"So you kicked the bucket too?" Millie said with a almost cocky smile. "Huh. Didn't expect a Savant to just up and die so easily."
"Nope. This is just something I can do." You replied to her smile with a shit-eating grin of your own.
"As I have said, he can transcend into phantom form and back to human again thanks to the mystic pact John-sama and I have made." Yumi added. You're certain that whole 'mystic pact' part was just a metaphor for how she's been teaching you stuff... right?
