Chapter 575: Winter Market or Medieval Fair?
Musdurn Town, Musdurn Mountain Valley, Bluecorn State.
The night had already fallen and with it, a good portion of the tourists who spent the day at the mountain skiing or snowboarding decided to enjoy what the town had to offer for night activities.
Theo and the others decided to park their cars in a covered parking lot to protect the cars against the snow. As the town wasn't that big, they decided to leave the car there and move through the town on foot.
Theo and the others left the parking lot in high spirits because the Winter Market of the town was located near the parking lot, so they didn't even have to walk for long before they arrived at the first place they wanted to visit.
A Winter Market was a place that was a common sight among small towns in the Sakura Abode Country. The citizens used the Winter Market to gather extra income during the Winter Season from tourists. After countless years of this practice, it already become a tradition and a famous point about the small towns of the Sakureans.
The market was decorated with all kinds of beautiful yellow and red lanterns that the place a stunning look. The stalls sold all kinds of food and other products typical for the Winter Season.
The Market was already somewhat crowded with tourists, but that wasn't a problem for their group as they entered the market without problems.
Their first stop was a stall that sold Takoyaki. The last time they ate was at lunchtime and after an afternoon of putting effort into their skiing or snowboarding practice, they were famished.
They soon received the Takoyakis from the old man who prepared them, they paid for the meal and thanked him with a smile.
"Wow! It's so hot that I can see the steam coming out from it." Aurora exclaimed in wonder.
"Nothing better than a steaming Takoyaki to warm up my belly." Max said as he picked up one to eat.
Just like that, they gathered together to eat their takoyaki near one of the many fireplaces scattered around the market.
"We look so weird gathered to eat takoyaki as if we hadn't eaten for ages." Theo commented with a loud laugh as he picked up another takoyaki.
It was only then that they noticed that, but they didn't care much how others saw them.
"Nothing we can do about it."
"Yeah, I'm so hungry."
"Hey, I was saving that one to eat later!"

"Thanks, babe!" Ayia exclaimed with a sweet smile, "I love it!"
Just like that, the couple had a lovely moment just the two of them.
The two of them were so beautiful that they attracted the attention of the passersby, 'What a beautiful couple!' They all had the same thought when they looked at Theo and Ayia together.
A while later, Sam found a place that was selling warm wine. When the others heard of it, they
all gathered at the place to get a sip of the warm wine.
Warm wine was one best things to drink to warm up their bodies!
Soon after, they were all holding a wooden cup filled with warm wine. The wine was so warm
that formed steam as it made contact with the cold weather.
"Ahhh! I feel so warm already." Max exclaimed as he took a sip of his wine.
"Ew! Don't say things like that." Shoko said.
The others laughed out loud when they heard the banter.
They all had satisfied smiles as they sipped on the warm wine.
Aurora, Vivian, Umaru, and Carolla also were drinking the wine as Theo didn't deny them. Just
one cup wasn't that big of a deal.
They were enjoying their warm wine when they suddenly saw a presentation was about to start at the stage located at the center of the market.
They didn't waste time before buying another cup of warm wine and heading toward the
stage to watch the play.
The play was funny and made them laugh so much as they sipped their warm wine.
As they watched the play while sipping the warm wine, they had the time of their lives.
At that moment, they felt like they were amidst a medieval fair drinking their warm drinks and watching a play from itinerant artists.
