"Gotcha!"
"EEEKKK!!! AH!—"
Ridan screeched, flailing in panic.
Two hooded figures stepped out of the shadows — the mysterious pair.
While Hazuki stayed completely unaware, still busy cutting goblin ears behind them…
"How's your day, Ridan?"
The younger figure smiled.
"Ugh!! It's you two again!"
Ridan hissed, still trying to pull his tail free.
"Let me go! I'm in the middle of something!"
The older figure calmly grabbed his cloudy tail tighter.
"Oho~ looks like someone wants to be sealed again…"
"NOOOO!!"
Ridan squeaked.
He wriggled but couldn't get free.
"You're pulling my tail! That's harassment! I will report you to the Spirit Union!!"
The grip loosened a little, but not completely.
"Listen, Ridan."
He gulped.
"...What now?"
The man took out a small scroll map and pointed with his finger.
"There's someone who wants to meet you."
Ridan's eyes narrowed.
"Who?"
"After this man—"
He pointed toward Hazuki, who was still arguing with a goblin ear.
