We mixed with the crowd on the busy streets of the festival. Every time we passed by one of the stalls, the merchants had to rush to make a new sold-out panel after we had purchased everything they had. The merchants at the stall were selling many different kinds of sweets, so I bought all of them and had them packed. I handed most of the baggage to Siegfried with a delighted face. He silently followed me as he carried all the luggage, like a porter. It seemed that he would be carrying more than enough to make me full, even if I only ate snacks.
Â
“It would be weird if you ate this much,” Siegfried grumbled, looking down tiredly at the small hill of cookie boxes.
Â
“Why are you nagging like an old man?” I teased.
Â
I watched his expression as I made fun of him complaining. It’s only for a day, so what?
Â
“Of course I have to eat, and if I fill my stomach with sweets….” I said while trailing off.
Â
“Ei.”
Â
With his continuous nagging, I put a cloud-shaped cookie in Siegfried’s mouth. He widened his eyes and munched on the snack quietly. I listened to the sound of him crunching the cookie with a pleased expression. I happily laughed and sat down alongside him on the bench. He seemed to like the snack despite his nagging.Â
