This was an exceptionally distinctive, pure-white room, and an orange-haired girl was sleeping soundly.
Perhaps ever since entering this organization, the girl had hardly gotten a good night's sleep.
After every job, this was the girl's extremely rare chance to rest.
"Senpai... Senpai..."
Faintly, a series of pleasant, ethereal voices reached the girl's ears.
Although she could not see the speaker, just from the voice alone, one could roughly guess the other person's age.
Feeling the voice calling to her and her body being continuously shaken, the girl's eyelids trembled slightly.

"Five minutes?"

The owner of that voice immediately fell silent, then silently picked up a certain creature.
"Fou! Go!"
"Fou—!"
The instant that voice rang out, accompanied by a smack, the girl felt a heavy blow strike her cheek.
The powerful impact made the girl instinctively raise her right hand, leaving a creature's footprint on her cheek.
"Mash... You don't love me anymore. You actually let Fou step on my face..."
The girl—Fujimaru Ritsuka—wore a mournful expression as she carried Fou in one hand and desperately rubbed against Mash.
"Fou... Fou... Fouu..."
Fou kept struggling, wanting to jump onto Mash, but Ritsuka tossed him aside with a disgusted look.
"Mash is mine! Fou, don't come over!"
Seeing her senpai inexplicably start fighting with Fou, Mash felt rather helpless as well.
Fou and senpai usually got along fine, so why did they always start fighting at times like this? She could not understand it.
"Alright, Senpai, now isn't the time to fool around with Fou, is it? We still need to prepare to tackle the Seventh Singularity. Eating well and sleeping well are
