Chapter 52 Part 6: New Year Event

“Jeff?” Amy’s welcoming voice. Her eyes, wide open in surprise, turned to me.

Amy, who had been looking at me for a moment, approached me and opened the door.

The door, which had been slightly closed, opened wide, revealing the inside.

A bunch of unidentifiable tools were strewn about. Among them was the suit that Amy had worn before.

“Rain and Shine too?”

Amy, who had opened the door wide and came out, was quite surprised that we had come.

“Rain. Didn’t you tell Amy?”

“No? I just asked where she was.”

Rain answered my question as if there was nothing wrong. I carefully began to watch Amy’s expression.

However, she only gave a small smile and patted my head, not questioning my sudden visit.

“You came to see me?” “Yes…” I answered with a strong nod.

“Um…” Amy’s slightly smiling expression became subtle.

She put her hand away and looked back.

My, Shine, and Rain’s eyes followed Amy.

Looking into the room, a woman holding a folder was standing there.

A woman in a pure white gown and long orange hair. She was definitely someone I remembered.

“Hello~” Mary. That’s right. It was the person I met when Amy and Shine sneaked out of the room before. She smiled kindly and waved at us.

“Hello!” She was a good person. She tried to help me when we first met.

“Jeff, who are you?” Shine, who was standing behind her, asked curiously.

Her arm was slightly pulled. Shine’s hand gently intertwined with mine.

“I’m Mary, who I met before. She helped me.”

“Are you going to help Jeff?”

“Yeah. I had a hard time going up the stairs.”

“You’re a good person.” Shine finally let go of her arm and walked forward to greet her.

“Hello, Mary.” “Hello. You’re Shine?” “Yeah.” “You two look the same.” “Yeah, we both are the same.”

Shine, who was talking to Mary, nodded with a satisfied expression. She seemed to like Mary.

“Mary. Can the kids be in here?”

“There’s nothing dangerous, so it doesn’t really matter. But please be careful not to let the kids touch the items.”

Amy, who was talking to Mary, looked back at us and said.

“Did you hear? You shouldn’t touch anything.” Shine, Rain, and I nodded and entered the room.

The support items displayed around looked quite expensive.

It was clear that if we touched them rashly, something big would happen.

I looked around blankly and walked towards the suit that I assumed Amy had worn.

I had a question about the suit and tried to ask Amy, but she seemed busy talking to Mary.

My slightly raised hand hesitated in the air.

I, who had been mumbling, let out a small sigh and shook my head.

It didn’t seem like Amy’s conversation would end any time soon.

“You know this.” Shine, who was looking around at the surroundings, walked towards the suit with Rain and said.

That day, I was rescued by Amy in a suit, so she must remember this too.

“Amy was wearing this.” “That’s right.”

As I looked at the suit, I thought of a man wearing a suit similar to the one Amy was wearing.

The sight of him actively using his physical enhancement ability to tear apart a steel door like paper was an unforgettable and intense memory.

As I recalled the events of that day, I opened my mouth at the chain of memories that came to mind.

Now that I think about it, is that Ramonax guy still alive?

“Hmm…” A headache creeps up on me.

I rubbed my forehead and looked back at Rain.

She was looking at the suit with sparkling eyes.

“Does Rain have something like this?”

“Me?” Rain, who had been concentrating on the suit as if she didn’t expect to be asked, shook her head in surprise.

“No. I don’t have something like this.”

“Why?”

“Hmm. I don’t have the ability to use my body, so I don’t have to step forward.”

Rain raised her hand as she said that. Small water droplets gathered at her fingertips.

When I looked at her as if I was curious, she smiled and blew the water droplets at me.

The cold, scattering water droplets brushed my cheek.

“I see…” I nodded while wiping the water droplets off my cheek.

“And this is really expensive.”

“Expensive?”

“Yeah.”

What was the exact price of the suit?

I looked at Rain as if I was curious, but she didn’t seem to know the exact price either.

The expression “expensive” didn’t really hit home.

Shine seemed to think the same, so I asked Rain.

“Then how much of a sandwich can I buy with this?”

Shine’s question was pure in its intent. The most expensive thing she thought of was a sandwich.

“Uh… I could probably eat until I die.”

I pictured a mountain of sandwiches at Rain’s words.

The number of sandwiches I could eat until I was full.

The number of sandwiches began to pile up. The sight of countless sandwiches falling down.

“Ugh…” I shook my head with a slightly tired expression.

I like sandwiches, but if I were told to eat only sandwiches for the rest of my life, I would get sick of them.

“How about tonkatsu?”

“Maybe tonkatsu would be the same?”

This time, I imagined a mountain of tonkatsu instead of sandwiches.

No, this time, I imagined an incredibly large tonkatsu.

The size was beyond imagination, like a large island. Crispy fried coating floating on the ocean.

My mouth started to water.

“Jeff. Are you hungry?”

“Ugh…” While I was daydreaming happily, Shine came over and wiped my mouth with a handkerchief.

Judging from the slightly damp feeling, I think I was drooling without realizing it.

Anyway, it was time to realize how great this suit was.

“Will my abilities become stronger if I wear this?”

“Probably not?” Shine and I began to exchange opinions while looking at the suits.

Thinking back to Amy and the man, it seemed like it would not just enhance my abilities, but also have other additional effects.

First of all, judging from the fact that my electricity didn’t flow through it, it seemed to have the ability to block external powers.

“I want to wear it too.” Shine muttered softly and reached out to the suit.

I urgently reached out and grabbed her hand, saying,

“No. Amy told me not to touch it.”

Shine nodded obediently and put her hand down.

“And Shine can’t wear this.”

“Why?” Shine asked, as if she was really curious about what I said. I slowly answered, watching her wavering gaze.

“Because she’s short.” I pointed to the legs of the suit. The long, stretched-out shape of the suit.

As if to say that it was custom-made for Amy, her arms and legs were stretched out.

Compared to that, how were we? I waved my short arms.

“We can’t wear it.”

“I see…” Shine stuck out her tongue as if she was disappointed.

“Rain can’t wear it either.”

“Yeah.”

“I… I don’t need it!?”

At our two words, Rain responded, flapping her arms in embarrassment.

Her face turned slightly red.

“Rain. It’s not that I don’t need it, it’s that I can’t wear it.”

“No! It’s different, but I have one too!” Rain shouted, growling.

I was startled. Does that mean Rain has her own suit? It’s so small? Smaller than ours?

“Rain has a suit too?”

“Of course!”

“Show me!”

Shine must have wanted to see Rain’s suit so badly that she hung onto her arm and shook it here and there.

Rain’s blonde hair swayed in all directions.

“… understand. Just wait a minute.”

Rain, who was shaking violently, pushed Shine away and shouted at Mary, who was talking to Amy.

“Mary! Where’s my suit?”

“Huh? Rain’s suit? Wait a minute!”

Mary ran over to grab a silver 007 bag from a nearby desk.

“Here it is! All the repairs are done. Now it’s just a simple test.”

“Really? You’re done already?”

“Of course. It’s me, Mary.”

Rain took the bag from Mary, put it on the floor, and unlocked it.

There was a click and the bag’s mouth opened wide.

Shiny yellow.

It was the color I saw when I looked at the wide-open bag.

“Ta-da!” Rain smiled as she took out a yellow raincoat from her bag.

A bright smile, and an air of pride as if she wanted to show off.

Rain, who was smiling, wrapped the raincoat around her body.

It was a color that matched her yellow hair well. Rain looked like a chick.

Rain, who was wearing a yellow raincoat, sat down on the floor and took out another item from her bag.

It was also a cute pair of yellow boots. Rain picked up the boots and put them on, spinning around in place.

“How are they?”

“Uh…” I compared the suit Rain was wearing with Amy’s suit one by one.

It suited Rain quite well.

“It suits you well.”

“Yeah. It’s pretty.”

“Really?” Tap tap tap-

Rain stomped her feet in her boots as if she was excited.

“Mary! Can I test it now?”

“Yes. Should I open the training room?”

“Get ready now.”

Tongtong – Small water droplets floated around Rain, who started jumping in place. Very small water droplets.

She waved her hand to scatter the water droplets.

“Follow me!” Rain ran after Mary, saying “dudadada.” Shine and I also followed behind Rain.

Inside the room, there was a door leading to a wide space. A square, pure white space.

Memories of the lab came to mind as we could see inside through the large glass wall.

“Look carefully!”

Rain, who had entered the training room, waved to us, who were standing in front of the glass wall.

Shine and I pressed ourselves up against the glass wall to watch Rain.

Rain, who had stopped in place, took a deep breath, then began to bounce.

Light movements.

Thump thump – The sound of footsteps dispersed.

Small, shining water droplets began to gather around the blonde who was shaking up and down.

Rain smiled as she looked at the sight, then reached out and clapped her hands.

Clap! A loud ringing sound. At the same time, water droplets flew in all directions.

The water droplets scattered in all directions began to grow in size in an instant.

Water droplets floating in the sky. No, can you even call them water droplets?

The large sphere of water slowly rippled. Rain stomped her feet in place.

At that moment, the sphere of water floating in the sky burst and poured out a waterfall-like stream of water.

I opened my mouth wide in surprise. A large waterfall pouring down from the sky. No, is that pouring down?

The stream of water that had been connected in a straight line showed no signs of disappearing.

It went up and then down. The stream of water Rain had created was repeating that action.

Thump-thump-thump! Rain stomped her feet again. Over and over again. The small sound of footsteps could be heard loudly.

Starting with that sound, the large sphere of water floating in the sky began to pour down all at once.

Swish- the sound of a waterfall you could hear when you went to the mountains.

I couldn’t help but blink at Rain’s ability that reminded me of that.

However, as if that wasn’t the end, she looked towards us and her eyes sparkled.

“I’ll show you something cool!” As she spoke, Rain lifted her fingers into the air. Long, graceful fingers.

Rain began to spin her entire arm. At the same time, several rows of waterfalls began to move.

The long streams of water connected together and began to spin around Rain’s body as she gestured.

A whirlpool. A huge wave of water created a rough sound.

Swish! The speed of the water was incredible, as anyone could tell at a glance.

The vortex spread wide and grew large enough to cover the entire room.

Rain jumped onto the vortex. I twitched my fingers in surprise, but Rain walked on the water vortex as if it were a path, unaffected.

“Huh…”

A yellow chick walked on water. I rubbed my cheeks that were flushed red as I watched the fairytale-like sight.
