Rayen blinked and stopped singing. However, no matter how many times he tried to blink, the new black line connected to Yuzuka was still there.
In the end, Rayen was no longer able to control his facial expression.
Miles, who had received the Party Hat from Yuzuka, immediately noticed Rayen's intense gaze toward her. His protective instinct rose up.
"What are you two looking at?"
"... The black lines," Xu Jiji muttered, beating Rayen to it.
When Rayen and Xu Jiji stopped moving, Yeo Haru also followed suit, leaving only the music to continue playing. The fan resonance also stopped, with the black lines fading away.
"Black lines?" Miles's frown never left his face.
The two nodded. Only the Minstrels could see the black lines. The only exception was Plotter, who would often use Rayen's eyes to peek at the Bugs, so Miles was oblivious to what they noticed.
"What about the black lines?"
"They appeared."
Miles and Yuzuka blinked.
"You saw how they appeared?" Miles asked.
