Aleph

"Zafkiel —— Aleph." Just like before, the shadow that the Roman numeral [I] on the clock face oozed out, was absorbed into the handgun in Kurumi's hand. After which she once again proceeded to hold the muzzle to her chin——and pressed the trigger.
Instantly.
"Gu......!?"
Kurumi's figure suddenly disappeared. And at the same time, Mana was sent flying.
"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Can't•you•see•me•?"
"Tch——"
Mana changed directions in mid-air, advancing towards Kurumi as though she had stepped on air.
However, Kurumi's body had disappeared once more like fog, appearing behind Mana in the next instant, delivering a heel kick to her back.
