Level 20: Prime Minister Level
Touka’s eyes widened, she was stunned by the unexpected news, did she just hear right?
"A medical team is needed for the bio-genetics..." Touka said faintly.
Other medical personnel who were in the office were stunned too.
Kiyoshi gave a slight nod, he knew this would be a piece of shocking news to them because it was unexpected but it can’t be helped now, plans were already in motion.
"As we all know now, General Anzai along with Sergeant Tori will be heading to the surface with the bio-genetics," Kiyoshi began.
"Wounds to the normal human being cause infection, wounds to the bio-genetics are slow healing, for that, a medical team is needed, it will be a big operation as you can see," Kiyoshi said.
"But what we discussed a few days ago was a simple operation," Hachiro said, adjusting his glasses. It seems like the prime minister had other things in mind, he wondered why the sudden change.
"With all due respect Kiyoshi-sama... what’s with the sudden change of plans" he adds sternly.
"The sudden change of plans as you say... is because the main priority isn’t about retrieving samples but making a base there for operation, it’s necessary as it will take some time to complete the mission," Kiyoshi said sternly.
"How long, Kiyoshi-sama?!" Hachiro demands with blank white glasses.
"Hachiro!" Touka hissed, not liking his tone.
"We believe the mission will take months because of the certain changes".
They paled at his words.
"Months?!"
"Months on the surface?!"
"With those creatures?!"
"And we’re expected to go too?"
"Will they even survive that long?"
"There are flesh-eating monsters there, right"
"Is this the change of plan?"
Whispers filled the wide office.
"I see," Hachiro said, adjusting his glasses as they cleared.
"In that case, I will go," he adds.
"Thank you Dr. Ichigo Hachiro for your contribution," Kiyoshi said.
Touka faced him with wide eyes. ’Hachiro’ she thought with shaky eyes.
"We need about 4 medical personnel," Kiyoshi states.
Whispers filled the office once more.
Touka’s gaze drifts to the floor as her fist tightens.
"I’m babysitting 51 kids, can’t help it can I?"
She remembered General Anzai’s words, her body trembling more, she also remembered the loss of the 49 bio-genetics, her teeth clenched hard, her body stopped trembling as she raised her head.
"I will also go too, Kiyoshi-sama" she spoke up, her eyes laced with seriousness.
Hachiro tensed by her words, his teeth clenched, the only reason he decided to go was that he didn’t want her to be picked, but Touka was always a strong head, to begin with.
"Thank you Dr. Kimi Touka for your contribution," Kiyoshi said as his body tensed a bit.
"I will go too," a man said, he had dark pink hair and brown eyes.
"Thank you Nagai Kenta for your contribution," Kiyoshi said sternly.
Kashi beside him was tense, one more person to go, others didn’t seem to wanna step forward, he gulped hard.
"Hey Kashi... take the lead for us," one of the doctors said behind, close to his ear. A deep shiver ran through his spine as his eyes broadened.
"Kouki," he said, tense.
Kouki pushed him from behind making him stumble to the front.
"Nice of you to join us Kashi," Hachiro said facing him, unaware he didn’t intentionally.
Touka smiled proudly as Kashi stepped up to join them.
"What?" He murmured still in shock at what just happened.
"Thank you, Dr. Ryuu Kashi, for your contribution," Kiyoshi said, not noticing the impartiality on the display.
Kouki and the rest chuckled silently behind.
Kenta caught notice of this, he saw what happened but didn’t say anything.
’This can’t be happening’ Kashi thought trembling, Kiyoshi-sama has already included him in his words... there was nothing he could do now, he gulped hard.
"We have all 4 doctors complete" Kiyoshi began standing on his feet.
"I thank you all for your contribution" he states.
"You’re all dismissed!"
They bowed slightly before turning to walk away. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Dr. Touka" Kiyoshi said, making her halt, the others were out already, and the door slid shut.
Touka’s looks darkened knowing what he was about to say.
"There’s no need to ask me why Kiyoshi-sama," Touka states, facing him before he could say anything.
"They will need me," he adds.
Kiyoshi’s eyes were saddened.
She bowed before she turned to leave, the door slid shut.
Kiyoshi gave a heavy sigh as his eyes grew wistful. She stepped out of the window.
Kiyoshi’s fist tightened, he didn’t want her to go but it seems what he will do now will not matter, Touka has always been stubborn when she set her mind on something ever since she was little.

With the door shut, she leaned on it with sad eyes. ’Why care now?’ She thought with shaky eyes. She bit her bottom lip. ’You never were there, to begin with...’ why was he putting in such effort? She didn’t ask him to, he should know her mind was already made up, she was willing to secure the lives of the bio-genetics as much as she can, seeing them die like they were nothing in their first mission was heart-wrenching, although she knew her presence will not make any much of a difference she believed she could do something for them.
’Just like General Anzai’ she thought as a smile formed on her lips, for some reason his little words inspired her and she sought to do something as best as she could for the bio-genetics.
"Dr. Touka?"
