Chapitre 77: Unstable Monster

"He's... back!" A moosh suddenly yelled, unable to contain his excitement.

The others looked at him with skepticism, not knowing if it was their place to celebrate.

Hanzo turned, "Celebrate, people!" He said with a bright smile, "Your Mayor has returned!"

People's eyes lit up with awe... and after a second of silence, the entire crowd suddenly erupted into a reverberating roar of excitement.

Malon rose from his father's embrace.

"Wow... you got old. Have you found a wife yet?" His father suddenly said, chuckling slightly as he pushed himself to sit up.

"W-what? No... I haven't." Malon replied, slightly thrown off by the question, but happy that his father hadn't seemed to have changed one bit.

His father's eyes quickly filled up with astonishment as he saw the entire room filled with knights, common folk, nobles, and all.

He scanned through the crowd and felt a warm bud of joy light up within him.
