“Why did you sit relaxedly while drinking tea in this situation, Mischa? Don't tell me that you don't know Mugetsu is Naomi?!” Hotaru shouted as she ran towards Mischa and was about to use her ability to teleport them away.
When she was about to reach her, Melaine moved first and made Hotaru fall to the ground and did a joint lock to Hotaru, locking her movement.
Hotaru’s right arm was locked between Melaine’s thighs. Her hand was gripped by Melaine, not allowing her to move even an inch.
Because Melaine used her ability, Hotaru didn’t realize that she was on the ground.
“What are you doing?! Release me!” Hotaru struggled to release Melaine’s grip, but she can’t do anything as Melaine was stronger than she thought.
Melaine grinned at Hotaru.
“You are about to teleport Mischa away, right? I can’t let you do that to our newest member you know?” Melaine said in a joking tone.
Mischa held her head after she heard Melaine. How can that girl just divulge that she joined Naomi to Hotaru?
“Newest member?” Hotaru stopped struggling and asked in a confused tone.
She was still confused about what happened. And when she just regained her consciousness, she found Mischa sitting in front of Naomi and Melaine.
Hotaru was in that place when Naomi revealed her true identity. She can’t believe what she saw, and she was confused.
“Haa- Calm down, Hotaru. First, you can sit here and listen to what I say. I will tell you about everything.” Mischa let out a sigh and said in her usual tone.
“Hahaha, as expected of Hotaru. Your reaction never disappoints me.” Naomi laughed and then looked at Melaine.
“You can release Hotaru, Melaine. I bet Mischa has activated her ability to stop Hotaru from teleporting.”
Naomi smiled at Mischa as if she knew what she did. Mischa let out a little sigh and nodded her head.
Today she was letting out more sighs than usual.
‘Maybe because I am tired?’ thought Mischa.
Melaine used her ability again and disappeared from the top of Hotaru. She re-appeared beside Naomi and pouted her face.
“What a bummer! I just have fun trying my new joint lock technique.”
“Well, Hotaru was confused and looked funny over there. But I must stop you because if I didn’t, then Hotaru will start taking hostile action.”
Naomi looked at Hotaru who stood up and dusted her clothes behind Mischa.
Mischa urged Hotaru to sit beside her, and she followed what Mischa said with a wary gaze.
When Hotaru sat beside Mischa, she looked at Naomi while biting her lips and then looked away.
“How can you sit there with a smile after deceiving me, Naomi?” Hotaru said while looking away from Naomi.
She didn’t want to look at Naomi. Right now she felt betrayed by someone who was with her for more than a year.
Hotaru even looked away from Mischa.
“Hotaru… hear my explanation first, okay?” Mischa put her hand on Hotaru’s shoulder and said in a low voice.
Hotaru didn’t turn to her, but she nodded her head a little.
“You see, Hotaru. When I was a child, I had no idea who my parents were. I was brought up by the Esper Association, but you do know about that, right?”
Hotaru once again nodded her head, but she now looked down on the floor with her expression hidden from Mischa and Naomi.
Melaine sipped her tea with delight, ignoring Hotaru because it didn’t matter for her.
“But there is a story that I hide from you and Naomi. It wasn’t because I wanted to hide it, but it was because I couldn't tell you. Until something that controlled some of my actions was removed by Naomi’s subordinate.”
Hotaru’s head jerked up and looked at Mischa with widened eyes.
“What?” Hotaru asked Mischa with a raised voice. She was surprised because it was Mischa who told her.
Mischa that she knew was someone who never joked about something serious. If she said that there was someone who controlled her, then that must be the truth.
“If you are wondering, it’s a light suggestion that I will never betray the Esper Association and I must hide my past. Because what happened to me in my childhood must never be known by others. That incident, if I tell the media about it then the Esper Association will lose the trust from the civilians.”
Hotaru went silent. She had worked in the Esper Association since she graduated from the school. But she didn’t know any of that.
“Are you serious?”
If the news could shake the trust toward the Esper Association, that meant.
“Are you okay?” Naomi asked Mischa with a worried tone.
She never wanted to take part in Mischa consoling Hotaru, but after she heard what Mischa said, she can’t help but ask.
Mischa and Hotaru looked at Naomi and saw her having a worried face that they had never seen.
“Are you okay, Mischa?”
Hotaru then realized. That Naomi was still Naomi even though she’s a leader of the organization that made a mess of Esper Association.
Mischa smiled at Naomi and answered her.
“That was in the past. Now I have a lot of friends, so I am fine.”
“Then it’s fine.” Nodded Naomi.
Mischa looked at Hotaru again. She had a small smile on her face.
“I am indebted to you, Hotaru. You have accompanied me all this time. If you wanted to go back to the Esper Association, I won’t stop you. But please hear Naomi’s story first.”
Hotaru nodded her head and finally, she looked at Naomi with a serious expression.
“Let’s hear it.”
***
After hearing Naomi’s story, Hotaru went upstairs with Mischa. Naomi who was free was sitting on the roof while drinking a coffee that she made herself.
She looked at the sky that turned orange with a bit of frown on her face. In her left hand, there was a holo phone.
“They moved too fast.” Muttered Naomi as she raised her holo phone in front of her face.
On the screen of her holo phone was a message from her parents. More specifically, it was her mother.
“She wanted me to visit Germany’s office?”
It was a message that was asking Naomi to meet them as fast as she can. Knowing Mizuki’s personality, she will not take a no for an answer.
If Naomi refused Mizuki’s invitation, Naomi knew that her mother would use all Akasa Inc.’s power to track her.
“It seems that I have no other choice.”
She drank the coffee in the cup in one go and jumped down the roof. She entered the house and went into her room which was located on the second floor.
It was a room that was prepared for Naomi in case she wanted to stay in the base. It was never used, but all kinds of clothes were prepared in the closet.
Naomi changed her outfits into black pants and a white shirt under a black suit. She also put on black gloves and wore combat boots in case she was ambushed by her enemy.
She exited her room and saw Mischa standing in the hallway wearing black pants and a white shirt.
“Where are you going, Naomi? The sun has almost set.”
Naomi smiled at Mischa and raised her right hand.
“I will meet my parents. They contacted me.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, then I will go now.”
Naomi walked past Mischa and went downstairs. She didn’t notice that Mischa looked at her with a worried expression.
She exited the house and then fly in the direction of Germany.
‘Well, let’s finish this today. I am prepared for hearing a shout from my mother.’
