ED: Manga Hunter

Hey, Almis. You dont have to come here in the evening of the next full moon. Im busy in preparation for the New Year.

E! Thats so? Is it New Year. Naturally, there is that.

I had forgotten it.

Anyway, the only thing that informs the time are only the height of the sun, temperature, and the growth of plants.

Thats right. Naturally, there is New Year.

It is New Year in the winter, which means that this is a northern hemisphere. I feel relieved a little.

No, wait. It is doubtful whether there is a calendar when I think about this culture level.

In the first place, is it solar calendar or moon calendar?

Naa, Whats the standard that decided the calendar?

Well, was it the movement of the sun? I dont know the the detail either. It was imported from a foreign country.

I see, I was convinced.

Its so. It is a mystery on how Astronomy develops in this culture level.

However, a foreign country

The foreign country here is not a country in this area, it could be said that the country is in the point of the far sea.

If Im not mistaken, a Karishian said this and that.

The difference in development is great depending on the area.

Ill remember it.

Naa? What do you do to celebrate the new year?

Lets seewe kill a pig which is raised only for this day to dedicate to the God and eat together. After that, we set up the great purification to expel evil spirit again. There is no need for putting it to New Year because it is possible to do it any time. These preparations are troublesome.

Indeed

Because Julia is a magician, is it even more serious?

Is it so? A pig?

Unfortunately, there are no pigs. There is cow but its an important labor

Should I substitute with a deer?

Though, I have to search for a deer with everyone.

That reminds me, there is no shrine maiden in Almiss village?

Yeah, what about it? Its because it is made up of deserted children. They might not abandon a shrine maiden. Maybe not.

I refrain from inquiring into the past of the children.

Therefore, I do not know what kind of skill they have.

My biggest concern is Tetora

She might secretly be a shrine maiden. Somehow.

Then, there is no other way. Should I perform it?

It isnt necessary for you to overdo it particularly?

Somehow the other party had picked up on Julia being a noble individual.

She is able to prepare salt every month so she is considerably rich. However, I dont know why she is in such a place.

In addition, she is also a magician.

It is seriously New Year, soon. The New Year gets busier than for Japanese since this world is
