VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?
Chapter 92: Night of festivities

The golden moon was a unique phenomenon that only lasted for a few minutes.

People of the Moongold witnessed it, bathed in its warmth, and when it was gone- and when the library event had concluded- the main festival began.

The town was covered in lights, streets were filled with people, and along with isolated mourning, joy enclosed the town.

They had just lost a lot, but they were not falling to the darkness anymore.

The people were with those who had lost someone, not leaving out of the festivities.

The monument that was made in the center of the town was covered in the mementos, flowers, and gifts of the children.

Streets were filled with young and old as they walked around the illuminated town, there was happiness in the air, the shops were earning from those excited, happy customers.

The night was young, and yet the inns and bars were full.

Those who did not or could not handle themselves alone were drowning themselves in alcohol. Those who had someone to rely on were spending the night and those who did not get to experience a festival's unique atmosphere were enjoying their time with their loved ones… or by themselves.

"Misha! That's enough running now…"

"Hehe, let's go there next~!"

Elio and Alex were looking after the young child who ran around with the little slime in her hand.

Her mother had retired home and they were soon going back as well, but before that, the little girl wanted to taste a few more things.

"How does she have so much energy, haaa…"

Elio was tired after running after the girl for an hour, but since Alex was having fun as well, she did not mind going on a little more.

There were a lot of things in the market, many vendors were practically giving away some stuff at base price, and even big shops were giving things at a discounted price.

They were leaving the town soon now that she had obtained what she wanted, but if she had the chance to stock up on a few more things before that, she was definitely not going to miss it.

"I'll be back in five. Take her to the toyshop while you are at it as well."

"What? Where-."

She had already vanished from his side by the time he looked back up at her.

The streets were full of people. There were noises all around and it was not easy keeping track of everything even with his heightened Mana senses.

All he could do was accompany them, but if they were going to just run around like that, he did not know what he was supposed to either.

"Haaa…"

After the golden moon, they had stayed back at the library to collect their rewards.

He was going to give them anything he wanted from his collection, and despite that, someone like her who understood the actual values of the things that he had, chose a simple world Map that had the power to replace whatever one wanted it to.

It was one of the oldest items he had and no appraisal scroll worked on it so he never knew just how valuable it was.

He could tell if she wanted something like that, then there must be something to it that even he did not know about. But, now that he has given it away, perhaps, he will never know its true value.

"Misha…" Elio was tired running around with her, but he knew her pocket money would end soon and she would have to go back.

She was spending her money carefully, tasting things where she can actually buy what she liked, but that would end soon.

She had only received twelve copper coins from her mom, which was a lot for a child like her, and even that was going to end.

Alex told him to take her to the toy store… and by that, she wanted him to take the little girl and the two little creatures to the item store.

There won't be many things that she could buy with the remaining three copper coins that she had, so he believed she might finish her funds on some silly things.

He wanted her to end this anyway. The hustle and bustle of the town right now wasn't that fun for her anymore.

He was tired already, and after spending an hour pondering what he should get from the library, he was tired even more.

"Muuuu~!"

"Miu!"

"Oh! That looks fun as well~! Brother Elio~. Where did sister go~?"

"She will join us-."

"Oh! Look at that! What are those shiny things~?"

She only stopped momentarily before vanishing once again. She was like a bumblebee, an excited bee high on pollen.

It was cute, especially with the slime and the excited gecko inside of it. She was enjoying, which was a rare sight that her mother would have loved– but she had seen her happy enough times today.

Now, she was gone and had placed her girl in their capable hands for this night.

She knew when she came back home, she would be tired. So, she had gone back after enjoying this rare night festival.

She had her acquaintances that had lost someone close to them that she needed to meet as well, so she was not around.

The two of them were looking after her daughter, and she knew they would treat her well.

"Haaa…"

But with Alex running around doing her own thing, he was looking after the children alone.

And he was getting tired of it now.

"What do you children eat to have so much energy!"

He ran behind her, again. Cursing his partner in his head for leaving him alone to deal with these active children.

The special object that he finally obtained from the librarian was not going to be helpful for him anytime soon.

At least though, he was happy that the street food here was decent enough.

His stamina was decreasing with each shop Misha jumped to, but since his fatigue was not increasing in proportion to that, he was doing fine.

It was difficult, but he knew he could manage the children at least until they got back to the inn…
