On the way, Dunyarzad said, "A long, long time ago, the Sabzeruz Festival used to be very lively."
"There would be a huge float parading through the city, with people scattering flowers, candies, and wine along the way. The float would go all the way to Ormos Port."
[Ningguang: We have already seen Nahida's huge float in the preview.]
[Paimon: Yes. People were singing and dancing, very peaceful and happy.]
[Lumine: But now, it seems very modest.]
[Paimon: Was that the Lesser Lord Kusanali we saw in the preview? Or was it a scene from five hundred years ago?]
[Lumine: It must be the Lesser Lord Kusanali.]
[Yae Miko: That scene was probably after the Lesser Lord Kusanali was rescued.]
[Lumine: Regaining the love of the people.]
[Furina: That is what a deity should be. As soon as she goes out, she receives cheers from the people! People shout and cheer for me!]
[Nahida: Though my body has not yet been freed, my heart has already been unchained. Thank you all. Just as Furina was delighted to learn that Fontaine would surely be saved, I am also very pleased with my future birthday.]
[Paimon: We will celebrate it with you.]
[Lumine: We will make it even better than the preview.]
Paimon said seriously, "Dunyarzad's eyes seem to be sparkling."
Dunyarzad replied, "I am just a little yearning. But I believe Nilou's Dance of Sabzeruz will not be inferior to that scene."
They continued walking along the street.
They encountered a man wearing a strange hat performing for children.
When Dunyarzad approached, the children immediately turned to look at her.
The man in the strange hat said, "Hahaha, Miss Dunyarzad, your appeal to children is even stronger than Arda candy."
"During the days of preparing for the Sabzeruz Festival, the children have all taken a liking to you."
[Ei: Miko, I want to celebrate a birthday too.]
[Yae Miko: My dear Ei, in my memory, you have never held a birthday banquet. So I do not know when your birthday is.]
[Paimon: Ei has never celebrated a birthday?]
[Ei: Before entering the Plane of Euthymia, I was immersed in martial arts. After entering the Plane of Euthymia, I was cut off from reality.]
[Lumine: Ei, did you watch the preview and also want to be surrounded by people?]
[Ei: I think that to protect people's wishes, I should first blend in with them.]
[Yae Miko: Not a bad idea. Everyone is still too reserved around you.]
Dunyarzad cleared her throat and spoke in a lofty, recitative tone: "Ah, sacred Knight of Flowers of this day, what an honor that you know my name."
The man in the strange hat stammered in reply, "Ahem, of course. In the name of Farris the Knight of Flowers, I commend your great contributions to the most holy Sabzeruz Festival."
"Alright, little soldiers, take your Arda candy rewards well, remain loyal to the Lesser Lord Kusanali, and... dismissed!"
The children said in unison, "Yes, Sir Farris."
Paimon spread her hands. "What is this performance supposed to be?"
Dunyarzad explained again, "Farris the Knight of Flowers is also a symbol of the Sabzeruz Festival. In the past, the person playing the Knight of Flowers would sit on the float and was very popular among children."
The man playing the Knight of Flowers said softly, "Thanks to Miss Dunyarzad's sponsorship, the children's childhood gets such fun memories."
Dunyarzad replied, "You have worked hard too, Vihar."
