Jump back around October 31st. It is a special day for Anami Nina. That day is the Ghost Festival. Nina remembers the festival thanks to her previous life, born on Planet Earth, the State of Indonesia.
You can see the calendar on Herby's showing October 30th. At 5.00 AM, Nina got up from bed in her apartment.
"Uh..." Nina stretched her body. Clori is known to be a pillow. Nina is still asleep.
"Hurry up... It's morning now." Said Nina yawned and then got up from her bed.
>> At that time, there was only Clori. Shuu, Sirius, and Rai were still not born. <<
Then Nina saw the calendar.
"Tomorrow is Halloween Day. I have to prepare knick-knacks right away." Nina panicked because she had forgotten to prepare it.
Nina then dashed off to brush her teeth, take a bath, wake up Clori, eat breakfast, and drive to Herby's shopping mall.
After some time, Nina and Clori left for the mall.
While on the way, the atmosphere of the city is crowded like on typical days. There are numerous flying cars in the area, as well as cyclists, pedestrians, and wand users. She soared through the streets with her cute cloud.
However, on the highway, you could not see people wearing Halloween knick-knacks.
"Isn't it Halloween tomorrow? Why don't they put on the decorations? " Nina reflected as she walked down the street as if it were any other day.
"What's wrong, Master?" Asked Clori, seeing the strange look on Nina's face.
"Nothing," replied Nina with a fake smile. Then Clori continued on her way.
A few minutes later, they arrived at one of the biggest shopping malls in Herby. The building looks so modern, luxurious, and elegant. Various types of items, food products, and luxury goods are available. It's all there.
Nina then enters the shopping mall to look for Halloween trinkets. Unfortunately, there is no shop selling the items.
"That is impossible... Why doesn't anyone sell Halloween knick-knacks?" Nina couldn't believe what she saw. Even the villagers don't understand Halloween.
Nina finally returned home empty-handed. Clori notices her depressed demeanor on her way home.
"Master, why do you look so gloomy?" asked the cloud who flew beside her.
Nina was silent and didn't say anything. It was as if the girl had given up hope. Clori's face became even more concerned when seeing her condition. She arrived at a park. She just sat there looking at the surrounding scenery with a sad face. Clori saw her, then left her alone. After that, Clori flew towards the Herby Palace.
Sometime later, the Cloud arrived at the Palace. In front of the Palace Gate, the Supreme Master and Ria thought about something.
"Ria San, I wonder why Nina Chan didn't get here. Shouldn't she have a mission to do, right?" Supreme Master was confused when he saw her, who suddenly didn't come to the Palace.
"I don't know the Supreme Master. I tried to contact her, but the call was not answered," She showed her Call Log.
Clori heard the conversation between the Supreme Master and Ria, and immediately approached them.
"Master..." Clori called them.
The Supreme Master and Ria turned to look behind them for a brief moment when they heard Clori's call. They saw Clori, who flew towards them.
"Clori? What are you doing here? Where is Nina chan?" Enquired the Supreme Master.
"About that..." Clori explained everything that happened to Nina when she went to the mall.
"Halloween Festival?" Asked Ria. She looked strange after hearing Clori's words.
"Yes. I heard from Master Nina that the Halloween Festival is a tradition in which celebrities wear ghost costumes. This festival requires all the streets to be filled with Halloween knick-knacks. The children also have to ask for candy by saying
"I've heard the word this Halloween." The Supreme Master tried to remember his memories. Finally, he noticed something. He looked pensive.
"Oh no... I should have reminded everyone that tomorrow is a Halloween tradition." The Supreme Master remembers it clearly. There was a frustrated face because he had almost forgotten that crucial day.
"Ria Chan... Call Morine, Liana, and Erina here. I have to correct this mistake." Said the Supreme Master, who initiated a particular action.
"Ok, Supreme Master..." Said Ria. Then Ria opened a portal to find other colleagues.
"Clori, follow me!" Said the Supreme Master. Clori only followed him.
Sometime later, it is seen that he is doing a live broadcast, asking everyone to dress like a ghost tomorrow.
Indeed, there were pros and cons. The Supreme Master began to explain the festival called Halloween through social media.
The Supreme Master contacted the clothing manufacturing department to make Halloween designs, knick-knacks, and Halloween dolls. He sent a file containing the draft data.
Meanwhile, Ria meets Morine and others. They are relaxing on the beach, South of Glory City.
"Hey..., we have to prepare something. Don't just relax!" Said Ria. She asked her and the others.
"Wait, Ria Chan. I'm busy sunbathing." Said Morine casually.
Erina, who heard her statement for a moment, got up from the lounge chair and approached her.
"What's wrong, Ria chan?" Asked Erina.
"Tomorrow is Halloween," Ria explained.
"Halloween?" Erina was confused by that word.
Seeing Erina's confused expression made her face sweat. Then the blue-haired girl explained everything about Halloween that she knew.
After listening to Ria's long explanation, Erina finally understood.
"This is bad. If we ignore a day that means a lot to Nina, maybe her heart will always be sad. This can't happen." Said Erina. Then she began ordering Morine and Liana to work immediately.
"Morine Chan, Liana Chan. Hurry up and get up! We can't relax anymore. Tomorrow is a crucial day! We have to help prepare for the festival!" Stated Erina, who looked serious.
Liana took off her sunglasses and obeyed. However, Morine refused.
"Eh... can you not bother me?" Asked Morine, who felt annoyed.
"I don't know whether you want to help or not. But it means a lot to Nina Chan. I hope you realize how important that day is." Said Ria seriously. The atmosphere around it was awful.
Morine was silent at Ria's statement.
"Come on, Erina San, Liana San. Let's go. We still have a lot of work to prepare." Said Ria.
"Yes." Said Liana. Erina and Liana, along with Ria, leave her alone.
"(Why can I act like this)." She felt guilty because she had said something that she thought was rude.
"(I can't ruin that day. I also have to take extraordinary measures)," Thought Morine. She got up from her chair then as well. Finally, massive preparations began to take place.
In the evening, Nina comes home from the park after being pensive for hours. She walked home, alone on a lonely night, with a sad feeling.
"(I hope I can enjoy those old memories)," Said Nina, with a feeble tone.
When she arrived home, suddenly there was a big surprise.
"TRICK OR TREAT." Said the Supreme Master, Ria, Erina, and Liana, with great fanfare.
Seeing Ria, Erina, and Liana wearing pumpkin masks, dressed as ghosts, and the Supreme Master dressed as a zombie, Nina suddenly drops and falls. There was a sound of sobs and a pool of tears of blood streaming down her face. Finally, the girl cried... When they saw her shed tears, they were also crying.
"Nina Chan... Nina Chan..." Erina kept calling her with a sobbing tone. Clori appeared and hugged her tightly.
Inside Nina's feelings, Nina is thrilled.
"Thank you." Said Nina while crying out loud.
I just felt like they just wanted to cheer me up. But I'm pretty happy they didn't forget that day. || thought Nina, who muttered in her heart. Then she was about to go out to look at the stars in the sky. When she was about to come out, Morine suddenly surprised her with Mummy-style clothes with bandages.
"Trick Or Treat." Said Morine. She was joined by children who also wore costumes and attended this festival.
"Morine Chan?" Nina called her, who couldn't believe a Morine with Highclass Style would dress up like that.
"Give me Candy!" Said Morine, then the children who came along with her also asked for candy from her.
But Nina forgot to prepare the candy because she was upset. Nina replied, "Treat." Finally, Nina got punished.
"Let's go outside. We have something to show you." Uttered Morine, who grabbed her hand. Nina just followed her.
"Wait!!!" Said Ria, Erina, Liana, and the Supreme Master left the apartment as well.
It was seen that the neighbors also had a lively surprise. Suddenly, there were lots of pumpkin-shaped lanterns. The atmosphere around them was dark, only lit by the lantern.
Erina was captivated by the lantern's dim light, which transformed the scenery of Glory City into a terrifying nightmare.
Around the park area and the highway, you can see residents enjoying the scenery while wearing costumes. The Halloween Festival has suddenly gotten festive.
On a beautiful night with the sky filled with stars, Nina was just contemplating. Then the pink-haired girl held her hand.
"Nina Chan, let's play." Liana chirped, inviting her to play with the children.
"Ok." Their festival trip was fun.
On the other hand, Morine approached Erina and Ria.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that harshly." Said Morine, bowing her head.
Erina grabbed her shoulder and said with a smile, "I understand everything. But I feel relieved. You are still thinking about her condition."
"In the past, I used to feel that way. However, I was always embraced by her. I just wanted her to be happy." Morine replied, her eyes dripping unconsciously, remembering the beautiful memories with Nina.
"I also apologize for getting too carried away." Said Ria.
"Never mind, quarrels like this are common. The most important thing is that we can all laugh and enjoy life in peace." Said Erina, who embraced her two friends.
"Yeah," Morine answered, then they also joined Nina and Liana in holding a game with the residents and children.
The Supreme Master only looks at them with a peaceful heart from a distance.
"(Thankfully, they are cheerful as usual. It looks like I have to find this snack)," Thought Supreme Master with a smile when seeing everyone enjoying the festival.
In the end, everyone was enjoying an enjoyable Halloween atmosphere. New memories are starting to be engraved again.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN DAYS!
