Naomi, Mischa, and Rekka went to Akasa Inc.s main building to et the Queen.
That building had almost all it needed to greet soone at the standing of the Queen, as the company was the biggest weapon manufacturer. Naturally, a lot of important people had visited before, so the reception was smooth.
On her way to the reception room, Naomi was briefed slightly by Rekka. He inford her the Pri Minister and the Police Chief were also present, accompanying the Queen on her visit.
From Germany, the Marshal herself was the one who greeted the Queen, while Mizuki represented Akasa Inc. to welco Queen Elizabeth. Both countries had a good relationship, so naturally, both leaders also got along well.
However, there was still one thing that Naomi needed to look out for. And that was the Queens goal. No one knew why she suddenly visited Germany and why the eting place was specifically set in the building of Akasa Inc. instead of the Marshal office in the main Military base.
From that, the Queens goal of visiting could be guessed. Whatever her goal was, it was related to Naomi or Akasa Inc.
Arriving in front of the reception room, Mischa fidgeted nervously beside Naomi while Rekka was standing behind them like an attendant.
Naomi noticed it. Then she smiled warmly at her friend to reassure her.
Dont worry about it, Mischa. Just think of the Queen as the kind lady that we t in the Opera last night.
Mischa smiled wryly at Naomis words. While Naomi tried her best to reassure, it worked the other way. It made her more nervous, thinking about how she acted in front of the Queen of England in that Opera house.
Only you can say that, Naomi. But thanks for calming down. Mischa said, returning Naomis smile.
You dont look like you cald down, though. Naomi doubted. Well, anyway. Just leave everything to Rekka and . You dont need to say anything unless you are asked.
It is as Pri- Lady Naomi said, Mischa. Just leave everything to us. Rekka added. He almost called Naomi Princess out of habit, but her glare managed to stop him and made him change the way he called her.
Yes. Thank you. Mischa chuckled lightly.
Well then, lets enter. Rekka.
Yes.
Rekka walked first and opened the door for Naomi. It was sothing that she learned while reading so books about manners. Boss wouldnt open the door themselves; they let their subordinates open it for them.
As soon as the door was opened, the atmosphere changed considerably. It beca heavier and tense. It was like a War, but it was peaceful enough that so people were laughing inside.
Especially the three won in the room. They laughed as if they were best friends. The two n looked uncomfortable, sitting beside the middle-aged lady.
When Naomi entered, the two ns faces bead. Finally, the last person that they had been waiting for arrived.
Oho? I see. So its really you, young couple. One of the n, the person that Naomi and Mischa t in the Opera house, smiled warmly when he noticed Mischa walking beside Naomi.
The won stopped talking, too, shifting their attention to Naomi.
Youre finally here, Mizuki said. Youre quite late. We have talked about almost everything.
I am sorry. I spent too much ti preparing myself. Naomi apologized, walking to the empty chair beside Ingrid and sitting on it.
Mischa quietly sat beside Naomi, and Rekka stood between them without uttering a single word.
Fufufu, we cant bla the young Naomi, cant we? I know shes busy preparing her organization for the imminent War that is about to happen. Germanys Marshal, Ingrid, jested. She grinned from ear to ear, like the head of the military she was.
However, Marshal Queen Elizabeth has personally visited us to talk about so matters
Please, Lady Mizuki. I dont mind. Surely, Miss Naomi has sothing important to do. Its my fault for visiting so suddenly. Queen Elizabeth assured. Her smile was so calm and serene, unlike the warm smile she had shown Naomi and Mischa when they t her.
I guess shes also a leader of a country. She has two faces. Personal and Work face. Naomi mused, praising the Queen.
The woman before him was an experienced leader, much more like Ingrid. Even if Naomi was also a leader like them, her experience was nothing compared to theirs. In a way, she was at a disadvantage.
However, she also held an advantage because it seed like they were specifically waiting for her to talk about sothing of importance. This ant they required her input and opinion regarding the matter and couldnt proceed without her.
Every ti sothing had to involve her in the fray, then that sothing must be sothing dangerous that no one else could solve. Maybe sothing related to a teor fall? Or maybe even the moon had been pulled to Earth by so Espers, so they needed her to solve the problem?
She doubted it. It shouldnt be sothing that idiotic. In that case, the Esper Association would create so news and bla those things on Naomi. For the record, she had a history of pulling a teor to Earth to destroy a building in the past.
And, what is this thing that the Queen needs for? I will be happy to help as long as the others allow it. She asked curiously, looking around the room before stopping her gaze at Queen Elizabeth.
Its this. Unexpectedly, the one who answered her question was the man with white hair. He was the Police Chief of England, Philips.
The Chief handed Naomi a piece of paper, sothing rather unusual in her opinion. Even she stopped handling so papers after she stopped handling docunts.
She took the paper and read what was written on it. Her expression changed rather quickly as she read it slowly. Curiosity, then excitent, then disappointnt.
Naomi didnt expect that her enemy would resort to this. She had heard about the Queen from Rekka. While she understood that the existence of another SSS-Ranked Esper could be dangerous for the Esper Association, giving the warning to the Queen would create the opposite effect.
Her opinion of Avos plumted, but then, the man was smart. That Avos wouldnt do sothing like this.
So Naomi said, This is not from the Esper Association. They would never do this.
Mischa, who secretly read the content of the paper beside Naomi, nodded. She agreed with Naomi that no one in the Esper Association would be this stupid to send a warning to a country. It made their reputation look bad.
I think so too. Queen Elizabeth nodded. Thats why I want to borrow. No, et soone. I would like to have him investigate sothing. She continued.
Soone? Naomi asked, putting her head on her hands. Who might it be?
A person nad Abel. I want to et that person and ask him to help us investigate this matter. The Queen said.
Naomi squinted her eyes. She looked at the Queens serious gaze and thought, Who is that? Who is Abel?
