That's it for today's meeting.

If there's nothing else, you may be dismissed. Remember to turn in your follow-up reports!

Celica waves over to you.

"World Folklore Enthusiasts"—do you still remember them?

Last year on the Double Seventh Festival, people in Constellia worked together with Pulao, Sophia, and Changyu to set up a commercial street. You were there as well.

This year, they're hosting another Double Seventh event in Constellia. It's rumored to be huge, and its branches from all over the world are coming to join in.

They've rented out an entire park for the occasion, dividing it into different sections. Each section features a distinct environment or culture—like Kowloong, the Polar region, or the desert...

They're holding a special Double Seventh event in each of these areas, making every zone feel unique.

The WGAA is on board too, saying it's the perfect chance to observe cultural diversity. They want someone to head over to the festival and gather some info.

Celica explains all this with a knowing smile.

Alright, no need for further explanation—it's pretty clear who they've got in mind.

We're bringing you in because of your previous collaboration with the World Folklore Enthusiasts.

No need to stress. This isn't an official task—just keep a casual record of what you see and hear as you enjoy the festival.

Oh, by the way, there's a special souvenir at this year's Double Seventh Festival...

Celica says this as she opens her terminal, which displays a simple yet elegantly crafted wooden keepsake.

The WGAA offers a reward for recovering these items. If you find any, I'd appreciate you bringing a few back.

There's a card-guessing game where you predict whether the next card will be higher or lower than the one already flipped. Guess right, and you win a prize.

Then I'm counting on you.

But most importantly, enjoy the festival. Take your time exploring.
