After watching Abigail leave, Leon wandered aimlessly around with his straw hat on.
As for the festival games Abigail had mentioned, Leon wasn’t the least bit interested. He wasn’t good at those either.
If it were something like beanbag tossing, chicken fighting, or card slapping, Leon might give it a try. But the ones Abigail mentioned? He’d never played them before.
Still, going back this early felt like a waste. It was, after all, his very first festival in Pelican Town. Leon decided he should at least enjoy it a little longer.
Maybe because it was close to mealtime, most people had gathered at Gus’s egg dish buffet table. Leon joined them, though he didn’t eat much.
He wasn’t really hungry—he was mainly there to watch the eating contest.
Among the contestants, Leon recognized Alex. But clearly, the guy wasn’t doing well—he was already slumped back in his chair, eyes rolled back.
Each contestant had a small wooden barrel next to them, filled with boiled eggs, each stamped with the Joja Corporation logo.
The host of this eating contest was Morris, Joja’s resident agent in Pelican Town.
Leon watched for a while before losing interest. It wasn’t a competition he could join, and the prize for first place was a year of unlimited Joja Cola—something Leon had absolutely no desire for.
“Hey old man, why aren’t you in the contest?” After nibbling on a little food, Leon noticed Linus crouched by the grass and bushes at the edge of the square, leaning against a maple tree and yawning. Leon strolled over with a teasing grin.
