"So you're saying she's that Milly person?" Nori had a serious face as she looked at the orange-haired girl in front of her.
The girl made a small reference as a greeting and then opened her mouth to speak "I would like us to work together to find Shiro."
Nori frowned and her gaze focused on Kenshin next to her, he had made an appointment for the two of them to meet after having told all that about the corporation associated with Shiro.
"Why would I have to find Shiro and if so why do you think I wanted to find him?"
Milly smiled a sly smile and gave him a lopsided smile.
"To save kazuyo"
Nori's eyes widened and she looked at Milly with a more serious look than normal.
"What do you mean save him?"
Nori's icy voice made Kenshin shiver with nervousness.
"After discovering some things about that corporation, I also discovered that they have an injection called genesis and that injection can regenerate internal wounds and even wake up people in a coma but it is very expensive to create from what I discovered"
Nori's mind started racing with all the possibilities, if this was true then there was a chance that Kazuyo would wake up.
"How do I know you're not lying to me?"
Kenshin was startled and quickly spoke up to defend Milly.
"She didn't int-"
Milly put a hand on Kenshin's shoulder and pulled him to the side.
"Because I want something that corporation took from me"
Milly's voice was determined and left no room for argument.
Nori could only sigh and then looked at Kazuyo through the small window in the door.
Her gaze was peaceful, so peaceful...
Nori wanted to save him, she wanted to help him so if she had to risk her life to do so she would do it.
Milly raised her hand towards her and gave her a warm, sly smile.
Nori snorted at her silly smile and shook her hand along with his.
"So what do we start with?"
Milly smiled at Nori's question.
"Well, I think I have an estimate of where one of its bases could be."
Kenshin and Nori looked at her in surprise.
"So now we will need more allies, do you have any idea how to get them?"
It was Kenshin and Nori's turn to smile.
"We have an idea" they said at the same time making Milly look at them curiously.
Kenshin put his hand in the center of the two of them and looked at them with a smile from ear to ear.
Milly looked at the hand for a few seconds and then scoffed but decided to put it on Kenshin's hand, then the two looked at Nori.
Nori looked at them both for several seconds, he knew that this was dangerous, going against an organization that could go into a school and murder a man and not receive any countermeasures was dangerous, much more dangerous than he could imagine, but for now he could lie to herself and dream of a future where things would turn out well.
She put her hand on theirs and the 3 of them raised them at the same time, a small smile almost imperceptible to the human eye shone on Nori's face but apparently none of the two present noticed it.
[2 weeks later]
"So this is the place we're infiltrating?"
"Takahiro, could you lower your voice or they will hear us"
Riyuu made Takahiro lower his head, Takahiro lowered it with an angry grimace.
"You two should stop bothering each other."
A boy with gray hair and glasses spoke as he adjusted his glasses over his eyes and looked at them tiredly.
"So, but what do you say to me, damn four eyes"
Takahiro scoffed loudly causing an angry vein to form on the glasses boy's forehead.
"My name is Asahi, you damn ignorant that's why you don't have a girlfriend."
Takahiro looked at him with a murderous look as he clenched his fists tightly.
A blow to Takahiro's head made everyone shocked and cowered as they saw Nori looking at them with a cold gaze.
"I hope they understand the seriousness of the situation and don't act like little children."
The 3 nodded with a few small beads of sweat falling from their faces.
"Good because I don't want them to act like that again."
"Nori relax and let them have fun, we're still too far away anyway"
Kenshin tried to lighten the situation but all he received was a murderous look from Nori that made her insides twist in fear at the sight of her imminent death so with good common sense he apologized and walked away from them. .
He decided to approach the brown haired boy sitting next to a tree reading a book.
"Your name is Tamahi, right?"
The boy seemed more feminine than anything because of his appearance and his build similar to a girl's body. He looked up and inspected Kenshin with his gaze and then responded completely naturally.
"You must be perverted-chan"
Kenshin's face turned red with embarrassment and he decided to walk away too, leaving the effeminate boy alone.
.

"Nori, everything is in order"
Milly's voice came through the transmitter in Nori's ear.
"I copy you, everything is in order here too, not a single strange movement"
Milly's voice took a few seconds to respond.
"Copied, let's keep watching until further notice"
The connection was cut and Nori sat in the bushes and looked with his binoculars at the giant black hatch. It didn't seem like a big deal but if you knew about the organization that was hiding there, then things would be totally different.
Two weeks ago they had formed the alliance with Milly and the white fang gang. Their advances of course bore fruit and they soon found one of the organization's bases so they were watching it for two days.
But there was no movement of that giant door.
Everyone was tired but continued to watch diligently as if their lives depended on it.
Nori's thoughts were cut short when she suddenly felt large tremors in the ground.
"Nori, there is movement on my side"
Milly's voice sounded through the transmitter making Nori come to his senses and give the order to her team.
"Everyone, it's time to enter"
Whatever was going down, it gave them the opportunity to try and find a way in and they wouldn't waste the opportunity.
Everyone nodded and raised their masks to cover their faces. They came out of the bushes and after a few minutes of running they reached the door.
The door opened with a tremor and they saw how the dark-colored vans that seemed to be armored came out of it.
Everyone hid in one of the side walls and watched as they came out, one, two, three, Nori's count was cut short when he saw that more than 20 armored trucks came out.
"Nori?"
Milly's voice through the transmitter brought her out of her thoughts and back into reality.
The door began to close and then she gave the signal and her team along with Milly's team that was arriving from another direction entered.
Darkness covered the group and after a few seconds a completely white hallway was illuminated with lights of the same color.
They had entered...

[Two weeks earlier, Shiro]
Little 01 looked at the darkly labeled door that said 077.
Her excitement increased knowing that she would meet someone who was related to her by blood or a family member and that person could train her.
Her workouts weren't much, she just did small stretches and exercises.
"Are you nervous?" Zen looked at the little girl playing with her hands nervously.
A warm smile lit up on Zen's face and he knelt at her height.
"Don't worry, Shiro is a good guy and I don't think he doesn't like you, anyway now you're like a little sister to him."
Zen's voice did a good job of calming the little girl.
"Thank you"
The girl gave him a smile and Zen stood up deciding it was time to open the door.
The girl looked into the room, a completely empty place not counting the bed where a young man with white hair was looking at the ceiling.
Shiro's gaze never left the ceiling when she heard the door open.
"Shiro, I think this is the first time you and I have met."
Zen approached with the girl at his side.
"It's a pleasure to see that you are in good shape"
Zen's voice was friendly but Shiro never looked back at him.
"Sorry"
The little girl's voice made Zen stop talking.
"You're Shiro, right?" The nervousness in the little girl's voice was evident.
Shiro directed his gaze to the girl and inspected her and then her gaze fell on Zen.
"Bringing her here was a good cover, now tell me what you're up to with all this or I'll kill you here without hesitation."
The seriousness in Shiro's voice scared the little girl but Zen suddenly spoke.
"It seems like you realized it but I expected it, so to cut things short I want to work with you to exterminate the organization and tear it to shreds."
Shiro raised an eyebrow in Zen's direction.
"Why does someone of your status have this bloodlust?"
"They killed my brothers"
The hate in zen's voice was palpable and it made shiro's mind think.
"Then you have a pl-"
Shiro was interrupted when Zen raised his hand in his direction.
"I think it would be better if you talked to your new sister, we can talk about these matters later"
Zen's voice suggested that it was better not to talk here in case someone suspected something, although the cameras did not have audio it was better to be safe.
Shiro nodded his head and then directed his gaze to the small girl standing next to Zen.
"Little one, what's your name?" Shiro forced himself to use his previous friendly smile.
The little girl lowered her head nervously but she ended up speaking.
"01"
"I don't mean your number or don't you have a name?"
"N-No"
Shiro looked at her for a few seconds and then smiled a smile.
"I have a friend named Ayane so I think Akane would look good on you, what do you say?"
The girl's head lifted and she looked at him with a surprised face, after which her cheeks turned red and she nodded happily.
"I love it"
The little girl now named Akane and Shiro talked for hours and after Zen said it was time to go she got up and threw herself at Shiro in a hug.
Shiro was shocked and just stood frozen until the hug ended.
"See you little brother" little Akane's voice sounded happy as she walked away.
After they left Shiro noticed the small note that was on her bed.
He had a detailed plan to destroy the organization and a date, two weeks away...
