Time: March 3, 7 o'clock in the evening.

Location: White Emperor College.

That's right, the much-anticipated Daughter's Day festival is finally here.

This festival is also called the "Doll Festival" or "Peach Blossom Festival", and is called the "Hina Festival" in Japanese. It is a festival that hopes for the healthy growth of girls, and traditionally, families with girls will put dolls and liquor, diamond cakes, peach blossoms and so on on this day to celebrate.

The origin of this festival is said to date back to the Heian period more than 1,000 years ago.

At that time, it was customary to hold prayers on the first day of March to pray to the gods of heaven and earth, offer seasonal food, and float some paper in rivers and seas to make dolls. In the hope that his bad luck will be sent to the dummy, and he will be taken away.

Moreover, the aristocratic girls of that era had the habit of playing with dolls, and the method was similar to the current "playing house", and over time, the two customs slowly overlapped, and it evolved into today's Daughter's Day.

- As for the name of the "Peach Blossom Festival", it is because the Daughter's Festival coincides with the time when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but this is the original setting. Because the Hina Festival was originally on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, but after the Meiji Restoration in the 11th ward, it was changed to the third day of the third month of the Western calendar.

"It's really big......

From the top of the hill, overlooking the bustling sea of people everywhere on campus, the debtor butler in his cloak and coat couldn't help but show a timid expression.

"There are too many people, it's a challenge." Mu Xiu pointed out what he was afraid of.

Looking down from this hillside, you can see an endless stream of human heads below, which is completely black and pressed. The evergreen trees on both sides of the school road are lit up with colorful balloons. On the slightly empty venue, colorful flags are fluttering, and various business slogans and banners are displayed in the wind next to the stalls.

The flow of people is like a tide, from the outside and inside, the business is busy, I don't know how many people are enjoying the leisure of the festival, and their faces are full of cheerful smiles.

As one of the five major events, the Hakura Gakuin Hive's Festival festival is always held in great grandeur, and it is famous throughout Tokyo and nearby cities, so many people come to participate.

"yes, it's so crowded, I want to sneak into the bell tower without anyone noticing...... It feels like a very difficult task! Ayasaki was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes shook violently.

"Not really, although there are many people in the open space near the bell tower, because they are not allowed to set up stalls, the people there will be a little looser in comparison-come on, Ayasaki boy!"

Mu Xiu said in this tone of "Warrior, I am optimistic about you", and then put his two hands on the shoulders of the debtor steward, and slapped twice in the latter's frightened eyes, as if encouraging the other party.

"Ah......hh What the hell is going on with this title like the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic! Ayasaki sighed with some self-defeating -

"At this critical moment of life and death, why do I have to queue up to squeeze the crowd first, can't I just go straight to the BOSS fight?"

"Because the demon king lives in the castle, and the princess is also on the puppet stage, if there are no conditions, why don't you just ask Daisy-san to go to the mansion of the Sanqian family to pretend to have a duel?"

Mu Xiu looked at him with some pity in his eyes, and then comforted him irresponsibly.

"But don't be so pessimistic, where is the life-and-death crisis, even if it fails, it's just a cosmist, everyone can understand and accept it, it's not a big problem......"

"It's a big problem, okay?" The debtor's eyes darkened, but he thought of something again, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, classmate Mu Xiu, has another person found it?" ”

It's like every time students go back to school after the holidays, they always have to pull people around and ask, "Is the homework done?" In that case, he was in desperate need of a companion now. Although the other party may not have the ability to help him, he can make himself somewhat psychologically comforted.

"No, I can't find anyone, and I haven't heard of anything about it. If there is no news from Miss Yi Cheng when she comes over later, she probably can't find that person. Mu Xiu was noncommittal.

He looked down at the scenery and looked absent-minded, as if he didn't seem to care much about the other person's problems.

The air froze.

Debt Steward: "......" He suddenly had a wonderful feeling that he knew each other, was familiar with each other, and had friendships.

"By the way, the Daughter's Day Festival, as one of the five major events of the White Emperor Academy, also has a bonus, and because it is not a sports confrontation event, the nature is more relaxed and enjoyable, so there are many people who participate."

Suddenly thinking of something, Mu Xiu turned his head and said to Ayasaki with kindness.

"Contrary to Valentine's Day, the theme of this festival is that boys invite girls to dance together and make memories together...... Whoever wins the first place will not only receive a huge prize money, but also have the privilege of inviting someone to dance the opening dance of the night festival! ”

"Well, I'm not too interested in dancing or anything, Mr. Mu Xiu." The debtor steward has nothing to do with himself, but waits intently for the time to act.

"What dance?" Mu Xiu pursed his lips, "The point is to create good memories, this is the last festival before the exam, to create the last memories!" ”

"The last memories?"

"That's right, for those who failed the exam and were dropped out, it's the last memory!" The young man smiled maliciously.

"What a nasty event!"

The debt steward was suddenly struck, and the whole person turned gray and white.

At this moment, both of them felt a faint vibration from the ground under their feet at the same time, and at the same time sensed the slightest bad sign. It was as if on the eve of an approaching storm, and there was a strange calm, and suddenly everything was quiet for a moment, and the air seemed to condense.

Although everyone who participated in the festival immediately looked at each other in confusion, and then quickly resumed the hustle and bustle of the previous one.

But Ayazaki always had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction-

There seemed to be something leaking out of it, spreading to the entire night sky in an instant, followed by a huge pillar of light that rose into the sky, and the thick clouds in the night sky seemed to start rotating around that pillar of light.

"Hey, hey, it's too much, I just want to lift the curse, can I use such a big battle?"

The corner of the debtor's eyes twitched, and he made an incoherent voice.

"And there was a big accident on the other side of the city yesterday, although there were not too many casualties, but it should be enough!"

"It's normal, this is Tokyo, and the people of New York haven't said anything yet!" Mu Xiu said perfunctory casually, he saw that the pillar of light only appeared for a moment, and he was covered by something, and he pressed it back, and immediately raised his eyebrows.

What has just leaked out is spiritual power, but it is not the kind of spiritual power that the exorcist refines the external energy, but the primitive spiritual power, the "mana" contained in the atmosphere.

However, it is obviously impossible to condense the free energy from the atmosphere of this era to that extent, and that phenomenon looks more like the leylines under the city have been punctured, and the energy flowing in the inner planets of the leylines has been cathartic.

However, this phenomenon only appeared for a few seconds, and probably only people who had psychic vision and happened to be looking in that direction at that time would notice the appearance of this anomaly.

Seeing Ayasaki's tangled expression, Mu Xiu sighed: "You don't have to worry about this matter, first find a way to deal with your own problems, and I'll handle this matter - besides, I feel the breath of a certain little ghost!" ”

Santuhe and Hong finally showed a little clue, and Mu Xiu naturally wanted to go and meet him, and by the way, he stopped him from destroying the entire city. Although I don't understand what that guy wants to do, no matter how you look at it, he can't be prepared to benefit the general public, and he deliberately chose to do things during this time period......

If you want to say that the evil spirit imp didn't deliberately want to avoid himself, of course Mu Xiu believed it...... Balls!

"Wait, Mu Xiu...... Classmates ......"

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, when the debt butler saw the other party flying out of the black night sky like a cannonball, and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

“……”

I couldn't tell if it was a little more relaxed or if I felt a little disappointed in myself, and after standing for a while, Ayasaki sighed.

Then he turned around, and immediately the view was mostly taken up by a face that was almost directly attached.

"Wow! …… Hey, Se, Segawa...... Why are you here? ”

The frightened debtor butler took a few steps back sharply before he could see the Izumi Segawa who appeared in front of him, and suddenly had a feeling that trouble was coming. He searched the terrain with his eyes, making a plan in his mind about an escape later, distracting the other party.

"Sata, you are, why don't you go down to the festival, what are you doing here?" Izumi Segawa looked at each other curiously, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, "And this dress is so strange, are you playing some role-playing game?" ”

"Nope! No, I'm not hiding anything! Ayasaki's heart suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly grabbed people first, wanting to fool the past.

“……”

“……”

"Huh? …… Conceal? ”

Izumi Segawa was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on her face was so subtle and subtle that she raised her hands like a little demon and approached: "No, Sata...... It's so hot in the summer and still wearing a coat......"

"It's only March now, Segawa ......" Seeing that the defense was useless, he didn't do any more useless work, and the debtor housekeeper with a black face turned around and ran.

"Wait! Show me what's inside the cloak——!! ”

"Don't want to, you play Kai for me!!"

……

……

At the same time, just as the debtor steward was as involved in the unfolding of trouble as ever.

In front of the school building, next to a stall where barbecue is bought.

"Then again, it's amazing that you would come to a place with so many people!" Touching the head of the blonde girl with double ponytails, Gui Daisy sighed.

Very unhappy, he turned around and knocked off the palm of the elder's hand, and Sanchiin Nagi said dissatisfiedly: "Don't talk about me like squatting at home without leaving home!" ”

The smile on Miss Maria's face next to her froze slightly: "Isn't it?" ”

Pretending not to hear the words of his maid chief dismantling the stage, the eldest lady of the Three Thousand Courtyard family clasped her hands and said proudly: "Really, I heard that you are going to hold a birthday party here today, so I specially rushed over to participate in the ......."

"I'm going to have a birthday party here?" Gui Daisy's eyes became confused, "I...... I didn't know anything about it......"

"But that's what the student council said—strange, Maria, didn't Icheng say she was waiting for us nearby, did you see her?" The little head looked around, and Sanzenin Nagi's attention was quickly diverted, and he looked at his maid suspiciously.

"Well, if it's Miss Izumi, maybe I'm lost again......"

Maria sighed and said, 8)
