Harrison cautiously approached Jose, who looked worse for wear.

"Are you injured...?"

"Just scratches. I wasn’t bitten."

"I know it’s a bit much to ask, but can I check? It’s best to make sure there are no bite marks."

Nikolai, scrutinizing Jose with a worried expression, chimed in. Jose nodded without hesitation.

After thoroughly checking, Nikolai confirmed that there were indeed no bite marks and finally let Jose go.

"How did you manage to come out of that horde unscathed...? I can hardly believe it."

Nikolai looked at Jose with admiration before posing a question.

"Have you considered coming with us to the capital? I’d like you to join the royal guard. Our goal is to restore the world to its former state. Your skills would be a tremendous asset."

"Not without Miss Cherry and Mr. Attorney’s permission."

At Jose’s response, all eyes naturally turned to Harrison.

"...I’m not your guardian. Why would you need my permission? If you want to go, just go."

"Then I’m not going. I’d rather be a pillar of Happy House."

Jose’s firm answer left Nikolai disappointed, while Amy exhaled in relief, her face visibly relaxed.
