"Knock knock-" The doorbell rang at Yuu's house.

"Hello-" Yuu, who was making breakfast, heard the doorbell and hurriedly rushed over to open the door, only to see Chiba appear in front of the door. "You're finally back, have you had breakfast? Mind eating with us? ”

"No need," Chiba shook her head. "I already bought today's breakfast yesterday." With that, he took off his shoes and dodged back to the reception room.

When Qian Yu closed the door and turned his gaze back to the reception room, he saw that everyone had put down their half-eaten breakfast and stared at him.

"Chiba, you're back?" Dr. Asa stopped cutting the ham in his hand and greeted.

"I'm back." Qian Yu nodded, put his bag on the ground, knelt down in the place where everyone had given him, and began to eat.

"Your job done?" Conan asked, swallowing the food in his mouth.

Qian Yu nodded, glanced at his schoolbag with his eyes, and signaled that the results were all in the bag.

"It seems that there are a lot of carts coming today, all for the festival?" As the sound of a large truck came into the house through the window, Ayumi, who had already finished her sandwich, curious.

"This isn't a small festival of the year," replied Chiha, holding the finished sandwich in her hand. "The May festival is a major festival that can only be held once by a shrine maiden, and only in May of the year when each shrine maiden has been in office for five years. This festival celebrates the inauguration of a new shrine maiden, and is held five years after her inauguration because shrine maidens are generally hereditary, in order to alleviate the grief of shrine maidens over the loss of their loved ones. ”

"But how do you know that?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"Yesterday, when I was copying the Ifukubu Nokuku's mechanical handwriting at the Ifukubu department store, which is also Miss Ifukube's residence, Miss Ifukubu Hachihiro told me when she was chatting with me. I asked him how big the festival would be, but she told me she didn't know because it was a huge ceremony that only happens once in a shrine maiden's life, and the last time it was held was more than forty years before she was born. ”

"Where is the 'small' festival that takes place every year?" Mitsuhiko wondered. "Or is there no annual festival at all?"

"The annual festival does exist, but it's not in May," Chiba said, holding the sandwich in one hand and gesturing a number with the other. "At the end of July after the exam, it is a small annual festival."

"And then we'll do it again?" Yuan Tai asked tentatively.

Mitsuhiko looked at Ayumi.

Ayumi looked at Conan.

Conan smiled and looked at Chiba.

Chiha shrugged her shoulders and looked at Dr. Asasa.

"Hmm-" Dr. Asa saw the reactions of several people, and it was clear that they were not against it (Yuan Tai agreed, while the other four did not mind). "Okay, we can do it again after you finish the exam and have a holiday."

"Knock-" A very soft knock on the door reached Qianyu's ears in the interval between the voices, and Qianyu hurriedly told everyone to stop talking, and then went to open the door.

Qianyu had seen it before, and Yuu's sister Dome was standing outside the door.

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Chiba asked.

"Nine o'clock, festival, Ifubu store." The dome just uttered three words.

"The festival is outside the Ifubu store, and it starts at nine?" Chiba tried to connect the three words. "So, excuse me, where did Brother Yu go?"

"Prepare for the festival." The dome's answer was still very brief.

“。。。” Qian Yu was slightly stunned by this answer, but decided to ignore the question and instead glanced at the clock. "Okay, thank you very much."

。。。 Thirty minutes later.

"How long do you have to go?" After walking for a long time, Yuan Tai complained.

"It's not far away," Qian Yu replied after glancing at the nearby buildings. But he turned a street corner and then changed his tune. "Here we are."

When everyone came to Qianyu's side, they saw that both sides of the road in front of them were already occupied by the stalls that were being unfolded by the vendors.

"Doctor, give me some money!" Yuan Tai couldn't hold on to the food stall pennant fluttering on the stall, and hurriedly asked Dr. Asa for money. "I want to buy food!"

"Yuantai, you just ate, right?" Ayumi said with a smile. "Why do you want to eat again?"

"The food must not have been cooked yet, what can you eat?" Thousand feathers with white eyes. "It's going to take at least fifteen minutes to an hour to eat."

"Then why are we here so early?" Yuan Tai "cut" and complained.

"Is it early?" Conan looked at his watch. "It's 9:02, and it looks like the '9 o'clock start' of the festival is just the beginning, not the hospitality."

"It's just that the stalls here aren't big enough to accommodate people," a familiar voice came from behind. "The booth in the center has started cooking!"

"Brother Yuu?" Ayumi turned around, only to see Yumasa carrying a sedan chair with a more athletic boy. "Brother, what are you doing here?"

"I hear," Mitsuhiko thought. "In the Far East, there is a custom of letting the bride sit in a sedan chair, is Brother You transporting the bride?"

"How is that possible!" Yu was taken aback by Mitsuhiko's guess and quickly explained. "It's—"

"A sedan chair for marrying the girl you like," said the sturdy boy before he could finish speaking. "Kid, you guessed right~"

"Ryohei!" Youyu said angrily. "Don't make a fuss! We're just—"

"It's just a sedan chair that carries the props needed for the shrine performance," Ryohei explained to everyone with a smile. "You should be able to see this palanquin later when you watch the stage play."

"Why are you still here?" Another girl came from the direction of the shrine and asked. "We don't have much time left!"

"Nao-chan, we'll carry it over right away."

"Yiyi, give us a little time!" Liang Ping said unpleasantly. "We're not trucks!"

Nao – Sauce ??? Chiba looked playfully at this girl called Ishina and Yuu. It seems that they have some special relationship ... It's funny.

"Then let's go first," Yurang Ryohei re-lifted the sedan chair and said to Chiba. "Chiba, go down the stairs that lead to the mountain, and look to the right there is a makeshift stage that has been set up, where the repertoire will be performed from ten o'clock, you can go there and watch. As a friendly reminder, the highlight is at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the shrine maiden of the Fork Shrine performs the myth and legend of the goddess Fork Ikhime! ”

"Is there a stall where you can buy delicious food right now?" Watching the sedan chair go away, Yuan Tai suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly asked.

"That's right!" The voice came from behind the palanquin. "There are a lot of delicious foods that have already opened!"
