Chapter 102: The Beauty Pageant Officially Begins
October 7th—the day when Magnolia's Harvest Festival officially takes place.
On this day, the festive atmosphere reaches its peak.
The city's busiest streets are now packed with people. Besides the local residents, many from nearby villages and towns have also arrived.
Some have even been drawn by the fame of the Magical Parade, coming from even farther away.
Street vendors are energetically hawking their goods, and Goodman is one of the stall owners enthusiastically promoting his products.
Every so often along the roadside, musicians play instruments and sing songs, while clowns perform acrobatics.
Even the boats on the canal are adorned with various decorations. The cheerful boatmen occasionally sing a few fisherman's songs.
Food stalls are even more bustling, with the famous snack street filled with delicious aromas.
Natsu, who could barely walk steadily due to the aftereffects of eating lightning, dragged Happy out early in the morning to feast.
Given his appetite, it's estimated that not long after the festival, he'll have to find work.
Because it's a rare celebration, not many people came to the guild's tavern in the morning; everyone went to enjoy activities that interested them.
