Chapter 93: The Harvest Festival
Sometimes, responding appropriately can make someone more willing to share.
But in the current situation, there was no need to respond particularly cleverly.
Senior mage Miss Mira explained to the newcomer Rhodes:
"It's the Harvest Festival. Magnolia holds a Harvest Festival every October. It's a celebration for everyone in the city."
"Oh~ it's the Harvest Festival." Rhodes recalled that last month, he and Natsu had participated in a special early celebration just for them.
In summary, it was eating, drinking, playing, making merry, dancing around bonfires, and freely expressing joy.
Rhodes asked, "Is it necessary to neglect missions for this?"
Mira said, "Of course! It's the grandest festival of the year, celebrating this year's harvest and praying for good fortune in the coming year. It's a very important event for everyone."
Rhodes nodded, "I think I understand a bit now."
He remembered that many places held harvest festivals in the autumn.
For the locals, the importance of the Harvest Festival was akin to the New Year; it's something that must be properly prepared for.
