## Plot

The day of the Founding Festival has arrived, and Ryoma walks the streets in awe. He later pays a quick visit to Miya and Asagi's stall.

Returning to his shop, Ryoma catches Prenance, and some of his troupe members play instruments. After this performance, they advertise Ryoma's music box, and Ryoma meets with Serge, who was also there. They briefly talk about the successful sales of Ryoma's music box, and when Ryoma checks on his own stall, he's left astonished at how popular it is.

Helping out Callum and Jane for a while, Ryoma then asks Dolce to take over. Jane then asks Ryoma to get more stir fry and grain tea from Chelma. When Ryoma does, he runs into Beck as he leaves the kitchen and asks that Chelma prepare some stir fry and Fina prepare some grain tea.

Outside, Worgan checks up on Ryoma and sees Beck and his companions hard at work. Realizing that Beck's group has been working non-stop, and asks that Worgan escort Beck's group around the festival. Despite Beck's protests about there being too much work for them all to take a break, Tony, Carla, Lobelia, and Caulkin take over.

Later, in Ryoma's office, Carla informs Ryoma about how everything is going at the second shop. Carla also insists that Ryoma take a break too, as it's his first festival. However, before Ryoma does that, he first checks on the ice sculpture and is soon joined by Prenance, who expresses his gratitude toward him.

Outside, before Carla can suggest that Ryoma take a break, they're interrupted by Serge and Pioro, who ask to talk with Ryoma for a bit. Although regretting it a bit after he agrees to do it because he promised Carla to take a break. Ryoma talks with Pioro and Serge about his grain tea. After they learn that the grain originated from some of his employees' hometown, Ryoma informs Fina, Jane, and Maria about it Pioro and Serge's interest in it.

After this, Ryoma visits Asagi and Miya's stall, where he tries and enjoys their Tenmuso and Miso soup. Just then, a lost boy appears, crying for his mother. Although Ryoma asks the child basic questions about where he's from and who his mother is, he cannot say. Asagi believed that the boy was from another town, and Ryoma decided to take the boy to the Guard Station.

Walking around the festival, Ryoma learns that the boy's name is Theo, and Ryoma talks about his backstory to Theo. They soon run into Glissela, who talks about how well Ryoma has adjusted to the town since he came from the forest.

Eventually, the two reach the guard station, and Theo reunites with his mother.

That night, Prenance and his Troupe put on a performance. While that goes on, Ryoma prepares a new dish with Chelma called fried noodles in the kitchen. Callum soon enters and informs Ryoma that Prenance and his Troupe have yet to arrive, hence Ryoma decides to check up on them. When he does, Ryoma sees them decorating a divine statue of Manoailoa, the god of wind. Their decorating the statue is a show of their respect toward the god.

Afterward, Ryoma kicks off the afterparty and thanks everyone for their help and contributions toward it. Maiya then approaches Ryoma and asks if he'd like to partake in one last performance of the night, and he agrees.

Later, Ryoma approaches Serge and requests two special music boxes for Elia and Miyabi.
