Okay, the shopping and eating ends here! The party at the assembly hall's gonna have even more food later.

Fnagh~ I'm still hungry, yanno. I can't wait anymore…
…The apple lanterns strung up there look real yummy!
|
Sebek
Sebek

I'm pretty sure he said the same thing earlier in the day…
|
Epel

|
Lantern… Ah, right!
I need to buy one to hang on my sled. There's probably something good at Kokko Market.
|
Jade
Jade
|
A lantern, you say? I believe your sled already has one hung on it if my memory serves right.
|
Epel
Epel

It broke during practice, actually.

Kelkkarotu also requires us to race through the night, right?
|
Epel
Epel
|
Yeah, it's really important. Without a lantern, it'll be so dark that you wouldn't be able to figure out your way through the race.
Plus, being able to see your teammates' lanterns among all the darkness is pretty reassuring in itself.
Ah! That stall over there sells some. I'll be right back!

Welcome! 'ave a look at Harveston's very own specialty lamp, 't apple-shaped Apple Lantern!
|
Jade

It seems that its appearance differs from the ones we see hanging above us.
|
Sebek
Sebek
|
It's much bigger in size than an actual apple fruit. In fact, it might be about the size of a person's head.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Having one the size of an apple would be too small the light up the way, after all.
|
Jade

|
What material is it composed of?
|
Epel
Epel
|
It's made of glass. When the flame inside is lit, the lantern sparkles really beautifully.
|
Jade
Jade
|
You can tell that the embellishments on its outer surface were designed by one with an exceptional eye for detail.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Yeah. Since these lanterns are handmade by the crafter, no two lanterns share the same appearance, in fact.
And since magic is used in its creation, the glass is much stronger than normal glass as well, and can shine really, really bright.
If you ever find your field of sight worsening due to the racecourse's condition at night, please look out for this lantern and gather around it immediately. Alright, everyone?
|
Sebek
Sebek
|
Got it. So basically, we have to use the apple as a mark while we race.
|
Choice 1: Now I want one of my own too.
|
Choice 2: I'm gonna go buy the same lantern.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Ah, do you intend to get one as a souvenir? Good eye you've got, Yuu!
I'm sure it'd look fantastic if you decorate your room with it. Let's buy them together.
Excuse me, could I get two of these lanterns, please!
|
Lantern Stallholder
|
There ye go! Thenks fer your patronage!
|
Jade
Jade
|
What a lovely souvenir you've bought, Yuu.
|
Epel
Epel
|
It's a really fitting one to get from Harveston, and I feel that it can even double up as a commemoration of the sled race.
I hope you'll remember Harveston fondly whenever you look at the lantern even when you're back in school!
|
Sebek
Sebek
|
Hmph, if you're gonna remember something fondly, make it our very victory at Kelkkarotu tomorrow instead.
|
Epel
Epel
|
…Yeah! Let's make this the best race ever and leave our mark in both records and memories!
Now, let's head back to the assembly hall for real this time.

We're finally here!
|
Epel
Epel
|
Oh right, how about we make a wish at the well one more time?
A wish to guarantee victory at the race…no! This will be a declaration that we're gonna win instead!
|
Sebek
Sebek
|
Sounds great!
|
Jade
Jade
|
Indeed, it does.
|
Idia

I can already envision how anguished they'd look after they lose to us.
|
Epel
Epel
|
Let's do this then.
And…go!
|
WE WILL WIN THE SLED RACE!!!!
|
Grim
Grim
|
I'm gonna stuff myself full of yummy food in the village!

Epel

We managed to be in sync this time! …While Grim's own gluttony is out in full view.

Food is my top priority no matter when or where I am!

Hehe, what an sturdy resolve Grim has.
