Walking down a corridor on the second floor of the Apartment Building, A Boy asked a Ghost a question.
"Hikari-chan, Do you have any idea which Yokai lives here? We've been going through rooms for almost twenty minutes and still haven't seen anything." The Boy, Motohama Ken, asked the ghost of a young girl he found inside a Janitor's closet.
"I don't know..." The Girl whispered, her seethrough hand clutching tightly onto the Paper Seal she placed on the boy's shoulder, holding it as if it was her lifeline in the ocean.
"That's fine," The Boy tried to reassure the young girl, "I'm sure whoever they are will be super nice,"
"What makes you say that?" The Girl asked quietly, Her eyes looking all around her at the doors and windows she hadn't seen in what must have been years.
Perhaps even decades...
"Because if they did mean us harm, they would have shown themselves by now," Motohama explained, "They don't want any issues with Shin-Corp, so when we do find someone, they'll leave voluntarily."
"Or at least, I hope they will..." The boy added with a whisper.
"I wonder what Connla is up to?"
................................
A Loud clanging sound echoed around the Small living room as the box of rusty forks was flung against the wall.
"For the last time!" A Tall Teenager wearing black clothes and a pair of sunglasses yelled, "I Just need you outside the building!"
"You're not going to kill me!" Across from him, A Deer with intelligent eyes yelled in fluent Japanese, jumping over the dusty furniture in an attempt to keep distance from the Shin-Corp Agent.
"Don't tempt me!" Connla yelled angrily as his shadow elongated across the floor, swallowing the furniture between him and the Deer Yokai.
"Aah! Help me Aniki!!!" The Deer yelled in a panic as he leaped away from the growing shadow and burst out the door of the apartment and into the corridor outside.
"Dammit..." Connla took a deep breath before his shadow swallowed all the objects around him, from forks and spoons, chairs, and a Microwave, everything that stood above his shadow was taken.
Once the room was clear, Connla stretched his arms as his shadow returned to normal, His Sacred Gear returning to its dormant form as a regular shadow.
Night Reflection was its name, A Sacred Gear that allowed its user to control their own shadow, use it as a storage space, and most importantly-
With a step forward, His Sacred Gear flew at the wall in front of him, growing to the size of a door as Connla slowly walked up to the shadow.
And passed through it.
-Night Reflection allowed matter and energy to pass through it, and vice versa.
As Connla exited through the other side of the wall, he saw the Deer who ran away turn to look at him with wide eyes.
As a smile of victory crossed the Human's face, a huff of warm air caused him to turn his head to the side.
To be met with a Large Muscular Man, His arms covered in Tattoos depicting Branches and Fruit, From his short brown hair grew a pair of sharp antlers, and a large nose-ring of silver in his left nostril.
Without waiting for a second, Connla fully exited the shadow on the wall and ducked to the floor as an angry haymaker from the Humanoid Deer Yokai flew above his head.
