"Miles, what's with your face? You look like you've realized something..."
"Sorry, Reyna! But Mr. Wissen is one genius motherfucker!"
"Where did that come from?"
I apologize for taking this long to realize, Mr. Wissen! But I'll make it up today! If you can hear my thoughts, I want you to know that your "brother" will be apprehended! And peace will come to the Midway you cherish!
"Alright, men! You know your roles! Meet with your assigned squad captains! Everyone except those in the siege department is dismissed!"
I suppose that Sir Rigor will be leading the siege department. It's both reassuring and terrifying to be a subordinate of this man!

"Now that everyone is out, time to further discuss the details! There will be three phases to this operation! First phase! The surveillance period! It will last for three days! The goal of this stage is to gather information and provide intel for the other squads!"
Well... this is ov
Now for my personal investigation... I'm near the harbor anyway, and I promise to be safe, so it shouldn't be a bad idea, right?For starters, I should ask where the actual harbor is. Hopefully, the stranger I ask is kind enough!|...|This guy by the streetlight should do!"Excuse me, sir, but may I ask where's the abandoned harbor?""Oh... what do we have here? You must be the new recruit boss is talking about."Eh? I think he's mistaking me for another person!"I think you got the wrong person, sir...""No, you're who we're waiting for! Yer' name's Miles, right?How the fuck does he know my name?! Nori! Now would be the perfect time to appear!"H-How do you know my name?!""Relax! You're infamous in the gang! Boss ordered us to keep watch around the area near the harbor because he said you'd show up!"Infamous in the gang? Boss? The connection between the two is... terrifying... Don't tell me? Thi
She hung up?! What the hell was that about?! Screw it! Let's just draw the map!So Reyna lives in this apartment, huh? She mentioned she was an orphan, so I find it hard to believe this hotel-like building is her home. But then again, if you're associated with Ms. Alice, you're instantly a millionaire."*Ring!""M-Miles?""Why'd you hang up, Reyna?""The r-room number is 402 on the f-fourth floor.""Alright, I'm coming.""W-Wait!""Why?""I'm t-taking a shower, so shut up and stay in the lobby!""That's a pain in a-""..."She hung up again! Women are a massive pain in the ass! I'm just coming over to discuss the operation! Obviously, there isn't anything else on her mind? She's supposed to be a straightforward she-gorilla with a brother complex, so what's up with her lately?|...|It's been ten fucking minutes! My patience is as thin as a strand of hair! Screw it! I'm going up!
You're amazing... Reyna.A real-life Wonderwoman, I suppose. Working three part-time jobs is inconceivable, but by her standards, it's possible.But what I still don't get is... "date with Miles?" So Sir Konstantin set me up earlier? And he's Reyna's uncle?!What could she possibly get out of a date with me? Unless... No! That can't be right! Satan would have to apologize to God before that happens! No way in hell a girl would be interested in me, let alone Reyna!I should forget I ever saw this, for Reyna's sake and mine. I should leave it on the ground...|...|"Miles, what were you about to say?""I'm h-heading out now!""Oh... well, bye! See you later!""Yeah... see you... later."Ah, fuck... why are my eyes getting teary... Again, there's nothing to cry about, Miles!Just walk away! Even if she is interested in me, I just can't see her that way!But how hard she works... that's the only thing I
Let the night shift... begin! |...| "Miles, do you know how to climb a ladder?" "Who do you think I am?" "Let us get climbing then." "L-Let me go first, Reyna." "How gentleman like..." That sarcasm! I'm going first for you're sake, you know! You're wearing a skirt, so if you go first, I'll be seeing things I shouldn't! This she-gorilla doesn't know how to be a female... |...| "Miles, aren't you nervous?" That came out of the blue... I guess it's a police operation, after all. It'd be best to calm her down. I don't want a nervous wreck as my ally. "I'm not... honestly, I'm excited!" "Eh? T-That's a weird reaction." "You never asked what I was excited for, Reyna." "W-Well, what are you excited for?" "For all of this to end." "..." "I know you're nervous, but think about who you're doing it for. It helps you calm down." "W-Who do you th
"Looks like someone needs em' manners. We the Kuroi gang! Does it ring any bells?!"Oh fuck.|...|Why is the Kuroi gang here? I didn't see them when I used Nori! It's trivial to ponder about it. Reyna and I need to escape from this situation!"Oh, ain't you that Miles kid boss been all over 'bout? Finally came to join us, huh?""Miles, what is this guy saying? You're on our side, right? You aren't going to betray the police co-""Reyna! Be quiet! I'll explain later!"Fuck me! What am I going to do now?! If I play along with these gang members, Reyna will get the wrong idea. But if I oppose Hitoshi's subordinates, we'll be in a fatal circumstance!It's a lose-lose situation, so it'd be best to pick the scenario with minimal damage.Play along with these gang members and just hope Reyna discerns that it's an act sounds risky, but it's the safest choice.Trying to apprehend three grown men is... improbable even with
Even if I go insane, I still need you, Nori...|...|"Miles... what should we do to the guy I kicked off the rooftop?""Oh shit! I forgot about that! What if someone sees him?!""I should put his body in a dumpster.""Reyna! Do you hear yourself?! Y-You just killed a man!""Relax! That won't kill him!""A man! Just! Fell! From! The third floor! Of! A building!""You really are from another world... it takes more than that to kill a dude with a physical enhancement. From the fifth floor is the bare minimum.""B-But didn't you erased his enhancement?!""I deactivated mine just before the kick, so don't worry!"She has such fine control over her enhancement!"That's a relief! You're a she-gorilla, after all!""*Thud!""No punches in the stomach, Reyna!""Hmmph! Stop calling me a she-gorilla!"|...|"It's 11:55 Pm. The shift will end soon... what are you planning to do
"Nori?!"|...|"G-Good eveni-""Nori! You're back!""M-Master! W-Why are you hugging me?!""I... I missed you!""M-Master! Why are you crying! Didn't you get my message?!""Message?!""So he intercepted it, huh?""Nori, what are you talking about?""Master, did you see someone during your dream?""I scarcely remember, but... I was stabbed by-""Eric?""Y-Yeah... How do you-""I'm your enhancement, Master! How could I not know!""Eric is my... deceased childhood friend... and I... I killed hi-""It's not your fault, Master. It was an accident. I need you to calm down... we'll solve this.""O-Okay... but what's the problem, Nori?""I'm sure you've noticed it, Master. There's another person inside of you.""Yeah, I've noticed it. May you please explain?""It's only been few of the fewest cases, but people who have brain enhancements and undergo tra
I guess I miss those hell spawns a little, so I better get them presents... oh! Never mind! I'm broke! Hahaha...Speaking of being broke! The slums are miles away! How am I going to get there?!Ahh! Fuck! I'll have to borrow money from Reyna! I haven't seen those brats in ages, so I'll put in a little effort for them.|...|Ahh! That's a relief! I've managed to borrow enough money for a taxi ride! I got an earful from Reyna, which I honestly deserve... I suppose I'll pay her back tenfold.Alright! It's time for another existential crisis session!"Taxi, please!""Need a ride, sir?"'Yeah."|...|"So, where are we headed, sir?""To the slums, please!""So you're checking the changes in the slums, sir?Changes?! That's news to me! Now I'm curious!"Pardon me? What changes?""How clueless you are, sir!"I was too focused on the operation, so the world around me progressed wit
