Chapter 422: Asuka's Invitation
🕑 Added 2025-09-11 03:28:27 +0000 UTCLittle Garden's area was extremely vast. The lower level alone was the size of a giant star's surface area.
Therefore, traveling between the four districts obviously couldn't be done by walking; it would take forever.
Connecting the four districts were Boundary Gates, equivalent to space transfer devices, which were extremely convenient. They would open every so often for one-time transportation. After all, the energy consumed by the Boundary Gates was considerable, so the price was also extremely expensive.
However, for No Name, which had obtained all of Perseus's resources, this amount was nothing.
"Whoosh!" As Blake and his group walked out of the Boundary Gate, a hot wind carrying a hint of warmth whistled past, brushing against everyone's faces.
Then, the scenery ahead finally entered everyone's eyes.
Looking at the scene before them, Izayoi Sakamaki, Asuka Kudou, and Yo Kasukabe were all slightly stunned.
Even Blake, who had seen extraordinary things, had his eyes light up.
Especially Asuka Kudou, who gasped as if taking a deep breath of cold air.
"Red walls?" Yes.
What entered the group's eyes was a huge red boundary wall.
In Little Garden City, besides the seven circular boundary walls that separated each floor, there were also two huge boundary walls like diagonals, dividing the entire Little Garden City into four districts.
Those four districts were the East, West, South, and North Districts.
The towering red boundary wall before them was the boundary wall separating the East and North Districts.
On the boundary wall, one could also see monuments carved from mined stone, resembling the vaults of Gothic spires built by excavating and constructing, and a huge triumphal arch formed by merging two outer gates standing on the outer wall.
In front of Blake and his group standing at the gate was
a corridor decorated with colorful stained glass.
In the corridor, there were even candlesticks walking
proudly on two feet on the street and people dressed in various clown-like costumes creating a lively scene with the comings and goings of people.
"W-Walking candlesticks!"
Asuka Kudou's eyes lit up with surprise, and she pointed at the walking candlestick, tugging on Yo Kasukabe's hand beside her.
"Look! There's a walking candlestick!"
"Really." Yo Kasukabe said, equally astonished.
"It's completely different from the East District, it feels like we've entered another world."
"It's mainly because the festival is currently being held, and also, the culture of the North District is indeed different from the East District," Black Rabbit explained.
"The festival hasn't even started yet. In a few more days, it'll probably be even more lively, right?" Izayoi Sakamaki's mood was instantly lifted.
"In any case, let's go take a look around first!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
............
In the red-windowed corridor decorated with red bricks and stained glass, Blake and his group walked down the center of the street, enduring the pointing and whispering of the surrounding people, instantly becoming the center of attention.
The one who attracted the most attention was Black Rabbit. Although the others' appearances and auras were also extraordinary, they were still a bit lacking compared to Black Rabbit, who had the air of nobility.
Izayoi Sakamaki, Asuka Kudou, and Yo Kasukabe were all surprised by Black Rabbit's famous appearance. After all, before this, they had thought Black Rabbit was only famous in the East District.
At least Blake, Leticia, and Shirayuki-hime were obviously not surprised. After all, Black Rabbit was a Moon Rabbit, known as the nobility of Little Garden. Whether in the lower or upper levels of Little Garden, Moon Rabbits were extremely famous existences.
Of course, due to past events, the Moon Rabbit tribe had been almost wiped out, so there were very few of them now.
"Look! Flying lanterns!" Just then, Asuka Kudou, with sparkling eyes, looked at a group of lanterns floating in the air not far away while vigorously tugging on Blake's clothes beside her.
"Not only are there walking candlesticks, but also flying lanterns. The North District is truly a dreamlike place," Asuka Kudou said with some anticipation.
"I wonder if there are any pumpkin-headed monsters? You know, the kind of?? (yokai, supernatural creatures) that appear during that festival called something-wan..."
"You mean Jack-o'-lanterns?" Blake shook his head and corrected her.
"It's that pumpkin monster that appears during
Halloween."
"Right, right, right! It's Halloween!" Asuka Kudou nodded repeatedly.
"The North District's festival is very similar to that. Coming here was the right choice."
"Asuka, do you like Halloween?" Black Rabbit said in surprise. The others also looked at Asuka Kudou with strange eyes, not expecting her to have this side.
"It's not exactly liking. It's just that I heard about this festival when I was little and thought it sounded very beautiful."
"After all, the place I used to live was really very boring, and because I could control people's hearts, I was locked up in a dormitory school. I never had the chance to participate in such wonderful activities." Asuka Kudou said somewhat absentmindedly.
"I see. Then take this opportunity to enjoy yourself. After all, it's a rare festival," Blake shrugged.
"Blake, I hope you'll accompany me to stroll around, how about it?" Asuka Kudou suddenly looked at Blake with a hint of expectation.
This also stunned everyone. Was this a date invitation?
