Chapter 12: Lumineria Festival [1/2].
Kein's POV
It was weeks after I had last seen Rose. I wondered how she was doing and every time I visited the marketplace there was this tinge feeling of expectation or hope that I'll suddenly meet that girl who was always wearing an adorable shawl that hides her face but never her kind eyes.
I glanced at the market that seemed to be in a rush. Everyone was now decorating their homes and putting white candles outside.
Hmm... Even some new stalls I don't recognize are here too.
I finally came by Veronica's store and for some reason her shelf was empty. I glanced at the shelves not knowing if it's a good sign or a bad sign. I walked closer to her stall.
I saw Veronica's figure not too far away with a man I've never seen before. He was talking with her happily and kissed her. "Hey, Veronica. Is business doing good?"
I waved and when Veronica saw me she suddenly hugged me hard. "Little charmer you came!"
