Akasa Inc.

After Melaine, Chi, and Rekka left the room to start the research on Esper’s blood, Mizuki went back to the Akasa Inc. building with the help of Hotaru.

There were a few things that had yet to be done in this place. Firstly, the research on the nukes was not done yet, though it was already at the final stage.

They had already found the material that was used to create the nukes; now, they just needed to track it down to find who fired the nukes at them at the press conference.

Secondly, she needed to prepare a weapon for war. Moon of Akasha had around a thousand members including the subordinates of Melaine, Chi, and Hyun-Woo, as well as Akasa Inc. guards that basically became a part of the Moon of Akasha.

Hyun-Woo had created a mercenary group that worked under him in the last two years without Naomi knowing.

They worked silently while taking orders from Hyun-Woo’s subordinates in Luna Corporation and tried their best to stay away from the Moon of Akasha so no one could track their origins.

So the weapon needed to arm them was a lot, as most mercenaries were only ordinary people, not Espers.

“Miss Hotaru, thank you for helping me.” Said Mizuki.

They were in Mizuki’s office on the top floor of the building.

Hotaru had volunteered herself to help Mizuki in preparing the weapons for war. Her Teleportation ability proved to be useful for running an errand and informed the allies that were hiding in the area near South Korea.

“It’s not a problem, umm, Lady Mizuki. I am happy to help.”

“I see. Then, can you follow me to the underground floor? I believe Tetsuma is monitoring the progress of our research there.”

“Sure. So this building has an underground floor?”

“Yes. It’s mainly used for weapon research. Though it is now used to research the nukes.”

The two of them entered the elevator, and Mizuki pressed a certain button that let them go to the underground area.

“Those nukes… Did you already find the one who fired the nukes?” Asked Hotaru, a bit terrified. She was terrified when she saw the nukes making their way to the press conference.

Although she was not there on that day, hearing the news already terrified her.

She had heard about the destruction that the nukes brought. It could destroy a city or two with just one nuke.

However, what was scary about nukes was not the destruction but the after-effect.

Naomi was far scarier than the nukes if it was about destruction. But she couldn’t replicate the nukes’ after-effects.

The area that was blown by nukes would be filled with radioactive stuff, making that area uninhabitable by humans.

“Not yet. But I think we can make progress tomorrow after the research about Esper’s blood is done. Because… we found a human’s DNA inside the liquid inside the nukes. A country where the nukes came from must’ve done some human research too, which is really sickening.”

“…”

Hotaru couldn’t say anything about that.

After a while, the elevator stopped, and the door opened once again. Mizuki stepped out first, followed by Hotaru.

They arrived in a long hallway with walls made from steel. The hallway was around 2 meters wide and 2 meters tall.

Mizuki had noticed the change in Hotaru’s expression, so she reassured her. “Don’t think too much about it. Those experiments are unexpectedly common in industries such as pharmacy and others. However, that doesn’t mean such experiments should be allowed on normal people. Criminals that were sentenced to death were the ones who should be used as a test subject.”

“…Does Akasa Inc. also do human experiments?”

Mizuki stopped in her tracks and looked at Hotaru with a small smile.

“We did not… I wanted to answer that, but it’s practically impossible... My husband and some of his friends volunteered themselves to be used in the experiments. However, we make sure that nothing will happen to them beforehand.”

“…”

Once again, Hotaru realized that the world wasn’t too kind. Even the company that she trusted the most did human experiments, too, although they didn’t kill anyone.

“Is it really impossible?”

“It is not. But, people wanted to gain success. They will try to use everything, even if it means that they will be sacrificing their humanity in order to reach their goal.”

Hotaru gritted their teeth at the fact.

Mizuki smiled at her. She was really glad that Naomi was surrounded by kind people, such as Hotaru, who cared about the others.

She put her hand on Hotaru’s shoulder.

“Well, as I said, don’t think too much about it. Isn’t Naomi making a move because of that? I believe those human experiments would stop as soon as we finished with the Esper Association. Maybe one or two will continue their research, but we can hunt them at that time.”

“Yes.” Hotaru nodded her head, and they continued walking.

After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a big steel door with a lot of locks. There was a square screen in front of the door.

Mizuki put her right hand on top of the square screen and said. “Akasa Mizuki. Our Naomi is the cutest girl in the world.”

Creak– Zst– Squeak–

As soon as she said that, the door started to make a creaking and squeaking noise as the locks began to undo themselves.

Hotaru was speechless when she heard what Mizuki said. She looked at her in disbelief.

“M-May I ask why you said that sentence earlier?”

Mizuki looked at Hotaru with a teasing smile. “Fufufu, that’s the password to open the door. Please keep it a secret from Naomi.” She put her index finger in front of her lips.

Honestly, Hotaru was so terrified with her smile that she nodded her head repeatedly. “I-I will keep it a secret!”

After a few seconds, the creaking sound ended, and the door opened automatically.

Hotaru looked at the room beyond the door. It was a massive room with a lot of equipment.

There were some big machines making squeaking sounds. Not only that, a lot of weapons were moving on an automatic belt, making their way to the first floor through the hole in the ceiling.

A lot of people were working while using safety helmets and equipment. Even with a lot of big machines, the crowd of people who surrounded the nukes in the center of the room was catching Hotaru’s attention.

Mizuki then proudly stated. “Welcome to the research area of Akasa Inc.”
