Chapter 15: Declaration 6
3rd POV
‘Strange’
Right now, Naomi was confused by the sight in front of her.
‘It’s definitely strange.’
After parting with Mischa, Naomi going back to her home and change her clothes into her one-piece dress and wore her mask. She brought the leftover of the cake that she ate with Mischa a while ago and flew to the base.
After she’s arrived at the base, Anna pulled her hand and make her sit in front of Rekka.
On her left sat Anna and Dan-Bi, while on her right sat Hyun-Woo. Right now, everyone in the room were looking at Rekka weirdly.
‘Why is there a woman in underwear sitting on Rekka’s lap?’
A woman with short black hair wearing only a white bra and panties locked her arms on Rekka’s neck.
Hyun-Woo looking at Rekka and the woman can’t hold himself and shouted at Rekka.
“Oii Rekka!! Who’s that woman?” Shouted Hyun-Woo.
Rekka didn’t say anything and smiled wryly. The woman in Rekka’s lap looked annoyed with Hyun-Woo shouting at Rekka and pouted her cheeks.
“Hey~ who are you? How dare you shouting at my Rekka like that?!” The woman said in a sultry voice.
“It was my question!! Who are you!! Oi Rekka, do you forget where we are?” Shouted Hyun-Woo as he slams the table in front of him with his right hand. Hyun-Woo tried to intimidate the woman but she only responded by sticking out her tongue.
“Well, what can I say other than it was Princess order to bring her here.” Said Rekka. “Chi, don’t provoke him. More importantly, wear your clothes! You are in front of Princess you know.” Rekka poked the woman, Chi's forehead.
“Ckk- you ruined my fun Rekka.” The woman clicked her tongue and her attitude changed in an instant. She moved from Rekka’s lap to the chair beside him. She picked up clothes that were on the floor and wears them. “You interrupted me when I found someone that was easy to tease.”
“Well, do that later. Princess said that she had something to say after all. And I didn’t introduce you yet to Princess. Haa-” Rekka sighed as he shrugged his shoulder.
Chi stared at Rekka and said.
“Princess? You said that Mugetsu wanted to meet me, and now you said you wanted to introduce me to this Princess?”
“Of course, Mugetsu is Princess’s name. But, we called her as Princess here.”
Naomi that stayed silent all this time got a critical hit. She never asked to be called Princess!
“Oho, so that masked girl is Mugetsu? Her appearance really didn’t strike her as highest rank criminal.” Chi smirked. Yesterday, Rekka had found her hiding place and invited her to join the Organization that Mugetsu started. She was interested to join, Mugetsu was the one that technically freed her from the Jail after all.
She followed Rekka to the base, but she didn’t expect that the base was in the sky. That’s why Esper Association never found Mugetsu, after all, they were in the sky this whole time. That strengthened her intention to join Mugetsu’s organization.
But, after meeting the members of the organization today, she reconsidered her intention to join. As Chi thought that, the so-called Mugetsu or Princess said something.
“Are you done joking around?”
Hyun-Woo immediately sat on his chair again and said.
“I’m sorry Princess.”
“Rekka, who is she?” Naomi's voice was calm and friendly, she turned her attention between Rekka and Chi.
“She was my friend that I talked about a month ago Princess. She was the one that has an ability to disguise herself as another person.”
“Hoo~ you found her. Good, before I talked about my plan I will ask something to you something.” Right now Naomi's attention was focused on Chi, Chi could feel the pressure that Princess emitted.
‘I was naïve, she is the real deal. I thought of her only as a young girl, but… she is monster’ Thought Chi as cold sweat pours out from her body.
“From the conversation with Rekka, your name’s Chi was it?” Chi could only nod slowly when Naomi asked her a question. “Then, what made you interested to join our organization? Just you know, our goal was to destroy all kinds of corruption this world hide. The main perpetrator of this corruption was Esper Association, that’s why our first goal was to destroy Esper Association!” Chi gulped after hearing Naomi’s speech.
Chi thought ‘This is it, maybe if it’s her.’ At that moment she decided to answer Naomi’s question honestly.
“I-” But, Chi was interrupted before she could answer Naomi’s question.
“If you can’t talk about it right now, take your time. No need to push yourself.” Said Naomi. Naomi raised her head to look at the ceiling and continued. “Pushing yourself is not good, I want you to feel comfortable around us. We are in this organization together, we reached our aim together. We will protect our comrade and will not abandon them.”
Chi was tearing up when she heard that, in all her life there was never someone as kind as Naomi. She thought that joining this organization was not bad. Everyone in the room smiled warmly when they heard Naomi’s word.
Right, they were here because Naomi had saved them. Who knows what will happen to them if Naomi didn’t save them.
“Thank you.” Chi said softly. Naomi nodded and took out the box of cake that she brought from home.
“I bought this before coming here, there was someone hungry so I gave her 2 cakes so I’m sorry if the cake is not whole.” Naomi scratched the back of her head embarrassingly.
Everyone laughed at that, even Chi join the laugh this time.
