“I told you that you have to throw away the trash when it’s full!”
“Uh, uh…”
“……”
The trash clumped together in the air and went into a plastic bag that had been placed in the air in advance.
“Game consoles and comic books, put them away! If you used them, you should put them away! No one else will do it for you!”
“Heeeek..”
“……”
The comic books that had been spread out on the floor began to float up and land on the bookshelf, and the game console moved to the charger in the corner to recharge its battery.
“And the blanket! I told you that if you don’t wash it, you’ll get mites, but I didn’t!”
“I did it..”
“But why didn’t you do it! Why didn’t you do the clothes!!”
“Huh, hhh..! Hey, unnie, take my underwear, my underwear!!”
The trainer blushed and jumped as numerous clothes on the floor floated up.
Looking closely, I saw underwear with ornate patterns floating around.
“Maker!”
“Yes, Astra. My eyes are already closed.”
As soon as he showed her how to make a blindfold and cover her face, Astra started nagging at the trainer again.
“You’re a girl..! How can you walk around like this, defenseless, even inside the house!”
“Ha, but..except when I’m training my employees, they don’t come looking for me..”
“Did you forget the mission I gave you today?”
“I’m sorry…”
Astra kept nagging like that for a long time.
“I really can’t live like this!”
Whoosh! Swish!
Ding- laundry is in progress-.
Crunch, crunch! Crunch!
Even though she was nagging at the trainer, she didn’t stop cleaning her room.
‘…what.’
Hikikomori daughter and mother?
Is it my imagination that Astra’s nagging, which makes her angry for some reason, reminds me of her mother?
‘Of course I don’t have a mother.’
If there is, I think it would feel something like that.
“.. Got it? This is really the last time I’ll clean for you!”
“Yes, yes..”
After about 10 minutes, when I took off the blindfold, what I saw was a completely different room than before.
It’s so clean that it almost feels like it’s shining.
“You’re good at cleaning.”
“Just this once, just this once! I’m doing this because the trainer is so lazy!”
I don’t think this is the only time…
After watching her turn her head away blankly for a moment, I slowly changed the conversation back to the mission.
“So, is this person a trainer?”
“…Yes, even though it looks like that, it’s an executive or trainer who is currently in charge of teaching the organization members.”
“Ah, hello…!!”
The trainer who was about to jump up and greet Astra’s gaze.
But perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were numb, and his body suddenly tilted and he was about to fall over.
“Oh my.”
Then, Astra let out a familiar sigh and grabbed her with her telekinesis.
“…You are a very friendly person.”
It’s not even a 90 degree bow, it’s almost a 180 degree bow.
“Ahahaha… Me, you’re Maker, right? Ma, it’s nice to meet you..!”
“I am also honored to meet you, Instructor.”
The trainer laughs heartily at my words.
“……”
I looked at her like that, then turned my gaze to look at Astra.
Astra. Is this it?
You want me to take her on a mission?
“……”
She turned her head away, avoiding my gaze.

On the way back after finishing greeting the trainer.
I opened my mouth in an atmosphere that felt a little awkward.
“Are you trying to use me as a guardian for the trainer?”
“…A guardian..That kid is now twenty-three.”
“Then what is it?”
“…Helper?”
“You are the guardian.”
It certainly seems unsettling to see that clumsy behavior.
I feel like I’m going to make a mistake and fail the mission.
“If it’s knowledge sharing, it would be perfect for this mission.”
Knowledge sharing.
A very simple ability that allows the trainer to store all information in his head and transmit it to other people.
Basically, since he has a perfect memory passively, if he can extract the information, he can memorize it and escape, which is considered a success.
“Haa.. Of course, the trainer’s special ability is perfect for this mission, but the mission itself tends to be a bit difficult to do alone.”
To summarize Astra’s words, it was like this.
The research data we are targeting is converted into data, not paper, and is even encrypted.
And the trainer can decipher the code, but she must not be disturbed during that time.
‘We must also prevent researchers from destroying data by self-destructing.’
“It’s definitely a difficult mission to do alone.”
“Right? It’s not that I don’t trust the trainer because he’s clumsy, but because Maker-ssi is the best at dealing with variables and has this ability!”
‘You don’t trust your trainer.’
Even I, who knew her from the original, lost all trust after seeing her for a moment, so I wonder how Astra, who has lived with her for several years and seen her like that, must feel.
“Well, I understand for now. I already knew from the beginning that I was put in there just in case.”
“That’s right? I hope the mission goes well!”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s a little sad that I was forced to take on this mission.”
“……”
What, why? That’s right.
But doesn’t it prick your conscience that you even brought up the forced mission?
The mission itself is fine, but if you look at it closely, it’s just a job to take care of one person, right?
Even though he introduced me to a fellow executive, I didn’t trust him.
‘At this point, it’s almost a scam. It’s a scam.’
Of course, I’m not angry or anything.
I just thought I could use this to get something out of Astra.
‘If the original trainer is correct, then catching a villain organization that is at best a B+ or heroes that are dispatched is not a problem.’
I’m also a bit anxious about the clumsy stuff, but I guess I can take care of it somehow…?
Just because my teammate is a bit like that, I can’t miss the opportunity to restore the leader (= get promoted and live safely).
When I looked at her and smiled, she lowered her head as if her conscience was pricking her, as if she understood somehow.
“Ah..Now that I think about it, wasn’t it clearly written that there were no rewards for mandatory missions?”
“……”
“Well, I also have the grace I received from Eclipse and the sense of responsibility as an executive, so of course, if Astra-sama gives an order, I have to accept it.”
“……”
“It must have been Astra’s way to increase the mission’s success rate.”
It’s okay, really.
As he smiled brightly and spoke, Astra’s green eyes shook violently.
Ah~ My heart hurts~
‘If I give you some compensation, this wounded heart might get better~’
She stood there for a moment, staring at me like that.
“Haa..what do you want.”
Don’t act weird for no reason.
She sighed deeply and asked me for an answer.
“Nothing much. I just wanted to start making my own people.”
“..You want to form your own platoon?”
“Yes. When you are active, you can’t borrow the platoons of other officers.”
I know a lot of strong guys with my knowledge of the original, but I can’t just bring them wherever I want.
Anyone who hasn’t even verified their identity is a nobleman.
If you bring in an enemy force or an individual villain without proper permission, you have no right to be treated as a spy.
“Where do you get your members from? They already have their own affiliations within the organization, right?”
“I’ll go outside and pick up some gemstones.”
Astra rested her chin on her hand and pondered.
After a while like that.
“..Should the maker take responsibility?”
They say that if you bring a spy here, you’re in big trouble.
It meant permission.
When I heard that, a smile came to my face.
“You’re saying something obvious.”
After a month of working as a villain executive, I was allowed to create my own team as a certified secretary.
***
The next day.
Before carrying out the operation, the trainer and I decided to gather in Astra’s office and listen to an explanation of the operation.
“By the way, does the dress code matter..?”
“What’s the outfit?”
In response to Astra’s question as she returned, the trainer lowered his head in silence and looked at his own uniform.
Overall, it seems like the focus is on speed, with tight-fitting clothes and iron armor covering the shoulders, arms, and legs.
It was a revealing outfit that exposed the upper chest and made it difficult to see where to look.
The trainer glanced at me for a moment, perhaps aware of me, and covered his chest by pressing down as hard as he could.
“Ah, anyway, our goal is to steal information, so wouldn’t it be better to be a little less noticeable? I thought…”
“Our goal is to provide research materials, but there is something more important.”
“Uh, what is it..?”
“The extermination of everyone who knows about the research there.”
I nodded at those words.
‘We should have a monopoly on information.’
If another villain or hero obtains this information and succeeds in developing a cure or even mass producing it, it is likely to become a nuisance even if the leader regains his former power.
If they make a mistake, they might end up fighting among themselves and perishing before the final boss arrives.
So whether we find information or not, researchers are basically targets for killing.
“So, there is no need to be secretive.”
“Ah, aha..”
“There are also enemy forces, so it’s better to be prepared to go into battle at any time.”
“Yes..!”
The trainer nodded at my words.
She answered with her own strength and smiled to herself in satisfaction.
“Then, I will explain the operation.”
Astra used her powers to hand the documents over to me and the trainer.
“I’ll only say this once, so listen carefully.”
Astra announced with a serious expression that the mission had begun.
