I could hear a soft growling coming from behind his mask, something I thought to be connected to Albion's irritation in dealing with such an infuriating predicament without having the chances of displaying his full abilities against the descendants of one of his greatest enemies back in medieval times.

There was no doubt that the young Lucifer was actually keeping the fury at bay, but for how long I was unsure about and… then I started to notice that something was just feeling too odd about the matter altogether.

While I had been keen to study the entire circumstance more than once, sensing that something just felt off about the scene we were facing, I was starting to spot some odd details about the two siblings' behaviors that just made me comprehend that this wasn't a normal tailing situation.

The two looked to be talking very barely, with Le Fay's smile twitched once or twice in a while in what looked a concerned look and with her brother looking particularly tense.

I couldn't perceive anything that could hint at an ambush, nor they were trying to lead us away from this crowded square and into a better place to enact an ambush.

Perhaps they were just studying us back? Maybe they were just trying to understand what was going on and my early supposition that the two had already joined Khaos Brigade was an exaggeration.

The lore never explained when exactly these two had left for the terrorist group, and it could've also be that they were just doing some simple activities that were correlated with their old group, the Golden Dawn.

One of the most important paranormal societies based in England, the organization was closely affiliated with Grigori, having look preferred to shy away from dealing with the clashes between Heaven and Hell.

Something that I would have to check with Armaros once we were out of that unpleasant situation, but for now it was best to keep a distant approach.

Just as we continued with our endeavor, I felt Vali briefly grazing my arm with his elbow, causing me to give him a careful glance as he continued to stare at the our targets.

"We're being followed."

The sentence was delivered in a soft, half-whispered tone, with his voice lacking any nervousness over the matter if not the serious edge related over the dangerous predicament we were facing right now.

I hummed quietly at that pondering at this new development since I hadn't felt anyone following us among the crowd we were moving through.

"Is this certain?" I inquired quietly, sounding a little bit tense and prompting a nod from the young man.

"Yokai or human?"

This next question seemed to get some confusion in Vali's mind as he gave me a long glance before sighing.

"Human."

Thank the Gods, I wasn't dealing with Kuroka… again. I really didn't need to deal with that kind of bad luck so soon.

Still, this tidbit was deadly useful as it gave me a proper understanding of the current situation and whom was possibly following us that very moment.

There was a third member of the Golden Dawn that would leave the group together with Arthur and Le Fay, and that very individual was Elaine Westcott.

Descendant to one of the founders of the group, William Wynn Westcott, Elaine was one of the maids serving the Pendragon Family, having been the first magical tutor to Le Fay when she was younger.

She was also in love with Arthur, said love returned by the bespectacled blond but sadly rebuffed by the head of the family as she wasn't 'worthy of that important position'.

That very detail was the main cause that drove the three to leave both the family and the Golden Dawn, ending up being scooped up by Cao Cao and the Hero Faction.

This was a curious predicament as this very development still didn't help in further assessing how much crap had hit the fan.

Still, I knew that continuing now to endear this little situation would probably end up badly for us and Grigori so… I had to get a little creating about it.

A simple trick to verify what was going on with the trio.

I had noticed just a couple of meters away from the two of us that there was a tourists' photographer with what looked to be a fairly odd camera device by his neck.

The idea appeared suddenly, one that wouldn't warrant any suspect from the three foreigners despite the suddenness it was based around.

Yet I couldn't just do it with how I was dressed, nor I could have Vali do this for the same reason.

This is why, instead of taking a longer approach and waste precious time for this instance, I just proceeded to trip on myself.

"Gah," I flailed a little while falling by the sturdy ground, my voice sporting an accentless German. "I- What the heck?"

"Sorry, good man," The new individual replied with a hint of broken accent, slowly standing up and helping me up. "I'm still regretting for having decided to keep sunglasses on. I just came from Spain and-"

"I don't care," I sighed with a hint of faux annoyance, noticing that some dirt had stained my pants. "And we are going to get some water bottle to fix this mess."

Vali stared at the scene with utter confusion in his posture, his attention darting between me and the Shadow Clone I had conjured while tripping on myself.

The fellow was donning a red cap, and some sunglasses that covered both his eyes and his hair. He was wearing a simple white shirt with the German flag on it and the simple writing 'Ich Liebe Deutschland', and pair of dark-blue jeans.

"I can buy you something-"

"Don't care… just, go away," I said sternly before giving him a nod. The Clone itself looked ready to snort at my 'irritation' but complied happily with the task of moving away from our proximity.

I pulled at Vali's jacket and sighed. "Let's go there," I said while pointing my finger at a morning bar. "Perhaps we can get some water to clean this stain."
