Say...

Mm? What?

About that outfit of yours... You sure it's
supposed to be worn at a hot spring?

I mean, it's not like I know a whole lot
about hot springs, but that outfit looks
like it's more for going wild than relaxing.

You think? Maybe it's some country's battle garb!

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Look, it even
says “number 2” on the back there. Like
you're declaring your rank or something.

Oh, apparently that's an outfit you wear at
the Bon Festival. I read about it in a book.

Bone Festival?
Do they dance with bones...?

Everyone forms a circle around a special
bandstand, and they make lots of noise.

Oh, and there's food out on display, too!
I think it's some sort of festival of thanks?

That sounds... unique.

There are other writings about the festival, too.
Like, how many people would gather, dressed as
you are now, and carry around giant blocks.

And people would watch them, and shout
cheers to encourage them! Um, I think
they were, “heave ho!” and “hurrah!”

“Heave ho”? “Hurrah”? Do those words
have some sort of special meaning?
I don't think I've heard them before...

...Or maybe that outfit resonates with
those words, and generates some sort
of response with aer...

Hmm. Whatever the case, it looks like
these are very special clothes indeed!

No. Definitely not.
