Something abnormal

"Don't let it get to your head." Shin looked away. "You still haven't entered any official tournaments. Until you do, these words are empty."

Sumire sighed at his words. 'This man knows how to ruin the moment. No wonder I don't see any girls around him.' Still, it would have taken a lot to persuade Mamoru to put her in harm's way. Ru didn't treat her like glass and included her in dangerous jobs before. But if it became too dangerous, he wouldn't allow her.

"I don't have any memories before I was six years old. Ru knew about this and said he would help me." Sumire mumbled. She laughed awkwardly. "I know it's strange saying this now, but I figured if I helped you - you would need this information."

She mentioned it casually, but Sumire saw Shin flinch.

"Shin? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Alright, let me give you some more details on this case. Sumire, do you believe in supernatural powers?"

She blinked when she heard those words. "Uh?"
