Even though I felt so embarrassed having played like that, I quietly dressed since I couldn't help it. Do I need to wear my hat on, I wonder? Well, despite that, I put on my hat back. After having myself fully dressed, I looked toward where the suit lies. I took the paper, crushed it, and threw it at one corner of the room, as it rolled inside one of the lockers. I brought the case and closely inspect it. While there were clothes protected with an extra layer of plastic glass, I could still see the five holes that could perfectly fit my fingers.

I figured out how it works. If only not for those papers hiding the hole previously, I could have instantly worn it rather than embarrassing myself. But I wonder why they need two separate changing rooms anyway? Well, whatever. Anyway, without much thought, I put my five fingers inside those five small holes. At that moment, I heard the weird computing voice from the suitcase.

[Analyzing the fingerprints... Bzzzzt... Complete... Registering the individual Lillie... Complete... Bzzzzt... Welcome, Lillie... Bzzzzzzzzzztttt...]

That last one was quite long. After it completed saying that, it made no further progress in saying anything. Anyway, living that aside, something more miraculous started to happen. From where I put my finger, a white cloak started to invade my body, hiding me inside of me. It caused me to see nothing but white light so, in order to protect my eyes, even though I doubt it could harm, I closed my eyes. In fact, I regret closing my eyes. Suddenly having my surrounding go from pure white to dark black caused me a headache.

By the time, I was free from a headache and the color return to my eyes, the girl in the mirror had completely changed. I am pretty sure that I redressed myself but the point was, there is no sign of my previous clothes. In fact, all of my clothes changed into what other members of UG were wearing, albeit different colors. Point was, I have turned into one of the power rangers I used to watch during childhood. My large hat disappeared, how did that even happen? Also, there is also no trace of my white one-piece, all I can see is a battle-suit. Did my clothes change from fiber to metal? Such an amazing science fiction.

I rotate left to right while looking at the mirror. No matter how much time passed, I couldn't hide my surprise over my new lookover. I mean I am now on the same getup as other members of UG and though embarrassing as it was, it was amazing. For example, my hat disappeared, and replacing it was three continuous hollows that looks like a magical circle, diagonally standing at the edge of my head. In fact, living the suit color aside, these hallows are the only thing that felt out of place compared to the suits of other members.

Except that, everything looks similar. Like two huge pads around the shoulder that were wired connected to cop around elbow and knees. Protecting the chest was the breastplate. It was a bit bulkier as it also has a support system to help the wearer with respiratory. It protected lots of parts like hands and legs. Also, what was amazing was that the miniature Eiffel tower-like ears, standing diagonally which was actually a cooling system and supporting devices for the suit. Well, it wasn't really an Effiel tower though, I mean what kind of person actually put Eiffel tower as ears. It was just flat mechanical-looking ears.

Leaving all that aside, I wonder if this suit would really be okay? It covered the basics but still, a lot of my skin was begin exposed, okay. For example, wouldn't it be better to have a helmet than a holo? My head is exposed like asking an enemy to hit my head. While it wasn't to the level of female warriors in anime and games where the battle suit = bikini. In fact, the defense power of my regular clothes would be higher than this one. Well, my friends are okay so I would believe that its defense power isn't as weak as it looks.

Ahem, anyway, all worries aside, there is still something that I have to do. In fact, it was as important as breathing for livings. Fufufu...

"I, the Ice Witch, supporting the vigilant eye of the gracious moon, engulfing everyone beneath the blanket of snow..."

The White World - Lillie

Not bad, not bad. Happy over my own amusement, I spun as a giggle escaped my lips. While it was true that wearing something like this was really embarrassing, at the same time it was romance. Alright, I am just shitting right now. But well, I guess I don't hate this as much as I thought. Though if given a chance, I would happily stay at home rather than wearing this.

Anyway, since my work was done here, I decided to head back. I took a deep breath since I need a lot of courage to get off here, wearing something like this. I mean till now, I was alone so it didn't have any impact but... to wear something like this, ahhhhahhh... What should I do? I looked at the mirror one more time, alright this will be my final time. With some cute poses, I made some action. Okay, I don't look so out of the character, at least comparing to Kiawe and Lana anyway. Plus side, I look more like a cold beauty rather than some bubbly girl.

Hmm! But I wonder, is it okay to call myself an Ice witch? I think it would be a lot better if I had received the magic staff rather than a wand. Please dear wand, broke as soon as possible. Ahem, anyway getting my head out of useless thought, I looked toward the table. Eh!? Where there should be a suitcase, there was nothing. Wait, so not only the content inside but the whole suitcase was my ensemble. Well, just an easier life to live.

Without any luggage to carry, I made my way toward where everyone was. It took a while to sort out my thoughts but nonetheless, I made my way toward where everyone was waiting. The moment I entered the room, everyone's eyes fell upon me. Please, don't look at me. I'm going to die from embarrassment. The first thing that happened to me was Mallow and Lana running toward me as they hugged me and rubbed my head; calling me cute and such. Of course, I am happy being praised but if they continue to spoil me, I don't think my poor heart could contain any more. On an unnecessary note, the holo above my head didn't provide any obstruction from my head being pat.

When we were busy idling, the weird-looking man -Looker- clapped his hand twice to get our attention. Of course, it goes without saying that he succeeded in gaining our attention. When we looked at him, he was standing in front of the large projector screen. I need to cease my laughter, I can't laugh. His attribute didn't accommodate the current situation at all. Putting the poker face, we all listened to him. In fact, I could still hear Anabel snickering while trying to hold her chuckle.

Mr. Looker once again clapped his hand while the screen behind him suddenly changed. "Alright, everyone. Since all the members of Ultra Guardians are here, let us proceed to the topic in depth. I would like everyone in the room to have the closer look at the pictures ahead of you." Saying that he moved to the sideway, giving us the full view of the screen. It goes without saying that his silhouette would have hindered the projection if he had stayed. Anyway, as he ordered, we all focused on the slide showing images on the screen.

Without a doubt, it was the latest image of the outskirts of Melemele Island. It had lots of photos taken from different angles, like from ariel, distance, and close-up. Nonetheless, all the views represent the same, the total devastation of the land. Normally, it wouldn't have been that much surprising considering the outside of the veil was the house of many dangerous mutations but even then, this land particularly was even more wasted. Then again, mutants are not intelligent, so some going on a rampage wasn't rare. In that case, such a scene shouldn't have been much impact to gain the attention of the International Police, or even us, Ultra Guardians.

Of course, I wasn't the only one thinking that. Mallow raised her hand, "It sure had been through but the land outside the veil can't be certain. Such a disturbance isn't out of ordinary. I don't know why we have been assembled? In fact, wouldn't those GROUPS run at such a chance?" Oh! as expected of a pro; she sure had a bigger picture than I had. Well, she is a veteran fighter so, no doubt that her knowledge of the aspect would be better than mine.

Now that she mentioned GROUPS, to briefly explain it, it would be equivalent to party members in terms of the game. Or the adventurers if that would suit your taste. Anyway, since I haven't really associated myself with any association, the matter of faulty lies outside my convergence. Someone who doesn't know anything shouldn't speak, so as I was on the same page, I kept quiet and listened to the explanation given by Mr. Looker.

"Yes, Ms. Mallow. I do agree with your point but-," Looker turned the certain image that was taken from the close-up. It didn't look out of the ordinary compared to other pictures except for one thing. It was so hard to notice if not for Looker pointing it out. Its silhouette was blurry, barely covering the bit edge of the image was indeed some sort of creature. I couldn't practically make out what that was. Looker continued, "As you can see, these pictures were taken by the last GROUP that headed out to hunt for the mutant."

From Mr. Looker's explanation, the GROUP called Gunhead headed out for the hunt for the mutant. Even I heard the name of the famous GROUP called Gunhead before. Though they can't be compared to the Ultra Guardians, they are in fact the elite members that are far adapted to the situation. When they heard of the disturbance, they went to check out, of course, if things had gone right they could make tons of profit. But, out of the GROUP of twenty-five people-

-Only one made back, barely alive.
