Chapter 175: Researcher Mikuria

Chapter 175 Researcher Mikuria

When I was out of the bathroom, I found my equipment stashed on the shelf nearby . Clean and neat .

I put them on back quickly, and returned to where Mikuria was .

Kairos should be there as well .

Sure enough, there they were, talking to each other while looking at the monitor . Noticing my presence, Kairos beckoned me to join them .

[Fate, come here . Let me show you something good]

Unlike before, Mikuria had a smile on her face this time . It seemed that this information was free to be disclosed to others .

What will you show me? Im kinda looking forward to it now,

[Isnt this the sketch of the research facility]

[Whats with that flat reaction?]

I was disappointed . Here I am expecting to see a Gallian technology I hadnt seen before .

And it turned out its just a sketch . Please return my excitement .

[Whats with that disappointed look? This is the research facilitys floor plan! Things like this are usually super secret stuff! You shouldve reacted like, This, Mikuria-sama! Thank you very much! or something along that line . Right, Mikuria?]

[You silly! Always acting like that]

Mikuria slapped the back of Kairos head, then sighed .

[Just ignore this guy . Anyways, this is why I called you guys in . ]

The location she pointed to was somewhere in the research facility basement . When she touched the floor plan on that spot, the enlarged image of that area was displayed so that its easier to see .

[There is nothing there . ]

[Yes, at least if shown like this . But if I do this . ]

Mikuriya operated the UI quickly, invoking another feature to the floor plan .

The sketch suddenly changed .

Showing a 3 dimensional model of the room .

[This what is this?]

[I called you guys in to inspect this place . There are more people than planned, but that shouldnt matter?]

The woman turned to Kairos as she said that, then smiled .

[It sounds easy to just look it up, but I want to know in detail what youre actually looking for . We are talking about you after all, so its gotta be something dangerous . Is there something we need to defeat there?]

[Yes, indeed . Id like you to kill it if possible but considering Kairos skill, it might be dangerous to kill something you know nothing of . ]

[Theyll end up eaten too bad . ]

[Give it up . One day youll end up with a skill that turns you to a real monster . I dont want . to see that end . ]

[I told you itll be just fine]

[Haa Fate, say something to this fool here as well . ]

Ive seen Kairos fights up until now . He didnt seem to have trouble with the Gluttony skill anymore than I do . In fact, he seemed to react less than I usually do after devouring a soul .

Im currently able to withstand Gluttony skill mostly thanks to Lunas help .

Without her, I may not be alive and well like right now . I mightve been taken over by the Gluttony skill after killing the Tenryu in Gallia .

[No worries . Ive been doing well with the Gluttony skill, Im fine with eating large dishes lately . I dont feel hungry all that often anymore . I mean, is this not how it feels like to be in full control of the Gluttony skill?]

[Thats nonsense . It is by no means something that can be controlled . On the contrary it makes me scared . The skill has been causing you pain all this time . Why would it suddenly become docile?]

[Isnt it a good thing? This way I can fight to my best . Ive changed for the better]

[You havent . You havent changed at all . Look at this . ]

The display changed into some sort of a report on Kairos body condition .

The numbers appearing there were extremely abnormal . Its similar to the report Raine showed me back in the capital .

Apparently Kairos is actually in an even worse condition than I am .

[Its a miracle that youre still alive . This is the other reason why I call you to come here . ]

[Im too busy to be bother by that . ]

[Dont be like that . Once you are done investigating the underground floor, Ill arrange something for Kairos . Must do everything we can . Even within this facility, there are many who are dissatisfied with the method the Empire had adopted . You do need power, but the most important thing here is time . What if something goes wrong with Kairos core when it really counts?]

Being told off relently like that, Kairos scratched his head in defeat .

[I get it already . Ill adjust somehow . Makes me wonder if youre on my side or not . ]

[Right . ]

From my point of view, shes obviously on your side .

At first only a small amount of food was assigned there, so nobody really noticed it from the data check . But recently, a large amount has been sent over .

[If I have to guess, it must be some sort of a biological weapon . And its growing rapidly . ]

[Then it might get even more dangerous if left alone . ]

[Please dont . Other than me, there are many other people who would be willing to side with Kairos . What we need now is time . Besides, the information regarding this underground chamber has never been made known to the majority of the researchers, including myself . We can use this to pull those people to us . ]

[Is that so? I dont think its gonna be that easy . People in this research facility barely see the likes of me as human being after all]

[Its in the past . I used to forget myself . But here I am now working with you . ]

[TskMikuria]

[Yes, now take this . ]

What Mikuria handed over was a syringe gun . A compact palm-sized one .

[There . Fate, you take it . ]

Kairos nonchalantly tossed the syringe gun to me .

[Hey, you! That was for Kairos!]

[You know that I may have to fight in an emergency . Its not the right time to use that . ]

[Please dont . If you fight, this entire place will be demolished . ]

[But we have you here . Before that happens, the entire personnel wouldve already been taking shelter or evacuating . Ill be looking forward to that, Miss Deputy Director]

[You fine then . Go quickly . The surveillance system may not detect you, but please dont let anyone find you . ]

She also gave us a portable version of the floor plan . But of course, Kairos tossed it to me as well .

[Please . You show the way . Im not all that good in reading a map]

[Are you direction blind?]

[If I am, then how did I guide you to this facility?]

He got a point there .

I guess he just finds it troublesome .

I also understand why Kairos entrusted the map to me . Going to the next room, I took a look at Myne who hadnt showed up at all earlier .

[She fell asleep?]

A true warrior must be able to rest at any given situation and place .

Myne told me that before .

She fought Kairos, got beaten and became a prisoner, then pushed to work together . If its me, I wont be able to sleep with how fast the situation kept changing .

I thought as I gently placed my hand on Mynes forehead .

[Why are you trapped in here? Whats wrong? The time you spend with Kairos . Is that what you want to show me? Myne . . ]

The person in question continued to sleep .

After a while, she turned away as if trying to brace herself from being beaten .

[ . . sorry . Im really sorry . Ill keep that in mindI was wrong]

Was she dreaming of being punished by someone? Instead of the emotionless woman I was more familiar with, shes showing a pained look on her face now .
