Chapter 159 - Day 159: Meeting again (I)

The moment he heard that accompanied by the excited shouts of the town's inhabitants, it was quite obvious to Blake that it was a new event that would be held in said place, in addition to the fact that at that very moment he remembered that name that was in the calendar inside your house.

The voices around the square were rapidly dying down as everyone realized that Wells was prepared to say something else.

"Well, it's always nice to feel the excitement you give off, the preparations will start at the same time as always so as not to keep the tourists waiting and that everyone can prepare enough, the main event will start from nine o'clock in the morning, so don't miss it." Everyone was silent nodding at Wells's words. "And that would be all from me, if there is any doubt you can come to ask."

That made everyone understand that the small gathering was over and the townspeople said their goodbyes respectively, but unlike them, Blake actually had a thoughtful expression and it wasn't lost on Wells.

"Your expression can mean two things, you want to ask something or you ate something bad, haha." Those same words brought Blake out of his thoughts besides the fact that he didn't know if he should pretend to laugh at that joke.

"I guess I was too obvious... I wanted to ask about the festival." Wells didn't find that strange.

"Normally I don't explain festivals since everyone knows about them, but that's not the case for you." And closing his eyes a bit to concentrate, Wells began to explain everything. "Maybe the name 'Wooly festival' doesn't explain much, but in Simply put, it's all about the main event."

Blake continued to pay attention so as not to miss anything.

"You see, this event is about shearing a huge wooly." And just hearing that, Blake continued just as confused. "I see that that didn't work, going into detail, Sherman is in charge of bringing a huge wooly with enough wool for everyone during the event can shear it using tools that will not really hurt it. The event consists of the participants getting the largest amount of wool to win through a point count, but that's not all, in the event, there will also be some small woolies to obstruct you, and if you hurt any of them, you will be disqualified, for what you should be aware of that."

Thinking about it, it seemed too simple, but despite that, Blake was pensive again, but he didn't know whether to ask the question that was on his mind, although again, Wells realized that and it was easy for him to guess.

"You're thinking why I'm not against the event since I don't like monsters, right?" Blake was startled a little since that was exactly what he thought. "Of course, I don't feel very comfortable with monsters in town, but I'm not going to ruin everyone's fun for that simple reason, I'm not so grumpy, haha!"

Blake then had a basic understanding of what the event was about, although seeing it in person will be somewhat more descriptive.

"Besides that, the town benefits from attracting tourists and I'm not going to complain about that, so there you have your answer." Blake just nodded and felt that he didn't need to bother Wells anymore, but then he remembered something else.

"By the way, Wells. I wanted to ask you another question." Wells just remained silent waiting for Blake's words. "Wouldn't it be a problem if he built a barn on my farm?"

Blake remembered the idea Gaius had given him about building a barn, so he thought it was a good time to ask Wells's opinion.

"A barn... Will you use it for monsters or common animals?"

"Actually, I thought of it to take care of monsters that could help me on the farm..." Blake had said his main idea, he knew that he could use it to raise common farm animals, but the idea of having fellow monsters seemed more interesting to him. He felt a little uneasy since Wells hadn't said a single word after that, but it seemed like he shouldn't worry too much.

"If that's the case, I don't think there will be any problems." Blake was already about to sigh in relief, but Wells hadn't finished. "Just remember that if any monster you bring causes damage to the town or something like that, it will be your full responsibility, in addition to that you shouldn't let them loose unless they stay on the farm."

Wells's voice was quite serious about that and Blake promised several times that no problem would happen, so once all those doubts were removed, he finally said goodbye to Wells while he did the same.

Blake was already about to leave the plaza and was thinking about trying to go back to the desert to investigate the surroundings a little more or perhaps enter the maze again to raise his level and skills, but the figure of Shino in the distance did not go unnoticed by him since she was looking at him and motioning for him to come closer.

"Good afternoon, master." Blake was already quite used to calling her that way, so it wasn't strange for either of them.

"Same here, are you excited about tomorrow's event?"

"I'd be lying if I said no, after having participated in the previous ones I can't help but want to win one, haha." Blake was getting ready for the next day, but when he heard Shino's next words, he raised his eyebrow expectantly.

"Ufufu, it looks like Sakuya will have a little more competition this year... But I guess you're wondering why I called you?" A small silence accompanied by the pink leaves flying in the air was what followed the words she said. "Someone is interested in meeting you."
