“Is this information valid, Chief?”
A middle-aged woman, Queen Elizabeth, asked the old man in front of him. They were in the middle of a luxurious office room belonging to the Queen, and the atmosphere was tense due to the news the Chief of police brought to the Queen.
“Yes. It was sent this morning to police offices all over Great Britain. Of course, I sent some of my subordinates to investigate it. And the result is… the news in that paper is valid, Your Majesty.” The Chief answered anxiously.
“So they have made their move.” Queen Elizabeth narrowed her eyes as she read the information in the paper once again.
Having news printed on paper was unusual in this day and age. All forms of news were put on the internet and could be read with a holo phone.
Not only that, the device to print words to paper was obsolete, and only a few organizations with a long history had them. England still had a few printing devices, but that was due to the Queen’s husband, Paul, who loved to gather antique devices and equipment.
“I doubt that they will leave our country alone.”
The printed paper was a warning. The Esper Association warned the others not to meddle with the War that was about to come. In exchange, they promised not to involve the other countries in their War. The War between the Esper Association against the Moon of Akasha, and in extension, Germany.
Queen Elizabeth doubted it. She didn’t really trust those people who moved around and gave a warning without giving her face as the Queen of England.
Even if the others and history thought that the Queen was only a figurehead, a position that existed because of tradition, the truth was far from that.
After the Great Esper War, the Queen of England became an official position as leader of the country. There were a few reasons, but the influence was the biggest reason for the Queen to become the leader.
Sighing, Queen Elizabeth looked at her trusted subordinate, that had followed her since she was crowned as a Queen.
“Chief Philips. Prepare a flight, and please call my dear husband. You will come with us too.” She stood up, giving the order to the Chief of police with a resolute tone.
“The Prime Minister, Your Majesty? If I may ask, where will we be going?”
Queen Elizabeth smiled warmly and answered, “We will go to Germany. I think it is time for the Esper Association to step down from being the leader of the world. Also, please don’t forget to contact them prior. I want to arrive tonight, so I am counting on you, Chief Philips.”
The Chief’s expression hardened as he curtsied, “Certainly. I will prepare for it shortly.”
He then turned around and left the room.
After Chief Philips exited the room, the Queen looked out of the window, looking at the full blue moon. When she saw the moon, she remembered the young couple she met at the Opera.
They seemed to be innocent, but the burden that they held on their shoulders was heavy, as two of the strongest Espers in the world. And one of them even had a heavier burden than even her.
She saw the news conference. That person confronted the Esper Association first without any fear and rescued many damned from that place.
‘I look forward to meeting that young couple again.’

“After all of that goodbye, you finally just brought the base to Germany, Naomi?” Mischa asked Naomi as she giggled happily. She didn’t want to miss the chance to tease the stubborn Naomi.
They were in the garden near the parking lot of Akasa Inc., just the two of them, as the others were busy loading some stuff to the island base with the help of Hyun-Woo, who made a staircase made from his solid barrier.
Being her usual self, Naomi left everything to her subordinates and took Mischa to the garden to talk with her.
Well, she left while saying she would give time for Rekka and Hyun-Woo to enjoy their time with their sisters, though in reality, she only wanted to leave the place with Mischa. It was quite irresponsible, but she couldn’t help it.
This might be the last time she would be able to talk with Mischa, so she wanted to utilize the opportunity without wasting it.
Naomi shrugged, “Well, it can’t be helped. I don’t know that Avos will make a move himself. I thought he was the cunning kind one that only stays behind his subordinates.”
“So you left me behind because you thought Avos wouldn’t make a move? Naomi… are you possibly… asking me for help?” Mischa asked with a teasing voice.
After being freed from the brainwashing, she somehow was acting cheekier than before. Even Naomi was surprised by the sudden change in Mischa’s attitude. However, she liked this version of Mischa better.
“Actually, yes,” Naomi answered flatly as she pulled out her holo phone. She opened the video sent by her father, the one showing the Stealth Squad being attacked by five people with similar faces.
She played the video and showed it to Mischa.
Both of them were silent. Only the sound from the video sounded in the empty garden. At first, the video showed the usual footage of the Esper Association’s headquarters in the United States. Naomi fast-forwarded it to when the camera moved a little.
It was at 27 minutes 50 seconds into the video. A girl suddenly appeared in front of the camera, showing her full body that was covered in white suit.
“Huh? She’s…” Mischa exclaimed in surprise as she turned to Naomi.
“Just watch for now,” Naomi answered seriously; her gaze was planted on the hologram screen.
Mischa nodded, and she turned her attention back to the screen.
[This is B-04. I have found the spy.]
The girl seemed to contact someone else through the earpiece in her ear.
At that moment, the Stealth Squad moved to subdue the girl. However, a second later, four girls with similar faces appeared suddenly and pinned the Stealth Squad to the ground.
The camera rolled over and showed the four girls' faces before it blacked out entirely. The video ended, and Mischa turned to Naomi again.
“… T-That… That’s… No way.” Mischa lost her words. She couldn’t say anything due to how surprising the video was.
Finally, she managed to squeeze out her words and asked, “That’s Bel, isn’t it?
“Yeah.”
Indeed. The girls in the video had a similar appearance to Bel, but with white hair and red eyes. Their hair was tied in a twintail, similar to Bel’s hairstyle before she cut it short of imitating Naomi’s.
“The Esper Association seems to create a lot of clones with Melaine’s blood. And from the video, I can conclude…” Naomi paused a little before continuing. “… they had the ability to stop time similar to Melaine.”
“That’s absurd!” Mischa shouted loudly. “So that’s why you need my help. I can understand it, but… the Esper Association has gone too far.”
“That’s what I thought too. And with the appearance of Avos, combined with those girls, the island base will not be a safe place. That’s why I brought it here.”
“I see…”
The atmosphere was gloomy. The temperature seemed to drop a level. It was uncomfortable for both Naomi and Mischa.
Naomi opened her mouth, thinking she should at least make Mischa feel better.
“However…”
But before she could finish her sentence, someone was shouting from the side.
“Princess!! It’s an emergency!”
Naomi immediately turned around and saw Rekka running toward them with a rough breath, proofing that he was running at full speed to get to them. He stopped in front of Naomi and caught his breath for a while.
“What happened, Rekka?” Naomi asked.
“Haa… Haa.. Fuu. Yes. We have received a contact from someone important.” Rekka answered. His breathing turned normal again after he stabilized it.
“Someone?” Naomi tilted her head.
‘Who would make Rekka run like that and shout that it was an emergency?’ Naomi was curious, at the same time intrigued.
Whoever made contact with Rekka was surely someone that could make him panic. And not anyone normal could make the red-haired man panic.
“Yes. It is the Queen of England. The Chief of England police officers told us that the Queen of England is currently on her way to Germany to discuss something. He said it was urgent and to forgive them for the sudden news.”
“Huh?” Naomi and Mischa let out a confused sound.
Rekka, thinking that they didn’t hear him, repeated. “Queen Elizabeth, the Queen of England, is coming here to meet you, Princess.”
