Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

The Elder.

The person known as Team Leader of Black Tortoise Team 1.

It was also this Elder, who, through the window of this clubroom-like waiting area, had played a 'dokkaebi trick' for the agents and sent us into the Twinkle Twinkle Ocean Palace in the forms of children.

'They can't possibly be human.'

I'm almost certain.

So I expected that we would probably visit the Elder by performing some magical ritual through the window in the waiting room.

But things didn't go that way.

"Alright, let's go carefully."

Tak.

We traveled by car.

"...??"

"It's not that far, maybe about forty minutes?"
