Naomi landed on the former flying base that was now in the middle of the ocean and was greeted by Julia when she entered the house.
“Princess, I have been informed by Rekka about everything. Please leave that girl to me, I will take her to the room on the second floor which was now empty.”
Naomi nodded her head at Julia and brought Hotaru to her. Julia carried Hotaru in her hand without any problem and she went upstairs.
Naomi sighed and sat on the couch while stretching her arms and legs.
“Melaine, any sign of the Smiling Sun’s boss in that base?” Asked Naomi in a carefree tone.
“No, there is not. I thought that the one called Millie is the boss of Smiling Sun, are you saying that she’s not the one?”
Melaine approached Naomi and sat beside her. She heard Naomi’s declaration earlier, and she was sure that Naomi said that Millie was the boss of Smiling Sun.
That was why Melaine was confused when Naomi asked her about the boss of Smiling Sun.
“No, she’s not. If she’s the boss of the Smiling Sun, then the Esper Association bunch and Topaz will be controlled to attack me. Millie, she’s just an accomplice. Her power went berserk, and you realized how her rank slowly decreased, right?”
At that moment, Melaine noticed something crucial.
“You don’t mean?” Asked Melaine with a surprised face as she looked at Naomi.
Naomi leaned her back against the couch's backrest and looked at the ceiling.
“This is more troublesome than I thought. Esper Association, just how far they are going to mess with people.”
Naomi said in a tired tone and sighed.
This was the first time that she felt the feeling bubbling inside her. She wanted to destroy the Esper Association as soon as possible. But, because she had revealed her identity, she can’t move carelessly now.
“To be honest, I don’t know. I was trying to stop them by using politics, the military, and others. But, all my effort was for naught. My 80 years of fighting can’t be compared to the damage that you caused to them. Even now, they were trying to be discreet about what they did.”
Melaine was telling the truth.
Naomi somehow knew about that. So Naomi looked at Melaine with a smile.
“I know, Melaine. You did your best, and I know about it. If you didn’t even try to stop them, then the member of Moon of Akasha won’t be able to unite like now.”
“Lady Naomi…” Melaine was teared up and she looked away from Naomi with a red face.
They were silent for a few minutes, they just rested their bodies that were tired from the mission today.
Julia went downstairs after she brought Hotaru to the second floor. But when she entered the room, Naomi saw Jorden was following Julia from behind.
He saw Naomi who didn’t wear a mask and exclaimed.
“Ooohh!! What a great honor to see Princess without her mask. This Jorden is happy!”
Naomi looked at Jorden and gave him a warm smile.
“Almost all people in the world know my face now, for sure. Just act like the usual, I won’t wear a mask again if the situation didn’t need me to.”
Melaine looked at Jorden and sighed. She had seen someone like Jorden a few times in her times, a mad scientist type of person.
“Alas, Princess. Why did you reveal your identity to the world?! This Jorden is confused. Your action will be limited, and you can’t enjoy your daily life again…”
Melaine also looked at Naomi. She wanted to ask that question, but she can’t. She had seen too much in her life, and she wanted to let the one that she love decide her own choice.
“I was angry.” Answered Naomi.
“At that time, I wanted to prove to the world. That we, Moon of Akasha, was not wrong. I also wanted to prove to the world. That the Esper Association was wrong and would turn a blind eye to something in front of them. But, to think that Millie would be able to find out about my identity, I had no choice but to reveal it myself.”
Naomi said in a sad tone. That was not her real reason for revealing her identity, but that was enough. The first part was true, that she was angry.
“You could just deny it. That way we can spend more time fooling around like usual.” Said Melaine as she looked at Naomi worriedly.
Naomi looked at Melaine and laughed. She didn’t expect that Melaine can make such a face, and she was certainly never expecting such a reason from Melaine. As that reason was stupid.
“There is nothing that can stop me walking on the street. Why? Just because my identity was revealed, who can stop me from shopping and the other?”
Jorden smiled, Julia nodded her head a few times and Melaine’s mouth was opened.
Melaine then touched her chin and muttered.
“That’s… true. Even though there will be a disturbance, there will be no one who dares to stop you. Lady Naomi, so you are!”
“If I deny Millie at that time, I will be looked at suspiciously. I hate that, you know about it right? If they looked at me with a hostile gaze, fear, curiosity, or admiration then I still don’t mind.”
‘Being looked at suspiciously is not my way, it also unpleasant. And those gazes that I listed was the one that I often received, so I can bear with them.’ Added Naomi in her mind.
“Well then, Princess. It seems that you had planned that from the start. This Jorden will excuse himself. I had cured those girls, and they will be awake in a few minutes. Also, I had removed the brainwashing effect on Mischa Belyaeva with my ability. Turns out she had been consuming some type of drug that was being added with Esper Ability like the perfume. It was interesting, as the effect of the ability was similar to the source of the perfume. You know what I meant, Princess.”
Jorden bowed his head after he said that and exited the house.
Julia followed Jorden to see him off.
“Lady Naomi… could it be?” Melaine had a suspicion after she heard what Jorden said.
“My suspicion was correct. That boss of the Smiling Sun is part of the Esper Association.” Naomi said seriously.
As Naomi said, she heard a step from the stairs. It went downstairs at a fast speed.
Mischa appeared from the direction of the stairs while holding her head with her right hand. She was pale and her expression indicate that she was in great pain.
But, she tried her best to look at Naomi and said.
“Tell me about that. And I hope you explain all of this to me, Naomi.”
What's to explain? Esper association using Smiling Sun as a front to kidnap people to experiment upon or kill people they don't like. Meanwhile those they don't see use for get sold into slavery after likely getting forced onto some drug that will make their minds slowly melt away?
Thanks for the chapter~♥
something like that
@RaizarP Hopefully Mischa listens to reason and see's her point... If she actually does this will be a far bigger blow to the association than anything Naomi has done yet...
Tell him you made an evil secret association to kill your boredom come on tell him XD.
she will die from shock
Bring out the title card!!!
Title Drop! Title Drop! Title DROP!!
Am wondering how naomi's parent did not freak out when they found out that their daugter is the strongest esper, cus if i recall correctly, her parent though she was a c class esper.
I should have posted this last chapter but.... Whatever.
will explain that slowly in the future, be patient?
Thx for the chapter
This was one of, if not the worst directions to take the story.
I am going to drop it here, because I have already seen that the next chapter is not an Epilogue, which is the only thing than can follow after this mess.
(Something along the lines of:
And during the next 2 week Naomi flew across the world wiping out all bases of the Esper Association. Whatever is left, if anything at all, is now an illegal underground organization, afterwards she became ruler of the world until she realized she was bored again...)
The problem with an OP protagonist is, that you have to limit them in some way. You achieved that in this story twofold. One her need or want to stay hidden and two her motivation, or rather lack thereof, to actually win.
With this arc you removed both of those limits making anything other than a total overwhelming victory unbelievable.
Any possible challenge to that victory will now feel like a Deus Ex Machina, since nothing that could feasibly stop her was ever mentioned (other than Mischa, but Mischa is not at that level yet, she needed more power development to be an effective enemy, something she shouldn't be able to achieve in time to go against Naomi).
It's a shame, really. This was the second story I've read on Scribble Hub and basically the one that kept me here...
Naomi: sure let's start with I was so bored I made a secret organization
I'd be a great time to have title drop probably won't happen though hahahaha
When's the next chapter?
Damit if only I could turn my cash to e money I'd become a patron a long time ago.
who knows? By the way next chapter would be next week or in 5 days. I am working on Patreon's extra chapter right now
Thanks for the chapter
