Chapter Index

    It must have been about a week since that incident.

    The interior of the building was rapidly becoming similar to its previous state.

    People who had been evacuated to other places began to return one by one, and now things are starting to become a bit more lively than before.

    I ran down the hallway with Shine and my arms outstretched.

    “Shine! Hurry up!”

    If you get caught, you’ll be in big trouble.

    I turned my head back to look at our pursuers who were chasing us from behind.

    A woman running at a terrifying speed through the crowd of people walking down the hallway.

    Her pink hair flaunts her presence.

    “Papa, hurry up!”

    If you get caught, you’re in big trouble.

    Shine and I ran as fast as we could to avoid Amy.

    “Jeff! Shine!”

    Amy was angry.

    Because I got caught not brushing my teeth last night.

    Shine and I, who had been running hard, went into the office and locked the door tightly.

    “Hey. Jeff.”

    “Huh?”

    “Why did you run away to the office?”

    “Why, well…”

    I opened my mouth blankly as I answered Shine’s words.

    I did something very stupid.

    Anyway, I have to go to the office in the morning.

    The same goes for Amy.

    The problem was that I ran to the office out of habit.

    What I’m saying now is that I’ve found myself in a dead end.

    I looked at the locked door with trembling eyes.

    Beep-beep-

    The sound of someone cracking a code can be heard from beyond the door.

    Then the closed door opened and Amy appeared with an angry expression.

    “Gasp!”

    I was so startled by the sight that I ran to the sofa and hid.

    But in front of Amy, such actions meant nothing.

    Amy ran towards me at a fast speed and put her toothbrush in my mouth.

    Shine already has a toothbrush in her mouth.

    To make matters worse, the toothpaste on the toothbrush tasted like mint.

    I bit my lip and cried.

    “Jeff. If you don’t brush your teeth because it’s a hassle, they’ll all rot away.”

    Amy moved the toothbrush herself and brushed Shine’s teeth.

    While I was brushing my teeth with Amy, Victor and Lane came into the office at the same time.

    The appearance of the two people was a little strange.

    He was wearing going-out clothes, not the comfortable clothes he usually wears.

    The bag in Victor’s hand was also a large travel bag, and Rain’s was no different.

    “What? Where are you two going?”

    Amy asked, looking at the two of them.

    Then, Lane asked Amy with a strange expression.

    “Amy. You really don’t know?”

    “What?”

    “I got a long-term assignment.”

    “Dispatch mission?”

    Amy’s expression crumpled at Lane’s words.

    She immediately took out her cell phone and started calling Jin.

    After a few rings, Jin’s voice was heard.

    “I’ll call you and come back. You have to clean this well?”

    “Okay.”

    I nodded, my answer muffled by the foam filling my mouth.

    Amy left the office while talking on the phone.

    I looked up at Victor, moving the toothbrush vigorously.

    He looked down at me as he sat on his large suitcase.

    “Why.”

    “Um um…”

    I ran to the sink and spat out all the foam from my mouth without being able to answer Victor’s question.

    After that, I briefly walked around and asked Victor a question.

    “Victor! What is your long-term mission?”

    “Um…”

    He opened his mouth, then ran his hand through his hair with an annoyed expression.

    After a while, Victor answered with a small sigh.

    “Ask Amy.”

    “Hmm!”

    I puffed out my cheeks at Victor’s attitude.

    I couldn’t stand being curious.

    This time I approached Rain.

    The bag that Rain brought was quite large.

    I asked Lane, hanging from the box.

    “Hey. Rain. What’s the long-term mission?”

    “Literally, you are sent to another place for a long period of time to carry out a mission.”

    “Somewhere else?”

    “Yeah. This dispatch location is District 3.”

    “Zone 3…”

    While I was hanging on to Lane’s bag, Amy came back into the office, having finished talking to Gene.

    “Didn’t you just finish talking with Jin?”

    “What’s the story, I haven’t heard anything.”

    Amy’s expression wasn’t very good.

    She stroked her forehead as she talked to Victor.

    I walked over to Amy and gently grabbed her hand.

    “Amy, what’s wrong?”

    “Nothing happened.”

    Amy answered my question with a big smile on her face.

    Her delicate hands came up to my head and stroked my hair.

    “What about the kids?”

    “I told you to leave it at headquarters… but that can’t be possible.”

    Amy answered Victor’s words, pulling me into her arms and lifting me up.

    I reached out and hugged Amy’s neck.

    “Where are we going?”

    “Yeah.”

    The anticipation of going out, and a little bit of anxiety.

    I felt two emotions at the same time.

    I said, fidgeting with the hand behind Amy’s back.

    “Are we all going together?”

    “Yeah. We’re all going together.”

    Amy answered my question and dropped me off next to Shine.

    Shine hugged my body tightly as soon as I came down.

    “If it’s Zone 3, there won’t be any problems. The kids’ skills are like that.”

    Victor said that and pushed his bag into the corner.

    “I’ll be waiting, so hurry up and pack your bags.”

    “Jim?”

    But Amy seemed to not understand what Victor was saying and asked him back.

    “Yeah.”

    “You can just go and buy it, so why bring it?”

    Victor gaped at Amy’s words.

    In the end, we ended up getting on the elevator without our luggage.

    Victor’s expression became uncomfortable.

    The elevator quickly rose and arrived at the top floor.

    Beyond the wide open door stood Jin, Shumain, and Mary.

    I raised my hand as soon as I noticed Mary.

    “Mary!”

    Since I hadn’t seen her recently, I thought she might be somewhere else, but luckily she was here.

    She looked at me and waved with a small smile.

    “Are there really that few people?”

    “I’m sorry.”

    Amy said that as soon as she saw Gene.

    Then Jin bowed his head with an apologetic expression and apologized.

    Amy let out a small sigh at the sight.

    “Are you taking the kids with you?”

    Jin’s gaze turned to me, Shine, and Rain.

    “I can’t help it. I feel anxious and uncomfortable, so I can’t stand it.”

    “It’s okay if you can take good care of them, but can you still complete the mission with the kids?”

    “What could be difficult? Just do it as usual.”

    “That’s true, though.”

    Jin looked at us with a worried expression.

    I stuck my tongue out at Jin and hid behind Amy.

    “I sent you the coordinates of your temporary residence and destination separately, so people around you will think you are neighbors who recently moved in.”

    As Jin said that, he took a bundle of documents out of his bosom and handed them to Amy.

    “Go read the details, and when you’re done reading, burn it.”

    Amy nodded and accepted the bundle of papers.

    Just then Mary approached and held out some small boxes.

    It had the same design as the box containing Rain’s suit that I had seen in the lab.

    Amy, Victor, and Lane naturally passed the box over to each other.

    I looked up at Mary with some anticipation.

    What about mine?

    What about mine?

    Mary felt my gaze and looked troubled.

    “Sorry. Yours is still in the planning stage, so I can’t give you anything.”

    I looked very disappointed at Mary’s answer.

    My shoulders slump.

    I also wanted to have a cool suit like Rain.

    “Don’t you have Jeff and me?”

    Shine also looked up at Mary with a disappointed expression.

    Then Mary’s expression became urgent.

    She looked around, then as if remembering something, she took a small, long object out of her pocket.

    It looks exactly like a small crayon.

    “Ta-da, ta-da!”

    Shine and I didn’t say anything.

    Because I didn’t know what to use that thing for.

    “This is how you write it!”

    Beep-

    As Mary pressed the button on the long object, a red light emitted from in front of it.

    Shine and I looked at the red dot.

    Laser point.

    Yes, what Mary showed was a laser point.

    “Oh, how is it? It’s cool, isn’t it?”

    “Wow!”

    I shouted in admiration.

    Because the laser pattern was unusual.

    It was actually star-shaped.

    “I’ll give you this. Can you hold on for a moment?”

    Mary handed me a laser point.

    I looked over what Mary had handed me.

    What I thought was one button turned out to be two more.

    I tried pressing another button.

    Then, the star-shaped laser changed into a heart shape.

    “Gasp!”

    This time I tried pressing another button.

    Then the red glow changed into blue.

    Super cool laser point!

    “Do you like it?”

    Mary squatted down and met my gaze as she asked.

    I held the laser point carefully with trembling hands.

    I liked it so much.

    It’s so cool.

    It was really the best.

    “Me?”

    “Right. Are you signing?”

    In response to Shine and my questions, Mary pulled out another laser point.

    Something that looks exactly like mine.

    Shine smiled with satisfaction.

    The preparations are roughly done.

    I ran to Amy’s side and grabbed her hand.

    “Are you ready? Open the door?”

    Shumain, who had been waiting at the back for a long time, spoke to us and extended his hand forward.

    Then, as shown before, the space stretched sideways and a large hole was created.

    Across the space, what appeared to be the interior of an ordinary home.

    We stepped towards it.

    The moment I crossed the faint boundary, the air around me changed in an instant.

    I didn’t feel any dizziness from moving using the warp ability.

    I felt like I was just moving from room to room, without any sensation.

    The house was spacious.

    It was very, very wide.

    Wide carpets, chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, and even a wooden staircase.

    “Okay. Focus.”

    Clap clap-

    As I looked around excitedly, Amy caught my attention by clapping her hands.

    Amy, seeing that everyone’s eyes were on her, handed out small bracelets to everyone.

    “This is a simple bracelet for distraction, so be sure to wear it when you go out.”

    “Yes!”

    I immediately put on the bracelet Amy gave me.

    Then, a subtle sensation enveloped my entire body.

    Shine also wore a bracelet like me.

    Then, Shine’s appearance changed in an instant.

    The color of his pure white hair changed to blue, and his eye color also changed to blue like water.

    And the impression became a little blurred.

    If you don’t focus and look at her, her presence will soon fade to the point where you’ll forget about her.

    “Jeff is acting weird.”

    Shine looked at me and grabbed my cheek.

    I thought she looked strange to me too.

    “Shine looks like that too.”

    Victor and Rain also wore bracelets.

    Then, both people’s hair colors changed to the same color.

    Black and black eyes.

    And the impression became blurred.

    From a distance, they were so unrecognizable that you wouldn’t think they were Rain and Victor.

    “Amy doesn’t do it?”

    I took off my bracelet and asked Amy.

    Instead of answering my question, she showed me through actions.

    The moment I put the small bracelet on my arm, it suddenly broke.

    The remains of the bracelet fell to the floor.

    “I’m okay.”

    Amy said that and took out her sunglasses from her bosom and put them on.

    The black sunglasses sparkled.
