After the fight between Katsuragi and Carmira against the Abyssal monster called the Devourer, they arrived at the Shanzhou city. After they entered the city. Katsuragi saw a building that had an interesting and abstract design.
"Woah, this place is really interesting." Katsuragi said looking at his surroundings.
Carmira chuckled and replied,
"Shanzhou is famous for its architecture, the building here is inspired from the history of Shanzhou as well. Also..."
When Carmira turned around, she found that Katsuragi was gone. Meanwhile, Katsuragi who was in a crowded area felt confused by the streets of Shanzhou.
"Why..? Why are the roads here almost the same?!"
A few minutes later, Katsuragi finally found his way to the center of town, where Carmira was making a report on Katsuragi. But there is no need. Carmira walked towards Katsuragi with an angry and worried face.
"Where did you go?! I'm worried, you know?!" She asked in an angry tone.
Katsuragi looked straight into her eyes with guilt. He immediately apologized to Carmira.
"I'm sorry, I got lost when I entered one of the streets." Katsuragi replied guiltily.
Carmira saw Katsuragi who was like a cat returning to his master after a long time of disappearance, she sighed.
"Alright, next time follow me closely, understand?" Carmira said in a softer tone this time.
Katsuragi slowly nodded his head. A few minutes later, Carmira took Katsuragi on a tour of various places in Shanzhou. After visiting various places, Katsuragi began to get tired. However, Carmira is still energetic and finally took him to the last tour. It is a tower called the Creation Tower, it is also a tower that provides energy to the shield, that protects the entire city from the pressure and attacks of the Abyss.
"The reason it was named Creation Tower is because we Shanzhou people believe in the path of Creation. Therefore, we often build and develop unique creations, such as buildings, weapons, and more." Carmira said happily.
Katsuragi could only nod his head and his stomach started rumbling. Carmira then stopped talking and looked at Katsuragi and giggled.
...
After they finished eating, Carmira took Katsuragi to a clothing store. Inside, he started looking for some clothes for Katsuragi.
"Hold on, is there a problem with the style of my dress?" Katsuragi asked confused.
"Maybe. Here, try on the clothes I chose and show me." Carmira answered.
A few seconds later, Katsuragi came out of the dressing room by wearing a gray t-shirt with a black cardigan and black pants.
"Not bad." Said Katsuragi who was also stunned by his appearance.
Without realizing it, Carmira's face was a little red but she managed to hide it.
"You look great and handsome." Carmira said.
An hour later, after bought clothes and arrived at the apartment. Katsuragi rented a room in the same apartment Carmira lived in. They realize that their room is just one side.
"Oh, we'll be neighbors." Carmira answered.
"Yes... thank you, for bringing me here. Maybe I'll stay here from today. In Shanzhou." Answered Katsuragi.
Carmira was silent for a moment and thinking, then she got an idea.
"Do you want.. to have dinner with me?"
"With pleasure."
Katsuragi said with gratitude. Since he finally met someone who he can trust. Meanwhile, someone in armor and covering their face with an iron mask flew outside the apartment looking and examining Katsuragi.
"Reporting to Xiang Hua. Repeat, to Xiang Hua, I have already met the person who absorbed the energy of the Abyss. Ready to take action." Said the mysterious figure.
"Don't rush, we just have to wait for the right time to act and we have to study him more carefully. After all, Mrs. Tian Yi said that the man might be related to the god of all Elders. Itaris.. Elder of Authority.
