3rd POV

Naomi saw a lot of interesting things on her way to Chi’s café. She saw a strange floating vending machine, and a cleaner robot swiping the streets.

Naomi was amazed by the fact, the cleaner robot was by no means cheap. There are cleaning robots in her office, even each of these robots cost her 10 times the price of her holo phone.

‘This island is really rich. Where did the Esper Association’s money come from? Did they ask for protection money from the peoples?’ thought Naomi.

Naomi continued her walk and she passed by the school that was planned to be used as the program. Naomi will attend this school next month, that’s why she stopped in front of it for a while. She looked at the school and praised it.

‘Hmm, this school is well built. Compared to the one that I destroyed 1 year ago, this one is definitely better.’

That’s right, this was the spot where Naomi dropped her meteor 1 year ago and created a crater around 10 meters deep. Naomi smiled as she remembered her attack that time.

‘That was my first fight with Mischa too. Aah~ I can’t wait to fight her again~’ Naomi feeling satisfied after looking at the school, continue her walk again while humming.

Chi’s café is not that far from the school, Naomi managed to spot it after she turned in the intersection.

Naomi approached the café and observes it. The exterior of the café gave out a nice feeling. The wooden sign hanged in the door with Open written on it, the name board with a word ‘Lunar Café’ attracted the customer attention.

A row of wooden tables and chair arranged neatly outside the café, but they are arranged in a way to not disturb the customer that tried to enter the café.

Looking at the café, Naomi nodded in satisfaction and entered it. She looking around, observing the interior. Flower pots were hanged in the ceiling, slightly blocking the yellow light from the lamp. When Naomi observe it carefully, the lamp above the flower pots were shaped like a crescent moon.

The round table arranged in the café, the bar where one of the waiters tending it were full of customer. In every table inside the café, there is a small pot with bonsai in the middle of it, giving off natural filling.

‘They’ve got a good taste.’ Naomi commented inside her mind. She loves the café, very much so.

One of the waitresses noticed Naomi entered the café, approached her.

“Welcome to Lunar Café, did you come alone?” The waitress asked Naomi politely.

“Yes, I am.” Answered Naomi.

The waitress smiled as she gestured for Naomi to follow her. “Please this way, I will show you your table.” The waitress walked towards the table in the corner of the café.

Naomi followed her and saw that the corner where the waitress took her to is too quiet. There is no other customer in the area.

Naomi began to feel suspicious about it.

‘Could it be, she realized that it was me? No, there is no way.’

Soon, the waitress stopped in front of a table and said.

“Here is your table Miss. If you decide on the order, please just ring the bell.” The waitress said and she left Naomi alone.

‘Oh, just a false alarm.’

Naomi sat at the table and browsing the menu. She saw that almost everything on the menu was something that she likes.

Naomi had decided on her order and she ring the bell on top of the table as the waitress said earlier.

Soon, the previous waitress approached Naomi and asked for her order.

“Are you already decided your order, Miss?”

“Right, I want to order an Omelette sandwich and 1 iced lunar blend coffee please.” Naomi tell the waitress her order and she saw her nodded.

“Alright, 1 Omelette sandwich and 1 iced lunar blend coffee. Is that correct?” The waitress confirmed Naomi’s order once.

Naomi nodded as she confirmed. “That’s right.”

“Please wait a while, the order will be here shortly.” The waitress bowed and walked away to the kitchen area.

Naomi pulled out her holo phone and read some article as she waited for the order to arrive. Naomi tried to find the article about Mischa and she found it on Avos Island’s only website.

She read the article but she closes the website immediately.

“I never learned my lesson. What did I expect from the Esper Association other than bullshit? My good mood is gone now.”

The reason why Naomi closed the website immediately was because the information is bullshit. The article stated; Mischa Belyaeva, the new SSS-Ranked Esper was trained by the Esper Association since childhood.

That was fine for Naomi, but the next thing in the article made her good mood gone. The next sentence was Mischa was the one managed to defeat Mugetsu 1 year ago and made her retreat.

‘I did retreat because of Mischa, but in no way I was defeated. I retreated because it was not the time yet for our fight, I want to save the exciting fight for the last.’

“Tch.” Naomi clicked her tongue under her mask as she saw her suitcase. She got an idea how to welcome Mischa to Avos Island because of the article.

As she decided her course of action, her mood lifted up once again. Naomi didn’t realize that when her mood dropped, the limit of her power level was lifted for no more than a second and the whole café could feel it.

The regular customers maybe only felt a shiver down their spine in a second, but the employees know exactly the feeling. They stopped their work and looked in Naomi’s direction. They tried to feel the previous pressure again, only to find it gone.

The employees didn’t want to take the chance to go against their Princess, even if she is not real they didn’t want to try the chance, that’s why only one person that will send Naomi’s order was allowed to approach her.

Naomi saw the waitress that took her order earlier bringing a tray towards her and set her order on the table. She saw that the waitress appeared to be nervous about something. Naomi just think maybe the waitress wanted to go to the restroom so badly that she’s nervous in front of her and ignore it.

“Please enjoy the meal.” The waitress give Naomi a quick bow and she walked away.

Naomi pulled down her mask as she took a slice of the sandwich and ate it. She enjoyed the texture of the toast and the fluff that the egg gives.

“Hnn~ This is good~” Naomi moaned in delight as she compliments the food.

Only after a while she realized and put the rest of the sandwich on the plate again.

‘I… just moaned? In public? Could it be, because I spent a lot of time with Melaine so I got her habits?? This is dangerous!’

Naomi touched her mouth with her right hand as she paled. The fact that she moaned in public by eating food hit Naomi hard. She prided herself as someone that could hold herself back on anything, but she just moaned.

‘Good thing I am in the corner, I’m sure no one could hear me.’

Naomi looked around to see if someone did hear her. But she didn’t find anything suspicious and continue to eat her sandwich, this time carefully to not let out any strange voice.

When she enjoyed her sandwich, suddenly the door of the café was slammed and 2 girls entered the store shouting.

“Mugetsu!! Come out!!”

Naomi saw Mischa and Hotaru entered the café with their weapon ready as Mischa shouted loudly. Naomi could only sigh in exasperation.

‘Haa- I wanted to surprise her, but it seems she’s the one that surprised me. Not in a good way though.’
