Box Garden, Northeast Boundary Wall, Free Zone, Commercial Area, Red Window Corridor.

The huge cloister covered entirely with red glass is bustling with people.

Yakumo walked on the left, Asukina walked on the right, and Esther took their hands and bounced forward between them.

At first glance, it should be a harmonious family of three.

However, because of Yakumo's outfit at this time - the goth loli costume on the last day of her women's career - led to this situation in the eyes of others, it became a pair of sisters traveling with their little sisters.

"If there are so many people here, the black rabbit shouldn't find out, right?"

"Who knows? The rabbit ears are connected to the center of the box, and they may be able to spot us. ”

Hearing this, Tomorrow Nai nodded, and then looked at the lively celebrations around her and became excited again.

"It's been a long time since I've played with Mo like this!"

“…… Are you complaining to me? ”

"Ahh......h ”

"Well, after all, they are different regions, and the box garden is so big, the distance between the northern and eastern regions is enough to meet the conditions for the formation of different civilizations."

After walking for several hours, during which Assuna and Esther bought some gifts that interested them, the three of them went to the center of a red-window cloister decorated with red bricks and carved glass, and sat down in front of a monument to rest.

Esther sat quietly on the bench, holding what appeared to be a candy apple's snack in her hand, sticking out her cute little tongue and licking, licking.

Yakumo leaned back on the back of the chair and looked at the clothes around him.

Asukina seemed to be in high spirits. It didn't take long to stand up again and look around at the exhibits sent by different communities.

Circle, circle, then small jump, run to a counter, and circle again.

Asukina at this time. It's no longer a wife who has been married for many years, but a girl who first met in SAO.

Although her appearance has not changed at all, she has long since faded her girlish atmosphere over the years, and it is difficult for people to see her as a little girl on weekdays - to be able to see such a rare scene, Yakumo Mo simply no longer looks at the decorations, but quietly looks at Asukina running around with a smile.

[It's rare to have such an opportunity, so it's better to play outside...... If the Black Rabbit is there, there shouldn't be anything, after all, the guy from the Sixteenth Night is also there]

Although he was always noisy on weekdays with Sixteen Nights, Yakumo knew that that guy was definitely a person he could rely on at critical moments.

[Erudite, powerful, and always with an impassioned attitude.] Well,If that nasty personality can be changed, it will definitely be a good friend.。 】

[But if it really changes, it won't be a reversal of the sixteenth night, right?]

While looking at Asuina's figure, Yakumo was thinking about the sixteenth night with a match.

"Now, Mo, let's go, if you stay in the same place all the time, you might be discovered by the black rabbit?"

Asukina, who ran over at some point, grabbed Yakumo Mo's sleeves with both hands and laughed mischievously.

"Well, let's go."

Pulling Esther, the two of them continued to walk around the festival.

Speaking of which. The atmosphere here is like Halloween. ”

Looking around, Assuna suddenly said.

"Halloween?"

"yes. I didn't see the jack-o'-lantern, though. ”

"Well, after all, it's not really Halloween, how can there be jack-o-lanterns?"

"It's rude, Jack, I'm right here."

- A magnetic voice sounded behind the trio.

Looking back, what I saw was a ...... Pumpkin monsters?

It has a jack-o-lantern-like head. He wears a black cloak over his body, his legs are not visible, and his white-gloved hand carries a small lantern that emits a warm light.

"Where's the demon!?"

“…… You're the wicked, I'm Jack, the Jack with the lantern. ”

Pumpkin Monster ...... Ahem, it was Jack scratching his pumpkin head. Said with a little distress.

Assuna on the side covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling that Yakumo Mo, who was a monster, was particularly happy when she asked others, "Where is the demon......

"Jack is Jack, not a demon! What a faux pasa for a beautiful big sister! ”

Beside Jack, a girl with amber eyes tied her long silver hair into a double ponytail stared at Yakumo with her hands crossed on her hips.

“…… It's rude, my name is Yakumo Asuna, he is Yakumo Mo, this is Esther, may I ask who you are? ”

"My name is Aixia, Aixia of [Willowisp]. Igni Fatus, this is Jack. ”

A girl who claims to love Xia, with pointed ears, is not human.

"Are you also here for the Fire Dragon Birth Festival?"

"I'm here for the competition." The girl leaned back her smooth jaw and said confidently, "What about you? ”

Holding Esther's little hand, Yakumo said, "Ah, I just came to play with my family, what kind of game are you talking about?" ”

"The duel of the creators can only be participated in by those who have the gift of creation, and the winner can ask the new class ruler Fire Dragon for the favor he wants, Aixia, I'm already in the finals!"

"Little sister is amazing!" Asuina clapped her hands and exclaimed.

"Hum ~~"

"A gift from creation? Can the winner also ask for favors from the dragon? ”

Yakumo muttered.

"What's wrong?"

"I wondered, if we win, would we be able to make a request like [restore the land that the community has lost its life to], and then the Black Rabbit and they will be very happy, right?"

“…… But I don't know if [Salamandra] can do it? After all, it was the traces left by the Demon King. ”

Aixia, who was listening to the discussion between Yakumo Mo and Asukina, suddenly spoke: "Hey? Do you want to participate? But I can't sign up anymore, and the finals are coming up tomorrow. ”

"Really? It's a pity, but in the end, do you still need to ask Sister Qiu to use Jin Kela? ”

"Sister Yuxiang may be able to do it too?" Asuna suddenly made a suggestion.

Ya Yunmo's face froze, "Forget it, I don't want Sister Youxiang to take this opportunity to make some strange requests." ”

Please, Sister Qiu, who responds to requests, and please do what Kazumi Yuka can do, I think a normal person will choose Sister Qiu, right?

If you look for Yuxiang, you may get an answer like "Ah, as long as I make you into flower fertilizer, I can restore life to the land".

Bidding farewell to Aixia and Jack, who met by chance, Yakumo Mo, Assuna and Esther continue shopping.

"Ink! Look at you! ”

Asukina suddenly grabbed Yakumo Mo's finger and pointed ahead.

There, on a stand, beneath the silver candlestick, there was a palm-sized, elven creature.

"Good, so cute!!"

Asukina, whose eyes immediately burst into stars, immediately let go of Yakumo Mo's hand and ran up.

"Hey, hey! Tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
