Chapter 35: Strength in Number 15
3rd POV
After getting out from the base, Naomi remembered that she forgot to ask Rekka about the impostors.
But there is no way she would go to the base again to ask him that, that would be embarrassing. Naomi has nothing to do at home, that’s why Naomi decided to fly around the world.
Naomi wanted to know more about the last SSS-Ranked Esper alive. There is no information on the internet about the last SSS-Ranked alive.
Naomi at first thought that the Esper Association was spreading bullshit about the last SSS-Ranked Esper. But, after meeting Mischa, Naomi changed her mind.
Maybe the rumored SSS-Ranked Esper was true, that’s Naomi's aim when she decided to fly around the world.
She tried to find the last SSS-Ranked from the rumor and try to recruit him to her organization. After meeting Mischa, Naomi found out that she could feel the so-called Esper pressure if the other Esper was at least SSS-Ranked or Mischa’s level.
When the sun has set, Naomi was flying around the Europe Continent. She finally felt the pressure from an Esper when she was passing through France.
Naomi felt the pressure from the direction of the woods. She decided to approach it and saw a mansion in the middle of the woods.
When Naomi got a clear view of the mansion, the alarm suddenly rang off alerting the mansion’s residents.
The ones in the mansion come out one by one and looking for the intruder. Naomi wasn’t panicking at all, instead, she’s interested in their costume.
They wore the same costume as the one that had attacked Akasa Inc. opening ceremony, except they don’t wear any masks and didn’t bring any guns right now.
Naomi approached them from the sky, alerting the ones outside once again. But, surprisingly they were not attacking Naomi. There is no tension when they saw Naomi, it’s like they were welcoming an esteemed guest.
“Finally! Lady Mugetsu is here!! Someone, call our lady! Tell her that lady Mugetsu is here right now!” a man with a stern face shouted towards the Mansion’s entrance.
Naomi was puzzled, she expected a scream or a fear plastered on their face. But she got a look of reverence instead.
‘Could it be, they considered themselves as the member of our organization? And they regard me as their leader? But, who’s the lady that he was talking about?’
One man run inside the mansion after hearing the man’s shout. He called the so-called lady and informed her about what’s going on outside.
“Please go inside lady Mugetsu. Our lady was hoping to see you for a long time, but because of her situation she can’t leave this mansion without a reason.” The man that previously gave out an order approached Naomi and invited her to go inside the mansion.
Naomi nodded at him, Naomi’s aim was to meet with the last SSS-Ranked Esper from history. If they were this friendly, there is no reason for her to refuse.
“We were surprised that you visited us. It seems our lady's plan was running smoothly, she always wanted to meet with lady Mugetsu since your first appearance in that video. Our lady was devastated when she heard that you will disappear for 2 years, that’s why to keep your name and your organization alive, our lady decided to make a ruckus around the world.”
The man walked inside the mansion with Naomi and told his story.
‘So they are the one behind the impostors? To think that the last SSS-Ranked Esper was the impostor of my organization. She needs to get disciplined.’ Thought Naomi.
“Is that so. Then you are stupid aren’t you?” Said Naomi.
The man was surprised when Naomi called him stupid, he doesn’t understand why she suddenly called him stupid.
“Pardon?”
“You don’t understand anything. Causing a ruckus around the world, your group didn’t help me, they ruined my plan instead. And you said your lady admire me? Are you mocking me?” Naomi wasn’t angry, she just wanted to act as Mugetsu, a boss of an Organization. She then spread her Telekinesis power to make the atmosphere around her heavier.
If someone ruined her plan, of course, she would pay them back. Although the reason why Naomi called him stupid was to make him angry. She wanted to try fighting with the last SSS-Ranked Esper written in history.
‘Let’s beat her and recruit her. Isn’t your foe becoming a friend is a cliché in the Secret Organization ?’ this was Naomi’s true aim.
“T-that’s, we don’t know.” The man had a rough breath because of the suffocating pressure emitted from Naomi.
Even though the man had difficulty breathing and walking, he kept walking until they reach a room with 2 sofas and a table between them.
On one of the sofa sat a short girl with black hair tied into a twintail. When she saw Naomi, her face instantly brightened and she disappeared from the sofa.
Suddenly she felt a hand touching her waist from behind. Naomi didn’t realize it at all when the girl moved behind her. Naomi instantly increased her Telekinesis armor power and blast off the girl.
“What a warm welcome, to suddenly sneaking behind me.” Naomi said looking in the direction where she blasted off the girl.
“My, thank you~” Naomi heard the girl's voice, not from the direction where she had blown her but from the direction of the sofa.
Naomi turned to the sofa and saw the girl sitting on the sofa while sipping a tea.
‘How?’ thought Naomi.
“How about you take a seat in front of me, Lady Mugetsu? Alex, could you leave us alone?” The girl said to the man that brings Naomi here.
The man, Alex, nodded and exited the room.
Naomi was troubled, should she sit or not. The girl had a mysterious power to appear and disappear as she please.
Even after getting blown off by her Telekinesis, the girl had no trace of being injured too.
‘As expected from an SSS-Ranked Esper that was written in the history.’ thought Naomi.
Naomi finally decided to sit down and ask the girl.
“What’s your purpose imitating my organization and attacking a random spot?”
“No no no, I won’t answer!” The girl shakes her head and pouted her cheeks. She leaned forward placed her face near Naomi’s and said. “First, we must introduce ourselves before we began our conversation!”
Naomi put her hand on her chin and nodded. “That’s true. I’m Mugetsu, the Boss of Moon of Akasha. So what’s your name?”
The girl backs off from Naomi and sits straightly while putting her hand on her chest.
“I’m glad you asked! My name is Melaine! Melaine Monet! Nice to meet you, Lady Mugetsu!” The girl introduced herself in an energetic manner.
“And what’s your purpose of imitating my organization, Melaine?”
“Because I fell in love with you!” Melaine said as she leaned forward again and her eyes shine.
‘Yes?’ Naomi was taken aback and could only think one word.
