Chapter 32 (1/2)
Manaka-san, I’ve come so far now
Neito decided to send the body of the Santana’s leader to Metallica’s research center He knew they conducted all their research without interference They could research more about the monolith and hoas associated to human souls
In the Santana’s point of view, Neito was their savior Neito appeared to the his services for them to build their base If ever they would try to oppose him, he would crush them mercilessly That’s whyNeito amassed arms in the branch headquarters
But it didn’t coiance to Metallica No, to be precise, they swore their allegiance to hi the sounds [kukko kukko], they even offered their strength to assist hireatly Most of their race are probably living in the ocean depths
With both Raone, Metallica’s influence over the island rapidly grew
Since Metallica’s activities were originally sainst them except their local hero
Under Metallica’s irregular coht down easily All the businesses in the island now belonged to Metallica in the shadows
Neito did all of it in less than six months
Mayuzumi Maki was in distress
The cyborg project proposal she submitted to the committee for the inter-company competition was about to be approved, and she already petitioned for it to be moved to the research and development department, but it came to a standstill due to a problem
She had no subject to be the “hu
She needed someone she could reat results after the transplant, but it would greatly raise the possibility of winning the competition if her it ell A creature that improves itself, that was her concept
In order for her to succeed, she needed to face multiple problems
First, she needed to find a subject with strong mental fortitude that could withstand the procedure There weren’t too many in the world
After the subject beca, she needed him to be able to control his powers independently
He then would be enlisted in Metallica’s elite unit to handle special missions in the front lines
It was a given that Metallica would want a top-notch subject resulting from the transplant The battle capabilities shown after the transplant would greatly affect Metallica’s view on the project and the subject
Maki still thought the concept of “evolving itself to becoer” did not appeal to the committee too much After all, they could interpret it as “it will start off as a weak subject” that will try to improve itself
Maki knew that eventually they’ll coht be complaints
The project would greatly affect her life and the co the committee would see this
And, she really worked hard on having the concept of building an ireatly boost Metallica’s fighting capabilities She tried thinking of a person to be her subject This was obviously her job as she was the researcher and developer of the project
[…Hmm…]
Maki was slu It seemed that she couldn’t come up with somebody
[Mayuzumi-san? What happened? Are you okay?]
She heard a voice from afar
[Ah, no, I’hts…]
(adsbygoogle = adsbygoogle || [])push({});
She replied hastily
[Is that so… You seem kinda down lately Hey, have you heard?]
[? Heard what?]
[I don’t know if this’ll cheer you up, but…your co-worker, Ko to the main office today]
[Eh?!]
She didn’t know this She thought he was still in Okinawa
She had heard all kinds of news
He defeated Raained dominance over the Santana
This neidespread within the cost themselves that [it was a miracle] They simply were in utter disbelief
A norh the General Affairs, rises through the ranks and gets sent to the special region, then colory It was an unlikely situation
But Maki thought otherwise She already expected this of him
If it’s that person,I wonder what he’s doing right now? Is doing well in Okinawa? He could’ve calledto do soain
Those kind of thoughts came to her
That’s hen she heard news about hi people around her to look at her, andher all red
[W-why is Neito-kun co here?]
[He’s receiving the director’s recommendation award Well, it’s obvious that he would receive such a reward since he was up against a Guardian that strong Ah, about his scheduled time of arrival…]
[………!]
She let hi new heights
He was a shy but caring person, cal that he would destroy the world
He was truly a mysterious person
Her chest soon grew hotter by the minute
[A, Ah, I’m…! …Can you excuse me for a bit?]
[Hehe, sure Go ahead]
[Thank you very much!]
Maki briskly walked through the corridors When she heard that he’ll be arriving, she concluded that they’ll probably arrive via the lobby
She had nothing to see him for, but she just wanted to see his face once
She saw the elevator and decided to use it to go doards the lobby
The elevator was croith people She bowed her head to them and entered it
While she was riding the elevator, she heard all kinds of gossip
[I still don’t believe it… What kind of guy is he? That Komori?]
[It’s only been a short time since he was accepted into the company… I really don’t know that much about him…]
[I saw hi impression on you]
[If that’s the case, there’s no way he could do soreat]
[Defeating Dylan, bringing down Beetle and conquering the special region That’s one hell of an achieveth?]
It seeht about another storuys on the elevator ere headed to the lobby were constantlygossiping about him
Hearing about hihted
Fufufu You’re all wrong Komori-kun’s kindness is the same as normal people
She tried to hold back her delightfulness
