“Can you please take your hand off Melaine’s? Even though she’s a pervert, she’s still my subordinate.” Said Naomi as she glared at Avos.
Avos just looked at Naomi with a kind smile. He looked like a boy that just graduated from high school and entered Society.
“Sure, I will release Melaine’s hand.” Said Avos nonchalantly as he released Melaine’s hand that he held.
As soon as her hand was released, Melaine pulled her hand back and sent another punch, this time with her left hand while shouting, “Die, Avos!”
Melaine’s punch this time was faster than before. Even Naomi couldn’t see her punch. As soon as she realized it, Melaine’s hand was on Avos’s cheek.
However, Avos didn’t get hit. He moved his hand slowly and said,
“Woah, that’s dangerous. You increase your speed! What a dangerous punch. I almost got hit.”
He then brushed Melanie's hand away, making her grit her teeth in frustration, “Damn it!”
It was a rare sight. Melaine that had proper conduct was cursing non-stop. Naomi had enough with the situation.
She had observed enough, and she called Melaine, “Melaine, sit.” Her tone was cold, and Melaine knew that Naomi was not joking right now.
“But, Lady Naomi! This man, this bastard!!”
“Sit.” Said Naomi again. This time she added her pressure to make Melaine sit on the seat.
Maybe it was as expected from the leader of the Esper Association. Avos was not affected by Naomi’s pressure at all.
No, he even clapped his hands as he looked at Naomi.
“Wow! What a thick pressure! If not for my countermeasures, I would be crushed by your pressure!”
“What a load of bullshit. You are strong enough to hide your pressure from me, and yet you said that?” Countered Naomi as she crossed her hands.
She was still tired after scanning the world yesterday. Even though she had rested on the plane, it was not enough to recover her monstrous energy.
Naomi at least needs a week to fully recover herself. Right now, she could only use half of her usual strength. It was enough to stop Earth’s movement for a minute to destroy the Earth. But she would be exhausted after that.
That was why she was now putting her guard up against the opponent in front of her.
‘He’s dangerous.’ Thought Naomi.
‘I give Melaine Telekinesis armor earlier. And yet, he was able to block her punch nonchalantly?’
Telekinesis Armor worked by sending the force that was contained in the armor to something that hit it. It stopped anything that made contact with the armor and sent a strong force to deflect it. So a weak punch would turn deadly if Naomi used her Telekinesis Armor to coat that person’s body.
There was one more mystery.
‘He’s able to move in a stopped time. How? Even I wouldn’t be able to move if Melaine stopped my time.’
“Ah, you must be curious about my ability, right? It’s written in your face.” Said Avos with a joking tone.
“Don’t listen to him, Lady Naomi! This guy, he’s the biggest liar that I ever met!” Shouted Melaine as she pointed her index finger towards Avos.
“That’s hurt, Melaine. Aren’t I your husband?”
Avos’s words surprised Naomi. “Husband?” She then looked at Melaine. She still had an angry expression as she gritted her teeth.
“Former! I should’ve killed you at that time, you bastard!”
“Your ass is my love. Don’t act so chummy with me, you motherfucker!”
From Naomi’s view, they were just like a couple that just broke a week ago. However, deep inside she knew that Melaine really hated Avos.
Not only that, she somehow knew. That guy, Avos, was similar to her.
“Stop that, Melaine.” Said Naomi. She then turned her gaze to Avos. “What do you want with us? Tell me in ten seconds or I will pluck your head off your body.”
“Ah! How scary! But well, I am here because I got a report from my lovely subordinate named Lucilla, you see? They said that ‘Akasa Naomi is too dangerous! Lord Avos, we need to eliminate her as soon as possible! I need reinforcement on Avos Island, please accept my request! Let’s destroy them completely!’ like that, you see?”
Avos imitated Lucilla as he recounted the communication from Lucilla.
“So I am dangerous? What do you think?” Asked Naomi confidently. She was now grinning at Avos, and Melaine got confused by that.
Melaine was the one who knew Avos’s danger. She knew him. She had fought with him, on his side. She helped Avos to build the Esper Association from scratch. And her biggest mistake was she agreed to his proposal when he asked her to marry him.
That was why Melaine regretted it. She regretted her life. And so she wanted to fix it. By destroying the Esper Association.
She knew the existence of a man called Avos better than anyone. Which was why she was surprised by Avos’s next words.
“Hmm, no. I don’t think you are that dangerous. After all, I think we are more similar than I thought. Just a person with overwhelming strength that got bored with the world. So tell me, Akasa Naomi. Your real reason for creating your organization and opposing my Esper Association. Depending on your answer, maybe I will accept my subordinate’s request and do an all-out war. It will be interesting.”
“Lady Naomi. Please, just don’t say anything to him!” Melaine desperately stopped Naomi, however, Naomi just smiled at Melaine. She patted her shoulder to reassure her.
Even though they were in front of the leader of the Esper Association, Naomi was able to keep her calm. She then looked at Avos with a kind smile on her face.
“My real reason, you said?” Asked Naomi. “Well… I got bored so I made a secret organization. Is that enough for a reason? Your organization is just convenient to be my enemy, so I attacked the Esper Association.”
Melaine froze in her place when she heard Naomi and could only let out an, “Eh?”
Avos, however, burst out into laughter. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.” His hand was on his face. He smiled from ear to ear.
His laughter echoed within the Taxi, and then he finally stopped after a while. His face then twisted in nasty anger as he glared at Naomi.
“Don’t fuck with me, you little girl! You got bored so you attacked the Esper Association?!”
“Yeah.” Answered Naomi, “Why?” She asked Avos, clearly not disturbed by Avos’s twisted expression.
“Well then, let’s say you are bored. I will give you what you want. There is something that can possibly cure your boredom, it’s something called a game... Let’s play a game called war, Akasa Naomi!”
As Avos said that, he disappeared from Naomi’s sight. Right after Avos disappeared, the air at the place where he was earlier seemed to be distorted a little.
Naomi was then left with the frozen Melaine.
‘All blown war, huh. It seems that I gave him the wrong answer. Well... at least it will be interesting.’
