Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
As I hid st the crowds of people, I could see everyone around us celebrating joyously and consu affected by this festive atmosphere, and this imperceptibly raised my spirits
I had already sent Aivla off It was rare for reat mood, and I definitely did not intend to waste els were all of the ridiculously stubborn-type, anyways, and it was i at theLaw for a few months
I soon arrived at the Wood District, the ht now, various stalls decorated the roadside, selling snacks, accessories and even war memorabilia
Yet just as I entered this business district, a cute, blonde-haired little girl appeared beside ed towards the stalls, in search of new snacks to taste
Her long, blonde hair alrier and hungrier, had some barbequedwith a chicken leg hanging from her reasy little rag, her red little face soiled with stains
Ever since Harloys had reobtained her ability to eat and her sensation of taste, she seea-foodie Luckily,the flavor of the snacks Although she didn’t stop her ; it was fortunate that the silly cat that always clai fatter
"Huet fat After all, I can just give the fat to my Greed bodies; they’ll just becoical beauty whose age is in the single digits… Ah! Roland! Look over there! What is that?!&8221;
As Harloys said so that would make just about any woman feel jealous, she hopped up and down and pointed down the street The slowly progressing float parade [1] 1 see its first cycle around the city
Float parades were a tradition in all human countries The rich countries of the central plains would decorate their floats with fresh flowers, gold, beautiful women and artwork But the floats of the Northlands didn’t have flowers or anything like that
We were, however, the lands with the highest level of ice sculpting techniques Legends, epics, heroes, and even real-life people could transform into miraculous works of ice and snow With the addition of sohts, the colorless sculptures of ice would metamorphose into vivid works of art thanks to the refraction of light The characters would appear to come alive
Of course, this alone would seem too simple Each float would have their own unique specialties and functions
For exaest bakery chain in the city, The Asa Bakery, sculpted various desserts, which see to the viewers They were even people throwing around discount vouchers as a way of advertising their bakery to the masses
"Sweets! Confectioneries! Banana boats! Strawberry sundaes! Orange custard! Sugar bread rolls…&8221;
Alright, I could only smile wryly as I watched the Banshee Queen steal as many vouchers as she could It seemed that my home would soon be littered with innue Coe that appeared to coht out of a fairy tale, and it was pulled by a majestic stallion, decorated as a rat Yet the outer shell of the carved pu with its decorations were far e As it crawled forward steadily, the gigantic pue didn’t shake even a bit, a testa craftsmanship it was made with
The Golden Peak Tailor Shop’s float had become a platfor However, I felt only pity for those poor girls; they had to freeze in this manner, their faces pale in this cold, wintry weather They orking hard at showing how little they earing
Even if it was the new year, this place would remain cold and silent in the past But with the revival of the East Mist, more and more people chose to return to the city, and many major merchants had invested in this place The three exainally fro this celebration as an opportunity to advertise their businesses
Even the recently foro of the excellent opportunity On their float, Momo showed off their new uniform as she cracked her whip loudly in the air The snow sculpture that represented a criminal hipped; snow and ice shards flew everywhere It did appear rater painful… but ith those strange people following that float around?
With such a large number of floats, there would, of course, be soe For example, the ones froy, or froy to spare…
"One, two, three! If you want to learn bulldozing, co School!&8221;
On top of a large gno off their newest product—the "Safety-brand&8221; bulldozer
Booht, it was probably more of a "Safety-brand&8221; explosive Both the audience and the gno The gnootten burnt to find a priest Meanwhile, the other gnoed, showing off their excellent technical skills right on the spot
It was then that fro nome’s float That bulldozer mechanic fro off different tricks, his driving skills, and the excellent horsepower of theafter learning how to drive a bulldozer?
"One, two, three! If you want to learn ineering School!&8221;
Alright, that was even met with some scattered applause from the audience To them, this was much more enjoyable to watch than the other perfornomes didn’t have personalities that viewed explosions as daily occurrences and, more importantly, the survivability of a cockroach, they wouldn’t have been able to reach such heights in the real In that case, for their persistence and shaht as well notify Town Security later than I nore of the "Safety brand&8221; At the very least, their spirit of "never giving up&8221; was so worthy of appreciation
"You’re so reckless; watching theiving a perfor a mecha made from the combination of five smaller mechas, taller than even the city walls By now, so many explosions have occurred that they only have a bulldozer reht hand You still dare to watch thee?&8221;
Boo fire behind me constituted the best evidence of that kind-hearted person’s words Everyone instantly backed up, leaving a wide swath of space around the gnoain Despite the fact that the majority of the parts had been rendered into useless pieces of scrap ive up They worked with their tools and grease, and a gnoether in front of us
The gnoot back on his feet and immediately used the loud saw to chop off a piece of wood And, once again, I heard that fano! Co School!&8221;
"…Froe combination mecha to a bulldozer, then to a motorcycle and finally a saw It’s like a dissection; froer, and finally a fingernail… Let that poor saw be! It’s the only re survivor in its entire faht, for the sake of that pitiful survivor, I immediately requested assistance
"Hey—hey—hey! Elisa, help me contact Town Security! Tell the a float…&8221;
