Episode 4: Love in the Air

➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶


As we walked out of the asylum, I realized that this moment marked a new beginning. Black Flash had opened doors to unprecedented possibilities. And with my friends by my side, I knew we could tackle anything.


As I emerged from the asylum, I spotted Satoru-nii leaning against the wall, his blindfold gleaming in the sunlight. My emotions shifted from excitement to irritation in an instant. I sprinted towards him, fists flying. "Hey, little sister," he said, chuckling, as he raised his hand to block my hits. His Infinity activated, creating a protective barrier around him.


But I was ready. I focused my own Infinity, synchronizing our energies. With a burst of power, I overrode his block, and my fist connected with his chest. Satoru-nii's eyes widened in surprise. "You've gotten stronger."


"You were here the whole time, weren't you?" I accused, my hits continuing. "You handed over the mission to me on purpose!" He nodded, unfazed by my assault. "Guilty as charged."


Then, I dropped the bombshell. "And by the way, I used Black Flash to take down Xarath, the cursed spirit." Satoru-nii's expression transformed from calm to stunned. "Black Flash?!" He grabbed my shoulders, his grip tightening. "How did you...? You're not even 18 yet!"


I glared, still poking him. "Why? You could've taken care of Xarath yourself!" He shrugged, a lazy grin spreading across his face. "I was just too lazy. Besides, I knew you could handle it."


My pokes turned into slaps, though I knew he could block them if he wanted. "That's not fair! You should've told me!" Satoru-nii caught my wrists, his grip gentle. "Forgive me, little sister. I wanted to see if you could unlock Black Flash. And you did."


His apology softened my anger. I pouted, releasing my tension. "Next time, just tell me, okay?" He smiled, ruffling my hair. "Promise."


Yuji, Nobara, and Megumi approached, curious about our exchange. "Everything okay?" Yuji asked. I nodded, stepping back from Satoru-nii. "Yeah, just family stuff."


Satoru-nii chuckled. "Time for a celebration, then. Let's grab some food. I'm buying." His eyes still sparkled with pride and surprise, clearly impressed by my Black Flash achievement.


As we entered the shop, Satoru-nii suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face flushing a deep red. I followed his gaze and smiled knowingly. Utahime was sitting at a table, sipping a cup of tea, her elegant features radiant in the soft light.


Yuji and Nobara rushed towards her, excitedly greeting their teacher. "Taiyara-sensei!" they chimed.


But Satoru-nii remained frozen, his eyes locked onto Utahime with an unmistakable intensity. "Utahime," he said softly, his voice low and smooth.
