I was bored so I made a secret organization

“I searched for you everywhere but here I found you using your ability to play a game with…” She looked at Melaine and continued. “…a kid younger than you.”

Naomi almost laughed when Mischa who wear casual clothes like the one that she wore when she and Naomi picked their uniform said that as she looked at Melaine who was pissed off because Mischa called her a kid. But more importantly, she was glad that Mischa didn’t recognize Melaine. She looked at Mischa and said.

“Well, there were some circumstances that I can’t say to you regarding today.”

It was at that time that Mischa realized that Naomi didn’t wear her daily clothes but a white shirt and black pants that she usually wore when she was on duty as Akasa Inc.’s manager. She looked at the supposed to be a kid again and asked Naomi.

“Were your circumstances related to that kid and playing with her?” Mischa said as she looked at Melaine with squinted eyes.

Hotaru that was standing behind Mischa was wearing a casual blue shirt and white skirt. She looked at Naomi with eyes that said ‘Could you explain this so we can move from this place?’

But Naomi didn’t look at Hotaru, instead, she looked at Melaine who was pissed by Mischa and almost jumped at her anytime to show that she’s in fact SSS-Ranked Esper and she can kill Mischa anytime. Mischa and Melaine were staring at each other with increased intensity as the time passed on.

But their staring contest was interrupted by a laugh that coming from Naomi who can’t hold it again.

“Hahahahaha, what is this situation? I never expected to see you getting pissed off like that, Melaine. And Mischa, she’s not a kid if you are wondering about it. She’s an employee under me that I kept as a secret. I called her here to help me with my work because… someone who promised to help me turned out to be slacking on their jobs.”

With Naomi’s words, Melaine blinked her eyes repeatedly and blushes. She was unexpectedly pissed off when Mischa called her a kid in front of Naomi. While Hotaru suddenly coughed when she heard Naomi mentioned works and Mischa too realized that.

Three of them were put in an awkward situation until Naomi proposed something. “How about we move from here from now? I think I saw a stand of Iced Tea on the first floor. How about we talk over a glass of Iced Tea?”

They accepted Naomi’s idea and went to the first floor. Melaine latched on Naomi’s right hand and linked it with her own hand. She looked at Mischa and sent a smug smirk to Mischa before she turned back and walked away. Mischa and Hotaru followed behind them in wonder, who was the kid that Naomi allowed to get that close to her.

Somehow, Mischa was irritated when she watched Melaine that linked her hand with Naomi. After a few seconds though, Naomi pushed Melaine away from her and said something.

“Remember what we talked about earlier? I will really do that if you kept clinging on my arm.”

Melaine had a look of horror and shakes her head repeatedly before she walked again beside Naomi, this time she kept her distance from Naomi. Unconsciously, Mischa had a small smile on her face when she saw it. While Hotaru was obviously didn’t realize about it and whispered to Mischa in a worried tone.

“Hey Mischa, don’t you think that girl is familiar to you? Like, I felt chill when I stood near her. She’s… a high-ranked Esper, didn’t she?”

Hotaru whisper had made Mischa aware of the pressure that Melaine emitted. She frowned and looked at Melaine’s back with a serious face and whispered back to Hotaru.

“Naomi said that the girl was a secret employee of Akasa Inc. Maybe she will tell us about her if we wait for now, just trust Naomi in this.”

As they whispered to each other, they arrived at the elevator and entered it. Mischa and Hotaru chose to stand behind Naomi and Melaine without saying anything because they were still wary of Melaine.

Naomi on the other hand was confused, why did they suddenly turn silent after the exchange that they had in the arcade section? She knew that Mischa and Hotaru will eventually realize the pressure that Melaine emitted, but why they didn’t say anything about that?

While Naomi was thinking about that, Melaine suddenly turned to Mischa and Hotaru and said.

“Why does both of you suddenly didn’t say anything? Was my pressure too much to handle?” She smirked smugly while she said that.

Naomi face-palmed when she heard Melaine confront the matters that she thought about in a direct way. She understood that a direct way of confronting things is the fastest way, but at least they can do that with a glass of Iced Tea in front of them to ease the situation a little. That’s why Naomi decided to interfere before Mischa or Hotaru could say anything.

“Melaine, just shut up for now, okay?” Naomi said in a cold voice which surprised Hotaru. Mischa already knew this side of Naomi when she scolded her, that’s why she’s not too surprised anymore.

Melaine on the other hand, get the biggest impact out of them. She was surprised beyond belief and when she saw Naomi’s cold expression, she thought. ‘Oh crap, I just obtained a free ticket to visit Stratosphere.’

Melaine thought of the best way possible to avoid her reward to visit the Stratosphere and decided to use her last move.

“I’m sorry… I will not say anything from now on.” She apologized.

Naomi nodded in satisfaction and put on her normal expression again as she turned to Mischa and Hotaru.

“I will explain about this girl later, this is not the best place to explain it. Well, today is my rest day so I would be grateful if you can delay this matter until midnight. I will explain the basic thing after we got our drink to calm ourselves, okay?”

Both of them just nodded in confusion. Both of them have the same thought at this moment.

‘Naomi is scary!’

“Now, ask anything.” Said, Naomi.

Right now four of them were sitting around a table in one of the stands located on the first floor of the shopping center. Naomi managed to find the stand easily because it was near the entrance. Mischa and Hotaru decided to sit in the stand to ask Naomi for an explanation.

Because there were only two chairs on each side of the table, Melaine instantly claimed the position beside Naomi and leaving the two PD officers to sit side by side across them. They ordered four drinks which were served almost immediately as soon as they took a seat.

Hearing Naomi’s word, Mischa decided to ask one thing that bugged her all this time.

“Naomi, who is that girl?” She said as she looked at Melaine that was sipping her Iced Tea on the table with a blissful expression.

“As I said earlier, she’s an employee of Akasa Inc. that worked directly under me. My parents didn’t know her existence but I planned to tell them about her later.” Explained Naomi.

Hotaru that was worked under Naomi as her bodyguard since she first took the position as Akasa Inc.’s manager was confused. How could Naomi able to recruit a girl like Melaine that sat in front of her when Naomi clearly almost never left her office? But before she managed to ask that, she was interrupted by Mischa’s outburst.

“That’s not what I mean!!!” Shouted Mischa. “How could SSS-Ranked Esper like that girl worked under you is what I ask!!” Continued her.

Melaine put her tea on the table and smiled wide. When Naomi looked at Melaine’s smile, she knew that she will tell Mischa about that, well that’s the most rational reason so Naomi didn’t interrupt Melaine this time.

With her chest puffed and her hand on both sides of her waist. Melaine said proudly to Mischa. “Because I fell in love with Lady Naomi, of course!”

Mischa and Hotaru were dumbfounded and the world seems to stop for a while before Mischa snapped back and asked Naomi.

“…Is that true? That’s her reason?”

Naomi nodded her head as she answered Mischa. “That’s what she said.”
