THE FOUNDING FESTIVAL (8)

"SHOULD I knock them down?"

Quin, who was having a peaceful time while enjoying the meat skewer that he bought earlier, was disturbed by Xavier's unexpected violent thoughts. "Who?" he asked, then he turned to the merman walking beside him. "I'll help you bury them or something."

Xavier, who probably thought he was just joking, laughed softly. But the seriousness in his eyes remained. "I'm talking about the troupe that's about to perform the ridiculous play half an hour for now."

Right.

According to the flyer that they saw earlier, the play would begin in thirty minutes.

"Are you that worried about the play?" he asked the merman. "If you react strongly against the play, people would take it as affirmation. Plus, the play only says that the lead characters are nobles from the North. They didn't mention the Woosleys."
