The Moon Knight

Chapter 14: The Explosion at the Golden Pillar Building

"This is granny" said Lahar, giving 4,700 Hasq to the seller's grandmother.

"Thank you son" the seller's grandmother replied to Lahar.

"By the way, why does this store seem so quiet? Though the price of goods here is quite cheap," asked Lahar who was still curious why the shop owned by the grandmother was empty of visitors.

"At first this store is the same as the store in general where visitors arrive every day. But since 2 weeks ago, they knew that this grandmother was a commoner. Then they were no longer seen visiting the store. Grandma also did not know what was wrong with a commoner. Did those commoners not have the right to open a business? Did those commoners always have to be manual laborers?" said the seller's grandmother with a voice that is quite soft typical of the voice of grandmothers.

Lahar then looked to be frowning his teeth, he again looked so upset. He did not think only because this grandmother was a commoner, they did not want to visit this grandmother's shop anymore. "There must be something wrong with the people of this city" Lahar thought in his heart.

"Then, will the grandmother continue this grandmother's business even though no one has bought it?" ask Lahar again who is holding back the annoyance.

"Yes. Of course grandma will continue to run this business. This effort was built through a very hard struggle. Grandma did not want to give up just because of something like this," replied the grandmother who in the eyes of the twilight already looks so full of hope for the future.

"I'm happy to hear Grandma's answer," Lahar smiled, "in that case, I'm willing to go around again. Hope the stall is back to how it was."

Lahar then started walking back to patrol. Just a few minutes until the peak of winter is about to begin. He then decided to patrol around the square which will be used as the venue of the peak event.

***

"Teens... Teng... Teng.." The sound of a wall clock that indicates that it is now entering at 9 pm. The peak event will open soon.

"Pyuuu... Boooommmm, "the sound of fireworks gliding and exploding in the air. The fireworks that exploded, look so beautiful like flowers that bloom in the dark night sky.

It was seen that every citizen of the city was enjoying the fireworks show. Currently, all the residents who were surrounding the square which numbered in the tens of thousands of people, were simultaneously staring towards the sky simultaneously.

And so with Lahar. Lahar, which had previously been patrolling around the square, is currently pausing to see fireworks over the horizon.

Elsewhere, Watanabe Rin and Ozas were also seen enjoying the fireworks display. This time, in Ozas' right hand there is already a cotton candy which is larger than the head of Ozas himself.

"What a beautiful firework" said Ozas with sparkling eyes looking up at the sky.

"Yes hehe" replied Watanabe Rin.

After the fireworks were completed, the entertainment stage and dinner party for the entire population except for the commoners began.

"Boooooooommmmmmmm," suddenly a huge explosive sound was heard breaking the excitement of the current atmosphere of the city. The sound of an explosion that then appeared high black smoke came from the Golden Pillar building (the main building of the Mayor).

The atmosphere that was once full of joy and laughter, now turned into very gripping. The screams of the residents who were around were immediately heard so loudly. They shouted as they continued to run away from the center of the explosion.

In contrast to the residents, the guards of the guilds that had been hired to guard were now seen swiftly heading to the center of the explosion. Likewise with Lahar, he is also currently seen running towards the center of the explosion. Aside from the guards from the private guilds, the guards from the royal soldiers who were on guard also headed to the center of the explosion.

"What kind of brother was that? Why does it sound so horrible? I was afraid" said Ozas who immediately embraced Watanabe Rin who was next to him.

"Don't be afraid of Ozas, boys shouldn't be whiny. Now calm down first yes, let brother check it first there," said Watanabe Rin whose face now turned serious.

"Sister don't go, don't go" said Ozas, who still hugged Watanabe Rin tightly.

"But brother has to go Ozas. This is already a big brother's job. Brother promise, after the brother's business is finished, brother will immediately meet Ozas again and help Ozas to find Ozas' mother again" said Watanabe Rin.

In the end Ozas let go of his embrace slowly. With a heavy heart, Ozas gave up Watanabe Rin to go about his duties.

"Alright, but I promise you that you will come straight here again to meet Ozas," said Ozas with teary eyes.

"Yes, I promise, but you promise not to cry either" Watanabe Rin said, pointing her little finger at Ozas.

"Yes, I promise" Ozas said, holding back his tears and immediately welcoming Watanabe Rin's little finger.

After that, Watanabe Rin rushed at full speed to the center of the explosion. Currently, he was trying to contact Lahar by using a Connecting Bottle, but somehow it always failed.

***

Elsewhere, Lahar is now at the epicenter. Right now, the Golden Pillar building looked to have been destroyed and in disarray. It is not yet known how many people were affected by the explosion. However, it has been confirmed that the Mayor and Vice Mayor were still safe because when the explosion occurred, they were both in the square.

Presently, on-duty guards are seen investigating the cause of the explosion. Furthermore, they were also a little surprised at being able to pass like this. They are now looking very seriously into the case.

"Auuuuuuu," the voice of the wolf roar suddenly echoed which added to the atmosphere becoming increasingly gripping.
