"A-Ah, esteemed Champions," the lady shakily bowed to them. "Can I help you during this time?"
Shizu visibly flinched at the obviously forced hospitality being given to them. Not that Riku could blame her. If what he was picking up in the background was any indication, the very existence of the town was at stake.
An awkward silence settled between his group and the lady. Beside him, Shizu was frozen with indecision, to which he promptly gave her a soft nudge, spurring him to quickly produce the loot that they were supposed to turn over to get out of the Realm.
"W-We're here to finish the quest given to us," Shizu hesitantly stated as she placed the proof of their handiwork on the counter. "This will be enough, right?"
Shakily, the reception lady grabbed the piece of Rashomon now on the counter. She gave it a once over before nodding, then placing it underneath the counter before giving them another nod.
