**EXTRA LONG CHAPTER***
Tyr felt a wave of relief.
'It actually worked!' he thought to himself, glancing at the crowd and then at the merchant.
The crowd clearly loved it. Some even seemed to recognize Tyr:
"That's the one, right? The one who caught all those petals in one day."
"What? Are you sure? Inos wasn't really specific about the guy's description."
"He doesn't have to be! This is the guy, the one who stands around naked in the plum blossom garden."
"Now that I think about it... you're right!"
Some weren't so sure, but nevertheless, it was amusing to see their expectations be surpassed.
The merchant, on the other hand, was silent. Although it hadn't been long, Tyr could just see the man processing a dozen things in his head at once.
"No... no! This is not right! You cheated!" the merchant turned and pointed his finger at Tyr with a sour look on his face.
