Chapter 62- A Spy?

The next morning, Kazuki checked his traps and found eagles on the north and west. When he went to the east to check the trap there, he found the one that looks like a phoenix with purple flames. When he tuned around to take his scissors, the bird in the cage was a common dove. He was sure that it was a phoenix like bird at first so he wonder what happened.

He observed the bird and decided to do a little experiment.

He tried to cut the bird's feathers but as the scissors got closer, the bird disappeared. He then used his astral eyes and saw the bird's magic inside the cage. He realized that the clover bird's ability is not invisibility but shape shifting.

"A spy?" Kazuki wondered
