Chihaya Aine has nine wings

This world has never been friendly to rebels.

Perhaps she has always understood this truth. Or perhaps, she will eventually understand it.

It's night now.

In the RING coffee shop, a girl with crimson hair was sitting alone, stirring the ice in her lemon tea with a straw, her eyes distracted, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Her name is Jing Qin Rencai, she is sixteen years old and now has dropped out of school. She encountered bullying in her original school, but she resisted the bully and used her supernatural powers to injure the bully.

So she was punished.

It was obvious that she was the one being bullied, and it was obvious that she was also covered in scars.

Teachers, classmates, parents, and friends all stood behind each other.

Rencai, I can't accept it.

So she rebelled against everything, left home, dropped out of school, and came to Tokyo alone, hoping to go to college by self-study.

Thus proving that she can succeed on her own.

This proves that she was not wrong.

But the reality is always harsh.

She is a beautiful girl living alone in Tokyo, and Tokyo has been very turbulent recently and is always dangerous.

She and two other girls did form a hero team, but didn't actually do many heroic activities.

In addition, self-study is also difficult. She has also signed up for tutoring classes, but large classes are always difficult to treat the symptoms. Her learning problems are piling up, and if they are not solved in time, her learning journey will only stagnate.

Therefore, she wanted to find a relatively cheap tutor who was well-educated, preferably of the same age, approachable, and would not laugh at her, and who could work with her to protect each other's safety.

Best of all, he's still a hero.

So, she came to RING to find it.

Why is it best to be a hero?

Because, Nina actually admires heroes. This can be seen from the fact that she signed up for a hero team as soon as she arrived in Tokyo.

Apart from her family, the two people who had the greatest influence on her life were one who wanted to be a hero and the other who was once her favorite hero.

One is the former captain of the hero team Diamond Dust, Momoka Kawaharagi, who is now the person who formed a hero team with her and performed heroic activities during the sports festival.

He was the one who supported Ninai's spirit with his reliable back when she was bullied.

And the other one...

She recalled a disaster she had encountered on the ski slope when she was a child.

And the girl of the same age as him who saved everyone on the cable car by her own strength.

Yes, they were the same age. At that time, she could only cry helplessly and fearfully, while the other party had already found a way to save everyone.

Rencai, adores each other from the bottom of her heart.

But unfortunately, she never saw her again from that day on.

She only remembered that the girl told her that she would be a hero in the future.

……

She is so amazing, she must have succeeded by now, right? She must have become the backbone of some super powerful heroic team, right?

If I become a hero, maybe one day I will have the chance to meet him again?

The girl sighed softly, leaned over the table, and stared blankly at the ice cubes floating and spinning in the cup.

Rin Rinzi came to her side: "Were you looking for me just now?"

"Ah...um..."

Renai was a little shy, "I, um, the tutor I was looking for..."

"uh-huh?"

"No, she said she was leaving Tokyo? So you asked me if I could change..."

She looked at her fingers. "Please change them."

The tutor had clearly accepted the job of tutoring her, but he stood her up on her first day at work.

Feels like a very bad guy.

"Actually, she...seems like she can teach you again now?"

Rin Rinko tilted her head.

Nina's tutor is Chihaya Aine.

She had to leave Tokyo before, so she could no longer tutor, but later she decided to stay, so she could teach Nina again.

"… Let's change it."

Renai shook her head.

This guy who doesn't keep his promise can no longer be trusted since the first time he stood up.

I just hope that the tutor she hired with her meager savings is reliable...

...If I were a little more greedy, I hope...

In her mind, she recalled the pink-haired girl who had saved her when she was a child and who shone brightly in her memory.

I hope it's her.

"Okay, then I'll help you contact other people, but you may have to wait a little longer."

Rin Rinko said, "Because I have something else to do right now."

Then, her face suddenly changed as she looked at the phone.

"Tsk, things are getting bad."

……

At first, Ihei and Jinbe just thought that the cow was chasing someone else.

Rumbling, there was the sound of walls being smashed through and shattered one after another.

He was not worried at first because he had known about the existence of the cow and he and his followers were all wearing dark blue clothes.

But as the sound of the collision got closer, he finally felt something was wrong.

However, it was too late to escape anymore.

The wall of the safe house was smashed open, and the second follower reacted the fastest, blocking Ihei Jinpei with his sword.

Then, both of them were knocked away together.

“Moo!——”

The bull, carrying two people, smashed the door of the safe house and rushed out.

Only the dazed Follower No. 1 and Nagasaki Suyo were left.

"Jinbei!"

Follower No. 1 ran out.

Only Nagasaki Suyo is left.

What's happening here?

What is this cow? Is it a creature created by Chihaya Aine's supernatural power? Or is it the supernatural power of other heroes?

...I don't know how she did it, but...

It must have been Chihaya Aine who did it, right?

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy about the tacit understanding between her and the other party, or to laugh at the other party's understanding of her little thoughts. Nagasaki Suyo was feeling very complicated.

She could hear people coming outside and fighting with the bull together. The battle was fierce.

Sighing, she touched the power inhibitor on her neck.

She had to find a way to get rid of this thing as soon as possible.

Aine would definitely not come in front of her——because that would directly lead to Ichinose’s attack.

Therefore, she now has to rely on herself...

"Soyorin~"

The pink-haired girl came over lightly, "Long time no see~"

"……you?"

Su Shi was stunned, then his expression changed drastically, "Why did you come here?!"

He will kill you!

"Hmm? You came here because you wanted to see Soyorin?"

Ai Ne tilted her head.

Behind her, Li Xi and others followed.

"You will all be attacked by Ichinose!"

“There are no cameras here.”

Aiyin blinked, "Even if there is, aren't you here? Can't we just deal with him?"

She shook her phone: "Many heroes have already set out to capture Ichinose."

"...You really have no sense of security at all..."

Then, Aine froze for a moment, leaned closer to her phone, and frowned as she read the message in the group.

"what."

Aiyin's voice deepened, "It seems like there is bad news."

"what?"

Li Xi stepped forward and pulled off the power inhibitor on Su Shi's neck, then turned around and asked.

"One piece of news is that it was discovered that Cuscuta was actually absorbing nutrients from the Big Tree Hotel and was cocooning in an attempt to evolve. If he succeeds in emerging, he may become an extremely difficult enemy to deal with."

Aine read the message on her phone.

"There is another piece of news... that is, the various heroic teams have not found any trace of Ichinose in the server clusters in various places..."

"did not find?"

buzzing...

Outside, there was the sound of flapping wings.

"Woodworm?"

Li Xi was alert. "No, that's not right. This sound is more like some mechanical equipment..."

Where is Ichinose?

In the huge monitoring room, Ichinose was lying on a chair, watching the scenes on countless screens.

Looking at those pictures, I quickly shuttled through the hotel corridors.

This is a place that heroes would never think of first.

Yes, even if they were discovered, they would definitely not be able to fight their way up.

[“All cameras are directly connected to the satellite space station… and then connected to the security company’s private servers across Japan, using the satellite space station as a hub…”]

And there is no trace of Ichinose in any of the server clusters of this security company.

Yes, even if the heroes are fools, Ichinose's hiding place should be obvious.

"Everything else is fine, except that it's too far from the earth."

he said to himself.

——Satellite space station.

That mirror can even allow people to travel between the earth and space.
