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.
@RaizarP
And, does this world doesn't have satellite?
She could've had barrier man put the invisibility barrier on or she could've put a cloud over the top like a little hat.
@Basically_God the cloud idea would make it even more suspicious xD
@Shurturgal A cloud looking like a cloud makes it more suspicious - gonna have to admit it doesn't quite add up chief.
why not both
@Basically_God I'mma bullsh*t my way through here. The floating island would cause abnormal weather patterns, as rain would not pass through the island (unless if it has dimensional shift properties). So let's say it rains. There would be this tiny chunk of sky where rain would not fall or pass through. It's far fetched that they would look at weather satellite imagery for clues, but it would be a nice place to start investigating phenomenons related to Mugetsu, who possessed telekinesis strong enough to lift up the JP Esper Administration HQ into the sky.
@Lolif*cker Of couse, this assumes the island is big. I'm on copium for how they haven't been found yet.
@Lolif*cker well, you are mostly tight, with two one little exceptions.
First - weather is monitored constantly for weather forecast, and the island would be easily found. Second - airports and their facilities are constantly watching for different kinds of objects in the skies, and if island is close enough to any of them - it will be noticed immediately (usually a couple hundred miles is enought for that), they a lot more difficult time detecting which plane is which, that finding the plane in the air (even in the clouds), and an illsland is sufficiently larger that the plane, which will alert them all immediately.
To be honest, we explored less that 50% of ocean, both surface and floor, and most places are explored with a resolution of a one pixel for a dozen or so miles. So underwater base would be substantially harder to find. If you put a new island somewhere in the ocean, some distance from all the ship lines - it likely will not be noticed for a few dozens of years at least. And if it is under water - well, even submarines are usually found only by accident.
So, if you want a secret base - make it underwater. Then it will not be noticed pretty much ever.
Well, floating above ocean will work too, but it will be a lot easier to see it from the overseas airplane.
Underwater is the best choice here. Especially if it still can fly, if needed.
