On the street full of people, I took the public carriage with the little animal-eared Loli, Nita, resting in my arms.
Today is the 【Autumn Harvest Festival】!
Since this morning, several items that have any relations with today's event have been sold in every corner of the city. At the sa ti, many rchants are selling the so-called 【Autumn Festival Cake】and【Pig Milk Cake】.
What is 【Autumn Festival Cake】? This kind of food is boiled rice smashed in a large pot, then soaked in special spices, soaked for a period of ti, taken out and drained, and then kneaded into balls.
In terms of what kind of spices are best used to make it, it varies from person to person, and there is no certain limit.
As for the stuffing, it is customary to use the stuffing made of 【Tuka beans】, which is the common beans used in this world.
The appearance is earth-colored, but after eating it, the taste is similar to that of red beans.
Just think of it as an earthy red bean. It is rumored that the Goddess of Water used this kind of food when she helped the people when it's on famine in autumn, so it is called "Autumn Sacrifice Cake". As for "Pig Milk Cake", it is made of milk from a special milk-producing pig. into a yogurt-like food.
It is also one of the foods brought by the goddess of water.
I bought a pack from the boat rchant who rowed over and put it in Nita's hands.
On the day of the festival, I promised Uncle Paul to take Nita around the city, since due to the festival happening today, Paul is very busy.
Since Barella, lon, and Grace are a participant for the contest that would happen at the 【Opening Ceremony】, the three of them already went into the contestant preparation room.
The venue of the competition is different from previous years, this ti the venue is a maze.
It's not an ordinary maze, it's a water maze! ! !
The participant would move using a boat, this maze is called 【Underground Water City. Taigeitan】 and is located directly under the city where we are.
This labyrinth is usually not open to the public due to danger, and how deep the water maze is currently unknown, but it's rumored that the farthest soone had gone too is 50 floors deep.
This ti, only the first floor is used as the competition venue, but the first floor is already a very huge competition venue, at least the size of disney park from my previous life, it's super huge.
The first floor is haunted by various special low-level aquatic monsters. Although they are not very strong, their elusive actions are good training objects for fledgling students.
However, the water maze...is filled to the brim with water, sothing that is bad for Grace, the situation seems to be quite grim.
In places with heavy water vapor, the cooling ti of her teleportation will be extended a lot.
"Walson, Grace, where are we going?" Nita, who had a mouth full of rice grains, looked up at with big bright eyes.
"We are going to see the 【Opening Festival】."
I just took the capital boat and took her around, and now I will enter the academy to watch the 【Opening Festival】
Looking up from the boat, the bridge was already crowded with a lot of people waiting to enter.
The boat sailed under the bridge and entered the Academy waterway entrance.
At this ti, the boat stopped.
"Are you here to watch the 【Opening Ceremony】? Do you want to buy a ticket? Sir." Said the armored guard to .
"Ah, I already have it, here." I showed the player's family ticket that lon gave .
This ticket allows to sit in the VIP seat to watch the ongoing competition.
"Hm? You are a player family mber? You can disembark and go this way."
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." I pulled Nita's hand off the boat.
It's really hard to go to work during this kind of holiday.
With Nita, we were led into a room by another soldier.
There are nine soft chairs in the room, and a projection crystal is floating on it.
Oh oh oh, that's it, each player's family mbers have a separate room.
...Of course they have to be separated, otherwise there might be fights.
But there are not so many family mbers on our side.
And there are three contestants I know, and I'm their shared family mber...
After Nita and I sat down, the fourso from 【Eye of the Night Owl】 ca in not long after.
...Because there were too many tickets, I distributed them among them.
"Hey! Brother Walson, how are you doing!"
"It's the first ti I'm sitting at the seat for the participant's family…."
"...When will lon beat those people up?"
"Good morning, Brother Walson."
"Hello everyone." I nodded my head at them, and ntioned to them to sit, since the competition is about to start.
"Everyone—audience! ! ! '
'Good morning everyone! ! !
The projection crystal reflects the image, and the three-dinsional projection appears in front of us.
Wow, so clear! ? It looks like the host is standing in front of us.
It's a kind of televised thing of this world, projection crystals.
The projection crystal must be used with the cara crystal, and everything captured by the cara crystal will be three-dinsionally projected in front of the audience. Now we are watching the broadcast in the family seats.
You ask why I didn't watch the tournant from the arena directly?
Because the arena is a maze! How can the general audience go in and see it! ?
The only way for us to see is through the cara crystal, which is the safest way.
"I'm today's host——JJJJJJ—Sen! ! ! 』
『But I am not the point, first of all, I would like to introduce to you, contestant No. 1, check, check, check, check, check, check! ! ! 』
The image on the stereoscopic projection switched, and it beca a promising young man with a big sword on his back.
"【Opening Ceremony】? More like a warm up 』
"Oh oh oh oh oh, Cha Cha-Li made a bold statent--!!!"
...
This host is so noisy.
Extend the tiline a little bit, and then I'll sort it out for you.
After introducing all the players, he explained the rules of the competition.
The rules are actually quite simple.
Many treasure chests have been placed in the maze in advance.
Then, the contestants rowed boats to find four keys hidden in the maze, and then went to the central altar of the maze to open the treasure chest and get the 【Festival Torch】 to allow each other to compete for keys, to overturn other people's boats, and even to attack each other .
As for the matter of the participant dying? Actually, there is nothing to worry about.
The players are all equipped with a special magical tool, and the damage or even death they receive in the maze will all beco nothing after they leave the maze.
This prop can only be used in the Water City Labyrinth, and it is only useful on the 【Opening Ceremony】.
It's amazing, and when I read about it in a book, I was amazed.
It seems to be a prop protected by the goddess of water. This goddess seems to be far away from people, but she is actually very close.
Therefore, 【Autumn Harvest Festival】 has beco one of the most important festivals in Taigeitan.
The capital also set up a special magic circle on the first floor of the labyrinth. Once soone dies, they will be sent outside. With that special magic item, death will also beco invalid.
By the way, removing this magic item is considered a waiver, and any participant who does so would also be forcibly sent out. What a wonderful festival.
By the way, when you are equipped with that special magic item, you cannot receive any call from your 【Party】 mber, as to prevent cheating.
"Then—the 【Opening Ceremony】 begins! ! 』
With the shout of the host, the scene of the whole room changed.
Whoa!! ! ! This is... a third-person perspective! ! ! 3D mode! ! ! What kind of futuristic technology is this! ?
What I see now is like manipulating the character of lon in so MMORPG ga. lon's third-person perspective!!!! And it's a 360 degree vision too. At this mont, I am floating behind lon and looking at her sitting on a boat.
I looked at the small remote on the seat. So... can I still switch the role of observation by pressing the remote control!?
Isn't the benefit of the family seat too amazing?!
