Now we will begin the spirit service. Let's have fun today, everyone.
The person who gave the opening speech of the spirit festival was an elf woman named Melhilde.
The elves had put more effort than anyone else in preparing for this spirit festival.
After the opening remarks, Sireba gave words of praise to the spirits and explained what they are like.
The spirits are very special to us," she said. We are happy that the spirits, who at one time could not speak to us, have come back to life and that we are able to hold this festival.
That is how Shireva's story begins.
How wonderful the existence of spirits is. How special they are.
She tells us these things.
We listened to her talk in silence.
The spirits were happily flying around us, and I felt a little disappointed that only a limited number of people could see them.
After the opening remarks were made under the spirit tree, the cooking competition was to begin first. Incidentally, although there will be a cooking competition, food will also be prepared separately and people are free to take and eat it.
I plan to participate in the cooking contest with Kayu and Shinomi, and also sing a song to please the spirits in the evening.
It will be my first time to participate in a cooking contest, so I am nervous about whether I will be able to do well.
Kayu and Shinomi and I worked hard together to come up with the dishes. We were very careful not to show them the dishes until the show, but I wonder if the spirits will be pleased with them.
But I don't care if we don't win. It was fun for me just to be able to participate in a cooking competition like this. It's all fun, including practicing cooking with Kayu and Shinomi to participate in the cooking competition.
I've decided to participate in ......, but I wonder what will happen."
I'll be fine, Lan. I'll help you.
Thank you very much for ....... Thank you very much, Frederick. I'll do my best."
Incidentally, Mr. Lan will also be participating with Freder, a cat beastman.
I'm not a good cook, but since there is a cooking competition, I thought I'd participate.
Incidentally, many of the participants in the cooking competition this time are elves. This is because the elves, who have special feelings for the spirits, want to please them more than anyone else.
The judges of the cooking contest are the elves who do not participate in the cooking contest, including Sileva, and Dong.
Frene is supposed to tell everyone if the spirits are happy or not. Frene can also make sure they show up around.
I, too, can't wait to see what kind of food they serve."
The spirits are moving around her, looking forward to it. I couldn't help but smile just watching them.
Wetani-san was also there with Enalei, smiling peacefully.
Come to think of it, there are several people in this village who are pregnant. They said that by the end of this year, there will be another new life.
I am looking forward to that as well.
Enalei is still small, but I wonder what she will be like when she gets older. I think it is strange and amazing how little children grow up and become adults. ......
I've known her since she was born, so I'm even more excited to see how she will grow up.
Lelunda, let's get ready.
Lelunda, good luck with the cooking competition.
While I was thinking about Enalei, Kayu and Shinomi came to my side.
They were wearing white aprons because they were going to participate in the cooking competition. This apron was provided by Sadda's restaurant. It is a rule that all participants in the cooking competition must wear the same apron.
I also wore the apron given to me by Shinomi.
The place for cooking was a simple cooking area in the plaza that was set up for the competition. Each of us had prepared the ingredients by hunting or buying them ourselves in advance. There were seven groups participating in the cooking competition.
The children's group consisted of myself, Kayu, and Sinomi.
Lan's and Freder's group.
The other five groups are the elves. Some are participating alone, others in pairs.
Incidentally, Mr. Wetani is sitting in the judges' table.
Fito and his friends and Biller are also here because it is a festival, but they are watching us as spectators.
Fito told us that they were going to dance at night, and that people of other ethnic groups were also going to dance and sing, and dedicate their dances to the spirits.
Birah and the others don't do anything, but they are watching Doanea by my side.
At the cooking competition, we were supposed to cook in turn, and it would be a little while before we and Mr. Lan would be able to participate.
Lan-san is about to participate in the cooking competition, but he keeps writing something, "I have to document this festival! He was writing something all the time, and he was scolding me, "Lan, you should concentrate on the cooking contest .......
