Facing so many pairs of eyes, Shiho and Akemi both felt a little lost.
"So you're the ones Ren rescued last week."
Just as the sisters were at a loss, a girl with a very distinct aura suddenly skipped over to them.
A person's temperament could be seen in their voice, movements, and expression.
Especially this girl before them, who was exceptionally beautiful. She didn't have an oval face, but rather a slightly round and cute one. Paired with her lively voice, the impression she gave was that of an irresistibly adorable girl.
It felt as though she had grown up in a happy family without any pressure from life. Her whole face exuded innocence, naturally lowering the guard of those around her.
Just as Shiho was thinking this, the girl in front of her curved her lips into a smile.
"Hehe~ Thank you for the compliment."
"I'm not as cute as you think~"
Huh?
Shiho froze for several seconds after hearing this.
"Her name is Fujiwara Chika, a Beyonder of the Spectator pathway. Her abilities include sharp insight and the ability to see through people's hearts, which complements that insight."
As Ren explained, Shiho's mouth twitched slightly. No wonder the girl had thanked her before she even said a word.
"Beyonders of the Spectator pathway are like that. Chika's personality isn't bad. You can rely on her most of the time. Except when playing games, she won't hesitate to use her powers to cheat."
"Using Beyonder abilities… to cheat…"
Shiho was at a loss for words. Using such a special power for cheating? So, she must be very competitive?
"Not competitive! It's making the best use of resources!"
Chika immediately corrected her earnestly.
"Normally, we who are not blessed need to act out our roles and practice in order to familiarize ourselves with our powers. If that's the case, then why shouldn't we use them in situations where they can be applied?"
"…Your explanation makes sense, but Chika, you're just addicted to cheating, aren't you?"
"…"
After Ren's retort, Chika, who had just been speaking with confidence, immediately looked away guiltily.
Sure enough, cheating was the real reason.
Shiho quickly understood. For this girl, cheating was the core. Adapting to her powers was secondary.
"And then, Shiho, you and your sister's new identities were arranged by Chika."
Saying this, Ren took out two folders from the Sefirah Castle and handed them to the Miyano sisters.
They each took a folder and opened them. Inside were two slightly blurry photos clearly of them, but the names beneath were different.
"Haibara Ai and Haibara Airi."
"The younger sister is Ai, the older sister is Airi. These two new identities are different from your past ones, and you'll need to adapt to certain details yourselves."
"Inside are your driver's licenses, passports, health certificates, residence certificates, and individual number cards, all corresponding to these new identities."
"In addition, the background information is complete. Shiho, your profession is listed as a physician, with full qualifications. And Akemi, your profession is listed as a former manager of a talent agency."
The sisters glanced through the documents.
Shiho's records included graduation certificates, degree certificates, residency training certificates, and both qualification and practice licenses as a physician. If she presented this information, she could easily prove she was a licensed doctor and apply for work at a hospital.
Compared to her, Akemi's records were simpler, but they also showed she had worked as a manager for a certain period.
The identities of the two sisters were fully covered from birth to the present, as if they had lived out entire new lives.
The information was detailed, even down to their schools and the graduation certificates for each year.
This identity could withstand any investigation. Their life histories were seamlessly arranged, leaving no flaws to be found.
Of course, only Chika could manage something like this.
Because of her political ties, she still held sway at the highest level of government. For her, arranging two new identities was trivial.
After a quick review, Shiho felt both shocked and pleasantly surprised.
"Lord, this information is incredibly detailed."
"Yes, it must be. You two need permanent new identities. Temporary ones aren't good, and incomplete ones are easy to expose. But with this level of detail, there will be no problems."
In the world of mysticism, there was no concept of a network. Identity issues were rarely a concern. For Beyonders, their power alone often became their identity.
But that logic didn't work in the modern world.
Here, no one's identity could be casually fabricated. For those wanting to disappear and start anew, a believable identity was essential to avoid suspicion.
Understanding this, Akemi immediately bowed deeply to Chika.
"Thank you very much for your help, Miss Fujiwara."
This information was an enormous help to her and her sister. Such carefully arranged identities would make it nearly impossible for anyone to dig up the truth.
It was the greatest support they could receive for living in this country.
Shiho was a little slower, but quickly followed her sister, also expressing gratitude to Chika.
"Oh my~ There's no need to be so formal. On the contrary, Grandpa and Grandfather are even happier to help."
Chika chuckled and shook her head, though as she spoke, she playfully cast a glance at Ren.
This was the kind of support Chika could offer.
Though she personally felt that her grandfather and maternal grandfather didn't need to show off their influence like this, Ren had asked, so of course they would demonstrate their capabilities.
Akemi and Shiho immediately understood. This was indeed the true reason for the help.
