The untimely frosty blue rose bloomed quietly in the center of the city, scattering crystal flakes of ice.
The sun reappeared, expressing the feelings of those who were safe and sound.
(...Is the scenery in the eyes of a person with abilities the same as what I see now?)
The incompetent girl who just seemed to appear on the list of appearances caught the coolness floating into her palms. She was happy for others to escape danger, but also felt a little sad about her own inaction.
That child... obviously looks younger than her, but he is already a person from two different worlds.
Saten Ruiko raised her head with emotion.
In the blessing smile, there is an envy buried deep in my heart.
Knew it.
I still want to become a capable person.
This was her biggest wish when she entered Academy City.
In other words, most of the students who come here have the same idea.
However, among them, many people will still be 'shut out'.
Saten Ruiko is one of them.
People without talent.
Incompetent persons.
"well……"
The black-haired girl lowered her eyes and sighed slightly.
This kind of thing.
Even if I understand, it’s still hard to accept it calmly...
(I just hope that...this kind of thing will never happen to me again.)
After all, why did she stand up when she was so incompetent?
Saten Ruiko actually didn't understand this herself.
perhaps.
It is so that one day I can stand upright in front of my friends and tell them with a smile.
Even people without talent can still do something.
Wiping away the dust on the tip of her nose, the girl's face became cheerful again.
(Okay! The matter should be over... I haven’t heard back for so long. Uiharu must be impatient... Ah!)
After feeling at ease, Saotian finally remembered someone she had made an appointment with in the afternoon.
But there is a problem...
Her mobile phone seemed to have heroically sacrificed itself just now.
Saten woke up and covered his face with a headache.
Her living expenses are not that generous. Now, who should she ask for reimbursement...
There was no other way. Saten, who couldn't contact his friend for the time being, had no choice but to break into a jog and head towards the predetermined location.
Although the afternoon activities were ruined, given her friend's character, he would never feel relieved if he didn't see her.
Saten thought.
only.
Just when she had taken a step forward, she suddenly stepped on something and tripped.
(…?)
The girl lowered her head strangely.
Then.
Huh--
She hesitated and was instantly attracted.
It was a bright crystal about the size of a battery and very similar in shape to a rhombus.
(What's this?)
Saten picked it up carefully and raised it above his head curiously.
It's been like this from the beginning.
She always picks up some weird things.
But this time, something seems different.
"hiss……!"
Halfway through the observation, Saten took a breath due to the sudden sting.
Probably because she didn't hold it firmly, a small cut was cut on her finger.
Is this thing so sharp?
Saten thought depressedly.
never mind.
Let's study it later.
The girl who had taken care of her fingers put the thing into her pocket.
If you are sure which company the product is from, you can return it later.
Well, that's it.
Saten started running again.
But she didn't notice it at this time.
not far away.
Another person who confirmed her safety called.
"...In early spring, it's me."
"There's nothing wrong with your classmates, um... they'll probably be able to get there in a while."
"Trouble or something... Although I am no longer the disciplinary committee member, I am still your senior, right?"
"So, it's okay to rely on me more occasionally."
The blond superpower closed his eyes, and his voice was unusually gentle.
The juniors who are worth looking forward to have new gains.
The immature sister has also grown up.
Then next.
It’s time to draw the curtain on today’s ‘show’.
…
…
Shake, shake.
Judging from her movements, we know that Fremia's current condition must not be very good.
That's only natural.
She released all the power hidden in her body in one breath. If her new partner hadn't pressed the 'brake' in time, she would have passed out long ago.
Although it's not much better now.
"Meow...basically...can't move..."
Fremia, who finally landed successfully on the ground, collapsed on the ground, looking like she couldn't exert herself at all.
Although the partner in her mind kept telling her to hold on, it really didn't work anymore.
This is not a question of who can take over.
But Fremia's body has indeed reached its limit.
The little one's only wish at this time is to have a good sleep on the big bed.
It's a pity that there are not such convenient places around.
If anyone wants to arrest her now, they probably have to wait for her sister to come and save her.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?
Fremia, who barely kept her eyes open, thought.
But the reality is that we like to go in the opposite direction.
Or.
The "net" weaved around her has yet to be unfolded.
There were unfamiliar footsteps approaching behind me.
But Fremia had no way to confirm.
her consciousness.
Already fell into a deep sleep.
…
…
Tsuchimikado Motoharu finally stood at the center of the incident.
Looking at the target who fell asleep in front of him, he never thought that he would become the final winner in this way.
After that, he just needs to take the little girl to the place Aleister requested, and his mission will be completed.
but--
Is this really good?
There was a hesitation that a spy shouldn't have under Tsuchimikado's sunglasses.
There are so many things that are unclear.
hateful.
He once thought that this was just a "slightly difficult" identity investigation mission.
Although it is a bit strange that the target is young, when it comes to the "magic side", age is no longer a measuring point.
You know, a certain little queen who reigns at the top of the Golden Society is only eleven or twelve years old.
Yes.
The target of investigation that Aleister had assigned to him before was this girl named 'Fremia Severen'.
The issue is.
Is this little girl really the 'mastermind' behind this series of events?
Tsuchimikado's eyes were full of doubt.
The genre of magic cannot be determined.
A defensive technique similar to the church's automatic secretary.
And the last thing that appeared...the "angel" in the shape of a giant rabbit.
That's what Tsuchimikado cares about the most.
……No.
etc.
Could it be.
The last doubt made Tsuchimikado's thinking suddenly clear.
(Could it be said that this child is related to the "Imaginary Math District"?!)
Just because he knew a little more than the average person, at this moment, cold sweat gradually broke out behind Tsuchimikado.
no.
Can't delve into it any further.
he reminded himself.
Just knowing that "Angel" is related to "Imaginary Math District" is enough for Aleister to have other thoughts about him.
In the final analysis.
Whatever that person planned to do, he had no ability to stop it.
so.
It’s better to do your own job first.
Tsuchimikado smiled to himself.
He bent down and was about to reach out.
But I heard this sentence.
"You also want to go back and rest early, right? If you don't want things to become more complicated, don't take action against her."
