The sun had set.
Beta Town.
North District.
Inside the Sakura Pub.
Korma quietly sat behind the bar, with a bottle of Sea Monster Langmu in his left hand and a bottle of Amber Light in his right. In front of him, two exquisite jade cups glimmered with soft hues under the dim light.
Knock, knock.
A polite knocking sound came from outside the door.
"Please come in."
The witch waved her hand, and the slightly ajar door silently opened, allowing the tranquil night to blend seamlessly with the quiet inside. In the night stood a tall and slender wizard.
"Good evening, Miss Jini."
The visitor took off his pointed wizard hat, revealing a head of messy gray hair and a pair of sharp gray-blue eyes. He discreetly glanced around to confirm no one else was present before stepping over the threshold: "—Sorry to intrude."
"Good evening, Professor Montreya."
