[For the most part, Ruca seems to be quite anxious. This is probably the first time he's finding himself in a very unfamiliar place without any of his friends around. Frankly, he would love to go back home, but he knows that's not an option. He can't run away from whatever is going on, even if it sounds scary and makes him worried...

The festival taking place seems like a perfect opportunity to keep Ruca's brain busy from thinking too much. He needs to get out there instead of closing himself off in his little world. He promised himself he'll do his best to be more outgoing.

When he makes his way to the bazaar curiosity quickly starts getting the better of him. There's so many things he's never seen before and food he's never tried. In a way the fear he's been feeling is left forgotten, replaced with Ruca's hunger for knowledge. Although cautious, he tries some of the food there. The first time goes well. The second time, it looks like he has nothing to worry either.

The third snack he tries gets quite a reaction from him. Ruca is not a picky eater, but if there's one thing that he can't quite handle it's spicy food. And this food turned out to be quite spicy.

The poor boy has his eyes water, his face growing slightly red, hands over his mouth. He looks like he's close to passing out.

Help.]

[Ruca isn't good at running. He's never been and despite facing countless enemies, fighting while using a huge broadsword and travelling all around the world that did not change.

The many activities on the beach seem like a lot of fun for someone who enjoys sports, but Ruca is not one of them. And yet he keeps on peeking at the list of races and games, his brow curved downwards in thought. Maybe... just maybe he could give it a go. Just to see if he's improved at all. Something had to change!

With that in mind, Ruca finally decides to enter one of the races. Maybe you're also taking part in it? Or maybe you're just watching? Regardless, the boy does make it to the end line. As the second to last spot. And tripping and falling over. Maybe falling into someone else.]

I-I'm so sorry!

[He's exhausted, but at least he wasn't the last!!]
