Mash-Up Anime World: Adopted by the Sawamura Family

"Big sisters, what kind of monsters are you all?!"

"Is dodging bullets the line that separates normal humans from superhumans?"

Yuki Suou asked with a look of utter disbelief.

"I'm not a monster!"

"I just have slightly faster reflexes than the average person."

"Look at my thin arms and legs."

"If I got hit by a bullet, it would hurt so much!"

Chisato Nishikigi pinched her soft arm muscles as she argued back.

"Anyone would feel pain if they got shot by a bullet!"

"But Akira also said there are some abnormal humans in this world."

"Some of them have muscle density several times that of a normal person."

"Regular bullets get stuck in their flesh, and they can just pluck them out with tweezers."

"Then there are the agile, nimble big guys."

"Their subcutaneous fat is different from ordinary people's."

"It can defend against damage from both cold weapons and firearms."

"Protecting the fragile organs inside their bodies."

"It's like wearing an extra bulletproof vest."

"The most insane ones are those with bones far harder than normal people's."

"In China, they'd be martial arts prodigies; in Japan, they'd be kendo geniuses."

"The harder the bones, the greater the blood production and recovery abilities."

"Bones are the foundation that supports all physical activity."

"The talents I mentioned are all determined by genetics."

"The Go Clan selects for these special genetic traits."

Chisato Nishikigi had once seen a terrorist who was shot in the head, but the bullet got stuck in his skull.

"Akira, shouldn't you be explaining how to save Arisu now?"

"Uncle, you're so pragmatic."

"Just now you were calling me a scoundrel, and now you're calling me Akira."

Narumori Sakayanagi's face turned slightly red, a look of shame on his face.

"Jerk, don't mock my father."

"In this world, there aren't just all kinds of mentally unstable terrorists and terrorist organizations."

"There are also mysterious organizations with strange creeds and pursuits."

"The one who saved Chisato back then was one such mysterious organization."

"Akira, you knew all along who saved me?"

Chisato Nishikigi puffed up her cheeks in frustration.

He knew but never told her—this childhood friend was too much.

"This mysterious organization is called the Ayanokouji Agency, a simplified name derived from Atlantis."

"After all, the name Atlantis is just too well-known."

"In myths and legends, Atlantis was a highly advanced super-civilization blessed by the sea god."

"The Ayanokouji Agency's motto is 'Talent is a gift from the gods.'"

"They provide various forms of support and assistance to talented individuals."

"They spare no cost in doing so."

"Because only by relying on these talented individuals to harness their gifts can human society advance toward a more advanced civilization."

"Chisato's genetically diseased heart was secretly replaced by someone from the Ayanokouji Agency."

"In her chest is an artificial heart that only the Ayanokouji Agency can produce at this stage."

"Theoretically, it can last a lifetime."

"The heart's power source is electricity."

"The only downside is that it needs to be recharged periodically."

"That's so convenient!"

"How is that even a downside?"

The girls looked at Chisato Nishikigi's chest as if it were some rare treasure, their eyes sparkling with envy.

Among them, Arisu Sakayanagi's gaze became particularly bright.

"While I don't agree with some of the Ayanokouji Agency's ideals, this mysterious organization is at least somewhat on the side of justice."

"If this kind of black tech could be widely promoted, how many lives could it save every year?"

The older generation was utterly stunned, speaking with a tone of awe.

"Is this what you call black tech?"

"Then I can only say you haven't seen real black tech yet."

"Some terrorist organizations possess black tech that's even more outrageous."

Like the Organization.

Cough, cough, cough!

The girls were nearly choked by Akira Sawamura's words.

"Akira, I'm curious, which terrorist organization in the world is that powerful?"

Thud!

Akira Sawamura promptly knocked Eru Chitanda on the head, warning her sternly:

"Eru Chitanda, are you a curious little kid?"

"Your curiosity is way too intense."

"I was just mentioning it offhand."

"This isn't something you should be curious about."

"Do you know that a peaceful, ordinary life is something many people dream of but can't have?"

"You should be grateful that we live in a relatively peaceful country with strict gun control."

"Japan is also within the sphere of influence of China, a superpower."

"So the clouds of war and terrorist attacks are far from us."

"Things like the Kengan matches and mysterious organizations aren't what you should be concerned about."

"Even I'm planning to return to a peaceful daily life."

"Like the Ayanokouji Agency I mentioned earlier."

"The reason I don't agree with some of their ideals is that they believe talented individuals must walk the correct path in life."

"That is the greatest happiness for both themselves and the world."

Everyone looked confused—what did that mean?

"Don't understand?"

"Take Chisato as an example. Chisato's talent is combat, or rather, killing."

"The Ayanokouji Agency wants Chisato to spend her entire life active on various battlefields."

"Using her talents to eliminate pests that disrupt world peace."

"The only correct path the Ayanokouji Agency recognizes is one where individuals perfectly utilize their talents."

"But Chisato swore long ago that she would never kill again."

"She doesn't actually like fighting at all."

"Chisato usually uses rubber bullets during missions."

"Even when facing terrorists, Chisato spares their lives, leaving them to be judged by the law."

"When the Ayanokouji Agency's ideals clash with Chisato's,"

"The Ayanokouji Agency will stop at nothing to make Chisato walk the path they believe is the correct and happy one."

"Even if it means sacrificing their own lives."

Akira Sawamura explained with a hint of frustration.

The reason he didn't agree with the Ayanokouji Agency's ideals was that they were too extreme.

Ryouko Yakushiji accurately summed it up: "Lunatics!"
