Chapter 6: Base
Naomi, Rekka, and Lee Hyun-Woo walked to one of the shore near the previous Esper Association’s HQ. When they reached the shore, Rekka asked Naomi.
“Um, boss? I wanted to ask something but. How do we call you?”
Naomi hearing his question turned her attention to Rekka. She had realized that she forgot to tell them how to call her. She had introduced herself as Mugetsu, but that was a spur of a moment. When rescuing Rekka from Hokkaido’s Jail, she noticed that today there was no moon in the sky. That’s why she had called herself Mugetsu (Moonless Sky).
“Fair point, I guess that’s important. Then I will allow both of you to call me Mugetsu.” Naomi answered Rekka as she gazed into the sky.
“No, we can’t call you that. In organization rank is important, so please allow us to call you something else.” Said Rekka.
“Is that so? Then think about it yourself, call me anything you want.” The truth is Naomi is glad that he refused to call her Mugetsu.
‘Well, the truth is I wanted to be called boss.’
Rekka and Lee Hyun-Woo began discussing how to call Naomi. The sight of 2 men, both carrying a girl debating about how to call Naomi was amusing. Naomi even chuckled a little.
“How… about…” “No…it’s…then…” they keep debating about how to call Naomi.
Meanwhile, Naomi didn’t forget why she brings them to the shore. She continued her purpose that the 2 didn’t know.
When Naomi found Rekka, she didn’t laze around and just preparing her suit and finding a piece of evidence. She had made a secret base too. At first, she wanted the base to be an underground base or a normal looking café. But after some consideration and her training with her Telekinesis progressed, she decided to make a certain secret base.
The discussion between Rekka and Lee Hyun-Woo continued for a while until they nodded to each other.
“That took both of you a while. So what did you decide?” Naomi asked the two of them.
“Yes, it was an interesting discussion for both of us. We reached an agreement and decided to call you [Princess].” Said Rekka.
‘Wait a minute!!’ Naomi flinched a bit after hearing what Rekka had said.
“That’s right, we are uncertain whatever to call you [Princess] or [Lady Boss]. But after we had a discussion for a while and inspecting something, we settled with [Princess] because we think it’s suitable with you.” Continued Lee Hyun-Woo.
‘Oi!! What do you mean by suitable!! You are looking at my pitiful B Cup, right? Right!? Just you know I am still 14 years old and still growing!!’ Naomi's face twitched hearing Lee Hyun-Woo's explanation. ‘I really wanted to smash him to the ground now. But, I will lose an important sla- member of my organization if I do that.’
Naomi felt the ridicule in the name, but she couldn’t object about it because she was the one who told Rekka to decide it himself.
“Do as you like. I remember you wanted to ask something. What is it?”
“Oh right, princess. May I ask what are we doing here? We just standing on the shore, I am afraid if the Esper Organization’s reinforcement will try to chase after us.” Asked Rekka.
“We are waiting.” Answered Naomi.
“Haa… waiting is it? The truth is I am worried about my sister's condition. Can you please tell me what we are waiting for?”
“Our transportation, then I shall ask something too. Lee Hyun-Woo was it? Can you tell me your ability and your sister's name? If you don’t mind I wanted to know her ability too.” Naomi asked Lee Hyun-Woo after answering Rekka's question. Rekka wasn’t satisfied with her answer but choose to back down, he knows that asking more questions will not produce any further results.
“I don’t mind in the slightest about it. My ability allowed me to create a barrier, and I can add any effect to my barrier. But there is a limit, the more effect I add to my barrier the more fragile it becomes. On the contrary, if I just create a barrier with no special effect the strongest barrier will be created. I can maintain the barrier although I was away, so I don’t need to be near the barrier. Is there any question before I continued to my sister, princess?” Explained Lee Hyun-Woo
“So can you make a barrier to hide something if I asked you to?” Asked Naomi.
“Yes, I can.”
“Then about your sister.”
“My sister's name is Lee Dan-Bi, her ability was to create and control water. Because of something from the past, my sister had to take medicine provided by Esper Association and since then, sometimes she can’t control her ability. She is A-Ranked Esper.” Explained Lee Hyun-Woo.
“I see, your case is like Rekka but it’s the opposite.”
‘Seems like I hit a jackpot with him. I got 2 members, or maybe 4 members in 1 night.’
“Indeed, in my case, their target was my sister. Princess, shall I introduce my sister too?” Said Rekka.
“Yes, I found some info about your sister but I want to hear it directly from you.” The truth is, Naomi doesn’t know anything about Rekka’s sister except for her name and her condition.
“As you know, my sister's name is Homuhara Anna. She is S-Ranked Esper and her ability is Enchantment. She can apply 1 effect on her drawing, the effect is equivalent to the size of the drawing.” Explained Rekka
“And that was why the Esper Association wanted her. Her ability was unique, at least never recorded in history.” Said Naomi. “Let’s save the explanation and introduction later, our transportation has arrived.”
Naomi operated her power since they have arrived at the shore. From distance, they could see a big cloud approaching their destination.
Naomi who wanted a secret base so badly had decided on something ridiculous. When she planned how her secret base, she remembers her Telekinesis and thought ‘Why don’t I made a flying base?’. She decided on a ridiculous idea on a whim. Then she was searching for a deserted island and lifted it to the sky. She used a cloud as a camouflage for her base, using her Telekinesis, she moves a cloud to completely hide the flying island that she uses as her base.
Rekka and Lee Hyun-Woo only saw a big cloud moving in the distance. They thought that their Princess had called a cloud as their transportation. But, all of a sudden the cloud began to disperse and expose a flying island hiding behind it. They were shocked seeing the flying island, but a voice brings them back to their senses.
“I present you, that is our organization base.”
