"Awesome guy"

The villages that celebrated the previous festival are overflowing with people.

People gradually started growing about a week ago and today they are really amazing people.

Mr. Druid told me that if I was overwhelmed by the number of people, there would be more to come.

Even though there are still quite a few people, I got a little scared when they told me there would be more.

"This is the first time I've seen so many people come together. Oh, excuse me."

I'm walking down the boulevard now, but everywhere is probably full of people.

If you're not careful, you'll bump into people.

Or it's more ridiculous not to bump into it.

Looking around, there's a long line of snakes in the stall and in the store, and it's going to take a while to get in.

"This festival will bump colored powdered dough in this state, so it's amazing."

Yes, it was.

The most eye-catching part of this festival is the bumping of dough made of colored powder that takes place at this festival.

Look around.

People are hissing at each other.

How can we bump into each other with this?

"Don't get out of it, can I hold your hand?

"Yeah."

You're kind of ashamed of your gripping hands.

"Mr. Druid, can we bump into each other in this state?

I knew I was too close to people no matter how I looked at them, so I feel compelled to bump into each other.

"Even if we bump into each other, we have a decision to make from within reach, and with a few gaps, we can do it."

I can do it.

You're a little unimaginable to me now.

The festival has three days.

On the first and second of these days, we make a collision of colored powdered dough.

This is an important prayer event you do to pay off your troubles.

On the third day, he ends by dyeing his clothes dirty with colour powder and wearing those clothes to pray for disease-free breathing disaster.

If you worry that your clothes will stain so easily, you say that this village has a dye dedicated to it.

Put the dye in the water and add the dirty clothes for an hour.

They say you should wash and dry the rest normally.

It was so easy, I was surprised when I heard it.

It's very strange why that happens, because I don't know.

It seems that mixing the nuts that Hathahi Village has long managed with the dye makes it easy for the clothes to stop staining and falling off.

When the previous festival begins, there is something to be done.

One of them is to buy clothes to wear on this festival day.

For that reason, a little overwhelmed by the number of people, I also came out of the inn to get clothes.

White clothes are sold in every store this time of year.

As far as I was concerned, I wanted to buy it at a store close to the inn, but when Mr. Druid had a recommended store, I decided to move down the main street.

"It's the store I asked my master about. It seems to be a more solid piece of clothing than other stores, so you can wear it after the festival, right?

"Yeah, you are."

I saw the clothes for sale at a store near the inn, but the sewing was rough.

The fabric was also thin and I figured I wouldn't be able to wear it that many times.

Looks like Mr. Druid saw that too and decided to go to the store he asked his master about.

"There was."

Mr. Druid has one store ahead of him.

"The launderer?

"Oh, they seem to be sturdy with the clothes they sell here. There's a line here, too."

Line up at the end of a row stretched from the store.

I was able to get inside the store with Mr. Druid without having to wait so long to see if it spins fast.

"That's amazing in there"

People are turning back in the store.

"Right."

As people move, go to the shelf where the clothes are.

Reach for the clothes in front of you and look at the fabric.

It's certainly a solid fabric, and the sewing is cleaned.

It's completely different from the stuff from the store earlier.

"Is the size okay?

When I look at Mr. Druid, he already has a shirt in his pants in his hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry, uh. This and this."

Take your pants and shirt from the shelf that fit your size.

"I don't care if it's a piece."

Following Mr. Druid's gaze, there's a bright white piece.

I have a very simple impression because of the lack of decoration.

I try to imagine myself wearing it, but I'm a little embarrassed.

"Trousers are fine."

"Really? I'd like to see your skirt."

Really?

You didn't know.

Skirt or indeed cute.

But adventurous doesn't give me that much of a chance to wear it.

Plus now that I'm growing up, my body changes shape quickly.

When that happens, you'll only really be able to wear it a few times.

I can't help it.

Yeah, I don't want it.

"Trousers are easier to move, so this one's better"

"Sure, pants would be nice while you're traveling, but in a village or town, you could do it in style, right? Yeah, let's go buy some summer clothes after the festival. Let's see if there's a skirt you'll like then."

"What?"

Summer clothes?

Skirt?

"I'll pay you, just wait in front of the store"

"Ah, yes."

Mr. Druid is going to take the clothes I have and pay for them.

As I was told, leave the store to wait for Mr. Druid in an uninterrupted place while putting people away.

Are you really going to buy a skirt this summer?

I'm embarrassed, but I'm happy with the fashion.

No, but being in a village or town is a lot shorter than the journey.

I haven't been in the same village for a month like this one.

I don't have a skirt or anything just for such a short time.

... but do you want some?

"What's up?

"What? Did you already pay?

"Oh, that's right, I just deal with this many people every year, and it was quick"

See the store that came out earlier.

Outside the store, longer rows have been made earlier and continue to grow.

People are overflowing in the store, and people who are accounting seem busy.

But when I look at it, the guy who headed for accounting finishes right off and comes out of the store.

That's how you get used to it.

"Shall we?"

Mr. Druid offers his hand at me.

When you squeeze that hand, you walk towards the inn.

"If I could buy clothes sooner, I wouldn't be so crowded."

"Sure, I guess I should sell it earlier, because it only sells from the previous festival. This is a tradition, too. It would be nice to enjoy the atmosphere."

"Heh heh. Oh, you get a dye to dye your clothes, right?

"Oh, there's a place of prayer on the way back to the inn, so you should be handing it out there. Let's have a prayer on the way home."

During the previous festival, there is one more thing to do besides buy clothes.

That's what dyes your clothes.

This is a place of prayer in this village of Hathahi, where you can ask for prayers.

At that time, color is determined by one's luck without being able to choose it.

I thought it sounded interesting when I heard you talk, but now I'm anxious to see what I can do if I hit some awesome fancy colors.

I pray for disease-free breathing, so I don't have to wear it once, no matter what color it is.

Plus I bought some solid fabric clothes so I would wear them repeatedly.

Is that it?

Should I have bought some thinner fabric clothes?

"Sounds like over there, but you're in a great line"

At the end of Mr. Druid's gaze, a row stretched so long that I wonder if there are more than 100 people.

They're all here to pray to get dye.

"Waiting isn't going to make us less people, and we're going to line up."

"Yeah."

Line up at the rear.

Soon I could see people lined up behind me.

I was prepared to wait, but the order came sooner than I thought because it was about a minute to pray.

kneel and pray where instructed.

"Thank you. Now choose one from here"

A person dressed in white offers a basket in front of him.

There was a lot of dye wrapped in tree leaves.

Apparently they choose one from here.

"You don't know the color from looking at it."

"Right. I just have to trust my instincts."

Take one from the cage at the same time as Mr. Druid, a leaf wrap.

Praying that it is a good color.

"Well, I'm done with my plans for the previous festival today, and should I go home"

"Yeah. I'm tired"

"Good luck to the inn!
