After lunch time is over.

As I was leisurely preparing to head to the isolation wing, Mariela spoke to me.

“Director. You said you were going to see Olivia, right?”

“Yes, the new Pixie who came in this time was also a Granat Project subject like Lily.”

Mariela asked back with a somewhat reluctant look.

“I know it wasn’t much help during Lily’s time, but is there something different this time?”

“Well, Olivia wasn’t cooperative at the time, and Lily was also out of her mind… ”

“…I see. All right. Please be careful.”

Mariela is reluctant to see Olivia.

I haven’t heard the reason directly, but I suspect it may be due to trauma caused by an incident in the past.

‘Was that day probably about 5 years ago? This was when the management bureau was established and started operating properly.’

The day Olivia was captured alive,

The day her test subjects devastated a city.

It was also the day that Mariela, who had negative thoughts about the Bureau, realized the danger of pixies.

‘Mariella must have been used to death in her own way… No. No matter what, seeing thousands of people die before your eyes is on a different level.’

Civilian casualties that day were approximately 4,300. Among them, the fatality rate was over 90%, and most of the injured suffered serious damage to the point of permanent disability.

It was quite shocking, even for someone who had experienced all kinds of hardships before childbirth, so I remember the numbers roughly. This is even more so for Mariela, who has spent her entire life doing paperwork in the office.

Even this was done to minimize damage through retrying at the time, so if I hadn’t been there, it could have gone up to 10,000 units.

Anyway, before that day, Mariela had suspected that I was trying to satisfy my own sinister desires by imprisoning pretty beauties under the pretext of maintaining social order.

Mariela’s suspicions were justified.

The pixies under management at the time were C or D class, so they were relatively low risk, and the attack was over and they were in a calm state, so they didn’t cause any problems.

So even if I told you that only cancer is dangerous, you wouldn’t have believed it.

Since he was even considering retirement, I had no choice but to take her to the site.

‘When I think about it again, I don’t think there was any need to take him to the scene. The post-mortem report would have revealed how much damage there was. Well, my head was filled with thoughts of having to catch Mariela too… ‘

He always chooses to do things that would make Mariela feel sorry.

As soon as the button is pressed, the heavy iron door opens with a noise.

Olivia’s isolation room and laboratory. It is built to a fairly large size, and the interior is full of all kinds of unknown devices and specimens.

Considering the events of that day, the experiment itself should have been banned, but Olivia contributed a lot to the Bureau, and in order to attack it, she had no choice but to set up a laboratory.

“Oh… Isn’t this the director? ‘What brings you here?’

A woman in a white gown staggered towards me from afar.

[Heroine profile]

Name: Olivia

Height: 176cm / Difficulty level: B

Progress: 100% / Like level: 3

B-grade heroine Olivia.

She is an impressive beauty with glasses, freckles, and a haphazard ponytail. She is quite tall, but her posture is so hunched that you don’t think she is that tall, and she always stumbles as if she is drunk.

“Hehe… Is there anything I can do to help you..?”

Olivia forced a smile and bowed.

Among the heroines, she is more faithful to her position as ‘Eul’ and always tries her best to look good to me.

Because with one word from me, this laboratory, which is everything to her, could disappear.

“Yes. I brought you an issue that may be of interest to you.”

“Oh… I’m really looking forward to that… What is the issue?”

“Granat Project.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Oooh… ”

Olivia straightened her hunched back and gave a cheer, with light in her dim eyes.

“J… The one I know… Is this the Granat project?”

“Well, right?”

“Oooh… During the war era, this project started from an illegal gift enhancement experiment using prisoners of war. It showed such outstanding results that it was said that this project was the background to the empire’s victory in the war, but it may have been thought that problems would arise in the future. The project that collapsed by erasing its very existence… !”

“Uh… Good explanation. This is going to be long, so should we sit down and talk?”

Olivia nodded with bright eyes.

If it’s still related to experiments, I can’t do anything.

A small table prepared in the laboratory. At first glance, Olivia pours an unidentified liquid into a beaker used for experiments and hands it over.

“…Can I drink this?”

“Ehehe, there is no way I would give the director dangerous drugs. lol… It’s just an ordinary energy drink.”

“You didn’t make it, right?”

“Ah… Of course I made it. lol… ”

Clink—

“Ah… That’s too much.”

“Now that we have something to drink, let’s finish talking.”

It’s best not to drink anything given to you by a crazy mad scientist.

Last time, I drank an ordinary energy drink and stayed awake for three days and couldn’t sleep.

He said he drinks it often, but the problem is that he uses himself as the standard in the first place.

“Hehe… How much did I say? Oh, you even said that you got thrown in the mouth. lol… In addition to the Granat project, many experiments that took place during the war were covered up. In the process, the scientists were also disposed of. Scientists fled from place to place to survive, and some of them drifted into the underworld. Just like my father.”

Olivia’s father was a very capable scientist, and during the war, he conducted human experiments more passionately than anyone else, putting him at the top of the purge list.

He left everything to Olivia. All the knowledge he has accumulated throughout his life, the enormous amount of money he made selling illegal drugs in the underworld, and even the best laboratory equipped in a deserted place.

In the process, Olivia adopted his values, so it was natural that she became a mad scientist.

“Hehe… Just like my father did… Scientists who drifted into the afterlife would have continued their own experiments. The scientist in charge of the Granat project must have done the same.”

“I see. Even though I had the materials, it took quite some time to start over because there were no facilities or equipment.”

50 years have passed since the war ended. It was about 14 years ago when the Granat project began in the backworld, which means that preparations were needed for over 30 years.

I heard that their laboratory was completely destroyed when the experiment survivors escaped, so will it take another 30 years?

No, science and technology have advanced a lot, and they have established themselves in the back world, so wouldn’t it take less than when starting from nothing?

Then, it is quite possible that the experiment has resumed now that some time has passed.

While I was thinking about this and that by myself, I heard Olivia’s sinister voice.

“Hehe… My father always said that it was his regret that he could not participate in the project… Maybe I can use this opportunity to relieve my father of his resentment… ”

In case he’s not a mad scientist, he’s thinking about recreating that terrible experiment.

“I want to make one thing clear. The Granat project is banned. Don’t even dream of reproducing it.”

“Ugh… that… It can’t be… ”

The Granat project is too risky. All I can say is that he took just a few orphans and created vicious monsters called Lily and Leon.

If they are at Olivia’s level now, they will be creating more monsters that have gone way beyond the legacies of the war era, and their level will be on a completely different level from the monsters Olivia has now.

“Ugh… I was expecting… ”

“Well, I could give some materials as a reward. Could it be possible to make something like a drug that strengthens gifts in the short term?”

“Oh… Oooh… Is that allowed?”

“As long as it is not too severe.”

“Of course, the director is the only one who cares about me. lol… Inspiration is already starting to come… ”

I don’t know if it will be okay.

Well, if it’s a drug that has few side effects and is diluted appropriately, our security department can use it, and then our power will be increased…

Good things must be good things.

“Well, I’ll be back tomorrow around 2pm, so I’m getting ready.”

“State… By preparing, what do you mean prepare..?”

“Oh, I didn’t explain it. The new Pixie is also a subject of the Granat Project. Shouldn’t we meet in person and talk?”

“Ugh… city… Are you telling me to get out of the lab?”

“Of course.”

It’s obvious that Rion, like Lily, will be traumatized by the experiment, so should I bring him here because he’s crazy?

“Ugh… Ugh… ”

Olivia was devastated.

Because she absolutely hates leaving the lab.

But what can I do? If I screw you up, you too will be made a director.

“Okay, now that I’ve delivered the message, I’m leaving.”

“Uh..? Are you just leaving?”

“Hmm? Did I forget something?”

“Daisy said she misses the director a lot..?”

“Ah..!”

Crazy, look at my mind.

For some reason, I thought you haven’t seen me lately, but you left it with Olivia, right?

“…I didn’t forget.”

“Ugh… ”

Don’t look at me with such a pathetic expression.

Because I know full well that I am pathetic.

As I entered the carefully decorated room inside the laboratory, Daisy ran up to me and hugged me.

[Heroine profile]

Name: Daisy

Height: 132cm / Difficulty: D

Progress: 100% / Like level: 5

Cute appearance with long flowing golden hair and blue eyes. As can be seen from her height of 132cm, Daisy looks like a beautiful girl in her early to mid teens.

Although he has lived at least twice as many years as me, his physical growth has stopped and his mental growth is slow, so it is safe to say that he is in fact a child.

Although I always say it’s a pre-game, the strategy in this game doesn’t focus on dating.

By understanding the unfortunate circumstances of the heroines, influencing them as human beings. That’s the strategy of this game.

Of course, as likability increases, it naturally develops into love, but in Daisy’s case, it is closer to familial love than romantic love for the opposite sex.

In other words, I can actually be seen as Daisy’s father.

“Daisy. How have you been? Olivia didn’t do anything strange, right?”

Daisy nodded quietly and spoke in sign language.

– My sister treated me well.

“Yeah, it wasn’t scary?”

Daisy nods again.

I gently stroked Daisy’s head.

‘So cute.’

Daisy can’t speak. Exactly, you shouldn’t say anything.

She is just a cute girl on the outside, but like other heroines, she has quite dangerous powers.

Especially in terms of lethality, she is so dangerous that no heroine surpasses Daisy.

However, there is no problem as long as she does not raise her voice, so I eliminated the risk factor by making her mute using my mute skill.

‘It’s a bit… having to put a choker around a child’s neck like this. No, it takes a long time.’

– Have you been busy these days?

“Ah… ”

Daisy’s question left me speechless.

Such a fool. You forgot Daisy. Are you human?

“I’m sorry. No matter how busy I was, I still had time to stop by, but I couldn’t do it.”

– are you okay. Anyway, once it’s over, I can see it every day.

I can’t believe I made the child worry. I am disqualified as a guardian.

Pathetic bastard. I have to die.

“Still, I feel sorry for you, so I’ll buy you a gift. Is there something you want?”

Daisy seemed to like my suggestion and smiled brightly.

– really? So good. I can’t think of anything right now, but can I think about it?

“Then. Think slowly and let me know.”

Instead of saying she understood, Daisy responded by putting herself in my arms again.

This behavior is so lovely that it is so fatal to the heart.

In fact, it can be fatal.

‘If I have a daughter, I want to have a daughter like Daisy.’

Even the voice shouldn’t be the same.
