"Huh?" Sato suddenly turned to glance at the entrance of the underground temple.
What he happened to lay his eyes on was a little feline, bigger than an average kitten but similar to a beagle[1] in height.
The feline had caramel coloured fur with black stripes all over it, reminiscent of a tiger. But in reality, it wasn't one. The blue pupils in its eyes together with the white patch of hair on its forehead were enough to make Sato realised that this was a strange creature native to the fantasy world of Infinite Realm.
"How did you get there?" Sato stared at the creature with cautious eyes.
