Demon Suppression Agency [2]

After discreetly returning the newspaper we had "borrowed" while the stand owner was distracted, I led the party down the street toward our intended destination.

Of course, we had to return it. Otherwise, that would be stealing, and stealing was a crime punishable by law.

...Ah, wait. Doesn't taking something and then returning it still count as stealing?

Let's just forget about that, okay?

Besides, I have absolutely no memory of stealing anything. How could a gentleman like me ever commit such an act? Truly, the idea was absurd.

A few seconds later, we arrived in front of a towering high-rise building.

Along the way, we had passed all sorts of classical and modern structures, each with its own unique charm. However, against the sheer presence of the massive building before us, they all seemed somewhat lacking.

It wasn't just the building's size that set it apart, but the way it clashed with its surroundings.
