In front of Naomi’s house, Naomi brought a suitcase in her hand and a bag on her back. Mizuki and Tetsuma looked at Naomi with a smile on their face, while Hotaru stood behind Naomi bringing another suitcase.

Today was the day where Naomi went to Avos Island, it’s been 10 months since the day where Chi visited the base with the new recruits. Things went normally without any attack towards the Esper Association, and Naomi’s organization slowly built its power and numbers.

“Is everything ready, Naomi?” Mizuki asked Naomi with a worried tone.

Because the Esper Association’s program will be started in 1 month, Naomi thought it is time to move to Avos Island in order to get used to the environment on the island. She talked to her parents about it and they agreed with a condition that Hotaru will accompany her for 1 month before school officially started.

“Yes, everything is prepared.” Answered Naomi with a smile.

For other people, Naomi’s reason to go to Avos Island was in order to get used to the environment over there, but her real reason was different.

‘Kuh! I want to go to Avos Island and visited the base that Chi built!! I have no reason to go there all this time, so I’m glad that I could visit the island 1 month earlier than I planned to.’

“How about your self-defense weapon? Did you prepare it already?” Asked Tetsuma.

Naomi raised the suitcase that she held in her hand and patted it. “I have it here.”

“Don’t forget to call us some time, we will be back to the main building of our company in Germany.” Mizuki approached Naomi and hugged her.

“Okay, I will call if I have time. Take care of Dad, Mom. Don’t let him ruin the company.” Naomi hugged Mizuki back.

Naomi ended the hug and stepped back, stopping beside Hotaru. “Then I will go now, Mom” She said as she put her hand on Hotaru’s shoulder.

“Take care. Hotaru, please take care of Naomi.” Mizuki and Hotaru become closer in these 10 months. The reason being Hotaru often had dinner at their house when she teleporting Naomi from office to home.

“Don’t worry Mizuki. I will protect her like usual.” Answered Hotaru.

“Thank you.” They both smiled at each other for a while.

Naomi had enough with their silent interaction and gripped Hotaru’s shoulder. Hotaru winced in pain as she dropped the suitcase that she held and looked at Naomi.

“Isn’t it time, Miss Nobi?”

“It hurt, it hurt Naomi!!” Hotaru said as she tried to look okay.

Naomi released her grip and smiled. “Is that so? You like it right?”

“Demon!! As expected, you didn’t change since we met. You are still a demon!!” Hotaru rubbed her shoulder that was gripped by Naomi.

“Let’s go, Miss Nobi. We need to check in the hotel too, so we need to arrive at Avos Island before the afternoon.” Naomi extended her hand so Hotaru could hold it and teleport together.

Hotaru picked up her suitcase and grabbed Naomi’s hand. “I know, you didn’t need to remind me.”

Naomi turned to Mizuki and Tetsuma and bid them farewell. “Well, then Mom, Dad. I will leave now.”

Tetsuma held Mizuki’s shoulder as he said. “Yeah, show those at Avos Island that you are a genius! Show them that even if you are a C-Ranked Esper, you could beat them!”

Tetsuma by chance saw Naomi when Naomi tried her new weapons at the office. He saw that Naomi’s control over her power is good and she could control her weapon with precision. A normal Telekinesis, with Naomi’s control and her weapon, could become dangerous and had the potential to defeat a higher-ranked Esper.

“What are you talking about, Dad. I’m in operator class, so I won’t have to fight.” Naomi tilted her head puzzled by what her Dad means.

Tetsuma and Mizuki looked at each other with a smile on their face. They had an expression that looked like they had a hidden plan and successfully fool Naomi into their plan.

They looked at Naomi and Mizuki said. “That’s right, just ignore what your Dad had said.”

Naomi looked at them suspiciously and she thought.

‘They are definitely planning something.’

Naomi decided to ignore her parents and she gripped Hotaru’s hand urging her to teleport right now.

Hotaru winced in pain as she said farewell to Naomi’s parents. “Mizuki, we will go now.”

“See you again, I will wait for your message!” Mizuki waved her hand to Hotaru and Naomi.

Hotaru smiled and she teleported to Avos Island’s entrance leaving behind nothing in her previous spot.

In the bridge that connected Japan's main island with Avos Island, 2 figures appeared from a thin air. The guards that were guarding Avos Island’s entrance become wary of the 2 figures. But, after they saw that one of them was wearing PD’s uniform, they lowered their guard and the captain approached them.

The captain scanned Hotaru and saw that her uniform had a badge that indicate she has a higher rank than him. He politely asked Hotaru about her agenda in Avos Island.

“Hello, ma’am, could I ask why did you teleport here?” The captain asked Hotaru with visible confusion on his face.

There has not been someone that teleport directly to Avos Island unless it’s an important matter. That’s why the captain's confusion is justified, he was not informed about anything and suddenly there is someone that teleported right in front of the post that he guarded.

“Hello captain, I am here as an escort of this girl.” Hotaru looked at Naomi as she said that.

The captain's gaze turned to Naomi and observed her when he heard Hotaru’s answer. His gaze turned lecherous when he saw Naomi that wore a tight white shirt and long black pants.

Naomi saw this and frowned. She hate this kind of man, the one that looked at her with a lecherous gaze.

‘I had researched on the internet how to inflict pain on a man and I need to try it. Fortunately, I didn’t need to search for them. Let’s just try it to this guy later.’

“She’s part of the program next month. If you do something to her, I will kill you.” Hotaru threatened the captain with a firm tone.

The Captain got scared and stepped back in response. “N-No, I had no courage to do anything to this Lady.”

Hotaru saw the Captain's reaction nodded in satisfaction. “Good, I will remember you.”

“Miss Nobi, let’s just enter the island and find a hotel. I want to unpack my belonging and look around the island.”

“You’re right, let’s go.”

The captain that scared of Hotaru reacted to their word. He asked them to show their ID to verify their data.

Hotaru handed the captain her PD identification while Naomi handed him her name card.

The captain went back to his subordinate and handed him the identification. The subordinates pulled out his holo phone and scanned their identification. Seeing the result, he nodded and handed the identification back directly to Naomi and Hotaru.

“Your identification has been verified. Both of you are allowed to enter.” He said as he pressed his holo phone and the rail that blocked the way was opened.

“Welcome to Avos Island.” The guard said with a smile on his face.

Hotaru and Naomi crossed the guard post and the rail once again blocked the way.

Hotaru looked at Naomi and raised her hand, “Well Naomi. Let’s go to the hotel!! And after that, let’s go to the famous restaurant on the internet! If I remember correctly, the name of the restaurant was Chi’s Diner.”

Naomi’s ear perked when she heard the restaurant’s name.

‘Chi’s diner? Isn’t she being too obvious?’ she thought.

“Yeah, I don’t mind.”

‘Well, no one realizes it. So I guess it is okay?’

With that, Naomi had arrived in Avos Island.

Meanwhile, in the airport located not too far away from Avos Island.

“Finally I’ve arrived! It’s been a long time since I’ve been in Japan.”

The girl exited the airport as the wind blew her silver hair creating a picturesque scene.

“I wonder what she’s doing right now? I was surprised when Hotaru call me 10 months ago asking if it’s okay to give Naomi my number. How’s her expression when she meets me, I wonder.”

The girl, Mischa Belyaeva smiled as she thinking about the girl that she met when she was in Japan a year ago.

“Well, she said that she will enter the program on Avos Island. I will definitely meet her in that place.”

The gear of fate began to turn once again. There is nothing that can stop the imminent meeting of 2 girls with different fates.
