Chapter 108: The Festival
The festival begins. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the melodious sound of the stringed instruments sounded, the people who were wandering around the temporary shopping street walked towards the temple one by one.
"There's a beautiful dance at the festival." The princess of Beirut looked forward to it.
"Then let's go too." I haven't found Princess Linda for the time being, maybe I've gone somewhere that interests her. She left without saying hello, wouldn't she be upset...... Days is also a little worried. Because just now she wanted Days to get her a bracelet, but Days didn't do it right away.
"Let's go, let's go." The Beirut sister grabbed Dyce's hand and trotted up.
"Wait, wait." Running in such a crowded place, Days had to try to dodge so as not to hit someone. And at this time, isn't it better for men to run in front?
Beirut's hand was very soft, and the hand where Daiss was caught felt very happy. While being happy, Days didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt a very cold and even murderous gaze staring at him around him.
It's an illusion.
"Mr. Dyce!" Sophia held Miss Anna and waved to Dyce.
"Ah, Miss Sophia!" The princess of Beirut also responded happily, dragging Days to the rendezvous.
Miss Anna also had several strings of shiny red things in her hands.
Dai Si looked at it curiously, and Miss Anna took the initiative to come up and "offer treasure": "Brother, this is called sugar gourd, it's delicious, sweet and sour." ”
"How do you eat it?" Although the thing has been handed to the mouth. But Days didn't know how to eat it, and he had never eaten anything like it before.
Anna took it back, gently bit the top candy, and then ripped it off: "Autumn hoo like!" (And that's it!) )”
Then she handed the string of sugar gourds to Dyce.
Days looked at the sharp bamboo skewers that were exposed after the first candy was bitten away, and felt that the sharpness made him a little scared. He didn't dare to take his mouth from the front, held Anna's hand, then bit it sideways, and then gently moved outward.
The candy is sweet on the outside, as sweet as honey. The fruit inside is also the first time to eat. There is a sourness that is just neutralized by the honey outside, and it looks delicious.
The fruit has some seeds in the middle because it is very hard. So don't worry about accidentally biting at all. Just worry about not getting your teeth broken.
"Just now the owner said that this sugar gourd is delicious. I don't believe it yet, because the fruits keep telling me that they are not sweet and not ripe, but Sister Sophia and Sister Rita see that many children are buying them. So I bought it and tasted it. Anne also tasted it, and sure enough, it was delicious. ”
"Well, that's good."
Days took out his handkerchief and placed the pit in his handkerchief.
Wearing a white and red shrine maiden costume, the shrine maiden began to dance to the music inside.
"Princess Linda?!" At first, I just thought this figure was familiar, but after taking a closer look, I realized that the white-clothed shrine maiden dancing on it was actually Princess Linda.
"It was a good jump."
A baritone said behind him, and everyone turned around and saw that it was the priest they had seen in the morning.
"My daughter is a shrine maiden here, but she just caught a cold, so I asked Princess Tolinda. Oops, that's a big help. ”
"Well, Sister Linda danced really well." The princess of Beirut also said the same, "But isn't there a Gemini in this Kagura dance?" ”
"That's true, yes, but I only have one daughter."
"It's okay, I'll go up and play with Linda."
"But, Your Highness the Princess, you haven't cleansed your body yet......"
"Are you saying I'm not clean?"
"Don't dare to ......"
Although she was a little unhappy with the priest's obstruction, Her Royal Highness Princess Beirut went to bathe herself and poured cold water on herself before changing into a shrine maiden costume.
Princess Linda, who was dancing on the field, was about to leave the stage at the end of the song, but found that the music was playing again, and it was another familiar song.
"The Dance of the Twins?" Princess Linda had a stunned look on her face.
When the priest came to ask her, he didn't say that to her...... But when the music sounds, you have to dance, otherwise the gods and spirits of this land will be unhappy and will bring disaster...... As the future mother of a nation, how can she do such a thing and make her people suffer?
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the princess of Beirut, who was behind the curtain, and immediately understood. I'm a little unhappy in my heart, but I'm dancing to the gods right now, so I can't think too much about it.
As the opening music played, the princess of Beirut also stepped on the light steps to Princess Linda's side. The two of them are about the same height, wearing white and red shrine maiden costumes, and they look unusually beautiful. And their dancing is not only intoxicating, but also satisfying to the elves of this land.
I don't know when it began, and various colored light clusters have floated in the forest, which is a strange sight. The clusters of light looked gentle, serene, and fluttering, as if they were in an invisible ocean, rising and falling with the waves.
"It's beautiful." Miss Anna was the first to find out.
"You can't point at them, they're gods." The priest said.
"So many gods." This was a surprise to Miss Anna, who had previously only worshipped the gods of light. The gods of light, and only the Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, can be said to be one god or three gods.
Days couldn't help but look at Teacher Rita, hoping that she would answer, she was watching the performance on stage with an unhappy face, and seeing that Days was looking at herself, she immediately joined the topic and became an encyclopedia: "Well, all things have spirits, and they are all gods here." It's just a difference in positioning. Here all spiritual beings are regarded as gods, which is out of awe and love for nature. In the system of the gods of light, the gods are unique. The other gods are false gods...... Or to put it another way, it's the Almighty. ”
"I see." Days and Anna nodded together.
Seeing that the two siblings were so tacitly in sync, Miss Rita had a complicated expression again.
The Kagura dance gradually reaches its climax and then nears its end. Her Royal Highness Princess Beirut and Her Royal Highness Princess Linda made a curtain call and gracefully exited the stage. The audience was fascinated by it, and it took a while for them to come to their senses, and then they exhaled deeply and sighed to each other.
It's probably hard to see such a beautiful Kagura dance in the future.
"My daughter is going to be angry next time. Because, this Kagura dance is so exciting. The priest's expression looked pleased. It's also a little worried.
I am glad that this festival was a success. The presiding deity of this temple will surely be happy and will gain more power from it, so that he can better protect the land.
Worries are about what to do with next year's festival...... You can't get two princesses every time......
"Next time, your daughter will be able to dance with one of the princesses." Days made an offer.
"Ahh That's a great idea. It's wonderful. The priest nodded repeatedly. First of all, I went to express my gratitude to the two princesses. ”
As the dance ended, the crowd began to disperse.
"Let's go ahead and eat!" Miss Anna proposed.
"Okay. What about Mr. Dyce? Sophia asked a little jerkily. Today, I suddenly changed my name, and I still don't feel comfortable.
"Let's go with us." Although it is said that Princess Beirut and Princess Linda should wait for a while, they must not be separated from their sister all the time.
In other words, it turned out that Princess Linda was preparing for the festival, no wonder she suddenly disappeared.
Days followed Sophia and the three of them as they continued to wander around the shopping street, Miss Anna and Miss Rita were excited to eat all kinds of snacks, and Days couldn't help but join them. Sophia was paying for them, then watching them play happily with a faint smile on her face, looking at them like a mom or a big sister.
"Yaho~~~" Princess Beirut fell from the sky, snatched the sizzling tofu in Dais's hand, and took three or two bites directly into her mouth, completely losing her image, which made Dais's jaw fall to the ground in surprise.
"It's delicious, I like tofu the most!"
The princess of Beirut not only ate, but also chewed and talked regardless of the image, completely losing her usual elegance and reserve.
"Look, people are hungry from Kagura Dance." After eating, he also aimed at the mapo tofu in Miss Rita's hand.
"If you don't give, you don't give, you have to eat and buy it yourself."
"But I didn't bring any money......"
"It's okay, I'll pay for the night's expenses on behalf of Mr. Dyce." Sophia smiled.
"That's right, that's right, the boy should have a treat at this time!" Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut took the box she had previously held with the beckoning cat from Dyce's hand, but stuffed it back into Dyce's hand, "At this time, the gentleman should take something for the lady." Then she happily went around looking for something to eat.
Days took the box in his hand, looked at the girls in front of him, and suddenly found that Sophia was more like a princess.
This elegance, this bearing......
"Allah, everyone had a great time." A crisp and slightly childish voice sounded, and the innate majesty and superiority in that voice made people have to care about the owner of this voice.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Linda, your dancing is wonderful." Days said politely.
"Thank you."
"I almost thought that Her Royal Highness the princess was the full-time witch here."
"I don't want to marry a god, I want to marry the next emperor of the Zinael Empire. The reason why I learned these kagura dances was that I learned them in a dance class. ”
By the way...... This kind of casualness, this kind of understatement, makes people feel even more, "I don't understand, but it's amazing"!
Anna finished eating a skewer of roast lamb: "But Anne thinks this dance is so complicated. ”
"It's not complicated at all, I'll dance more complicated."
"That's amazing, can you teach Anne a chance?"
"Of course, Anne is so cute, let's be friends."
"Okay—"
Seeing that the two of them can become friends, Days is also very happy. And being able to be friends with Anna means that this person will not have ill will towards everyone here. Days has also experienced some things, and he has also been a little vigilant.
However, he forgot one thing...... among "everyone", Anna would not include Her Royal Highness the Princess of Beirut. At least for now.
Princess Linda really doesn't hate Dyce, but she hates Princess Beirut. While Princess Linda isn't hostile to Dyce, she needs to do something to please that guy...... That person is the future emperor of the Zinael Empire.
"By the way, I just met Prince Culbert's brother."
"It's the adult." Days replied casually, after all, he is someone's brother, and he will never show an unhappy expression.
But everyone else frowned, because Prince Culbert made a bad impression of everyone. Conceited, arrogant.
"He, as if he had found something over there, said it was...... Well, it seems that some girl was dragged away by the beast......" Princess Linda couldn't think of a good reason for a while, considering that Days was a good gentleman, so she thought about such a thing.
"Girls? Beast? Dyce really started to care, "Where?" ”
Touch.
Days received a punch from Miss Amy in the head.
"Stupid, don't care so much, how much ability do you have?"
Miss Amy is eating a sandwich-like food with vegetables and stewed meat.
Miss Anna looked at Princess Linda with surprise, and then considered things with a serious expression. Because she found out that Princess Linda was lying, but she didn't feel any malice in her. So why?
Do you want to debunk it?
Perhaps, she just wants to be alone with her brother for a while?
Just as the princess of Beirut brought another box of things: "This is an octopus ball, it's delicious!" ”
"Wow, what's all that stuff up there?"
"This black is seaweed, this yellow is meat floss, and this white is a delicious sauce."
"It feels delicious!" As soon as Anna was happy, she forgot what had just happened.
Of course, he didn't notice that Days secretly slipped away with Princess Linda.
Days quickly ran in the direction that Princess Linda had pointed at the beginning, and soon reached a dense forest on the other side of the temple.
"You, you let go." Princess Linda broke free of Dyce's hand, she didn't like the boy in front of her, she was going to become the mother of a country in the future, so she naturally didn't look down on the young man in front of her who was not decisive or domineering.
"I'm sorry."
It's not even nice to say sorry. So, let's just let him go over there.
"I think it's going that way. I...... I won't be able to go, and if I leave for a long time, it will also make the princess and sister of Beirut unhappy. ”
"Oh, okay." Days felt that she had a point, and watched her leave, and he turned and walked in the direction she was pointing.
Because, he believed her. Because, my sister Anna and she are friends. (To be continued.) )
