Chereads / Tale of The Sad Ghost (English Version) / Chapter 36 - Magic Festival

Chapter 36 - Magic Festival

The atmosphere at the Summer Hotel is very lively. Kirana invites some of her friends from the stealth world to perform a magic show.

A musician from the stealth world appeared to demonstrate his skills in playing flute music. He is Moran, the nine-tailed fox demon from China. His flute playing really captivated the audience.

The music that Moran plays is life-lifting music. People who listen to the music will be enchanted, all the burdens of life that feel heavy on their shoulders are slowly lifted.

The audience closed their eyes when Moran played his flute. All the emotions, anger and fear, as well as fatigue in the audience's mind, have been lifted through the music played by Moran.

When Moran finished playing his music, everyone in the audience felt how calm they were. All the burdens that were before are now gone. After watching Moran's performance, the audience moved to the next tent to see another magic show.

There was very busy at night. Santoso, who is the manager of the Summer Hotel, was deeply moved because it had been a long time since the earthquake and small tsunami hit the Banten area, there was very quiet. Summer Hotel has long been empty of visitors. But thanks to tonight's festival, Summer Hotel is finally bustling again.

"Finally, after almost 3 years the hotel was deserted, now the hotel feels alive again", said Santoso.

Meanwhile, Denok was busy arranging the queue in front of Kirana's tent. In front of the tent was a sign titled "Forecasting the Future". Lots of people waiting in line. Looks like Kirana will be flooded with money tonight.

As head of security, Limbur goes around the festival area to ensure the festival area is safe and under control.

"I've been missing festivals like this for a long time" said Limbur.

Limbur remembers when in the past he accompanied Kirana to see the harvest festival with Denok. Seems like a very long time ago. It didn't feel like he had lived that long. But it was not a problem for Limbur, because he had been trained since childhood to be Princess Kirana's bodyguard.

In the tents where street food snacks are served, there is Ara who is busy arranging the food supply. She looked like she was carrying a notebook and organizing the food supply. Meanwhile, Devan is busy being interviewed by reporters from several TV stations.

"Yes, the purpose of tonight's festival is to revive tourism in the Banten area", explained Devan to reporters.

"Then regarding the theme about magic, are all the performers really magicians?" asked a reporter.

"Of course not, the magic we mean here is because we put on the best show, then the best performance will bewitch all who come, so they can feel happy", answered Devan.

It's not wrong that Kirana has chosen Devan to be the person in charge of the event because Devan is really good at fighting tongues. No one should know the identity of Kirana and the other demons who performed the show that night. Because if it is known then the world of the demons will be threatened.

No one knew beforehand if on that day Erick also came to the Magic Festival. He did not tell Devan that he would attend. Erick was just curious about the Magic Festival that night.

Erick came wearing a mask that covered his eyes. He did that on purpose because what he knows at festivals is that there are usually a lot of single men and women who take the opportunity to get to know each other. Since Erick has decided to be single for the rest of his life, he doesn't want any woman to fall in love with him.

Unexpectedly, Erick became the last queue in front of Kirana's tent. Not long after, Erick was called by Denok to immediately enter the tent. Erick entered the tent. There was already Kirana sitting and waiting for the next customer.

When Erick walked closer to Kirana and looked at her face, Erick seemed to get a memory. Memories when someone wearing a Dutch colony army uniform walked in the flower fields together with a beautiful girl who was dressed traditionally like a princess.

"Please have a seat, sir" said Kirana.

But Erick still stood and stared at Kirana blankly. Kirana called him back.

"Sir?"

"Ah sorry, I think I've seen you" said Erick.

"Oh, but unfortunately I have never seen you".

Kirana thought that Erick was just a man who was trying to approach her. "This model approach is very old-fashioned", Kirana said in her heart.

Kirana begins to read Erick's future. She touched a basin of flower water. Kirana closed her eyes, then she saw Tama who was throwing a dagger at Erick's body. Erick fell and apologized to Tama. In Kirana's vision, Erick's face can't be seen clearly, so Kirana doesn't know that Erick has a face similar to General John Willem.

Kirana opened her eyes. She was still shocked by what she had just seen in her vision. She couldn't understand why in that vision, Tama killed this man. Kirana remembers that Tama died from being hit by a power pole. There's no way this man killed Tama so Tama has to take revenge. But does this man have anything to do with Nadia? Kirana hasn't found the answer yet.

"How is it, Miss? What will happen to me in the future?", asked Erick.

"Be careful with curious spirits, I see your quarrel in the future", said Kirana.

"Curious spirit, who is he?", asked Erick.

"According to my analysis, maybe in the future you will fall in love with a woman who is protected by a spirit so that he can harm you in the future," replied Kirana.

Erick had come out of Kirana's tent. He clearly remembers Kirana's advice. But he doesn't really believe Kirana's words, because his intention to be single for life is very firm and cannot be contested. He is unlikely to fall in love in the future.

But he remembers that Kirana is someone who can see ghosts as well as demons, maybe what Kirana said is true. But Erick didn't want to bother with what he just heard. He went to the food tent to taste the various foods at the festival.

While Kirana is still in the tent. He was still thinking about what the relationship with the man from earlier was with Tama. Why did Tama want to kill him? What will happen in the future? Unfortunately, she can't read other people's futures in detail. She could only read it briefly.

Magic Festival on that night has been closed with fireworks. Tama introduces Kirana to Nadia and Dewi under the sparkling fireworks that have been lit.

"This is my boss, her name is Kirana", said Tama.

"Hello, I'm Kirana"

Kirana shook hands with Nadia and Dewi. The Festival event is over. All the visitors who came were slowly leaving the Summer Hotel. Because Tama is on the committee, he can't accompany Nadia. Nadia went home without being accompanied by Tama.

While in the car park, Nadia sees Tama's sister named Citra. Nadia greeted her.

"Citra?"

"Sis Nadia? Are you here alone?", asked Citra, who is Tama's younger sister.

"Earlier I was with Tama too, but Tama continued to work so we were left alone".

"What? Tama?"
