David's invitation of Gustav for a date came completely spontaneously. On the one hand, David was glad he did it, on the other... Ehm, he could have thought of a better place and a better occasion than this festival, but this is what popped into his head first. Maybe because he and his father were supposed to dress the church for the occasion?
In any case, the longer David thought about this festivities, the more he regretted it. Not because they would show up in public, among many people, but because there was nothing to do at such a village festival.
In his memory, he had all the festivals he had seen in Japanese anime, and the one to be held on Sunday was quite different.
First, it was an indulgence, or religious holiday, where most people put going to church for mass as the main point.
