The restaurant was discreet, a traditional refuge in the middle of the urban bustle. Red lanterns flickered at the entrance, and the scent of hot broth and spices floated through the air. Vergil and Sapphire followed Kaguya down the narrow tatami corridor, where the muffled sound of conversation and laughter created a cozy atmosphere.
Vergil was wearing an impeccably cut black overcoat that fell to his knees. Underneath, a gray shirt with a high collar marked his athletic figure, and well-fitting dark pants completed the ensemble. His silver hair still had traces of disarray, but this only enhanced his intimidating presence.
Sapphire, next to her, wore a wine dress that hugged her curves naturally. The thin fabric reflected the ambient light, and a subtle side slit revealed the smooth skin of her leg with every step. Her long dark blue hair was partially tied up, with a few loose strands framing her face with its refined features.
