“Aren’t you coming to Grandpa?”

I looked at Grandpa Ferman while hanging on to Amy’s arms.

Looking at her with her arms spread wide and a sullen expression as if she was disappointed, I thought she would get upset if I didn’t go hug her right away.

I gave Amy a tap on the shoulder, indicating to her to come down.

But Amy said to Grandpa Ferman with a mischievous smile.

“Jeff isn’t going?”

At Amy’s words, Grandpa Ferman’s eyebrows shot up to the sky.

I opened my mouth desperately to say no, but Amy’s hand was faster than me covering my mouth.

“Ugh. Ugh!”

He is held tightly in Amy’s arms, his mouth shut.

No matter how much I struggled, I couldn’t escape her arms.

Grandpa Ferman, who had been silently looking at Amy, turned his gaze to look at Shine.

Shine was walking towards Amy with a calm expression.

Their gazes met in the air.

Grandfather opened his arms to Shine with an expectant expression.

But Shine wiggled her eyebrows as if asking what was going on and took a step back.

“Shine~”

Amy saw Shine like that, smiled victoriously, and called out to Shine.

Shine walked over to Amy’s call obediently, reached out her hand and grabbed Amy’s hand.

Amy, who had taken on both me and Shine, smiled victoriously and stuck her tongue out at Grandpa Ferman.

I was surprised to see Amy, who always acted like an adult, play a prank for once.

“Ahem. I’m glad everyone is safe.”

At Grandpa Ferman’s words, I tapped Amy’s hand that was covering my mouth.

Only then did she lower the hand that was covering my mouth.

“Pua- Grandpa. Was there something unusual happening at school and outside?”

“Yeah. Thanks to you, I was able to handle the problem before it got worse.”

“Are you talking about that construction site?”

Grandpa Ferman nodded silently to my words and exchanged glances with Jin.

I got down from Amy’s arms and approached the two of them.

“Excuse me, please tell me too. What was going on? Yes?”

At my question, Jin looked at Grandpa Ferman with a troubled expression.

I looked up at him with a pitiful look in my eyes, hanging on to my grandfather’s leg.

Looking up at it this way, Amy unconditionally granted my request.

Even that Victor.

It couldn’t be any different for him to be my grandfather.

The solemn expression suddenly disappears, and my grandfather’s large hand comes up to my head.

Perhaps Grandpa Ferman was trying to pat his head.

But that was the problem.

Right now, there’s a little baby hiding above my head.

Of course, little Amy was so surprised by the sudden touch of the palm that she let out a spark.

Phagecic-!

White hair stands up, and the grandfather’s hand withdraws in an instant.

It wasn’t enough of a shock to hurt anyone, but it was enough to startle them.

The old man, holding his hand, stepped back slightly and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

The gaze is directed above my head.

I smiled awkwardly and raised my hands above my head.

“It’s okay, baby. Are you surprised?”

As soon as I put my hand out, little Amy rubbed her body against mine.

Fired-fired-!

It stung a little, but it felt like a child’s tantrum, so a smile never left my face.

“That, that?”

“Isn’t it cute?”

I held out both hands to my grandfather with a confident expression.

Little Amy, who had been carried by my hand from above, was straightening out her crumpled hat.

Pajijik- It seemed like he didn’t want to greet his grandfather, as he seemed uncomfortable with the planting and the faint sparks flying.

“This is Shine and my baby. Baby. Say hello to Grandpa.”

I whispered in a small voice to little Amy who was on my hand.

She was adjusting her hat, frowning at my words and bowing to my grandfather with a helpless gesture.

“A baby, a baby? Shine and you? ”

“Yes. The two of us made it.”

At my answer, Grandpa Ferman’s gaze turned to Amy.

Amy, who was under that intense gaze, opened her mouth with an awkward laugh.

“It’s the same as Victor’s brainwashing.”

“Hmm…”

At Amy’s short explanation, Grandpa Ferman nodded as if he understood.

He no longer had that puzzled expression from before.

“I see what Jeff thinks of you, Amy.”

Grandpa Ferman said to Amy.

He seemed to know the details of the brainwashing technique that Victor had created.

I lifted little Amy up to my grandfather, who had a hesitant look on his face and raised his hand.

She looked around anxiously as she fell out of my hands, but when I showed her a reassuring smile, she sighed deeply and nodded.

“How is it? Isn’t my baby cute?”

Grandpa Ferman looked at little Amy on his hand and kept his mouth shut, saying nothing.

I looked up at my grandfather and asked him the same question I had asked before.

“Grandpa, tell me more about what happened today.”

“Oh, right. That’s what we were talking about.”

Grandpa Ferman, who had been blankly staring at Little Amy, shook his head as if he had come to his senses at my words, then handed Little Amy back over to my hand and said.

“Yeah. I guess I should say something.”

But it seemed like it wasn’t something we should bring up here, so we moved to Jin’s office.

Grandfather naturally sits at the top of the table, and Jin sits next to him.

And after Amy sat down, Shine Lane and I sat next to each other.

“Jeff.”

“Huh?”

“Do you know anything about people with psychic abilities?”

I nodded to my grandfather’s words.

I often heard stories about Jin from Amy and Lane, so I came to know about him even though I didn’t want to.

“Then, you know how dangerous psychic abilities are.”

I nodded and looked at Jin.

He was sitting comfortably, drinking coffee, and when he made eye contact with me, he closed one eye and winked.

I felt like vomiting at that burdensome glance.

“Ugh-.”

“Can interfere with a person’s mind. The target doesn’t even notice it. What a scary ability.”

I nodded to Grandpa Ferman’s words.

It couldn’t have been anything but a truly terrifying ability.

It was also hard to believe that Jin had such a terrifying ability.

If you just look at his usual behavior, he just seems like an untrustworthy adult.

In particular, the image of the rabbit chewing on hay voraciously did not leave my mind.

“Why do you suddenly have psychic abilities? Could it be that a new psychic has appeared?”

“Yeah.”

I kept my mouth shut at my grandfather’s words.

Psychic abilities were very rare abilities.

Because the benefits that this ability brought were so great, there were many people who wanted that power.

The Mind Stone that was stolen last time was also an object created because of such people.

Amy said.

“The person with the ability who appeared this time seems to be able to control people’s emotions. If someone around you acts completely different than usual, call this old man.”

“Like Mr. Typhon?”

“Yeah, it seems that teacher was also influenced by the ability.”

“But, Grandpa. The construction site and the school were quite far apart. Is the range of the psychic ability that far?”

Grandfather nodded to Jin at my words.

Jin immediately took out the bag that was under the table.

A shiny silver, angular bag opened, and inside emerged an unidentifiable mechanical device the size of a grown man’s head.

“What is that?”

“It’s an amplifier. We were able to recover it from the construction site.”

“Amplifier?”

“A mechanical device that increases the range of effect of mental abilities. It seems that the ability user used this device to cast his abilities on a distant opponent. Jeff, Shine, I called you here to show you this, and it was for your abilities. ”

“Me and Shine?”

I tilted my head at my grandfather’s words.

My and Shine’s abilities were lightning-type abilities.

It wasn’t a common ability, but it wasn’t that rare either.

But my grandfather quickly solved my doubts.

“Jin. Start the machine.”

Jin pressed the small button on the bottom of the machine at his grandfather’s words.

Then, strange radio waves began to leak out in all directions from inside the machine.

It was a strangely irritating radio wave.

As I frowned, my grandfather looked at me and said:

“Can you remember how you felt right now?”

“Yes. I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. I feel so bad.”

“You’re saying the same thing as Victor.”

Victor, who had the same abilities as I did, must have felt the same way I did.

As I nodded, little Amy, who had been hiding in my hair, let out sparks of discomfort in all directions.

Phagecic-!

Shine, who was sitting next to me, also had a frown on her face as if she was in a bad mood.

I held Shine’s hand without saying a word.

The small hands that were trembling sweetly calm down.

“Don’t forget that feeling now. If you feel similar to this somewhere else right now, contact Jin or me without delay.”

“Can I do this to Amy?”

“Yeah, it’s okay to do it to Amy.”

I nodded to my grandfather’s words.

After all, it was better to contact Amy than Jin.

After that, everyone except Jin came out of the office.

Grandfather seemed to be in a hurry, as if he had no time.

Amy looked at Grandpa Ferman and said.

“You didn’t come here because you didn’t have time, did you?”

“That was quite a stretch.”

“It was hard to even see your shadow normally, but now that you have kids, you say so?”

“Don’t you think that would happen?”

Grandpa Ferman said that and looked down at me and Shine.

I smiled slightly at my grandfather, flicking the lollipop in my hand.

“Anyway, I’ve confirmed that there’s nothing wrong with the kids, so I guess I should go now.”

“You’re really busy.”

“Isn’t this why you left home?”

“Still, I don’t plan on going back in.”

After those words, Amy and Grandpa Ferman never spoke again.

After exchanging greetings, the grandfather turned around and headed towards the warp location.

Amy said, holding my hand and Shine’s, as she saw her grandfather disappearing beyond the large warp.

“Shall we go eat?”

“Yes!”
