14 C12 Leaving the Country

"So, as you requested we will forward your requests about the character designs to the animation studio. Is that all?" Michiko asked Aiko.

"Yes, that's all." Aiko (Ruka) nodded. She didn't want anything else because she already has a steady income from her other works. She just wants to maintain the original style she saw in her past life as a sign of respect to her predecessors.

Michiko smiled in relief at her words. She thought that she would have to bargain with me about the shares of the anime.

*Vroooom*

The cool wind I felt as I drove the motorcycle was comfortable. I felt free. Driving through Akihabara, I drove to my next destination. Okabe's Future Gadget Lab.

By the way, this is my first time driving a motorcycle. Like yeah I'm a noob. But despite being a newbie, I became a pro instantly because of what I did with this body.

Project VALKYRIE is a project of mine with the intent to create the ultimate and perfect body. I made this body with adaptability and learning capacity in mind. I am already smart but being smarter is not bad.

This clone has a high learning capacity, almost absurd in my opinion. With this body, I can learn and master anything I saw in the span of minutes to an hour depending on their difficulty.

For the skills needed to ride this motorcycle like I did, with drifting and such maneuvers, I took 30 minutes practicing.

Sometimes I even wonder if I created a monster. But then I would remember Gigalomaniacs so I would just shrug off that thought. Gigalomaniacs are on a whole different level of monstrosity.

Now that I remember it, I need to finish my Project DREAMLAND— Ah! Wait... I remember Alpha Ruka already finished that. Hehehe. Seems like I won't need to worry about Gigalomaniacs as much anymore.

It was really genius of me to integrate the Ir2 Equation to the code of my virtual reality program. With this I can successfully real boot things from my game AKA Project DREAMLAND. Whahahahahah!

This will surely anger those from the Committee if they knew about this. I made a better one that surpassed their trashy Noah II Artificial Gigalomaniac Device.

I drove fast with as I heard the wind blowing past me. With a large grin in my face, I went continued to drive to Okabe's place thinking about the things that would happen.

I stopped my motorcycle in front of the CRT TV Shop of Mr. Braun and removed my helmet.

I looked at the one in front of the Braun CRT TV Shop maintaining her bicycle and she looked at me too.

"Took you long enough, Equinox-sensei." She said with a smile making me frown slightly.

'Did I say anything to her in the future?' I thought to myself as I looked at her. Hashida Suzuha or should I say John Titor.

"Any messages?" I asked her as I got down from my motorcycle and sat beside her.

She looked at me in shock for a second before she calmed herself down and laughed, "Hahaha... Seems like my worries were unfounded. Yes. She said, 'We failed. Project Eternity did not work.'"

My eyes widened in shock as I paled. I couldn't believe it. Its impossible for Project Eternity to fail.

"No. That can't be. What went wrong?" I asked in denial as I couldn't believe her words. Project Eternity is the one project I put my efforts and soul into. In the beta worldline, it is basically complete so it can't be that... unless—

"She said that it was an Attractor Field Convergence. An inevitability. It is supposed to fail... at least in this worldline."

I sighed hearing that. Though this won't have any changes in my plans because I planned on going back in the first place.

I looked at the blue clouds in the sky and said to her, "This won't change my plans. I won't interfere with your mission. I also want to go back."

Suzuha was silent for a few seconds before she said, "Okay. I just want to ask you something."

"What is it?" I looked at her with curiosity about what she would ask. About her father? Or something else?

Suzuha then looked at me and then pointed at me... or more precisely my chest before saying, "Why are you a girl?"

I looked down and there I saw the bountiful twin peaks that I am now used to seeing. I opened my mouth in realization and said in embarrassment, "I-I kinda forgot... haha..."

I didn't even notice that and thought that everything was just normal. It seems that my adaptability and compatibility to this body is pretty high to the point I didn't even notice a thing until Suzuha pointed it out.

"Don't sweat the small stuff Suzu-chan. It's just one of my projects having a problem." I averted my gaze as she looked at me suspiciously.

'I knew that Ruka-san is very feminine for a guy but for him to be like this...' Suzuha thought to herself.

Unable to endure Suzuha's piercing stare anymore, Ruka stood up and ran upstairs, "I'm going to see what their doing! Bye!"

Meanwhile, in the capital city of the Philippines. Chaos is currently happening as countless people crowded the banks.

The other day, the greatest bank heist happened and millions were lost due to the hacking incident.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the culprit to this incident is currently watching the riot from the cafe near one of the banks.

"The Committee of 300 is really deep-rooted. I just snatched some of their embezzled funds and they created a fucking riot as cover up for it. Those bastards really know how to cover up their dirt." The young man sipped his coffee as he looked at the people outside.

Across his table, the little girl with him said to him, "When will we leave, nii-chan?"

He looked at his little sister who was eating an ice cream sundae and said, "We'll leave tomorrow by boat. We're going to Japan."

===================================

{ A/N: Hello there! Do you like this chapter? If so please give me some power stones! I need it to live!!!

Ahem—! Right, I will also explain some things you don't understand. Here are the explanations:

N.O.Z.O.M.I — short for Noah OrganiZation Of Medical Instruments, also known as The Nozomi Group or just Nozomi, is a group with multiple branches conducting nationally approved business. However, their primary subsidiary, Nozomi Technology, is secretly building a device called Noah II in order to artificially reproduce and wield the power of Gigalomaniacs, as part of Project Noah. It acts as a main antagonistic organization.

Project Noah — Project Noah is a scheme for world domination by The Committee of 300, funded by The Meiwa Party and the Cosmic Church of the Divine Light, and being carried out by N.O.Z.O.M.I.. The objective of Project Noah is perfecting the Noah II artificial Gigalomaniac device, so that the Committee of 300 can use mind control to control the entire global population through the process of realbooting and the use of porters to extend the effective range of the Noah II device worldwide after it is perfected. This not only would allow them to control all five senses of people, but also to control people's movements and actions remotely.

Gigalomaniac — are people who can see DI-Swords and other "errors", are capable of wielding them, and can interfere with the Dirac Sea. Using their DI-Swords and "realbooting", they can convert delusions into reality by blending "errors" into reality and making people recognize them. They are a type of ESPer.

That's all for now. I'll explain others in the next chapter. Bai Bai~! }
