Chapter 94 Harvest Festival

Sometimes answering a call well will make people want to talk more.

However, the current situation does not require a good connection.

Senior mage Miss Mira explained to newcomer Rhodes:

"It's a harvest festival. Magnolia holds a harvest festival every October. It's a celebration for everyone in the city."

"Oh~ it's the Harvest Festival." Rhodes remembered that he and Natsu had attended a celebration specially held in advance for them last month.

To sum it up, eat, drink, have fun, dance around the bonfire, and let your joy go.

Rhodes asked: "Is it necessary to ignore the mission for this?"

Mira said: "Of course, this is the biggest celebration of the year. Celebrating this year's harvest and praying for good luck in the coming year...are very important activities for everyone."

Rhodes nodded: "I seem to understand a little bit."

He remembered that many places held harvest festivals in the autumn.

For local people, the Harvest Festival is as important as the Chinese New Year, and it is something that must be well prepared.

Mira added:

"Not just an ordinary celebration, we at Fairy Tail, as the only magicians' guild in Magnolia, are responsible for holding a magical parade that night.

Everyone stayed in the guild to prepare for this parade, which was a large-scale parade well-known throughout the Ishgar continent.

Even people from nearby villages and towns will come here to see it, and then the entire Magnolia will become overcrowded. "

"Parade..." The consequence of watching too much negative news is that mentioning this word makes Rhodes think of something bad.

In fact, the word itself has no tendency. It can mean celebration and commemoration, as well as demonstration and protest.

The thing that the guild is responsible for is obviously a celebration and performance in nature, and it is specially left to the Magisters' Guild to handle it, presumably using magic.

Rhodes asked: "Then what exactly do we need to do?"

"What you need to do specifically is to clear that table quickly!"

Lucky complained, "Don't just talk, my stomach is already protesting."

Huh, does it take so long for two people to clear a table?

Mira said to Lucky: "Sorry, I'll be fine soon."

Rhodes also said quickly: "Sorry, sorry, I asked too many questions."

Lucky had her hands on her hips, damn, it felt even more irritating.

Rhodes put the tableware on the tray and took it away, while Mira carefully wiped the table clean.

After that, it was lunch time for the tavern staff, and the stomach bag filling part from Lucky's mouth.

However, eating did not delay them from continuing the topic.

"The most important thing about the Magic Parade is the magic performance. It should be gorgeous and distinctive, showing the style of our guild. It's best if people can't help but want to join us as soon as they see it."

Rhodes thought for a moment, what if he participated in the parade and summoned a lot of wild monsters to run across the street...

That doesn’t look good either.

Unless they are allowed to perform some tricks, such as the shadow wolf crawling into a ring of fire or something, it wouldn't be a circus.

"It seems like there's nothing wrong with me. My magic doesn't seem to have any gorgeous effects."

You can't just add an Ember Crown to yourself and then show off the Dragon Slayer who uses fire to inflict pain.

Mira said: "How is it possible? Summoning so many wild monsters out of thin air is very gorgeous in itself."

"That's right, that's right, why is it none of your business?" Lucky said,

"There is a major event that you must participate in, and that is the Miss Fairy Tail Beauty Pageant!"

"..." Rhodes looked at her, "Me? Beauty pageant? Can it be any more outrageous?"

Lucky admired his thinking: "Who told you to become a contestant? Aren't you going to vote? Sister Mira will participate~"

Mira stroked her cheek with one hand: "Ah, I feel a little shy when Lucky said it so formally."

"It seems like we can look forward to it?" Rhodes thought for a moment, "Hey, Lucky, aren't you going to participate?"

"No, I can't compare to Sister Mira anyway, so there's no point in participating. I hate lecherous guys, and it would be very uncomfortable to be looked at like that."

Lucky waved her hand and said narrowly, "And are you still in the mood to care about whether I participate in the competition? Why don't you tell me what you want to see Sister Mira wear that day." "Of course I want to see something..." Rhodes stopped talking, " Don’t ask me about this kind of thing, this is a competition, I don’t understand much.”

"Just make a wish, in case Sister Mira agrees."

Lucky tried to seduce him, "For example, swimsuits, cat ear costumes, bunny girls, aren't you excited?"

Even though I couldn't express my heartbeat, Rhodes said sternly: "I'm not that kind of person!"

Mira smiled: "It always feels like what you said Lucky is something Erza would do."

The specific content of the Magical Parade has not yet been officially decided, so Rhodes’ question was in vain.

According to Mira, in fact, many times in the past, the president only ordered people on the day of the parade, and then everyone improvised.

There are also times when arrangements have been made, but emergencies always arise and we have to make temporary adjustments.

No matter how we do it, everyone will try their best that day and contribute a visual feast every time.

A fairly free magic show, this is why Fairy Tail's Magical Parade is so famous.

This also fits the style of Fairy Tail.

Time passed day by day while Rhodes was busy.

These days, he insists on exercising every time after get off work, until he is too tired to get up.

Then he gritted his teeth and summoned the crimson mark tree monster to give him the aura of the Crown of Embers.

There is no way to restore stamina, but the health regeneration effect of Ember Crown can help him get rid of the damage caused by overexertion.

In this way, when he wakes up tomorrow, he won't have the serious sequelae of back pain and leg cramps.

However, after entering October, Rhodes' practice plan was temporarily slowed down.

According to the general story routine, something big might happen in such a large festival, and it is usually necessary to maintain sufficient magic power and physical strength to cope with emergencies.

Besides, there has been a large influx of tourists and vendors in Magnolia recently, and there might be a few bad guys mixed in, so we have to be on guard.

"Good morning Rhodes, you're in high spirits today too."

"Brother Goodman, why didn't I see you here two days ago?"

"Of course it's for that!" Goodman pointed to several large boxes stacked on the first floor.

"Our whole family has been working overtime these days, and we have finally made so many finished products. We are just waiting for the harvest festival to be done in the past few days!"

During the celebrations, sales of handicrafts such as wood carvings and weavings should be good.

"It's been hard enough, so I wish you a prosperous business."

"Hahaha, thank you!" Goodman hung a bunch of colorful flags outside the store, dug out a bunch of balloons, and was ready to blow them up and hang them up.

"By the way, will you participate in the Magic Parade this year?"

"I can't say for sure. I'm still a newcomer who has only joined the guild for three months."

"I know, he's the strongest newcomer!"

"Even you know about this..."

It seems that ordinary people also subscribe to Wizard Weekly.

As the Harvest Festival approaches, almost every household, like Goodman, hangs up some decorations such as colorful flags, balloons, and banners. The festive atmosphere is very strong.

The number of pedestrians on the streets has increased visibly, and all kinds of vendors are working hard, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Rhodes said goodbye to Goodman and took Worm to the guild.

The little guy has grown from the size of a palm to the size of a basketball, and is still chubby, running around restlessly at Rhodes' feet.

There were so many tempting fragrances in the air that Worm was a little dizzy.

So Rhodes decided to throw it into the kitchen to eat at the guild, euphemistically saying that he would cooperate in developing version 2.0 of Poro Cuisine.
