“Actually you wouldn’t even be able to be a director; the direction isn’t good enough. If this is the
best you can do, you wouldn’t please anybody in the audience. It can’t be helped really. Let me
show you an example, Alba. If you want to advertise yourself as a horror show, you had better be
able to at least do this.”
Thud, the woman kicked the leather bag still sitting at her toes.
“Go.”
The authoritative command left no room for disagreement.
In response the bag seemed to open on its own. Bang, there bag itself seemed to have nothing
inside. At the same time, a black form spiraled around the Magus known as Aozaki Touko.
Like a typhoon with a body, in which Touko stood in the eye of the storm, it began to spin around
and around with an incredibly fast speed. The storm had an insane force.
Only a few seconds had elapsed before the lobby was completely devoid of the creatures that were
just there. There was no trace or shape left of the things that had been spilling into the lobby. Only
Aozaki Touko and her bag, now snapped shut, remained. That, and a black cat that now sat at her
feet.
“... Wha–”
Alba could only look on at the scene as if in a trance.
The cat was bigger than Touko. Its body was pure black, but didn’t seem to have any thickness. The
cat’s fur appeared like shadows. Rather than a cat, the form seemed merely to hold the silhouette of
a cat, and face that resembled the Egyptian hieroglyphs.
“What is that..?”
The man looked down from the second floor at the cat. His gaze met with the cat’s painting like
eyes. Even though it was missing a mouth, the cat seemed to smile back at him.
As if waking up from a nightmare, Alba gulped.
