Moon Festival

(A/N : I changed the timeline for those who's asking. :3)

"Hmm.. Where should we go?" I asked them. Everyone had their eyes shining but for some reason, no one talked about the destination.

"Eh?? You don't know where we're going, Ageas? Isn't that obvious?" Tiona said while everyone nodded at the same time.

"Right.. shopping for clothes then." I said before getting dragged by everyone. Even Ais is coming with us.

Not long after getting dragged. We arrived at the shopping district. Everything here sold all the clothes in Orario. From one corner to the other, everything is clothes.

"Then, where should we enter first?" I said and everyone pointing toward a different direction. The group getting divided. The non-Amazoness walking toward the left side and the Amazoness to the right side.

"Emmm..." I looked at their interaction. Everyone stopped walking and looked at each other. "That way then.." They said while pointing toward the other direction from the first time they pointing at.

"Hah~... We had all day. Just stay together." I said and decided for them. "We will go from the left side then the right side." I said and everyone nodded in agreement.

When everyone entered the shop. Now it's becoming crowded because of the amount of people going inside together at the same time. So, I decided to wait outside close to the counter to pay.

I looked at a bench nearby and I sat there. Beside me there's another man sitting next to me with a pale face "Yo.... Man... New here?" He said greeting me.

"Uuhh.. Yes.. I have never been here." I said to him. "I'm sorry for you man... I saw you with all the girls there... If we met at different places, I might envy you but here? I felt sorry for you..." He said before someone shouting at the distance.

"Honey!! Come here!! We're gonna enter the next store." A lady with her dress calling at him, the man beside me. "On my way, dear.." He said before getting up and looked at me.

"Hope you make it out from here alive. If we do, let's meet again someday." He said and waving goodbye. As if it will be the last day for him to live.

"C'mon, honey. What took you so long?" The woman said to him before they walked away. I just looked at them for a second before getting called.

"Ageas... Come here... come here..." Lena calling me. "Emm... On my way." I said while I started walking toward the store. But my footsteps stopped for a second and the man's sentence kept ringing on my head.

I tried to ignore it and just went inside the store. That day is the first time that I found a scarier thing than fighting a monster for my life.

At that time until all the shops are closed on the street. I have been accompanying them around all the stores. I don't mind if only walking and waiting or maybe brought their clothes since I had Gate of Babylon.

But it's killing me that I had to tell them my opinion on every single clothes they tried. One girl could bring about 5 clothes toward the changing booth. On top of that, if they're not satisfied enough. They would be looking for another type of clothes and tried them on again.

The worst thing is that I brought too many girls for my sake. This kind of thing, I would definitely put it in my mind the next time we go shopping.

-----------------------------------

"Aaahh!! Finally, it's done. It's so much fun, don't you think?" Shakti said while stretching her body after going out from the last shop that closed due to the time.

"We should do it again sometime." Aisha said while lifting the clothes she bought. "Still... Should I call them clothes for Amazoness? They looked more like undergarments for me." I said while trying to found a wall to lean on.

"Let's go, everyone!! Toward the Moon Festival!!" Tiona said while feeling excited but for me, it's a nightmare. I felt like I had been fighting non-stop for one full week. My body had no energy.

"Wait... Tiona.. Is it today? Shouldn't the moon festival started tomorrow?" I said after thinking for a second. "Tch... Tch... Isn't midnight mark the change of the date?" Hestia said while wearing a smug face.

"Stop it..." I said while lifting her up and clutching her face. "Itte... itteee!!!" She shouted and tried to remove my fingers off.

"Nii-san? Kami-sama?" Someone said behind me. "Oh... Otōto-kun.." Tiona said while looking at Bell. "Everyone... What are you guys doing here?" Bell said wondering about us.

"Ah.. It's you, Bell." I said while removing Hestia from my clutch. She dropped and hit her bump to the ground. "The same goes for you. What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Mmm... We're heading for the moon festival. I'm with Welf-san and Lili but Welf said about buying something while Lili still changes her clothes to her Yukata." Bell said which perked all the girl's ears.

They looked at me as if asking for permission to leave and wore them. "Hah~.. Alright, we're going to the moon festival." I said giving up while everyone started running back home and change their clothes.

"Mmm.... Ais.... Aren't you coming with them?" I asked her that is left behind with Mikoto and Haruhime. She looked left and right and couldn't believe that she got left behind.

"I don't have a Yukata." She said which explained everything. "Should we buy one?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Haruhime, could you help her?" I said since she already wore one. "Don't worry, Ageas-dono. Of course, we will help her." Mikoto is the one answering and went with Ais to buy her one.

"Huf~... It's really crowded today." I said while waiting for the girl with Bell beside me. "Nn... Indeed. It might be because Hermes-sama issued a challenge today." Bell said.

"Hmm? What kind?" I asked while peeking at him gaining interest at it. "I don't know, Nii-san. Let's just greet him later." Bell said shaking his head.

"Ugh.. I personally hate that guy." I said before ending the conversation. "Sorry to make you wait long." The girls said after we wait for about half an hour. Everyone looked rather different. They even caught more attention from the people around them.

"How is it, Ageas?" Shakti said while spinning in her orange yukata. "Hmmm.... All of you looked rather dazzling tonight. It gave a different type of feeling when everyone wearing it." I said giving my honest opinion.

"Then, let's enjoy the time at the festival." I said before Lili and Welf also coming as well.
