Chapter 45 About Experiments
The supervisor listened to the two people's back-and-forth conversation and came to a conclusion.
Nakahara Chuuya is a good kid, but good kids suffer a lot and are being morally blackmailed by others.
"Let them go to school."
ah?
Dazai Osamu had no idea what kind of thought process his supervisor had gone through to say such a thing, while Li Xiang was nodding in agreement, almost giving him a thumbs up.
Studying is always better than wasting time on Leibo Street. Fortunately, Liangxiu's family also has two children in school, and they seem much more cheerful than before they started school.
"You go too." That one sentence decided Dazai Osamu's destination.
Good news: No more work. Bad news: Back to school.
"Lord Zhongyuan".
After making up his mind, X called out to the orange-haired boy who was walking ahead:
"Do you want to go to school? If your friends want to go too, I can sponsor you."
With a partnership already established with Spain, the world's currency is now just a number to Lobotomy Corporation, making it easy to sponsor a few orphans' education.
Because Algaria was always by her side, Yuzu didn't dare to make any rash moves. She could only watch helplessly as the doctor in the white coat talked to his colleagues for a while before going to talk to Chuuya.
What did he say? Was he going to take Chuuya away and make him abandon them?
It wasn't until they left the area of Leibo Street that Yuzuki decided she had to keep Nakahara Chuuya there no matter what.
She saw Chuuya take a card-like object from the "doctor" and then say goodbye to them. The white-haired man beside her also left, but Chuuya did not leave directly as she had expected.
"Youxing, what's wrong? Why are you so surprised?"
"...Chuuya,...I am...Look over there, there's a red-haired foreigner."
Is there anything surprising about foreigners? There's no shortage of foreigners in Yokohama, and sure enough, Yuzu is acting very strangely today.
"I have something to discuss with Shirase and the others. Let's go back first."
The orange-haired boy clutched the business card in his hand as if he held a key to the future.
What brings you here?
The red-haired foreigner was sitting on a bench by the street, tossing something up and down. Hearing a familiar voice, he turned around.
As Sancho donned the Nushin, the teeth marks Sancho had left on his face began to fade with time. The Spanish youth winked at X, a malicious smile playing on his lips.
"Dante will come today."
"Dante?" the supervisor asked, puzzled.
"Dante?" Li Xiang asked, puzzled.
"Ah, I forgot you forgot about him too."
After Cervantes's recap, X nodded thoughtfully, grasping the key point:
"You mean, Mr. Dante's special ability is that of a gray-haired man who wields a bright red Roman dagger?"
"right."
That's Vigilius! Guide, Guide, how did you become a superpowered being too?
"Speaking of which, if he finds out that you've completely forgotten him, he might be very sad."
Is this Dante you mentioned serious? Why are you so sad just because you forgot about him?
"He and I are very close?"
"That's awesome! Do you want to pick me up from the airport?"
They really do have a good relationship, and even if it's just one-sidedly super good, it's still super good.
That's why Dante gave me a bear hug; he's so enthusiastic.
Virgilius, who was following behind Dante with a briefcase in his hand, looked at Dante, who had lost his mind again, and his head began to throb. Then he saw a rather conspicuous figure.
The supposedly deceased Color-level Finisher, Azure Echo, reminds me of Carly I saw before. Is X's location a Color-level Finisher's check-in spot?
Dante has already decided to stay in Japan permanently. Unlike Cervantes, who was released, this is a job he wanted himself. After secretly observing Spain and testing the endorphins he brought back, the deal is a done deal.
They were initially reluctant to part with their country's only transcendent being, but he wanted to go anyway. The main reason was that, for some reason, Dante's emotions had been somewhat unstable since returning from Spain. Considering his feelings, they finally let him come as he wished.
In a sense, they are the ones who shouldn't be here. Unlike those who were teleported here, Dante's arrival was officially announced, and the authorities knew he was coming, so they arranged for people to wait for him here in advance.
As a result, they watched helplessly as the important person they were supposed to be receiving walked straight in another direction and grabbed a man who looked like a doctor.
Wait a minute! Was there a transcendent being mixed in there too?
Fortunately, the gray-haired man who was following the important figure looked back at them, put down the box, and walked over.
The gray-haired man, dressed in a striped suit, gave Taneda Santouka the impression of a weathered office worker. The man sighed and began the handover with the foreign superpower management system.
Sure enough, no matter which Dante it was, he had to clean up the mess.
Before leaving, the gray-haired man left behind a remark that at least put everyone's minds at ease.
“Mr. Dante is here to see a friend, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
The Special Abilities Division breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the signal that Dante wouldn't cause trouble. A promise was better than no promise at all, even though they wouldn't have any means to retaliate if Dante did cause trouble.
"Dante...? Can you let go first?"
People were already looking this way, thinking they were being discreet. If he continued hugging, he was afraid he'd end up in some weird news story.
A hint of doubt flickered in Dante's deep green eyes. Why did X's attitude seem so strange? It was a bit like when they first met, when they had only been apart for less than half a month. Was his friendship really that short-lived?
The members of the Special Abilities Division watched the departing Beyonder X2 and decided to head back as well. One of them, dressed in a suit and skirt—a typical professional woman—leaved close to the bald officer's ear and whispered:
"Chief, that white-haired man is the one with superpowers who caused trouble at the port mafia's place before."
This person hadn't appeared in Yokohama since he did that, so they could only make a simple backup file. Unexpectedly, he reappeared.
They were with someone they couldn't afford to mess with. They couldn't see his face clearly before, but this time they could, and he didn't look Japanese. Could he be a new transcendent being?
Furthermore, who exactly is that man who was warmly embraced by Dante, who had traveled all the way to Japan, and who was accompanied by a true transcendent and a suspected transcendent? Is he really just an ordinary person?
Taneda Santouka rubbed his shiny forehead, somewhat troubled. The higher-ups already didn't like the Special Ability Special Agents Division, and they were seizing every opportunity to strike at them. If they found out that dangerous people were heading to Japan one after another, the thought would give him a headache.
It's decided. I'll go back to the station and create a file for that man as well.
Late at night, in an underground base of the Black Organization.
"Still haven't found Vermouth?"
Rum had just ended a call with the BOSS and was severely reprimanded by the angry old man. He said that Rum was a complete waste of space for losing someone right under his nose.
Rum was also furious. Ever since she returned from America, the blonde woman had been holed up in the base like a mouse. Who would have thought that Vermouth, who never even basked in the sun, would go out on her own and never come back!
Also, the BOSS woke up in the middle of the night and contacted him, while he was still sleeping. He hadn't slept much at all during this time because he was looking for Vermouth. He had finally fallen asleep, but the BOSS woke him up again.
Bourbon, too, even though he knew she was behaving so strangely, only submitted a separate report. He had so many things to do every day, how could he possibly have time to look at his report?
Why does everything seem to be going wrong lately? Just as Rum was thinking about whether he should go to a shrine or something to pray, a huge roar came from the other side of the base.
Where did the explosion happen?!
The entire base was plunged into darkness in an instant, followed by a piercing alarm that blared over the base's public address system, and the red lights of the emergency indicator lights flashed incessantly.
Rum, who had just hung up the phone, was furious. He had just been scolded, and someone was still causing trouble for him. Did they think he was dead?!
He switched on the emergency power, and after a slight flicker, the light came on again. He wanted to see what was wrong, and judging from the direction of the light, it seemed to be coming from the lab...
The one-eyed middle-aged man's anger was extinguished by cold water. Could something have happened to the newly recruited researcher? What if something had happened to him too...
Rum, who believed that the BOSS had long been dissatisfied with him, broke out in a cold sweat. The BOSS might send someone to get rid of him.
Surrounding the laboratory were many peripheral members of the intelligence group, as well as... newly promoted Scotch whisky assigned to them.
He also seemed to have rushed here, wearing only a jacket over his pajamas and carrying a pistol.
To Rum's satisfaction, his eyes, unlike his casually ridiculous attire, were exceptionally clear, not at all like those of a newcomer who had just been woken from his sleep.
The tightly closed door to the laboratory was opened from the inside with a soft click, revealing two large and one small figures with their faces blackened from the explosion.
Sherry, who was highly regarded by the boss at such a young age, was supposed to complete her studies smoothly before returning home. However, the boss suddenly changed his mind and asked Vermouth to bring her back with him when he went back to Japan.
Now, as an intern, I'm working on experiments with the newly recruited "VIP" (as the boss calls him) and his assistant.
It seems that something went wrong in the experiment, causing the explosion. Fortunately, he only got a layer of ash on his face and was unharmed.
Rum, who never revealed his true identity, gave a wink to Scotland, who knew his true identity. The quick-witted new codename member immediately understood and chased away the onlookers.
In the end, only three codenamed members and two researchers remained.
"Mr. Abel, are you all alright?"
Knowing nothing about the experiment, Rum could only worry about their health, especially since both he and Sherry held special positions in the BOSS's heart.
"The experiment is progressing very successfully."
Even in this chaotic environment, Abel's voice remained steady despite his slightly disheveled appearance, which put Rum's mind at ease.
"The equipment here is truly unexpected..."
The assistant behind him was talking to the trainee researcher. The young girl had a similarly dark face and dead fish eyes. Mr. Herbert, it's so noisy.
