Usumgallu adjusted his monocle and made a contemplative hum. 

"Hmm… It seems you truly are. Please, follow me, owner." 

Without waiting for a response, he turned and started walking toward a nearby counter.

I hesitated, glancing back at my companions. 

Amaterasu gave me a hesitant smile, as if trying to reassure me while keeping her distance. "Maybe you should follow him," she suggested softly.

Jiuge, on the other hand, looked like she'd seen a ghost. Her wide eyes were frozen in shock, and even her nine tails had stopped their usual swishing, hanging stiffly behind her like petrified branches.

And Agnos? He was completely unfazed, comfortably lounging on one of the sofas with a steaming cup of tea in hand. Typical.

I gulped nervously, scratching the back of my neck. "Y-Yeah, I guess I should, right?" I muttered, though my voice lacked confidence.
