Why are we eting at this place instead of the usual room? Naomi asked laine curiously as she looked around where they were.
On her left side was a busy street in Berlin, while on her right were tables and chairs filled with couples and friends talking together while drinking coffee and tea and a place where they could order drinks. The sky had turned orange, and the street lights were already on.
Naomi sipped the coffee she ordered, crossing her legs while enjoying the aroma.
Because laine said this is a confidential matter? The one who answered Naomi was a white-haired girl in casual clothes. She was Mischa, Naomis beloved one. Thats why you changed into casual clothes, right? That suits you. You look so beautiful, Naomi.
Is that so? I just grabbed a white dress and a black skirt like usual. You also look cute with that blue turtleneck dress, Mischa.
W-Well. At least I want to show you that I can dress this much. Also thank you. Mischas voice was a bit ek as she glanced down shyly.
Naomi stared at Mischa with a smile. Her shy expression healed Naomis heart and cald her down before hearing the serious situation that lained had reported earlier.
Fortunately, they were at a caf, so it was not strange when two girls sat beside each other and did sothing that could cause a misunderstanding.
Well, I love spending ti with her and shutting my brain power off. Being an idiot in love is sotis nice. As expected, being too smart is a curse. I now understand why most people love spending ti outside with the people they like.
Naomi sipped her coffee again as she glanced at Mischa, whose face flushed a little red. The girl tried to calm herself by drinking the tea, and it worked.
They continued to chat while waiting for soone who made them walk to the caf a bit away from the base to avoid getting found out by the others.
Because Naomis attention was really focused on Mischa, she failed to notice that soone they had been waiting for was already near the caf, hiding behind a tree with another person.
Hey hey, Mizuki. Did they do it? That soone, laine, asked the person behind her with an excited voice.
My~ It looks like so. From their personality, I guess Mischa was the one who told Naomi first. After all, my daughter is stubborn and wont do anything unless she finishes one thing at a ti. I heard her saying she would confess after the war, but it seems thats not necessary anymore.
There is that. What should we do? I really dont want to bother them at the mont. This matter we can do it ourselves, but we will need Lady Naomis power in the main war in a week. I want to give them ti together if its possible.
Mizuki stayed silent for a while before deciding, Lets just tell her. She will investigate it herself if we suddenly say that nothing is wrong after making such a commotion. I also dont want to take my daughters good ti, but as I said earlier, shes a stubborn kid. She shrugged her shoulders, but a smile was on her face, a sign that she loved her daughter.
Then, lets approach them.
laine stepped out from the shadow and walked toward Naomi while raising her hand. Mizuki followed from behind after letting out a low sigh.
Lady Naomi! I am sorry for waiting! She raised her voice and greeted Naomi energetically.
Hearing laines voice, Naomi turned around, and her expression beca serious. Youre here. Then, she noticed Mizuki behind laine and continued. Mother too. What actually happened? Her tone was clearly annoyed.
There is sothing bad that happened in the base. laine answered as she sat across Naomi. Mizuki took a seat beside laine as it was the only empty seat around their table. Ah, lets order sothing first. She continued and called the waitress.
The waitress approached them and took their order before returning behind the cashier, making laine and Mizukis order.
The atmosphere around the table was calm rather than serious, even if the topic they were trying to talk about was heavier. It was thanks to Naomi, who had been able to control her emotion better, and the presence of Mischa, which made her calm.
After their new order had arrived, Naomi decided to ask laine first.
So? It was just one word, but everyone knew what she wanted to say.
I made a big mistake. laine started explaining. I was with Mizuki this afternoon, right after lunch, organizing new information and holding a eting with the others to talk about the attack from the Esper Association that will be launched in a week. Of course, Angella was also with because he has so information about the Esper Associations power.
I am aware of that. Tell sothing new.
laine nodded her head, We have received information about the one nad Abel that you sought from Chi. Surprisingly, Abel is a codena instead of a real na. This person worked as an agent, sharing information all across the world. No one really knows his identity. Being a forr information collector, Chi had heard about Abel a few tis in her work.
An unknown information dealer, huh? But thats not all, right? There is no way that information caused such a commotion.
Indeed. After the eting, Angella and I went to the prison to interrogate Andrew about that matter. laine glanced at Mizuki, to which she replied with a nod.
I have heard about it from laine, Naomi. Dont bla her. laine is just worried. Mizuki said.
I see. Its not like I dont want to tell you, but because of the possibility of a spy, I decided to only tell a few people about it. Naomi felt a little bad for keeping a secret from her mother, but it couldnt be helped. It was a piece of dangerous information, after all.
Then thats a relief. You can continue, laine. Mizuki urged.
Alright. Then this is what made the base fall into a commotion. laine continued as she put on a serious face. When I reached the prison with Angella, we found Andrew sprawling on the ground. We thought that he was sleeping, but then we noticed blood around his body on the floor. At that mont, I quickly stord in to check his condition and found out that Andrew had died.
Died? How? Did he bite his lip? Naomi was surprised. How could soone like Andrew die? According to laine and Chi, who interrogated him, he was a rather stubborn individual.
No. laine shook her head. He was shot with a pistol. There was a hole on his forehead, piercing through his skull.
Hearing that, Naomi quickly connected the dot and muttered, The spy. They got rid of him.
