What kind of person was Hachiman? Did you think he would believe everything Hei said?
Especially after Hei had threatened his little sister. So, Hachiman Hikigaya made the following choice.
He directly reported Hei to his leader.
"Leader! It's like this. I don't think they're good people. Please, attack them with full force!"
Hachiman Hikigaya's decisive actions made Bronya on the other end of the phone fall into deep thought.
'What's going on? Why did my subordinate report Kiana's subordinate?'
Bronya was confused for a moment. She looked strangely at Kiana, who was playing games, and then at Raiden Mei next to her, who was also bringing over a fruit plate.
Bronya said in a low voice, "I understand what you're saying, but now is not the time. I have more important things to do now. You should investigate secretly first."
[Game Over!]
"Hahaha! Bronya, your character died again! I told you that you couldn't beat me with just your hands!"
Kiana was very happy. She had been using her cheats to torture the old-school gamer Bronya for a long time. Once they encountered something that was difficult or a dangerous PvP situation, Kiana would use cheats without hesitation.
Bronya's face darkened. She didn't want to pay attention to this bastard, and she secretly reported Kiana's account again.
Hachiman Hikigaya on the other side of the communicator was sweating profusely. Was that really what you considered to be a more important matter, leader?
'It's truly a miracle that Academy City hasn't fallen apart yet. It's all thanks to the fact that humans are too tenacious.'
But he was helpless. Bronya had already ordered him to infiltrate the enemy.
'Was I, a perfectly good security guard trainee, just turned into an undercover agent?'
In the midst of his grief, Hachiman Hikigaya edited a 'will' on his phone.
[...My dear Komachi! Your brother...]
After suppressing his panicked emotions, Hachiman Hikigaya decided to talk to his good friend and properly open up, hoping that he could share his pain with half of it to the other party. He would feel safer if more people knew about it.
The fight against the Honkai beasts was quickly cleared up. With Dr. Tesla, the human Moonlight Throne, around, there wasn't much Honkai energy left in all of Academy City.
Who would have thought that a Herrscher would now be on humanity's side?
Miyuki Shirogane had also finished his learning work in the research institute. In addition to gaining experience, he had also experienced non-stop hard study.
It had probably been a while since they had contacted each other, so Hachiman Hikigaya's invitation was a little unexpected for him.
He recalled his conversation with Professor Yang when he was at the research institute.
Professor Yang emphasized the surprise that the lump of meat brought to humans, but he also emphasized the vigilance and scrutiny of this lump of meat.
This made Miyuki Shirogane believe his identity. If he didn't have enough research about this thing, he wouldn't know about so many dangerous things.
"But, isn't it dangerous to just put such dangerous and profitable things in the research institute? I heard that Dr. Tesla, who is the most powerful in Academy City, is there. Isn't there something even more powerful?"
Old Yang took out a card from his body. Everyone in Academy City had one of these.
"Of course there is. For example, this 'Identity ID,' which has bio-technology sewn together with modern biochip technology, is a small toy researched by Dr. Tesla. And this is just the result of the research into that lump of meat. This is also what Director Cocolia has contributed here."
Cocolia was the one who had proactively provided the biochips. She had basically eaten up a huge portion of that market.
Miyuki Shirogane also took out the Identity ID on his body and frowned as he looked at this strange thing in his hand.
"I didn't expect that there was something like this. What does it rely on to survive? I only know that if it breaks, I can just throw it into a repair machine to repair it."
Old Yang awkwardly pushed up his glasses. It wasn't a repair machine at all. It was actually just an organic trash can that was filled with rotten meat and leaves. If they were damaged, you could just throw it inside, and it would automatically absorb those things and self-repair.
He couldn't bring himself to say such a ghastly thing. If the student knew that so-called repair was just dipping it into organic garbage and then cleaning it, he would only cause the student to have a new perspective on Identity IDs.
"In short, there are still a lot of benefits to having it… Humans are just a little too eager for quick success."
Old Yang was very tired, but he couldn't do anything about this group of humans who were rushing forward.
Miyuki Shirogane didn't quite understand the meaning behind his words, but he did agree with the idea of being eager for quick success.
You see, in the six months since the Academy City was established, the various changes had almost come in quick succession, not giving people any time to adjust.
The entire city was like it was strapped on a rocket launcher, always afraid of accidentally exploding at some point.
"I've told you a lot of strange things, but in this research institute… where is there anything that isn't strange?"
Old Yang left. He had only come here to express his worries. He was always reminded of his past memories by a new, young person.
After returning to his dorm, Miyuki Shirogane kept thinking about recent events. After briefly contacting his family to tell them he was safe, he received a message from Hachiman Hikigaya before dinner.
'That's strange, why is he calling me out at this time?'
He didn't think too much about it. It was annoying to stay in the dorm anyway, so he simply went out to meet with his friend and talk a bit.
Who would have known that this talk would lead him to learn about such unbelievable things.
"The Holy Mother Church? Making the Holy Mother descend? And other people that you don't know?"
'Do you have any confidentiality agreements, or any sense of confidentiality?'
Miyuki Shirogane thought that Hachiman Hikigaya was too awesome. How was he still alive after all this time without being killed by those evil followers?
"It's not easy that you're still alive now,"
He wasn't someone who would speak out of line, but he still poured Hachiman Hikigaya a glass of soda out of sympathy.
"Tell me, what should I do now?"
Hachiman Hikigaya just decided to be open and ask. He felt that this whole thing was a bit unreliable, especially since his leader was also an unreliable person.
"What did your leader say?" Miyuki Shirogane didn't have a solution. He was not working with Hachiman Hikigaya in the same capacity now.
"She told me to go undercover?" Hachiman Hikigaya was really confused. What was he, a student, supposed to do by going undercover?
"Then can't you just quit?" Miyuki Shirogane was very curious about what would happen if Hachiman Hikigaya didn't do this job anymore.
"I don't know, but it seems like I can try. But I'm also worried. If I didn't have any support, wouldn't I mysteriously disappear?"
Miyuki Shirogane was speechless at Hachiman Hikigaya's question.
'If you're so cowardly, then why did you agree to become a security guard trainee in the first place?'
Hachiman Hikigaya didn't want to either. He didn't have any support and was directly transferred over here without any mental preparation.
Seeing Miyuki Shirogane silent, Hachiman Hikigaya felt despair for his future.
"Just take things one step at a time…"
"Yeah..."
Miyuki Shirogane was much more cautious. Unlike the Holy Mother Church that everyone knew about, the strange things in the research institutes could not be randomly disclosed.
