A man walks on water.

Something that everyone has probably imagined at least once.

In this world where superpowers exist, this may not be such a rare thing.

but.

Rain’s appearance looked quite, no, very attractive.

That bright smile, which went well with the sparkling water droplets and yellow raincoat, had the power to make anyone who saw it smile warmly.

Is that why?

In Rain’s appearance, I could see Lucy, the main character of [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure].

Lucy always shined so beautifully.

It is said that Rain’s appearance now also shines beautifully.

A pounding heart.

I was caressing her cheek and then I grabbed my chest.

The sound of a pounding heart.

I bit my lip at the strange sensation spreading throughout my body.

” and… .”

Only exclamations came out of his gaping mouth.

Then, at one moment, I met eyes with Rain, who was walking on water.

The girl’s face flushed red under those sparkling gazes.

I raised my hands in a hurry and covered my face with my hair.

If I lifted up my long hair that hung on both sides, it would be enough to cover my face.

Shwaaak-

The rapidly spinning vortex began to slow down.

Rain was unaffected by anything on top of it.

I approached the glass wall as if I was walking down an ordinary street.

“Cool.”

Shine seemed to have similar thoughts to me, and her eyes sparkled as she pressed her face close to the glass wall.

“How is it?”

At that moment, Mary, who was standing next to me, checked the file she was holding and asked Lane.

“It’s okay, there’s no problem.”

“Then shall we end the test here?”

“Is that so?”

Lane stamped his foot at Mary’s words.

With a “bang!” feeling, of course there was no sound, but the water droplets that had splashed up scattered in all directions.

At that moment, the vortex spinning beneath Rain’s feet began to slowly slow down.

Just like water draining from a pool, the rotating shape begins to disappear.

“Ta-da!”

After the water completely disappeared, Lane raised his arms and shouted.

A small laugh escaped my lips because it seemed as if he was showing off his abilities to me and Shine.

Clap clap clap.

He released the hand that was holding his hair and clapped his hands.

Rain stamped his feet wildly in delight at the sight.

The moment her boots hit the floor, small water droplets flew up.

Rain came out of the training room and shook off his raincoat with his hands.

The moisture on her body instantly dispersed into the air.

“Awesome!”

“Awesome!”

Shine and I ran towards Rain with our eyes sparkling.

He circled around her and fiddled with his raincoat.

“How is it? Isn’t it great?”

“It was just like Lucy!”

“Lucy?”

It was the best compliment I could give, but she didn’t seem to know who Lucy was.

“What abilities does Rain’s suit have?”

Shine seemed more interested in Lane’s suit itself, feeling Lane’s arms and legs as she asked.

“It has functions that help control abilities, simple shock absorption, and the ability to collect surrounding moisture.”

“What else?”

“Pretty?”

As he said this, Rain flapped his raincoat.

She seemed quite pleased with the design of the yellow raincoat suit.

“That can only be used with Rain?”

“Yeah! Right? Because it’s a suit that’s specialized for my abilities.”

“I see.”

After hearing Rain’s answer, Shine took a step back from her and smiled faintly.

While Rain was organizing his suit, Shine and I started talking.

It was mostly about suits.

“Does Shine want a suit too?”

“Yeah. How did you know?”

Shine’s gaze flies to my question.

At first glance, her gaze seemed empty, but I could read the emotions contained in it.

“You were looking at me with envy.”

“Jeff was looking at me?”

“Uh… .”

I felt like the focus of the conversation had veered in a strange direction.

But it didn’t matter as long as Shine was in a good mood.

“Yeah.”

A bright smile appears on Shine’s face at my answer.

As her name suggests, her smile was as bright as the sun.

“I guess Mary made all of this.”

Mary approached Lane and began talking to him about the suit.

Only then did I begin to carefully examine the entire room.

Besides the suits, there were a ton of really cool gadgets.

A huge glove, and a huge hammer.

If you’re carrying something like this around, it’s only a matter of time before you get investigated by the police, but whatever, it’s cool.

“Should I ask Mary to make it for me?”

“What?”

“I mean the suit.”

I was wandering around in front of the large gloves, and then I looked back at Shine’s words.

She was looking at Mary with sparkling eyes.

“Shall I make it for you?”

“Yeah. Jeff and I will ask you to make it too.”

“But Shine. I don’t think they make it for just anyone. Rain was also quite expensive.”

“Um… .”

It was a matter of money.

If we had a lot of money, we could have asked Mary.

“I guess I need money.”

“Yeah. It’s going to cost a lot of money.”

Shine and I put our heads together and started to think hard.

Money, where do I get the money?

Now that I couldn’t receive a salary, I couldn’t participate in Shine’s plan as I had no income.

“Salary… ?”

The word salary brings back vague memories.

Scenes that pass by in a flash.

Money? Was I getting paid to work?

“Let’s ask Amy!”

At that moment, Shine grabbed my hand.

The thoughts that flew away due to the shock.

I shook my head and looked straight ahead.

The moment my blurry vision returned, I was startled by Shine’s face that had come so close and stepped back.

Because I could feel the breath coming out of Shine’s nose.

“Huh? To Amy?”

“Yeah. Amy has a lot of money.”

I nodded, looking at Amy’s credit card.

It was true that she had a lot of money, but wouldn’t that amount of money be a bit burdensome?

I had no idea exactly how great Amy’s wealth was.

Shine took my hand and started running towards Amy.

Eyes that waver here and there,

Shine’s hair, scattered in all directions, catches the eye.

“Sleep… . Shine for a moment~”

I followed closely behind her, my steps unsteady.

“Amy!”

“Amy!”

Shine and I ran to Amy and grabbed her legs.

She placed her hands on both of our heads and smiled slightly.

“Hey guys! I think I know what you’re trying to say?”

“Gasp… .”

“How? What do you think we’re going to say?”

Shine and I looked up at Amy with wide eyes at her words.

Amy, who was looking down at us, smiled and said.

“Do you want a suit?”

Her words were correct.

I was so surprised that I let go of my grip on Amy’s leg.

“That’s right! Amy! I want a suit.”

Shine nodded, her eyes sparkling.

I looked bewildered at the sight of Shine for the first time.

I had never seen him become so enthusiastic about something specific, so possessive, so expressive of his desire to have it.

It looks like I’m crazy about [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure].

It feels like looking in a mirror.

“Tell you guys.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m young.”

“But…!”

“When you grow up, I’ll make it for you.”

Amy’s words came out casually.

Permission was granted so easily, as if I was buying snacks at a convenience store.

Although there was a condition attached that it had to be large.

I picture a huge mountain of tonkatsu in my imagination.

How many years would it take for me, who was living on an ordinary salary, to make such a huge mountain of pork cutlets?

No, maybe the price of the suit was more expensive than I imagined.

“Amy, how much does the suit cost?”

“Um… .”

Amy closed her eyes as if she was deep in thought at my question.

She seemed to be picking out expressions that were easy for us to understand.

“Isn’t it enough to sell the copyright of [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure] that you like?”

“Gasp… .”

“Copyright?”

“Was it a little difficult? To put it simply, you get to completely own Jeff’s favorite animation. The characters and all that stuff?”

“So if you have a lot of money, you can change Jeff’s favorite animations as you like?”

“Right?”

“Wow… .”

Shine nodded in understanding after hearing Amy’s continued explanation.

I couldn’t help but be very shocked.

The copyright price of animation, which is currently very popular and literally riding the wave of a craze, is beyond imagination.

Although the exact amount was unknown, it meant that Amy possessed enormous wealth, enough to spend such a huge amount of money without even blinking.

At that moment, Mary, who was talking to Lane, asked Amy in surprise.

I was so surprised that I dropped the folder I was holding on the floor.

“Amy! Are you serious about that?”

“Huh? Of course! They’re my kids.”

“Huh? Amy’s…?”

Mary’s hands began to tremble, as if shocked by Amy’s words.

Amy, who was looking at that sight, smiled brightly and hugged Shine and me.

“How much is that for, to make such a fuss?”

Amy says it’s no big deal.

She rubbed her face against ours as she hugged us.

My cheeks and Shine’s cheeks were mercilessly crushed.

“Yes… . That’s right. Amy could definitely do that… .”

Mary nodded as if she had just remembered something and picked up the documents that had fallen on the floor.

Rain, who was standing next to her, looked at Amy as if she was dissatisfied with something.

“Amy!”

“Huh?”

“Me too! Me too! Something new!”

“You too?”

“Yeah!”

“What more do you need?”

Amy looked at the bag containing Lane’s suit as if to ask what was the problem.

“Something stronger! I don’t have enough firepower!”

“Firepower?”

“Yeah!”

Amy, who had been listening to Rain, nodded and said.

“It’s definitely lacking in firepower.”

Lane’s eyes sparkled at Amy’s words.

But soon after, Amy’s words caused her expression to change into a gloomy one.

“But I don’t think it’ll work out this month because we’re short on budget. That guy Jin is suddenly pushing forward with a strange project.”

“Oops… .”

“Maybe next month would be possible?”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

My head started spinning.

You can cover all the costs for a specific project with one month’s budget.

Is the project small or is the monthly budget this facility can afford just huge?

With Amy’s permission, Lane took a small notebook out of his pocket and unfolded it.

“Then this! This! Let the laser come out from here!”

What was drawn in Rain’s notebook was a large umbrella.

A girl in a raincoat holding an umbrella as tall as she is.

Although his drawing skills were as poor as mine, he had no problem guessing the shape.

Rain’s eyes sparkled and he flapped his notebook around.

The umbrella drawn in the notebook had tremendous functions.

It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that she had packed every feature imaginable into her.

“Show it to Mary and only do what is possible.”

“Yeah!”

“Mary! Please do this!”

Lane threw his notebook at Mary.

It was a scene that showed how excited she was.

Mary, who had received the notebook that had been sent to her, quickly looked through it.

“How much is your budget?”

“Maybe halfway? I’ll have to go there to find out for sure.”

“Yes, I get it.”

Mary nodded to Amy and stuffed her notebook into her pocket.

Mary’s white gown fluttered slightly.

“Then shall we go back?”

“Are you leaving now? Are you done with work?”

“Yeah. That was the last one.”

At Amy’s words that the work was finished, we exited into the hallway.

Before leaving the door, Lane looked back and shouted at Mary to take care of her.
