Chapter 30

I went straight to the teachers' room, and knocked on the door.

(Ichika): "Orimura-Sensei. Are you there?"

The door opened and my sister appeared with Maya-Sensei beside her. I was happy that someone was good friends with my sister.

(Chifuyu): "What was Orimura? Why are you wearing this outfit and equipment?"

(Ichika): "I will tell you everything."

She looked at me confused, but quickly her eyes widened when she understood what I meant.

(Chifuyu): "Why is it so out of nowhere?"

(Ichika): "Remember that I said I needed to introduce you to someone? Well, I can introduce you now... but I need to take you somewhere first."

She stared at me for a while. But then the expression softened a little.

(Chifuyu): "Maya, I'm going with my little brother to see what it is, can you take care of things here?"

(Maya): "Of course."

(Chifuyu): "You can go ahead."

I went ahead with her right behind, we left the Academy, without bumping into anyone, because I asked Iris to let me know if we were close to anyone, especially Daryl Casey and her accomplices.

We headed towards that same alley where I learned about the family's truth.

(Chifuyu): "Who are you going to introduce me to Ichika? And why did you take the sword and the rest?"

(Ichika): "This person is very important, and I just took my things as a precaution."

(Chifuyu): "Are you going to introduce me to your girlfriends?" - I felt a certain anger in her turn.

(Ichika): "Not yet, they are traveling. No, who I am going to introduce is even more important."

We walked the rest of the way in silence, until we reached that same alley. But I couldn't see Madoka anywhere.

(Chifuyu): "Where's that person?"

(Ichika): "Maybe it hasn't arrived yet... a moment, please."

I put the visor on and looked for signs of heat, but I didn't see any, but then I remembered what happened and looked up, and saw that she was there, in the same place that I hid when Madoka followed me for 7 years .

(Ichika): "I found her... just a moment."

I went to her side, while Chifuyu-nee looked at me a little confused. When I went up, she was curled up in a corner, hugging her legs.

(Ichika): "What's up."

She just looked at me, and then she looked at Chifuyu-nee, and her expression became worried, almost terrified, it seems that the fear of not being accepted was still there.

(Ichika): "Do you remember what I told you, in that same alley, 7 years ago?"

She just nodded.

(Ichika): "So there's nothing to be afraid of." - I said while extending my hand.

She stared at me and slowly took my hand. I pulled her out and held her in a princess style, she was surprised when I did it, but she didn't struggle. I jumped up and went straight to Chifuyu-nee.

Chifuyu-nee was looking at me confused, after all Madoka hid her face when we arrived on the floor.

(Chifuyu): "Ichika... who is this?"

(Ichika): "This... is our sister." - I said as I put her on the floor and turned her to face Chifuyu-nee.

Chifuyu-nee's eyes went wide when she saw Madoka's face. I just hoped that everything would go well.

(Madoka): "P-Pleasure to meet you... Chifuyu-nee... I-I am... Orimura Madoka..."

(Chifuyu's POV)

I thought my head was going to explode, as well as my heart. In front of me was a version of me at Ichika's age, and after he introduced her as our sister I didn't know what to think.

(Madoka): "P-Pleasure to meet you... Chifuyu-nee... I-I am... Orimura Madoka..."

In front of me was more... another one of my clones had survived... I had a little sister...

I just approached her and held her face with both hands, while looking her straight in the eye. She was clearly terrified, possibly afraid that I would not accept her.

I just stared looking for the right words, and they just came.

(Chifuyu): "Sorry... for leaving you alone..."

My little sister started to cry and hugged me. I admit that I also started to cry. when I returned the hug. Shortly afterwards I felt another person hugging me and I saw that it was Ichika. I also hugged him, as well as Madoka, and we stayed with the three of them like that for a while, with the only one who wasn't crying being Ichika.

My family was bigger than I thought. After my heart calmed down, I looked at my little brother and sister.

(Chifuyu): "Actually... you..." - I was surprised when I realized that my voice was not louder than a whisper.

I couldn't even ask if they knew about the [Mosaic Project]. The [Mosaic Project] had left a very big scar on me, being the only light that I received from that thing being Ichika, although now I had Madoka.

(Ichika): "If it's about [Mosaic Project], we already know..."

I looked at Ichika in amazement. He already knew my biggest secret.

(Chifuyu): "Since when?"

(Madoka): "When we first met."

I could hear Ichika talking to her up there, he had said that they met 7 years ago.

(Chifuyu): "So... why..." - I faced Ichika, afraid to finish the question but he seemed to know what it was by the answer.

(Ichika): "Because it doesn't matter how I came into the world, Chifuyu-nee. As long as we are still a family, I may even be the son of the devil that I wouldn't mind."

Again I felt the tears fall again. I never told Ichika that because I didn't want our relationship to break, but far from it, she was stronger than I thought.

Seeing that I was crying, he hugged me again. I felt comfortable in his arms. I stayed like that for a while until I really calmed down.

(Chifuyu): "I am the older sister, and I am being comforted..."

(Ichika): "Even you need a break, Chifuyu-nee."

He smiled at me, as always, as if nothing else mattered but our family.

(Chifuyu): "I'm sorry... I hid it from you..."

(Ichika): "It's okay... now it's my turn to speak."

(Madoka): "Where are we going, Ichika-nii?"

(Ichika): "First, let me see your IS, Madoka. I want to know if they put a tracker on it."

Ichika, took the rested form of Madoka's IS, which surprised me that she had one, and kept messing with it.

(Chifuyu): "Madoka, where did you get this IS?"

(Madoka): "With the people who were with me ..."

(Chifuyu): "Who?"

(Madoka): "...[Phantom Task]..."

(Chifuyu): "WHAT?! How did they get you?"

(Madoka): "The current leader's grandfather, was one of the project scientists..."

It made my anger grow. Did they make a point of kidnapping my sister?

(Ichika): "I finished. They didn't put a tracker on the IS, nor on you."

(Chifuyu): "What do you have to tell me, Ichika?"

(Ichika): "It's time to show my group."

(Ichika's POV)

Chifuyu-nee was looking at me confusedly, but I asked them to continue following me. We walked a little further and arrived at the building that was the entrance to the vehicles, which also had an elevator.

(Chifuyu): "Why are we here, Ichika?"

(Ichika): "It's the entrance."

I opened the gate and the three of us entered. I closed the gate and went to a part of the wall and pressed an invisible button. Soon after, a part of the wall opened to reveal an elevator.

(Ichika): "Come on." - I said while entering and holding the door.

My sisters came in, with Chifuyu-nee staring in awe at the elevator, and I let the door close. When it opened, we were in the garage, the three of us went out and I guided them into the main hall. When we passed, I saw Snake's motorcycle there, it seems that she returned from the mission.

We continue to walk towards the reader. I put my hand on it, and the same robotic voice has always spoken.

(Robo): "Welcome back, [Zodiac Beasts], Dragon."

As soon as the door opened I went in and screamed.

(Ichika): "I'm back!"

Mice, who was at the computer, turned and greeted me.

(Mice): Hi Ichika. He came back early. What happened?"

I moved enough to show my sisters, and she understood what was going on.

(Mice): "I will call Dragon-sama."

She left the computer and followed one of the corridors.

(Madoka): "Your base is bigger than I expected, Ichika-nii."

(Chifuyu): "Ichika..."

She was clearly shocked by this. It was no wonder, I just said that I was part of [Zodiac Beasts], a group of assassins.

(Ichika): "I'm sorry I hid this..."

(Chifuyu): "S-Since when..."

(Ichika): "Since I was seven."

At that time someone hugged me from behind, when I turned my head I saw Snake hugging me.

(Snake): "Ichika~, I missed you." - she said that and gave me a kiss on the lips.

(Ichika): "I missed you too."

My sister's expression went from shock to anger the moment Snake kissed me. Soon after, the rest of the group arrived, including Dragon-Sensei.

(Dragon): "It seems that you decided to tell her... and even brought your little sister..."

(Ichika): "I thought it would be better, Dragon-Sensei."

(Chifuyu): "Sensei?"

(Dragon): "Yes, Orimura Chifuyu. I am Kawano Tatsuo, leader of [Zodiac Beasts], and Ichika's mentor."

(Chifuyu): "He said he was here since he was seven..."

(Dragon): "Yes..."

(Chifuyu): "How can you accept a child?"

(Dragon): "That was his will."

(Ichika): "Chifuyu-nee, let me explain from the beginning, okay?"

She calmed down a little and nodded, but she was still looking at Dragon-Sensei very angry.

I told everything, from my kidnapping at the age of seven, where Tiger saved me, what was my determination to do that, which made her a little red, and my years of training, along with the missions I did.

(Ichika): "And... that's it."

Chifuyu-nee just stared at me, without saying a word. I started to get nervous about that silence. I could handle battles to the death in a good way, but if I were rejected by Chifuyu-nee, I think I wouldn't be able to take it.

She just got up, came over to me and hugged me. I returned the hug and it was my turn to cry. It seems that the idea of ​​being rejected by Chifuyu-nee for this job was bigger than I thought.

(Chifuyu): I'm sorry, Ichika. "- she told me when we separated.

(Ichika): "It's okay, Chifuyu-nee."

She was clearly talking about being the cause of my kidnapping, but I didn't care, because thanks to that, I had the chance to get stronger so I could defend her. Not to mention the friends I made here.
