In Which, A Calm Extraction.
<Logical>
I was sent into a white room with a small compact design with just one bed and a table, missing a chair.
They hadn't realized that I was awake.
My body is no longer in a spaghetti-like motion. I can now move every part of my body freely. I look around the room, touching the walls that lit up light, using them as a substitute for lamps.
I look at the table with no features.
I look at the door with a sophisticated handle that can be unlocked using a fingerprint and a passcode that I memorized.
The passcode is 19-09-07, my birthdate. It seems that this room is reserved for me. Great!
I'm now a prisoner.
I have the room's passcode, but the fingerprint is the only thing I lack.
This door... It doesn't even have a slight bit of gap on the side. No oxygen can come through, but how can I still breathe properly?
I thought of how there should be air ventilation in this room. I thought wrong. I checked every corner yet found nothing.
I look behind the bed. Nothing.
Hmm... Then what is it... How can this-
The door suddenly opens.
"KYAA-" A girl shouted. I instantly put my hand on her mouth and banged the door closed, leaving her with me inside the room.
I pushed the girl to the wall with my hands still covering her mouth. I observed the girl and realized that she was a nurse. Probably checking on my health condition.
Reserved room, personal nurse. Seems like someone is expecting me longer than I thought.
The nurse is shaking in fear. I gestured a hush with a finger to my mouth while slowly uncovering her mouth.
"Shhh... Alright. I don't want to hurt you... I'm sure you've seen the video of me fighting." The girl nods. She stayed silent. Good.
I exhaled in relief.
"So? What is all of this? Private room, personal nurse. Who is this person that has been expecting me?" I asked.
"Umm- H-h-how are you awake?" The nurse asked with a gaze full of questions.
"Hmm? What? It's been like, what? 12 hours? Driving from Tokyo to a mountain."
"The drug you were injected with is Carfentanil, 1-milligram dose. Ten milligrams of dose could kill a 15,000-pound African elephant. One milligram of Carfentanil can sedate elephants. You are not supposed to be awake until next week. How?!"
I widened my eyes. They used an animal tranquilizer on me?! On a 15-year-old boy?! Are they mad? Have they lost their minds? What is even the end goal here?
I could've died!
"An average fighter's recovery rate. I suppose." I said with a composed expression.
"Th-that's still not possible... You have to be inhuman to achieve that." The nurse started gaining confidence.
"*sigh* What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm supposed to check on you."
I guessed correctly. I strayed away from her with my hands behind my back. I walk around the room as I interrogate her.
"I can kill you from anywhere in this room. I will ask you questions, and you will answer." She nods. "How am I breathing right now?" The girl widens her eyes.
"Wh-what?!"
"You will now answer me."
"Br-breathing? Oh..." She gasped in surprise. "You're quite an observant one. How did you realize it?"
"You will now-
"Ok-ok-ok... Umm... These tiles that are placed on the floors and on the walls and on the roofs."
"Yes, they can light up. Great-
"You're not letting me finish... here." She widens her eyes again. "Oh god! I'm sorry I didn't mean to-
"It's alright. Now answer."
"Ah... Okay... Ahem! These tiles... They omit gas from the gaps. You will realize that once in a while when the sensor detects that this room lacks oxygen, the tiles will open and suck in all the CO2 in the room and chemically converts it into oxygen that will be sprouted once again. It will then creates a-
"Never-ending cycle of oxygen reconversion."
"That's... Correct."
I touch one of the tiles. "Technologies has already come to this, huh?"
"Fascinating isn't it?"
"What's your name, nurse?" I ask.
"Laura, Laura Esmeralda."
"Hmmm... Beautiful name." I turn to her with an alluring gaze. I approach her with my hands still on my back. "Laura. Who is the man you're working for?" I lifted her chin to meet mine seducingly as I whispered to her, "Be a good girl for once and tell me your..." I pat her hair, "secrets..."
This position not only charms many girls in the village but also locks their movement. Without her knowing it, Laura can't move from this position.
"I-I-I..." She blushes wildly, not able to contain her lust. She gives in to the temptation, "Kizashi... Kirisu..."
"Good girl." I patted her head once more and kissed her on the neck before giving it a chop. She fainted.
I caught her while she fell, dragged her to the front of the door, and slapped her thumb on the fingerprint scan. I quickly entered the passcode and opened the door.
Before leaving, I grabbed her science lab coat and lifted her to the bed.
Kizashi Kirisu, let's see what kind of character you are.
--
I walk through the narrow tunnel outside my room and blend in with the crowd. I lift my chin to look confident, and when someone asks me 'who I am?', I answer, 'A lost intern. I'm looking for my employer, Laura Esmeralda.'
I go from room to room, trying to search the CCTV control system. I know they're in here amongst these maze-built tunnel systems.
The tunnel is not crowded. I've met 21 people so far after walking for about 10 minutes.
If I were to give this place a description in one word, that would be an 'Ant Colony.' This place resembles tunnels dug by ants creating a natural yet sophisticated tunneling system.
The design is distinct.
I move my way into a wavy pathway that leads to only one room at the end.
If I were to place a security room, I would place it right here. A perfect spot!
The wavy pathway could slow down enemies, and since it's a one-way path, if multiple enemies were to attack this place, they could only send one person at a time. That gives the security guards an enormous amount of advantage.
I walk towards it with a confused expression plastered upon my face. I then knock on the door while humming to make the act more convincing.
I know they're watching me because a CCTV camera in the top right corner looks right at me.
The door opens, and I see a glimpse of 10 monitors stacked upon each other behind this fat security guard.
As expected...
"What do you want, kid?" The security guard asked with a hoarse voice.
"Well..." I fidget my fingers. "I'm kind of lost..."
He raises his eyebrow.
"Well, you see... I was trying to find my teacher, Laura Esmeralda... I was wondering since you know-- this is the security room. Stuff happened, and I lost her. You see... as I was walking down the hallway, my shoelace got untied, so I had to take my time and tie it back. Then, I lost her. I thought since this was the security room, I could find my teacher there. Since she was-- you know-- lost. So I thought that you might perhaps help?" I repeated the same statement over and over to make the security guard bored and lose patience.
"*sigh* Alright, kid-- just-- don't get lost again. The tunnel system is really complicated, and explaining the routes to a newbie is even more complex."
"Thank you, sir! I will never forget your kindness!"
"Alright-alright. Come on in." The guard steps to the side, creating a path for me inside.
I walk there with my signature hands on the back, passing the guard.
Suddenly, my fighting instinct flare.
I quickly ducked down.
A baton is swinging at the top of my head, touching my hair, slightly missing my head.
The guard tried swinging downwards at me. I spun and hit the guard with a back kick on his belly. Then, I jumped backward for safety.
My kick did nothing but rip off his uniform.
The guard is a fat and short man. I underestimated him.
"Hoh... You're a kicker, huh? Interesting." He opened his shirt, and his body full of dragon tattoos was visible to my eyes. "Do you really think that I would overlook your cheap act? Don't joke with me, kid!" He looked at me with a bloodshot eye, "I'm the chief security guard of the Kirisu mansion, Yuto Kageyama!" He said as he stepped to the side while breaking the concrete floor below him, creating a traditional stance well-known to the village.
The Sumo Stance.
