Chapter 4: Turtle Fracture
One,
I can’t find anything to do.
Reiko returned to work not long afterward. She prepared the room next to Makoto’s for me, and while I’m grateful to her, Makoto won’t be in the room during work hours. Even if I wanted to do a surprise interview, there’s no law without an ID card.
The dormitory looked like a first-class resort hotel, but inside there was only a staff cafeteria-cum-lounge and individual rooms, with no other recreational facilities. I was initially very surprised by the beautiful decoration of the room, so I jumped up and down on the king-sized bed and visited the bathroom with wide eyes, but I got bored within ten minutes.
In extreme boredom, I had to go to the waiting room on the first floor for coffee to pass the time.
‘The professor told me to ask Chris to help me make an ID card, but how am I going to get there?’
It would be embarrassing to meet Chris, and it would be even more embarrassing to meet the man I just met; and if I didn’t happen to be in the middle of a big fight, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? But, honestly, I didn’t have a choice. I couldn’t go anywhere without my ID card, so I had to ask her for help.
“It’s been a couple hours, so it shouldn’t matter, right?” Having made up my mind, I left the rest room.
I hovered in front of the silver metal institute doors, contemplating what kind of attitude I was going to take to meet up with Chrissy.
“It’s no use thinking about it anymore!”
As if it wouldn’t be too sneaky fast no matter what. I took a deep breath and stepped inside the institute.
“Yah, Al, what’s up?”
“Ah, K… Chris, it’s…”
I was at a loss for words for Chrissy, who was acting as if nothing had happened. Chrissy looks like she’s doing nothing differently. It’s completely inconceivable to imagine the previous demented state, and that’s where I’m confused.
“The professor asked me to ask you to get an ID card…”
“Okay, I got it!”
Formulaic tone. Was I daydreaming just now…?
“The ID card will be ready tonight, but it does not contain the password to access the Institute’s labs, for reasons you should know!”
“Afraid I’ll sneak in and sabotage it? Am I so untrusted?”
“Because if you don’t, you’ll still sneak in, right?”
Chris sounded a lot like he was scolding a petulant child. She’s right, I can’t argue with that.
“Then I’ll come by in the morning to pick up my ID card, and the interview doesn’t start until tomorrow anyway.”
“It will be done by tomorrow. But…” Chris looked back at me with the same sticky gaze as then, “But why didn’t you apply immediately after coming out of the professor’s room?”
“K… Chris!?”
“I don’t care either ooh!” The tip of a bright red tongue stuck out from between her lips.
“No, that, what… see you tomorrow, tomorrow!”
I ran away from the institute at the same speed as I had in the afternoon. One side pressed between my legs with the tent pitched high. Suddenly, I realized that the sun was setting around me. Looking out over a dusky patch of trees on the leak, I walked slowly towards the dormitory.
It’s only been a few hours since we arrived (DESIRE), but a lot has happened already).
“Enough tossing and turning for today too!” I muttered as I thought about the various things that had happened today.
“Al!”
“K… Kasumi… Miss!” I panicked for a moment as I was being called by someone unexpected while I was in the middle of my thoughts.
“Remember my advice?”
“Advice? Meaning what was said in the airplane?”
Kasmi just looked at me and didn’t say yes or no.
“If you insist on pursuing the root of the matter, you will lose your life!”
“Oh? Is it that unspeakable?”
“┅” Kasmi sharply glanced at me before suddenly leaving as if she felt bored.
“It seems like something is going to happen again.” I said to myself as I looked at the back of Kasmi, who was leaving at a fast pace.
It’s nothing to be proud of, but my hunches about bad things have never been wrong. With something close to certainty, I rushed back to the dormitory.
Two,
My premonition was true. Na, who was running towards me in high spirits, turned my premonition into reality.
” Na seems to be doing much better! Great, great!”
“Um, Na is hurrying up so she can come meet Al!” Na said excitedly while being hugged by me. I was surprised to see her genuine smile from the bottom of her heart.
“Al! There’s a scary old man after Nat, you have to protect Nat!”
“Your Majesty! I’ll protect you even if I’m torn to pieces!” I said to Na as I ruffled her hair.
“Really!?”
“Don’t jump when you’re being held, Nat!” I hugged Na gently.
At that moment, a male in white suddenly ran out in front of them, as well as Makoto in her uniform, a red neckerchief coupled with a blue and white blouse, paired with a tight skirt, it was beautiful! But I’m afraid this isn’t the time for compliments.
“You caught her for us oh!”
The scary old man Na was talking about must be this man. The way he looked at me was as sharp as a scalpel.
“Makoto, who is this scary old man?”
“He’s Dr. Gates, Director of the Medical Center, Al! Give her to me.” Makoto said to me. It wasn’t said in the tone of a boyfriend and girlfriend, but in the tone of a (DESIRE) employee.
Na hugged me tighter as soon as she heard that.
“Don’t!” I answered simply. Seeing Na’s scared face, I couldn’t answer easily: “Yes.” After that, I handed Na over to them.
“You’re not a doctor, are you? As a doctor, I have to take the process of protecting this child in order to treat her.
Who are you to deny what the doctor said?” Dr. Gates said in a disgusting tone.
He sounded like he was a god. Not only do I hate people who talk about authority, but I don’t like assholes who scare Na. Na must feel the same way.
“I have. Because she’s very scared, right, Nat?”
“Um, Na wants to be with Al!” Na even made a face at Dr. Gates.
“Al! Why are you protecting this little girl?” Makoto said to me as she took my hand.
Makoto has her position, but I have mine too. I swore an oath to protect Na.
“Al, Nat hates the old woman too!”
“You’re calling me an old woman!?” Makoto glared angrily at Na, and I couldn’t help but giggle.
“Kazuizumi, you know this ignorant man don’t you? This kind of person only adds to the doctor’s troubles!” Dr. Gates raised one eyebrow and said nonchalantly.
I had an urge to break the man’s nose.
“Dr. Gates, the boy is losing his memory, isn’t he!”
“Eh!”
“So, is the most effective method for restoring her memory to her, letting her do what she wants to do, or forcing her to stay in a nasty place, with nasty people? Please tell ignorant, stupid Al!” I told him in a provocative tone.
The answer, of course, is the former, and Dr. Gates certainly knows it. Gates, with his angry gaze, told me this in no uncertain terms.
“On that point, of course, the former option, but there is also the possibility of unexpected symptoms occurring that were not detected at the time of the consultation, so I demand that you hand her over.”
“I refuse! If the diagnosis and treatment does not reveal any symptoms, that means there is no need to receive treatment. In the unlikely event that something is wrong with Na, I will take her to the medical center.” I clung to Dr. Gates’ momentary slip of the tongue.
Dr. Gates glared hard at me, and I glared back nonchalantly.
“Al!” Makoto tried to stop me, but I didn’t budge at all.
“Fine! But if anything happens to this child, you’ll have to take all the blame, remember!”
Dr. Gates left immediately after giving his word.
“Al, Al Al Al Al!”
“Your Majesty, my little one kept her promise.” I gently stroke the head of Jaina who is holding me tightly.
She was overjoyed that I was able to give her the satisfaction of having the 100 percent trust she put into it returned to her.
“Al, are you really going to protect this kid?” Makoto is the exact opposite of Na, and casts a skeptical eye toward me.
“Yeah! It won’t be irresponsible. Luckily, the room I’ve been assigned is huge, and Na will have no problem staying in it.”
“The point isn’t here!” Makoto exclaimed before her eyes shifted around.
“… I’ll tell you about it later in your room.”
” ~, Granny are you coming to Elle’s room too~?”
“That’s right, I’m going!” Makoto pulled my hand in a temperamental manner.
Three,
“Al, what the hell were you thinking? To be so biased in favor of this child and to have a big fight with the doctor!”
As soon as I closed the door, Makoto immediately started accusing me. As if there was a considerable amount of resentment towards my behavior.
I know, however, that she was upset not because of the way I responded to the doctor (which may have been a little bit in terms of position), but because I went against her. The reason was that she wanted me to hand over Na, and I refused to do so. And… “Makoto, what are you jealous of?”
“I… Why would I be jealous of a child!” Makoto’s face turned red. I really did guess correctly.
” Nat has a name! Kids aren’t Nat’s name!”
“I didn’t ask you!”
Makoto was furious and put her face close to Na who was sitting on the bed. They naturally stared at each other with four eyes. Maybe it’s just my eyes, but it seems like sparks are going off between them.
“As childish as Nor…
My head hurts. But, I can’t leave them alone. I grabbed Makoto’s shoulders and pulled her away from Na.
“Al, you’ve been favoring this kid so far!”
“Makoto, calm down.”
“Who’s cool with that!” Makoto stared at me intently.
“I thought… I thought the two of them could have a nice get-together. Why are you meddling in Tuna’s affairs?
I haven’t seen you in months, but…”
“But…” I leaned in close with a reproachful look and whispered to Makoto in her ear.
“Makoto, I’m going to your room when Na falls asleep, wait for me a little while.”
The words were immediately effective.
“Al, what did you say to Granny?”
“Speak ill of her!”
“Is it…?” Na looked at me with a puzzled look.
“Al, see you later.”
I waved and eyed a happy Makoto as she left the room. Na also walks out of bed next to me to see Makoto off.
“Hey, Al.”
“What is it?”
“Is Granny your ex-girlfriend?”
Nana didn’t seem to want to call Jeongin by her name at all, as evidenced by her emphasis on the word “granny”. But Jinkin is an ex-girlfriend, meaning…
“Ex?”
“Because your girlfriend now is Nat!” Na said pouting against me.
I’m not a pedophile, but I’m not disgusted. In any case there is an urge to protect her, a feeling that should be called paternal instinct! Or perhaps chivalry. Or… “Al, if that horrible Obasan comes back, you have to protect Na!”
“Your Majesty, with Al it’s done.”
“Eh, I’m sure Al will!” She let out a bright smile.
Whether by instinct or by spirit, the sight of that smile made it seem as if everything in the world could be left behind.
”But that made Makoto a little unhappy. I have to make a special effort to make Makoto happier tonight. That’s why I need to find a way to make Na fall asleep early.” I looked at Na, who was using the bed as a jumping bed, and pondered in my heart.
Specialty medicines can become poisons if they are used in the wrong way. I felt this very deeply in a few moments… IV,
“Ai, finally, I’m asleep.” Looking at the watch, it’s been two hours since Makoto left.
Na had a hard time getting into bed after running around so animatedly between those two hours. She was probably quite tired as well, seeing as she was huffing and puffing within a few minutes!
“So much has happened today!”
KNOCKING… There is a knock on the door.
“The door was open.”
I didn’t turn around. The only person who would come to me at this time would be Makoto.
“Your Majesty, please take a moment to rest. Unworthy Al is going to go have some fun with the old granny.”
“Gee, calling me an old granny is too hurtful.”
“┅” I turned around in a panic. It wasn’t Makoto’s voice.
“K… Chris…”
Chris stood in front of me, wearing purple lace lingerie and garters. Beautiful nipples could be glimpsed between the bra lace.
“I’m only twenty-eight. You see, the skin is still so elastic.”
Chris rubbed her breasts with her hands. The front clasp suddenly opened and the bra fell to the ground as if it had been bounced off. My eyes didn’t rest on the falling bra, but gazed at the nipples that could be vaguely glimpsed from my fingertips.
“How! Am I still an old woman?”
Chris floated a sultry smile and walked towards me. With every step, her plump breasts swayed from side to side.
Like a frog being stared at, my whole body felt like it was under a spell and I couldn’t move, just watching Chris approach.
The delicately sweet scent of a woman’s body wafted over Chrissy’s body. This magical scent gave my man-root an honest reaction.
Like the heat that was leaking out to the lower half of my body, the beating of my heart, too, all of a sudden began to accelerate dramatically.
“… K… Kris, me and Makoto she…”
“Girlfriends wait no matter how many hours don’t they?” Chris said in a seductive voice before placing her fingers on my swollen pants. The pounding sensation raced through me.
“Al’s so honest, and so am I!”
Chris grabbed my hand and guided it to her secret flesh. Just through the panties, the wet nectar was already wrapping around my fingertips.
“Should we just touch it?”
“… but…”
“Don’t worry so much, this place is wet for you.”
Gazing into my eyes, Chrissy stroked my neck with her slender fingers, sticking her tongue out from between her bright red lips. She sent her fingers into the zipper that was pulled down, playing with my manhood. The burning sensation rushed through my brain, my rod bouncing higher and higher in time with the onslaught.
‘Can’t! Can’t hold back!’
Chomp! My rationality snapped and burning carnal desire took over. I hugged Chris tightly and kissed her brightly colored lips. My left hand reached into my panties and explored the fiery garden. The hot fountain of honey guided my fingertips.
“Al… Al’s… Al’s fingers… so cold…”
Fingers sank within the hot walls of flesh, and Chris’s body immediately shuddered slightly. I flicked her nipple clit with my tongue and removed my jacket with my free right hand. Chrissy’s hand, below, undid my belt and pants. In a short while, the belt and pants had been removed by her. After I took off my shirt, I immediately pulled down Chrissy’s panties in one breath. The sensation of the garter belt increased my excitement.
“It’s gotten so big… so hard!”
Chris knelt down and took my cock into her mouth. She licked her tongue back and forth as if she were savoring a gourmet meal, and caressed the root with her entire orifice.
“Chrissy… that’s amazing… that’s wonderful…” I said as I gasped.
Chris took in the man-root and showed what seemed to be an implied smile. The smile seemed to boast that she knew everything about men’s bodies.
If I go any further, I might cum in Chrissy’s mouth. On the one hand and in order to cool my meat stick, I picked up Chrissy and lowered her onto the bed. Chrissy stared at my meat stick reluctantly and held it in her hand again.
“That’s delicious! Al, good for you girlfriend.” After saying that, Chris turned her pussy toward me and wrapped her own tongue around the male root once again. I also grabbed Chrissy’s waist and pulled the quivering bright red flesh closer.
“How does Chrissy’s taste here?”
I licked my tongue up Chrissy’s fleshy hole and played with the engorged clit with my fingers. With a flick of my tongue, a high-pitched gasp escaped from between Chrissy’s man-root-laden lips.
“Aaah… Al… Aaahhhh!”
I was like a child who has been given a toy, enjoying Chrissy’s panting response.
“Is the mouth up there satisfied?”
“You, you’re so bad…”
After twisting her limbs hard, Chris released her mouth from my manhood. Then, taking a riding position on top of me, she pressed her secret flesh against the searing hunk.
“You know what? It’s so itchy here and I want your big stick so bad.” She sank down pleasantly and slowly.
My man-root, gradually, was sheathed in by the hot, wet jug of flesh.
“Look… already, it’s in. Al’s… inside me…”
Without her having to say it, I couldn’t take my eyes off the union area. Although I can’t see the hot walls of flesh, the touch of flesh rubbing against flesh conveys to me the shape of it. When I reached the depths, a gurgling sound of lewd water resounded from inside.
“Mmmmmm~~” Chris breathed out contentedly before starting to push her waist.
“Uh-oh!” I felt a sweet paralysis.
With each rocking motion from Chris, the hot flesh wrapped tightly around the man-root, giving a vacuum of stimulation. Chrissy’s cheeks flushed pink and she gazed at me with vacant eyes.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah!!!” A short gasp began.
Waist to waist collided with each other, chirping chirping chirping chirping chirping chirping with lustful sounds. The male root jutted against Chrissy, the top dripping with white love juice. The movements of the waist gradually accelerated. The intervals between gasps became shorter, and the throbbing inside the secret flesh that encased the male root increased dramatically. The sweet frictional heat heated my lower body to the moment before it exploded.
“K… Chris… I’ve…” my lower body had long since filled up and was about to burst its banks.
“I can’t… ah! One more… one more stroke… one more stroke and I’ll give out!” Shaking her head from side to side and pushing her waist up and down, Chris pleaded with me.
Gritting her teeth, she endured the lapping of the waves of pleasure and instead pushed her hips up more quickly.
“Ah! Ah! Going! Going for it! Al! Al…!”
“I… I’m going to spray too!”
Goo poof! Shoo poof! Choo-poof!
My man-root kept on vibrating powerfully, and shot out white, cloudy semen inside Chrissy’s body. I hugged Chris, who had lost her strength, tightly and let out a long breath of satisfaction.
“Al… I… I haven’t had an orgasm in a long time… my mouth down there is also satisfied…”
Chris’ body was still spasming. As if to prove her words, the lower half of her mouth was holding my rod and twitching rapidly. In this position, we were enjoying the aftermath of our pleasure to the fullest.
“If only you weren’t Makoto’s boyfriend…”
“Don’t you have that Kyle guy too?”
“Kyle ah, forget it! That man can’t do it at all! Can’t do anything but move his hips. If he’s as good as you are, I’m the one who has to think about making him my boyfriend.”
“Look, Al, you’ve got a backflow of stuff coming out. It’s accumulated quite a lot!” A large amount of liquid mixed with semen and love juice flowed out of Chris’s meat hole.
“You know what? Cumming in there is great for beauty!” Chrissy looked down at the lower half of her body contentedly.
“But this little girl is sleeping really well! I hope I won’t have strange dreams.” Chris stroked Na’s hair.
I had forgotten all about Na and Makoto while I was making love to Chris. A quick look at my watch showed that Chris had been here for over an hour.
“Y..! I’m sorry. I’m sorry for interfering with your rendezvous with your girlfriend.” Chris said without shame.
“I’ll enjoy the afterglow a little longer and then go back. You hurry up and go to your girlfriend’s!”
“No, I’m not comfortable with Nat and want to lock the door. Excuse me, can you please go back first?” I said to her as I hurriedly got dressed.
“Well, I’ll be around to take care of Na.”
“That wouldn’t work either, ’cause Nat hasn’t seen you.”
“┅You’re right, it seems like there’s no way out.” Chris was a little regretful.
It’s an hour later than expected, but I don’t think Jinkin is asleep yet… I hurriedly fixed my appearance.
But, in terms of conclusions, it’s just a waste of effort.
“Al, are you still okay?”
“¡¡Makoto!”
The door slammed open and Makoto walked into the room. At this point, Chris was still completely naked. Whoever came to see this sight could see at a glance what had just happened here.
“This is too much… Al, you’ve gone too far!” Large teardrops welled up in Makoto’s eye frames and she ran out of the room.
Immediately there was a hard slamming of the door from the other side of the corridor. How did Makoto look when she slammed the door? I don’t know.
“Al… I’m sorry!”
“It’s not your responsibility, it’s my fault.” I pounded the wall.
Regardless of any reason, I betrayed Makoto. Especially after her joyful anticipation.
After Chris left, I remained sitting on my bed, staring at the door to my room.
“… Al, what’s wrong with you?”
“Na… Why are you up?”
Na rubbed her sleepy eyes as I gently stroked her head.
“Nothing. You have to get up early tomorrow! I’m going to bed too.”
I lay down next to Na and turned off the light in the room.
…after closing her eyes, Jinkin’s face still wouldn’t go away…
In retrospect, I think Chris must have wanted to take Na away from her.
It was the woman, no, the man’s instructions.
But Al will definitely protect Na. I believe in Al.
Chapter 5 Encounters
One,
Snap Dang!
“Uh-oh!” My disillusioned morning began with a sharp pain.
“Al, it’s morning, get up get up!”
” Na!”
The face of Na came into view. She was sitting on top of me, looking up at me with eyes that sparkled with curious colors.
“Al go take a shower and get comfortable too!”
Maybe she went to the shower while I was sleeping! Na was naked and fully wet. She trusted me completely and didn’t hide her body.
” Na, you’ll catch a cold if you don’t dry off and get dressed quickly!”
“It’s okay, Na’s healthy.”
The warmth coming through the sheets was soothing. Na sat up and smiled brightly at me. It’s the same position as when I hugged Chris yesterday, but I don’t have a single evil thought.
“No way. How can I go to dinner if I’m not dressed?”
“By the way, Na’s stomach is starving~!”
It’s so cute to see both hands pressed against my stomach. I have experienced the fatherly feeling of having a daughter growing up in my family.
“So, you put your clothes on and we’ll go eat.”
“Eh! Na go get dressed.”
I waited for Na to get out of bed and then slowly sat up. And then… I was dumbfounded at the sight of the tragedy in front of me.
“What the hell is going on?”
The floor was completely submerged. Luckily, the camera was on a stand and was spared, but the change of clothes had been destroyed. It’s like the scene after a flood. The culprit, Na, pretended not to hear me.
… I experienced once again, in another sense, the feeling of being a father to a daughter who has grown up in my family.
” Na!”
“Al, did you call me?”
A little stunned, around Na’s neck, hangs my collar. The collar made my eyes widen more than the floor’s misery.
“Na, the necklace…”
“I picked it up.” Not as much as how she picked up the collar I was wearing around my neck, but she asserted with a straight face.
“But I threw away the picture of Granny inside.”
“！”
I could only be speechless when I saw the picture of Makoto in tatters on the floor.
Two,
An empty stomach will give up without a fight. A full stomach and then coffee is tantamount to a triumphant return. I walked to the waiting room in order to practice my motto.
Ten minutes later, I was enjoying the after-dinner coffee in the waiting room with Na, who was even more excited about her accomplishment. According to the information, the food at (DESIRE) is nutritionally balanced, but it tastes pretty good too. Even the coffee smells good.
”The consortium probably pays quite a lot of attention to the physical state and mental maintenance of its employees!”
It’s pre-work time, but there’s none of the rush of an ordinary employee cafeteria in the cozy waiting room. Individuals are seated around ornamental objects, eating and chatting enthusiastically. The angle, color, objects, and tables in the waiting room must have been decided after calculating the effect.
I felt even more acutely how much the consortium expects from (DESIRE).
“Al, this is bitter and hard to drink!”
“You’ll be almost an adult when you can appreciate the taste of coffee.” I said that to Na.
For Na, no, I should say, for a child of Na’s age, the phrase “becoming an adult” seems to have an almost magical effect. No matter who you are, when you’re a child, you want to grow up early. I was certainly no exception.
” Na will try to drink it.”
“Just drink it slowly la! Na. I’m going to the restroom.” I said and left my seat.
Na stared at the black liquid that looked like ink and gulped it down in one gulp.
” Na, really finish your coffee?”
By the time I got back to the waiting room, Na had run off somewhere. On the dining table where Jenna and I sat across from each other, only empty coffee cups were left.
” Where’s Nat?” My mind flashed to Dr. Gates’ face, and a sense of foreboding.
A quick look around and still no sign of Na. I ran out of the waiting room and ran to my room.
” Na!” Also not in the room. I ran back to the waiting room again.
“What’s wrong, Al?”
Inside the lounge, Silvia called out to me as she saw me hurrying. She probably came to the waiting room after me! Silvia’s red overalls stood out among the cyan-colored staff uniforms.
“Silvia, have you seen Nat?”
“Yes, at the entrance to the dormitory.”
“Thanks, I’ll find a way to thank you next time.”
I hurriedly ran outside, towards my back, Silvia laughed : “Then send me a jet! You can be the first passenger. I have a pilot’s license!”
“When I’m a thug, I’ll absolutely do as I’m told.” I also took it at face value. Though, at this point, it’s just assumed she’s joking.
Three,
My ominous feeling didn’t fall flat again. Na was indeed in front of the dormitory. And not by herself. She was hiding behind a young girl in a staff uniform as if she was under duress.
The uniformed girl who approached step by step was a small girl with a nurse’s cap to fix her hair. From the fact that she was wearing civilian clothes, it seemed that she wasn’t an employee.
“This girl must be treated. Are you deliberately trying to antagonize the doctor?”
“But… didn’t she get permission last night?”
The uniformed girl seemed to whisper a retort in deterrence of the young girl’s aura, but the plainclothes girl simply ignored it and continued to approach Na. Judging from the content of the pair, the plainclothes girl was probably one of the doctor’s men.
“Cheryl, do you believe the doctor’s diagnosis or what the kids say?”
“Ms. Nurse, I trust Na and I’m the one who has the doctor’s permission. If anyone wants to take Na to a medical appointment, please get my permission first.”
I couldn’t be bothered to apologize for my rudeness in interjecting myself into the conversation. I don’t know why, but the doctor must have called the nurse to take Na away.
The doctor had probably mentioned me to the nurse, so after seeing me, he was happy to walk away quickly.
“Thank you, thankfully saved. Miss Irena is very serious today!”
Looks like Irena was the nurse’s name.
“I’m the one who’s saved!”
The eyes of the young girl under her glasses opened wide, slightly shaking her bow-tied ponytail, and looking at the embroidery on my chest.
“Ah! You’re the Mr. Al that Na was talking about!”
“Just call me Al.” I said while stroking Na’s head who lunged at me.
“You must be Ms. Cheryl? As a token of my appreciation, may I buy you a cup of coffee? Since everything is free in the waiting room’s food and drink, this is just a little bit of my personal sincerity, but there’s nothing more priceless than free in the world isn’t there? My gratitude is also something that money can’t measure Oh!”
“Heh heh heh… you are indeed a funny person, as Makoto-sama said.” Cheryl laughed very happily.
No one doesn’t know that I’m Makoto’s boyfriend… What Silvia said yesterday doesn’t seem to be a lie.
“By the way, I’m Cheryl Lil. Chartreuse. Please call me Cheryl.”
Within five minutes, all three of us were seated in the waiting room.
When I passed Silvia at the entrance to the waiting room, she whispered quietly to me, “Makoto will cry if she cheats on me!” And then she left. I always found it rather jarring.
“Is that so? It’s hard work for journalists, too. It’s a respectable profession.”
Cheryl was very interested in what I had to say, and echoed everything, no matter what the content was. But I was more interested in her than she was in me.
From the glasses she wears, her ponytailed hair, and her healthy, bronzed skin, it’s hard to imagine that she’s a graduate of Rio’s International Polytechnic University with a PhD in Mathematics and Physics who came to DESIRE after a career in life sciences research.
In terms of position, Makoto is superior, but in terms of education, Cheryl is way ahead.
“I’ve heard that all the people in (DESIRE) are excellent people with specialized knowledge, and that seems to be true.”
“No… I’m not even close! It’s just that my previous grades were passable.” Cheryl said sheepishly.
The expression is very cute. Makes it seem like she also has a slender side that doesn’t quite match her healthy appearance.
“My motor nerves are very bad because I am always studying hard all the time. Theoretical aspects are disturbing if they cannot be fully understood. Therefore, the range of application doesn’t work for me at all.”
“Poor motor nerves?”
“Eh, I’m often mistaken for a sportsman. It’s probably the color of my skin…” Her somber expression didn’t escape me.
“So your tan isn’t from sun exposure! I thought it must have formed from sunbathing here.”
“It’s genetic.” Cheryl seemed to hold an inferiority complex about her skin color. Her expression told me this clearly.
Her skin color, which is different from that of blacks, whites, and Asian yellows, may have caused her to be ostracized. She may have even been bullied by her peers because of it. I didn’t realize that the world is still full of stupid idiots who judge the value of a race by the color of its skin.
” ? But I think a complexion like that looks healthy and attractive.”
” Na thinks so too!”
My words came from the bottom of my heart, and Na must have recognized them as well. As if Cheryl could relate, her expression brightened.
“┅Thank you.”
“We’re just being honest, we’re not saying anything polite! …But, Cheryl, isn’t it work time? It seems to be taking up too much of your time.” The watch on my hand, which had been adjusted to local time, was currently pointing to noon.
“It doesn’t matter, I’m taking a shift today. What about you? Aren’t you visiting Professor Stella today? The professor is big on punctuality.”
“Reiko told me to wait here for the professor’s announcement.”
Cheryl looked at me and Nat interactively and gave a light handclap.
“Then, I’ll take care of Na for you until the end of the visit! I don’t know why, but Dr. Gates seems to be very interested in this child… You don’t feel comfortable leaving Na alone, do you?”
The things I wanted to ask her later were blurted out by her, and for a moment I couldn’t go on indirectly. Cheryl, who had a sharp mind, saw my uneasiness at once.
” Na’s going with Al!”
“No, I can’t take you to see the dreaded Professor Stella. Professor Stella’s favorite thing is children and will chew on their heads, so you can’t go.”
“Na is not a child anymore. Na even dares to drink coffee… just hold her nose.”
Cheryl couldn’t help but laugh at our conversation. The three of us burst into laughter.
“Yeah! Black man, in a good mood!” Until it was interrupted by a gruff man’s voice.
“┅Kyle.”
When I turned around, there was a thick, sturdy man standing behind me. There should be no mistake. He was the man who had made love to Chris in the orderly room yesterday, Kyle.
“Wow, nigga, you gave birth to this brat! Which man did you rape? But it’s okay, it’s not dark. If I had your skin color, I’d be hopeless. You know what? I was so scared when I fucked you, I was afraid I’d give birth to a little nigger.” Kyle sounded cocky as hell.
“Please, stop…” tears surfaced in Cheryl’s eyes.
I don’t know what kind of relationship they used to have, but it seems to be worse than freezing now. I’m afraid they’re here to vent their anger at being dumped! I’ve heard this kind of thing a lot. However, Kyle continued to say things that shouldn’t be said to the shivering Cheryl.
“I’m just talking honestly, what’s all the crying about! A black man is a black man, and how dare a black man upset me!”
THUD!!! I pounded the table with all my strength and stood up with ferocious vigor. It was the anger boiling in my blood that drove me to make it.
“Apologize to her.”
“What, a fight, huh?” Kyle shook his fist at me in a stance.
With his size and muscles it seemed that Kyle was quite capable of fighting. I probably couldn’t beat him, but my anger made me ignore that. Kyle insulted Cheryl, and that foul mouth said the last thing she wanted to hear. I don’t forgive him.
“I can defeat you with one punch! Come to your senses!”
Kyle looked toward me with a wizened expression on his face. I knew I couldn’t beat him, but I still decided to strike a blow with all my strength, squeezing my right fist as hard as I could.
“Ah! The dreaded Professor Stella!!!”
“What?” Kyle’s attention was diverted by Nat.
Slap Dunk! My mandatory right punch hits Kyle perfectly in the side of the face. Kyle, who had suffered a surprise attack, was knocked to the floor of the lounge by me unable to move a muscle.
“Well? This is the price you pay for being rude to Cheryl.” I said to him, rubbing my sore right fist and puffing out my chest. Next to me, the one who got the credit for diverting Kyle’s attention, Na also stood with her arms crossed majestically.
“Al, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. … but I’m glad that you stood up to protect me and fought with Kyle… but he was too kuai-goo… it’s all my fault. …”
“You’re right, it’s this guy who’s wrong.” I said dismissively to Kyle, who I had knocked to the ground.
Cheryl’s personality seemed like it was easy to blame herself, but there was no need to apologize to even someone like that.
“Get it? You’re not wrong at all, I promise. No need to hang your head.”
“Thank… thank you.”
My words certainly offered no reassurance, but Cheryl was pleased nonetheless.
“Al~, where are you?” From the entrance of the rest room, came Reiko’s voice. It was probably time.
“Reiko, I’m here!”
“It’s a good thing you’re here. I thought you were running around again… oops! That’s ugly.” Reiko snorted out a laugh at the sight of Kyle, who had been knocked to the ground.
“Al, pretty strong, being able to lay Kyle, a karate master, flat.”
“Who cares if he’s a master or not. That son of a bitch insulted Cheryl.”
“But it’s still impressive to beat Kyle, who is a combined twelfth dan in martial arts!!!” Reiko’s eyes held some respect.
Once again, I realized that it was a miracle that I was able to beat Kyle.
“In that case it’s better to escape early. Cheryl, Na please.”
“Yes!”
After asking Cheryl to take care of Na, I left the rest room with Reiko.
Chapter 6: The Change
One,
I walked past Chrissy, who was casting an intimate glance at me, to the professor’s room. After knocking on the door, I pressed the intercom button.
“I’m Elbart K. Mark Dauger.”
“Come in.”
The door opened and there were two pairs of eyes in the room looking up at me in unison. One of them is Prof. Stella’s eyes, and the other is Kasumi’s. Kasumi is here to monitor the interview as a representative of the consortium, right?
It’s a common occurrence, not surprisingly.
I had a schedule of interviews with professors today, and interviews at the experiment site tomorrow. I was looking forward to the interview, but once I saw Kasmi, I knew my hopes were dashed.
I pressed the record button on my handheld MD: “Now, I’m going to start the interview with the General Supervisor of DESIRE, Prof. Machina Stratovic. Prof. Stradovic.”
…after ten minutes. As I expected, I only got the same answer as the information beforehand. I sighed and turned off the MD in recording mode.
“May I ask my personal question?” I dodged Kasmi’s sharp glare and the pressure of no words and looked over at the professor.
“If I can answer that.”
I decided to go on the offensive by aspects unrelated to the (DESIRE) study.
“The professor had presented a paper on transdimensional theory at the Society a few years ago, but it was ridiculed as hilarious and ignored.”
“The experiment was published with the result that it is possible for dissimilar sub-dimensions to exist in the world. I recognize that it is true that it is a bit of a tangent, but the experimental data did not show any evidence sufficient to disprove hyperdimensionality.”
“I see. The professor is going to work on that after the (DESIRE) research is over, right!”
The professor doesn’t answer.
“Al, the problem is limited to the (DESIRE) thing.”
“That’s like asking nothing, Ms. Kasmi.”
Kasmi glared at me angrily.
I was scratching my head at this point, should I bring up Na to the professor and test her reaction? It was a rude question, but I couldn’t understand her reaction yesterday. But that would be a violation of my strategy and a betrayal of the agreement I made with Reiko, who was waiting for me in the corridor. But…
But my distress was interrupted at once by Makoto, who rushed in.
Makoto exclaimed, “Professor, this time…” and ran into the room! This time…” and ran into the room.
At that moment, Kasumi and the professor’s faces suddenly changed. Makoto also saw me and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. Something significant must have happened at this moment (DESIRE), there’s no mistaking it.
“Makoto, I’m going to the lab later, so explain it to me later.”
“Yes!” Makoto hurriedly exited the room.
“That concludes the interview!” Kasmi finished, standing up with the professor.
“Please tell me what “this time” means?”
“No!” Kasmi brushed off before heading out the door.
I chased the two towards the lab from behind, but was stopped by Reiko in the hallway.
‘What the hell happened?’
No one has given me an answer. But it’s not so unacceptable. Because, nowadays in (DESIRE) there is an incident that is enough to make the Chief Supervisor, Prof. Stella, and Kasumi, who came to inspect since the consortium, as well as the Technical Director, Makoto, panicked. That was the biggest result the interview had gotten.
After exiting the professor’s room, I was taken back to the hall by Reiko.
“That was quicker than I thought… pissed off the professor, didn’t you? Al.” Chris, sitting at the desk, looked surprised.
“It seems like there’s been some kind of incident or accident! The visit was suspended.”
“That sucks. It’s just about understaffed right now. Reiko, should we recall the staff who are on vacation today?”
“Ms. Chris!” Reiko was a little annoyed.
But Chris, I’m afraid, did it on purpose, and after seeing that I showed interest, continued to pontificate.
“I’ve heard that the study is nearing completion, so I’ve put most of the staff on vacation.”
“Please don’t criticize the professor’s approach!”
Maybe there’s a generation gap between Reiko and Chris that’s deeper than the Marianas Trench. To save myself from an undeserved disaster, I left the sparking duo and walked out of the research lab.
As Chris said, almost all of the staff didn’t have to go to work. On my way back to the dormitory, I passed many staff members. It was as if we were on vacation together.
“But… but it must not be that simple.” I felt that there was nothing simple about this group vacation.
Two,
“Oh, Al, just so happens you’re here! I was looking for you!?”
“Silvia, what can I do for you?”
At the entrance to the dormitory, Silvia ran towards me.
“No… it’s not a big deal, it’s just this…” Silvia’s hand was holding something that didn’t match her.
“Ambiguous, rather lovely ribbon, but I wouldn’t be interested in wearing that on my body.”
“Who said anything about giving it to you! Of course it’s for Nat!”
“Of course you can tell when you see this kind of thing! Jokes don’t even get it.”
“Is… is it, is it? … oh!” Silvia sighed before relenting.
“It’s from the warehouse. Fits Na right in!”
“It’s a good fit. You really have a girl’s delicate mind, too!”
I looked at Silvia tenderly. At that moment, Silvia’s face flushed red. She stayed for a while and looked at me with four eyes.
“Are you, are you making fun of me on purpose?” Silvia snarled in panic, but anyone could see she was shy.
“Never mind, remember to give it to Na-oh!” Silvia turned around hastily.
“Wouldn’t it be better to give it to her yourself?”
“How could I do such a humiliating thing!” After saying that, Silvia took a few steps forward and stopped again. Then, slowly turned to me.
“Is… that really suitable for Na?”
“Uh-huh, I’ve often been called Honest Al Oh! I won’t lie to you.”
Actually, whether I would lie or not was determined by the occasion and the target, but this time there was no need to lie because Silvia’s taste was really good.
“I don’t know much about that side of things, but I’ll take your word for it.” Silvia left again, but stopped again.
“Still uneasy? Silvia.”
“Not really. I just thought of something else.” She looked back at me with a very serious expression.
“It might be a little weird to ask you, but I wanted to ask anyway… There are two large airliners coming tomorrow, do you know why?”
“Tomorrow? I’m scheduled to go back the day after tomorrow… Will there be tourists this time?”
“No, I think it’s unlikely. One of them seems to be for transportation. I’ve done the math, and the cargo hold is still pretty empty even with the (DESIRE) entire staff crammed in plus baggage.”
In my head, the ‘not innocent on the inside’ feeling I just had at the institute came back.
“This situation where an airplane is coming without even informing our repair team first has never happened before.”
“So… for the first time!”
In my head, various information began to cross my mind. When Makoto said “this time”, it meant that it had happened before. The group vacation before the successful experiment, Kasumi’s existence, the big jet, and other suspicious information were also flashing through my mind.
“Silvia, do you know that a lot of the staff is on vacation today?”
“Eh. Heard about it in the lounge.”
“Maybe this incident has something to do with it. Probably a fatal accident oh!” I gazed at Silvia.
“Silvia, I need intel. Can you gather the right intel about the airliner?”
I nodded and looked at Silvia, patting her on the shoulder.
“I… I’ll be inside the hangar all the time, feel free to come find me.” Silvia might as well have stammered for some reason.
“Aren’t you going back to your dorm at night?”
“My private room is in the hangar. The quarters are too nice to live in.” After saying that, Silvia walked away quickly.
“Maybe it has something to do with why that Gates guy wants Na, too.”
Silvia and I started running back to the dormitory in the opposite direction…. There was no one in my room. I was in a panic for a moment, but then I realized the note paper on my bed. The note said, ‘Dormitory 3rd floor, Cheryl’s room’.
It also had an extension number written on it, but I wanted to make sure with my own eyes that Nat was okay. I put it in my pocket and rushed up the stairs with a flourish.
“Cheryl, are you there?” I knocked on the door labeled with Cheryl’s name.
“Ah! Al. So soon!” Cheryl opened the door.
” ?” My eyes, pinned by Cheryl’s breasts.
Not as bad as why, Cheryl was wearing a pink bikini. The part that was hidden underneath the fabric was slightly protruding from the wet swimsuit. I desperately pressed down my right hand that wanted to touch the nipple that appeared on my chest.
“What…” she thought I was a bit strange, but instantly understood what I meant and scrambled to crouch down, wrapping her hands around her chest.
“Yes, I’m sorry…”
“Why are you apologizing? Uh, and I should be thanking you! I think it suits you perfectly. Si, it’s beautiful.”
Cheryl’s expression was still like that of an innocent girl, but her body was already overflowing with the flavor of a mature woman. After I finished my speech, I hurriedly averted my eyes and closed the door. Then I pressed down on the male root that was towering in defiance of my own realization, and moved it to an unobtrusive position.
“It’s ready.” When the door to the room opened again, Cheryl was already dressed in an oversized housecoat with buttons, her damp hair still sexy as hell.
“Al, Na and Cheryl went to the beach and then came back to take a bath oh!” Na ran out by the bathroom.
Cheryl must be wearing a swimsuit in her room to match Na.
“Yeah? Cheryl, next time the three of us go together!”
“… It seems like it won’t work.”
“Don’t want to go with me?”
“No, it isn’t. Because I’m banned from going out on a prescription right now.”
I thought I had misheard. The reason Cheryl would accept disciplinary action is completely beyond my imagination.
“Prohibited from going out? Why? Is it because you don’t listen to that nurse named Irena?”
“No… it’s because of the violation of the ban on sea bathing.”
I think of the beach where I found Na. If you’re not allowed to swim, you don’t have to talk about people, and of course you won’t even see trash. But I don’t understand the reason.
“Cheryl, do you understand the reason for the disciplinary action?”
“Because I did what was forbidden!”
“No, I mean why is sea bathing banned and those who violate it penalized?”
Cheryl shook her head. The consortium shouldn’t have banned swimming for no reason, there must be an inside story. I took this doubt and wrote it down in a notebook in my mind.
“It’s a little strange to say that it’s a blessing in disguise, but this way I can continue to take care of Na. It should be a favor to you!”
“Of course. In that case I can go to the interview in peace. Na is okay with that too, right?”
“Nope~ there is! Cheryl is Na’s second favorite.”
I rubbed Na’s head before handing her the bow Silvia had given me.
“Al, is this a gift for Na?”
“It’s Silvia who wants to give it to you. She’s been looking for it for ages!”
Na couldn’t stop staring at the ribbon.
” Na like this color best! Na like Silvia and Cheryl equally!”
“I’ll tell her. She’ll be pleased.”
Cheryl listened to our conversation and cocked her head to gaze at the ribbon. Probably, it’s unimaginable that Silvia would give someone ribbons as a gift!
“Well, then, Cheryl, Na’ll be in trouble.”
“Ah! Okay.”
Having my trust seems to please her. Cheryl blushed and nodded vigorously.
“Al where are you going?”
“A bit of routine to do.” I purposely obfuscated.
Three,
My intelligence gathering was not as efficient as I had hoped. Although it was classified so it couldn’t be helped, I was still quite disappointed. Expecting something from Silvia, I walked towards the hangar.
“Silvia is the head mechanic, surely she can find a clue.”
I look on the bright side. Silvia is (DESIRE) and holds a high position. Besides, without her, the plane wouldn’t be able to refuel. Therefore, she should not be kept in the dark… I quietly walked towards the light that was coming from inside. As I thought, the light was coming from the door of her room. There was more than just light coming from the room.
“Hmph, hmph, huh…” Silvia’s frivolous laughter also came through the doorway.
“Silvia?” I felt something was wrong and opened the door.
“Ai… Ai… Al…” said Silvia, alarmed.
“Silvia… uh… that…”
I was startled as well. Instead of red overalls, she was wearing a low-cut patent leather dress and crimson lipstick. She looked like a different Silvia from the one she had been wearing in the past.
“É… it’s beautiful. I thought I recognized the wrong person.”
However, Silvia’s expression was somber.
“Don’t lie to me, I know best I don’t look like a woman at all.”
I looked at the top of the long transparent table in the center of the room, on which various chemicals were placed. Moving to the open closet in the center of the room, I found many blouses, dresses and black dresses.
“No, don’t look!” Silvia noticed my gaze and scrambled to put away the chemicals and close the closet.
“Don’t want you to see…”
“Why?”
“Because it’s funny isn’t it? It doesn’t suit me as a person at all, and it’s dressed up like Reiko. There’s no way I could ever become her.” Silvia hung her head.
“Be honest! Say you’re disappointed, say you despise me.”
“Yes, I’m disappointed in you.”
I approached Silvia and put my fingers against her jaw, lifting the listless face up. Silvia looked at me with a surprised expression.
“I was disappointed because I saw Silvia who was afraid that she wasn’t mimicking Reiko, and of course you can’t become her because you are you.”
“Al…”
“Look in the mirror, and whoever sees it will say Silvia is a good woman. Only, there’s one decisive thing missing. Know what it is?” I grabbed the mirror that hung down from the ceiling and turned it toward Silvia.
“That’s something Reiko has and you don’t.”
“So, I’m not like a woman…”
“It’s not that. Isn’t it understandable to think of your attentiveness to Nat? Didn’t you desperately search for the right ribbon to give her?” I slowly brought my face closer to Silvia.
“Reiko is very proud of herself. No matter if it’s work, or anything else for that matter. You, on the other hand, have an inferiority complex. In that case, you can’t bloom no matter how hard you try. To me, Silvia, the head mechanic, was a good woman. But the Silvia of now has no charm at all.”
“I’m a good woman in dirty overalls?”
I nodded towards Silvia who mumbled something.
“Even if twins have the same look, they are not necessarily both good women. If you don’t have confidence in yourself, you won’t be able to attract attention even if you are beautifully dressed.”
“But, but… I don’t have the confidence. Because even you say I’m not attractive now, right? Your judgment shouldn’t be wrong…”
I regretted my gaffe. Silvia gazed at me and pleaded with me.
“…Al, please give me confidence.”
“Give you confidence?”
What… I swallowed back what I was about to say. Because, Silvia pulled down the zipper of her chest in one breath. Her plump breasts unzipped their nephews’ oranges.
“El…” Silvia jumped on me. A faint sweet scent wafted into my nose.
“Hug me. I think if you hug me, it’ll help me get my confidence back.”
I lied to Silvia. I lied about the fact that I didn’t feel any charm in her. Believe me, Silvia, who gave her whole body to me, is so lovable! I gently drew Silvia’s face closer and overlapped her lips.
Then he slipped his tongue between the bouncy lips and intertwined his tongue with hers.
“Uhm… Th… El…” Silvia actively wrapped her tongue around mine as well.
Enjoying the dance of my tongue, I put my left hand over her breast. She shook slightly and I continued to give her caresses by rotating her nipples in my palms.
“AH… Ummmmmmmmm…” Silvia twisted her limbs and made a lovely gasping sound from her mouth.
With my other hand, I unzipped it all the way down and removed her dress. All that was left to cover Silvia’s body were white lace panties and brightly colored lipstick.
“Don’t… it’s embarrassing.” Silvia covered her panties with both hands, as if to hide her most mysterious area.
“Yaaaah!”
I lightly bit the nipple and then kept twirling it with my tongue. Silvia’s limbs that had leaked into pink started to shake.
I gently removed Silvia’s hand and prepared to raid the last bunker.
“It’s scary… Al.”
“Don’t worry, Silvia. Leave it to me.”
Silvia covered her face with her hands and lifted her waist insensitively as if to assist me. I quickly removed her panties and slipped my fingers into the already moist jungle. From inside her, the characteristic scent of a virgin wafted out.
“Y… ah… ah… ah… Al, there…”
Silvia was so anxious that she made an effort to close her feet, but my body was in the center of them. My fingers, free to tweak her little fleshy hole.
“There, there… no!” The fingertip that was inserted into the opening was pulled out by Silvia.
“For the first time, don’t use your fingers… El~” Silvia looked at me with pleading eyes.
“Sorry!” I said and looked around. The long table made of glass comes into view. I brought her over to the table and had her lie down on the glass.
“So icy.”
I didn’t answer. After fixing her white philosophical buttocks protruding backward with both hands, I pressed the tip of my hard male root against her secret hole. Feeling that her body is shivering slightly.
“I’m going in, don’t push.”
Using my waist strength, I pressed into the stamen little by little. Silvia’s pussy was extremely narrow, and the overflowing nectar didn’t help with penetration. The male root pressed away the blazing flesh walls of resistance and slowly invaded inside.
“It hurts! It hurts so much! So hot! So hot!” Silvia cried out in sadness. But I still lemoned my meat stick into the deepest part. After taking a deep breath, I slowly started to push my waist.
” A.ohh… Oh… … Al, inside my… inside my body…” Silvia cried out intermittently, as if matching my thrusts.
I watched the blood-stained man-root go in and out between the white buttocks.
“Zip!”
“Waaaahhh…!” Silvia screamed shrilly.
I penetrated my male root deep again. With her waist and hips colliding at high speed, Silvia’s body rose and fell like waves.
“Zip poof! Zip poof! Zip-poof!” The waves passed over my man-root, causing my head to become more and more paralyzed with each passing moment. I gradually accelerated the speed of the push and pull of my waistband.
“Oooh… Silvia’s body… is so tight…”
My loins turned away from my will and exerted themselves for the sake of sexual pleasure. The muscles in my abdomen tightened as if to increase the pleasure that was building up in my rod. The fingers pinching my buttocks also exerted strength, leaving finger marks on the white skin. On the flesh of the buttocks, ripples of pleasure shook fiercely.
“Well, already, I can’t!” The turbid flow of sexual pleasure broke through the limits of endurance!
Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble!
The waves of pleasure erupted into Silvia’s interior along with the bolting fluid. My man-root spasmed intermittently, and the whitish liquid defiled the chamber and uterus. When the spasms stopped, Silvia lost her strength at the same time.
“I’m… I’m sorry, Silvia. It must have hurt!”
After pulling out his penis, the liquid mixed with red and white poured out from inside her.
“… It doesn’t matter, as long as you feel comfortable. Al, do I have any value in letting a man hold me?”
“Of course I have.” I picked up Silvia and kissed her tenderly.
“Thanks, Al. But…,” Silvia smiled at me with a reddened face.
“I’ll tell you about my investigation… in the bathroom… okay?”
Of course, I have no reason to refuse.
A shower for two can be rewarding in many ways. The shower was more comfortable than a spring shower. If there was a downside, it would probably be that the information they received was as regrettable as having cold water poured on them.
Silvia said as she cleaned my man-root. “Right now, there are people in (DESIRE) who are engaged in sabotage, and the damage is quite severe. So it seems that this place must be abandoned before the research results are destroyed.”
The mystery of the airliner is solved. And the mystery of Makoto’s “this time,” too. However, I had other questions. I wondered if the content of the research here was worth destroying by any means.
Four,
My watch pointed to ten o’clock. Counting back, I had spent nearly three hours communicating with Silvia’s intelligence.
With my mind and body satisfied, I walked back to my dorm.
Cheryl was waiting for me in front of the dormitory. However, her expression was stony it didn’t look like something good had happened.
“What is it, Cheryl?”
“Al, it’s not good. Na… Na, she’s missing!”
This is among the worst things in my imagination.
“Aren’t you guys together all the time?”
“The… She said she was going to thank Silvia and ran away from the dormitory. Since I was forbidden to go out, I couldn’t chase her. I’m… sorry!” Cheryl’s face turned blue.
“Then I’ll ask Silvia. You just wait in your room. There’s also the possibility of Na running back on her own.”
“┅I know. I’m sorry I couldn’t help.” Cheryl apologized to me, but I didn’t want to blame Cheryl in the least. Because it wasn’t anyone else who caused Cheryl to be grounded, but Na.
“I’m going!”
I ran to the hangar in a 100-meter sprint. There I asked Silvia about it, but as I thought, she didn’t see Na. I asked her to search the area around the hangar and then ran to the runway. I thought to myself, “Maybe Na will be where we first met…
What was actually waiting for me at the beach was something I didn’t expect, but I certainly didn’t know it at the time. What awaited me on the beach was the sound of the waves and the voices of arguing women. The two women standing on the beach, illuminated by the bright moon, were Chris and Kasmi. I approached quietly, careful not to let them notice.
‘It’s over, I’ve been seen…’ On the way Kasmi seemed to have noticed me, but she shifted her eyes back to Chris as if she hadn’t seen anything.
I was surprised, but didn’t want to let go of the opportunity to return from the dead. I stopped and pricked up my ears to eavesdrop.
With an icy stare, Kasmi turned to Chris.
“Chris, it’s not too late to turn back, that research isn’t for you to maintain your beauty.”
“I don’t care about the original purpose. I want to be like Eirina, forever young and beautiful. No, no, I can become even more beautiful than her… evolve even more beautiful.” Chrissy reveled in her own words.
“You don’t care even if you re-interchange your DNA and become another person?”
“I don’t care, I just need to maintain my beauty.” After Chris finished speaking, her right hand reached into her chest. Then it held something that reflected the moonlight. It was the glittering knife.
“The professor said that killing you, the obstructionist, would make me younger.”
“The professor said that!?”
“Who!!!”
I shut up in a panic. I made an involuntary noise because I was so shocked.
“Al, you heard…” said Chris, glaring angrily at me. Like Dagger, sharp killing intent emerged in her eyes.
She didn’t give me a chance to defend myself.
Before I could say anything, she was in front of me. The knife fell from her hand, and it was like a slow-motion movie in my eyes.
“Gu… Oooooooooo!” Chrissy’s slender fingers, tightly twisted around my neck. I desperately tried to pull her hand away, but it was no use at all.
Chris lifted my body high. I struggled to look at her in my fading consciousness, wondering where she got her strange strength from. Saliva and foam even oozed from the sides of her mouth as she glared at me furiously.
” !” A loud gunshot rang out, and Chrissy’s head shook as if she had been hit by a hammer. Chris and I, both looked in the direction of the gunshot.
“Chrissy, you’ve become nothing less than a demon.”
It was Kasmi who fired the shot. She raises the Beretta and shoots Chris in the head again. The bullet went through Chris’s eyes as she stared at Kasmi, blood and a brain paddle bursting out of the back of her head at the same time. After I got my feet back on the sand, I gazed at Chrissy’s slightly spasming body.
“Al, is everything okay?”
“Um, thank you, it’s probably fine.” I feel around my neck.
“If the genes are rewritten, the muscles and bones will become strong, right? Or if it’s strengthened by mixing in the genes of foreign creatures… If it doesn’t turn out like this, it’s worth looking into.” After resetting the hammer of Beretta’s pistol, Kasumi turned off the safety.
“Putting the genetics… what do you mean?”
“Re-write, or fuse… one of the two. At the very least, the skull of an ordinary human being will not have the strength to rebound a nine-centimeter gunshot fired at close range.”
I stared at Chris’s twisted and contorted face. If I remembered correctly, the gun in Kasmi’s hand was a pistol officially equipped by the U.S. Army. To be able to easily bounce it away was naturally not ordinary.
“But what makes you so sure that you have enough information to confirm it? Does the consortium have definitive proof?”
I looked forward to her answer. Kasmi gently closed her eyes and nodded.
“The answer is: YES.” After saying that, Kasumi took the pistol into her handbag and took out a CD-ROM.
“In here, there are control processes for the (DESIRE) research facility.”
“It’s not good to steal something so important, is it?”
“Yeah! （The (DESIRE) research facility will be running at high speed, there’s no way to control it oh!” Kasmi smiled. It was the smile of a criminal.
“I did.” The smile vanished abruptly by Kasmi’s face.
“Granddaughter of the Chairman of the Grandchester Foundation… why?”
“Because (DESIRE’s) research, which violates the Consortium, under, is the President’s policy.”
“You mean research that is not accepted by conservatives?”
Most people with money claim to be peace-loving, and there’s certainly no way to find out if that’s true, but at least I have a good opinion of the Grantchester Consortium. However, there was no unanimity in the Granchester organization. If I remember correctly, the chairman was in the conservative minority of the syndicate. In other words… “They’re conducting military research, which the chairman cannot accept in any way.”
I was right about that.
“Then, wouldn’t it be enough to order a suspension by presidential authority?”
“Unfortunately, the Consortium is dominated by a majority of hardliners.” Shaking her head quietly, Kasmi’s expression seemed a million times more remorseful.
In other words, the president is forced to choose between allowing research and illegally obstructing it. or illegal obstruction of the research.
The president chose the latter.
“Al, stop pursuing the truth about (DESIRE)! You’ll get sniped by the professor like me.”
“The reason even hardliners don’t want the contents of the study to be known must be the weapons that kill people in large numbers.
You warned me, so that’s why…”
I confirmed the situation I was caught up in. The only question left was why I was allowed to come to the interview. I heard that the research had reached the completion stage. Wouldn’t it be safer to show fake research results for the press after it’s completed?
“The fact that you warned me means that it wasn’t you or the president who gave me permission to come here for an interview, right? So, who exactly gave me permission to interview?”
“That I don’t know. I don’t know who operated the computer that issued you the license. The hardliners objected to letting you come, but in the end it was Professor Stella’s decision.”
“Which means that I can be here because Professor Stella is insane?”
“Maybe! I don’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate.” Kasmi said as she ruffled her hair with her fingers.
“I feel full of luck. Kasmi, since I’m so lucky, by the way, tell me what’s going on behind the scenes of the (DESIRE) research!”
“For your sake, I can’t say.”
“Then I’ll investigate myself.”
“Have you not listened to all my warnings? I understand you want to write an exclusive story, but you’re putting your life in danger.”
Kasmi is like coaxing a disobedient child. But I’m serious.
“It’s not that. I’m not trying to write some scoop and get a commendation.”
“So, why are you getting into this mess?”
“Because I’m going to tell the world the truth. If the consortium develops inhumane weapons, then I’m going to publicize it and let the world judge whether it’s right or wrong.”
Anyone who has studied history knows that there has hardly been a time in human history when there was no war. Also, the biggest victims are the common people. Not only do I not allow the existence of strategic weapons, but I also do not forgive those who develop them.
“You’ll lose your life!”
“Kasmi, I’m a reporter.” I just said lightly.
Kasmi looked me up and down as if reevaluating me. After a moment of silence, Kasmi patted me on the shoulder.
“Al, I seem to have misjudged you. Please work for the truth to come out.”
“I’d be more than happy to.”
Kasmi turned and looked out over the infinite ocean.
“This (DESIRE), conducts research on genetic factors. They are modifying genes, fusing genes that are different from each other, etc… If they are studied seriously, it should be of great benefit to human beings. No, most of the staff are still convinced of this and are working hard on it. But…” For some reason, Kasumi turned back with a sad expression.
“Behind the scenes, they are engaged in the modification of viruses and the creation of living weapon entities. Despite possessing technology that can save lives, it creates weapons that kill.”
A new virus that kills, living weapons that don’t require soldiers… With these weapons, the country would not be weakened even in the event of a war. There’s no need to purchase large quantities of weapons or to spend money on training soldiers. Even though it’s expensive, it’s an attractive weapon for those in power. I stared in the direction of the Desire Institute.
“Al, have you noticed? There aren’t any small birds or animals on this island.”
“Birds and critters?” I thought back to how this place looked during the day.
“Right! That’s why I have that feeling!”
I can see why there was that sense of incongruity on the runway at the beginning; it’s reasonably impossible to see seabirds on an island with such a beautiful setting.
“You sure found out.”
“It’s not enough to realize. It’s just a strange feeling…”
“That’s enough.” Kasmi picked up the small stone and threw it into the sea.
“The original victims were the creatures that inhabited the island. The samples in the experiment escaped to expel the creatures on the island. Al, do you believe in such things as sharks being pounced upon by small fish?”
A sharp chill ran through my body. It’s because Na and Cheryl had just come here for a swim in the middle of the day. …I understand why sea bathing is prohibited in Desiree.
“Fortunately, the subjects have all lost their reproductive functions and will not reproduce. However, the lifespan is unknown. As a result, it is rumored that some staff members have lost their lives to the experimental bodies.”
“It’s really poorly managed. Wasn’t this place built by gathering the essence of the Consortium’s cutting-edge technology?”
“That I also suspect. Together with the cause of death of the staff, they were all put off as death by accident or illness. According to the results of undercover investigations, it was learned that it is highly probable that the sample animals were deliberately released.”
“Deliberately? You’re saying someone is deliberately destroying the ecosystem?”
“Al, think about this side of the research. The so-called ‘Integration of Environment and Humanity’ asserts that human damage to the environment is within tolerance. Also, new ecosystems created by humans as well.”
“I see. What’s going on here is an experiment in human godhood!”
“Literary performance aside, it’s roughly right. The purpose of Prof. Gustav Stradovic is indeed this. Prof. Gustav Stratovic’s purpose was indeed the same. To do so, he needed to build a research facility (DESIRE) that was several times more powerful than the previous institute. However, the hardliners did not agree to use the money for that purpose and even wanted to interrupt his research.
After that, the professor died in an accident.”
“Very suspicious!” Kasmi nodded quietly.
“As far as the claim of murder within the consortium is concerned, the budget proposed by the hardliners is too large. All it takes is a little thought to realize that there is an inside story.”
“That is, weapon development?” Kasmi picked up the stone again and threw it into the sea.
“Experiments with living weapons are still ongoing, but virus development is complete. All efforts are now being poured into creating a virus vaccine to be sold to the victimized countries.”
What a shame. I curse them through clenched teeth.
“Kasmi… do you have proof?”
“I’ll have it all collected by tomorrow night.” Kasmi’s eyes looked in the direction of the institute.
“Won’t it be too late by the time you bring the information back? Isn’t there a way to notify the company early?”
“Yes, there is, it’s using the communications equipment in Hangar One. There’s no problem using the FAX there.”
“That means using one of the three control systems Reiko mentioned!”
“Not bad at all. I already know the code to use.”
I remember that in the back section of Silvia’s room. Because I was right next to the controls, and Silvia was happily showering with me.
“As expected of Kasmi, that’s very thoughtful. Then, meet me there tomorrow.” I look at Kasmi and extend my right hand to her. Kasmi holds my hand.
“I was going to tell you in more detail.”
“It can’t be helped, someone’s coming.”
In our line of sight, Makoto and Silvia appear. Kasmi bites her ear at me.
“What Chrissy said should not be mentioned to anyone. For it is not yet clear who is friend or foe.”
“I know.”
I looked at the people walking over. There was Makoto, Silvia, Reiko, and Kyle and Ariana. Including Makoto, it’s really hard to guess who exactly is the enemy. Aerina passed me expressionlessly and crouched down next to the fallen Chris.
“Instant death… what happened?” Ignoring my presence, Ariana asked Kasmi.
“Chris tried to kill Al, look at his neck. Since there was no other way to stop it, the only way was to shoot him.” Kasmi answered fluently as if explaining the case to the police.
“Yeah? That means that you took self-defense in order to protect Elle, right? But I think that tomorrow the Chief Supervisor, Professor Stella, will ask you for details of the circumstances that transpired.” After Reiko finished speaking to Kasmi, she took out a handkerchief and covered Chris’ face, whether that was an act of mourning the dead or just her hypocrisy, I don’t know.
“Al… what’s going on?” Someone tugged on my sleeve, and the person who asked me, was Makoto.
“I… I have no idea at all.”
“Why would Chris want to kill you?”
“…and I don’t know.”
What I said was extremely perfunctory, and none of it touched the core of the incident. Although it was taken for granted, Makoto threw a sad look at me.
“Al, you’re lying. I know that.”
I felt a pain in my chest like I was being plowed through. Makoto saw through my lies. But I couldn’t help but keep lying.
“Al… there’s something you’re not telling me.”
“You’re hiding more things from me.” I blame Makoto in turn in order to vent my pain.
“…” Makoto didn’t answer me. An uncomfortable silence surrounded us both.
At this point, I painfully felt that the distance from the real piano had gradually drawn away.
Leaving Reiko and Irena at the scene, we left the beach. Although I was interested in the conversations of the other women, I was on a mission to find Na’s whereabouts. Near the runway, I left without saying goodbye to Makoto.
“If it’s not at the institute, we’ll have to look for it at the medical center.” After I finished talking to myself, I took a step towards the institute.
If I had met Dr. Gates first, I would have been confronted by him about my lack of protection, and he would have taken Na away from me later.
I had to save the most suspicious for last. It didn’t take long to realize that I was right. Because Na was coming from the direction of the Institute. Professor Stella was with her. The two of them, wearing identical collars, looked like a mother and daughter.
” Na!”
“Ah! It’s Al!” Na came running and gave me a strong hug.
“This child scared me by running inside the institute.” An elegant smile appeared on Professor Stella’s face.
” Na lost.”
“Because you don’t listen and run around. Promise Al you won’t in the future?”
“Eh!”
I caressed Na’s head.
“Al…”
“Ah, yes.” At the professor’s call, I was at a loss for words. As expected, I can’t do anything with people like the professor the most.
“Can’t leave, Neyo!”
I don’t know what she means. It’s probably not the professor who’s being mean to Na!
“I know. Whatever happens, I’ll protect Na.”
Professor Strahl showed a disconcerting smile and walked past me. It’s not yet known who Kasmi says is friend or foe. But the person who transformed Chris was the professor. Professor Stella is the enemy. In my mind, though, I prayed that Professor Strah was not my enemy.
The opportunity for destiny has finally arrived.
Al, you must have no idea why I would do such a thing.
Al, I want you to know the truth. I want you to understand everything.
I want you to forgive me.
But that’s impossible. The Al I know must…
