For a while after Makoto left, Mika was investigating the workshop. Takahiko finished his treatment and took a break. Yumio was browsing the net to kill time.
"So Tsukina-san also possessed supernatural powers.
Closing the holographic display projected from her mobile phone, Yumio called out to Mika.
"That's not true! This is a beginner level of fate manipulation, paying for bad luck later! It's not a complete evasion!"
"Well, I'm going to pay for my bad luck later, so I'm going to die in the end..."
Hearing Mika's words, Takahiko frowns in disgust.
"No! Whether it avoids a fatal misfortune or a minor misfortune, the misfortune that pays is not a big deal! That's the good thing about this ability! It's dangerous if you use it continuously!"
"But manipulating luck is an amazing power."
"When I think I can make a lot of money from gambling, I think about how to use it."
"i got you!"
While touching her hand facing the wall, Mika let out a sharper voice than usual.
The wall that Mika was touching opens with a sound, revealing a hidden passageway.
"Is that what you mean by going out of your way to open a hidden door?
"Let's go too. There's probably something you're expecting."
Yumio and Takahiko also entered the hidden passage.
"Wow, this is terrible. Yeah, it's terrible. It's really bad. It's really bad. Yes."
The bow man frowned when he immediately went to another room and saw the scene there.
What was found there were the traces of people who had been bought through human trafficking and used them for human experimentation with the virus. After all, he took the trouble to make a formalin-soaked specimen, and he displayed the result with both hands, so you can tell at a glance.
(I suppressed the evidence I was looking for. With this, I can crush the rest of the broken bamboo without worrying about it.)
Mika muttered silently.
"I don't know what to say, it's a scene where it's okay to burn with anger on the side of justice, but in reality it's not like that. There is myself who is confused."
A bow man with a cold tone.
"I feel the same way. It's dirty, we. Or maybe it's because we've seen too much terrible things.So, what do you think, Mika-chan, who is still in her teens and is at a delicious age?"
Mika shook her head as Takahiko spoke in a teasing tone.
"I'm not impressed, and I feel pure anger… but I might be cold to a large extent. I guess
"Well, I guess that's what it is. Well, anyway, let's act separately when we leave here. Or rather, let's stop fighting together."
"Why?!"
Mika was confused by Yumio's sudden declaration of the end of the joint fight and raised her voice.
"Why, that's my line. You, why didn't you shoot that child at that time? He was showing you an opening. But you were clearly hesitant to shoot him. That child. Are you hanging out with me, or is there another reason? Well, either way, if you show me something like that, we can't fight together.You understand, right?"
Yumio's face was as peaceful as ever, but there was a cold light in his eyes behind his glasses. Mika sees it and feels herself under pressure. No matter how you look at it, this friendly looking man is once again strongly conscious of the fact that he is a veteran warrior who has traveled through countless battlefields.
"Isn't that the development of your ex-boyfriend? You were looking at him with a passionate gaze."
"Takahiko is just that kind of sharp eye.
Yumio looks at Takahiko, half in admiration and half in amazement. Takahiko puts his hands behind his head and grins.
"It's just a one-sided love... A long time ago, I confessed and was easily dumped."
Saying this, Mika took a magic pen that was close to her, put her index finger to her mouth, and began to write towards the wall.
"He's not your enemy. I plan to become an ally. This is all I can say for now. There are various circumstances, but I want you to understand.』
Looking at the writing on the wall, Yumio and Takahiko wink at Mika and decide to match her tone.
"I understand the reason, but even if it's someone you love unrequitedly, you're still killing each other, and if you cut corners, you'll hurt yourself."
Takahiko said this with a straight face, but Yumio didn't miss the smile in his eyes.
"I won't cut corners this time! I swear! If you feel that I'm cutting corners, I don't mind if you kill me!"
"It's such a waste to kill you! Before that happens, you want to do a lot of things!"
"Sexual harassment again! But that doesn't matter!"
At Mika's unexpected words, Takahiko was at a loss for words and turned to Yumio.
"Is that level of sexual harassment? I don't understand. So, what should I do? Bow man."
"Well, trust me for once."
Yumio's words weren't meant to match Mika's. It became clear that Mika was hiding something. With the nuance of believing in Mika's words, that even if she hides it, it won't be inconvenient for us.
There are a lot of so-called mad scientists in the back alleys. However, most of them are unknown and employed by criminal organizations. There are only a handful of well-known people who can eat for free.
Fukuda Shige is also just listed in the community of mad scientists, so it's hard to say that the name has a foil.
A famous mad scientist who suddenly appeared in front of him because he had the ambition to eventually achieve a number of great achievements and become a famous scientist――his knowledge and skills clearly surpassed the common sense of modern science. I was madly jealous and envious of this girl who had
The person in question went in and out of the lab while living in the home base of Hachiku's rest, and was completely open with the chemistry team. On the surface, Fukuda also suppressed his jealousy and hostility, and treated Junko with the usual irreverent attitude, but as he went out with Junko for a while, his hostility gradually faded.
"I'm absolutely against animal testing. It's not a good thing to do animal testing for human convenience or ego. Even if you don't like animals, you can't say you don't like it. I think it's very cruel and wrong to kill in the name of the development of
At that time, all the other researchers happened to be working, so Fukuda and Junko were having a conversation alone.
"Even so, the idea of only conducting human experiments without conducting animal experiments at all is insanity in the eyes of the general public's sense of values."
While being jealous, Fukuda is also fascinated by Junko's way of thinking, and ends up talking seriously.
"Since it's for the development of science for mankind, it makes perfect sense to use the same humans for experiments, right? It's not enough at all, and I can't get the data I want."
"Shouldn't it be better to get through a human trafficking organization as soon as possible and purchase a 'log'?"
"That goes against my aesthetics, too. It's my rule that only those who have come to want it themselves or those who are hostile to me will be subject to experiments. That's why I I welcome the appearance of someone who will become my enemy."
Even Fukuda understood that Junko was sincere, not sarcasm. It's a well-known story in the back alleys that she immediately provokes conflicts, captures opponents, and uses them as materials for human experiments.
"Hmm, if that's the case. If that rule goes wrong, you'll get even more achievements and achievements. From my point of view, it's a stupid choice."
Fukuda happily sipped kobucha after finding a point to ridicule.
"What do you think? A clever way of life that always seeks efficiency, or a policy that only seeks results without choosing any means, doesn't suit me. It's better for me to have fun while moving forward.And thanks to those restrictions, I can concentrate very much and sometimes I can produce good results in return. That's why you can make unexpected discoveries.Besides, when you're able to achieve your goals even after sticking to a difficult path, the joy of accomplishment is a special taste."
However, Junko's words stuck in Fukuda's heart. An unexpected idea.
It's easy to deny it verbally, but I can't deny it emotionally or realistically. In fact, Junko has many achievements and has produced countless results. Fukuda himself admits that Junko has a point.
"Gununu... It's a clichéd expression, but it's just the scales from my eyes... No, I'm not being sarcasm, I'm serious. think"
"That's true. Over the past few decades, in reaction to the rapid deterioration of the global environment, the idea that the development of scientific civilization itself is bad is the idea that 'Grim Penis' is sung in response to the excessive ecology boom. However, it has completely permeated the international public opinion.
"Oh, that's really disgusting. Shit, Grimpenis."
Fukuda spit it out in disgust. In this 21st century, the world's most famous and huge environmental protection group and animal protection group "Grimpenis" has created a climate that makes scientific civilization itself an enemy and the development of science is bad. Because it has been tucked away, it is hated by scientists like a snake scorpion.
Fukuda believes that the development of scientific civilization is the most fruitful for humankind. She was happy that this girl had the same idea as me, who had fallen into the back alleys in despair at the current situation where she could not do anything she wanted to do because she was only regulated in the name of environmental protection.
"By the way, what do you think of Red Tormentor Kai, which is based on Red Tormenter? I would love to hear your impressions as someone who made the original."
I decided to ask the question that was most worrisome, but difficult to ask.
"Hmm, to be honest, it's not good enough."
Fukuda was appalled at Junko's blunt remarks.
"Where is it? I'd like to hear more about it."
Fukuda was bluntly denied and asked questions.
"If you put your heart into it, you can endure this itch, and the trick is to give the infected person memories as jokes, so it's not funny at all to just kill them."
"What are you talking about? Since it's going to be used as a weapon, it would be quicker to kill it. In general, it's possible that the neutralized soldier will be killed as it is."
"It's easy to kill infected people. Rather, it's more difficult not to kill them. First, come on, other than the strength of power, there aren't that many differences from existing weapons."
Fukuda was shocked when he was told that it would be easier, even though he had worked very hard to create a powerful killing power. I also admire Junko's many ideas. I still can't get rid of her jealousy, but I have to admit it. She no, she's jealous because she admits it.
"I'm home"
Makoto entered the lab.
"Welcome back. I saw the video you sent me, but hmm... I guess it didn't feel right. Maybe it's because you weren't serious about it, and it seems like they aren't serious either. Next time will be more Will you be able to hunt me down properly?"
"If you were watching, you know that I was about to be killed by these guys, right?"
Makoto looked at Fukuda.
"What do you mean? We tried to kill you? Such an idiot..."
Fukuda's dismayed at Makoto's faint bloodlust.
"While we were banging around, the virus in question was scattered, and they almost killed us together."
"It's impossible for us to kill even a helper in collateral damage."
While saying that, Fukuda was thinking of a certain person. There are people in the organization who are just aiming for results without thinking about the future.
"But I didn't say it now."
