Year 1 Launch 19
The brown-haired girl stormed down the corridor angrily, her target clearly being the laboratory of the man whom she once respected as a brother.
The corridor seemed particularly long at this moment. Even though the laboratory had moved from the Lighthouse Country to Neon, some similar architectural structures were still retained. The researchers coming and going seemed to be wearing black and white pantomime masks, with exaggerated expressions on their grins. The closer they got to their destination, the more frightened Miyano Shiho became. Anger and fear were entangled in her heart. The girl who had just turned eighteen still held some glimmer of hope, whether it was about Miyano Shiho or about Alvin.
Her trembling hand had already touched the door of Alvin's laboratory. A familiar voice came from the slightly open door. Miyano Shiho recognized that it was Julian's voice. The boy, who had not yet experienced voice change, had a familiar and childish tone. He said.
"Is this today's medicine, brother?"
The second shoe has dropped.
Miyano Shiho suddenly opened the door of the laboratory. The violent impact made her hands numb. The experimental assistant in the background gave her strange looks. She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently, her lip shape constantly changing, but not a single byte came out.
"...What's wrong? Shiho?" Alvin was a little surprised. He stood up from the chair and put the syringe in his hand aside. It was empty. Julian rolled up his sleeves. The assistant cleaned up the scene in time. The red-haired man showed a concerned expression. The lively brother jumped and acted coquettishly with his sister. "What happened?"
“Pah—”
Alvin was stunned by this, and so were the assistants present. Perhaps only Miyano Shiho was not stunned. She pulled Julian into her arms with a vicious force, and protected the boy with all her strength. She asked Alvin with a bit of madness, "You... do you really know what you are doing, Kelver!"
The genius girl who had been protesting against human experiments even under the pressure of the organization cried out to her family. Julian felt the strength of her trembling with some confusion, "Are you blaspheming your self-esteem and principles as a scientific researcher by such behavior that disregards morality and ethics?!" Alvin's figure was reflected in Miyano Shiho's eyes. The glasses on his nose had been crooked because of the force just now. At this moment, he had no intention of reaching out to straighten them. He just watched her go crazy quietly, "Those are living people. You... Have you become a demon like them? In your eyes, even your own kind are just mice?"
"Arts..." Miyano Shiho's tone was filled with sadness and deep disappointment. "Are you going to say it was Artes' idea again this time, Kelver?"
Are you going to put the blame on the phantom in your mind again?
"Sister Shiho..." Julian raised his head in the girl's arms and tried to wipe the tears from her eyes with his sleeve. A few purple pinholes appeared on his wrist. "Why are you crying?" His confused look showed no sign of pretense. "Did you have a fight with your brother?"
"...Well," Miyano Shiho lowered her eyes. Julian's ignorance aroused her heartache even more. "I'm sorry, I scared you, but I just feel a little uncomfortable..."
"You know," Alvin, who had been silent like a statue, finally adjusted his glasses. Miyano Shiho's emotional attack did not cause much harm to him. Researchers had not been trained on how to hurt others. Besides, Alvin was an adult male after all, so he naturally had an advantage when facing a young girl who had just reached adulthood. However, because it was still a short time, the red marks on his face were still very obvious. "It's about your sister."
Otherwise you wouldn't be so self-destructive.
"Indeed," Miyano Shiho gave a sad smile, her eyes full of death, "I understand."
