Chapter 350 – Windy Joins!

I stауеd оvеrnight аt the Guardiаns’ bаsе.

Тhеy actuаllу have rеgular guest ассоmmоdаtions!

Mоst of the intеriоr of thе сliff hаd bееn hollоwed оut and turned intо а sесret basе.

It loоked like the kind оf bаse you’d seе in suрerhero or robоt shоws.

Really tickles а guу’s heart~.

“Аh, privаtе rооms! That’s a reliеf.”

『Since Littlе Sрiсe loоks likе а girl, I thought theу might put us all tоgether in the samе rоom.』

“Yeаh, уeаh, when we wеnt to Graz, Austriа, I had tо shаre a room with Windy tоo.”

『Yоu mаnаged tо avoid аnу misundеrstandings, imprеssive.』

“I wаs аlwауs in mу little girl оr fеmаle fоrm! I’m nоt undoing my transformation while I’m in America.”

And with that exchange with Beelzebub, the day was over!

Dinner was some fancy hamburgers, pizza, tacos, and fries.

Everyone was eating junk food!

Or rather, they don’t seem to have that strong of a fixation on food.

They seem satisfied with standard meals and drinks like beer or cola.

Huh, Häagen-Dazs for dessert!?

Whoa, the taste is different from Häagen-Dazs in Japan.

『I’m glad our guests seem to be enjoying themselves.』

『So, you eat normally too, huh, Mecha?』

『I am an existence connected to you at a deep level, operating by drawing power from the Cardinal Sin of Gluttony as its source. I must consume twelve thousand kilocalories a day to function.』

“You eat a ton~!!”

As Spice expressed his surprise, the Guardians all went HAHAHAHAHA with laughter.

They all have their private lives, but since hero work is their main profession, they apparently come here to work or stay over.

Basically, they all have their current residences on the West Coast.

It was fun hearing about life in California lately and what everyone’s into.

Apparently, the Guardians make a point of watching American football and baseball equally, saying it balances out left and right biases.

What a country that requires such peculiar consideration!

The next day.

I took a shower, put on the provided Guardians costume, and heartily ate the cornflakes with milk they served for breakfast.

Putting jam on oatmeal or something is a bit…!!

『It looks like a colored version of me.』

『Well, the design is the same.』

Mecha Hazuki and Beelzebub in her Guardians costume were pointing at each other and saying something.

So, during my stay in America, as a guest member of the Guardians, I’d be tagging along for various activities.

Today, I’m on patrol with Mikey.

He’s letting me ride in the car he’s driving.

“Looking forward to working with you, Spice! To think a little girl like you is a hero from Japan. No, a Little Witch! That’s awesome!”

“Thank you! Also, I think my friends are arriving on today’s flight.”

“Ah, they’re coming from Kansas, right? So there are Little Witches over there too.”

Mikey puts on some American pop music.

A former Olympian with excellent physical abilities.

Brimming with a sense of justice, when the call went out “Guardians forming! Recruiting members!”, he was apparently the first to apply.

He has name recognition and confidence in his own abilities.

With his illustrious career, he splendidly passed the Guardians’ selection!

Then he found himself surrounded by monsters!!

But!

Being just an ordinary human, he never breaks, never gets discouraged, never gives up.

He had a suit developed that triples the wearer’s physical abilities and has been active wearing it.

This suit places a great burden on the body in exchange for drawing out the wearer’s capabilities.

It’s something only Mikey, who constantly trains his body, can handle.

A stoic man, contrary to his cheerful appearance!

…That’s the story I heard partway through.

It would’ve been better if it didn’t sound so much like bragging!

We arrived at the airport.

Mikey and Spice get attention as they get out of the car.

“Look, it’s Mikey from the Guardians!” “He’s so cool!” “Not just the glory of an Olympic bronze medalist, but standing up to protect citizens too.”

Mikey is pretty popular!?

“There’s a tiny kid next to him!” “So cute! Is she a new recruit for the Guardians?”

Guest member!

『Master, we should take a picture of you like this for a memento and post it on Tsubuyakix.』

“Flota, good idea. Floppy, if you would—!”

『Yes, understood. Here we go. Say cheese.』

Floppy said “cheese” with authentic pronunciation.

Both Spice and Mikey smiled and made peace signs.

When we posted this photo, reactions came flooding in.

『Little Spice became a hero!!』 『New costume!?』 『Little Spice in a form-fitting suit, I approve!!』

Well, I’ll go back to my usual Spice when using my abilities!

『As expected of the Meat Brigade, I must say. And a favorable reaction.』

『You can modify my costume freely, so why not try this next time? I like flashy suits that give off that justice~!! vibe!』

“Sounds good! Then this will be Action Spice’s next form!”

After that, we just need to get permission…

And around that time, the plane landed!

Windy and Kushi make their appearance!

“Spice~!! Snow White!”

“Windy!”

『Long time no see, Windy!! Have you been well!?』

Snow White also rushed out and plastered herself onto Windy’s face.

“Moo, Snow White, calm down!”

“Yo. Little Spice, and you must be the famous Mikey. I’m Kushi. Nice to meet you—”

The languid Cardinal Sin of Lust, Kushi.

“Nice to meet you both! Man, I’m surprised. Two such beautiful ladies coming all this way! Spice, your circle of friends is amazing! Could you introduce them to me too?”

“They’re both minors, so I think that’s still a bit off-limits—”

“Ouch! That’s no good. Let’s pretend I never said that!”

The Guardians are quite strict compliance-wise too!
