Alka decided to leave all members of the Puppet Knight Order at the inn. Taking these 30-centimeter-tall figures out would be too conspicuous; they'd attract everyone's attention. Crowded places really aren't suitable for their operations.
Alka looked at his teammates, pondered for a moment, and said, "We'll split up."
"Lucilia, Pororo, you two and I will follow Chadite to map this area. The rest of you can move freely within the city and gather some information while you're at it."
"No problem."
"Okay."
Hearing everyone's response, Alka nodded. He then seemed to recall something, stopped, and looked at Julia. "Julia," he said, "it's better if you don't go out much here. Keep yourself hidden."
Julia nodded, understanding Alka's intention.
