Lanchi Drained Kali Yella Dry

When the dance ended, so did the ball.

Lanchi and Talia walked out of Pariel Notre Dame Church and stepped back onto the festival streets.

The night was already deep, but the lively atmosphere of Flower Capital Pariel had not diminished in the slightest.

Colorful lanterns still hung on both sides of the street, embellishing the night like a dreamscape.

Just then, a loud boom split the sky.

"..."

Lanchi and Talia instinctively looked up, only to see a brilliant firework suddenly burst across the pitch-black sky.

Then came a second, a third. In the blink of an eye, the sky was lit up by multicolored fireworks, like a blooming garden.

"Once you're gone, maybe I'll think of you whenever I see fireworks."

Talia murmured, the firelight illuminating her face.

"What makes you say that?"

Lanchi felt that those words did not sound like something Talia would say. They sounded more like the sort of sentimental sigh Hughberlian, a melancholy girl, might let out.

"Maybe you'll be making cards in the sky."

Talia looked at him as she answered.

"???"

Lanchi suspected that Talia was doing a quest here.

The two of them stood and admired the fireworks for a while before continuing on their way.

The fireworks kept blooming one after another, intermittently enveloping their figures in halos of dazzling color before fading again, turning into specks of ash that fell into the night.

And so, Lanchi and Talia slowly proceeded along the festival road, taking in the sights by the roadside.

Although it was already ten at night, there were still plenty of pedestrians on the streets.

Groups of two or three either stopped to admire the Silver Tree of Fire in the sky or gathered around the stalls to sample the food.

Laughter and exclamations of wonder
