More than thirty years ago. Just before the beginning of the Sino-American War.
Masako Ashi and Junko participated in the Japanese-Chinese collaborative project of Allaune Research, and worked in the same seventh laboratory. In the room, Junko was the closest person to me, and Junko looked to me and relied on me.
"The Chinese team got angry because of Fumi-chan. Moreover, the greats of the Japanese team are obsessed with escaping their responsibilities."
That day, Junko was chatting with Kirisaki, the head of Laboratory 2, who visited Laboratory 7.
“Researchers from the Chinese team hate it when it comes to escaping responsibility, just asking for the color of the face and being able to follow someone else's example. In fact, it's true, so it's not superfluous, but we don't manage it. There's nothing we can do about it when we hate it."
Kirisaki speaks in a dumb voice. Kirisaki, who is participating in this research project, is not riding on top of half-naked cyborgs. There was no way to do that with a boulder.
"They weren't praised, though." Even though I haven't achieved much, I just care about repairing my face and spread my prestige with a high-pressure attitude. "
Milk is throwing up just by talking over the internet. Milk was part of the project, but no one was seen. I connect to the internet and always communicate only by voice.
Is it true that we are dissolving here?
Ashish tends to hesitate to speak.
"The United States and China are refraining from starting a war. There are rumors that China's relations with Japan, America's slave state, will be broken off. If it does happen, this project will come to an end.”
"Well, I guess it's dissolved." By the way, when this place is disbanded, I've been getting calls from the Sentone Military Bioscience Laboratory in the United States, and I'm thinking about going there. "
Battle Creature, a new type of biological weapon.
Kirisaki, Junko, and Milk said it.
(That's not true...)
When I heard the words of the three people, I was stunned.
(Are you going to break up with Junko...? "Ichiba confessed... no, I can't. (I can't do it very well)
After thinking about it, I noticed something more serious.
(No, what will happen to her? "We have to help her before the project is interrupted and this place is disbanded..." But what can I do.....)
A boy on a test stand whose ashes have always cared. He is eager to help.
Shall we talk to the people here? No... no matter what I think)
I look at Junko and Kirisaki and dismiss my thoughts. If I could do that, I would have done it already. However, Kirisaki was not very close, and while Junko was gentle with the researchers, she was afraid to ask Junko for help because she had a side that could cause pain and death to the human experimental platform.
When I noticed it, it was dark around here. At some point, Ash Masaki seemed to be sleeping inside the cabin.
There are lights inside the cabin. Junko sat next to Zheng Ash, who was sleeping on the bed. Projects a holographic display and peers in.
"Junko-chan...? Oh... I see, Kami-chan and the others called. You said you were coming."
"I heard the story on the phone from Kamimi-chan." It was a disaster, Ashimasa-san. "
Junko hits her shoulders on the shelf from side to side in the direction of the ashes. It is a space that only one person can fit in, except for the sleeping area.
"I checked the condition earlier, but there was no particular abnormality." That's why you can rest assured. "
"Thank you for staying like this..."
Junko smiles, but ashes express gratitude with a face that doesn't float.
"I'm getting in trouble again." I am annoyed and disliked by many people. That's why I didn't live with everyone, living apart, but I hated them again... and got angry... and beaten... "
Having spoken so much, my memory keeps coming back.
"Oh... I've been lying to myself." I am not myself, but I am myself. I am not who I am. [M] Little by little... my head is getting clearer. I think I remember something important, but it's really scary... "
If the memory returns, I want it back, but now I'm frightened that the memory will return completely.
Do you want to be yourself now?
"No... I'm not afraid to go back to my old self." No, maybe there was something very wrong with me once. I'm sure I don't like remembering that. I'm scared. "
After Junko answered Jingzheng's question, they were silent for a while.
"Kurosuke-kun is gone..." The ghelopy is also dead..... "
Eventually, Ash Masaki opened his mouth. At the same time, tears fade from my right eye.
Kurosuke-kun?
"I've been with you all my life. I've never seen a face, but we've always been together. Friends chatting every day. But... I suddenly lost my answer..."
"Maybe they're sick, too."
"Maybe it was an accident... I'm scared"
The positive voice of the ashes trembles.
Can I have a look at the chat log?
Yeah.
As required by Junko, Ash Masaki projects the holographic display and shows the chat.
Junko kept scrolling slowly through the logs for a few minutes, staring at the content of the conversation.
I'm going to step out of my seat for a second.
When Junko says no and goes outside the cabin, she makes a phone call.
(I can't answer it...) I didn't hear from them. I wonder if I should consider that something happened to Kurosuke-kun. The most likely is -)
Suddenly, I looked up on the slope.
There was a figure there. And in the middle of the night, Junko's gaze disappeared to the other side of the bank, as if she noticed Junko's gaze.
(That's probably Kabadi Man. I've been watching you all this time.)
Junko puts her hands on her chin and thinks.
(It may be a bit dangerous, but I wonder if I'll wait for you to come into contact with Ashishi-san.)
Determine the policy and remove your gaze from the ground.
(I asked --- If you told me that Kurosuke-san was the one who told me about Ashigaru-san, I guess Ashigaru-san would feel a little better. But this is not the time. If you give the information poorly, it is possible that Ashigarashi-san will inadvertently reveal the information and fall apart.)
Junko returns to the cabin.
"I thought you'd left. But... I felt so relieved when I came back. I'm so happy that Junko is here with me."
"I-I see..."
Listening to the straight line of Ash Positive, Junko raises a confused voice.
"I don't think your condition will get worse, but I'll stay with you tonight and keep an eye on you, Ashimasa-san is asleep."
Junko knows me well, right?
Ash righteousness that once again mouths what I knew.
“We worked together. I was working on a big project at the same lab."
Junko said, lightly stroking the forehead of the ashes.
"When I noticed, I was alone." The oldest memory is me wandering around the town... I was scavenging for garbage, and the same homeless person brought me here. "
"I see. What a coincidence." Neither do I. "
Same?
In Junko's dialogue, Masakoto Ashi was very stubborn.
"My oldest memories are of scavenging and eating garbage." Moreover, I was born blind, so I don't remember the surrounding landscape visually. The smell, the sound, the buildings on the side and the timing, the taste, the oldest memories. "
"That's right..."
Listening to Junko's story, Masamune was not much shocked. Imagine a child who hasn't been born before being forced to live like a beast, and feel the pain of Junko who lived such a childhood.
"Now... I remember again. But I might forget. I have to tell you."
"I won't forget anymore." I forgot that there was a problem with my head. I surgically removed the problem, so don't forget it's important. ”
"I see, but I'll tell you. I tried to do something. [M] But... because I'm an idiot, I failed. I had other things to do. [M] But... you were too scared to do it..."
When he spoke that much, Ash Zheng remembered even more.
If you can make a choice that you don't regret even if you fail, if you really want it, don't hesitate to choose you.
The dialogue is the one that the girl in front of her once uttered in front of herself. Listening to this dialogue, Ashishi made his choice. No, I've made up my mind. As a result, Ash Zheng's life changed significantly.
"Ahh... I remember something very important."
The positive tone of the ashes clearly changed. Junko opens her eyes. It was Junko's way of speaking ashes.
"When I heard that word from you, I--I made a decision." to help her.... "
"That word?"
Junko can see who she is pointing to with her mouth full of ashes. But I don't understand that word.
"I wonder... who that girl is." Was that child... saved? That girl... I can't seem to remember, I can't remember... "
Also, the positive tone of the ashes returned to the young one.
"Even if I can't remember, I'll tell you now." I'm glad she's alive. He's still alive. Thanks to Masao Ashi-san. "
When Junko told me, tears overflowed from both eyes.
I don't know why I'm crying. But I was relieved. It seemed to me from the bottom of my heart that I was not wrong. Satisfied. Glad.
Thank you very much, Junko, I love it
"Huh!?"
Junko unexpectedly shouted a surprise at the ash-correct dialogue she had spoken so naturally.
