Metallica Holdings CEO, or Ning's first major job as chief, was a paragraph for now around bases and departments around the world.

I could hear the story of myself in the development room, which is my last base, and I think I could give you morale.

The next day, for the first time in a long time, one Ning man was sitting on a bench in Beach Park.

The clear blue sky and breezy breeze feel good. It was a mild afternoon when it was incredible that there would be a battle over all of this world very soon.

"... you're getting sleepy"

I squealed so unexpectedly.

Listening directly to the voice of the field and rebuilding a better organization were necessary for the coming showdown sooner or later, but it still seemed physically and mentally burdensome to do so in a short time. I'm going to fall asleep when I get distracted.

Ning people came to this park to meet her, but there's still over an hour in the promised time. I had nothing to do and I was free so I just came early and bonked.

I could have gone out into the city, but then I stopped because the Nings would have a high chance of getting tangled up by a defective looking young man. I laugh as I do, but I still can't handle that well. He's worked out a lot more than he has since before Metallica joined the company, and although it's unlikely he'll be the first to lag behind a normal person without having to transform or anything like that, he doesn't replace his natural weakness.

I've crossed paths with heroes and monsters, but I've wondered why.

Maybe I really hated fighting and rubbing, and that hasn't changed for a long time, I concluded. So I guess the only time you can fight is when you have a purpose that you have to do even beyond yourself like that.

……

I really like quiet times like this beach park moment. So it makes me sleepy. Besides, it's all the more so because I've been so careful here lately.

Sometimes I really have to think about it. I'm almost ready for the scenario leading up to the final showdown, but I'm also ready for it, and I'm talking about her coming up.

……

But I'm sleepy. The sound of the ocean chirping and the warmer sun invites me more and more to drowsiness. Besides, when I think about the people who are coming, the spirit that I was straining more and more loose.

Ning closed his eyes thinking, just for a moment.

Something soft hits the right side of my body. Ning noticed it in his blurred consciousness.

Smells good, it's comfortable. Calm down.

"... hmm. Munya... Munya..."

Hi. He was asleep. And I feel like falling asleep twice fiercely.

Ning put his eyes closed and his face on the soft one on the right side of his body with a sleigh.

That? What the hell is this?

The thought circuit of the villain who was surviving various phases here in a flash of drive finally awakened.

But I'm meeting up, and I'm asleep on the bench waiting for them, and what it feels like to hit this right side.

…… Oh, sorry!!

Gave up momentum and body well. I was asleep sitting on the bench, and then I was leaning on someone who came next to me. And who was leaning on it?

"Ah... I'm awake"

It's been a long time since I've seen a gentle smile next to a Ning. It's my holiday, so I was in a red culotte skirt on my white blouse. Sometimes my cheeks are just a little bit stained with cherry blossoms, very girly.

I was leaning on her like that and sleeping, not only wondering if I had slipped it into some part of her, I was embarrassed and sorry and upset.

"Ma, I'm really sorry.... Now what... Huh? It's 5: 00 already?

Looking around, the sunset is already hanging on the horizon. And that means he'd been asleep for about two hours, and Maki would have been next to him for about an hour. Even if Minami's body has a cardigan that looks like it belongs to Maki.

"Hehe. Ning ren-kun, I slept a lot. Sleeping face, I missed it."

Makoto laughs like a jerk when he dulls.

Has this guy been sitting on the side waiting for me to wake up? And Goosepiska, you're sleeping. Did they see your stupid face? Ning thought of that and was in a hurry.

"I wish I had woken you..."

Ning said so as he scratched his head out of embarrassment, but Maki shook his head.

"No! Because I was asleep feeling good because of it. And I was kind of happy."

In the face of Maki, who laughed like a light, Ning felt his heartbeat get stronger for a moment.

"You're tired....... sorry. Let me be careful today."

"No, that's not what I'm saying...... uh, how were you?

"Mmm. Normal. How was Ning Ren-kun?

For a while, the two of us talk about other things that we don't love.

Sometimes it was a hiccup and I didn't have much trouble with the story. It's about the stupid things the new name has done recently, or the books we've read about each other recently, the developments in the development room, the taste of alcohol traditionally made in Anthrax, and the new menu at the Oodle Shop.

Talking to girls like this is pretty rare for Ning people, but it was usually fun after all. Michi's calm and transparent voice was pleasant, and I'm glad to see a smile that spills from time to time.

We talked the whole way, and there was only a little time left.

At that time, Maki took a small box out of the bag and offered it to Yuzu and Ning.

"That's right. Um, this. I'll pay you back."

It was the company chapter that Ning kept with her when she left Metallica that Maki took out to treat what was important politely.

Wings of steel, that is a sign of evil that is a metallic motif and a pride for the Nings.

I'm sure you've been taking care of it for a long time, so I figured it out.

"... thanks. Maki."

Ning Man takes it from her thin fingers.

In fact, it was with two intentions that I deposited this company chapter with her.

The first is simply sentimental, but the second is different. And nobody knows except the Ning people.

I wondered what an outward path I was once again, but that's something she can't tell me.

Nor does she hear about Ikeno, who had similarly deposited the company chapter with Maki. Maybe that's for her to think about, and that's gratifying.

Perhaps, in any case, Maki will find out the unexpected facts. I think that's it.

"... really, you've come this far. Ning ren-kun."

There was a little silence and Maki opened his mouth.

"... yeah. Finally, though."

Think of it, the first person Ning spoke of his determination was in the middle of nowhere. Shortly after his death, he came to visit Ning, who was hospitalized.

"I'll walk to the top of Metallica."

Thinking of herself as a low-end General Services employee at the time, she didn't laugh even though the big language was a terrible word. He asked me seriously. It gave me the courage to start climbing the far stairs.

When we first drank together after we defeated the beetle, Maki told us about his situation and wishes. I didn't think I was alone in fighting to change the world as a villain.

"Something, thank you for everything. If it weren't for Maki, I might have lost somewhere."

The Ning people had uttered those words when they realized.

Of course, the same goes for the fellows who have fought together, including Tsurgi and his new name, and I don't think the Nings would have won without them. But that's not what I'm talking about in Maki.

"Oh, that's not true. I don't know... I can't help myself all the time because I'm too rusty... But I'm really glad you said that!

Maki's eyes looked a little moist. The sunset eyes were beautiful.

"It's strange... that I, Ning ren-kun, will always make my dreams come true," he said. I've always thought. "

A true century of hands on your chest and continuing your words with an uncut look.

"So what a pompous cry I had during this previous speech. Ning ren, but it was really grand and so cool.

"Oh, no. That, that. I don't know, I'm in what my new name calls a real evil mode... I don't know, the..."

When I can stare with my big eyes, I can't speak. Ning people could only react as if they were a boy. I became just a little embarrassed myself. I can't see my eyes, so I can only do my gaze at her dark hair, which is sarcastically shaken by the wind.

"Haha. What an embarrassment. This kind of thing. Oh, yeah! Me, I'll buy you a drink too. What would you like?

"Co, coffee, please"

While the Nings were confused, they managed to answer, Maki rose well and left the bench.

Ning was dropping off Maki's back, but a little further away Maki looked back and put his hands on his mouth with his megaphone's heel.

"I forgot to say it right!... Welcome back, Ning ren-kun!

To say that a little louder, you were embarrassed or you blushed, and now in the middle of a small run in a direction where the store is headed for a patty.

That looks cute after all, and very warm to it, and Ning people's hearts are disturbed.

"... ha"

The Ning sighed. I even doubt that this will allow me to say what I was trying to tell you today.

When Ning people think that while sitting on the bench,

I was called from behind.

"Um, Ninja Komori...... is it?

A voice I've never heard. I looked back in a hurry, but there was an unrecognizable man, no boy. Looks like a high school student.

Weird. No matter how much I was talking to Maki, the average person easily took my back while I was awake, and I can't possibly not notice that. That's how much I train.

Then who is this boy? Looks like a very normal high school student from what I've seen. It doesn't look like he has a good special physique, judging by the position of the center of gravity, etc., or is experienced in fighting. He has an impressive neat face and sleepy eyes, but he's either a grown-up boy. At least he shouldn't be the type of person Ning people feel threatened with.

And yet, why?

The Ning killed his frivolous emotions and pretended to be calm even as he felt the sweat flowing on his back.

"... uh"

To the Ning who had devised how to answer, the boy released the following words to fold up.

"It's the leader of Metallica, I'm saying... is that true?

What is it? What is it?

My name is quite unknown. But it shouldn't be so common to the face. Normal high school students couldn't possibly know that, and if they did, they couldn't possibly be talking to me.

In the first place, Ning people's actions and residence are considered top secret. You're not supposed to know I'm here right now. How could you find me?

And the meaning of words is subtly strange. He says he's the leader of Metallica. he said.

Does it mean that someone heard from a third party? But there is no one else on this occasion but him.

"... the leader of Metallica? Me? Why would you think that?

Ning answered him that way to extract the information, staring into his eyes. That's where my intuition runs.

Similar. This boy is similar.

It is not a face, body shape, etc. What's behind this boy's eyes.

The boy resembled 'them', which the Ning had seen more than once.
