Unheard Wishes: A Tale of Desires

"Well, I did what I could and made some money from it. Too bad that I couldn't get the money Metal Knight promised for the Sample. Still, this is enough. I have delayed them enough so the others can swoop in." With a snicker, he sent the file Sitch prepared about Adam and Grayfia to his personal contacts.

Soon he saw notifications of money getting deposited in his bank accounts. He made tons of easy money using the Hero Association and made sure to stab them in the back so they wouldn't get their target to strengthen his control in the organization.

But, neither the Hero Association, McCoy, nor the other organization he sold info to knew that someone else had arrived at Adam's doorstep with a recruitment offer.

A black sedan stopped right in front of Adam's shop as the lanky driver jumped out of the car and opened the backdoor. An elegant figure of a lady stepped out of the backdoor. The black dress clung snugly to her curvaceous figure draped in a snow-white mink coat. She looked ready for business but in style.

Standing in high heels she took the sunglasses from the burly man on the left. Her green eyes looked at the shop in front as she put them on.

"So, this is the place. Let's go, guys, we have to make an impression." She said in a confident tone.

"Yes Fubuki-Sama!!" The burly man followed while keeping an eye around as the lanky guy kept the umbrella above her head.

Being shielded from the sun she arrived at the Shop's entrance. Without a second's hesitation, she pushed the door open and entered.

What came into view was a tranquil shop that had the right temperature to give her comfort.

She looked around the quiet shop, noticing an old man and a child in the far back. But, her eyes searched for her target. Ignoring the customers she turned to the woman in the Maid dress. The second target had arrived.

"Is there anything you'd like to order Miss?" The silver-haired maid asked in a polite and gentle tone.

"Yes," Fubuki smiled taking her glasses off, "Can you bring me the owner of this shop? I believe his name is Adam."

"Master isn't available at the moment. But, may I know the purpose of your visit so I can inform him over the phone?" The woman asked still courteous.

"I have come to propose an important deal with him. If things work out I may even grant him protection under the Blizzard Group." Fubuki oozed with confidence until she saw the red eyes staring back at her.

"Taking Master under your protection? ….You?" Her tone remained polite, but each word had enough power to crush them.

'W-What…?' Fubuki faltered. Such pressure and dominant presence. She had only felt it from one person. Her older Sister, Class S Rank 2 Terrible Tornado!

'You are telling me she is on Nee-sama's level? Why didn't I hear anything about this?!' Unable to understand the situation she tried to move, but her body froze in place.

Right in front of her the red pupils now had slits similar to a snake, and she could feel the cold grasp that squeezed at her body and soul. Although the face in front of her was beautiful, the terror it inspired in her very soul was almost as deadly.

"F-Fubuki-Sama, are you alright?" Watching her stagger the lanky guy supported her before she fell. It surprised him to see her this way, as Fubuki wasn't this careless.

"You! What did you do to Fubuki-Sama?!" The burly man glared at Grayfia who calmly turned to look towards him.

"I did nothing but show her how arrogant her thought was."

"So you did do something!!" The man was ready to attack.

'Stop you idiot! You cannot fight her!' Even while trying Fubuki couldn't speak. But, before things escalated someone stepped in.

"I understand that you are a hot-blooded youngster." An old man with white hair stopped the burly man in his tracks with a single finger, "But, fighting isn't the only way to solve a problem you know?"

'That's Bang Class S, Rank 3!' Fubuki couldn't fathom the presence of such a personality here.

"Yeah, fighting is so boring. I can deal with them all with my sleep gas. They wouldn't even know what hit them." The kid in the back corner said with a snicker.

"That isn't good too, Isamu. You can go around using poison on people like that." Bang chided him.

"But they attacked first, so it is only fitting." Isamu shrugged it off while putting his drones away.

'C-Child Emperor?!' Another Class S hero?' Fubuki wondered, when did it become so easy to find them? But, this wasn't enough.

"What's happening?" A heavy voice came from behind as a loud thump echoed in the shop. Even without looking back, they could tell who arrived.

The three turned their head like an unoiled machine and in front of them stood another legend.

Class S, Rank 7. The unofficial strongest Hero. King stood before their eyes. His face devoid of all emotion as the king's engine roared.

"Is there a fight?" He asked.

"Fubuki-Sama!!!" The two men roared as Fubuki, unable to take the pressure passed out.

Never in her wildest thoughts did she think she'd find Four Class S heroes in one place, not to mention facing their ire at once.

"King, you scared her into fainting. That's nasty." Isamu laughed as Bang helped the two to get Fubuki on the nearby table.

"It isn't my fault." King looked at the burly and lanky men who still shook under his gaze.

"Are you saying that they were too weak? That's hilarious." Isamu was having fun with this.

'I didn't do anything ok!! I just steeled my resolve and came back for some ice cream because my favorite shop in my city shut down. And the first thing I saw when I opened the door was a confrontation with that Maid having this I'll kill you! vibe around her. I was scared too you know?!' King's leg shook below the table as he waited for his order. Once again he regretted his decision to come here.

"Such a ruckus, It sure feels nice." Bang chuckled. He arrived here yesterday after receiving Isamu's letter and took a shine to the place.

It spoke of something that could help with his old injury and ease the strain of his aging body. Curious, Bang came over today right after the shop opened and met Adam. Hearing about the ice cream he was open to trying it, after all, it wouldn't do him any harm.

'I still have it in me, huh.' Surprised at how fast he could move to break that fight up with his current body. Bang clenched his hands and the power within them surprised him.

'I should tell brother about this. Although he is in shape, his body too can get a little more care.' Bang smiled taking a seat. Grayfia brought him some matcha to drink.

He had seen her do the work with diligence no matter who the customer was. It didn't matter if the customers were far weaker and annoying. She had a level of patience that was hard to find in today's youngsters.

'If only that kid could've seen her.' Bang had no idea that Grayfia was over 6 times older than him. But, no one needed to know that.

"She has only fainted from extreme stress, it isn't anything serious." Grayfia checked Fubuki's pulse and temperature before moving back. The two guys still looked on edge about her, but they didn't move because of three Class S Heroes in the shop.

They only hoped for Fubuki to come to her senses soon. Yet, she wasn't moving. Her head lay on the marble table her chin-length hair covered her face. The awkward hair hung around the shop for a while, before the bell chimed.

"What's with the mood?" Adam came in with a bunch of bags in his hands.
