(EP-219.2)# 2

219 – Great Escape #2

━The shaved ice is delicious. There are more food options this year than last year.

━Let’s check out that shop over there.

The streets of Ark were lined with stalls and tents that I had never seen before. The crowd was bustling, with the atmosphere being filled with sweat and laughter of people.

It was a festival.

Now that I thought about it, it was about time for the summer festival. I felt a bit disappointed that I slept through the preparations, and the festival already started.

I heard the opening ceremony was spectacular.

But I missed it because I was asleep.

Still, where was everyone?

I was looking for Elga and Aira, but I couldn’t figure out where they were or what they were doing. In particular, I would like to see how Aira was after waking up from the dream.

However, with the vastness of Ark, it wasn’t easy to find familiar faces in the midst of a crowded festival.

Then I spotted Marmar.

“Ah-! Comrade-! Nice to see you-!”

Well, she spotted me first and waved me over. Marmar was selling something in a small cart full of balloons.

“Is this shaved ice?”

“We got a lot of ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ ice recently! We grind it up, then top it with homegrown raspberry and wild grape syrup... tadaah─.”

Seuk-.

Marmar handed me a cup of shaved ice. Now that I looked at it, the food felt more like a slushie than shaved ice. It would be easier to carry around in one hand.

“We ran out of wild grape syrup, Tartar, go make some more-!”

“Ahht-! Purpur, before that, Gargar has been nibbling on the ice again-! At this rate, we won’t have any ice left to sell-!”

“Hihi-! Garr, Garr-!”

Watching the lively imps, the festival atmosphere was truly in the air.

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask about like how it was going with the nymphs, but she looked very busy with all the customers so I waved goodbye for now.

“See you later, Marmar.”

“Yeah! Off to meet the fearsome queen now?”

“That’s the plan. Do you happen to know where she might be?”

“Hmm, I think there was a signing event in the park over there.”

“Signing event?”

One of my eyebrows twitched and rose at the odd mention that seemed both fitting and out of place for Aira.

Aira was certainly famous enough to deserve such an event, but she wasn’t exactly known for being that friendly.

“And here’s a ballot for the shop customers! Comrade can write the name of the person you want here.”

Marmar handed me a small note.

I wanted to ask what it was, but I didn’t get the chance.

“See you later! I’m busy right now, I have no time! There’s something important I need to tell comrade, so make sure to find time for it!”

“Okay.”

I was curious about what important thing Marmar had to say, but her figure was soon swallowed up by the crowd.

━Take my money-! And give me shaved ice and the Marumaru doll-!

“It must be a lucky charm... So where did the Queen go?” _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
