(In Watatsumi Island)

A guard then stepped on a wooden platform, as a crowd surrounded him. Sangonomiya Kokomi and Gorou was beside him, as he was signalled to begin "Dear Citizens of Watatsumi island, You are gathered here today to inform everyone of you an invitation to the Festival that is going to commence tommorow. This Festival is about celebrating of the peace within Inazuma. Every man or woman is invited to this Festival including; The once resistance army, foreigners from other nations, and even creatures that are different from one of us. Everyone is welcome to have fun in this Festival.

Signed by the Grand Narukami priestess, Guuji Yae"

He then ended and stepped aside of the wooden platform and let the priestess of Watatsumi Island to speak "As you may all know, the fight against the resistence and the shogunate has finally came to an end. Guuji Yae had announced that there will be a Festival about celebrating the peace of Inazuma and the independence of Watatsumi. By tommorow, everyone will be invited for the Festival! But that is for your choice to stay or to part take at this event" Kokomi said and everyone whispered about it.

Suddenly a large man from behind the crowd then shouted "I bet there's going to be a contest there! I'll go to that damn Festival just to have a rematch with Kojou chicken and that Kitsune!" Gorou facepalmed as he knows who it was "Itto..." he grumbled in frustration.

"Dont worry about my bladder going to explode because of all the tea I drank so far, Ayaka" Ayato said, as he sipped another cup of tea. Ayaka pinched her temples "No, I'm not talking about your tea addiction, Brother" Ayaka said "Then what is it?" Ayato asked, as he gave her a cup of tea "Its about the Festival that is going to commence tommorow" Ayaka said and Ayato choked on his tea "T-tommorow?!" Ayato coughed a bit and Ayaka nodded her head.

"I've already ordered servants of the Kamisato Clan to prepare for the upcoming Festival" Ayaka informed him and he sighed in relief "Why did the shogun announced a Festival all too suddenly???" Ayato asked, refilling his cup "The shogun is not here in Inazuma, She's currently in Liyue by now" Ayaka said and Ayato looked at her "What?! The shogun is not here?! Then who's managing?!" Ayato exclaimed "Lady Yae is incharged and... brother" Ayaka then pointed at his cup, that was now overflowing with tea.

Ayato puts down the tea pot and nervously smiled "So what is the purpose of me being present there?" Ayato asked, casually sipping his tea "You're going to be Judge at a talent contest said by Lady Yae" Ayaka said and Ayato nodded "I will help you out with the preparations! But let me finish my tea first" Ayato said and Ayaka sighed.

Shinsuke then walked up to the firework shop, as Ryuunoske greeted him "Welcome to Naganohara fireworks! How can I help you?" Shinsuke walked closer to him and introduced himself "I'm Hiiragi Shinsuke, the head of the Tenryou commision. I'm here to place an order for an upcoming event by tommorow" Shinsuke said and Ryuunoske widdened his eyes "Oh, its a pleasure to be at your service! Please wait here for a moment" Ryuunoske then opened the door of his shop and called for his daughter "Yoimiya! We have a special order coming from the Tenryou commision!"

Yoimiya then came running out of the shop "from the Tenryou commision?! What for?" Yoimiya asked "Hiiragi-sama said its for a Festival" Her father said. Shinsuke turned around to face Yoimiya "ahh, Yoimiya! Just the person I needed" Yoimiya them came up to him and started talking about the Festival.

Ei and Yae Miko were still standing outside of the palace. Yae Miko looked down when she saw Ei's face darken "What happened next?" Ei asked and the fox gulped "uhm... the Festival was doing great and nice, no dangers or accidents were commited during that time" Yae said and continued the story

(At the Festival)
The streets of Inazuma City was crowded by people. The whole place was decorated, food stalls next to each other, and prize games for people to enjoy.

Ayaka was dragging Ayato inside the City, forcing him to go to the Festival "brother, Please stop being stubborn, you're not a child anymore" Ayaka said, as she struggles to carry the man.

Ayato stood up straight "ugh, fine! I'll go. Stop dragging me in the floor, you're going to make my clothes look filthy" Ayato said, dusting his clothes. He then walks into the crowd and everyones gaze went to him. Everyone awed at the handsome man walking through "is that Kamisato Ayato?" "He's so handsome~" "How badly I want to be his servant" "Oh to be his sister".

Ayato became frustrated but kept a smile on his face "See?! I think they saw the smudges of my clothes" Ayato whispered yelled at Ayaka "I dont think its not what they were thinking about" Ayaka said and covered her mouth with a fan.

Yae Miko then spotted the two and came up to them to greet them "Ara Ara~ Ayato its been so long since you last set foot of Inazuma City" Ayato fake a smile 'No, not this flirtirous Kitsune again. This is why I did'nt want to part take in this event' Ayato said to himself and he felt Yae Miko nudged him in the shoulder "Well, have some fun in the Festival before the contest starts!" Yae Miko said and walked off.

The night of the Festival was fun and Inazuma City was now filled with happiness.

Bonus:
(The time of the contest)
Ayaka and Sara was now waiting for the other assigned judges to arrive. Ayaka then spotted Chisato making her way to the backstage "Ms. Chisato, may we know where's your father?" Ayaka asked and Chisato said "He excused himself and gave the possition of judge to me" Chisato said and Ayaka nodded "Ugh... where's Ayato? The contest is about to start" Sara said "I will go look for him. Please tell the host to give me 5 minutes to find Ayato" Ayaka said and she walked off.

Ayaka spent 3 minutes on finding his brother and she was exhausted "Where did my brother gone to? Did he snuck out and gone back to the estate?" Ayaka wondered to herself and decides to just go back to the stage.

Ayaka was about to go back, when she caught a glimpse of a small crowd nearby. Ayaka got closer to it and heard loud shouts of men betting mora over a... onikabuto?

Ayaka approached the small crowd and deadpanned when she saw her brother with Arataki Itto having a so called 'tournament' of onikabuto.

Ayaka then pinched Ayato's ear "brother! Did'nt you remembered that there's a contest and you're one of the judge?! Everyone's been waiting for you!" Ayaka yelled at her brother "Ow ouch!" Ayato exclaimed, standing up from his crouching position and Ayaka let go of his ear.

Ayaka then dragged the whining Ayato to the place where the contest was held and Ayaka tied him into a chair and she also gave him a flask; inside is herbal tea.

The contest began and Ayato barely keeps up because of his sleep slowly taking over him. Ayaka just facepalmed and tries to enjoy the night of the Festival.
