NOVEL NEXT Chapter 52: The Harvest Festival (2)
After cheering, the residents flocked to the registration booths for the various competitions.
Whether it was men or women, even families with children could find a competition suitable for them to participate in.
"Is there anything you want to play?" Alan turned to ask the elf girl beside him.
Orina looked at the stalls around her, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she began to think with a troubled expression.
"Do you all want to play all of them? Or do you all not want to play at all?"
Seeing Orina's conflicted look, Alan asked.
"Every game looks so interesting..."
Since she did not know where to start, she would let Alan, the organizer, make the arrangements.
"Don't be conflicted. Follow me."
After saying that, Alan naturally held onto the delicate hand that was by his side.
The moment he took Orina's hand, her mind went blank. This time, not just her pointy ears, her entire face turned red.
Alan did not think too much about it. It was just that there were many people on the street now, so it was not easy for them to get separated.
If he turned around to look, he would be able to see Orina's blushing face.
According to the dates he had been on at the carnival in his previous life, they would usually play a few games first to get their mood up and then go for snacks. Finally, they would go browse a few stalls and watch a brilliant firework show at night. That was his perfect date plan.
Unfortunately, this foreign world did not have fireworks yet, and Alan could not even make gunpowder, let alone something as difficult as fireworks.
Although it was somewhat regretful, the ball at night was still worth looking forward to.
As for the date between the two young people, the acquaintances they met along the way were very discerning and didn't rashly come forward to disturb them.
The competition participants were all sorts of people, with all sorts of motives.
The regulars of the small tavern were all full of energy, all wanting to get first place, all wanting Alan's reward. A few smart people, after knowing the reward, guessed that Alan was likely coming out with a new drink.
The chance to taste new drinks for free within a year was the best gift for the first batch of loyal customers.
Among these customers, many brought their wives to participate in the family group competition, some brought their girlfriends to participate in the women's group competition. Of the daytime competitions, the most intense competition was in the men's group competition.
To participate in the triathlon, you had to have a partner. The two-person three-legged obstacle race required two people to participate, and only the winner of all three events was the final victor.
Mister Dorje and the other three divided their teams the day before. Mister Wayne, who was the odd man out, had no choice but to team up with Abraham.
"Abraham, why don't you try it on? What if we can...win?"
In an empty alleyway by the registration booths, Wayne forced Abraham into a corner. He was holding an old woman's dress in his hand. When he said this, he didn't have much confidence.
"Your lord is a man!" Abraham growled in a low voice.
"Give it a try. If we win, we'll get double the rewards. Think about it. For an entire year, a free chance to taste new drinks in the tavern!"
Wayne's voice was like the whisper of a demon, constantly bewitching the simple-minded man in front of him.
An entire year of free wine tasting opportunities...Abraham's heart was torn. On one side, he was tempted by the rewards, on the other side, he struggled with his pride.
Wayne looked at the man in the corner who looked like he could be a male or a female. The expression on his face gradually wavered so he quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Think about it. If we win the cooking competition and the Ironman Triathlon competition, then work together and win the drinking competition at night, that would be three rewards!"
"With the strength of the two of us, I believe that no one can stop us."
The air was heavy. After a moment of silence.
"I'm in! I'll change!"
Abraham gritted his teeth and solemnly agreed to this brainless suggestion.
Wayne saw that the most important actor in his plan was already in place. He immediately put on a fawning face, handed over the dress in his hand, and retreated to the alley entrance, guarding it tightly to prevent anyone from getting close.
Abraham looked at the dress in his hand while desperately trying to convince himself. Before changing into the dress, he silently took out his diary.
Hailar calendar: the fourth day after invading the human world
Today, I will put down my dignity and blend in with the enemy.
I am bound to win the final victory today. This competition will be the turning point of my human world investigation!
I am the most cautious Evil Lord of the Abyss!
My Demon King, please watch over me and let me win, let me get an entire year of free wine tasting opportunities
After checking it, he placed the diary back into his pocket and changed out of the cloak and coat he had worn for 100 years.
"Cough..."
It wasn't until a light cough came from behind him that Wayne turned around and stared straight ahead.
The person in front of him had a face that struck his heart. His pale and sickly skin color, his dapper looks, his tempting eyes, and his tall figure made him look slender and sturdy at the same time.
Even though he was wearing an old dress, it still could not hide his beauty and charm.
Abraham changed into a woman's outfit and stood awkwardly in the alley. After waiting for a long time, Wayne, who was opposite him, still did not make a sound.
He frowned and asked impatiently in a deep voice, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take your lord to win the competition."
Once he yelled, Wayne came back to his senses.
"Later, speak a little more gently. Don't yell, be careful not to expose yourself."
Wayne's tanned face was slightly red. He was ashamed at how amazed he felt at his looks earlier, but now he also felt a little embarrassed.
Abraham's expression froze. He nodded and walked towards the square.
Just as Wayne and Abraham were conspiring to enter the cooking competition disguised as a woman, the little black cat in the blacksmith's shop, which had tormented itself until it was dizzy, woke up from the noise outside.
It gradually woke up and looked at its surroundings.
It sniffed the air. This was the place where the Evil Lord once stayed, the smell was quite strong.
It stood up and shook its head. Suddenly, it saw that its body shrunk by more than a hundred times.
It did not know why, but it was terrified. The noise of the people outside the blacksmith shop also made it anxious.
The little black cat no longer hesitated. It quickly climbed up the wall. The crowd on the street made its pupils shrink. It changed its direction and moved towards the side with the least number of people and quickly fled from the main street.
During Harvest Festival, there were many people on the main street.
It ran against the crowd and bared its teeth at every human who came in its way. It ran like it was running for its life to the back street. There were finally fewer humans here...
The little black cat continued to walk along the wall. In its heart, it silently missed the gray sky of the abyss.
"How did I become so small? The Demon King was right. Humans are indeed very cruel. I will not back down before the Evil Lord is found. I want to prove to the Demon King that I am his most powerful pet!"
"Hahaha..."
The little black cat laughed out loud. However, in the ears of humans, it was just a little black cat meowing.
However, this black cat was a little fierce. It would bare its teeth at anyone who approached it.
As it walked, it suddenly smelled a tempting fragrance mixed with the scent of the Evil Lord.
After avoiding the cruel humans, it finally carefully arrived at the backyard of the tavern. The fragrance outside the courtyard wall was even more intense.
After checking around to make sure that there was no one around, it used its hind legs to leap onto the wall and sneaked into the backyard of the tavern.
