Once outside, I met a girl. She wasn't the girl behind the counter- that maid's sister. Rather, she was one of the girls who first came to grab my arm. She didn't grab me this time but just stared. She was actually in decent clothes- not that revealing.
I steered to my right and headed for the stairs but the girl just stayed there. Her expression, typical.
Alisa did have powers to take care of things but- what if.
I stopped just at the stairs and came back. "Excuse me miss, is something wrong? Why-"
"Don't mind me. I'm standing guard. I won't let anyone hurt her." Her tone was relaxed but she was serious.
She didn't seem to be lying but just because people seemed innocent didn't mean they were.
"Okay-"
But I didn't try to stir trouble. For the moment I decided to trust these people. My guard was still up though.
I just headed down.

It was past midnight and yet, there were so many people here.
