At the same time Lu-el's group first encountered the naked, aroused undead in Labyrinth Canyon; back in Florescence Town.
A grand feast was being held in celebration of the Goddess's Trial.
From the morning after the opening ceremony and the parade of participants, the townsfolk prepared their offerings, shared their meals, sang praises to the goddess, whispered prayers for the good health of the Duchess and her husband, and cheered for the coming of age of the Duchess's heir.
All without knowing the horror the participants had encountered in Labyrinth Canyon—until that same horror rose within Florescence Town itself, at the town square where the center of the celebration was being held in the presence of Mio, Kanae, and Hanae.
"GAAHHH—!"
"GYAHHH—!"
