early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three oni maids carried three large flat plates to the prepared altar in front of the Big Tree Shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On those flat plates, this year’s harvest was piled up on the flat plate like a fruit platter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flat plates were placed side by side in front of the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the three oni maids go down, three high elves appear next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them have freshly hunted rabbit meat which they placed on the

cups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cups contain honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the number of cups is three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They line them up on the altar too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zabuton’s group went down, solemn music began to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the orchestra who was waiting near the altar that was playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orchestra is composed of lizardmen, civil servant girls, beastgirls, and for some reason, the conductor is Randan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「He said that he really wants to conduct so we let him do it.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the civil servant girls sitting next to me said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he yearn to be a conductor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels strange but he looks accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Randan’s move is a bit interesting, we have to concentrate on the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ancestor-san at the center, Fushu and Celes lined up to his left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「We wish to express our gratitude to the god of fertility and hold a feast of harvest.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ancestor-san’s declaration, ancestor-san, Fushu, and Celes pray for gratitude to the god in chorus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I and the representatives of each race, who are in front of the altar, listened to it solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They said that it would take ten days to do it in full scale but I asked them to shorten it so the result is this, a sort of informal ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, we moved to the main venue and the banquet began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ring and the audience seats surrounding it are the same as the martial arts tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are tents outside that serve food and alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ring, the performance schedule was decided by draw lots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Play by the First Floor Team Spiderlings』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it is a team composed of only spiderlings, their lines are placards so the beastgirls cooperated with them in voice acting their lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The showdown between Red Armor and White Armor was the highlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so I thought as the next scene is the two cooperating together to fight against the true villain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loo, who appeared to be the true villain, was quite majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she was defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The performance was not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is she prepared to be booed by the children?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s the villainess after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought they’ll boo but some cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her makeup is a little over the top after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No no, I mean you’re cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahaha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Group Performance by the Lizardmen』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lizardman with a spear goes up to the ring while performing something followed by another, then another. They gradually increased while performing in a group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end, Daga and another one showed a one on one performance. Isn’t that just a demonstration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was hurt so I guess it’s okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Tap Dance by Upstairs Team Spiderlings』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boards are lined up on the ring and about 60 spiderlings tap dance there rhythmically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are a lot of them but it is not crowded because they are only fist size spiderlings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole venue was quiet at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a sense of unity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Gymnastics by the Dwarves』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s amazing how they move exactly to the sound of a flute but….why do you have to drink alcohol every time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t think they’re drunk but their last pyramid made my heart pound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Interpretive Dance by the Titans and Lamias』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The titans are big so they are impactful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are eight of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dance with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know what it means but it seems to be a dance to thank god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was thinking about why I couldn’t see a single lamia, the titans made a final pose and they jumped out of the middle of the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did they come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t take this lightly since there’s a magic element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Illusion by the Demon King』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Illusion!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon king said so and teleported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess he practiced this performance of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Beezel is right next to him and he can use teleportation magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Illusion!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the demon king took out the kittens from his hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, two, three, four….kittens.
