The moon set, the sun rose, and time quickly moved to the next day.
Hakoniwa East District, 2105380 Outer Gate.
As a Seven-Digit, an ordinary Outer Gate located at the edge of Hakoniwa City, it usually had few visitors.
But with the warm-up for the Toli Tunis Great Falls Harvest Festival, a large number of people had come to this Outer Gate, which was closest to the Tory Tunis Falls, in recent days.
Crowds of people jostled in the streets, the normally empty shops were packed, and noisy discussions erupted everywhere.
Just then, a translucent screen appeared in the sky without warning, drawing everyone's attention.
Under everyone's gaze, Black Rabbit, dressed in a host's costume and exuding a vibrant aura, appeared on the screen.
"Hello~ Good morning, everyone~!"
Black Rabbit waved her hand, greeting the crowd below.
"This is Black Rabbit, and I am honored to meet you all as the host of the Harvest Festival~!"
"Huh? It's a Hakoniwa noble! Did the organizers actually invite a Hakoniwa noble this time?!"
"Don't you know? Black Rabbit is one of the organizers this time."
"I didn't know. I just came to see Lady Algol's concert."
"Ah? What's a concert?"
"Quiet, quiet! Don't disturb me watching the rabbit!"
...
"To celebrate a year of hard work and harvest, the regional manager of the Tory Tunis Falls, [NoName], has decided to hold this Harvest Festival."
Because the projection screen appeared simultaneously in several Outer Gates and above the Tory Tunis Falls, Black Rabbit didn't yet know that people were already arguing over her.
Her ears twitching on her head, happy that the Harvest Festival could be held successfully, she was currently reciting the lines prepared in advance.
"For this Harvest Festival, the organizer [NoName] has prepared a total of five Gift Games for all the guests who have come from afar."
"They are [Harvest Festival Marketing], [Hunting Ground], [Trial of the Water God], [Flower on the Lake], and [Demon Star Concert]."
"The areas for the five Gift Games are located in the southeast, northwest, and center of the Tory Tunis Falls, and the specific coordinates will be announced later."
"As for the rewards, guests, please don't worry."
"The Communities whose total value of goods sold in [Harvest Festival Marketing] ranks in the top hundred will receive a Six-Digit Gift: [Flying Leggings]."
"The participants who hunt the most ferocious beasts in [Hunting Ground] in the top hundred will receive a Six-Digit Gift: [Invisible Helmet]."
"Those who successfully clear [Trial of the Water God] and [Flower on the Lake] will receive a small water tree sapling and an opportunity to change a river's course, respectively."
"As for the final grand finale, fans who can persevere until the very last moment of the [Demon Star Concert]! They will receive one opportunity for our Nameless leader, the Four-Digit powerhouse Lin Que, to make a move without violating his principles!"
"An opportunity for a Four-Digit powerhouse to make a move?!"
"Really?! The rewards are so generous?!"
"Holy cow! I just came to play around, but now it seems I have to make a move!"
"You're overthinking it. You obviously haven't heard Lady Algol's concert."
"From what you're saying, have you heard it?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be here!"
"That demonic voice, once you hear it, you will definitely lose yourself!"
...
"The specific rules are as above. We hope everyone can abide by the established rules and not try to clear it by cheating."
"If you are discovered, your participation qualification will be directly revoked and you will be penalized~"
On the screen, Black Rabbit, who had just finished narrating the rules, placed her hand in front of her rabbit ear, making a listening gesture.
Then, she leaned forward, raised a finger, waved it at the screen, and blinked.
"So... respecting the above content, based on honor and banners, the Toli Tunis Great Falls Harvest Festival officially begins!"
"May all guests who have come from afar have a pleasant time at this Harvest Festival~!"
As the last sentence fell, the screen in the sky instantly disappeared, leaving behind only exclamations and sighs.
In addition to marveling at the generous prizes of the Harvest Festival, they were also amazed by the uniqueness of this Hakoniwa noble.
This was the first time they had seen such a cute Moon Rabbit.
...
At the same time, within the Nameless Territory at the edge of the 2105380 Outer Gate.
"Yay! The opening ceremony was a great success!"
Black Rabbit, who had just been acting cute on the screen, happily bounced off the stage.
Listening to the cheers from afar, she grinned from ear to ear as if she had found money.
"This way, I don't have to worry about the Harvest Festival's effect not meeting expectations!"
"Yahahaha~ As expected of the famous Hakoniwa noble!"
Not far away, Vera and Jack, who had not left after dealing with Maxwell yesterday and had temporarily stayed at Lin Que's invitation, walked over.
Looking at the bouncing Black Rabbit, Jack praised, "It's amazing how you managed to stir up the atmosphere in such a short time."
Black Rabbit, rarely praised, scratched her head, her smile growing even wider: "Hehe~ I'm not as amazing as Mr. Jack says..."
Bang~!
Before she could finish, a dark shadow suddenly fell from above Black Rabbit's head, knocking her off balance.
"Huh?! What happened?!"
Picking up the hammer from the ground, Black Rabbit recognized it as the culprit that interrupted her speech, then looked around in confusion.
The next second, she noticed that Vera, standing beside Jack, was holding an identical hammer.
The moment her gaze fell upon it, the hammer in Vera's hand instantly vanished.
Bang~!
"Wait! What are you doing?!"
Black Rabbit, suffering another heavy blow, clutched her head, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Vera.
"This must be Miss Vera! It's our first time meeting today, so why are you suddenly attacking me?!"
"My apologies, my apologies."
Jack, reacting a beat too late, quickly grabbed Vera's shoulder and apologized, "Vera always likes to do this to people she meets for the first time, to observe their reactions."
"Ob...observe reactions?"
Black Rabbit couldn't help but retort, "That's going too far!"
"Because of this, my head has suffered two heavy blows, you know!"
"Exactly, exactly, that's really too much."
Under Leticia's service, Lin Que, who had just woken up, walked over leisurely from not far away.
He smiled as he watched Vera suddenly take a few steps back in a panic, seemingly trying to create distance.
"Leader Vera, attacking strangers without reason is not a good habit."
Vera replied somewhat fearfully, "I'm...I'm sorry."
"It's alright, it's good to admit your mistakes and correct them."
Lin Que smiled, extending his right hand to Vera: "To correct this bad habit of yours, let's act together today."
Vera: "Ugh."
If only I hadn't been so playful.
