Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

Satella was also very happy because the mobile wallet had arrived.

"Crackling and popping!"

"Bang! Ouch!"

A few minutes later, Satella looked at the two thugs who had been knocked unconscious on the ground and clapped her hands with great satisfaction.

In the end, they were just two delinquents. Regardless of their abilities, they could never be a match for Satella.

Touma Kamijou's [Signs Perception] grants Satella the power to be absolutely invincible when facing three or fewer enemies.

"I will pray for you, so give me all your possessions now!"

After a few fake prayers with her hands clasped together, Satella happily began to loot the corpse... no, to rob the rich and help the poor!

"Stop! Let them go!"

A righteous and awe-inspiring voice suddenly came from the entrance of the alley. Satella subconsciously looked over and found a brown-haired twin-tailed loli standing there.

Satella, who had seen the anime, recognized the girl immediately.

Shirai Kuroko?

Page 27

wrong!

What's going on with that little Shirai Kuroko who looks exactly like Shirai Kuroko but is clearly much younger?

Could it be that I've traveled to a timeline before the story even begins?

"I am a member of the disciplinary committee."

Shirai Kuroko flashed her armband at Satella and said in an undeniable tone, "I suspect you of robbing someone. Please come with me!"

"Injustice!"

Satella lied without batting an eye, saying, "These two delinquents tried to assault me. I lured them with my valuables and then took the opportunity to knock them down. Now I'm trying to get my valuables back."

"Well……"

After comparing their appearances, Shirai Kuroko chose to believe Satella.

So her tone softened, "But no matter what, you still have to come with me to the branch to make a record, after all, something like this happened... Of course, don't worry, we definitely won't make things difficult for you."

"..."

How could Satella possibly go to the Disciplinary Committee branch with Shirai Kuroko?

She believed that Shirai Kuroko would not make things difficult for her, but once she got there, she would definitely be asked to take notes.

But once it's discovered that she's not a member of Academy City, she's finished!

It's important to know that Academy City is under complete lockdown. To protect its internal secrets, ordinary students need special permission to leave Academy City.

It's easy to imagine the serious consequences she would face if she were discovered.

Even the lightest punishment would result in her being deported, but once deported, she would be unable to fulfill Touma Kamijou's wish!

and so.

Left with no other choice, Satella chose to run!

"stop!"

Shirai Kuroko was taken aback when Satella actually ran away, then she angrily activated her ability and chased after her.

Satella was almost in tears as she watched Shirai Kuroko use [Spatial Teleport] to keep closing the distance between them!

Why did it have to be Shirai Kuroko who appeared of all people?!

"What a misfortune!!!"

Such mournful cries echoed through the alley.

Chapter 17 Satella - Misfortunes Never Come Alone

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Satella leaned against an interior wall of the building, breathing heavily. In front of her was an elevator door, and she was frantically pressing the elevator buttons, making the metal frame of the equipment rattle loudly.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! If you don't hurry, it'll be too late!"

As the elevator descended to the next floor, Satella cried out anxiously in her heart.

Escaping from Shirai Kuroko, who possesses level 4 [Spatial Teleportation], sounds incredible, but it's not entirely impossible.

Shirai Kuroko's maximum movement distance is about 100 meters, and the interval between uses of her ability is one second. This is information that Satella already knew from the original work, and it is also the limitation of the [Spatial Movement] ability.

In addition, all spatial abilities share a common weakness: they are quite inconvenient to use in places where they cannot be seen. If the distance calculation is wrong or an unexpected obstacle appears in the way, the consequences can be very dangerous.

For example, Kihara Ayaki, at level 4, accidentally got her foot stuck in the floor while trying to pass through a wall, which became a lifelong trauma for her.

Taking advantage of Shirai Kuroko's weakness, Satella darted through the complex alleyways, deliberately creating obstacles, and finally managed to hide inside the staff elevator of a building.

After the door was closed, this became a separate space, but at that moment the door was being pounded on from the outside.

"Open the door! Open the door! Don't think I won't know you're in there just because you're hiding inside and not making a sound!"

Shirai Kuroko threatened from outside in her distinctive voice, "If you don't come out now, I'll use my ability to teleport inside!"

“Go ahead and use it if you dare!” Satella retorted without flinching. “I’ve piled up obstacles at the door. If you try to come in using your ability, you’ll get stuck. Imagine your limbs are still there, but your entire chest and stomach are stuck inside a cardboard box!”

"I can use my abilities to move this door!"

"As a member of the disciplinary committee, how dare you damage other people's property?"

"...What good will it do if you run away this time? I've memorized your face, and I'll never forget it!"

"Can I take that as you being jealous of my looks and figure? You flat-chested little girl!"

"Whoa!! You said something you absolutely shouldn't have said!!!"

With a "whoosh," the door that Shirai Kuroko had touched disappeared. Shirai Kuroko vowed that even if she was criticized by her superiors afterward, she would definitely catch that bastard woman who mocked her!

However, when the furious Shirai Kuroko rushed in, she saw the elevator doors closing and slowly ascending.

"Don't think you can escape!"

With a series of flashes, Shirai Kuroko began using her abilities to climb the building, her speed no slower than that of an elevator.

Unless Satella stays in the elevator forever, she will definitely be caught by Shirai Kuroko who is blocking the way outside.

however……

A minute or two later, Satella peeked out from behind a trash can placed in an inconspicuous corner.

Finding herself completely alone and unable to hear any sounds, she guessed that Shirai Kuroko had already run to the 2th or 30th floor. She tiptoed around from behind the trash can, gradually making her way to the door. Then, she suddenly tightened her grip and made a quick escape!

……

……

"Why...why do I, a homebody...have to endure this...this torture of running continuously for half an hour?!"

Panting heavily and letting out intermittent cries of pain, was Satella, who had been running for another half hour after getting rid of Shirai Kuroko.

Page 28

For an ordinary person, running for half an hour might not be a big deal, but for Satella, it was absolutely exhausting.

"I can't go on like this. If I keep running, I'll definitely die. Besides, we've already run this far. That bastard Shirai Kuroko definitely won't be able to catch up, right?"

"Damn you, Shirai Kuroko! I used to like you quite a bit, and you dare to treat me like this... I'm going to seduce your older sister someday, and then play with her right in front of you! I'll make you furious! I'll make you furious!"

Muttering to herself, Satella squatted down against the wall, her arms wrapped around her knees, her chin resting on the back of her hand, looking around at her surroundings with a blank expression.

"Where am I...?"

As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation, none of the bustling activity of Academy City, not a single ghost in sight...

No, there is still one person. About 100 meters away, there is a car repair shop where an uncle is tinkering with a motorcycle.

Apart from that, there was really no sign of human habitation. There was also a wind turbine not far from her.

—It's that big windmill you often see in anime.

There was a notice posted at the bottom of the windmill, and Satella, with her sharp eyes, immediately noticed what it said.

[There have been recent murders; please be careful when passing by.]

Satella: "..."

"Ha...haha..." Satella forced a dry laugh as her lips twitched. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it? This kind of thing can't possibly happen to me, can it?"

"Boom!!!"

The explosion occurred at that moment.

Satella, who had been obediently crouching in the corner and seemingly harmless, was sent flying like a leaf.

"Guwa—"

Satella fell flat on her face.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it, did you hear me?!"

Satella got up from the ground, covered in dust, and shouted loudly, "I was just squatting obediently in the same spot, what did I do to deserve this?"

Just then, a girl who had also been blown away cried out as she got up.

The two girls looked at each other.

After a moment of silence...

"My Queen——?!!"
