Naomi didn’t go to the base that day, instead, she goes to the city. Her destination was a Holo shop, a shop that sells a variety of holo phone and their accessories. She thinks it was the time she buys a holo phone. All this time, her parents had contacted her through a wired phone. That’s why she can’t track her parent’s location, if she uses a holo phone, there is a chance to know her parent’s location.

The other reason was that she had money to spare now. Hyun-Woo has been distributed some of the profit to the members and Naomi, that’s because for some reason Hyun-Woo said.

“Princess, weren’t you just a teenager right now?” Naomi had no reason to hide it. That’s why she just nodded to his question. “Then take this Princess, you are our Boss and benefactor, that’s why you should focus on our objective. Leave making money to me! Use the money as much as you want to achieve our objective.” Naomi had no reason to refuse and take the money. She was grateful to have extra money to spend, her parent indeed gave her money enough for her to live in luxury every month, but getting extra money was always welcomed.

Naomi entered the store and was welcomed by the clerk.

“Welcome to the Holo Store! What do you need today?” The clerk was an energetic young man. Because Naomi already decided what to buy before she came here, she immediately told the clerk about what she needed.

“The latest edition of Holo Phone please.”

“Certainly! Please wait here.” The clerk go to the counter and took out one holo phone. “Here it is the latest edition of holo phone, would you like an explanation about the product?”

“No need, but can you help me set this up?” Asked Naomi. She never had a holo phone before, that’s why she doesn’t know how to set it up for the first time.

“Certainly!” Then the clerk began setting up Naomi’s holo phone. The clerk asked Naomi about her information to input it on the holo phone. After a few minutes, the clerk has done setting the holo phone and informed Naomi.

“The initial setting is done, please go to the cashier to pay and fetch your holo phone.”

Naomi went to the cashier to pay for the holo phone. She took out a blue card and swipe it in a scanning device to pay. The only way to pay something right now was using a card. This card was issued 80 years ago as the main way of paying all around the world. To transfer money from one person to another, they could use a holo phone or using a device to scan the card. Because Hyun-Woo respects Naomi’s privacy, he made a new card for Naomi to use rather than transferring the money directly to Naomi’s card. Right now, Naomi uses her own card to buy a holo phone. She transferred all the money from the card Hyun-Woo gave her to her own card already.

“Thank you for your purchase.”

Naomi went back to her home after the purchase was done. After purchasing the holo phone, the first thing Naomi did was to call her parent. At least she wanted to know where they were or what their job was. She dialed her dad’s number on her holo phone, after ringing for a moment, a man's face appeared on the holo phone’s hologram screen.

“Hello~ Naomi! My cute little girl~ You finally bought a holo phone. Your dad is happy to see you!!” The face of Naomi’s dad had appeared on the screen. He was a man in his thirties with short black hair and black eyes. If a word could describe her dad, then it was ordinary. His name is Akasa Tetsuma which means steel horse.

“Dad, it’s been a month since we talked. And how many months it has been since I saw your face?”

“4 months? I already told you to buy a holo phone so we can see each other more frequently! But you always refused with reason ‘I like my laptop better’ that’s why I need to borrow my colleague's computer in order to see your face!! The holo phone had its own operating system that can’t be used cross-platform after all.” Naomi’s dad put a sad expression on his face and muttered. “Even when I gave you money to buy it…”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. How are you and mom doing dad?” Asked Naomi. Although her parents left her in Japan to work overseas, Naomi had a good relationship with them. After all, they called every now and then and talked about what happened in their life.

“Ou! We are good here. How about you Naomi, do you managed to make a friend?” Naomi’s dad looked concerned when he said that. After all, there are no parents that wish their kid to be alone, maybe some families but they were a minority.

“I’m good, and I managed to make 4 new friends.”

‘Or rather 4 underlings.’

“Mom!! Come here!! Our Naomi had made 4 friends!!” Shouted Naomi’s dad.

“Keep your voice down!! We tried to work here!!” A woman's voice could be heard through the speaker. The loud voice belonged to Naomi’s mom. “Switch! I wanted to talk to Naomi too.” A woman's face appeared on the screen, she was a beautiful woman looking like in her twenty, but her real age was beyond thirty already. She had long black hair tied into a ponytail and red eyes. Her name is Akasa Mizuki which means beautiful moon.

“So Naomi, your dad was shouting about you getting 4 new friends. Is that true?” Asked Naomi’s mom.

“Well, yeah. But that’s not important mom. I want to ask something.”

“What is it, Naomi? But make it fast okay? It was busy here.”

“Then mom, what is your job? Today there was a representative from Esper Association inviting me to join one of their programs. She said that my parents were the ones that recommended me.”

“Ah! That program huh! I remember, you always wanted to join the Esper Association right? That’s why we recommended you.” Explained Naomi’s mom.

“Yeah, I accepted it. But more importantly, what is your connection to Esper Association? You even had the power to recommend me to join their program means for genius from the world.”

“Oh right, about that. We are working or rather owning a weapon manufacturing, both cold and firearms. Esper Association is one of our clients, they asked us a favor in the past and we asked for your admission on their new program as the payment.”

“Is that so, well good luck on your job mom.”

“Of course! and I forgot to tell you something. We will go home next week.” My mom winked as she said that.

“Really?!”

“Yes, we plan to open a branch in Japan.”

“Then I will wait for your arrival mom.”

‘My parents own a weapon manufacturing, shall I rope them in? After all our organization lacked in terms of weaponary.’
