Seiji and the others did as the restaurant owner instructed.

Then, the handsome middle-aged restaurant owner lifted his hands, clasped his palms together, and created a white ball of light that he inserted into the globe.

The markings on the globe lit up as light flashed all over its circuitry-like patterns.

"Now, everyone, reach out with your hands. No need to touch it, just get closer to it."

Hearing this, Seiji was the first to reach out his hand.

When his hand neared the globe, a dark-red mist appeared from his hand, then was sucked into the globe.

'It's alright…' Seiji indicated that to the others with his expression.

Miyabi was the second to reach out her hand. Following after her, Nomura and the others reached out with their hands as well.

After the globe absorbed some mist from all of them, it began to buzz. On the lower half of the device, the three-legged stand, many mystical runes started to glow red.
