Finally, the big day arrived.
"I hope I don't have to do this every year," Lux said as adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror. "I feel like an animal in the zoo, being stared at by tourists."
"Pa?" Eiko, who was perched on top of Lux's head, tilted her head in confusion.
"Um, a zoo is a place where exotic animals are kept in cages, Eiko."
"Okay!"
The Baby Slime nodded her head even though she didn't completely understand what her Papa was talking about.
Lux had just finished styling his hair, and repeatedly told her not to ruin it for the entire duration of the festivities.
Eiko agreed and decided to behave, simply sitting on top of Lux's head like she always did. After making sure that he looked presentable, the Half-Elf left his room and headed to the Main Event Hall.
Iris was still being assisted by Cai in her private residence, so she asked Lux to go ahead first.
