After the event began, the inside of the venue was enveloped in a strange heat.

The crowd that began to swarm began to disperse in all directions and head towards the booths they wanted.

Although he wasn’t running, his quick steps made it look like he was running.

The once quiet interior is filled with the chatter of people.

At the same time, songs from various animations were played simultaneously from all directions.

I walked with difficulty, holding Amy’s hand tightly.

If I let go of this hand, I felt like I would get hit by people’s bodies and be swept away far away.

I stood in the middle of the street and looked at the expressions of the people around me.

It’s full of energy.

Everyone was doing what they loved, and there was a smile on their face.

“Amy, this way!”

I urged Amy on and ran towards the booth for [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure].

Before the event begins, things that were not visible before begin to come into view.

A model of stars swaying as if falling from the sky and a floor sparkling with rainbow colors.

The sweet scent of candy wafted over me, enticing me.

I first went to the place that sold official goods.

It was a place you could see right away if you followed the long line of people.

Is it because it is a popular animation?

It was written that most of the items were sold out.

I shook the magic bag in my hand slightly.

If Amy hadn’t set one aside for me, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to get Lucy’s witch costume set.

“Jeff.”

“Huh?”

“Over there. Go stand over there.”

I turned my head at Shine’s words.

There was a small photo zone set up there, and at her feet was a drawing of a magic circle that appeared whenever Lucy used magic.

I ran towards it with my eyes shining.

There were many people using the photo zone.

I waited for others to finish filming, and as soon as an empty seat opened up, I ran over to it and climbed on.

And then take a stance.

I’m talking about the cool magic poses I practiced from TV and YouTube videos.

Extend your hands forward and look straight ahead.

Legs spread shoulder-width apart and the corners of the mouth slightly turned up.

Fire at your virtual enemy with your eyes shining!

As I stood there feeling that way, Shine started taking random pictures of me with her cell phone.

“Are you taking good pictures?”

“Yeah.”

I changed my posture once again at Shine’s answer.

Spread one hand strongly out to the side.

Then the cloak hanging behind his back flutters greatly.

Boost your abilities for some effect.

Static electricity occurs, hair stands on end, and cloaks and robes billow.

Shine continued filming without missing the moment.

Here, I can freely use the shooting techniques I learned from Appleton.

What should I do this time?

I lightly stepped on the magic circle drawing.

Thump- thump- The small feet shake rhythmically, creating small disturbances.

The blue light slowly spreads out, forming a circle.

Control of delicate abilities.

I concentrated my mind.

The results of the training I’ve been doing with Victor are revealed.

I called upon the stars of my imagination.

A blue star.

That thing that sparkles beautifully.

I wish everyone would look at my star.

Lucy uses beautiful magic at the very last moment.

To heal wounded and worn-out hearts, to clean up the messy surroundings.

As you slowly rotate in place, your body rises slightly.

The moment I float into the air, I raise my hand without missing the gap.

Starlight is born.

Not the wild, moving lightning, but the pure blue starlight.

It was only for a very brief moment, but something strange happened with the bracelet I was wearing.

A buzzing noise – a very small noise heard in the ear.

At the same time, the very thin energy surrounding my body disappeared.

All eyes are on you.

People look at me.

Burdensome gazes.

But I smiled confidently instead.

Everyone was looking at me.

I wanted to brag.

These are the clothes Amy gave me.

Do I suit you well?

That was the moment.

My body is drawn to the white light that runs towards me.

The surrounding scenery passes by in an instant.

But I didn’t reject that move.

It was a familiar feeling, being in Amy’s arms.

Amy, who was looking down at me with an urgent expression, took off the bracelet on my arm and put a new one on me.

I blinked and looked up at her.

She had run so fast that the ground where she had been standing was turned upside down as if a bomb had exploded.

“How was I?”

When I asked Amy, she answered with a small smile.

“It was really pretty.”

It wasn’t the compliment I was looking for, but if Amy gave it to me, I was happy with it.

I smiled slightly and rested my head on her chest.

People around the photo zone seemed to be in a bit of confusion.

I approached Shine as I watched them talking about whether or not the scene they had seen earlier was a hallucination.

“Did it turn out well?”

Instead of answering, Shine showed a picture she had taken.

After staring at the photo for a while, Shine whispered in my ear.

‘Later. When Amy isn’t around. Put that on. And…’

The voice was too small.

Shine’s last words were buried in the singing heard around her.

As I looked back at her, fiddling with my ear, Shine smiled and moved away slightly.

“Okay. Should we go somewhere else?”

Shine shut her mouth as she looked at Amy standing behind her.

I reached out to Shine, still holding Amy’s hand.

She took my hand.

Amy’s other empty hand was taken by Lane.

She was wearing a rabbit ear headband that she had found somewhere, and her ears swung back and forth as she walked.

“Where did you get that?”

“Who gave it to you!”

I looked at Rain with a strange gaze.

Somehow, it was the moment when the reason why she couldn’t be seen near the photo zone was revealed.

Surely you weren’t following someone just to get a bunny ears headband?

Did you go and have something weird happen to you?

I approached Lane with a worried expression.

She looked at me with an expression that said she had no idea what was going on.

“Hey. Rain. Didn’t you follow someone who gave you a rabbit ear headband?”

“No? I followed you because I wanted to eat cotton candy, but I got this instead?”

I kept my mouth shut at her words.

Rain wiggled his rabbit ears as if to ask what was wrong.

The twitching rabbit ears gently tapped my cheek.

“Jeff, if someone offered to give Lucy the magic wand, would you follow them?”

“Oh, no!”

Rain gave a small smile at my answer and ran forward.

The chick that had turned into a rabbit seemed to be enjoying the event in its own way.

After leaving the photo zone, we stopped in front of a stall where a small game was in progress.

Throwing darts. Shooting. Throwing water balloons.

I checked the hanging items and my eyes lit up.

The first prize was a life-size Lucy poster and a Lucy SD doll.

“Amy! Amy! I want to do that!”

The entry fee for the game was quite expensive, so I couldn’t participate with the amount of money I had.

I had no choice but to grab Amy’s hand and drag her to the front of the dart game room.

“Do you want to do this?”

“Yes!”

Amy granted my request.

I thought, holding the dart held out in front of me.

Absolutely, unconditionally, I will be number one.

We stood side by side, Na, Shine, Amy Lane, our eyes shining, holding darts in our hands.

It started with rain.

She simultaneously scattered the darts she was holding in her hand.

The darts, which I thought would fly anywhere, drew a circle and made a clicking sound, earning me full marks.

“Yay!”

Rain wiggled his rabbit ears in delight.

Next was Amy.

She, like Lane, threw all her darts in one go.

It flew into the human-shaped target and stuck in the vital spot regardless of the score.

The people around us cheered as they saw us hitting the target.

This time it was Shine’s turn.

Shine, who was fiddling with the dart in his hand, waved his hand lightly.

Shhh – The dart flies and lands right in the center.

And she waved her hand again.

Shh-

The dart flies once again.

A dart that flies away lands on top of the dart that was already there.

Shh- shh- shh-

Knock knock knock-

As he repeated this action, Shine’s darts became long and stretched out like tails.

Shine was left with only one last dart left, but because the tail of the dart was hanging down, he had no choice but to throw it somewhere else.

widely-

All darts landed in the perfect spot.

This time it was my turn.

Couldn’t help it.

I rarely felt competitive.

Full marks were so obvious.

I learned from none other than Victor.

Training in throwing darts was essential to using the ability to use the iron bar.

I decided to aim for the chest.

I was aiming at the human-shaped target, then I held my breath and moved my hand.

Blue electricity surges between the darts held in one hand.

“Hey!”

A dart thrown with a small shout takes shape in the air.

The darts that were scattered in the shape of hearts flew where I wanted and struck my heart, drawing a heart shape.

Tata-tata-tak-!

“Wow!”

After throwing all the darts, we waited for the prize.

The owner of the dart room laughed hysterically as he watched the darts we threw.

He scratched his shiny bald head, added up the scores, and took out the corresponding prizes.

Rain was the top prize.

Amy didn’t care about the score, so she took the fourth place prize, a keychain.

Shine was also in first place.

I am…

“in…”

I, who was very excited, held the second prize in my arms and raised a question mark above my head.

Why? I got them all right? And all in one place.

The second prize was a large dinosaur doll.

I was happy because I wanted this doll, but I was also surprised that it didn’t win first place.

I looked closely at the target to find out why.

The chest area was written as 9 points.

Head gets 10 points.

Chest is 9 points.

It’s because I didn’t care about the score because I thought I had to throw it coolly.

It was my mistake.

I bit the dinosaur’s head with a sad face.

Ang ang – the fluffy dinosaur head twisted and turned in my mouth.

“Yes.”

Shine handed over the prize she had received to me, who was sad.

I took it with trembling hands.

“Are you really giving it to me?”

“Yeah. I don’t need it.”

“Oh, thank you!”

I smiled while hugging the doll Shine had given me.

I was so happy.

Then, Rain, who had been watching me, handed me the prize he had received.

Since she was also a first-place prize, the components were the same.

“Thank you!”

I immediately stuffed the items I received into my bag.

The large dinosaur’s belly was swollen, and a long, round tube containing a life-size poster protruded from its mouth.

“Hmm…”

Amy hung the keychain she had received on the zipper of my bag.

We had a great time wandering around the venue.

As the sun set and the surroundings grew dark, the mood of the song playing inside the venue began to change.

The calm song becomes cheerful, and the dark surroundings become bright.

The bright lights illuminated the surroundings as if it were broad daylight.

After wandering around for a while, we got hungry, so we bought some food from the nearby stalls and went up to a higher place.

Because the fireworks show time is approaching soon.

As I sat on my chair, munching on the corn in my hand, I noticed that the ceiling of the building was splitting left and right.

The large dome-shaped lid split open to reveal the high night sky.

A cool breeze blowing from all directions brushes my cheek.

The event hall, once filled with excitement, becomes quiet for a moment as a cool breeze blows down from the sky.

At that moment, countless fireworks shot up into the sky.

Pubberbubung!
