Code Name Double-O.
This term held a special significance at Millennium.
A symbol of guaranteed victory, Millennium’s strongest, a specialist in close combat, the unruly maid of C&C, and so on…
Originally, C&C, which should have operated as a secret organization, frequently made a ruckus while concluding cases, and both Leader Neru and the members were known for their aggressive actions. Nevertheless, no one at Millennium denied the fact that Neru was, in name and reality, the strongest.
Thus, the name “Code Name Double-O” became a symbol of both fear and praise for everyone at Millennium.
This was not only applicable within Millennium but also recognized similarly across other academies.
The leading body of Gehenna, the Justice Realization Department of Trinity, and other law enforcement agencies maintaining the order and security of the academies, as well as general delinquents and even small-scale clubs, all acknowledged Neru’s strength to the extent that they hesitated to oppose her.
Certainly, this wasn’t limited to just Neru; inevitably, the strongest in each academy would receive such evaluations. However, Neru’s mere presence solidified Millennium’s status.
In that sense, rumors about me that started at some point like “Little Double-O” or “Successor to Millennium’s Strongest” were unbearably burdensome.
What?
Little Double-O? Successor to Millennium’s Strongest?
There were numerous rumors and titles, but they were all unwelcome. Why? Because…
“Hey! Could that person be the one from the news…”
“Big Sister! I’m your fan!”
“Just one autograph, please! I’m begging you!”
‘Shit.’
It wasn’t the kind of attention I wanted.
This isn’t a hero or anything, it’s just an influencer, isn’t it?
The kind of fame I desired wasn’t this…!!
“Big Sister! Please take one picture with me!”
“Uh, aren’t you in 11th grade?”
“All beautiful people are sisters. Come on, hurry.”
“Uh, yeah…”
It was incomprehensible, but eventually, I had no choice but to cater to their requests one by one.
How am I supposed to refuse…?
It’s really not easy.

[Don’t you guys have stuff like this??]

I took a picture with that famous older sister.
She kept asking me to speak more casually since I’m in the first grade, but…
No way, right? I’ll keep calling her ‘older sister.’ Any pretty girl is ‘older sister,’ okay okay.
There was someone who asked for an autograph, and while they seemed awkward, she handled each request awkwardly and amusingly. She was so cute.
Her appearance seems fierce, but her tone is kind. She gets embarrassed when you get close and acts like a shy younger sister even though she looks like an older sister.
I held back the urge to hug her so much. Today, I learned for the first time that a person’s simple movements can mesmerize people…
Next time, I’ll hug her first without a doubt.
And in reality, she was really pretty.
Even in casual clothing, she radiated a different aura. I genuinely marveled at her.
It’s as if I saw a model from a photo spread wearing our school uniform and walking around. I was utterly surprised.
You should check her out if you get the chance.
Of course, students from other academies probably won’t get the chance, right?

[So, what’s her name? Why does everyone call her ‘older sister’?]
└ [Nanashi Hiiro from Grade 1. She’s supposed to be part of the Special Phenomena Task Force. Her request site has information about her. The reason why everyone calls her ‘older sister’ is just because she’s pretty… okay okay…]
└ [She’s beautiful, but why do they call her ‘older sister’?]
└ [Because she’s pretty.]
└ [If she’s pretty, then ‘older sister’, right?…]
└ [Thinking about it, it makes sense… Hhhheee… Older Sister…]
[She’s genuinely a problem solver; I thought it was just hype. I’m going to submit a request to her house right now. Can’t resist home visits lol]
└ [Oh.]
└ [Are you a genius??]
└ [Are you pursuing a PhD in everything??]

“Ahhh.”
Please, don’t do that.

It’s originally a universal principle that every event has a cause, and every effect has a reason. Hence, the situation we’re facing now must also have a cause.
The rumors, titles related to me, and this current incident.
In the case of the first, I can sort of understand it because of the things I’ve done so far at school, but the latter is different.
Even though Rhino’s appearance was surprising, it’s strange that it led to my popularity.
I knew I had a pretty face, but gaining popularity solely due to that is bizarre.
Even collaborating with C&C should have led to a brief phase of popularity that quickly fades, right?
Thus, as I recall, wasn’t there a movie I saw in Korea where someone unintentionally became famous and lamented about it?
“Why is my business doing so well!!!”
Similarly, requests poured in.
Mostly meaningless ones.
Though occasionally, there were decent-looking requests, but most were jokes or fan-made requests.
On top of that, countless messages of encouragement, requests, and almost begging-like messages sent through personal emails and MoMoTalk.
If you asked if I was annoyed, honestly, I was happy, but my mind couldn’t shake off the thought of “Why is this happening to me?”
Thus, this is strange. I, who grew up without popularity or even relationships with women till the age of twenty on Earth, couldn’t possibly experience such sudden fame!
So, it must be either a supernatural phenomenon or someone’s plot. It had to be.
Upon hearing these stories, Himari paused for a moment and then spoke to me.
“Hiiro. Can I see your phone for a moment?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
Then, after checking something, Himari examined my phone, and within moments, her expression changed.
The sudden fierceness in Himari’s face made me flinch in surprise.
“Se, Senior?”
“It’s true. This is undoubtedly supernatural. Who sent you all these messages without permission? That’s unacceptable. So, let me handle it, Hiiro.”
“… Is that so?”
“Indeed. This must not happen to my Hiiro.”
Though the atmosphere felt cool, I believed the wise Himari would figure out something and left it to her.
When Himari told me to leave for a while, I had no choice but to step out of the office. I thought I saw Amy looking at me like she wanted me to save her, and Himari’s ominous voice saying, “I can’t forgive you,” but I probably imagined it.
…I had to.
Afterward, I fled the office and quickly headed to a location I had planned beforehand.
My goal was C&C. We had discussed coming here frequently even before finishing the request, and there was also an agreement to talk about additional compensation, so I came.
“Knock, knock.”
Gently knocking and opening the door, I found the same neatly organized office as usual.
The arrangement of the furniture and detailed interior design made it truly seem “clean.” Even the papers on the desk were so precisely arranged they gave off a slightly obsessive vibe. The use of air fresheners and diffusers made the area smell sweet, making me realize why this wasn’t just any maid club.
I was absorbed in admiring the office when…
“Hey, Junior, you’re here?”
“Hiiro! You’ve finally come!”
Neru and Asuna greeted me with cleaning supplies in their hands, it seemed they had been cleaning another room.
“Cleaning?”
“Yeah. The warehouse got a bit dirty recently.”
“Does Hiro want to help with the cleaning?”
“Would that be okay?”
Though there was nothing much to do, why not try cleaning?
Akane and Karin hadn’t returned yet, so any deep conversations could wait.
“Yay-! Let’s go play with Asuna after cleaning!”
“Sure.”
When Asuna brightly offered to help, her shining eyes made me feel at ease. Her perpetual cheerfulness relaxed me.
When friends meet, that’s how it should be, especially when one’s feeling uneasy.
Just as Asuna brought me the cleaning supplies, I stopped her.
“Wait a moment.”
Rolling up my sleeves, I pulled a hair tie from the breast pocket and put it between my teeth. Then, holding my hair, I made a ponytail.
‘After doing this repeatedly, I’ve finally gotten used to it.’
It was difficult at first, struggling even to tie my hair, but now I can do it properly.
“All done! Now give me the supplies.”
“Huh! Umm! Here you go! Haha!”
“Why so surprised?”
“Hmm~ I don’t know. Just thinking how pretty Hiro looks.”
“…Really?”
A random compliment made me smile bitterly.
Lately, whether it’s in real life or online, everyone around me keeps saying I’m pretty, making this compliment sound strange.
Of course, it’s a secret that recently, I’ve been checking the mirror more often…
“Thank you.”
Nevertheless, it’s good manners to appreciate a compliment.
Giving a small smile to Asuna, she, for some reason, turned her head slightly and then shouted energetically,
“Alright! Let’s quickly go clean!”
“Sure.”
Answering her, I followed.
“…She has good intentions, but lacks some common sense. Is this even possible?”
Neru was astonished by Hiiro’s unexpected reaction.
As we finished cleaning the warehouse and rested a bit, Karin and Akane returned to the office.

“Wow. The recently famous ‘older sister’ has arrived?”
“Nice to see you, older sister.”
“…Please don’t.”
Though the greeting started as a light joke, it genuinely hurt me.
Why does everyone call me ‘older sister’?
Though, if I include my previous life’s age, it makes sense, but I’m only fifteen. Just a first-year student. I should be the one calling others ‘older sister,’ right?
“Then, would you call me ‘older sister’?”
“Ooh! Me too! I want to be called ‘older sister’ by Hiiro!”
“….”
…But if I ask if I can call someone else ‘older sister,’ that’s a different matter, right?
As I avoided answering while staying silent, Asuna clung to me, acting like a spoiled child.
“Awhyy~!”
“I-I’ll do it later. So, please step back-”
“I want to hear it now. Okay?”
Asuna asked by burying her face in my neck.
My face turned red instantly. Not only was it ticklish with her hair and breath touching me, but also our positions led to our chests accidentally brushing against each other.
Caught in the act, I mumbled something and eventually made a promise to Asuna.
“Is it a promise? Will you call me later?”
“…Y, Yes.”
A promise I wasn’t sure I could keep, saying I’ll call her ‘older sister’ later.
Satisfied with that, Asuna finally let me go, but I was still trapped between her knees.
As if treating me like a plush doll, Asuna hugged me and rested her chin on my shoulder. Feeling uncomfortable, I thought about escaping, but Asuna’s firm grip around my waist made it impossible to move. Thus, the conversation with C&C proceeded with me in that position.
“By the way, Seminar will send additional compensation. This event was unexpected even by Seminar, and especially Hiiro had significant injuries. It seems Seminar will cover all the expenses.”
“Ooh…”
Seminar will cover all the expenses?
That sounds pretty good. But somehow, it seems rather suspicious because of that.
I mean, getting injured during a request is something that happens quite often, but now they’re suddenly showing favoritism towards me by giving all these reasons? Especially when the client was Rio?
Could it be…?
“By any chance, are you trying to recruit me?”
“Hehe. Did you catch my intention?”
“….”
Damn, it’s really true?
“President Rio has been observing Hiiro’s achievements carefully. Although officially joining is impossible due to your current membership in the Special Phenomena Task Force…”
“…?”
“Here, take this.”
With Rio’s words, Akane handed me a card.
Actually, it was closer to an ID.
[Honorary Member Card]
It proved that I was an honorary member of C&C, with Rio himself as the witness.
“…What is this?”
“What do you mean, it’s an honorary member card.”
I know that, but why are you giving this to me?
Giving a quizzical stare at Neru, she smirked and replied.
“It’s a sign that we’d like to keep working with you in the future. Honestly, I think it’s excessive.”
“So, why this extreme approach…!”
“Looks like you’ve caught Rio’s fancy. He even seems to be using loopholes in the school rules to keep you around.”
“….”
“Truly befitting a successor to Millennium’s strongest, huh?”
“Please…!!!”
My outburst elicited laughter from Neru and similar reactions from other members.
However, as the subject of these laughs, I couldn’t join in.
‘Why are you doing this to me! Please leave me alone!’
Because Rio’s actions were not just adding additional burdens to me.
Honestly, becoming an honorary member isn’t bothersome, but having Rio himself actively contacting me is a separate issue altogether.
‘This can’t simply be out of goodwill!’
Naturally, considering Rio’s nature, such an interpretation makes sense.
I couldn’t help but feel heavier.
Of course, when I noticed my wallet had become weightier, my mood lightened a little.
