Mag stood at the center of the stage, and announced, “In my hometown, we celebrate a festival known as the moon festival. It’s said that the full moon in the middle of autumn is the roundest and brightest in the entire year. Everyone on the entire Norland Continent would be blessed by the sight of the same bright and round moon. As such, everyone gets together to enjoy mooncakes and do some moon-viewing. This is a festival of reunion for everyone.”


  A shiny golden microphone had been positioned in front of him in a microphone stand, and two spotlights had been aimed at him, creating a strong stage presence.

  A full moon with the appearance of a white jade plate hung high in the sky. There were a few clouds drifting overhead, but none of them was obscuring the moon.

  “What an interesting festival. Now that I think about it, the moon really does appear to be at its roundest and largest at this time of the year.” Luna glanced up at the full moon before appraising Mag with a curious gaze as she thought to herself, Where is Mr. Mag’s hometown? I’ve never heard of such a festival being celebrated in the Roth Empire.

  “Reunion, eh?” Elizabeth murmured to herself. She looked at Yabemiya, who was standing beside the stage, and a slightly lonesome look appeared in her eyes. In this world, it was very likely that a half-sister was the only relative that she had left. She knew what kind of person her father was. If he were still alive, he definitely wouldn’t stand by and allow the things happening among the Frost Dragon race to continue.

  Initially, she was only trying to fulfill her father’s dying wish, and she didn’t harbor any feelings for her so-called sister. In her eyes, it was her half-sister and her mother who had stolen her father away from her. However, a hint of emotion welled up in her heart upon hearing Mag’s words.

  In this world, her half-sister was perhaps the only person she could rely on and confide in.

  Even though it was unlikely that this half-dragon girl on the stage was her half-sister, she was still struck by an indescribable sense of intimacy when she looked at her, even to the extent that she wished that Yabemiya was actually the one that she was looking for.

  Reunion…… I wonder if my mother misses me…… As for Father…… Sally stood beside the stage and looked up at the full moon. An even brighter and larger moon could be seen from the Wind Forest. A slightly sour expression appeared on her face as she thought to herself, He only sees me as a bargaining chip that can secure greater benefits for the family.

  Her gaze then fell on Anna, who was staring blankly up into the sky on her own, and she was struck by a sense of sympathy. She clenched her fists, and thought to herself, She must be missing her grandfather or her parents. All of these tragedies have been caused by those selfish families in the Wind Forest. Similar things are happening all over the Norland Continent. There must be countless elves who are unable to reunite with their loved ones due to this oppressive regime……

  The people below the stage were all looking up at Mag with different expressions on their faces. Some of them held tightly onto the hands of the people beside them, while others were looking up at the moon with dejected expressions on their faces. Perhaps somewhere far away, the people they were missing were also looking up at the very same full moon in the sky.

  Is…… Is that Alex? Louis was also in the crowd, and he wore an uncertain look on his face as he stared up at Mag.

  Back when he had taken Alex to Chaos City three years ago, his body had been completely crippled. All of the meridians in his four limbs had been severed, and even though they had been reconnected, he was still so feeble that he couldn’t even walk normally. The diagnosis was that nothing in this world could help him recover.

  Furthermore, he had undergone extensive cosmetic surgery, including alterations made to his vocal cords; his face had been entirely covered in bandages at the time, so Louis had no idea what he was supposed to look like. Even the magic caster who had performed the surgeries didn’t know what Alex would look like afterwards.

  Looking at the man on the stage, his appearance, disposition, and voice were completely different from Alex’s. Only his figure and height were quite similar to Alex’s during the height of his powers.

  However, the meridians in Alex’s limbs had all been severed, and recovery was deemed impossible. He was destined to be disabled for life, so how could he possibly be standing on a stage, walking in such a languid and graceful manner?

  Alex very rarely smiled, and was not good at speaking in public. He didn’t know how to make mooncakes, and there was no way he would become a restaurant owner, nor did he hail from a hometown that celebrated a moon festival.

  They had fought together as comrades for many years, and he had never heard Alex mention anything about a moon festival. In Alex’s mind, the only special meaning a full moon held was that it was when vampires were at their most powerful and when wicked dragons often came out to wreak havoc, as well as when an opportunity for orcs to launch an attack against the empire’s borders presented itself.

  As such, there was no way that this man was Alex!

  Louis was absolutely convinced of that conclusion. However, a confused look then appeared on his face as he thought to himself, If he’s not Alex, then where did Alex go? If he only rented this place to this man, then perhaps I can find Alex through him, but if he sold this place, then it would probably be difficult for me to find him ever again.

  Narson made his way through the crowd with a dark expression, paying particular attention to every child and suspicious man. However, his search was proving to be a fruitless one thus far, and all of the Black Falcons in the crowd were also in the same boat.

  He was sure that setting a half-elf girl as their target was a step in the right direction, but it was a very difficult task to try and find a half-elf girl in Chaos City, which had a population of close to 1,000,000.

  “Welcome to Mamy Restaurant’s moon festival celebration. Next, please enjoy the dance ‘Summer is Here’ performed by our adorable female dance trio. Please give them a round of applause!” Mag announced with a smile. The lights immediately dimmed, and he placed the microphone back onto its stand before exiting the stage.

  “Go, Amy!”


  “Amy! Amy! Amy!”


  “I’m super looking forward to watching Amy and the two big sisters dance; it’s going to super amazing to watch!”


  The impromptu children’s cheerleader squad beside the stage had been completely set alight.

  “Little Amy is so adorable!”


  “I don’t know if my heart will be able to handle watching Amy dance!”


  “Ms. Miya and Ms. Aisha are also dancing, right? Amy dancing with two supermodels; just thinking about it is making my heart rate spike!”


  All of the customers below the stage were also getting very excited.

  Right at that moment, the spotlights lit up again, shining down on the center of the stage. Amy was holding a spread-out foldable fan as she stood at the center of the stage in her kimono and wooden clogs. Sally and Yabemiya were also wearing kimonos, and they were standing on either side of Amy in a graceful pose with fans in their hands.

  “That’s……!” Louis’ eyes immediately widened at the sight of Amy.

  “A half-elf girl!” Narson and the other Black Falcons exclaimed.
