Lord Enma; 'Workplace Escape'

Start from the beginning
                                        

"...I think we should see a clothing store."

His face fell and gave me the most unamused look ever. "...Let's just go." He said as he grabbed my arm. I immediately stopped him, "W-wait! What about your ears?" I said worriedly. Lord Enma made a face of realization, "Whoops, almost forgot!" He pulled out some headphones and put it on his head, essentially covering his ears. He then looked at me, "There! Now no one will suspect." We left the secluded area we were once in.

"When can I open my eyes, Enma?" I asked. He told me to close my eyes, as 'it's a surprise' according to him. "Soon, soon! We're almost there!" I can hear the excitement in his voice. I wonder, what will I see in the human world?

As I couldn't see anything, Lord Enma had to guide me. Totally not because I said that I'll be fine without his help earlier and then crashed into a pole. Nope, that didn't happened. Anyways, we have been walking awhile now. My legs are starting to become numb.

"Alright, we're here!"

I heard Lord Enma shout. I opened my eyes to look around my surroundings. "Wow..." I said. Everything caught my eye. It's similar to the yo-kai world, and yet, it enticed me. Maybe it just has its own charms. "So... what's the plan? And where are we?" I looked at him for answers. "We're in the city! And I think that we're in... the plaza..?" He questioned himself, but he soon dismissed himself with a shrug. "Eh, no matter." He then grabbed me and pointed at a large building. "Over there is a shopping center. I thought that we could buy a couple of things as souvenirs from the human world!" He said with large smiled plastered across his face. I raised my eyebrow, "Wait, how are we even going to pay?" I questioned him. He then pulled out a wallet, "Lucky for you, I have been visiting for a long time. I have been able to gain money through it." He said proudly. He then snatched my hand, running to the shopping center. "C'mon! Let's go before we run out of time!"

When we entered, I was agape. Everywhere all around me were so many stores! I rarely get the chance to go shops since I'm so busy. "Hey, over there." I heard Lord Enma say. I followed him to see a map of the whole shopping center. "Where do you want to go?" He asked me. I thought for a bit. What can be a souvenir? Jewelries? Plants? Clothing?

"Erm... How about we just skim through the whole place..?" I looked at him embarrassed. I don't know what to choose! Maybe something will catch my eye eventually. Lord Enma's face had brightened, "That's a great idea! We can look at everything while we explore." He said as he took a picture of the map with a phone. Just where does he get these?

After a few moments we set off.

Author's Point of View

"Okay, so if we continue walking straight... at the end will be an escalator to next floor would be on our left... and an elevator would be somewhere near on our right." Lord Enma rambled as he looked at his phone. You were busy looking around to see if you found any shops to be interesting. Well one did.

"Hey Enma, what's that?" You pointed at a brightly-colored shop. Some had posters of people on it, and they were weirdly dressed. One had three girls in yellow, pink, and blue, and they were dressed in dresses and wearing helmets. It seems like they're in space. Lord Enma lifted his head from his phone. His eyes soon showed sparkles. "Oh! That's where they sell manga!" His tone was full of excitement. "Let's go in!" He immediately ran into the store. You trailed behind him.
