"You..."
Tobiichi Origami stared at Wu Yan, who had suddenly appeared beside her and sent the 'it' that had intended to grant her power flying. Her pretty face twisted slightly.
But Wu Yan had no leisure to pay attention to Tobiichi Origami anymore. His gaze had been completely drawn to the unbelievable being before him...
A being wrapped head to toe in mosaic blur, impossible to tell whether it was male or female, human or ghost...
This was not the first time Wu Yan had known of this being, nor was it the first time he had seen its form. But facing it directly like this was a first!
Staring intently at the being floating in midair some distance away, ripples gradually stirred in Wu Yan's eyes.
"You're Phantom, aren't you?..."

"Kurumi said you were quite good at gathering intelligence. You didn't even know someone had given you a codename like that?..."
"I truly didn't know..." Phantom's voice carried not the slightest fluctuation.
"For intelligence that has nothing to do with me, I generally do not take the initiative to collect it..."
"Oh? Looks like even operating in the shadows isn't any easier than operating openly..."
"At the very least, I do not have the time to relax..."
Phantom spoke word by word in a tone whose emotions were difficult to discern. Wu Yan could clearly sense that, unlike its casual words, its gaze remained fixed on him.
