---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---

"What to do with your research project ..."

Alice-chan said that after a while since she was about to be blown off by a ballistic missile, the three of them were eating at a school meal as usual.

"I'm decided."

Mr. Saito who was devouring Oyakodon answers Alice with energy uselessly. Speaking of which, the other day, my teacher told me that. Certainly, I guess I would do one study per person and report on a regular basis. I don't care ... I wanted to do research on a new metal that I saw at a research lab before, but I don't have enough funds or equipment to do that. In the first place, if you talked to the Dean of the University about your research, you said "I don't need it!" ]. However, Alice ’s research,

"Is it good at pharmacy? If so, then."

When I say that, I stare at this. No, I feel weird when I stare at it. If you look away without knowing what to do,

"Help me?"

You can't refuse if you see it like such a small animal! All right. I'll help you, and Saito will do my best. Alice had a happy face and wrote her research on the print. Well, for some reason, Saito was shivering while saying tears to his eyes and saying, "My research time," but I'm sure I was glad to help Alice. In fact, when I thanked him, I was glad while stretching under my nose. After school, we decided to go to Alice's lab and talk about what to do.

"I'm just going to try a little bit of an antibiotic or something."

Well, is it an improvement on what is now? Then I think it seems to be easy to do. But how do you determine the effect? Even if you have a cold, it's not your mother, and you can't inject a new medicine into your body. If you ask Mr. Saito, you will be a subject if you ask ... Are you going to try it yourself? No no! I ask a question in that area.

"What about the subject? Isn't it reasonable for Mr. Saito?"

"Fuh !? Why am I supposed to do it ... I'll do my best for Alice-chan"

Alice is stuck saying "Oh ...". And Mr. Saito, I don't think it's good to get fit even if you get a good impression and aim for a point.

"If you're Arakawa's mother, can you try a sample from a specialized laboratory?"

Hmm, mom? I'm gonna do it if you ask ... I mean, I can't even try Saito-kun, and I hate losing friends. When I answered, "I don't care," Alice was pleased. I'm glad if a cute child is happy.

What do you think? What I was waiting for was a nightmare ...

It's good that Alice-chan's lab was doing new research every day after school. But there was one thing that was unexpected.

"Saito-kun, what are you doing next?"

"Certainly, you should measure the density with the paper there.

Alice has a rough human life, and she abuse it. I want to complain about it, but when I say "I'm sorry" with that rich eyes, I can't say anything strongly, and today I'm going to be desperate instead of my limbs. In fact, Alice herself is doing her best, so we want to show a little bit better, so we work silently.

"Arakawa-kun ..."

Saito comes to me with a serious look. A terrible disgusting feeling pops but asks what happened

"I misplaced it and put it twice."

what to do……. If you start over, you'll have to start a ridiculously complicated process from the beginning. It will be managed if it is about twice.

"Mr. Saito, there was nothing. Good, I'm just tired."

When I said my face, Saito went back to work, repeating my words to tell herself. Now, let's get into the separation. At this point, today's work will be almost finished ...

"Arakawa-kun, Arakawa-kun !!"

I woke up as if I heard the voice calling me. Apparently he was a little asleep .... Looking at the clock, he noticed that he had been over 20 minutes. Bad, very bad. When I looked at the separator that had stopped in a hurry, I almost ceased to speak, and there was an unknown object sitting there. Someone knocks on my shoulder when despairing of wasted work. Looking back, Mr. Saito is serious

"Nothing. Good, nothing happened."

Appeals to me to cast a spell. That's right ... nothing else has happened, I keep repeating the words. About three more times after that, "Nothing happened" happened, but I managed to finish Alice's work. Alice came back to the room from another lab when they were sitting tired.

"I'm sorry! I've been making chemicals to mix over there because there were things that couldn't be used here.

When I hand the medicine that became a different object from the first time I was in charge here, Alice embraced it

"Thank you very much. You can finally make a prototype!"

He was pleased to say. Apart from Alice who is getting nervous, we watch the compounding work without obscuring any helpless backliness.

"Saito-kun, do you think there is an effect?"

"I absolutely don't think so"

Still, I can't say it anymore, so I decided to keep this case secret as a promise between men. Alice is in a good mood after the medicine is completed

"Give this to Arakawa-kun's mother and tell them to try anything out of the box."

While taking the ampoule back with me, I was attacked by helpless weakness.

---- Miki Arakawa-Viewpoint ---

I was coming to the virus laboratory with an ampoule given by Koki last night. Koki told me that it was an antiviral drug he made with his friends at the school. I was told to try a sample for now, but I don't know what sample to try.

"Because it is that child, it should not be a normal sample"

I started with the safety level 3 class as a starting point. But no effect. I use it for the level 4 class sample for a while.

"Smallpox or Ebola virus ..."

Which sample is effective when used? I would like to check by brute force from level 1 class, but unfortunately such amount is not included in this ampule. Is it a failed work? The equipment that can be used at Gakuin may be a mistake, but the friends of Koki who I met last time were only very good children.

Suddenly, an idea in me came to my mind. And I was excited at the same time, if my thoughts were correct, the textbook would be rewritten.

"Mr. Arakawa is dangerous! Are these things that humankind cannot handle?"

A researcher working at this institute tries to stop me, but I don't want to hear that. I entered a special quarantine room, protected by a special 2-meter-thick door on the 8th basement floor, and in case of inhabitants, the people inside. Then carefully remove the sample and use the contents of the ampoule.

"No way ... it really works."

I can't believe what's happening right now. I checked many times using all the remaining contents but the results were all the same. If you don't contact WHO right away ... then contact the institute and ask for your research records.

The only ampoule I tried was the virus that caused the European tragedy, which was the only one on Earth to receive a Level 5 class designation.

---- Alice Alford-Perspective ---

It was a big deal! We have found that the medicines we have made are effective in that European tragedy. As a result, my laboratory at the academy has been closed since yesterday. But there were good things. It was usually quiet and harsh, and my esteemed father, who started me studying pharmacy, praised me very much. Hugging me

"Well done, my dad's proud daughter."

I said. Certainly, my father's grandfather had died in "European tragedy". I had been told that my father had become a researcher before, so I was worried that I took my father's research and asked him a question.

"What are you saying. You've done what I couldn't do?

I was glad and happy and cried just in my father's chest. Thank you Arakawa and Saito

"" I really don't do anything! "

And both try to give me credit. I can't do that! Even if I say, for some reason, she smiles bitterly without looking at me. In the end, I could only pay off at least publishing their names as collaborators ...

Will one day come back to them? At that time, no matter what, they would help them, so I decided.

In 2102, the WHO announced in a public statement a remedy for European Tragedy. The three developers are Alice Alford, Shingo Saito, and Koki Arakawa who are enrolled at the International Academy of Science and Technology.
