It was at that point in time that the securely shut door of the shop suddenly opened with a creak. But there was no one to be seen inside. The doorway was like a huge mouth that was full of unknown dangers.

He frowned slightly and felt a tightness in his throat. He, who had always been so calm and composed, was actually getting a little panicky at this moment.

As the sounds of the people pursuing him came closer and closer, he gritted his teeth, took a large step forward, and rushed directly into the shop. He had no other choice.

After he went through the doorway, the door of the shop shut with a creak once again, and the sound was daunting.

Inside the shop, the lights were on and the windows were bright and clean. It wasn’t at all as weird as he had expected it to be.

“I’ve already told you to fix that door. The door creaks and squeaks every time it’s opened and closed. Our customers will be inclined to find it horrible. If Boss finds out about it, you better be careful, or she’ll skin you.”

“I got it. I got it. I’ll fix it after this customer leaves.”

The voices of a man and a woman came to his ears.

He looked at the two people in front of him and a look of astonishment flashed across his face. Of these two, the man had an extraordinary bearing and was exceptionally handsome, while the woman had bright eyes, a set of white teeth, and brows that were so beautifully shaped that they looked like a piece of artwork. When the two people noticed that he was staring at them, they smiled and approached him.

“Dear guest, this way, please. Our boss is waiting for you.”

The two people spoke in unison, saying the exact same thing. It made his heart skip a beat. But, even though he found the situation a bit strange, he had actually started to calm down, albeit slowly. He didn’t sense any malice or… murderous intentions… from these two people.
