Chapter 61 – Accepting The Devil's Offer
Noah stood in front of a door—the room of Elizabeth.
Behind him were Yuki and a very reluctant Eric, who looked like he'd rather die than be here.
"Why do you even need me?" Eric muttered. "If it's just about shadow affinity, you literally have your own shadow."
He glanced down at Noah's shadow. As someone attuned to shadows, Eric could tell—Noah's shadow was… different. It felt alive, yet not. Human, yet shadow. Intriguing, sure. But Noah was trouble, and Eric knew better than to get too curious.
Still, here he was. Dragged out of his room under the threat of having all his stuff frozen.
'First my father burns my books, and now this lunatic is threatening my possessions. What's wrong with this world?' he thought bitterly.
Noah, overhearing him, answered casually, "Yeah, my shadow's special. You'll understand more during the mission."
He then turned to face Elizabeth's door.
"Now be quiet. This one's harder than yours."
