A downward passage appeared before Roger's eyes. The staircase was not wide, approximately only wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side.
He descended one level, where a middle-aged man with a pale complexion, dressed in a butler's uniform, stood at the corner of the staircase.
"How do I address you?"
"Roger."
"Oh... that name suits you well."
"You may call me Vero, please follow me."
The other's display of elegance and politeness endeared him to Roger.
If only... he were human.
The butler before him, though seemingly not much different from a normal person, had a more ethereal body; one could vaguely see the objects behind him through his form.
Clearly, this was a ghost.
If Henrik's theories were correct, capable of maintaining sanity, having his own thoughts, and communicating with normal people...
Well, this was a Monster Spirit.
Aside from the mysterious Anna, this must be the first Monster Spirit Roger encountered.
