"...This is the 'Blue Marble'. All the trial work data of the 'Ability Reduction Device' have been recovered."
In a transport vehicle with the 'MAR' logo on the outside, a man sitting in a blue driving armor looked at the code sent back from the recording instrument and connected it to the communication channel of the leader of his team.
Not far away, the security team that had just arrived here after receiving the report had also set up a blockade and controlled the self-explosion site in the demolition area.
【...What's the result?】
Soon, a steady female voice came from the communicator.
"Yes, the 'experiment' was successful. Our 'white rat' self-destructed as planned, but neither the prototype of 'psychological mastery' nor Target B suffered any serious damage."
Although he is an elite member of the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team", what the man reports is not the work of a rescuer at all.
[...Hmph, forget it, the people "above" seem to have other ideas about "psychological mastery", as long as they can collect Level 5 data. 】
With a cold snort, the female voice was not too surprised by this.
"Then, as for target B..."
【Don't worry about her.】
call ended.
Interrupting her subordinate's consultation, the professional woman at the MAR fifth rescue center put away the communicator in her ear.
This is where people in the earthquake area received medical treatment after the recent earthquake.
She hid her inner evil intentions under her smile, pretending to be a kind big sister, and walked up to a little blond girl who was waiting quietly.
"You are little sister Fremia Severen, right?"
"...?"
Looking at the little girl who was looking at him doubtfully with a 'gentle' look on her face, the long-haired professional woman smiled slightly.
"Haha...this is the first time we meet. I am the captain of the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team" and the director of its affiliated research institute."
"Terestina."
Hiding her full name, the daughter of "Kihara" came into contact with the "Target A" of their plan.

On the second interchange of the "Seventh School District" expressway, Frenda was sitting in a taxi passing by.
If you want to rush to the rescue center where Fremia is currently located, this is undoubtedly the fastest route.
After handing Shokuhou Misaki to Captain Yomikawa of the 73rd Security Police Activity Branch who rushed to the scene of the incident, someone who felt at ease with this elder sister quickly found an opportunity to slip out of their sight.
Although I will definitely have to write a report again, as a "sister who cares about whether her sister was injured in the earthquake", this reason is still very reasonable.
(...Really, the earthquake that occurred at Fremia's location at that time caused the fluctuations in the surrounding "AIM diffusion stance" to be abnormal, right?)
Closing her eyes and leaning against the car window, Flanda, with a serious expression, was communicating with her [angel].
It was really the right thing to let Yui stay with the little one.
(Well! It was just a small 'spot' at first, but it quickly spread around it, like an 'infection'.)
(……really……)
A flash of understanding flashed across her face, and when the woman appeared near Fremia, she became alert.
The word infection is actually not the right word.
To be precise, it is ‘resonance’.
However, 'this period' should not have reached the period when 'poltergeist' occurs frequently.
I just remembered that Fremia said on the phone just now that she was told that she needed to 'stay' temporarily, so maybe everything is already clear.
(Yui, where is the first ‘point’ you perceived?)
(Well... right here!)
(...Tsk!)
The location that pops up on the map on the phone is exactly where Frenda is heading.
MAR 5th Rescue Center.

"...Auntie, what is 'RSPK Syndrome'?"
Following the "aunt" who seemed to have a great background in front of her, she walked down the aisle of the rescue center. Fremia, who heard the uncommon words, asked curiously.
Although she knew that good children were not allowed to go with strangers, the person who invited her was the 'captain' and what was the 'director', and the doctors and nurses here would also greet her respectfully, so the inexperienced person
Fremia inevitably let down her guard.
And the little one also knows that even if there is real danger, the 'air friend' who has been taking care of her will definitely find a way to protect her.
"Ah, auntie?!"
There is a bit of embarrassment on her face. It seems that no matter what role a woman plays, she cares about her age.
Reluctantly maintaining a smile, Terestina raised her glasses and answered slowly.
The so-called "RSPK syndrome" refers to the phenomenon in which a person with abilities temporarily loses self-restraint and puts his abilities into an out-of-control state without realizing it.
This is a 'disease' that often occurs in children who have been traumatized or stressed and are unable to correctly understand reality.
What's even more dangerous is that when this phenomenon occurs at the same time, the out-of-control abilities will merge with each other, and if the scale continues to expand, it will evolve into a natural phenomenon similar to an earthquake.
"...that is, a collective attack of 'RSPK syndrome'."
After opening the isolation door in front of her, Terestina turned to look at Fremia beside her after explaining.
"Oh, oh! Generally speaking, I understand..."
Circles were about to form in his eyes. Although the little guy didn't understand, he still tried his best to pretend to be like that.
But her increasingly quiet voice betrayed her completely.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. You will understand the purpose of my invitation in the future..."
"I want you to see this."
Stopping outside a huge glass window, Terestina motioned to Fremia to look to her left.
"...!"
In the middle of a room filled with medical equipment, several children wearing hospital clothes with bloodless faces were lying smoothly in an oval-shaped instrument that looked like an oxygen chamber.
"They are the children who are being treated for 'RSPK syndrome' here. We have tried every method, but there is still no progress."
With a sad look on her face, Terestina sighed in an extremely helpless tone.
"Meow……"
Also infected by this sadness, the kind-hearted Fremia also became depressed.
But even if she wanted to help those children, there was nothing she could do.
"but……"
As if the preparation was finally made, Terestina looked at Fremia seriously.
"When those children's 'disease' broke out just now, among all the people who were affected, you, who should belong to the same ability system as them, were not affected at all."
"After seeing this report, even if there is only a slim possibility, we are willing to give it a try."
"So, we really hope to get your help."
"——!"
