Chapter 58: Avos Island 9
“G-GH Y-Y-YOOOU A-A-RE F-FINE?!!” Dorizo shouted in a cracked voice as he tried to stop the bleeding from his legs.
“You managed to surprise me. I underestimate a bunch of thugs and almost get myself done. Fighting in limited strength is harder than I thought.”
Naomi picked a bullet from the ground and inspected it. Because the bullet collided with Naomi’s Telekinesis Armor, it got shattered. But the piece that Naomi picked is enough for her to recognize it.
“This bullet, how did you manage to get it?”
Naomi slowly approached Dorizo and controlled her chakrams to keep him on the ground.
“T-That’s none of your business!” Dorizo tied a piece of clothes on his severed legs and managed to at least stop the bleeding. He sat on the ground and spat on Naomi as his last effort.
“Well, it’s my business. This bullet came from my company, so it’s my business. So, tell me. Where did you get this bullet?”
Naomi chakrams approached Dorizo neck from 3 directions. He gulped his saliva as he looked at Naomi.
“I-I won’t answer you! Just kill me right now and investigate it yourself!!” Dorizo refused Naomi although chakrams were rested on his neck.
‘Hou, interesting. What should I do? Shall I leave it to the professional?’ Naomi thought as she considered calling Hotaru and Mischa to deal with Dorizo and his gang. And finally, Naomi decided to call Hotaru.
‘Let’s leave it at the professional. I had enough fun this time. More importantly, I hate investigating things. It took too much time, it’s better if I attack someplace as Mugetsu instead of investigating this.’
“Well then, I’ll leave the professional to investigate it.” Naomi pulled out her holo phone and called Hotaru. The call was answered immediately by Hotaru.
“Naomi, what happened?” Asked Hotaru.
“Ah Miss Nobi, can you come here? I will send you my location, I was attacked.” Answered Naomi calmly.
*Crash*
A loud noise was heard from the phone followed by Hotaru’s yell.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! I WILL GO THERE IMMEDIATELY!!”
“Okay~ I will wait here.” Naomi ended the call and sent her location to Hotaru. She turned to Dorizo and said to him.
“Somehow, try to survive for a bit longer so they can interrogate you okay?”
Naomi used her Telekinesis to call back her chakrams which were embedded on the ground and flew away from cutting Dorizo’s legs. She also pull her suitcase toward her and put her chakrams back inside.
After getting her weapon back, she lifted the ball of bullets and threw it away in the direction of the sea with her full strength. She didn’t even bother to hide her strength from the thugs because she believe that when Hotaru interrogated them she will take Naomi’s side of the story.
Satisfied with her work, she turned towards the thugs and gave them a threat.
“All of you saw nothing, okay? After all, you promised me to live an honest life. And the one who cuts your friend’s legs is a random Esper who accidentally saved me. Understood?” She smiled and the thugs nodded furiously at her.
Soon, Hotaru teleported with Mischa in their full PD’s uniform. Hotaru looked around and readied her weapon. When she looked towards Naomi, she immediately approached her and shouted.
“Naomi!! Are you okay?”
Hotaru touched Naomi’s body to ensure that she was alright. Mischa, on the other hand, looked at the situation and turned visibly confused. She saw a few thugs with their legs cut and their weapons were thrown on the ground. Even so, she didn’t lower her guard and prepared to shoot anyone with her handgun anytime.
“I’m fine, more importantly.” Naomi turned towards Dorizo and 2 fainted playboys not far from him.
“I think those 2 fainted guys over there trying to kidnap me and hire this big guy.” She pointed at the playboys and then Dorizo who turned pale because he lost a lot of blood.
He bits his lower lips and tried to not make any sound. After watching Naomi’s display of power by throwing the ball of bullets with ease, he once again realized that he mess with the wrong person.
He wanted to argue about something, but he was afraid that Naomi would kill him on the spot if he spouted any kind of information. That’s why he was happy when Naomi called the PD. That way his life would be saved, but the question is. Why did the girl ask his subordinate to not tell anyone about what she did to them and gave the credits to imaginary Esper?
‘Fool, you just dig your grave. You asked my subordinate to keep your power a secret because you wanted to hide something, and I will make use of this information to negotiate with the Esper Association.’ Thought Dorizo while he trying to keep his expression under his control so no one would realize his plan.
“Did he? But, are you really fine?” Hotaru didn’t even look in Dorizo’s direction because she was worried about Naomi’s well-being. She didn’t even realize that the thugs were surrendered and raised their hands with fear written on their faces.
“Hotaru, it seems they have surrendered already.” Mischa approached Hotaru and Naomi while keeping watch for her surrounding.
“And from what Naomi had said earlier, isn’t the boss of these guys is a big guy with no legs over there?” Mischa send her gaze at Dorizo.
Just then, Hotaru observe the situation and saw that Dorizo’s legs were gone with blood sticking on his clothes appeared to be fresh. She turned towards the other thugs and saw them raising their hands high without any resistance.
Only then, she turned towards Naomi with a questioning look. “What happened?”
Naomi scratches her cheeks with her right hand and answered Hotaru. “I call you when it was over. There is an Esper with the ability to control wind who saw me surrounded by these thugs and decided to help me. I don’t know his name, but I think he’s the same age as me.”
‘I hope she buys my excuses. Well, even if she didn’t believe me, I think she will think that I managed to defend myself? And, what a fool am I? I told the thugs to keep my ability a secret when there is no need to. Well, because I was satisfied today, I will leave it to them.’ Thought Naomi as she secretly glanced at Dorizo.
“An unknown Esper who saved you?” Mischa asked Naomi and squint her eyes.
“Yes, he flew in that direction right before you teleported here.” Naomi pointed in the direction of the school which make Mischa frowned.
“I see, I believe you, Naomi.” Mischa smiled as she put her handgun in the holster on the right side of her waist.
She turned to Hotaru and said. “Can you send Naomi back to the hotel first, Hotaru? And I will appreciate it if you came back here as fast as you can with some helping hand to send these guys to the Esper Association for questioning.”
“No problem.” Hotaru put her handgun on the holster on her waist and put her hand on Naomi’s shoulder. “Are you ready?”
Hotaru asked Naomi which she replied with a nod and they teleported to Naomi’s hotel room.
They appeared right on top of the bed and stumbled over because of the uneven footing. Naomi’s head bumped into Hotaru and both of them hold their head reflectively.
Thud
“It hurt!” Whined Hotaru as she rubbed the spot that bumped into Naomi’s head.
Naomi didn’t say anything, she just sent a glare to Hotaru.
“S-Sorry okay? It’s my fault. W-well, Mischa still needs help so I need to go now!! Bye Naomi, and stay here before we come back!!” Hotaru disappeared from where she has been and Naomi was left alone in her hotel room, still rubbing her head that bumped into Hotaru.
‘That’s close!! I’m glad I deactivate my Telekinesis armor before Hotaru teleported me. If my armor is still active, Hotaru’s head would’ve blown into smithereens!’
Naomi leave the bed as she pulled out her holo phone and called someone. As always, every time she made a call, the other side answered it quickly without missing a beat.
“Ah, I have some task for you.” Said Naomi calmly.
The speaker buzzed for a second before a girl's voice answered Naomi.
“Your wish is my command, Princess.”
