On Hakuto's side, he was riding his motorcycle, following the supercomputer's guidance, bringing Ayumi and Nao to the entrance of the base.
"You mean that Otosaka Yuu has realized his ability is 'plunder'?" Nao leaned close to Hakuto's ear and asked in a low voice.
Hakuto nodded. "Although I'm not sure about the exact situation, we'll understand once we meet Shunsuke."
Hakuto walked up to the entrance of the base, and the base's sensor gate seemed to detect his arrival, slowly opening automatically.
"Hmm? Have you been here before?" Nao asked in confusion as she looked at the automatically opening gate.
"No... but maybe they're afraid I'd tear it down, so they set it to open automatically."
After all, Shunsuke knew just how powerful Hakuto was in his supercomputer state — even a gate made of alloy could be torn open by him.
Therefore, the moment he sensed Hakuto's arrival, Shunsuke immediately opened the gate.
"Let's go, little Ayumi. I'll take you to find your other brother."
...
The way inside was smooth and unobstructed. Hakuto soon reached the deepest part of the base where Shunsuke and the others were waiting.
"Everyone's here, huh? Long time no see, everyone."
"You sure seem to remember a lot," Shichino said, complaining a little as he looked at Hakuto's overly familiar demeanor.
"Actually, not that much. But it has been a long time."
Ayumi, hiding behind Hakuto, saw Otosaka Yuu not far away and immediately ran over.
"Yuu-nii!"
"Ayumi? What are you doing here?"
"Hakuto-nii said he'd take me to find another brother..." As she spoke, Ayumi noticed Shunsuke standing nearby.
Ayumi couldn't be sure — it was the first time she had seen Shunsuke's face — but somehow, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Long time no see, Ayumi..."
"Long time no see?" Hearing Shunsuke's words, Ayumi looked blankly at Otosaka Yuu beside her, then turned to look at Hakuto behind her.
"You're the other real brother Hakuto-nii was talking about?"
Shunsuke nodded. "I really want to explain it to you now, but let's wait a little. I have something more urgent to do."
Then Shunsuke exchanged a glance with Medoki standing next to him. Medoki understood instantly, walked up to Ayumi, and took her hand.
"Come on, little Ayumi, let's go wait on the other side for a bit."
"Huh?" Ayumi turned to glance back at Hakuto. After seeing him nod, she finally felt reassured enough to leave with Medoki.
Hakuto walked over to Otosaka Yuu and patted him on the shoulder.
"I was going to tell you about it these days, but it looks like someone beat me to it."
"You knew from the beginning that my ability was plunder?"
"I knew from the very start — or rather, Kumagami figured it out early on."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Don't blame me. If I had told you and you got reckless, what then? After all, even if you only possessed someone for five seconds, you could use it to hijack a truck and pick up girls."
"You bastard... No wonder you reacted so strongly when I tried to use my ability on you."
"I was protecting you. If you had stolen my ability, who knows what would've happened?"
To be honest, when Otosaka Yuu first heard that his ability was 'plunder,' he was very shocked.
But after the shock, Kumagami brought him here and revealed even more shocking truths.
"Since everyone's here, I'll explain everything in detail," Shunsuke said as he clapped his hands. Then he turned to Otosaka Yuu and said:
"Yuu, I know you have a lot of questions right now, but you'll understand everything once you hear me out."
"My ability is memory leap — simply put, it's like a form of time reversal. But every time I use it, my eyesight gets worse, until... I ended up like this."
Shunsuke looked a bit lost. After all, anyone who suddenly became blind would feel disoriented.
"How many times have you leapt?"
"I lost count. Probably more than ten times..."
Hakuto paused, then said, "I don't know if it's too late to say this, but... thank you for everything you did for the ability users."
Hakuto truly admired Shunsuke — he could be called a hero without a doubt.
