The customers on the first floor of the pet shop waited and waited, but the earthquakes from the legends just didn't come. After some time, they even looked forward to the appearance of a little vibration. Otherwise, wouldn't them calling their friends and relatives have been for nothing––just a bunch of made up rumors? Just the thought of being thrown in jail for spreading rumors… Their chrysanthemum would blossom into a sunflower…
Those who were the most active earlier were more terrified now than when they thought an earthquake was approaching. They quickly called and explained to their relatives and friends that they were just joking…
The rain outside continued at its own pace, and there was no sign of it clearing anytime soon.
