I hadn't turned invisible. I could still see myself.
But the Witch before me couldn't notice my presence.
Only magic could achieve such a contradictory situation, right?
But this effect was even more terrifying in battle. When I got back, I should have Barbara prepare a few more bags as backups...
That girl's power was far more frightening than I'd expected. I wondered if she could develop a "potion specifically for Fake Magical Girls" that purified the Star Crystal when drunk?
"Hmm, did she go to a meeting?"
Thinking she was alone in the room, the Owl Witch took off her goggles and poured herself a cup of coffee from the machine on the table by the door.
Lowering my voice, I whispered eerily into her ear:
"I hate this so much—"
"Eek?!"
Her hand slipped, and coffee spilled all over the floor.
The Witch's face went pale as she looked around in panic, as though she'd seen a ghost.
So she could hear my voice?
Let's try again.
"Give me back my life—"
"Why?! I-I haven't killed anyone!!"
Without even cleaning up the spilled coffee, the Witch covered her ears and fled the room.
"She scared that easily? I hadn't even tested whether direct contact could be noticed..."
Still, simply being impossible to notice was enough for me to roam freely through this base.
At least until the potion wore off.
I followed the fleeing Witch. If she was headed for the meeting room, then following her would not only tell me roughly how many members Enheria had at this base, but also reveal that person's identity...
The identity of that "new agent."
This was a perfect opportunity. I couldn't let it slip away.
The Witch ran into a meeting room and sat in one of the back seats
