There is a phantom who's been singing late at night in the shopping district. And this angel of music has been drawing a lot of monsters. And Eiji being Eiji, he can't just leave this alone.

A flash of light from LaToraBatta doesn't do much to distract the monsters, and they begin aggressively beating Eiji now that he's closer to wherever the singing is coming from.

"Ankh, I think I'm going to need a combo for this one," he calls back, trying to block while at the same time slashing at another monster. "There's too many!"

Ankh wants to point out that by that logic Eiji could also have brought back the same thing that happened to him the first time. But he suspects Eiji already realises and that was ignoring risk to himself as usual, and saying it will do about as much good as every time he tried to convince him that going back to the phantom was a bad idea. So he's not going to bother.

And that aside, he can't really fault the rest of what Eiji said, so he just falls back on his usual standby.

"Tch. Idiot."

"I really did try to get rid of them," he promises.

But it's hard destroying Medals, especially when the ones that destroy everything are the ones you're trying to destroy. And when they're not cooperating.

"I didn't know any safe place to hide them. I couldn't tell Mr. Kougami."
