Chapter 214: Prelude to War 30
A day has passed since Naomi turned back into a girl.
She went back to the base in the sky together with Mischa. Melaine stayed on the base in Germany because she was too tired. Chi also stayed in Germany because she was needed by Mizuki too.
As Naomi rested in the base with Mischa, the base in Germany was busy. The researchers were continuing their research about the ring that used Esper’s blood to utilize Esper’s power. Not only that, but Mizuki also led the research team from Akasa Inc. to continue their investigation of the Nukes.
Naomi was sitting on a chair in front of the house on the base while enjoying a coffee brewed by Julia and watching the sunrise.
She wore casual clothes composed of long black denim pants with a belt around her waist. She also wore a black shirt before her height increased, so it was a bit smaller than her, showing her cleavage. However, it suited her. She also put on a gray wool jacket that looked comfy to complete her fashion.
“It’s so peaceful.” Muttered Naomi as she sipped the coffee that she held with her hand.
After a long day of finding the Esper Association’s executive, fighting one of them, and turning into a boy, she felt that today was rather peaceful. She was also getting used to the change in her height and figure after a night.
She was enjoying her rest day. A day was 24 hours for her, so her rest was not over yet. There was still around 9 hours before her rest officially ended.
To be honest, she wanted to have a longer rest after she realized her feelings toward Mischa. She wanted to take her on another date. It made her think that maybe increasing her rest time for the day until the investigation about the nukes was over wasn’t so bad.
That way, she could take Mischa to many places for a date and hopefully make her become her’s.
In the sky in the distance, a flock of seagulls was catching the fish that jumped out of the sea. Looking at them, Naomi started humming happily. Such a calm atmosphere was a first for her, and this time, she wasn’t bored or anything for some reason.
“Hmn~ Hn~”
When she hummed happily as she saw the seagulls catching fish in the middle of the ocean, a voice called out to her from above.
“Naomi? What are you doing there?”
Naomi turned to the left and caught the owner of the voice, Mischa, peeking through the window from the second floor. She was still wearing white pajamas, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
“Did I wake you up?” Asked Naomi as she put the cup of coffee on the table.
“No.” Answered Mischa shortly. “I have woken up, but your humming made me curious, so I took a look at you.”
“I see. Do you want to join a morning coffee? You can ask Julia to brew the coffee for you.”
“I will. Please wait for a moment; I will change my clothes first.”
“Sure.”
Naomi waited for Mischa while enjoying the scenery in the distance. She crossed her legs and let the breeze from the sea blow her long hair. It fluttered in the sky as if dancing, following the tune of the wind that guided it.
She held it with her hand to keep it tidy. Having long hair was such a pain for her, but she quite liked it because it was similar to Mischa, so she purposely didn’t cut her hair.
A few moments later, Mischa finally appeared from the house while holding a tray with two cups of coffee on it. She wore a sleeveless one-piece white dress that looked cute on her.
“I bring you more coffee, Naomi. Anna said that I should bring you more because you love coffee.”
“Thank you. Coincidentally, I have almost finished my coffee. You can put it on the table beside me, Mischa. Also, feel free to sit on the chair beside me. Or, do you want to sit on my lap?”
“Wha-what are you talking about?!” Embarrassed, Mischa raised her voice. “I will sit on the chair beside the table!” She quickly put the tray on the table and sat on the chair beside it.
Naomi chuckled, seeing Mischa’s behavior. She wouldn’t get bored if things were like this every day. But, alas, before she had fun with Mischa like this, the Esper Association had declared a War first. After both sides were ready, a full-blown war would commence.
As the leader of Moon of Akasha, she couldn’t leave her duty to lead them. That was why she would enjoy today fully, by teasing Mischa.
She glanced at Mischa and saw that she was looking at her weirdly. When she noticed her gaze, she looked away and pretended to sip a coffee from the cup that she held.
‘She’s so cute. I am glad that I met her that day.’ Thought Naomi.
She put the empty glass on the table and took the freshly brewed coffee that Mischa got for her.
They were sitting there without saying anything to each other, only enjoying the sight of grasses and the sea view in front of them.
Unknown to them, or maybe purposely ignored by them, three heads were peeking from the side of the house and looked at them seriously.
“Hey, Dan-Bi… Do you think that Princess swings that way?” Asked a red-head, Anna, to her friend.
“Umm… I don’t know. D-Do you think she loves Mischa? From what I see… They are looking at each other with a gaze similar to that in the drama that I watched every night.” Answered Dan-Bi.
“From what I observed so far, I am confident that Princess loves Mischa, and it goes both ways. Mischa also seemed to fall in love with Princess. I wonder what happened yesterday? They love each other, but it doesn’t seem that they have become a couple yet.” Commented Julia.
The three of them had curious gazes and playful grins as if they had been thinking the same thing.
“Should we assist them?” Asked Anna.”
Dan-Bi and Julia nodded their heads excitedly.
“Alright!” Anna exclaimed. “Let’s help them. I will name it Operation Love!”
“Ou!” Dan-Bi and Julia shouted excitedly.
Naomi, who tried to ignore them, smiled wryly.
‘They are too loud! I can even hear them from here!’
