v5c149 - The Mysterious Festival of the Angel Tribe
“Okay! We will now begin the festival that has been handed down in the Angel tribe! So, let’s start with an opening speech by Alex, everyone’s husband!”
–!!
Wait a minute, Yudit.
I didn’t hear anything about an opening speech.
“Master Alex, please.”
“What!? Really ……”
“Husband. You will be speaking in front of the public more often in the future. Think of it as practice for your speech.”
I was urged by Sakura and Meilin to give a speech about the festival in front of dozens of people, including the dolls who had come to represent the festival.
……Well, that’s it. I really didn’t think anything of it, so I said something random, but no one seemed to mind, so I’ll pretend it didn’t happen either.
Immediately after I finished my greeting, there was a sound like something breaking the wind, and then something exploded in the starry night sky.
“What the hell!? Is it an enemy …… Hm, this is?”
“Sophie and Rei worked together to make this for the festival, and they call it a firework! Isn’t it beautiful!”
“It’s amazing, big brother!”
In the night sky, with a roaring sound, a flower of light is born and disappears.
I see. It was indeed beautiful, and not only Yudit and Nora, but everyone was looking up at the sky.
But since Yudit was flying in the air and not wearing underwear, I looked up and …… Wow, the fireworks are so beautiful.
Not long after that, the bright lights went out and we were back in the night sky with the stars twinkling.
“Okay, Let’s light the fire first. Ellie, please!”
“Yes. [Low Flame].”
In response to Yudit’s voice, Ellie lit a fire on the tree set up in the venue.
I see. So you sing about around this fire …… What? Isn’t there more than one fire?
I had thought that everyone would be surrounding a large wooden bonfire, but there are six smaller fires lined up in a circle.
And when the bonfire lighted up the surroundings, I noticed …… that there was a magic circle at the top of the bonfire.
“…… Yudit. What kind of festival is this?”
“I don’t remember the details, but it’s a regular festival that takes place every 50 years or so.”
“50 years …… Well, it’s fine I guess. Anyway, it’s not a weird magic circle, right?”
“Yep, it’s fine! ……Well, I’ll continue, but you can’t go inside the magic circle I drew with holy water!”
I knew it was a magic circle! And by holy water, that means …… no, let’s not touch that subject.
Under Yudit’s direction, everyone was arranged around the magic circle.
“Then, let’s all sing first! Follow my lead!”
They decided to sing.
I thought we would sing a song that everyone knew by clapping or something, but …… I knew I should have made sure beforehand.
I was inwardly reflecting on all the things I should have done, but I was grateful to Yudit for going so far with this spur-of-the-moment request, and decided to go along with it, but…
“–HILFE”
(T/N: Yeah, that’s the lyrics. I guess.)
Yep. I don’t get it even if it’s just the beginning.
At any rate, I imitated Yudit and followed her lead.
“–ICH BIN HIER”
“–HILFE”
“–ICH BIN HIER”
What shall I do? Is this a song? I don’t know what it means, but we just keep repeating the same words.
I checked Meilin, who was standing right beside me …… and as I expected she was confused, and our eyes met.
On the other hand, the magic circle laid with holy water is glowing white.
The light became even brighter and went right above–high in the sky.
“Yes, that’s it! That’s all that’s decided for the Angel Tribe’s festival, the rest is just having fun, talking, and eating!.”
“I see. Then, let’s eat the food Lydia and the others prepared for us.”
“Yay! I don’t know where to start!”
The table with the dishes was moved near the campfire, and everyone enjoyed the food as if it were a standing party.
Incidentally, I told them that the dolls should eat the same dishes, but they seemed to eat what was on the table prepared by the dolls themselves.
Not all of the dolls were able to attend the party because they had to take care of their children or run errands, so they felt bad that only some of them were eating the same meal as me and Meilin.
Anyway, when the food that had been prepared started to run out…
“Yudit. What was that light?”
“What? I don’t know. At any rate, I think they held the festival at night because it was easier to tell that it was a success at night, but …… I don’t really know.”
“I-Is that so. Well, at any rate, I enjoyed it, so I guess that’s good. Everyone, we can clean up tomorrow, just put out the fire and let’s go home!”
I asked Ellie and Lydia to extinguish the bonfire with water magic, and I used some low-light magic to illuminate the surroundings.
As usual, Nora hugged me from the front and Yudit from behind. On top of that, we head back to the house with Fiine and Sophie hugging me on each arm.
“Eh ……? What do you mean? What about the Bukkake Festival? Isn’t there a second part after this!? Master!!”
For some reason, Monica is standing there alone, not moving from her spot and screaming, but …… I wonder what is wrong with her.
