Sulwharan.
A youthful chill in her hands instantly freezes everything around her, and the three swords she wields across the battlefield mercilessly destroy their bodies.
Cold, bloody, and strong...
For this reason, the nickname given to her was the Ice Queen, which was called an object of fear by many heroes.
However, even she, who had always been stubborn, could not relax her tension as she entered the final match against the Association.
After all, what my unit had encountered was a man named Chunma, who was the second-ranked hero in the Hero Association.
"It's a strange fate."
As I remembered that time, the chief patted my forehead and smiled softly.
"The bad ties from the Great War three years ago continue to this day."
"No, I..."
What bad luck! Those words would be appropriate not for me, but for Seol Hwa-ran, who disappeared after the war.
If Cheonma and Seol Hwa-ran were storms, I would just be a piece of stone floating in the middle.
How could a gravel that was simply swept away reveal its presence?
"… …Is it true that Spiritas have the same power as the Heavenly Devil?"
Recalling those memories, the new hero, who seemed immature, feels special.
As if the boss understood my feelings, he spoke to me in a more serious voice.
"If you look at the potential, it would be more than that."
"If more than that… …?"
"Using power is simply inexperienced, and if we put all our energy into it, we will be able to demonstrate even more power than the devil."
More power than a Heavenly Devil?
You mean there's more power than the guy who dominates Seol Hwa-ran in the young girl who just became an adult?
"Yeah, it's probably not the normal way."
I thought it was unbelievable, but the boss shrugged as if he had guessed something and was in trouble.
It was like I remembered when I looked at the amusement park at that time.
"The total amount of superhuman power she possessed is beyond the limit that an ordinary person can accept."
"Does that mean you have the ability to amplify superhuman strength?"
"No, it's impossible to amplify superhuman strength in the first place. If such a thing were possible, it would be nothing more than releasing a large amount of supergravity in an instant."
Oh, yes it was.
Superpowers can be charged or compressed, but their limits are defined for each person.
A concept like C or E is also defined for this reason. Of course, it can increase with practice or time, but wasn't she just an adult?
Even so, if the total amount of superpowers exceeds the standard…
"Perhaps he inherited the superhuman power from that so-called Heavenly Demon. In fact, he also only dealt with 'pure supergravity'."
"Inheriting power, is that possible?"
Certainly, if that's possible, the superhuman's ability can be greatly increased by training the superhuman, transferring it to someone else, and then training them again.
But at least as far as I know, that kind of ability didn't exist.
Superhuman strength is an intrinsic property of an individual, like physical or mental strength, so it's impossible to transfer one's physical strength to someone else, right?
"Gifts are as diverse as the stars in the sky. Sometimes, things can happen that are beyond our common sense."
After saying that, the boss burst out laughing.
If the speculation is true, Spiritas would actually mean "a superhuman outside the norm, with superhuman powers, wielded by a large number of people", but the boss who made the guess showed no caution.
"Is that so? Not only the will, but also the power to be passed on to the next generation..."
On the contrary, she just smiled happily as she realized something new.
As I stared at her blankly, the boss patted my head and continued speaking.
"Brad. That woman is still immature, but after gaining experience, she will be reborn as an existence beyond Justice. And now what she... It's an opportunity to observe from the outside what kind of character he is, what kind of character he has, and what he is seeking."
Yes, such an opportunity certainly rarely arises.
The only place where one can learn information about heroes is in the field.
Other than that, it is often hidden to prevent the enemy from appropriating its power or to promote mysticism for awareness.
The association captures all data, but even that is kept strictly. However, a manager is a being who can watch every move of the person in charge.
So, as the boss said, this is the best opportunity to obtain information.
No, besides, if you seize this opportunity well, you can stab and murder...
"Brad."
...that's it.
Did she realize I was thinking nonsense?
"When you reveal your identity, it's at the decisive moment... you said?"
The boss with wide eyes as if he was testing me.
He turned his head when he felt that his gaze had pointed him in the right direction.
"Don't worry. I won't do anything wrong."
Yes, because I know my strength well.
The fact that Justice was defeated is only the result of stabbing the target with precision using a bomb created by a high-ranking person.
I've never been able to value myself as much as I need to protect the boss.
If it had been a different villain, it could have been. It's just a thought.
"Yeah, you can do it well."
Slowly, the story will end.
It took a while to lift my upper body from my knees, and then to lift my body from the sofa as well.
The boss's head leaned against my lower body, which was about to stand up.
"Boss?"
"Please don't overdo it. You're used to pain, but you're not in good shape..."
A voice much softer than before. With it, the strength in her body diminished, and then her eyes slowly closed.
The only sound coming out of her nose was that of breathing. In that figure, the maturity and gentleness he had seen before had disappeared.
Only the girl who was breathing and sleeping remained.
"... ...Damn, you must be tired."
Isn't it too late to wake up young?
I lifted the boss's body and carried it to the room where Nella slept.
Two girls lying side by side on the same bed.
When they are awake they are so different, but when they are asleep, the two look so alike.
"Have a good night."
After quietly closing the door, I went to the room where my bed was.
No, to be more precise, to the desk next to the bed.
"When you become an S-Class Hero, you will have a routine like this, right?"
Looking at the piles of papers and files on it, I let out a sigh without realizing it.
Damn, it's a temporary job, but you're supporting Pangea's biggest global star.
For now, I fell asleep on time.

In this way... About a week has passed since I took over as manager.
As usual, I started working in the spirit of entertainment and went straight to the dormitory where the hero and idol I was responsible for was staying.
"Kana, I'm here."
Even the title "Kana", which was strange at first, has now become accustomed.
Now, it has reached the level of speaking openly in private places such as the headquarters and dormitories, except in public places.
Of course, even though the distance has shortened so much, there has been no change in supporting her.
"Again, she didn't clean the dormitory again."
A large room for a single person. But the room was too miserable to be messed up by oneself.
The clothes are all disheveled, and bundles of connected TV monitors and game consoles are scattered everywhere.
The French fries and soda on the table mean you threw a party last night.
Damn, if you're an idol, you have to take care of your body like an idol. Even if physical training by superhuman strength becomes second nature, isn't that too much?
Of course, it's the manager's job to create a diet chart for body care, but... ...It's also directly interfered with me once or twice.
'Uncle, I'm going to play games all night, so please make me some snacks in the early hours!'
'Hey, you're going to work tomorrow, you're not planning on playing games and forgetting to sleep, are you?'
'But there's no time for games outside of the night! You became a mother, but you can't cook a single meal!?
'Who's your mother?'
'Ah! You were my father, right? Then, Daddy~ Please give me that rice.'
'No, what…'
'Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, bob, bab, ba, ba, ba, bab, bab!!!'
"… … Ugh, when will you get fed up?"
I adopted a character-based idol concept for a girl, and my mental age regressed like that of a child.
Realizing how mature Nella was, she continued to tidy up the room, but even though she did so much work, she couldn't be considered pathetic.
Last night, didn't I have to read more than the paperwork I saw on the first day?
"… … Do you want to be in the practice room already?"
After tidying up everything, I went to the large practice room located in the agency. It was a place that accommodated dozens of people, but there was only one active person there early in the morning.
A young adult practicing choreography in front of the mirror.
"Wow! Down!"
She takes a deep breath, but with moderation in each action.
Still, she never loses the smile on her face when she looks in the mirror.
Dance is also dance, but that's because there's a personal philosophy to maintaining the shine beyond that.
"Jjalan~★"
The blinking posture she assumes while looking in the mirror is the trademark of a star girl.
After watching the scene from the middle to the end, she confirmed my existence through the mirror and began to look back at me.
"Ah! You came?"
"... You work hard in the morning."
"You have to work hard. Ah, thanks for the water! After all, you have a sense of humor~"
Kana immediately took the bottle of water and towel I brought.
As she wrapped the towel that wiped the sweat from her face and around her neck, her body slowly began to reflect in my eyes.
Tense muscles exposed on her body in light sweatpants.
However, she didn't blindly grow it, but only the parts she needed, so she had a strong feeling of thinness.
There was such a real compression muscle under that puffy dress? In a way, this is heartbreaking.
"Kyaha~!! I think I'll live a little now!"
Afterwards, Kana spat out cold water and uttered splendid achievements.
That voice was as frightening as that of the boys who had finished their exercise.
At first, I was a little awake, but now that I've gotten used to it, I don't care anymore.
What should interest me now is the large amount of papers and booklets on the table in the practice room.
"The representative gave it to me. When my uncle arrived, he told me to take a look and leave."
Aigoo, I stayed up all night checking last night, but there are more appointments coming up.
Isn't that enough to schedule meals, rest, and even bathroom breaks in minutes?
"You have to do all this, you're having a hard time."
Even tired of the plan, where he could sense the madness, Kana's expression, as she had to put everything into practice, was so calm.
"What's the hard part? It's my father's job to fix everything."
"...Who's your father?"
"If you take care of me, you're my father."
Saying this, Kishishi, Kana smiles.
It sounds like a joke, but I don't sense any malice. The state of having nothing to do with her when dealing with her, of course.
"Are you ready?"
"Even if you're not, you should be."
When I asked my question, with the plan in hand, she said, looking at the dress on the hanger in front of me, "Because the fans are waiting."
***
Suzuki Kana.
She was a heroine and the biggest idol to whom all the residents of Pangea paid attention.
Even the streets are filled with merchandise and commercials featuring her character, and the morning news, as well as the various communities on video sites, are enough to reveal Spiritas's name and face wherever she goes.
How many people will gather at the concert of someone with such influence?
"Hello everyone! The girl who came down from the stars to see you~
Spirit… … …."
"""Wow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, IT'S THE SPIRITTTTTTAAAAAAA ah your ah your ah your ah your ah your ah your ah your ah your ah ah your ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh!!!""""
When the crowd gathers with over 50,000 people, the sound of the microphone is muffled, even when people are screaming.
It was a moment when I realized how great her influence was on this continent.
"Wow!"
"I love Spiritas!"
"Spiritas… … . my light! my salt! my love!!"
"Spiritas!! Please marry me!!!"
Even without microphones, the sound reverberates, it's loud.
Even that sissy might pee his pants on this stage.
"Wow, I'm glad you guys love me, but now it's all quiet! If that's the case, you can't fully enjoy my performance, right?"
However, what impressed me most was Kana's attitude.
A pose that includes winking, raising her fingers, and demonstrating aegyo (basically cute gestures for fans)... ...Hey, it's really hard to get used to even looking at this.
Is he really the kidult (acting very childishly) who was begging me for food the day before yesterday?
Considering the lack of a concept, it's comparable to a baby dinosaur that's lived without a mother for 200 million years.
"Well, then, let's begin! Music, start!"
But so what?
Because I really practiced.
- Doo-doo, tak!!
Spiritas dancing along to the band's music.
While the backup dancers, choreographing the routine behind them, heightened the excitement on stage, she put her mouth to the microphone in her hand and began to sing.
