My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—
Chapter 179 First Patrol DoneAira just nodded along, leaving Satoshi in a state of shock. If what Aira said was true, then she could very well be one of the most powerful awakened to ever exist. There's also the question as to why she awakened at such a young age but that's beside the point. Right now, someone who could manipulate time possibly exists, and that powerful superpower is in the hands of a four or five-year-old.
"Look here, Aira," Satoshi suddenly leaned in closer to her, grabbing her by the shoulders as he stared straight into her eyes. He didn't know how to go about what he was going to say but time was of the essence and he had to say it as effectively as possible. He couldn't afford for Aira to just brush off his warning as a mere suggestion.
Aira stared back into her eyes. "Yes, you don't have to say it, big brother," She continued, shaking her head. "Aira turned back time. Aira knows what you're going to say but someone is going to hear it... so you don't have to say it, big brother," She continued.
In a split second, Crispwisp came up to Satoshi and tackled him from the rear. "Satoshi-senpai, how are you doing?" He enthusiastically greeted. "Hello, Aira, are you doing all right?"

Satoshi couldn't understand why she didn't want to reveal her superpower to Crispwisp when he was one of her benefactors. And then Satoshi remembered how Crispwisp handled the reporters earlier. He was as talkative as a parrot, and that won't help when it comes to keeping sensitive secrets. Aira probably sensed it as well so she decided not to tell him.
"In any case, Satoshi, we have to go back to the agency. Eye Goddess is calling us." Crispwisp jerked his thumb backward.
"Sure, just let me talk to her for a bit." Satoshi nodded, forcing a bright smile on his face since some of the reporters were aiming cameras at him. "I'll join you in a second."
"No problemo~" Crispwisp continued.
Once again, Satoshi turned around and gave Aira the stare. "You know what I said, can you promise me that you won't tell anyone even if they tried to force you?"
"Yes,"
"Okay," Satoshi continued, pulling out his phone. "You know how to use a phone, right? I already opened someone's contact there. Once they're done talking to you, you call that number, and then we'll come and pick you up."
"Oum~," Aira said, nodding along.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe report didn't last that long, Eye Goddess just wanted to hear what transpired from Crispwisp and Satoshi's point of view since the reporters didn't give out full details. Even Eye Goddess was impressed as to how Satoshi pulled it off but knowing his superpower, she knew he was capable enough. Until now, Crispwisp still had no idea what Satoshi's superpower was and Satoshi wasn't going to tell him any time sooner since he wasn't asking.
Eye Goddess was especially curious about who the child was and Satoshi gave her her background. She advised that they should just let the authorities handle the rest while the two of them get some rest but Satoshi had other plans. Aira was powerful, and if she could really turn back time, then she was as dangerous as him. If she falls into the wrong hands, something worse might happen to Japan and that won't be the end of it.
That's why he gave his phone to her and opened his dad's contact information. His dad is more than capable enough to help such a powerful awakened. If there's someone who could help her, then his dad more than fits the profile. Satoshi assumed that Aira was fine with it since she didn't reject the idea. She could turn back time, so she might be able to change the past if she didn't want it.
"I guess I should head home now," Satoshi said to himself as he got out of Heimdall Agency. Today was a very eventful day, not to mention it was their first time patrolling. Somehow, he got mixed up in something big once again. He still couldn't believe how attracted trouble was to him.
While walking home, Satoshi dropped by at one of the Mgronalds nearby. There wasn't a long line so his order was given to him in an instant— french fries, a large-sized drink, and two mgburgers. Satoshi couldn't help but feel weirded out by the over-enthusiastic part-time worker by the counter. His name tag had the name 'Mao' written on it and he wondered if it was a Japanese name or not. In any case, the man seemed pretty weird... or maybe he was just trying his best as a part-time worker. 'Maybe' Satoshi said to himself.
Eating the comfort food on the way home, Satoshi tried to think about all his familiars and how they've changed. When he used both Ghast and the Ice Queen during the surprise round-up they did on the criminals, they were a bit worked up, and Satoshi couldn't understand why. Turns out, they were having a hard time controlling the output of their powers. They did get stronger, that's for sure, but control is a different matter altogether. If it weren't for Satoshi's precise instructions and great command in his head, Ghast and Ice Queen would've run amok, instantly ruining their plan of leaving the criminals alive.
Somehow, Satoshi became even more exhausted when he just used two of his familiars in such a short span of time. "I have to get a good overview of what's happening. I guess I should check all of them tonight and then ask Dex for all their details so I would be able to help them with their control. Now that my superpower's toned down a little bit, I should focus on helping my familiars in the meantime." He muttered to himself.
When he got home, he was surprised to see that both his parents and Emma were waiting by the doorstep, fidgeting. They were probably waiting for his return after seeing him on television.
That's when he noticed that Aira was standing with them, probably waiting for him as well.
