Chapter 26 - 14: Heading to White City (2)
From Salted Fish Port to White City, the journey took about ten days. These ten days passed in a flash for Gray. After all, for a lich, an accidental oversleep could turn into hundreds of years of hibernation.
Conversely, the ten days felt like a long nightmare for the Black Cat because it had to constantly deal with Gray. Or more accurately, Gray's endless stream of questions.
Standing under the night sky, Gray looked up at the full moon and asked, "Why is the moon a different color every day? Sometimes it's red, sometimes silver, sometimes blue?"
"There are three types of moons: red represents blood, silver represents luck, and blue represents peace."
"Is there any evidence for that?"
"If you ask me, who am I supposed to ask?"
"So you believe it without evidence?" Gray exclaimed in astonishment, with a tone of disdain in his voice.
This made the Black Cat exceedingly furious. It was one thing to deal with a fool, but it was unbearable for that fool to look down on you. This feeling was truly terrible.
...
Passing by a cemetery, Gray saw a funeral procession with people crying and asked, "What are they crying about?"
"When a relative dies, aren't you supposed to cry?"
