Chapter 11: The Winter Festival

After that, Lahar began looking for images of blood-boosting symbols in Watanabe Rin's book. After finding the image of the symbol in question, Lahar then began to draw it.

"Where should I draw this symbol?" tanya Lahar's.

"Di... Situ... Next to right" replied Watanabe Rin. His power is now getting drained.

"Well," Lahar then began drawing the blood-boosting symbol.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Coro Ocra is still seen looking for something that might be used as a clue about the incident that befell Genm Fred until he was dying. Right now, the only thing he thought was that Genm Fred must have been attacked by a very strong enemy, even that enemy was able to eliminate the right arm of Genm Fred. What's more, Coro Ocra also knows how powerful Genm Fred is.

While he was wandering around the Crimean forest, he saw a man sitting quietly on the edge of the lake fishing. The man's hair is already a bit mixed with gray hair, maybe about 50 years old. Feeling that the man might be able to give him a clue, Coro Ocra went straight to the man.

"Excuse me sir, sorry to interrupt your fishing time" Coro Ocra said upon arrival behind the fishing man.

"Oh what's the matter young man? You seem confused" replied the man without looking back. However, somehow he could know that Coro Ocra was indeed confused.

"He was right, sir. I'm actually trying to figure out what happened to one of my friends. Have you been in this forest since yesterday? Or just today?" ask Coro Ocra.

"Well, I was here about 3 days ago. I was taking a week off work so, maybe I'll still be here for the next 3 days as well" replied the man who still hadn't turned his head.

"Then, is it possible that by late afternoon, you heard the sound of a terrible battle around here? One of my friends was seriously injured because of the incident" asked Coro Ocra.

"Unfortunately young man, this forest and its surroundings are so vast. So, I have heard nothing for these 3 days except the sounds of animals and nature around me" replied the man again.

"That's it, then, if you'll excuse me, sir. Sorry for interrupting your vacation time" Coro Ocra went straight back into the woods to find out more clues.

It has been 3 days since the fateful incident that hit Genm Fred around the Crimean forest. However, until now Genm Fred is still unconscious. He was helpless in the intensive care room. In addition, the mystery about the perpetrator who made Genm Fred suffered severe injuries is also still not revealed.

At night at Lahar's and his father's residence.

"So, how's your senior doing? Still not conscious?" ask Jack (father of lava).

"Yes, not yet. I still can't believe that senior Genm can get hurt that badly. It was one of the strongest members in the guild. I couldn't imagine how strong the opponent he was facing was" Lahar replied.

"Neither, but from the wounds inflicted by Genm's senior. The scars look like incisions of a sharp object or maybe an elemental style that has the same characteristics as that" Lahar replied.

"Hahahaha the life of youth is indeed fun... I wanted to be young again hahaha," Jack suddenly laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing? You are very strange" said Lahar.

"Hahahaha again you said disrespectfully to your father this is well hahaha," Jack said.

Today is the day of the festival in all corners of the Yupa kingdom. Every city, both big and small, will definitely hold a festival called this winter festival with great joy. No exception in the city of Lahar residence, namely Hert.

The city of Hert was a small town located on the outskirts of the Yupa kingdom. The city of Hert itself is in the southeast of the Yupa kingdom.

Today, almost all residents of the city are enjoying this winter festival with great joy. They cook warm soup, hold parades, watch shows, and so on.

However, in addition to all that there is actually a very sad state, that the commoners are not allowed to join in celebrating this winter festival. These commoners still had to work such as preparing food, cleaning the city, and preparing everything for the needs of this winter festival. For the commoners, there is no day without work. In other words, they would work all year to survive.

Although these commoners worked all year, the wages they received were very small. The food given to them was also often just leftover food that was not eaten by the nobles.

Today, the Lahar guild got the task to be a security during the event. Lahar also gets morning and night shifts. He gets a shift to keep watch with Watanabe Rin. Their job is to keep the city safe from pickpockets, robbers, and criminals who infiltrate the festival this winter.

It's getting dark. Lahar and Watanabe Rin are getting ready for their second shift.

Please note, the peak event of this winter festival is at night where there will be fireworks, dance events, bonfires, music performances, and others. Because this winter festival is held at the end of winter, the weather is not too cold and the snow has begun to decrease.

"Tonight the weather was great. No more snowing. Perfect for the festival's top event" Watanabe Rin said.

"Yes I think so too. But... To be honest I really hate festivals like this" Lahar said.

"Eh hates festivals? Why?" ask Watanabe Rin in wonder.

"At a festival event like this, the difference in caste status becomes very noticeable. If the name was a festival, why were the commoners not allowed to join in for fun? Instead, they should keep working. In fact, their work at a festival like this will become more and more, right? That's one of the reasons I hate festivals like this" Lahar replied.
