Ethan stared at the figure shuffling slowly towards them. The guy moved like one of those idle NPCs you'd see loitering in the safe zones of Ethereal.
He knew Harmony City like the back of his hand. And in all his time here, he had never, ever seen a system character like this.
"Huh…? Never seen him before," Ethan murmured.
The others followed his gaze, their eyes flickering with curiosity.
"You think it's some kind of hidden NPC out for a stroll today?" Leeroy suggested.
"I'm gonna check it out. Maybe he's got a side quest," Meatball declared, and before anyone could stop him, he was already sidling up to the NPC.
Exchanging glances, Ethan and the rest of the group decided to follow.
"That's Leo!"
A bright, girlish voice piped up from among them.
"Wait, what? Kiara, you mean that's Skyblade?" Evelyn, who had heard Kiara, sounded utterly disbelieving.
"Yep, that's Leo, alright," Kiara confirmed, a cheerful smile on her face as she looked up.
