,, This is our destination, Yorknew Port Warehouse 16," Hitoshi announced as the three stood in front of its gates.

So this was where the Vasara Tree was before it disappeared... (Y/n) thoughted as his gaze fell onto a man in a suit walking towards the trio. He had blonde hair and Orange eyes. He donned a suit that was neatly tied up, likely in order to meet up with Hitoshi. His face was sprinkled with droplets of sweat. As the man grew closer, Hitoshi raised his right hand and waved at him.

,, Good afternoon,You must be Mr Bale, right?" Hitoshi questioned as he lowered his hand.

,, Ah yes. You should be Mr Bartelmes' Detective, Shikanoin," Mr Bale said as he placed his left hand on the other.

Mr Bale shifted his focus onto Anhur and (Y/n), who were behind Hitoshi. He gulped his saliva as his smile remained unfaltered.

,, Are these your assistants, Mr. Shikanoin?"

,, Yeah. Don't mind the one wearing the bard outfit, that's just how he dresses all the time," Hitoshi replied, smirking.

,, I see then... Let us enter the warehouse," Mr Bale said as he walked towards the warehouse.

Just before the group entered, Hitoshi grabbed onto (Y/n)'s shoulder with haste which caused the bard to pull towards the detective. This made  Anhur and (Y/n) shocked with Anhur instantly became alerted by the sudden action, but Hitoshi quickly reassured the man that everything was alright. Hitoshi then moved his face closer to (Y/n). The bard could feel his hot breath in his ear. 

,, We should definitely get you some new clothing, you stick out like a sore thumb," Hitoshi uttered before he pulled away.

,, You know, you can just say that in my face instead of my ear..." (Y/n) grumbled as he covered his ear.

After the small talk with Hitoshi, the group finally entered the warehouse with Mr Bale. The warehouse was quite dimly lit beside the center of the room. Its sides were filled to the brim with metal boxes, likely containing goods from overseas. The floor was made out of concrete, which was dirtied after usage for a long time, though it did not stop from noticing the dirt scattered across the center of the warehouse. Talking about the center of the warehouse, it was definitely a different sight to see. The center was brightly lit, forming a big square of light outlined with shadow. The roof in that area was made out of glass, allowing sunlight to seep through and illuminate the area. The only thing separating the group and the contents inside the warehouse was a Yellow-black barricade tape.

The center was the place where the Vasara Tree was, (Y/n) contemplated before he noticed Hitoshi beginning to wear a hair Hitoshi made eye contact with him as the two stared at each other for a few seconds.
