?Daniel settled Seraphina down on a futon that Kato had prepared, and the two started to check the condition of the room they had rented. They noticed that everything was in working condition while Emma unpacked their clothes from the bag.
Of course, the clothes were only female clothes since Daniel usually threw all of his belongings into his universal pocket.
"Kato," Daniel called out after everyone had settled down.
"Yes, Boss?"
Daniel didn't answer imdiately. He reached his hand into his universal pocket and brought out a stack of US dollars and a gold dal with a picture of a scale that had a skull and a bag of gold coins on each side of the scale. The other side featured a picture of a fierce wolf holding a severed arm in its mouth. He placed them in Kato's hand along with a paper listing the materials he needed.
"Go out and buy things on this list. When you return, tell what favor you want to deal with, and I'll help you," Daniel solemnly said.
"Ok, Boss, I'll return shortly," Kato nodded and left the room on his way.
While Kato was on his way, he looked at the dal strangely. It had so Latin words 'Honesta Societatis Socius' written on it. Since he wasn't specialized in Latin, the only word he knew the aning of was 'Honesta,' which ans 'Honored.'
Kato kept all of his curiosity in check and placed the golden dal into his pocket, unaware that another set of eyes had seen the golden dal. The other observer was the dock employee who had just fleeced Daniel's group. With a smile, he followed Kato from afar.

After Kato left, Daniel checked the mana within his body and found that he could utilize it without any problems, following the knowledge of the archmage. He then tried sinking his mind into his mindscape to see if there was anything strange within this room, given the nurous talismans plastered on the door outside.
As expected, he saw a lot of reddish chains binding an ominous entity— a humanoid silhouette covered in dark-mist-like substance. He sensed a lot of anguish, rage, and unrelenting hatred emanating from that entity.
Daniel gazed at the entity for a few seconds before it suddenly seed to look back. The chains rattled as if the entity wanted to break free and confront Daniel.
Squinting his eyes, Daniel looked at the 7 cards in his hand and found a suitable one.
Card: Purifying Fla
Picture: A white, holy fla engulfing a horde of undead, leaving behind only the purified soul, absolved of all innocent sins.
Rarity: Rare
Type: Quick Spell
Mana Cost: 1 Fire, 1 Holy, 3 Non-Elent

Flavor Text: "In the crucible of divine fire, impurities are consud, and from the ashes rises a soul reborn—cleansed of its spectral tether."
Daniel was about to use it on the dark entity that dared to target him, but then he rembered Emma, who was looking after Seraphina—she's just a normal person. It's not appropriate to let her witness what happens in the 'Curtained World.'
"Are you hungry?" Daniel asked Emma.
Emma shook her head, still looking worriedly at her lady, who was in stasis and sleeping soundly on the futon.
Seeing this, Daniel let out a sigh. "She's in stasis; you don't need to worry about her. Her condition will not get worse, and she won't feel any discomfort, let alone hunger. You should worry about yourself first," Daniel said to her and brought out a stack of US Dollars, handing it to her.
"Kato said that the sushi bar below is quite good. Why don't you go and try it? I'll follow behind you shortly," Daniel suggested, his eyes indicating that she should leave the room.
"Wait… why are you trying to make go out? Do you want to do sothing against Lady Seraphina?" Emma asked suspiciously, now back to herself and fully on guard against Daniel.
"Sigh—--------- For the love of god! Do I look like a degenerate to you!? You can take her out along with you too if you don't trust that much," Daniel retorted with a long sigh, feeling a little annoyed at Emma's lack of trust.
"Don't mind if I do…" Emma said, and Daniel shrugged, as if saying 'Be my guest.'
Emma then picked up Seraphina and arranged her on her back, piggyback style, and left the room, glancing at Daniel from ti to ti as if afraid he would pounce on them.
Daniel felt more annoyed and frustrated at Emma's antics.
After Emma went out and ca down to the first floor with no one around, she repeatedly slamd her head against the wooden wall nearby.
"Arggggghhh! Why am I acting like that? He must think that I'm an insufferable brat! Gaaaaahhh! Why do I need to keep being like that? It feels like shit!" Emma let out her frustration, admonishing herself for her idiotic behavior while slamming her head against the wall.
After a good few minutes, she stopped and went to the sushi bar, hoping that after she bought a nice sushi set, Daniel would forget her idiotic act.
The auto door of the Sushi bar opened after she stood in front of it, revealing many guests sitting at the counter. Each one was a fierce-looking man with beautiful Japanese cultural tattoos slightly protruding out of their sleeves, shirt collars, or shirt lapels.
The n stared fiercely at Emma, using their glares to convey a ssage for her to leave. However, Emma challenged their gaze, looking at them without any fear.
One of the yakuzas stood up and approached Emma, glaring at her in return, responding to Emma's challenging glare in Japanese.
Emma imdiately taunted back in perfect Japanese, not backing off.
The Yakuza was about to punch Emma, but her leg quickly kicked him in the nuts.
"Arrgghh!" The Yakuza cried out and fell to the ground, quickly angering nearby Yakuzas.
Before these Yakuzas could teach Emma a lesson, an angry roar ca out of the kitchen. One of the Yakuza tried to placate her but got cut off with a fierce glare.
The chef glared fiercely at that Yakuza, indicating that she wouldn't take no for an answer, and she wouldn't listen to any reason either. This made all the Yakuza quickly wolf down the sushi on their plates and leave, not forgetting to bring Toru, the Yakuza who caused trouble and denied them the chef's sushi.
After the door closed for ten or so seconds, both Emma and the chef heard sounds as if soone was getting beaten up.
Pow! Pow! Pow! Bam! Crash!
