Hachiku no Ikoi is a weapon trafficking and manufacturing organization whose name was not known until recently, but after it decided to sell a BC weapon called Red Tormentor Kai, it began to attract attention from all over the world.
The manufacture and sale of viral weapons was restricted by international law, but even if the Banara government forces decided to use it, the United Nations and other countries only issued the final secret-"extremely regrettable", and sanctions were imposed. There was no sign of activation.
In this day and age where civil wars and ethnic conflicts are occurring all over the world, international criticism is completely irrelevant. As a result of continuing to use battle creatures, which are biological weapons, in defiance of international law, they were even accepted. Cheap weapons are welcome.
However, even so, Hachiku's Rest was the first arms trafficking organization to sell BC weapons, which cause direct death by airborne infection, on a national basis. Moreover, it has caused a genocide that will go down in history.
"This will undoubtedly lead other arms manufacturers to start weaponizing viruses and bacteria."
Daisuke Kura, the boss of Hachiku's Rest, said while watching the Red Tormentor Kai being produced at the workshop of Hachiku's Rest.
He is in his forties. He has a chiseled face, a solid build, and a thick chest that you can see even over his clothes. He also has broad shoulders.
"But we have to go further than that. After infiltrating the world with weapons of mass destruction, we also have to instill in people's minds that the majors are a place of rest. That's why... Fukuda, what is the development status of New Red?"
Kura called out to a small man in a white coat by his side.
"It's still in the trial and error stage.
Shige Fukuda, the mad scientist who created the Red Tormenter Kai based on the Red Tormenter, answered with an irreverent tone.
"I can understand your desire to expand your business, but that doesn't motivate me. If you want to, you have an obligation to do so, right?"
Kura looked away from Fukuda, who seemed to be sneering. He tries not to take offense at what this man says or does, but there are limits to that. He doesn't want to see him face to face unless it's necessary.
The age appears below the warehouse. Probably late thirties to early forties. He has a narrow forehead, sanpaku eyes, and a half-open mouth, a man who makes you feel sick just by looking at his face.
"Shall we invite you to a beautiful place and sing along? Well, it's true that your research results depend on how far we can extend the power of our organization. Don't hesitate to tell us what you want."
Kura tries to hold back his feelings as much as possible, but Fukuda's arrogant attitude makes him want to be sarcastic.
"I have no interest in women.
"I see. Do you want two dimensions?"
"Fu, don't be silly!"
Seeing Fukuda's utter dismay at what he said as a joke, Kura's drinking level dropped a little.
At that time, the intercom rang.
『Boss, you have arrived.』
The opponent was Kiichi Kakinuma, the organization's number two. The voice that resounds from the speakers is clearly tinged with threat.
"Let through"
In response, Kura leaves the workshop.
"Are you coming too?"
Kura is puzzled when he sees Fukuda following him.
"Well, it's the person who made the original, and it's the same field, so it would be better if I was there. I've seen the real thing several times at the International Mad Scientist Conference, but I haven't talked to it. I don't have one. I'm interested."
Kura was a little surprised that Fukuda got a fairly decent answer. He didn't think the International Conference of Mad Scientists was a thing, and he didn't want to know more.
Kakinuma, a girl in a white coat, and a boy in a school uniform were waiting inside the room. Both of them have very beautiful faces. If it's a couple, it's probably a place like a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
(This is the infamous Junko Yukioka... and Makoto Aizawa?)
Looking up at himself and looking down at the short-haired beautiful girl with her adorable smile, Kura was surprised. I have seen it in pictures, but when I see the real thing, the image is much different.
Junko Yukioka -- Kura has heard a lot about that person. He is a scientist who is said to have numerous patents and a great deal of achievements, as well as scientific and technological capabilities that have advanced several generations. A mad scientist who calmly conducts human experiments and recruits test subjects online. One of the best troublemakers in the back alleys, starting conflicts over trivial matters.
He even created his own brand of weapons and drugs called the Yukioka brand, and has formed a tie-up with the world's largest arms manufacturing and trafficking organization, Pregnant Women's Kitchen Sink.
Kura was nervous about having a major name in the backstreet with various anecdotes and a living legend in front of him.
"This is the storehouse that manages the rest of Hachiku."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Junko Yukioka. As soon as possible, I'd like you to show me the virus that you guys have improved my invention, its manufacturing process and manufacturing data."
As soon as she greeted her, Junko smiled and made a request while her crimson eyes sparkled.
"This is also abrupt, but may I excuse myself for a moment?"
After refusing, Kura beckoned Fukuda and Kakinuma and hurriedly left the room.
"He left as soon as he came in."
"Is there something wrong?"
Makoto and Junko are puzzled. She should have told her the request she just made in advance, but it looked as if Kura and the others were taken aback.
"Do you think there is a possibility that if you refuse to show the data, you will be immediately kicked out?"
Kura asked Fukuda.
"There's a possibility. The person who got offended by her was a belligerent person who would immediately crush her, and we're doing something that's enough to make her look hostile."
Fukuda answered with a wry smile. Kura twisted his head at her words of an act worthy of being viewed as an enemy. As the head of the organization, I had no memory of what it was.
"What's that? Did you do something bad?"
Kura unconsciously let out an intimidating tone. Kakinuma, not Fukuda, was in his line of sight.
"The weapon originally made by Junko Yukioka has been remodeled, borrowed its name, and sold as a product."
Kakinuma's reluctant answer made Kura's complexion change.
"Wait. Before you sell it as a product, of course you got permission from Junko Yukioka, who created the original, right?"
"No... that's... actually... I didn't get permission to use the product name."
Kakinuma's words gradually fade away as Kura stares at him.
"I haven't heard anything like that! What are you doing! If you don't have permission, it's a piggybacking business... No, it's a ripoff!"
Kura raises his voice. I curse his own carelessness that it was a mistake to leave it to this man. He believed that it was what he was doing, of course, and he didn't ask for confirmation, but it was the other party.
At the young age of 21, Kakinuma has been promoted to number two in the organization, and has a lot of achievements to his credit, but he occasionally does big poka. His actions are daring but lack meticulousness. He is a man who moves without thought and who has risen only on the basis of his successful track record.
"Well... it's not that he's offended by that, but he's shown interest, so it's better to show him in order to maintain a friendly relationship, huh?"
"I'm not kidding."
Fukuda displeased Kura's words. He seemed to be dissatisfied with his achievements being seen without permission.
"I'm not joking, that's what I'm saying. You didn't create an original virus. It's just a modified version of what Junko Yukioka made. And yet, you're borrowing that name without permission. Think about how ridiculous this is.
Kura unilaterally severed.
"What about New Red?"
Fukuda asked while gritting his teeth. New Red is a virus that has evolved and improved Red Tormentor Kai, and although it is planned to be a major product in the future, it is currently still in the development stage.
"That's--I can't show it to you."
After answering that, Kura returned to the reception room and bowed his head deeply toward Junko.
"Thank you for waiting. I am very sorry that I was selling it. I will cancel it immediately and change it to a different product name..."
"No, no, it can't be helped if you change your name now, and it's good that it's gone. I won't get mad at you for selling your products because of my brand."
Junko tells Kura, who is apologizing, with a smile on her face. There was no hint of sarcasm or sarcasm in her, so Kura stroked her chest.
"Is it okay if I use this research facility for a while? I would like to do various experiments using your improved virus--because it might be possible to further improve it--"
"sure. Go ahead"
I could clearly hear Fukuda clicking his tongue from the corridor. It seems that he has a fierce rivalry with Junko Yukioka.
"You did something really embarrassing."
After Junko and Makoto moved to the laboratory, Kura caught Kakinuma and started preaching.
"In regards to Tsukinami Mika's attack, your recent oversights are eye-opening."
"No matter how powerful an individual is, there's no way one person can bring down an organization. That's what I thought, so I let my guard down."
Kakinuma shriveled up and apologized.
"However, in fact, they have been obstructed by transactions many times, and one factory has been destroyed. Junko Yukioka's murder doll, a monster that can destroy an organization on its own, is loitering around in the back alleys. there is
The boy who accompanied Junko--Makoto Aizawa was also one of the major names in the back streets that no one knew. Known as "Junko Yukioka's Murder Doll".
The mad scientist Junko Yukioka's exclusive assassin who has defeated everyone who opposes her. It is said that the name "murder doll" came from the fact that she doesn't show her facial expressions in public and looks like a doll.
"In order to limit the damage in the future, I want to definitely crush it. After grasping Tsukinamika's movements, don't hesitate to invest your strength there. I don't mind if you hire someone from the outside."
"got it..."
Kakinuma lowered his head and let out a faint voice, but Kura didn't realize that he was smiling.
