Dusk Town, Yokai Dojo.
Knock~ Knock~
"Who is it this time?"
Tanaka, with his broom in hand, approached the metal gate, slickly combing his hair back before slowly opening it.
His eyes slowly opened wide.
"It's you…"
A hostile voice seeped out of his mouth.
"…"
Kiernan looked silently at him, and with his Instinct, he saw a crimson shade covering the entire dojo like a blood-painted canvas.
It was clear that he was far from being welcomed in this place, and if he took even one step inside, he might never make it out alive.
'Something has happened. I don't think my departure would cause them all to become so hostile towards me, so something definitely happened.'
"May I enter?"
Kiernan asked.
"May you enter? Hahahaha…"
Tanaka laughed slowly but didn't look amused and then pressed the broom's bristles harder against the ground.
Crack~
The broom cracked in half under the pressure.
