"This is not something Captain Crepes needs to worry about. Anyway, if Captain Crepes wants the plan to succeed, it's best to try to persuade Amagi Ryuto to join. Of course, this is just my advice. Whether Captain Crepes listens or not is another matter, as I said before, whether Amagi Ryuto agrees or not, I will participate. However, as for the outcome... I cannot guarantee it."

Though the girl's words seemed like a threat, Crepes Clair eventually agreed.

"...Thank you for your advice, Miss Anna. I will do my best."

"Well, it's getting late, Captain Crepes. You better hurry, after all, the plan starts tomorrow."

"Yes, I know that. Well, Miss Anna, I'll hang up now."

"I hope Captain Crepes can succeed; the success or failure of this plan is in Captain Crepes' hands."

Before the girl finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

After making the call, the girl did not go straight back to her room or continue gazing into the night. Instead, her gaze shifted to a certain void.

"That should be enough."

She muttered to herself.

Surprisingly, a voice echoed from the void.

"Yes, that's sufficient."

It was a seductive female voice, judging from the voice, the other party was similar in age to the girl.

"But, can this really... after all, what does all this have to do with Amagi Ryuto?"

"Hehe, I can't answer that. However, don't worry, I won't deceive you. As long as you follow my instructions, I will ensure that your wish is fulfilled."

"How can I trust you?"

The girl narrowed her eyes as she spoke.

"Hehe, trust? I didn't expect you to still say that to me. If you need proof, isn't the miracle right in front of your eyes? Delank Anna."

"...?"

"Moreover, we only met last night, and you're already starting to doubt me now. Isn't that a bit slow?"

With that, the girl couldn't help but recall what happened last night.

So the events rewound a day, to the late night of the previous day.

At this time, just like usual, the girl was already lying in bed, just closing her eyes, not yet fully asleep.

Then.

"Oh... you are Delank Anna, right?"

Suddenly, a seductive voice rang out.

"Huh? Who?"

The girl woke up abruptly, sat up in bed, and quickly scanned the room.

But...

There was no one else in the room besides herself. No one.

What's going on? Did I mishear? Was it an auditory hallucination?

The girl made this judgment based on the current situation but denied it the next moment.

No, it didn't seem like an auditory hallucination just now. The voice sounded too real, and I wasn't asleep, so it couldn't be a dream, but...

Just as the girl was puzzled.

"Delank Anna, I'm here."

That voice sounded again.

"Huh?"

Because the girl was still quite lucid, she quickly found the source of the voice and naturally shifted her gaze over.

But...

Huh?

There was still nothing there.

What is happening? Did I mishear? No, it's not possible. If the initial one was a hallucination, it might be possible, but this time, I didn't mishear. Moreover, I'm familiar with that voice, and it's the same as the beginning. So, I didn't mishear, but this...
