Start of the Midsummer Festival

The Midsummer Festival couldn't be considered popular because it focused on mercenaries, and everyone else would just gather for food and drinks. Thereafter, the Mercenary Association decided to 'join in the fun' and promote it into a festival. But, even so, the Midsummer Festival still wasn't regarded highly by others because the nature of mercenaries was always loud and rowdy, and all of them would eat and drink gluttonously. Unlike other festivals, the Midsummer Festival didn't have any procedures like giving speeches of missions and all—mercenaries wouldn't know if they could see another day, so expectations and ideals were equal to nothing for them. As for missions, what were their missions other than earning money?
