"So what you are saying is that you wish to build an information network and spy in elementary school too, right?" - she asked. She is still a bit wary as this is an unprecedented development. Based on what she remembered in the manga, there's no such thing as networking or even active approach by both of them until much later.

But right now, sitting across them, the situation clearly change. To be this proactive... is it because of butterfly effect due to their existence in this timeline?

"Yes, but we know we can't afford to choose just anyone. Hence, why we always walked around the elementary compound to look at the situation and keeping a tab on any strange movement from ESP and such." - Sakurano explained. Then he adds,

"And that's when we saw you the other night during one of our personal rounds. We know you have transferred here as a shield Alice. But to be able to hide under their radar without revealing more of your Alice for almost a year is truly an amazing feat. And also..."

"Yes?" - Amy replied in a curious manner

"You... have younger siblings too. We know how protective you can be when it comes to your siblings - hence the rumour and all"

"Wait, what rumour?" Sakurano throw a glance to Subaru, in which Subaru explains,

"Well, there's a rumour about a loving angel that loves her siblings more than anything, that every time she walked, there's a wing-like image at her back with floating hearts and that she is very protective and..oof!" A pair of hand suddenly covered Subaru's mouth. It was none other than Amy who was so flustered; she just has to stop Subaru from talking.

"Wha..whaat? Th-that's ridiculous! Cringe! Embarrassing! We-we!" she looked at Sakurano who just stifled a burst of laughter, looking at Amy's reaction. She then quickly removed her hand.

"Umm, sorry senpai" she just bowed down, her ears are still red, while silently glared at Sakurano that now, who now laugh out loud.

Meanwhile, Subaru just looked at Amy, his face still lacked any reaction, though there's a glint of amusement in his eyes.

Once Sakurano stop his laughter, in which he earned another glare from Amy, he finally says,

"That's why. We wish to give you protection in exchange, you become our undercover in the elementary division."

"I see.."

"So, are you... Wiling too.."

At this point, while still having doubts and heavily concerned about the butterfly effect, Amy realised that this may be her chance - to actually gain help too. There's just so much that a person can do and it is definitely not enough. Not enough if things were to change so much. With the ESP and god knows what's more.

Afterall, they are trustworthy - based on manga...

She just sighed and held out 3 fingers.

"I can... under 3 conditions. First, in any case of emergency, protect my younger siblings first by teleporting them to anywhere far, hidden and safe."

"That, we can do. No, more like it is something we will do when we decided to involve you in this. You can trust us in this matter" Amy just nods, satisfied. Although she does have a little pang of guilt as she knows it is quite the selfish request - considering as representative themselves - their responsibilities rely on all students and their safety. Not just them.

Even if they are just sugarcoating, for now, she wanted to believe that there will be at least, a guarantee. A guarantee that if things were to become worse, there will still be way out for them.

Now that her heart settles, she proceeds,

"Second, please control any circulation or rumours about me and my siblings - I believe you can ask Hayama-san from newspaper club for assistance. This is an important condition if I want to remain unsuspected for a long time. This also including my true Alice. I can't let anyone else know, yet."

"That is also something we can do. Although the already spread one is a bit hard to stop. But it was quite harmless"

"Yeah, that one is fine. It can't be helped" - though she silently murmurs something about 'embarrassing' and 'why angel..'

"Also, about your true Alice, we can hide it. But could you demonstrate your full extend of it?"

"Well, I already show you one of it"

"Eh?"

"Take a look around. I already put a sound cancelling barrier around us. This is one of the types of barrier I could cast."

"Since when?"

"Oh, since the beginning. Even walls have ears you know"

They just nod. In which I just smile triumphantly,

Hah! Take that for surprising with this sudden confrontation. I can be meticulous when i need to do so too.

"Ok anyway. My last condition: I want your Alice stone."

Sakurano was shocked while Subaru just raised his eyebrows. In which Sakurano quickly comment,

"That is quite a roundabout way to confess..."

At his reply, it was my turn to be confused.

"What? Who on earth wants to confess? I just want the stone to help with few things..

...

Ohh! Do you mean exchanging Alice stone like that love rumour or something? No way. Nu-uh. I don't have even slightest intention at all" she immediately retorts.

There's no way in hell, I'm still a kid, well physically... But no!

"Oh.. haha, you caught us off guard just now. Yeah, that's also fine, we can provide few, right Subaru?"

Subaru just nod.

In which afterwards, we established a few more things before dismissed. That's the day- the day our 3 man-group personal investigations established.

Huu... I only hope this is not a mistake I will regret...
