02 : A girl who wants to be her friend
I've been crouching in my bed since this morning. It's been a week since the elaborate suicide using Justice Max failed. In the midst of growing self hate, I was thinking about a new way of being killed. Apparently, I can't do it alone to become an enemy of such a hero. After googled hero works around the world, I decided to become the head of an evil organization.
To start an organization, there must be at least one person who can be called a subordinate. I went out to the city to scout my subordinates. I came to the central square surrounded by roundabouts and remembered a fatal flaw in myself. I'm not good at talking to others. In the first place, there are many people here, but is there anyone who can be a subordinate of a girl aged fifteen? Only office workers taking a break can be found in the square during the daytime on weekdays.
I decided to change the location. I went down the narrow back alley behind the building. There is a sign of someone. When I looked into it gently, a little girl was looking at the stray cat's eating scene from a distance. Apparently younger than me. I'm likely to talk to that child. I can take the initiative when talking to her.
"Hey you."
"Wow!"
Maybe I don't stand out. When I talk from behind, I usually get this kind of reaction.
"What are you doing in a place like this? What about school?"
Actually, I couldn't say that don't you go to school.
"I ... I've run away from home in Munich."
She said she fled her home in Munich by train this morning because she hated her parents' strict education policy. It's okay to come to Valenstein, the end point, but she was in trouble because she had run out of money in her wallet. Her age is eight years old.
"Ah ..."
The girl presented a card handwritten with a pencil saying "Camilla Henkels".
"I have this name. I'll definitely give you back someday, so please help me ... Can you make me a friend?"
When I was looking for a subordinate of an evil organization, a young runaway girl asked me to be her friend. I don't even know what I'm saying. But I don't want to miss a chance.
"That's fine, but I'm an enemy of a ally of justice, right?"
"What? Is that the person who protected the princess?"
I intended to upset her, but on the contrary I was surprised.
"Do you know Justice Max?"
"Yes, because it's also famous in Munich."
"Hmm. Hmm. Do you want to make Justice Max's enemy your friend? Okay?"
Camilla smiled.
"Yes!"
Did this girl really understand?
"... Well, I wish you said that much. I'm Anika Becker. Nice to meet you."
I can't rely on calling her a subordinate, but as she became part of the organization, I immediately tried to lure Justice Max.
Thinking about Camilla after I was killed, I'm going to attack the bakery today. The bakery is privately run and small. I don't want Camilla to die, so I just asked her to be next to me. When I was about to enter the bakery with a knife, a metallic white object fell from above my field of vision.
"What did you come to with your knife? This bakery doesn't sell off in pieces!"
"Justice Max! Why are you here?"
Camila was surprised to see Justice Max for the first time, and I didn't think he was ahead.
"I don't miss the voice of the person who calls Justice Max. I have super ears."
He tapped his left ear with his finger. I said Justice Max!
"Lady, we should retire here ..."
Camila stretches out and listens to me. Certainly, I have to regain my posture now.
"Run away!"
Justice Max didn't chase us. Maybe he just wanted to protect the bakery. At night, I realized we didn't have to run away.
