As Hazuki devoured his second skewer and tried to swat Ridan away with one hand like an annoying fly, Ellyn watched him closely from her perch.
Why does he keep talking to himself…?
He wasn't just mumbling. He was making faces. Laughing. Arguing. Even pausing as if… listening?
Hazuki wasn't the quiet type, sure, but even for him, this was getting weird.
Curious, Ellyn narrowed her eyes.
She softly whispered, "Absolute Eye—Activate."
A soft shimmer pulsed through her irises, like sunlight reflecting off glass.
Her vision shifted instantly—colors grew sharper, magical threads became visible, and… there it was.
Floating just behind Hazuki's head—
A strange, cloud-like figure with glowing eyes, a mouth full of smugness, and lazy, floating energy that looked like condensed sarcasm.
Ellyn's mouth parted slightly.
"…A spirit," she whispered.
