The Last Day of the Banquet

The next day.

The final day of the coming-of-age banquet.

Though there had been unrest in one corner of the capital on the first day, the many citizens paid it no mind. They put on masks and enjoyed the large-scale festival that had come around for the first time in ages.

Ah, correction.

For some reason, one doctor with drooping shoulders and a wistful gaze did tremble with fear as the doctor went ahead to wait at the appointed rendezvous.

The doctor later confessed that it was chilling when the child they’d once doted on like a little sister grew up and openly declared to the doctor’s face that she planned to pounce on them.

And since the doctor hadn’t actually said they disliked it, maybe they secretly liked it after all.

Mm-hmm, Yuria knows nothing.

Anyway, everyone, including one very lucky personal physician, went out in masks to enjoy the festival.

Everyone except the people here...
