At first, Moyu couldn't be sure whether the black-haired girl was Shizuku.
But with the Conjuration of Blinky, there was no doubt that the black-haired girl was Shizuku.
Blinky was Shizuku's Conjuration ability. It looked much like a vacuum cleaner, except its intake was lined with teeth and had a long tongue.
The vacuum cleaner's collection bin also had a pair of round black eyes on top.

Shizuku's decision was
