Chapter 229 The Day of Preparation for the Rongcai Festival - Part 1
"Oh, I see... Yoomiya, don't be sad~ Even if we can't set off fireworks, we can still celebrate together! I heard the Rongcai Festival has lots of fun things to do~"
"Don't worry about me... The ban on fireworks is probably for security reasons... After all, many foreign tourists come to our country."
After saying that, Xiaogong sighed helplessly and then carried the fireworks back into the shop on his own.
Xunfeng, who had been silent to the side, raised his hand and aimed at the dozen or so boxes of fireworks by the door after being signaled by Hu Tao with his eyes, and then moved inside.
“Miss Xiaogong, with Xunfeng here, he can move it in the blink of an eye. You don’t need to exert yourself.”
After saying that, Hu Tao happily pulled Xun Feng in front of Xiao Gong, as if she were showing off a proud product.
"Uh... Hu Tao, don't talk to me like I'm some kind of housekeeping robot...!"
Xunfeng muttered a complaint under his breath while awkwardly laughing as he looked at the wall.
"Oh? It's an honor for you to do housework for me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Tao proudly crossed her arms.
"Haha, Miss Hu Tao and Mr. Xun Feng's relationship is getting better and better~ Last time you said that you only cared about Xun Feng because he was just your employee, but now..."
After saying that, Yomiya put aside her gloomy mood, walked over to Ayaka's side, picked up a watermelon, and instantly switched into "watermelon-eating spectator" mode.
Hey! When did you guys get these watermelons on you?!
Hu Tao stared in astonishment at the watermelons in the hands of the people behind her.
"It was my elder brother who was worried that you all had a long and tiring journey, so he sent someone from his residence to deliver watermelons to us to help ease your fatigue."
While savoring the watermelon, Ayaka looked at Kurumi seriously and said...
"Is that so..."
"By the way, now that we're here in Inazuma, we should at least meet our friends, right?"
Paimon, who had devoured three pieces of melon pulp in one go, pointed to the outlying island while wiping his mouth.
"I heard that Catherine from the Adventurers' Guild is recruiting adventurers to greet passengers at the docks... Apparently, she's been commissioned by the higher-ups in Inazuma, so the reward is quite generous!"
After saying this, Paimon's eyes gleamed with golden light, and the shape of a large Mora instantly appeared in his mind.
"Really? Then we can not only earn money, but also run into acquaintances!"
After thinking for a moment, Ying looked up and smiled.
"So... you're going to accept a commission and go to the outlying island?"
Fu Ningna stood to the side and spoke up curiously.
"Yeah, is Funina coming with us too?"
"Hahaha—I think I'll stick with the main group."
After saying that, Funina took Hu Tao's arm and waved goodbye to the two of them.
the other side.
Castle Keep.
"Sister, this festival is grand in scale and is also our country's first international cultural exchange. Do you really not need my help?"
"Hehe, it's alright. Little sister, you've practiced martial arts since you were young, so leave this to me. You and Sanbing go out for a stroll first."
"OK then……"
As soon as he finished speaking, the gates of the castle tower opened.
As soon as Kage stepped out of Raiden's room, he saw Yae no Miko with her arms crossed and a smile on her face.
"Little Yingying, did you miss me?"
"...Why does the Divine Child still address me in the same way even after the world has changed...?"
After muttering a few words to himself, Ying regained his composure and looked up at her.
"Didn't Fox Palace send you to Haiqi Island to invite Xinhai to visit? I heard it was to ease tensions between the two islands."
