Ivadi was just a little bit worried when Anri decided to confront the hooded man. something inside him told him that even though he didn't have magic potential, that didn't stop him from being dangerous, but he knew both of them had good hearts despite their differences so he decided to let it go. when he turned his attention back to Felicie she was already looking at a jewel vendor eyeing a beautiful necklace which matched her eyes “Oh Ivadi, perhaps you could purchase that alluring necklace, I simply must have it!” she said happily as Ivadi sighs with a nod ["welp, ooks like i'll have to save even more cash, oh well."] he thought as he nods "Of course milady." he said with a smile as he purchases the necklace for her

[KillMoves]

Assassin's thoughts were interrupted when a feminine voice spoke to him. He turned to the speaker and almost gasped when it turned out to be the Jinko student from the group. It seemed she did something about his presence after all.

“Hey, I’ve noticed you around here and there. You’re apparently just someone who works at the cafeteria part-time, in addition to always being around Peter. Your actions here at the Citadel warrant some suspicion. Mind explaining?”

...the Jinko interrogated him.

Assassin was lost. He did not know what to do but he knew he needed to do something fast. Running was out of the question for that will certainly make him a wanted man as well as the Jinko may be quicker than him. An idea crossed his mind and wondered if it would work. It was the only option open so Assassin hoped it would work. So long as Mamono could not read minds and understood gestures.

Assassin first pointed to his mouth and shook the finger to mean he could not talk. He then pulled out a picture of Peter Culiar and shrugged to mean he did not know where the student was. He hoped the Jinko would buy his lie and not mind the camera-taken photo of his objective.

Felicie promptly wore her new accessory around her neck. Her face was filed with satisfaction, and though she did not show it she was quite grateful to Ivadi for buying the necklace for her. "Ah, this trinket looks quite nice on me, won't you agree Ivadi dear?" She placed a hand on her bust show as to show off the jewel on the necklace. The vampire seemed to be quite fond of her gift.

--------------------
Citadel Couttyard
--------------------

Anri looked as the man turned to face her with what appeared to be an expression of shock. It was hard to make out with the shades on his face. After asking her question, the jinko looks as the man starts to make various gestures and begins to pull out a picture of some sort. As it turns out, it's a picture of her fellow classmate Peter. From what Anri could tell, the man apparently was mute and he had come to the great bastion in order to look for him.

Anri thought the man's wordless story was somewhat strange. Most students who would come to the Citadel at this time would most likely be registering for the upcoming competition. To Anri's knowledge, Peter had no plans to participate in the tournament. This man who is always around Peter surely must know that. Strange that he would look for him here. However, perhaps the man has exhausted all other places in his search. That, and Anri could at least sense no hostile intent from the man. At least as far as she could see.

"Hmph, I suppose you're looking for Peter, huh? Sorry but he's not here. If you're trying to find him, why not go to the shopping district? I know plenty of rare vendors that have opened up there and have special discounts for students. It's plausible to think he'd be in that area." The jinko then turns to leave to returns to her friends. Before she fully leaves, she turns her head and speaks once more. "Good luck on your search and sorry to bother you so suddenly. I thought you might have been someone suspicious." With that, the jinko returns to within the Citadel's walls.

Although the ift was quite expensive, making his wallet take a hit, Ivadi was nonetheless happy when Felicie smiled "Ah, this trinket looks quite nice on me, won't you agree Ivadi dear?" she asked as she placed a hand on her chest to show off the necklace. Ivadi smiled "Of course it does milady, it really brings out the color of your eyes." he said

[Oersted]

(About time I stepped back in here.)
After working for a while more Seth looked at the time and decided that he should pack up and prepare to head out to the stand he'll be using during the festival, hopefully he would be able to get rid of the some of his special potions that were lingering in his inventory, of course it was kinda expected that they would linger as not many people seemed to want that kind of potions. It took him about 10 minutes but he was finally ready to leave, however when he was about to head for the door a woman came in, asking if anyone was there. Seth clicked his tongue seeing her, there just had to be a possible customer showing up as he was closing the shop, he then spoke to the woman "My apologies miss, I was just about done closing the shop. I'm afraid you'll have to come back some other time, or visit my stand at the Citadel." he told her plainly.

(EDIT:Sorry Killmoves, I didn't see that part with Annabelle you posted.)

[KillMoves]

As soon as the Jinko was completely away, Assassin took a huge breath. That was a close one. He was very glad that the Jinko bought his act and so the situation did not escalate and turn complicated. His gaze returned to the Citadel's walls and wondered if he should follow through with the scaling. His eyes then fell to the Citadel's entrance and figured the Mamono would smell him should he attempt to infiltrate the castle. He turned his back towards the Citadel, figuring he should just scout when it is completely legal to do so.

Assassin began to head back to the dorms. He pulls up his hood and removes his shades, returning him to his default appearance.

ELSEWHERE

The store owner, a man with a healthy physique, dark brown hair and blue eyes, told Annabelle the the shop has just closed. However that did not stop the cannibal. In fact, it was a perfect opportunity for her. The blonde woman fully entered the shop despite it being closed. "Awww come on. Can't you entertain just one more customer? I promise I'll make it worth your while." Annabelle begged the owner seductively.

[Oersted]

Seth looked on as the woman practically begged him, unamused he replied "Arumph! I told you, the shop is closed, if you really need to buy something go to my stand at the Citadel later. Now get out so I can lock the door." he told her bluntly, that said Seth kept his eyes on the woman, waiting for her to leave. As much as he hated to lose a client he was already ready to leave and he'd hate to lose more time than needed, especially considering how much he paid for the spot he rented.

Anri, after her "conversation" with the man wearing shades, makes her way back to the Citadel. Luke sees Anri walking back toward the group and greets her. "Welcome back, Anri, I trust everything is well? Your leave was rather abrupt." Anri turns to the green-haired boy and speaks with a smile, "It was nothing, just chewed the fat with an old friend for a minute". The two then see that the Princess has finished registering and is making her way back to them.

"Ah, I see you've finally finished registering. Good, you were so slow I was beginning to worry!" Anri decides to make a light joke to greet Lisia, who is slightly amused by the jinko's antics. "Very funny, I'll have to remember the joke while we're in the tournament." Lisia notices that Ivadi and Felicie are near a jeweler. Ivadi seems to have purchased a gift for the vampire, apparently a necklace. Felicie showed if off by placing her hands on her chest.

"Those two seem to be having fun" Lisia said as she smiled. "Yes, they do make a cute little couple." Anri added to Lisia's statement. Luke interjects and poses a suggestion to the rest of the group. "You know, since things have calmed down here, how about we go over to the shopping district. I heard that some rare shops have already set up booths there." Lisia ponders for a moment, still somewhat concerned about some of her father's actions.

She eventually decides yes. "Sure, that sounds nice. Anri, would you like to tell Ivadi and Felicie about our little trip?" Anri replies with a playful comment, "Yes, your excellency, I will see to it post haste." Anri walks off to return with the young mage and vampire. Lisia then looks at Brendan, who had been rather silent for awhile. She decides to see if Brendan wants to join them as well. "Brendan, we planned on heading to the shopping district soon. Would you like to join us?"

Felicie, enjoying her new gift, notices Anri walking to them. "Oh, if it isn't the kitty, you need something?" Anri retorts in kind to the vampire's greeting. "Oh, nothing much little Miss Bloodsucker, just thought you and your boyfriend would like to join us for a trip to the shopping district." Felice of course is annoyed again by Ivadi being reference as her boyfriend but chooses not to respond to it this time. She turns to Ivadi, "Well, I suppose that's fine. My servant can buy me more gifts."

the two enjoyed their time together as Ivadi and Felicie noticed Anri approach "Oh, if it isn't the kitty, you need something?" she asked as Anri retorts to Felicies somewhat rude greeting "Oh, nothing much little Miss Bloodsucker, just thought you and your boyfriend would like to join us for a trip to the shopping district." she said prompting Ivadi to blush hearing that as Felicie looks kind of annoyed at ivadi being called that but she ignores it and turns to him "Well, I suppose that's fine. My servant can buy me more gifts." she said as Ivadi chuckles "Alright, I suppose I can spend some more time with my master while my other project is put on hold." he said as he had been working on another project but he needed to refine the magic battle armor first since this would be complicated.

Brandon raised a brow at Lisianthus when she invited him to go to the Shopping District with her entourage. "Hmm, well to be honest, I got nothing better to do. I'm as prepared for the tournament I will ever be so I have a lot of free time.", Brandon finally spoken. Although, he has an idea on how to increase his combat efficiency though it'll be too much time consuming for him to do so. "I could plan on my strategies in the tournament, but it'll consume too much of my time. I don't see a point anyway. Most of the time, in real life, we go into combat without knowledge of our enemy's abilities.", he stated his opinion. Granted, it would be beneficial to have information but there are cases where you have no choice but to go fight in the dark. "But whatever", he shrugged, "I might as well find something to pass the time at the Shopping District.", he finally agreed to the Princess' invitation.

Outside Throne Room

Ventreus stopped in his victorious tracks as the students mentioned something about meeting someone............OH RIGHT! He had a job to be doing! There was an actual reason he'd been requested to be here! "Ahem! Um...right...yes you are all correct. Please, follow me." He said as he regained his composure. He took a deep breath, and as he released it, he had an aura that was now readable and traceable emminate from him. Part of protocol for one under the king's service to gain an audience with him. So many people could hide their auras, and while the king can see past most of these covers, a powerful shade that exploits every loophole of sensing auras could be deceptively power, which in itself could be a danger to the king. The aura was a swirling pattern of light reds, deep blues, and faint yellows. It seemed to constantly be swirling, shifting, moving. He approached the throne doors, and upon placing his hands against the doors, opened them as he moved forward. The hinged throne room doors glided open, and the party quickly became visible to the eyes of the king as they approached the throne. "Good day to you, my liege. I came and brought the guests you've requested as soon as I got your message." The court mage took a few steps to the side, as he waved the small group past him, to address the king directly, as they were the ones who he'd wanted to talk to.

[Phantom77]

--------------------------
Palace Throne Room
--------------------------

The large doors of the royal chamber open and revealed the group of warriors that had been summoned to the Kingdom of Zauberheim. Whilst sitting on his throne, the Kings finally lays eyes on his visitors: Three out of the four fighters who are to participate in the tournament, Ventreus Allo the royal court mage, and Tibrus Heatherman the kingdom’s current head architect. He listens to Allo’s greeting as they all enter the throne room.

“Ah, at last, you’ve all come.” The King stands up and begins to walk toward the group of individuals. “I was beginning to worry that Sir Allo may have forgotten of his duties, his eccentric nature at times makes him lose sight of the objective at hand.” The King spoke in a somewhat jovial tone as he spoke of Sir Allo. King Reinhardt then turned his attention to the three warrior that his officials had summoned to the kingdom.

“I see three of the outsiders called here have arrived.” The King looks at them in the order in which he calls their names. “Ruecian: The Ghost of Arcana. You were the first one who Ventreus made contact with, correct? I hope things have been going smoothly for you so far.” He then turns to Henry. “Henry Hansees. You are a Hex warrior who hails from Heide, yes? My father had told me tales of that nation and its military prowess. I believe he also mentioned the Hansees household and its valor. I hope we can take this opportunity to establish peaceful relations with the nation of Heide,” And he turns to speak to Rielle, the white magician. “And you must Rielle Leonardo. If I’m not mistaken, you’re one of Sir Eli’s new assistants. Contracted by the Order officials here in the kingdom. I hope you haven’t gotten into any trouble thus far.”

Having spoken to all the warriors present he then turns to look at one of the magnificent stained glass windows within the throne room. Sunlight beamed through the glass, and along with the stained images, created a radiant shine within the room’s walls. Reinhardt then glanced an eye toward Tibrus, who he had nearly forgotten was also on his way here. “You’ll have to forgive me, Tibrus, in my desire to see the outside warriors I forgot that I was expecting you as well. I assume preparations for the festival in the town and at the Citadel are moving as planned?”

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Ruecian stoically responded to his name and title being called out by the King. “Yes, that is correct. I made contact with Allo while at the school earlier today. I then met with Sir Tibrus and was able to register for the tournament without trouble.” He wasn’t well-versed in royal decorum, so he ended up formally greeting the King lastly. “It is an honor to meet you by the way, the esteemed ‘Rayearth of Jormungandr'”.

Lisia heard Brandon’s answer and was pleased by it. “That’s good to hear, Brandon. Why don’t we all have fun?” She was glad that Brandon finally wanted to socialize with his fellow students. Luke was himself was somewhat shocked that Brandon actually agreed to come, as he was under the impression that he felt resentment toward the student council members. Nonetheless, he gave a simply reply of conformation along with the Princess. “I see. Very good, then.” The two begin walking toward the exit. Luke calls out to Anri and the new couple, who he sees off a little ways in the halls. “Hey we’re leaving! Try not to fall behind, yes?”

Anri hears Luke calling out. She looks at Ivadi and Felicie as she begins walking. “Well, we’re about to head out, try not to keep the rest waiting.” Felicie begins walking as well. “Come Ivadi, everyone’s leaving and I won’t have you lagging behind.”

Lisia turns to Brandon as she makes her way to the entrance of the Citadel. A warm smile shows on her face. “Coming?”

once everyone made their call they started to leave “Come Ivadi, everyone’s leaving and I won’t have you lagging behind." Felice said as Ivadi smiles "Of course Milady, i'll always be by your side." he said as he followed her out with the others. honestly this was the first time he has ever gone out with such a group of people before, or any group at all

When Lisianthus gave him a warm smile, he was reminded of his mother. He shook his head to rid of the image before responding, "Yeah yeah, I'm coming.", he stated nonchalantly as he followed Lisianthus out of the Citadel. Though, he finds it odd that the first thing that came to mind from a warm smile was his mother. Then again, he never was the one to socialize with others. Hell, he has been known to be aggressive towards some of his fellow classmates. Getting a warm smile is rather alien to him after his mother had passed away. This made him start to think about how he had spent his time in Seraph Academy. If his mother was still alive, she would've told him to have more fun and get a girl or something. No, she would definitely tell him to have fun and get a girlfriend. She was kind of eccentric when he was little. The thought never crossed his mind until now since he tries not to think about the past. It's filled with nothing but sadness for him. Maybe he should give everyone a chance. Who knows? He might enjoy their presence. Though, he'll still be an asshole. Being alone for a few years can do that to someone like him. That and the people who know him personally would find it strange that he starts acting nice all of the sudden. Now realizing the revelation, Brandon cursed for not living right, "Damn, I screwed up.", he muttered.

[KillMoves]

"Arumph! I told you, the shop is closed, if you really need to buy something go to my stand at the Citadel later. Now get out so I can lock the door."

...the storeowner bluntly said.

Annabelle did not like the tone of the shopkeeper nor his eyes trained on her. The cannibal stared back before vanishing in a dim, purple light. The next thing the owner knew, Annabelle was now behind him. "You're pretty handsome so maybe you can escape with your life." The cannibal embraced the storeowner from behind. "Show me your inventory." She grimly and seriously ordered.

ELSEWHERE

The three outsider participants were formally introduced to the King of Zauberheim who called them out quite accurately. Rielle heard the king did not look his age and it showed. Despite being over forty years old, the man looked as young as his daughter. The White Witch was called last and it appeared he only knew that she was one of Sir Eli's new assistants. He asked if any trouble befell on her while in Zauberheim.

"Indeed I am under Sir Eli of the Order." Rielle bowed politely. "And I shall be honest Your Majesty. I have encountered a... less than savory character in my stay but nothing I cannot handle."

---Throne room---


Henry looked around at the architecture as they were being guide through the room by ventreus, he was impressed at it nonetheless as he and the others quickly were introduced to the king, he heard the king talking to Ruecian and then quickly turning to him and greeting him, he bowed his head a little before looking at him "Indeed, Heide is not very well known, if we can establish a relationship it'd be very beneficial, and thank you for mentioning my family, we might not be in the royal court but we are one of the major holds in the kingdom, I am honored for this opportunity King of Zauberheim" he said with a extremely polite and a tone fit of royalty etiquete, something he was taught back at home as a kid.

Tibrus gave a curt bow to the King; suspicions or not, the King was ruler of his home and deserved every respect. The smallest of smiles appeared at the Kings words.

"There is nothing to forgive milord, with current events it can be simple to lose track of something or another. We are human after all." A chuckle like huff escaped before he turned a little more serious.

"Preparations are moving as planned, in fact we are about 7-8 hours ahead of schedule. I may not be part of your court of advisers my King but personally, I would give the arena another look over to make sure the wards will all work as designed. We don't want them failing at any time given how intense some matches might be."

---------------------------------
Palace Gates - South Entrance
---------------------------------

The figure and mage escort had reached the very middle of the courtyard when the figure stopped. The mage had walked a few steps before noticing his charge had stopped. Turning back the mage found the figure had turned his cloaked covered head, gazing past the open gates.

"Wanderer? Is something the matter?" The mage asked with the slightest hesitation. He had no clue as to the figures thoughts, so what could give the figure-

"What be your name young mage?" Said mage perked in surprise, eyes widening in recognition.

"Oh! I-It's Verdanis milord. Verdanis Walleds." The figure looked towards the ground a moment before nodding.

"Verdanis...I will remember the name. I also must apologize. I must take my leave for a small moment. Don't fret however, I will return shortly." With that he turned and began walking back towards the gates. Verdanis was left gaping for only a moment before coming to his senses.

"Wait! What do you mean?" He reached out with a hand as a gust of wind blew from the side. He heard the distinct sound of displaced air before the figure suddenly vanished from sight. The mage paused, blinking at what just happened. He soon deflated.

"Master's gonna have my head for this."

--------------------------
Potion Shop - Outside
--------------------------

The empty street became occupied as a cloaked figure appeared in the centre of the street. The figure gazed about before settling on the open door of the potion shop. With a calm gait the figure approached the doorway and gazed inside, finding who he supposed was the shop keeper being held from behind by a beautiful woman. The figure's head tilted to the side in an almost curios stance. The dark abyss under the hood facing the pair.

"Dear me, have I interrupted something?"

[EndZoner]

Market- Potion Shop
---

"Bored bored bored...", muttered a hooded figure walking through the market. The figure is none other than Word Play. He has been walking through the kingdom to find something to pass the time. Ever since he left the Academy, he has been trying to find something interesting to do. He could have hunted down the Orderites that he was forced to leave behind in that Bar. Though, he doubt that they're have their guard down after their encounter with him. There's even a chance that they have notified their fellow Orderites about his presence. Despite having a reputation of hunting down and killing Orderites as a life goal, he knows when to lay low. Maybe he should hunt them down some time after the Tournament.

He decided to start browsing through the Markets to pass the time. He's not interested in buying anything, though some of the items on sell were quite interesting. Unfortunately, some of the shops that were interesting were closing for the day. Word Play noticed a Potion Shop up ahead that seems to be still open and decided to check the inventory of it. He also didn't bother with using his Nobody spell since he didn't really care if he gets spotted by anyone. It would help pass the time if someone were to confront him.

As he got closer to the Potion Shop, he noticed someone at the doorway. The figure appeared to be observing something inside. With his curiosity peaked, he decided to check it out. When he arrived at the door of the Potion Shop with the figure, he made his presence known, "Oi, what's so interes-", he cut himself off when he looked over the shoulder of the figure. There, behind the supposedly shop keeper, was the familiar woman he attempted to either capture or kill at a bar. "You!", he yelled as he pulled out a slip of paper and a marker. He wrote Bind in Kanji on the slip of paper. Flicking it into the shop, the symbol glowed before manifesting chains from the paper itself. The chains flew towards the shop keeper and the woman with the sole purpose of chaining down the woman.

[Oersted]

Waiting for the girl to leave Seth was taken by surprise when she suddenly vanished only to reappear behind him "What!?" was the only thing he had the time to say before she grabbed him, adding a threat in. Obviously, he wasn't in the best position, while she didn't seem to have a weapon Seth couldn't quite confirm if she did or not, but he didn't feel like finding out first hand. Following her threat the girl ordered him to show her his inventory, Seth scoffed, he wasn't about to just let her do whatever she wanted and it seemed today was a lucky day for him as another person arrive in the doorway, asking if he was interrupting something which caused Seth to quickly speak up "I'm being ro-" but he got cut off when yet another person arrived and then things got bad...

Apparently, this guy had a problem with the girl that was apparently trying to rob him, the man wrote something on a piece of paper and flicked the paper into the shop and through some kind of magic chains shot out of the it towards him and the girl, most likely the girl actually. Seeing this as a chance Seth grabbed the girl as best as he could and tried to move her so she would be between the chains and him, like this the chains just bind her and not him. Hopefully the chains would make her let go...

King Reinhardt listened as the outsiders and Tibrus each gave their responses to his greeting. This time he first looked at Henry, "Of course, it'd be an honor to connect with a nation full of such valor and nobility." The king then turns to Ruecian upon hearing the mercenary refer to him by his other title. “Ah, I see you know me by my other name. Personally, I feel the title while strong sounding, makes me out to be a little too intimidating. I’d like this to be a friendly meeting of sorts, if you don’t mind Ghost of Arcana.”

“Very well then, Your Majesty.” Ruecian responded with an emotionless tone.

Reinhardt looks at Rielle upon hearing about her little run-in with trouble. “I see, well let’s hope you don’t run into anymore ‘savory characters’ in the future. It wouldn’t look go if one of you outsiders where to draw unwanted attention.”
Reinhardt hears Tibrus explanation of how preparations for the festival are proceeding. He hears that they are good, which pleases him. “Ah excellent, I expected nothing less from you Tibrus. I appreciate your efforts in any and all city events, and of course your attention to detail.”

The King pauses for a moment before speaking again. His face has a slight look of disappointment upon it. “Well, I wanted to further discuss the meaning of your presence here, but it seems that one of you is still missing. He turns to Sir Allo and Master Tibrus upon his statement. “I don’t suppose either of you know of the whereabouts of the fourth and final outside competitor in the tournament? I was told that he was to have arrived by now.”
Hearing the mention of a fourth competitor was enough to make Rue speak again. “There’s a fourth competitor? Out of curiosity, who might that person be?” Ruecian briefly thought for a moment that it might the man he was searching for.

---------------------------
Shopping District
--------------------------

The group of Seraph students were making their way through the shopping district, which wasn’t bustling with as much activity as one would think. It was early evening and some shops were starting to close. Many of them were the special vendors that came for the festival. They most likely close early so as to setup shop at what space they rented at the Luminous Citadel, the sight for the Seraph tournament.

Lisia was walking alongside Luke and Brandon, with Anri not to far behind. Also with Anri were Felicie and Ivadi, the former scouting any shops that were still open. Felicie was becoming rather frustrated as she couldn’t find a special vendor that was open, and the shops that were open either didn’t have anything she wanted or simply didn’t meet her tastes. “Uuugh, this is unacceptable. Are there really no shops open that are worth my time? Ivadi I wanted you to buy me more gifts, but it seems are options are profoundly limited.”

Anri glanced at the vampire with a small chuckle. “You know, you could just lower your ridiculous standards and settle for a regular shop. Honestly, your pride make life so difficult.” Felicie was further annoyed by the jinko’s words. “Lower my standards?! How absurd! As an heir to one of the ruling families, I cannot simply lower my standards. It would bring shame to my family name!” Anri tried to hold back a laugh at Felicie’s words. “Shopping at a less than five star store would shame your entire family? How sad…”

Luke glanced at Brandon every now and again as they walked. He was curious as to why he suddenly would agree to socialize with his fellow students, especially those who were student council members. “Um, Brandon if you don’t mind me asking, why did you dec-” Luke’s sentence was cut short, as he heard some sort of commotion going on around the corner.

Lisia could sense several aura radiating in the same direction. One of them she recognized as Ms. Annabelle, the strange woman who they met at the Citadel. There was another that felt…strange. She never felt anything like it. It was being dulled in some way but it she could feel its presence. She also felt that it was steadily rising, mostly likely in response to Annabelle.

Lisia glance at Anri, who looked at her as well. They then nodded to each other, as they knew what to do next. Lisia turns to Brandon, “Brandon, I’m sure you sense what’s going on around the corner. It could be trouble! Stay here while Anri and I check it out.” Anri gives a quick glance at Felicie and Ivadi, “You two should stay here with Brandon in case we need back up. Lisia, let’s go!” Felicie tries to get out s sentence before the two go running off, “Hey wait a-” Of course, she was too late. “I really hate it when I’m ignored...”

With that the Princess and the jinko jet off in the direction of the auras. It didn’t take them long until they were in front of what appeared to be a potion shop. There they saw several figures. One was a hooded individual, he was just standing in the door way. Another man was also cloaked but he appeared more active. When they looked inside the doorway, they saw Annabelle holding a man hostage. The man appeared to be the store owner, and was struggling to break free of the woman’s grasp.

Lisia began to speak up, until she noticed magical chains that appeared to be spawning from a paper on the shop’s floor. Anri and Lisia watched as the chains made their way toward the man and Annabelle. Anri believed for a moment that all three individuals were plaguing the shop owner. She began to speak out. “Who are you people?! What do you want with that shop owner?!”
