Chapter Index

    Amy never told anyone who was attending the end-of-year event.

    As the event date got closer, Amy became busier.

    I couldn’t see her at all except when I was eating, so I was starting to get a little dissatisfied.

    “Jeff.”

    “Yeah.”

    Since I finished studying for today, I was using my free time to watch YouTube.

    Shine, who usually didn’t show any interest when I used the computer, came over and sat down next to me.

    “Something’s coming.”

    She muttered like that and looked around.

    I didn’t really feel like I was being watched.

    Shine just looked around, feeling annoyed.

    “Above.”

    “Up?”

    Shine pointed her finger at the ceiling of the room.

    No, not the ceiling. Maybe beyond this room.

    It meant there was something upstairs.

    I jumped down from my chair and asked her.

    “You’re in the park?”

    The entire floor above us was made up of a model park.

    But Shine shook her head and answered.

    “No, it’s higher up.”

    What on earth is there?

    I couldn’t feel anything different from Shine.

    “I don’t know.”

    “Umm… .”

    It was a long time later that I understood the meaning behind Shine’s words.

    As I was drying the dinosaur pajamas I had just washed in the washing machine on the clothesline, I looked up at the tingling sensation on my skin.

    “Ouch… !”

    Tingling.

    A feeling of electricity flowing through me.

    There was something intense up there.

    White hair was fluttering and moving.

    A situation where abilities are out of control.

    I hastily blocked the ability.

    Since I intentionally blocked the ability, I no longer felt the tingling sensation on my skin.

    I just instinctively felt that there was something up there.

    Someone with the same abilities as me.

    Victor?

    No, it felt completely different from Victor.

    Because the current that ran wild like a wild bull was completely different from Victor’s personality.

    I ran out of the bathroom.

    “Shine!”

    “Yeah.”

    “Who’s up there?”

    “Yeah. I know.”

    Shine and I were lying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, talking.

    “Who is it?”

    “Aren’t they people attending the year-end event?”

    “Is that so?”

    I muttered, sweeping my empty arms down.

    Now that I had washed my dinosaur pajamas, I was wearing my regular pajamas.

    Shine also lay on the bed and wiggled her butt, as if she was sad that her lovely tail was gone.

    Is today the day to hold the year-end event?

    I didn’t hear the exact date, but when I checked the date on my computer, I saw that today is the end of the year.

    “I wanted to brag to Rain.”

    Shine looked into the bathroom with eyes full of regret, as if she wanted to show off her dinosaur pajamas to Lane.

    Inside the bathroom, when you open the small door and enter, you will find a drying room where you can dry your laundry quickly.

    “It’ll dry soon.”

    I got the dinosaur pajamas as a gift and never met Rain again.

    It seemed incredibly busy, just like Amy said.

    “But won’t it come soon?”

    I said, holding Shine’s hand.

    According to Amy, she and Lane Victor will not be attending the end-of-year event.

    If so, that means they’ll be coming to us soon.

    “You can show it to me then.”

    Even though I said that, I didn’t feel like just waiting around.

    I was rolling around on the bed, and then I jumped out of bed.

    “Jeff?”

    “Go up.”

    I immediately put on a thin jersey over my pajamas.

    Shine, who was lying face down on the bed and looking at me, slowly got off the bed while wiggling.

    “I want to go too.”

    She also came over to me, wearing a thin jersey that was hanging near the entrance.

    The time when it is time to go to bed is approaching.

    If it were a normal day, I would be lying in bed watching TV, but unfortunately today [The Little Witch’s Great Adventure] is not being aired.

    “I feel a little nervous for some reason.”

    I opened the door and stepped into the hallway.

    The empty hallway created an eerie atmosphere.

    Is it because it’s late?

    There wasn’t a single person in sight in the hallway.

    The bright lights were on as usual.

    But it was really strange how the mere fact that there were no people, unlike usual, created such a strange atmosphere.

    I looked down the long hallway, swallowed hard, and started walking forward.

    Tap tap tap – Shine and my small footsteps bounced back, hitting the end of the hallway.

    I walked down the hallway and stared at the ceiling.

    The tingling sensation I felt earlier started again.

    It was as if he was provoking me.

    `Like this?`

    I muttered to myself and raised my power.

    Ppajik – Blue light current scattering from the fingertips.

    Since we were using the same ability, we could tell how the other person spread the ability.

    But I couldn’t spread my abilities as widely as my opponent.

    I lifted the tip of my finger and began to gauge the direction in which my opponent was.

    Phajijik – The little finger acts as a lightning rod, drawing the current that spreads out to the surrounding area into one place.

    “Jeff? What are you doing?”

    “Umm… . Someone keeps bothering me.”

    Phagecic-!

    The current field has now become so large that it can be clearly seen with the eyes.

    The opponent upstairs also noticed me and started to focus the electricity that was scattering in all directions towards me.

    It wasn’t an ability that contained any particularly hostile intent.

    It felt like he was slowly scanning my body, just exploring.

    But it was unpleasant.

    That’s also huge.

    I frowned and raised my power.

    I also didn’t forget the control method that Victor had advised me.

    The currents that were scattered in all directions began to gather together and become a blue spear that I held in my hand.

    ” and… .”

    Shine’s exclamation of admiration can be heard from the side.

    I looked at the blue spear in my hand with a bewildered expression.

    The blue window began to absorb all the power I was drawing out.

    The light is getting darker and darker.

    Eventually, it started to look unstable as if it was about to explode.

    “Jeff?”

    In a panic, I threw the blue spear I was holding with all my might.

    With a feeling of “Eight-!”

    My arms move with all my might.

    The moment my arm stopped moving, the blue spear left my hand.

    The direction it flies to is where there is an opponent using the same ability as me.

    The blue-light spear shot straight toward the ceiling, leaving a slight haze before passing through the wall.

    It flies.

    It flies through walls at very high speed.

    It flies in a straight line between me and the opponent.

    A blue spear that continues to fly beyond the walls.

    The movement was clearly felt.

    At the same time, I was able to fully grasp the structure of this huge facility.

    Because the moment I crossed between the walls, the faintly scattered electric current transmitted information to me.

    puck-!

    A sound that should not have been heard was heard.

    A distance that makes a huge difference.

    The moment the blue spear I sent flying flies and hits the opponent.

    A huge current was scattered in all directions.

    “Oh… .”

    The current scattered in all directions gave me a clear picture of the situation at that place.

    A movement mixed with confusion.

    There is no sound.

    A large number of people spread out in all directions are moving busily.

    The opponent I shot with a blue spear shook his head and stood up.

    That’s the end of it.

    That was the end of the scene I could feel.

    “Jeff? Shine?”

    “Ah…! Rain?”

    I was twitching my fingers.

    I raised my head at the sound of a familiar voice coming from the end of the hallway, and saw Rain running towards me.

    Shine and I also ran towards Rain, who was smiling happily.

    “Rain!”

    “Hello!”

    Although it had only been a few days, it felt like it had been quite a while since we last saw each other.

    I held Rain’s hand and shook it up and down.

    “Did you forget to do gymnastics?”

    Shine also asked, holding Rain’s hand like me.

    At that, Lane nodded with a confident expression.

    “Of course! You work hard every day?”

    “Good job.”

    Shine smiled brightly and praised Rain.

    Although she used to be shy, Rain seemed to have gotten used to Shine’s compliments and accepted her touch naturally.

    “What about Amy and Victor?”

    “Waiting somewhere else.”

    “Are you waiting?”

    “Yeah. I came to pick you up.”

    Rain grabbed Shine and me by the hand as if telling us to go quickly.

    Then Shine and I looked at each other.

    A brief exchange of glances.

    Now we can understand each other’s intentions without having to say anything.

    “I have something to show you, Rain!”

    I grabbed Lane’s hand in return and pulled.

    “Huh?”

    Of course, it would have been easy to drag us away by force, but Rain was simply dragged towards us.

    It’s a good thing it happened.

    With Rain’s ability, he could quickly dry wet dinosaur pajamas.

    We returned to the room and led Lane to the drying room.

    “This is…!”

    The moment we arrived at the drying room, Rain approached our dinosaur pajamas with sparkling eyes.

    “You guys… . You got suits… !”

    And that was the moment.

    Tick- tiddi-dick-!

    There was a series of small noises, and then suddenly the fluorescent lights went out.

    At the same time, the drying room stopped operating and darkness fell all around.

    A familiar feeling. This is a power outage.

    “Wow!!”

    Then, a scream of admiration burst out from Rain.

    Her gaze was focused solely on the dinosaur pajamas hanging under the clothesline.

    A pair of luminous dinosaur pajamas dripping with water droplets and emitting a soft light.

    She was surprised that her pajamas were luminous.

    “Awesome! Me too! I’m going to ask for glow-in-the-dark too!”

    Beep beep.

    Rain is seen running around in circles near her dinosaur pajamas, wrapped in soft light.

    “Rain, stop that.”

    Shine grabbed Rain, who was jumping around excitedly, and spoke quietly.

    Rain, whose eyes had been sparkling, calmed down his excitement, nodded, and extended his hand.

    “Yep!”

    With a small sigh, Rain’s hand grasped the air.

    Immediately after that, the water that had soaked through my pajamas started to trickle down.

    “Wow… !”

    The look of fluffy pajamas in an instant.

    I approached and released the clothespin holding the dinosaur’s shoulder in place.

    “Thank you Rain!”

    Shine and I immediately started putting on our pajamas right there.

    Put your feet in and pull them up to your waist.

    After that, put both arms in and fasten the zipper and buttons.

    Finally, complete it by putting the dinosaur head hood over it.

    The birth of the perfect luminous dinosaur.

    “Isn’t it cool?”

    Shine spun her dinosaur tail around as if showing off to Lane.
