"…"

The girl remained speechless while keeping her attention turning the pages of the book in her hand.

Then, in the blink of an eye, she instantaneously memorized the characters written on the text and turned to the next page a few seconds later.

The book currently in her possession was a scholarly tome, which roughly summarized the history that lead to the formation of the present world.

It seems that the commodity has originally complied together for studious purposes.

Since the style of the writings was recorded in an approachable format, it was very easy to understand.

However, due to its habit of abridging the characters with simpler phrases, it may take longer to explore the hidden meanings behind the text.

The girl narrowed her gaze while sensing the vibrations pulsating within her eardrum.

Right now, there were several electronic devices such as television sets, radios and cassette recorders lined up around the girl, each conveying its own voice.

Reports. Drama. Live commentary. Music.

Sounds of various forms overlapped in the girl's brain.

"…Fuu."

How many times has this been repeated?

The girl snapped the book closed and let out a gentle sigh.

"...So that's it. I can roughly grasp the language system."

The girl spoke while turning the power off the TV and radio, which was dispersing background noise throughout the vicinity.

"..."

Afterwards, his little sister, Mana, who sitting adjacent from the girl, gave a stunned look to the girl.

"...? What happened?"

"No, even if you ask what happened.""

"Of course, until yesterday that child could only say "ah..." "guu...", but now it's amazing that she can speak so fluently."

As Mana lashed out, Shinji felt a faint drop of sweat fall down his back as he narrowed his brow.

"If there is sufficient information on characters and vocal sounds, it is possible to infer the language system from these common elements. Of course, due to many speculative components, I cannot deny that there will probably also include differences in detail."

"No, from what you're saying, it sounds perfectly fluent."

"Um, why does it sound more authentic Japanese than Mana's?"

"Since Nii-sama could only say "ah..." or "gu..." for a while, it is at least at higher level than Nii-sama."

Mana exposed a kind smile while moving to pick up her bamboo sword bag, he hurriedly moved to stop her.

"Wait, calm down. I like your speech personally as well."

"It's good that you seem to understand."

As Mana let out a sigh while crossing her arms together, the boy gently brushed his hand against his chest to provide some comfort.

"──That's right, we can ask now that you can speak."

"...? What?"

"Who are you? Your power is obviously not normal. According to what Nii- sama said, you were found at the site of that explosion. That wouldn't have been caused by your deed, right?"

Mana questioned while sharpening her gaze.

Nevertheless, that was not spoken without reason.

There had been extensive news coverage about the catastrophic attacks that ravaged the Kanto region yesterday.

It was impossible to not take heed of that when there was a person in front of you that was found at that scene.
