"It's about the cleanup of the 'Absolute Metahuman Project'. Or to put it simply, it's about where Mikoto's clones should go."
I took a sip of the coffee in front of me and let out a long sigh after confirming that there wasn't any highly concentrated engine fuel added into the coffee. Then, I leaned back on the sofa and said.
Mikoto immediately lifted her head, but Fang Tong on the other side spoke first, "Pfft, don't you just want to take that brat away? I don't care where you guys came from or what you want to do. In short, if you want to take that brat away, don't even think about it! "
Then, Mikoto immediately revealed a surprised expression. She quickly glanced at the white-haired young man who she had always regarded as her biggest enemy and the scariest threat. This guy who had caused her to be immersed in nightmares for such a long time actually … said such words?
"Alright, alright. It seems like you have some sort of prejudice against us." I waved my hand helplessly. "That's normal. It's impossible for anyone to have a good impression of the attackers after being bombarded by an entire army for half an hour. However, I think that we should talk about it openly. That incident was just a small accident. Right now, what we need to do is to protect the girls who were involved in the experiment — — including the brat that you mentioned."
After Fang Tong heard what I said, he stared at me with his murky red eyes. After a long while, he said gloomily, "Small … accident!? You monsters, the lives and deaths of humans are just a child's joke to you, right? You aren't even human! What right do you have to jump out and act as a savior? I don't care where you hid the clones, but I definitely won't let go of that brat! "
After two seconds of silence, I suddenly laughed, "I never thought that the legendary Fang Tong would actually be a determined protector of humans. However, I have to reiterate once again that the incident that day was just an accident. Visca's attack on you was completely your own doing!"
Hearing that, not only Fang Tong, but even Mikoto and Lei revealed a surprised expression. The power of women's gossip was burning. The two girls showed an expression that they had to listen to it. As for the mini version of Mikoto who was left in the room — we could ignore her.
I looked at Ichikawa and then at Mikoto. In the end, I sighed.
This was something that Visca had requested of her own volition. Not only did she want to clear up the misunderstanding between Yitou and Mikoto, but she also wanted Osaka and Mikoto to truly be at ease about their younger sisters' futures. Moreover, it was also a way for her to prove that she had already walked out of that shadow.
"Visca is a victim of a similar experiment."
"I don't want to tell you the details, but I think you've seen Pandora before, Mikoto. Did you notice that they look exactly the same?"
Mikoto nodded. Then, she suddenly thought of something and was shocked. "I thought they were just twins who looked alike …"
"Visca is a duplicate of Pandora. She was born even earlier than Osaka's sisters … and she is the only one among the tens of thousands of duplicates that survived. Do you think the attack you received that day was too much? Do you think that my sister did something wrong? I can tell you right now, if it wasn't for Lei and her friends, I would have destroyed this planet just because of what you said! "
After I said that, the room fell into a long period of silence. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Don't mention this in front of Visca. Even if she says that she doesn't mind, I don't want anyone to hurt my sister for such a senseless reason."
Fang Tong remained silent. Finally, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "As long as you take good care of that brat, I will apologize. Or, you can do whatever you want to me."
This time, it was my turn to be shocked. This guy in front of me was really Yitou? Could he really have been transmigrated by a mythical creature named Yuriko Suzuko? That insolent, violent, and twisted young man, come back!!
However, this time, I really changed my view of Fang Tong. I didn't expect his final work to be so important in his heart. I also didn't expect that he would actually apologize. Of course, this was also related to Visca's situation. The Absolute Metahuman Project had allowed him to personally create a hell, and the person who suffered the most in this hell was probably himself.
Mikoto also looked at Fang Tong, whose face was completely buried in the shadow of his hair, with a strange expression. This young man in front of her had always been a nightmarish existence in her heart. Other than fear and hatred, she had never had any other thoughts about him. But now, she realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something.
"We will take good care of every little sister Osaka. You should already know that we don't come from this world, especially you, Yitou. After seeing the power of the Imperial Army, you should have a direct understanding of our power. With the power of the Imperial Army, it is relatively easy to protect them. I can even build a free city for them!"
"I hope so." Fang Tong lifted his head and looked at me through the gaps of his hair. "Anyway, I am very clear that it is unrealistic to go against you monsters. If you can really do what you said, then …"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Why didn't you ask for Osaka's opinion! Osaka Osaka finally found a chance to interrupt. He jumped up and down eagerly to express his opinion! "
The miniature Osaka who had been watching from the side finally found a chance to speak. He immediately grabbed Fang Tong's clothes and jumped up and down anxiously.
"Hey! Let go! " Yitou Fang Tong impatiently tried to grab the miniature Osaka who was climbing up like a little monkey. However, he didn't succeed no matter how hard he tried. The latter's agility was really amazing. "Let go, you brat who doesn't understand the situation! These beings from other dimensions are very dangerous … "
Bastard! You are the one from another dimension, your whole family is from another dimension! How many times has it been! It's fine if Zuo Tianlei and the others say that, but you actually dare to say such forbidden words in front of me too, bastard!
I stood up angrily with a gloomy expression. I raised my hand and pressed it down — — on Osaka 20001's head.
"Little lass, be obedient. We won't hurt you …"
Tears flowed down from the sofa at the side.
Osaka 20001 nimbly escaped from my hand. Then, he bowed politely towards me and said with a cute and tender voice, "Firstly, Osaka has already obtained a lot of information from the lower Osaka, as well as the blessed city that you have prepared for them. Thus, Osaka Osaka would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Osaka Osaka bowed politely as he said seriously. However, Osaka Osaka doesn't want to leave this person's side. Osaka Osaka immediately added."
"En? Why? "
I asked curiously. Although Fangtong had an indifferent expression on his face, his ears immediately perked up.
"Because if Osaka Osaka were to leave, this person would definitely be very worried. Although he's just an idiot who isn't good at expressing himself, this person is more afraid of loneliness than anyone else. Osaka Osaka Osaka is very clear about this, so Osaka Osaka hopes to stay by this person's side. Otherwise, this person wouldn't have anyone to accompany him anymore. Osaka Osaka tries to imitate the tone of the female lead in the dramas, but due to many reasons, the effect isn't very good …"
"This brat …"
Fangtong lowered his head deeply as he mumbled something unintelligible.
"Idiot … It's fine to just leave. With those fellows protecting you, no one would be able to hurt you. For someone like me, it's fine no matter what happens …"
"You make it sound like I'm a bad person, forcefully breaking up the beautiful life between a lolicon and a loli …"
I muttered to myself, and Fangtong immediately shot dagger-like glances at me.
"Fangtong, if you're willing to accept the Empire's protection, you can come with us. But before that, we'll give you a certain degree of 'insurance'. Of course, you can remain silent about this, because if you don't remain silent, no one will listen to you."
"You … are you serious? You're all really idiots to do such an unnecessary thing … "
"The first law of the new colony." I stood up and waved my hand to block off Fangtong's mental energy. Then, I grabbed him with one hand. "Get rid of your arrogant temper. Your ticket wasn't originally included in our budget."
A few minutes later, the matter was successfully resolved. Fangtong was dragged by the miniaturized Osaka to visit the 'Alien Breeding Tank of a Person from a Different Dimension.' Speaking of which, was there really such a suspicious thing in this place? Only the three of us were left in the reception room.
"No matter what, I'll never forgive that fellow."
These were Mikoto's exact words after she found out what had happened.
Of course, this was normal. There was a limit to a person's tolerance. Even a kind-hearted girl like Mikoto wouldn't easily forgive Fangtong who had killed over ten thousand of her younger sisters even though her hatred for him had already been alleviated.
I raised the coffee cup in front of me and swirled it. "Now, out of sight, out of mind. I guarantee that Fangtong will stay in our territory obediently and every one of his younger sisters will receive the best care."
"That's the only way." Mikoto nodded in resignation. "Speaking of which, how many people are you planning to take away from this world? Forget about the ten thousand clones that can't see the light of day, you're even going to take away a public figure like Level 5? Won't it cause chaos? "
"Chaos? Of course, a certain old fox won't be able to sit still. But it doesn't matter, I can settle it. "
I said nonchalantly. Speaking of chaos, the old fox had already started planning for it the moment we arrived. Now, we were just taking advantage of the chaos.
Even though I said that, I was still surprised to receive a message from Aresta that afternoon. I didn't think that the old fox's patience would be exhausted so quickly.
It was still the same gloomy room that resembled an ancient tomb. There were crisscrossing wires and equipment, a low buzzing sound, a tube filled with formalin, and a man who was interdependent with the tube. Every time I saw Aresta, I couldn't help but ridicule him in my head. From a certain point of view, the taste of this fellow in front of me could be considered to be quite artistic.
I sat calmly on the gold-plated dragon chair that I snatched from Lin Xue. I looked at the man in front of me playfully. "Aresta, I didn't think that you would react so quickly. I thought that you would be calmer. For example, you would continue to plot against us in secret."
This time, Aresta's silence lasted for a longer period of time than usual. I reckoned that the reason why he would remain silent for a while every time I spoke to him was because he was desperately trying to convert what I said. I was rather clear about my unreliability and this miraculous trait made Aresta feel miserable every time I spoke to him.
"Outsider, your recent actions have indeed made me feel a certain sense of danger. Thus, perhaps we should have an open and honest discussion."
"Alright, alright, open and honest, open and honest. Then, the first condition is for you to stop playing your little tricks. You see, we can't talk about this. I don't have any conflict of interest with you, but you seem to be used to scheming to make things go according to your will. I don't like such things, especially this time — — Sylvia's matter."
Aresta's voice didn't seem to fluctuate at all. "That was indeed a small accident. Everything wasn't always under my control. I had no choice but to let you guys take action. In fact, regarding the outcome of the Queen's Fleet being destroyed in an instant by your hands, I was rather shocked. Such a powerful force was truly out of my expectations."
I wasn't surprised that Aresta knew about the situation. Even though he was thousands of miles away, to these old monsters, it was as easy as counting their fingers to know about every corner of the world. Not only Aresta, I'm afraid that on the second day after the Queen's Fleet was destroyed, Rolla also received first-hand information. It's just that the former would view us as a threat that was difficult to control, while the latter would be more loyal.
Seeing that I had no intention of continuing the conversation, Aresta didn't feel awkward. Instead, he directly stated his motive. "So, since the matter has been resolved, can you send that girl back? She is a resident of the academy city and should return to our protection. "
I raised my eyebrows. "So you want to talk about Sylvia. I thought you wanted to talk about a one-way ticket."
"A one-way ticket? That Level 5? Could it be that you guys have taken some actions against him recently? Another large-scale attack and hunt? "
"No, I intend to take him in."
The various equipment in the surroundings rang for a while before it gradually calmed down.
"Outsider, I hope that you remember your previous promise. I only allowed you to stay here, but the premise is that you don't do anything unnecessary. Now, you seem to be doing too much."
I didn't speak and only looked at him in silence. Only when I estimated that his patience had run out did I smile. "You can say whatever you want. A one-way ticket and all of the Osaka clones will be taken in. You are well aware of the trouble caused by the Absolute Metahuman project. On this point, I have decided to act according to my own preferences."
Aresta didn't reply immediately. I knew that he definitely wouldn't agree to this matter easily. Previously, handing over all of the Osaka clones to us had already crossed his bottom line. The Osaka network was an extremely important part of the artificial heaven project. Handing such an important thing over to a group of outsiders of unknown origins was already a rather dangerous matter. However, he still chose to agree to it. That was because no matter where the Osaka sisters were in this world, the Osaka network that they had established would never disappear, nor would it break away from his control unless we killed all of the clones. This was obviously impossible. However, recently, the continuous disappearance of the Osaka sisters from the network had probably attracted his attention. He might not have guessed something as nonsensical as' interception of signals across space and time ', but he had definitely raised his guard against us.
Under such circumstances, he couldn't wait to regret handing over the Osaka sisters to us, not to mention handing over another One-Way Passage — even though the latter was only a chess piece to him.
However, after hesitating for a long while, the voice that sounded around me was far beyond my expectations. "Since she is also suffering from the repercussions of that plan, if you are willing to accept her, I can only agree. After all, this is the original agreement."
I looked at him in surprise and waited quietly for him to continue.
As expected, Aresta immediately brought up the matter of Sylvia. "However, I also hope that you can hand over the girl that you rescued to the protection of the academy city as soon as possible. I believe that you don't have a reason to keep an ordinary person like her, right?"
"Ordinary person?" No matter what, it was impossible for us to hand over Sylvia. "You really dare to say that we have long discovered Sylvia's uniqueness. Are you surprised? Are you surprised that we didn't meet with any trouble at all? I have reminded you countless times not to beat around the bush when communicating with us. It's useless! "
"Outsiders, I really can't understand your way of doing things. Even if that girl is special, it should be the internal affairs of our academy city. You have no right to interfere …"
"It's simple, we are curious."
I spread my hands at Aresta, indicating that this matter was off the table. Then, I instantly disappeared from the room.
Of course, it was another meeting that ended on bad terms.
However, I believed that the old fox definitely wouldn't be at ease just like that. Sylvia seemed to occupy a relatively important position in his plans. Her value seemed to be far above that of a One-Way Passage. In the next few days, it seemed that there was a need to strengthen the security of the research institute.
That is, if Aresta was really stupid enough to directly charge into the research institute.
It was already the hottest time in Japan. Although it was close to evening, the heat in the air had not dissipated at all. Although he had already used his mental strength to disperse some of the heat energy around him, looking at the pedestrians and shop assistants who were lazing around in the heat still made him feel irritated from the bottom of his heart.
Irritation, extremely irritable, as though something terrible was about to happen.
