"...Well, I already know very well that you are a superpower who can get out of trouble without help, so can you let them go? At least drive them away..."
After spending five minutes to finally sort out the situation, Kamijou Touma scratched his head and sighed, while twitching his eyebrows and glanced out the glass window on the right.
There, six young gangsters who had drunk too much and wanted to cause trouble were neatly kneeling on the ground, attracting many passers-by to point at them.
Maybe he just made a mistake about the person who needed 'help'?
"What stupid things are you talking about? If you leave them alone, these guys will definitely go to other places to continue causing harm to others. They might even block you on your way home and chase you around."
"Well……"
The corner of his mouth twitched. For some reason, Kamijou felt that what this girl said might become reality.
In order to live a stable life for himself, this hedgehog-headed boy had to give up his good-guy style of always helping whenever there was a problem regardless of his position.
"Besides, the Disciplinary Committee has probably been notified, right? It wouldn't be good for a senior who is still on duty so late to make a wasted trip."
"Uh...senpai?"
Shrinking his head, Kamijou Touma seemed to have found the reason why the girl in front of him was so calm and capable.
"Well, I don't know if the person coming is the senior of the branch I'm about to report to."
The girl with long curly blond hair suddenly paused and put down the cup as if she remembered something.
"...Speaking of which, it seems that none of us have introduced ourselves."
The conversation and complaints just happened so naturally that everyone seemed to have forgotten this issue.
"My name is Flanda, Flanda Severen, and this child is my sister, Fremia Severen."
"Hello~ kind-hearted big brother! Meow!"
The elder sister who greets me very formally, and the younger sister who speaks with strange accents, are really a pair of sisters with distinct personalities.
Refreshing his first impression of the two of them in his mind, the hedgehog-headed boy smiled shyly and said his name.
The fourth branch of "School District 7" is located in an abandoned building that is about to be renovated. There are footsteps that shouldn't be heard.
From the shadows of the corridor, a girl wearing the girls' uniform of Kirigigaoka Affiliated Middle School gradually appeared.
She has long hair that reaches her waist, and looks about fourteen or fifteen years old.
However, she should be at an age where she should be enjoying her youth, but her beautiful obsidian pupils were extremely cloudy at the moment, revealing an aura of hatred as if she hated everything in the world.
Shaking her body to the window with a piece of glass missing, the girl with a deep expression raised her head slightly and turned her gaze to the building standing in the center of the school district.
A building with no windows.
"...Tch, did you fail? After all, you are the chairman of the board who rules this city. Sure enough, that level of blasting is not enough..."
Gritting her teeth and letting out a regretful sigh, the girl tightly grasped the window railing in front of her as if to vent her anger.
"But... don't think this is the end of it... the governing council that treats 'us' as experimental material... and the hatred of 'Dolly'... I will come to you all to get it back!"
Suppressed angry roars echoed in the darkness, and only when he said the name "Dolly", his eyes showed a glimmer of light.
Because that is the irreplaceable friend who can make her smile from the bottom of her heart.
After using her own ability to steal the truth at the place where she was being experimented, she vowed to let those people know that even 'experimental animals' have 'fangs of resistance'.
"...Although I don't know who dealt with the researchers of the 'Talent Workshop', I will not thank you."
She still wanted to send those people to hell with her own hands.
As a result, when she regained her freedom, the institute was empty and in tatters.
That's why she dyed herself black and started to reach out towards the 'source' of all this.
(...Tsk, the last action probably raised the alert level a lot. Let's retreat for the time being and then look for opportunities...)
Withdrawing her thoughts, the unwilling girl took a deep look at the target building.
One day...
I can……
"——?!"
But just when she was about to leave, something unexpected happened.
(Footsteps?! Five, seven, thirteen...how is that possible...)
(hateful……!)
She quickly hid in a bunker and used her superpower to perform echolocation. She discovered that there were dozens of heartbeats in the building, and they were obviously surrounding her with her as the center.
Just as the girl didn't want to believe, her whereabouts were exposed.
On the periphery of the abandoned building, like the central room computer of the command vehicle, her information is being released to all members of the operation.
The ability code name is "Liquefied Figure" and its level is Level 4.
After a brief exchange with Kamijou Touma, Flanda didn't stay much longer and left with Fremia almost immediately.
It was the first day we met, and it was impossible to 'test' his abilities.
But judging from the first meeting, it should be considered a good start.
But in the eyes of the precocious nine-year-old girl, there seemed to be other 'tricks'.
"I generally understand. It turns out that my sister likes that type of person."
"puff!"
Frightened by this sudden statement, she twisted her steps. She picked up the blue beret of the same style as her sister that fell on the ground and patted it. Flanda, with her brows twitching, looked at her face, which looked like it was true.
Fremia.
"ha……"
This kid will think about these things all day long.
"I don't know how you made this judgment, but..."
After a pause, Flanda suddenly felt happy and showed a mysterious smile.
"I already have someone I like."
"Really meow——?!"
With a look called 'gossip' shining in her eyes, Fremia took her sister's hand and started questioning her excitedly.
She was extremely concerned about the fact that her sister, who was nagging all day long, didn't know how to dress up, and had absolutely no interests that a normal girl would have, actually had someone she liked.
"...I know, I know, stop it."
"Yes, if you are obedient, I will tell you the story about 'that person'."
"Uh-huh!"
Using grammar that confused the pronunciation of men and women, Flanda smiled slightly and held her sister's hand on the way home, softly telling the polished story about "them"...
But she always felt as if she had forgotten something.
But since I can't remember it, it shouldn't be anything important...
