*3 years after transmigration*
In a village hiding in the Forest of Vanarana, a certain Fairy could be seen enjoying his morning, playing with small creatures.
"Fairy friend, Fairy friend! Play hide and seek with us next!" said one of the Aranaras.
"Alright, alright. Go hide yourselves while I count to 20." Responded Gloxinia with a found smile.
"""Yes"""
"One"
"Two…"
'Is it cheating if I search for them with my magical and nature perception? Yeah, I will turn that off…' he thought to himself.
"And twenty!"
"I'm coming!" he announced loudly.
While searching, a thought suddenly came to him.
'Wait a minute, isn't today the 31st of October? It's Halloween today! Maybe I should do something with the Aranaras.'
As he thought that, he found his friend, Arasata, behind a boulder.
"Found you, Arasata!" exclaimed Gloxinia.
"Impressive! Fairy friend is really great!"
"Haha thank you! But you're not bad yourself."
He then continued searching with Arasata.
'Do people in this world even celebrate Halloween? I would say no but who know what that Alice woman introduced in this world. I mean, there's already the concept of idol.'
"Found you too, Ararycan!"
"Oh no! Fairy friend found Ararycan…"
"Don't worry, we can always play again."
"Fairy friend is right."
'Maybe I should ask the Aranaras if they know what Halloween is. I should ask Araja.'
He then remarked the top of his friend's hat protruding of a huge leaf in the sky.
And as he flew up, he could the his friend with his back turned around.
"And found you, Arapas!" he said as the Aranara turned around surprised.
"Wow! Arapas was scared by Fairy friend!"
"Sorry, sorry. You're the last one so you won! Great job!"
"Yes! It makes Arapas feels great joy!"
"Good for you! But unfortunately, I won't be able to play with you all anymore, I need to go find Araja."
"""Ohhhh…""" they said at the same time, sad to see him leave.
As Gloxinia flew toward the Araja's home, he thought: 'If we celebrate Halloween, I need to prepare a costume and some fruits to share with Disaster. Too bad we don't have candy here.'
"Araja! Are you home?" he said.
"Fairy friend, come inside!" was the cheerful response he received.
"Araja, do you know what Halloween is?"
"Halloween? Sorry, Araja doesn't know; but Araja can ask other if they know!" he said with a bit of disappointment in his voice.
"Don't worry, I will explain it to you."
As he explained what Halloween consisted of, Araja listened with rapt attention.
"So, what do you think? Want to celebrate it?"
"Araja likes it! Aranaras likes festival, and Halloween is fun!" replied Araja enthusiastic.
"Perfect, pass the world to other and let's prepare for this evening." Gloxinia said as he left to prepare.
*In the evening*
"Perfect." Said Gloxinia as he inspected his costume.
'Since I'm a Fairy, I thought a wizard would be funny. And I can mimic the broom with flying, the only thing sticking out are my wings, but who cares.'
'I wonder what costume those little things came up with.' He thought with a smile.
"Time to head out."
…
…
…
"Quite impressive!" he exclaimed as he landed in the village.
The village, contrary to its normal look, was adorned with numerous lantern and carved Harra Fruits. Other decorations were spread out in all the village creating a festive atmosphere.
'The only thing missing is the spooky atmosphere.' he thought wryly.
'But that's also nice, and I don't think they can actually be spooky with how cute they look like.'
"Fairy friend!" called Araja.
"Araja! I didn't expect to see you like this!" said Gloxinia, lips twitching.
'Pffff...! Isn't this Santa Claus? Well, a green Santa Claus but still, that's too funny!'
"Fairy friend is greatly clothed!" complimented Araja, missing the expression on Gloxinia's face.
"Thank you, Araja. Is everything ready for tonight?" he asked him, wanting to see what other costume there were.
"Yes, Fairy friend! Everyone is ready!"
"Alright then, let's begin! Here is some Sunsettia and Zaytun Peach for you." He exclaimed as he handed the small Santa some fruits from his basket.
"Thank you!"
'Alright, let's see what are they all doing.' he thought as he began strolling around the village.
An interesting fact is that since having the ability to fly, Gloxinia stays rarely on the ground. The only time he could be seen walking was when he interacted with the Aranaras.
"Nice costume, Aramani! Here, fruits." he told to the Aranara with a Dendro Slime costume as he gifted him some Henna Berry.
"Thank you, Fairy wizard!" responded the now green Slime.
"Aralila, are you a Hilichurl?" asked Gloxinia with amusement.
"Yes! Araja told Aralila to wear something scary!"
"I see, good costume!" he said as he handed some more fruits to him.
"Arasata, I didn't expect you to dress as a Dendro Hypostasis! Where did you even find the rest of one…" he said, intrigued.
"Arasata saw one in the desert, so Arasata decided to dress like it. Arasata went into a lot of trouble to find one like him who didn't attack anymore." said the Aranara with an excited expression.
"I bet you did, yours is the best one I've so far! Here, I will give you some gifts." said Gloxinia as he handed him different berries and fruits.
'I feel more like Santa giving everyone gifts than Araja…' he thought wryly, shaking his head.
As the night progressed, Gloxinia saw numerous different costumes that the Aranaras prepared with cared. He gifted his friend more and more fruits and received the equivalent from everyone.
That night, Gloxinia remembered having the feeling of a never stopping festival laughing with his friends.
And when a certain Traveler came to Vanarana on one October, he was surprised to see all the Aranaras preparing their clothing and collecting some fruits with care for a certain festival, in memory of a certain Fairy.
