824 61 Days to Go (Side Story: Year 24 of the Arcana Calendar)

The lights on the Triumph Avenue of Rentato were just on. The wind at the late spring was still somewhat chilly as the night fell, forcing the passersby on the street to cover themselves more tightly.

Donnie pressed his black top hat and got off from the bright yellow bus. Roaming on the street that was as bright as day, he walked toward the "Knowledge Bookstore" near the Triumph Square.

"Has Herald of Arcana and Magic for this week come?" Donnie asked the bearded boss.

The boss, who had deep yellow hair, replied without raising his head, "No, and it will never come again."

"Is that so…" Donnie did not sound surprised. He simply heaved a sigh, as if he had seen it coming, with complicated feelings.
