This woman’s name is Izumi Miyu, and she is the Second Strongest Believer in the world. She has a pair of red eyes with light, pale brown, long, straight hair that reaches her back. Her hair also turns wavy near the end of each hair strand. She has parted bangs, showing off her beautiful forehead. She wears a red short-sleeved shirt, layered by a light brown long-sleeved trench coat that reaches her upper thighs with black trims on the bottom and black trims on its wrists, left unbuttoned, with her long sleeves folded back into her upper arms, with a pair of black female long jeans that cover down to her ankles, a pair of white socks and a pair of black and light brown female ankle boots with laces. She is 170cm tall and weighs around 65kg. Her bust size is D-cup.
“. . .”
Miyu is currently sitting all alone inside the special meeting room.
This meeting room is surrounded by one-way glass walls all around it, where people cannot see the inside, but everyone inside can see the outside. There is a long meeting table in the middle of the room that can fit exactly ten people. In front of the long table, there is a big white board and a TV above it, mounted on an iron claw so that it can be raised and lowered in elevation to anyone’s liking. The floor is covered by a dark green carpet, the walls are glass, and the ceilings are painted white, with several lights above. Each of the seats is numbered with number one to ten, with one and ten at both ends of the shorter side of the long table. Though the number one seat has been swapped with the number two seat for easier meeting purposes since Miyu, the Second Strongest Believer in the world, is the one in charge. This is due to the fact that Martin, the First Strongest Believer in the world, has never visited this place, nor did he ever try to connect with the rest of the Ten Commandments of God.
Miyu is sitting in her seat, just staring blankly towards the ceiling while leaning her back on the chair.
“They’re not here yet. I am so bored. . .”
Miyu stands up and walks towards the elevator. She presses the tenth-floor button and goes up.
“(Someone’s in the lounge.)”
*TING TING*
The elevator door opens, and she walks out of it. She walks towards the dining table and sees one person currently eating a bowl of cereal and milk.
“Ro-chan, when did you wake up?”
“Miyu-chan, with your power, you should’ve known!”
“Just because I can read and scan everyone’s minds in this entire building does not mean that I cannot start a conversation, Ro-chan. . .”
“Right, sorry.”
This man is Rowki Zeroth, and he is 25 years old with fair skin. He has spiky dark orange short hair that waves from left to right. His bangs are swept to the right, held by a pair of golden hairpins. He has a pair of light lime green eyes. He wears a white shirt with a black long tie layered by a long-sleeved black suit with dark orange trims on its wrists, a golden belt with checkered patterns of gold and dark orange, a pair of long black trousers with dark orange trims on the bottom with a golden chain hanging between his belt to his right pocket, a pair of white socks and a pair of white leather shoes. Every piece of clothing on his body is of the highest quality, highly expensive, and globally known branded goods. He is 166cm tall and weighs around 50kg. His body is very slim and thin.
He is the Tenth Strongest Believer in the world. He has an Elemental type Gold Faith power, and unlike anyone else in the group, he couldn’t single-handedly destroy human civilization with his output, at least physically, instead, his Gold faith power has the potential to send the entire world’s economy to a brink of destruction if he were to abuse it, though he is currently matured enough to never have the thought towards that. He was born into a very poor family, but once his Faith power awakened, he conquered poverty with it and saved his family.
*!*
Miyu sees that there are gold flakes inside the bowl of cereal and milk that he is eating.
“Are those made with your Faith power or. . .?”
“Miyu-chan, we can’t eat our own Faith power. . .” answered Rowki, a bit annoyed.
“R-Right. . .”
Miyu sits down next to him at the dining table.
“Can I try a bite?”
“Sure! Aaaaaa!”
Miyu opens her mouth, Rowki scoops up a spoon of his cereal, complete with some bits of the golden flakes, and he spoon-feeds Miyu directly into her mouth.
*Crunch crunch*
“So?”
“Mmmhh!! This is amazing!! Is this the so-called edible gold?”
“Yeah! It’s a personal favourite food of mine! I am glad you like it too!”
“How much does this cost, by the way?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Eh? Around 40 US Dollars for ten of them? Hmm, I kinda expected more to be honest.”
“*Sigh* Talking to someone who can read my mind is so annoying sometimes. Thankfully, I’ve gotten used to it.”
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
“Eh? Don’t say that, Ro-chan! Speaking of which, you’ve seen where the others went?”
“Can’t you just read their minds? Didn’t you say that all of us except Martin and the Queen of Time are connected all the time by an invisible ‘thread’ that you put on us?”
“As I said, that doesn’t mean I am not allowed to have a conversation, right?” said Miyu while puckering her mouth.
“Anyway, I’m gonna finish my breakfast and take a swim in the pool.”
“Can I join you?”
“Sure, sure!”
Afterwards, they went to their own rooms and changed into their swimsuits, and went to the pool together.
Rowki is wearing black swimming trunks with a golden dragon knitted vertically on both sides. Miyu is wearing a red and black one-piece swimsuit where the belly is exposed.
“Ro-chan, let’s do some warm-ups first!!”
“Alright.”
They do warm-up exercises together for five minutes.
“ALRIGHT, LET’S JUMP!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
*SPLASH SPLASH*
Both of them dive into the pool together, Miyu with her excitement, while Rowki just normally dives with a neutral expression.
*SPLASH SPLASH*
“PUAH!! MORNING SWIM FEELS SO GOOD!!” shouts Miyu as soon as she resurfaces.
Rowki continues to hold his breath to swim all the way to the other side in freestyle.
“Puah!”
He looks behind to see how far he swims.
“Good! I’ve improved! Gotta stay on this track!!” said Rowki, motivating himself.
Miyu quickly swims towards him and reaches her pretty fast.
“PUAH!! Doesn’t this feel good, Ro-chan?!”
“Obviously! I’ve been swimming consistently every day since we all moved here from day one.”
“Ahahahah! That’s right! You’ve been doing it every day, it has become a background noise in my mind that I never pay attention to!”
“That’s an incredibly rude thing to say so casually, Miyu-chan. . .”
“Ah! I’m sorry, Ro-chan! Let’s keep swimming until everyone shows up!”
“That’s the plan!”
*SPLASH SPLASH*
They both keep swimming and enjoying their leisure time.
.

Two hours later
In the special meeting room, Miyu has seated herself back in the number two seat yet again, though this time, her seat is facing away from the long table to the left.
She has finished swimming a while back and is wearing her normal attire. She’s sitting on the chair, with her arms crossed, with one leg folded over the other, while having an annoyed expression on her face.
“So?! Care to explain yourselves?”
In front of her are three members of the Ten Commandments of God, all kneeling on the floor with their heads down, with scared expressions on their faces. They are Claudia Clay, the 9th Strongest Believer, Sierra Pendrago, the 8th Strongest Believer, and Lukia Prichyllia, the 7th Strongest Believer.
. . . . .
Not a single one of them utters anything for a few times. This makes Miyu even more furious than she already is.
*BAM*
“AT LEAST SAY SOMETHING YOU THREE!!!” shouts Miyu as she slams the armrest of her chair with her fist.
“HIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
Both Lukia and Claudia shrieked in harmony because of how startled they were; Sierra was the only one who wasn’t startled. But they all start sweating across their faces.
*SIGH*
Miyu lets out a big sigh.
“Claudia-chan.”
*!!!*
Claudia clamps up when Miyu utters her name.
“Please explain yourself, why did you create a magma ball HALF THE SIZE OF THE FUCKING MOON?! ARE YOU INSANE, CLAUDIA-CHAN? YOU NEVER EVER DID THAT?! WHAT ON EARTH MAKES YOU THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA?! YOU COULD’VE EXPLODED THIS FUCKING PLANET AND KILLED EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET!! EXPLAIN TO ME, CLAUDIA-CHAN!!”
Miyu was speaking in her normal tone, but quickly raised her tone as she kept talking, and her anger rose.
“. . .”
“CLAUDIA-CHAN?!”
Claudia’s eyes immediately teared up a bit before she finally gave in to the emotion in her heart.
“HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I’M SORRY MIYU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!! HUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
“Urkh. . .”
Miyu made an annoyed expression, seeing that she started crying.
“So, how the hell can the attack on that scale of yours even be neutralized? What happened?”
“*sobs sobs* Truthfully, I don’t really know what happened. When I blinked, all of a sudden, my gigantic magma ball turned into snow, and the girl that I was fighting suddenly appeared in front of me, already stabbing the Source on my chest with her ice katana. And then she froze me. . .”
“. . .”
*SIGH*
Miyu lets out a sigh, and now she shifts her attention towards Lukia.
*!!!*
Lukia felt shivers as soon as she realized that she was next in line. She immediately bows down and places her head on the carpet below, with her forehead touching it.
“I APOLOGIZE, MIYU-CHAN!! I AM SORRY!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! PLEASE DON’T PUNISH ME!! HUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
She was genuinely apologizing, but she ended up crying because of how scared she was of Miyu.
“LUKIA-CHAN!! EXPLAIN TO ME, WHAT GOOD DID IT DO TO CREATE A BALL OF WATER FIVE FUCKING KILOMETERS IN DIAMETER ABOVE JAKARTA CITY? A GIGANTIC CAPITAL CITY OF INDONESIA THAT HAS MORE THAN 10 MILLION FUCKING PEOPLE WHO LIVES THERE?! HUUUUUUUUHHHHH?? EXPLAIN TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!” shouts Miyu in anger as she closes her face towards Lukia’s.
“HUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I’M SORRY, MIYU-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!”
“. . .”
Miyu is looking at her crying face with an annoyed expression.
“I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED EITHER!! WHEN I WAS FIGHTING THAT LITTLE GIRL, I SUDDENLY FELT CHILLS IN MY BONES!! I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO USE BRUTE FORCE TO OVERCOME THAT FEAR FOR SOME REASON!! I’M SOWWWWYYYYYYY!!! HUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!”
Lukia continues to cry after she explains herself.
*SIGH*
Miyu lets out a big sigh once again. She now turns towards Sierra, who’s kneeling in the middle. Sierra felt scared as well, yet she didn’t really show it on her face because of her dead neutral facial expression.
“Sierra Pendrago. . .”
This time, Miyu didn’t scream at her.
“Can you explain to me why you just closed your eyes when your life was in danger?” asks Miyu, referring to the time when Mari almost sliced her neck off with the giant scythe.
“I apologize, Miyu-chan. That was just me, thinking that I’ll finally be free of what’s been eating me this entire time. I should’ve been more open to you or to Lu-chan. I apologize for always keeping stuff from any of you.” explains Sierra.
“. . .”
Miyu has no response to what Sierra said; instead, she stands up and walks closer towards her.
*!!*
The other two, Lukia and Claudia, were scared even more when they saw how close she stood to them. Miyu suddenly crouches and hugs Sierra.
*!!!*
Miyu also shed tears when she hugged Sierra.
“*sobs* Stupid! We all care about you! We’re all family here! Please never keep anything from us ever again, you dummy! *sobs*”
“. . .”
Sierra was also surprised, but as usual, her face didn’t show it. She was touched by Miyu’s hug, so she hugged her back in response.
“Thank you, Miyu-chan.”
Izumi Miyu’s Faith power allows her to read everyone’s minds even on a global scale, though she has to focus herself in order to achieve that feat. Truthfully, from the start, she has already known the truth by reading what’s on their minds this whole time. She simply wants honesty from her peers because she treats the entire members of the Ten Commandments of God as her own family, except Martin.
She lets go of her hug and stands up.
“Alright, all three of you. We’ll continue this later! We have a meeting in an hour or at least until Lucas is back from his mission, so go take a break in the meantime! You are all dismissed!”
*!*
Lukia and Claudia stood up quickly and gave Miyu a salute.
“YES, MA’AM!!”
Sierra also stands up more slowly and gives a salute to Miyu as well.
“Yes, Ma’am.”
The three of them left the meeting room together.
