Alex was resting after being busy with all sorts of missions and stuff, taking a break from everything.

  But he was disturbed by the voices of everyone who seemed excited for some reason. So, he stood up from his bed and decided to check up on them.

  Joining the others downstairs, Alex saw that everyone was in a very festive mood.

  'Ah, yeah, I almost fet about the festival. What is it called?... Fet it, I ot remember anyway.'

  Everyone else was still dressed fine except for Yami who for some weird unknown reason was draped in a simple robe over a traditional Japanese undergarment for males, and a twisted Japanese headband tied in the front. He was also carrying an uchiwa. The fan and the back of the robe bear the kanji that read 'Festival', and the linings of his robe bear the kanji fing bull'.

  It looked so weird and out of pce for some reason.

  And if the outfit was not enough, Yami's mood was also a little out of pce, seeming very positive.

  Alex's facial muscles twitched untrolbly and he sighed while face-palming himself.

  "ASTA!!"

  Just wheepped into the living room, everyone called out to him excitedly.

  "What?" Alex raised his eyebrow and asked.

  "You excited for your first festival?" Vanessa asked.

  Alex smiled at her. "My first festival? You do know that I've been to the festival befht?"

  "Yeah, but not as a magiight." Magna patted his shoulder and said.

  Well, Alex couldn't retort about that sihe guy was right about that.

  They chatted a little and waited until everyone was ready before Finral finally opened up a portal to the festival location.

  "Let's go!!" Yami excimed charging ahead...

  It was the evening, and the sun was beginning to set. All of the Bck Bull members finally arrived at the festival.

  They saw many things; people singing, and dang, fish in colored water, masks, etc.

  The st time Alex had ever been to somethiively like this was when he was a kid, ba Earth.

  Taking a look around, reminded him of when he was a kid, the time when his mother was alive and he was just an ignorant kid living happily.

  His eyes fshed with a rare warmth, a smile trag his lips before it disappeared, and his eyes hid a deep pain in them.

  The feeling only sted for a few seds before he returned back to normal, looking at the festival.

  "Alright, you party animals!" Yami yelled drawing their attention. "The rank annou starts at 8, so go wild until then!!"

  "YES SIR!!" Everyone saluted before running off.

  Vanessa and Charmy disappeared into the crowd, running towards the stalls with wine and food.

  Alex grabbed Noelle's hand and pulled her along.

  Noelle was startled by his a, raising her head to look at him, asking for an answer but he just smiled and brought her along.

  They didn't have to go too far and saw two familiar faces standing in the crowd beside Finral.

  "Kahono! Kiato!" Noelle yelled once she saw them. She instantly broke free from his hands and leaped into a hug with Kahono who was also overjoyed to meet Noelle.

  Alex walked over and patted Finral's shoulder, smiling. "Thank you, Finral-senpai."

  "Haha, it's just a small favor. Don't mind it!... Now, I'm going to look for some cute girls. Yahoo~..." Finral gave him a thumb-up and instantly disappeared into the crowd, searg for some girls to flirt with.

  "So this is what a festival on nd looks like. Thanks for inviting us, Asta!" Kiaoto smiled while Kahono nodded furiously, looking around everything with curious eyes.

  "Haha, it's no big deal~" Alex smiled at them.

  "Asta?"

  While he was chatting with Kiaoto, Kahono walked over and called out, her expression was a little weird, different from her usual cheerful and happy attitude.

  "I'm sorry for the st time. I was a little rude to you..." Kahono bowed and apologized.

  Alex tilted his head in fusion before he remembered. "Ah, that... Hehe... no need for this. I already fet about that."

  "This guy here didn't take such things to heart at all." Noelle giggled and patted Kahono's shoulder, cheering her.

  Alex also ughed. "Yeah, she is right. And also I didn't expiuation to you clearly so your behavior was pletely justified, okay?"

  "What do you mean?" Kaito asked curiously. he had learhe crux of the situation from his sister so hearing that there was more than what's meet the eye from Alex, he asked quickly.

  Alex smiled and expined. "Do you guys remember that third eye on that Vetto's guy head? It was actually a Forbidden magic. But the problem is that magihahe ive emotions of the user iurn for the boost in their power. It will purposely increase the hate and anger in their heart... So, when I kill that guy, I want to put him out of his misery since he will be tormented by those ive emotions for who knows how long..."

  "Ahh, I don't know that... It seems you did a good job then." Kahono covered her mouth in shock since she never realized that magic had such sequences.

  "La~..."

  While they were chatting, their versation was interrupted by a melodious voice.

  The group of teenagers looked to the side and saw a woman singing while pying a lute and riding a magic carpet.

  Kahono's eyes sparkled when she saw her.

  Alex patted her shoulder and urged her. "Hehe... don't you want to sing in front of a crowd? Go on, now you have a ce to show your beautiful voice."

  Kaho a warmth welling up in her heart and she smiled at him, blushing lightly.

  She then turowards the people enjoying the festival and took a deep breath before a melodious and soul-soothing voice inated from her throat.

  Kahono sang a euphonious tutrag everyone's attention towards herself, enjoying singing in front of so many people.

  "Wonderful!"

  "What a beautiful voice!"

  "What amazing singing!"

  Multiple voices of praise rang out, plimenting the young woman from the Uer Temple for her unique and charming voice.

  The four of them were enjoying the festival when Kahono had a weird idea and she proposed a double date to the group.

  For some reason, Kiato was in favor of it.

  Alex stared at the young man and sighed, shaking his head.

  'I am sorry, man. But you are te... This tle girl belongs to me. Hehe~..."
