Chapter 369 - ONE-NIGHT STAND (2/2)

”I am older than you.” Hina retorted.

”Don't get caught up in details. What happened there? I didn't expect you to move so fast.” Akira suppressed her laughter.

”It was not me. Things just escalated out of control.” Hina sighed. ”Yesterday, my new co-workers threw me a surprise welcoming party. Well, it was more of a night out in a club. Everyone was toasting here and there.”

”I would have died if Seiji had not offered to drink for me a bit. Those doctors do not care about their livers at all! One thing led to another, and here we are.” Hina drank some more tea.

”Those must be a lot of things in between.” Akira teased.

”Give me a break. I am so tired, and my head hurts.” Hina placed her head in her hands.

”So, did you do it?” Akira asked curiously.

Even though the matter involved her brother, she was first Hina's best friend. If she did not make her feel awkward and uncomfortable about this matter, who would? She laughed in her heart.

”Well, maybe,” Hina said.

”What do you mean by maybe?” Akira cringed.

She was not sure if she wanted to know the details anymore. Could it be her brother requires a special doctor due to a dysfunction? Could Hina's happiness be in danger?

If Seiji knew his sister's thoughts, he would be both mortified and heartbroken. She clearly only cared about her friend.

”Well, we did some things but not all of them.” Hina's usually confident face was bright red.

”Pfft!” Akira laughed. ”I won't ask anything more in case my vɨrġɨn ears are contaminated.”

Hina rolled her eyes. ”Says the person who was behaving unscrupulously during the party.”

Akira cleared her throat at the change in topic. ”Let's get down to business. I have a favour to ask.”

Hina did not expose Akira. ”Just say it.”

Akira took out a small clear vial from her tablet pouch. It had a crystalline powder, but there were no markings. It was the strange zombie drug that they had picked from the shipping container. She had only taken a small sample from Kaito.

”Check out the composition of this substance for me.” She said solemnly.

Though she had some background in pharmacology, she was not a specialist in psychostimulant substances like Hina. Furthermore, she had access to the facilities of the research institute.

Hina nodded with matching seriousness. She was not completely clear about Akira's secret life, but she knew that her friend often took up strange tasks. If she was requesting help, it had to be something serious.

She took the vial. ”I will let you know as soon as I have information.”
