Today was the 3rd day of the Rain Moon. In another day, it would be Absurdity Jester Valk's day of summoning. It would also be the annual April Fool's Day carnival.
Compared to the previous times William came here where martial law was enforced everywhere, Thorn City's streets had basically returned to normal. At the very least, there were no longer black-armored Bramble Guards patrolling the streets and searching for Moon Realm believers, causing everyone to panic.
Perhaps it was because April Fool's Day was coming; merchants selling bamboo slices and hard paper could be seen everywhere in the market. Many children in dirty and ragged clothes held a few crumpled copper coins in their hands and bought raw materials to make a beggar's crown from vendors.
