Chapter 226: Above the Cloud 1
At the island base, Anna prepared the plan to make Naomi confess to Mischa together with Dan-Bi and Julia.
The three of them brainstormed on how to make them confess to each other. They thought something about trying to push Mischa to realize Naomis feelings by showing videos of a couple but decided to scrap that after realizing how stupid their plan was.
They kept brainstorming the ideas in the living room, sitting facing each other on the couch, but none of the ideas were good enough. It had already been more than an hour since Naomi left with Mischa. They expected them to arrive shortly.
This is bad, Anna muttered with her hands in front of her mouth, appearing to be thinking deeply about her decision. We dont have any decent plans because we never went on a date ourselves.
Youre correct. And you confidently said that you would help Princess to achieve her love. How confident, Anna. Dan-Bi blurted the fact, making Anna grunt.
Ugh I-I thought that it would be easy! But After seeing what couples do, I just realized We have no talent in love.
Dont feel so down, Anna. Love is it cant be explained or forced. I have a plan of my own. Do you want to hear it? Julia announced, and Anna turned toward her at a fast speed.
Her lips curled upward, and she exclaimed, Really?!
Of course! I am confident in this plan. Julia puffed her chest proudly. Her breasts jiggled in the process.
Anna and Dan-Bi looked at her with a gaze full of admiration as they clapped their hands.
Oooh! As expected of Julia! Shes experienced with my brother! Anna tried to whistle but failed yet again.
I dont think thats the case in this Dan-Bi corrected, a bit skeptical about what Anna said. Julia has yet to date your brother. Mainly because shes too shy about it, and your brother is keeping a distance from her. She added.
Julias body flinched a little when Dan-Bi stated the obvious. She looked at her with a not-too-friendly smile and mumbled.
Dan-Bi Please keep your words inside, wont you? Dont be like your brother. Thats the reason why Princess always punished him. Her voice was ominous, causing Dan-Bi to shiver and hide behind Anna.
U-un Dan-Bi forcefully nodded at Julias words.
Good. Julia nodded, satisfied. Anyway, lets just cancel this plan. Thats my plan. She blurted seriously.
Huh? Anna let out a confused sound. Why?
Nothing comes good if it is being forced by someone. I think Princess will need to deal with this problem by herself. We can support her by giving her advice, but lets not force them to be together. Waiting can be painful, but its better than being forced. Explained Julia.
Maybe thats true Anna muttered. Well, I just wanted to repay Princess for what she did for us.
Me too. Thats why I followed Annas ridiculous plan in the first place. Admitted Dan-Bi.
Hearing what Dan-Bi had said, Anna turned around and pounced at her. Huh? You little! Why did you call my plan ridiculous, huh?
Kyaa!
They fell on top of each other on the couch, with Anna on the top, trying to tickle Dan-Bi with her hands.
S-Stop, Anna! Please!
Huahahaha, I wont! I wont stop until you apologize!
Hahahaha, p-please! S-Stop it!
Both of them seemed to forget about Julia, who was watching them playing around with each other from the side. Anna kept tickling Dan-Bi in her armpit area, waist, and even some questionable place.
Seeing them, Julia only smiled and stood up quietly before leaving the living room to make tea in the kitchen.
Must be nice to have fun like that. Should I just confess to Mr. Rekka too? She thought to herself. However, shortly after that, she shook her head in denial, No! What am I thinking? I shouldnt bother him too much. I am just a maid in this place while hes one of the founding members of the Moon of Akasha.
She arrived in the kitchen and began to make tea and coffee for five people, preparing for Naomis arrival. As a maid, preparation was the key. That was why she suggested that they should just support Naomi from behind, not too actively involved in her love affair.
Princess mustve thought of this too. Maybe she felt a bit bad for Anna because there is only a little entertainment on this island. Thats why she allowed Anna to do whatever she pleased. Princess is too kind. She even used her circumstances to make us feel comfortable and didnt get bored by asking Anna to help her in her relationship, when she clearly didnt need any help.
Julia smiled as she continued brewing some tea and coffee.

Naomi and Mischa left the Ramen Store and flew in the sky to return to the base. They had spent more than an hour walking around and eating ramen and were now satisfied, even more so Naomi, who was able to spend a lot of time together with Mischa.
However, Naomi had been determined not to confess her feelings until the danger around her was gone. In this case, the danger was the Esper Association, her organizations enemy, who declared war on them.
That was great, Mischa muttered while looking back at Japan. They had left Japan for a few minutes already and, now they were flying in the middle of the sea, almost arrived at the island base.
Yes, that was great. Answered Naomi. She smiled at Mischa.
They flew side by side, and Mischa was looking at her with a curious expression.
Say, Naomi. What will you do from now on? She asked.
It had been a long, long day for Naomi, even though she spent only a few hours with Mischa. When she was suddenly being asked such a thing, she knew that she should go back to work, to be the leader of the Moon of Akasha.
She had a responsibility to hold, even though her organization was initially made because she was bored. Even though she loved to mess around and do anything she wanted to, one thing that didnt define her was being irresponsible.
She always took responsibility for her action. And it was now the time for her to take the responsibility to end the war that she started out of boredom.
Its such a strange thing. Naomi thought to herself. I wanted to have Esper War, a grand battle to cure my boredom. But who knows that the way to heal my boredom is just by being accompanied by the one you love?
As much as she wanted to spend more time with Mischa, she would end what she started. So she answered Mischa seriously.
I will end the war.
By yourself? Mischa asked worriedly.
No. Naomi shook her head. I will ask for their assistance.
Her goal was to end the war as fast as possible, so she could spend time with Mischa. But, she also wanted to realize her dream of having the greatest Esper War.
Hence, Naomi added. But I will go to the front line.
I see Mischa muttered. She knew Naomis personality well, considering she had stuck close to her for almost every day now. Then I will accompany you. You need me to handle Avos, no?
It is as you said. Naomi smiled, happy about the offer. But you dont need to. I will ask for your help when its necessary.
But Mischa tried to interject, but Naomi shut her mouth by placing her index finger on her mouth.
Did you forget? I am the strongest Esper in the world. The one whos feared by all, Mugetsu. Naomis lips curled upward widely, splitting her face from ear to ear. And I know no defeat until now. I will find a way to defeat him myself.
Mischa couldnt retort to her words because what Naomi said was technically the truth. So, she decided to believe her and nodded, Ask me anytime if you need help. I will be ready to jump to your place by using Hotarus ability.
Yes. I am counting on you, Mischa.
Both of them fell silent after that as they flew back to the base. Naomi deliberately slowed down her flight to spend more time with Mischa, as she knew she wouldnt get a chance like this anytime soon in the future.
