Frank, Harumi, and Erika moved to the Monk Clan territory, walking across several streets until they reached a large, closed area, connected to a shrine oftentimes closed from the public, close to a small mountain.
The moment they entered as the walls opened once Frank called, they were greeted with a large village that looked as if they had gone back to ancient Japanese times, although it didn't look rural, and it was a beautiful place with very fancy-looking buildings, especially pagodas.
"Welcome back Frank, coming early today, huh?" wondered one of the guards. "You brought Harumi and… the dog girl again."
"Dog girl?!" Erika said angrily. "Be more respectful of who I am!"
Erika roared angrily, showing her sharp teeth like an actual dog would do… this only made the guard giggle a bit more.
