37-Episode 35: White Sister






 In the command room of the heterogeneous organization Divine's headquarters, Menace, the general manager of the organization, and Flair and Von, the heads of the various departments, were having a meeting.

''Menas-sama, the maintenance of the Brave Series has been completed. I'll be the one to capture the 'bond'........
'Enough, Von. It is forbidden for you to come in contact with the 'Combine', 'Grant', or 'Cold Heat', including Kosuke Yuki.
Nah!

 Von is astonished by Menace's words.
 'Even if we give up 'granting' and 'cold heat', it's because the 'bonding' xenomorphs are essential to achieving the organization's goals.

''Nah, why? If we can merge the 'divine power' we've spent so many years gathering into us through the odd ability of 'union', we can reach God!

 The Road to God is just one step closer. Von, who can't give up when it's right in front of him, objects to Menace's decision.

'Von, you are being disrespectful to Lady Menace. You must refrain.
But...
Von!
I'm sorry, Master Menace.

 Flair remonstrated with Von.

'Good, your opinion is valid. I'm sure you're not the only one who's concerned. Therefore, it would not be wise to get involved with them any further.
But.....

 To convince Von, who gives a clipped reply, Menace continues to explain.

'Von, do you remember the incident that led to the confirmation of Kosuke Yuki's existence?
'This is the case where Diess was detained as a thug and Kosuke Yuki was featured in the media as the super high school student who captured Diess. How could I forget that?

 Based on the testimony of the officers and reporters involved in the case, it had become one of the most famous cases in the organization as a case of massive tampering with memory manipulation through unusual abilities and techniques.

''Hmm. And we've been monitoring the reporters and some policemen who were involved in that case, and the result is that they are likely to have been subjected to a 'rewriting of events'.
Oh, is it true?

 Von was astonished at Menace's words.

'It's true. I observed them, and there was no sign of the falsified memories returning. That means they were not affected by the world's modifying power.
Oh, no... if this is true...
''Hmm. It means that there is someone close to Yuki Kosuke who can use 'divine ESP' or 'divine magic' that can falsify memories.

 Von, who had been listening to Menace's explanation, continued to speak with an expression of disbelief on his face.

''In other words, do you mean to say that there is a 'memory tampering' xenomorph or sorcerer behind them that has reached the realm of the gods?''
Mm, that's what I'm talking about.

 After understanding Menace's explanation, Von was speechless with surprise.

 If that was the case, it would mean that there were those who had already achieved the goal of 'reaching God', which the organization had not yet achieved even after so many years and so much effort.

''It is not yet confirmed. It is possible that they are simply combining various different abilities and techniques to recreate a phenomenon similar to the 'rewriting of events'.
Even if that's the case, in the sense that you have that much strength, it's dangerous to interfere with Kosuke Yuki and his surroundings.

 Flare supplemented Menace's explanation.

'That's not all. The agents we had infiltrated various agencies in the province are being arrested one after another at this time. It's difficult to continue the operation any further.
Oh, really?
Hmm. Perhaps, but I suppose there are some users who are better at manipulating information than others.
Not only in physical combat, but also in information warfare...

 After hearing the explanation so far, Von recognized how much of an existence he was dealing with.

'Von, do you understand what Master Menace is thinking?'
I understand. I'm sorry I didn't think that far ahead.

 Looking at Von, who appeared to be convinced, Menace and Flair nodded.

''Then, interference with Kosuke Yuki and his surroundings is prohibited in the future. Is that alright?
Ha!

 Von and Flair agreed with Menace's decision.




'Well, shall we get back to business?

 In the conference room after Menace left the room, Flare opened her mouth as she stood up.

''.........''
Von, what's wrong?

 At Von's lack of response, Flair calls out to him with a dubious look on his face.

'No, it's nothing. Let's get back to business.'
Well....

 Flair left the room, wondering, but not really pursuing it.

'By God ... I'm ...

 No one noticed the ambition Von had at this time.













Hey, you want some apple juice?
Caw!

 White replied back cheerfully.
 I guess I've regained my confidence thanks to bumping off the opposing organization. Good, good.

''Yes, Black, that's green juice.
Nuh-uh! Why?!

 Why? I mean, that's punishment.
 Even if it's to reassure me when I'm rescuing you, he's punishing me for telling you who I really am.
 "I accidentally found you in trouble and saved your ass. And how hard it was to make up for it with a style excuse that wasn't a lie but didn't give details....

'Green juice....'

 Well, I'm grateful for what you did for me by punching me into the different organizations.

''Hm? It's surprisingly good. Good.

 So I've adjusted the flavor properly with apples and bananas. The sloppiness and color are exorbitant, but the taste should be good.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that you received a letter in the mail a while ago. I received a letter in the mail a while ago.

 Black held out an envelope to me, staining his mouth with green juice. What is it, a bill for the internet?

It's just like a letter. 'Hello, I'm Yui! I made this for you, for helping me out. Ka.

 I think I've heard of Yuy before. But it's okay.
 Anyway, the handwriting is terrible. It's hard to read with all the hiragana and bad handwriting.

"Hm? There's something else in there too.

 When I took it out, I found it was a copy of a person named 'Yuki Rin''s family register and a copy of his certificate of residence.

''Yuuki Lynn?''

 Could this possibly be Lynn's household registration and residence card!
 And my parents are now my parents. And they're my sister, by the way of birth date!

What is this?

 The chairman's father would be able to do it with power, but he wouldn't know who I am. So it's very likely that it's someone else.

"Who the hell is...
Hmm. Maybe it was sent by those three benefactors.
Are those three people Shizuku-san and her friends?
Yeah. They say their benefactor can do anything. They said he's far away now, but wouldn't it be possible for him to make a register or something?
Well, maybe it's possible if you use a different power or something.

 So you used some kind of unusual ability to know that I had to do something about Rin's household registration and residency records, and created them by tampering with them.
 'Orei for saving me' makes sense if it's for saving Shizuku and the others.

''You have a useful power, don't you?''
Not as much as you, I suppose.

 You're right.

'But Lynn is your sister. Since she was born after White, I feel like she's more of White's sister.
Kerr.

 As he muttered that, White gave a quiet purr.

''So, you must be the parent of White, Rin and Nia.
That's a bit complicated.

 But if you ask me, you're right.
 I'm only a freshman in high school, but before I knew it, I was a parent.

'Let's just take this one for now, shall we?

 I put Lynne's family register and certificate of residence in the important document drawer on the shelf that serves as a telephone stand.

'Shouldn't you think a little more about who sent them?
'Okay. If you think about it now, you probably won't know.

 The fact that the letter was poorly written is highly likely that he wrote it that way on purpose to hide his handwriting. If that's the case, the other person probably doesn't want us to know his or her true identity.
 If this expectation is correct, we don't know if the name Yui is also true.

In the first place, I have no intention of doing anything about it just because I identified it. Rather, I'm honestly grateful that you've made Lin's family register.''

 It's not easy to explain to your parents, though....

I mean, if you're really curious, you can ask Shizuku-san and the others.
I certainly do.

 Black seemed to agree with me.

'I've got more to think about than that.
Something to think about?

 Not only Black, but also White and the others who were listening to the story are tilting their heads.
 It can't be helped, I'll tell you what to do.

''Those are the clothes you're going to wear to shop for 'overnight recreation'!
"..........

 They all looked at me like, 'Oh, that's not so bad.

 Anyway, I quietly went about picking out my clothes for next Saturday's shopping.











 White thinks about it.

'Since I was born after White, I feel like I'm more of White's sister.

 This is because that one word that Kosuke casually uttered is strangely lingering in my heart.

''Ka........''

 Shiro tilts his head, feeling a strange sensation of forgetting something, as if he is forgetting something.
 No matter how much he thinks about it, he can't remember it, but all he can feel is a sense of urgency, as if he was looking for someone.

''I'm home!''

 Just then, Kosuke's voice echoes through the house as he returns home from shopping.

'Ka!'

 The moment he heard his voice, White's frustration vanished and he cheerfully welcomed his master home.
