Anton was surprised to learn that the event would be open twenty-four hours a day for the next three days. He was flabbergasted at the amount of planning that Antonia and Lucia did to make sure that the workers would work seamlessly in making sure that the place was kept pristine and that those who were hired as guards would work in shifts seamlessly as well.

  He knew that he should not have been surprised since they would only stop on the Islands of Norbuna for the next five days, and after that, it might take several years, even decades, before they could return to this place, so in a way, this was also a farewell party from the Amelia to people of Norbuna.

  During dinner, Anna used her mini raven to find out where their father and the others were, and with Andrea’s request, Lunelle used hers to find Andrea and Anton’s other friends' families. They gathered at the restaurant where they ate lunch and were glad that the tables that were prepared by the ship’s merchants were the huge ones that mimicked the tables from Bilbo Baggin's birthday party in the Fellowship of The Ring movie.

  Even Antonia, Lucia, Philip, and Walter joined them, and Nemina, Lucas, Colin, and Frederick arrived from the cinema next door. Dinner was boisterous, and it showed that everyone truly enjoyed the Cosplay Event.

  Antonia told everyone that the ship’s merchant was ecstatic at the amount of coins that they had earned so far and couldn’t wait for the next day since the locals who had seen the films would start going to the Cosplay Event venue. After dinner, they continued enjoying the event.

  “It’s like we visited the world of the Lord of The Rings as tourists,” Andrea said to everyone, and all of them agreed.

  The decorations were truly exquisite, and Anton kept reiterating them in his mind since he was truly impressed. When he suggested the Cosplay Event, he didn’t know that Antonia and Lucia were this capable, but he should not have been surprised. They had been handling some of their family’s business for a while now, and they had experienced a lot of things doing that. More than likely, this event did not even test what they were truly capable of.

  Anton took note of this and told his father that he and Nemina should study how Antonia and Lucia handled this event since they could learn a lot from this or, better yet, in the future, if they would hold something like this again, they would have to implore Antonia and Lucia’s help since they were truly capable.

  After dinner, Anton and his friends separated from their family again, but this time, Anders asked Anna, Lunelle, Ramona, and Belinda to join him. At first, Anna complained, but when their father told her that she should allow Anton to have time with his friends, she relented and followed her father to where he was going.

  Anton and his friends found a mini pub reminiscence of The Prancing Pony in the first movie, and they stayed the rest of the evening there drinking ale and talking about a lot of things, just like ordinary youths from any world would do. Torun and Soren complained that they had to keep their talks clean because of Andrea’s presence, and that made Andrea slap the back of her head, which made Anton laugh so hard.

  A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

  Since they opened it up, Anton mischievously shared the information that he shared with the men in the family.

  “Did you know that in the world where the movies came from, they had filmed all sorts of movies? Even the dirtiest ones,” Anton faked, whispered to Torun, Blake, and Soren. Andrea glared at them since she overheard what he had said.

  “How dirty?” Soren whispered.

  “As in, you can see everything a couple would do in the bedroom and very closely at that to the point that you can see even the tiniest of hairs in the man and woman’s private parts. Imagine those couples being extremely experienced,” Anton whispered but decided to stop at that.

  He only gave vague descriptions, just like what he told Devon and the others. He had no intention of showing any pornographic show to anyone since there was really no need for him to do so. Those who wanted lewd things could get them in this world as well since there were clearly brothels in any city, and even the Amelia had several. He only told his friends about porn to tease them, and since Torun, Blake, and Soren were teenagers, that information alone was enough to titillate them, and that made Anton highly amused, which meant he reached his goal in sharing that information.

  Andrea snorted, and Anton kept laughing. Soren kept persuading Anton to show them even just one porn film, but he just kept shaking his head and laughing. Soren only stopped when Andrea threatened to tell Soren’s patriarch about his intention of wanting to view lewd things.

  Blake whispered to Anton that they were not allowed to go to the brothels yet and would only do so if they were independent of the family, meaning once they were able to earn coins by themselves.

  After that, they return to talking about movies that Anton had seen. He told them about Avatar, The Star Wars films, the Harry Potter films, and more, and the conversation took them until the wee hours of the morning.

  Anton joined his friends in walking back to where everyone was staying so he would know which inn they were staying. Once they safely arrived there, Anton said goodbye and returned to the hotel where his family was staying. He did notice finally that the smile never left his face, and that meant that the event was a success in making him happy.

  Even after he was in his bed, he kept remembering all the things that happened that day, and Anton was glad that everything was recorded by his Globe of Browser Sharing spell since he would have a video of one of the very few events that made him happy.

  The next day, Anton woke up at around nine in the morning from the tapping noise that came from his window, and when he checked it out, it was Andrea’s mini-raven. The letter attached to its leg said that they were already downstairs waiting for him, so he quickly took a shower and joined his friends.

  They didn’t eat any breakfast since all of them wanted to eat the breakfast food that the merchants prepared for the Lord of The Rings Cosplay event since everything they had made was specially made for the theme of the event. They wanted to experience how the people from the world of the Lord of The Rings ate even though they knew that the food was just imitations.

  They arrived at the venue at exactly the time it was opened, but all of them became a bit apprehensive at the amount of people in the location. The locals were there already, and all of them, without exception, were already wearing costumes from the film franchise that they had just seen yesterday.

  Anton was truly flabbergasted, wondering how they were able to come up with a costume in just a few hours. Andrea reminded him that most of the costumes were made by the merchants from the Amelia since the merchants wisely stocked up a lot of merchandise that would fit with the event theme.

  Funny enough, most of the passengers looked annoyed, mostly because the competition for the best costumes exploded. Anton closely examined the costumes and accessories that the locals were wearing and was impressed again at how well everything was made since even though what they were wearing was off the rack; the locals were able to modify the costumes enough that they looked flattering on them.
