Chapter 278: Same but Different Dream 10
Naomi returned to the surface with Mischa and immediately took a car to the military base. The people on the base were confused by her action, but she ignored them.
Mischa also didnt say anything and only accompanied Naomi. She knew why Naomi was in a hurry to the military base. Her father was there, and the military base mustve had an Esper who could track someone else.
So why did they take a car instead of flying? It should be faster to reach the Military base by flying instead of taking a car.
It was because Naomi wanted to stay out of the spys radar. She didnt want to alert the spy, so she took a car with Mischa, so the spy would think that they were on a date. Or something like that.
As the car entered the main street, Naomi gripped the steering wheel tightly as she gritted her teeth.
Its my fault. I ignored Melaines message yesterday and took it as a joke. I also felt that her Esper pressure was gone, but I didnt think much about it.
Dont think too much about it, Naomi. We are all only humans. If you say youre at fault, then I am at fault too. I also felt Melaines Esper pressure disappear instantly last night and only thought that she went out or something. Mischa said in a sad voice.
While the platinum-haired girl was smart, she still put herself behind Naomi. The existence of Akasa Naomi was special for her. As a friend, lover, and someone who could easily solve any kind of problem.
So Mischa wasnt too worried about this situation. She was confident Naomi would be able to solve it. Her role was to support her lover by her side and help her when she was in trouble. Of course, she was the only one who could stop her from rampaging, too, like what she did earlier.
And it seemed like Naomi already had something in mind.
No, no. Youre perfectly fine. It was my fault as a leader that my mother got kidnapped. I just never thought that Melaine would disappear too. There are 3 possibilities of why this situation could happen.
And what is that? Mischa asked curiously.
First, it might be Melaines prank or doing. She might find something and disappear with my mother for a while to evade some unnecessary attention, including mine. That was why she left a message for me.
I see Thats also a possibility if we look at Melaines personality. Mischa nodded. She put her hand on her chin to concentrate and think about the other possibility.
After a few seconds, she thought of one possibility and asked, Then the second one is they found the spy, but the spy managed to defeat or take them away from the base. Is that right?
Yes, thats the second possibility. Honestly, this possibility seems to be less likely among the three. I mean Melaine can stop time. I can't even move when she uses her ability. There is no way the spy can kidnap Melaine and my mother. Unless
The dolls, huh? Thats why you include that possibility even though it is less likely to be true. We have guessed the dolls to have Melaines ability, and the boy may have Avos ability. Combined, they can control time and space. Thats a bit scary when we think about it.
Yeah, thats why I trained myself. Hopefully, this training bore fruit. Naomi chuckled a little. The training that she did with only her theory might not be able to handle Avos ability. Still, she could only try.
I will also help, Naomi. We are in this together. Mischa reassured. She put her hand on top of Naomis thighs to give her some reassurance. She wanted Naomi to believe in her too.
Finally, after a long day, Naomi smiled again as she said, Thanks, Mischa.
So, what is the third possibility, Naomi? Mischa asked.
Ah, this is less likely, but the third possibility is something that I hope wont happen.
And that is?
Hotaru or Luna being the spy and teleporting them to somewhere else, Naomi replied seriously.
Really? Mischas reaction was weak, mainly because the third possibility was more absurd than the previous one. I would believe it more if you said Avos came to the base himself and kidnapped them instead of that possibility.
Right? Thats why I actually dont want to include that, but I must do that. Hyun-Woos barrier allowed him to feel someone from the outside. Avos can breach the barrier just fine, but thats less likely as Hyun-Woo would feel the strangeness in that place. Naomi explained her reasoning to Mischa.
She turned to her lover and continued, That was why at first, I thought it was only Melaines prank. But then, this third possibility felt like the most real one among the three. I dont know, but we will find out.
Yes. I hope it is the first possibility, though.
I hope so too. Oh, weve arrived.

Naomi was given a face pass when she entered the military base. Without stopping somewhere else, she traced her fathers Esper pressure and went toward him directly.
She managed to trace him easily. He was at the training ground with the special squad that she obliterated the other day. She quickly drove to the training ground and passed the familiar track inside the military base. Then she arrived at the location.
Parking the car to the side, Naomi exited with Mischa.
The military base is huge
It is. Now, lets ask whether my father knows where my mother is. Maybe the first possibility is the correct one.
Alright.
Naomis father, Tetsuma, was standing on the side of the training ground with his arms crossed. He apparently noticed Naomis arrival as he looked in their direction with a soft smile.
When Naomi and Mischa approached him, he raised his hand slightly. Look who it is, my lovely daughter and Mischa. He exclaimed. Should I ask why you are here? Your expression looks serious.
Naomi stopped right before Tetsuma, with Mischa standing beside her. She looked at her father and said, Yeah, actually. I am here to confirm something.
What is it? Is it about the Militarys preparation for war? If thats the case, then the preparation is going smoothly. We have put some soldiers around our border, so we will immediately know when the Esper Association attacks us.
Thats good. But thats not what I wanted to confirm and ask. Its unrelated to the Military.
Its not about the Military?
Yes. Father, do you know where mother is? I cant find her and Melaine everywhere. More than that, I cant feel Melaines Esper pressure anywhere.
Huh? Tetsumas expression became serious as he lowered his arms. Isnt she in the base?
No. Naomi shook her head. So, as expected? Shes not here too?
No. Mizuki never leaves the base. She told me that if she ever leaves, then Its either there is a personal matter, or she is forced to leave by someone. If it is the former, then she will say something to me. So it leaves the latter.
I see. Mother has really been kidnapped by someone, right?
Damn it! Tetsuma cursed loudly.
