For Officer Furuya, things were getting a little bad.
Originally, to avoid alerting the enemy, especially since Miyano Akemi had only recently left the organization, the rescue of Miyano Shiho had to be carried out with caution.
However, they still underestimated the organization's exploitation of Shiho Miyano.
Yes, it can only be described as "exploitation".
After all, no reputable company or organization would force an employee to continue working when a relative of that employee has passed away.
Moreover, the cause of death of this employee's relative was vaguely connected to the "company".
Narita and Nishimura, who were peripheral members of the organization, revealed everything they knew shortly after being taken to the security headquarters by Furuya Rei.
According to Officer Furuya's later account, no interrogation methods were even used.
Yoruichi thought to himself, those two must have been scared out of their wits by the fact that they were going to the Security Department instead of the Metropolitan Police Department.
However, the information they can provide is extremely limited. It might be better for Furuya Rei to go back to the brewery as "Bourbon" and inquire about it.
In short, even these low-level thugs have heard that Sherry, a core researcher who was originally highly valued by the boss, has recently had a very unpleasant falling out with Gin, another backbone member of the organization, and they seem to be irreconcilable enemies.
Rumors spread that it was because Gin had personally executed a member who had betrayed the organization, and that member happened to be Sherry's biological sister.
Gin can basically be considered the person in charge of field affairs in the Tokyo area.
People like Narita still tend to side with him, and Nishimura even regards him as a role model, constantly imitating the words and actions of "Gin the Boss".
In their view, the whole incident was proof of Sherry's betrayal.
For example, the drug given to them, intended for Kindaichi and the others, was supposed to be APTX4869, but it was replaced with sleeping pills.
As for the actual drug A, neither of them knew the exact amount in stock, so they had no way of knowing whether "Shirley" took it with her when she left, or how much she took.
And where "Sherry" might go.
Even Akemi Miyano would find it difficult to judge this.
She and her sister no longer have a "home".
...
When Shiho Miyano woke up, she felt sore and weak all over, and could hardly even lift a finger.
But the shock in my heart far outweighed the physical pain.
In all the animal experiments conducted over such a long period of time, and in the cases where Gin and his ilk forcibly applied it to real-world murders to cover up crimes, there has not been a single documented case of anyone surviving after taking APTX4869.
...No, maybe!
Upon realizing this, Shiho Miyano seemed to forget everything and suddenly sat up.
There was another wave of intense pain and discomfort, but my body... felt much lighter?
With a feeling that was neither resistance nor anticipation, she stretched her hand out in front of her eyes and examined it carefully.
Those were small, adorable, and chubby hands, with even tiny dents on the back of them.
Shiho Miyano herself has a slender and tall figure, and her hands are also in similar proportions.
I remember my sister once remarking with regret that she hadn't let me learn piano.
……elder sister……
When she thought of that word, Shiho Miyano felt a dull pain in her chest.
Unlike muscle pain, that comes from deeper areas.
She no longer has a sister...
But she, Shiho Miyano, is indeed still alive...
After being momentarily distracted by the sudden sadness, Shiho Miyano forced herself to regain her composure and continued to examine her body.
Judging from the bones, those small hands belonged to a young child, about 6 to 8 years old.
This bears a striking resemblance to data from a previous experiment.
Out of excitement, she simply jumped off the bed and stood on the floor—only to discover that her short legs meant she could only use "jumping" to make the transfer.
The bed was almost up to her chest.
Of course, it should be considered that this bed is Western-style, with a Simmons mattress, and it is not too low.
Based on this, it is estimated that her current height is between 105 and 110 centimeters.
Although this explains a lot, Shiho Miyano, who is always serious, still wants to make a more intuitive judgment.
She walked to the full-length mirror on the cabinet next to her.
The mirror reflected a petite, fair-skinned little girl with striking, beautiful features reminiscent of someone of mixed race, and short, milk-tea-colored hair.
Shiho Miyano stared wide-eyed in surprise, finally seeing that the girl in the mirror had a pair of cool-colored eyes that were somewhere between blue and green.
That's not her, it's Shiho Miyano, a core member of that organization and a scientific genius!
But that really was what she looked like when she was 7 years old?
Shiho Miyano doesn't quite remember what she looked like as a child, and even if she had photos taken back then, she doesn't have them now.
In short, as long as this mirror isn't some kind of funhouse mirror designed to play tricks on people... which is obviously impossible...
Then she really did get smaller!
Just like in a previous experiment on mice, the test animals reverted to their juvenile state.
And she, Shiho Miyano, a living, breathing person, has also returned to being a 7-year-old child.
Was this a success or a failure in developing that terrifying drug?
With feelings even more complicated than before, Shiho Miyano looked at herself in the mirror again.
It seemed that only then did she realize that she was wearing children's pajamas.
Fortunately, it was a very ordinary type, a light creamy yellow with some white claw patterns on it, which weren't very noticeable.
