Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: The Surest Path to Hell is a Free Fall Paved with Selfishness

Ayano finds a nearby secluded place to park the Landhawk.

"Alright. Pastor John, please stay here and wait for us." Yuki said to him.

"I understand. Please be careful." He replied.

"Sayaka, is your poker face as strong as those three?" Yuki asked her.

"Alya doesn't express much since she's… that. Nonoa is just almost heartless, and Ayano is used to hiding her feelings."

"I can try. How about you, Yuki?" Sayaka replied.

"I'm also good at that. Though…" Yuki said while looking at her brother.

"I did assign big bro to be in the protector group…"

"But the guards might get suspicious if they see Nonoa… or rather, Alice, to bring a man into Lower Yoshiwara…"

"So… Big bro… I have a request to make…" Yuki asked her brother with puppy eyes.

"… Do you mean like… I have to crossdress?" Masachika asked Yuki, already knowing where this is going.

"You have to do it, big bro! With you there, the protector group will have a better chance!"

"Please be quick, Kuze-kun. Their prisoner might be in danger of getting Nonoafied now." Nonoa begged him.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but please crossdress so you can save Roberta, Masachika!" John begged him.

Considering that the lives of their loved ones are at stake, he finally understands and gives them his consent, swallowing his pride down. "Alright, I'll do it."

Ayano swiftly pulled out a make-up box and dresses from the storage.

Nonoa, Sayaka, Alya, Yuki, and Ayano work together to make Masachika into a pretty girl.

After a minute, they had successfully turned Masachika into a tall pretty girl with a frilly dress.

"That looks so good on… you… Pfft… HAHAHAHAHA!" Yuki said, laughing at her brother's new feminine appearance.

John looked away, trying not to laugh at his co-worker wearing a dress, trying not to show his smile and how close he was from laughing. "…"

"This kind of place really changes everyone in it… What an evil place… But… This is way too funny.!" John thought to himself. 

Alya gives him a thumbs up and compliments him, "You are a pretty girl, Masachika. Your appearance has turned me into a bisexual now."

"That does not help, Alya! I know Aida made you approve of me since I'm registered as your owner!" Masachika retorted.

"And we already had threesomes and foursomes already! Heck, we just had fivesomes on the train back then!"

Ayano stays silent, trying not to offend her beloved master.

Nonoa looks at Sayaka with a raised eyebrow and says, "… Fivesomes? Saya-chi… You slept with Kuze-kun before I did?" in utter disbelief.

"… Shut up." Sayaka said with a flustered face, looking away to avoid eye contact with Nonoa.

"Oh, you bet, Miyamae-san! Raw defloration, even! And she's already knocked up since big bro's sperm has nanomachines in them!" Yuki informed her.

"… Congratulation, Saya-chi." Nonoa said with a poker face, not knowing what to express even in her sociable mode.

Sayaka stares at Masachika who's crossdressing, thinking to herself, "Damn it… Is this really the father of my future child?"

"… Masachika, what a carnal and sinful man you are." John thought to himself.

"And please just call me Nonoa from now on. Everyone is already calling each other by their first name. I felt left out and weird by being singled out." Nonoa said to everyone.

After their short banter, the rest of the Liberators made slight changes to their appearance in order to fool the guards.

After that, the Liberators, along with Nonoa, walk toward the gate that heads into Lower Yoshiwara.

A group of gatekeepers salutes Nonoa as she arrives with the Liberators behind her.

"Boss, welcome back!" The leader of the gatekeepers said to her.

"…Weird. They no longer check for the mark inside my eyelid?" Nonoa thought to herself.

"Oh, you really brought people that look like the deceased Central Cabinet members!" Another gatekeeper said with a happy tone. "Now their fans might get their share of clones as well!"

"That's right." Nonoa lied to them as naturally as she breathed. 

"Damn it, they sure are an observant bunch." Nonoa thought to herself.

"Can you open the gate, please? I need to send them in immediately." Nonoa said to the gatekeepers, faking her urgency.

"Sure thing, boss. Although… Why is there a man among the group you brought along?" One of the gatekeepers asked Nonoa.

"SHIT! Already busted this early!?" Masachika thought to himself.

"Is it no good? I found him to be pretty cute in drag." Nonoa said calmly to the 

"You imbecile!" The lead gatekeeper told his subordinate who asked the question. "It's for people with futanari, drag, faggot, and tranny fetish!"

"You shouldn't have bothered to dress him like that, Boss. We all know you are always striving to fulfill everyone's fetishes!"

"… Yeah, something like that. Also, it would be great if we somehow can make use of the pretty male population, right?" Nonoa said to them.

"SO IT'S POINTLESS TO CROSSDRESS ANYWAY!?" Masachika thought to himself, screaming at the unnecessary shame he brought to his own psyche.

Yuki pinches herself, trying not to laugh at what's happening.

"Leader, is it okay to say such slurs?" The subordinate asked the leader of the gatekeepers.

"This is New Yoshiwara, anything goes!" The leader replied.

"Furthermore, we are not with the A3, we are with Torikachi Private Military Force!" he added.

"Can we go in already?" Nonoa asked the leader.

"Ah, yes. My bad, Boss." The leader said while leading them to the blood sampler device.

Nonoa put her left hand into the device, and it immediately withdraws blood from her fingertips with a syringe.

The display on the device shows a green check mark along with a soothing notification ping, and the gate opened for them.

"Thanks, boys. I'll see you all later." Nonoa said while walking in with the Liberators behind her.

"Have a good day, boss!" The gatekeepers said to her simultaneously as she entered Lower Yoshiwara.

– Lower Yoshiwara: Level G (Ground) / Floor 0, Storage and Entrance --

As soon as they enter the facility, they see a well-dressed man making a phone call in the middle of multiple giant yellow tanks with the symbol of S written on it.

"What's with those giant tanks? What's in them?" Masachika asked.

"They are Sulfur containers. It's a necessary ingredient in skincare products used by the Nonoa clones." Sayaka replied.

"They are mined and collected in New Owakudani on mount Fuji." She added.

Suddenly, the well-dressed man noticed the group and immediately approached them.

"Shit! It's Torikachi Ashita! Nonoa, please don't screw this up!" Sayaka whispered to her.

Ashita waves his hand, happy to see Nonoa is visiting the facility.

"Darling! I thought you wouldn't arrive here for 4 more hours!" Ashita said with a bright smile towards Nonoa.

"Yeah. I was planning to make a surprise for you." Nonoa replied. "But it looks like you are one step ahead of me…"

"Of course! Anything for my future wife! I even got you all this Sulfur as you requested!" Ashita proudly claimed while pointing at the giant Sulfur canisters.

"Thank you for that. I know you are a reliable man…" Nonoa said with a fake smile towards him.

"Can I get a kiss?" Ashita asked Nonoa.

"I'd love to.. But right now, I am experiencing some cramps and nausea… I don't want to vomit when we kiss." Nonoa replied, trying to avoid having to kiss a man she just met.

"… OH! OH!!!! THAT'S GREAT NEWS!!" Ashita screamed happily in euphoria.

"Here, the pregnancy test you asked me to buy on the way here!"

"I know it, you are pregnant! Please test it as soon as possible!"

Nonoa smiles and takes the pregnancy test from his hands as she says, "Thank you. Be right back, let me go to the toilet first."

Nonoa then turns her gaze towards the Liberators and asks, "Anyone wants to go to the bathroom with me?"

Sayaka raises her hand and immediately follows Nonoa to the nearby restroom.

After arriving in the female's restroom near the non-binary restroom, Nonoa gives the test kit to Sayaka.

"Thank you for getting the help, Saya-chi." Nonoa said to her.

"What are you talking about? I just want to go to the toilet." Sayaka responded.

"Then good timing! Please pee on this." Nonoa begged Sayaka.

"Why!?" Sayaka responded in shock.

"If it turns negative, he might ask me to make love with him, wasting our time."

"… Fine. Give me that" Sayaka said while angrily grabbing the test kit.

Sayaka then enters a stall and slides her skirt along with her panties down.

She sits down and proceeds to do her business.

"… Why do I have to help fake Nonoa's pregnancy test?!" Sayaka thought to herself while placing the test kit on her crotch.

"Well… At least this means my pregnancy… this baby… is not entirely in vain…"

"Thank you, my child…"

"Thank you, Masachika…" Sayaka thought to herself, looking at her still flat belly while caressing it with a smile.

Sayaka then urinates on the test kit. And as the dealer said before in New Kashima, she is already pregnant. The test kit shows 2 lines.

Nonoa greets Sayaka as she comes out of the stall.

"Hey, Saya-chi. How does it go?" Nonoa asked her.

"Here. Don't make me regret this, you understand?" Sayaka warned Nonoa.

Nonoa takes the pregnancy test kit back from Sayaka's hand, now with a positive result on it.

"Thank you. Woah… You are really becoming a mom at such a young age. " Nonoa commented upon seeing the 2 lines on the kit.

"Shut your mouth and let's just get this over with." Sayaka said.

A few minutes later, Nonoa and Sayaka return to the spot where Ashita and the other Liberators are waiting.

"How is it!?!" Ashita asked Nonoa. "What's the result!?"

Nonoa gives him a bright smile and shows him the test kit. 

"Congratulations, papa." Nonoa said, showing him the 2 lines on the kit.

"OH!!! OHHHH!!!!! FUCK YESSS!! WE DID IT!! AFTER SO MANY TRIES!!!! OUR FIRST CHILD!!" Ashita said while crying and screaming out of happiness.

He spreads his arms wide open and tries to hug Nonoa, just to be pushed away by her.

"Not now. There are other people here, papa. It's embarrassing~" Nonoa said to him with playful flirty tone.

"I told you I have nausea right now. I don't want to vomit my food out on to you." She added.

"Oh, okay! Anything you say!!" Ashita said while slowly backing off Nonoa.

"Anyway, can you get some supplements for pregnancy and prepare for our baby? I want an expert to help us."

"Of course! I'll get to it right away, my love!" Ashita screamed in happiness while running and jumping around towards the facility's gate.

"HEY YOU GATEKEEPERS!!" Ashita screamed.

"Yes, sir!" The leader of the gatekeepers responded while saluting him, followed by his subordinates.

"I'm going to be a dad!!! With the woman I love!!! I'm so happy!!! Salary raise for every employee!!!"

"WOOOOO!! CONGRATULATIONS, SIR!!" The gatekeepers congratulated him.

"Damn… Alice will have so much to explain later." Masachika commented.

"Not my problem." Nonoa replied.

Suddenly, Nonoa's phone rings.

"Damn it! That startled me…" Yuki said to Nonoa.

Nonoa takes her phone out and checks who are calling her phone.

"It's Masha-san. What should I do?" Nonoa told everyone.

Alya then tells Nonoa, "Pick it up. Act normally. Make her believe we are heading to New Sendai."

Nonoa nods and picks the phone call up.

Masha asks Nonoa over the phone, "Hey Jeanne, I heard the area around Suou's residence has been hit by some attackers. Are you alright?"

Nonoa replies to her with "Yeah, I am fine. We are heading towards New Sendai right now."

"We?" Masha asked her. "Who's with you?"

"Ah… It's Yuki and her brother, Masachika." Nonoa replied. "They decided to take me along them."

Alya then points at Yuki and Masachika.

Both of them immediately realize what she is trying to pull.

"Ah, big bro~ Are you sure you want to rub your throbbing cock over my swollen belly? Shouldn't it turn you off?" Yuki said loudly, making sure Masha could hear it over the phone call.

"You must be joking. I love your swollen pregnant belly, Yuki. In fact, let's make another baby once you pop this one out." Masachika replied, following her lead.

Masha then tells Nonoa, "Keep me updated. I'm heading there right now." before hanging up.

"Heh… Sucker." Yuki said with malicious intent.

"I have already modified the GPS on your phone to New Sendai. She shouldn't figure out that you tricked her before she got there." Alya told Nonoa.

"Anyway, let's split up according to plan." Masachika said to everyone.

"Alya, Ayano, and Nonoa. You three are in the saboteur group."

"Me, Yuki, and Sayaka will stay here."

"Please contact us if anything goes wrong."

Alya nods and kisses Masachika on the lips. Masachika accepts it without any question.

"My good luck kiss… Please wait for good news from me." Alya told him.

"Good luck, saboteur group." Masachika said with a bright smile while giving them a thumbs up. "You guys can do it!"

The saboteur group then goes into the elevator and descends further into Lower Yoshiwara.

"The prison is on Level B4!" Sayaka reminded Nonoa.

– Lower Yoshiwara: Level B1 (Basement 1) / Floor -1, Incinerator --

On their way to Level B4…

Alya suddenly sensed something horrible.

Alya quickly and loudly says "Ayano! Close your eyes and plug your ears!"

Ayano immediately did as Alya told her, trusting in her judgment.

Confused and startled, Nonoa asks Alya "What got you worked up so suddenly, Alya-chi? Is there something-"

Before Nonoa can finish her sentence, Alya grabs her chin and turns her gaze towards the view in front of her.

"… Are we in hell?" Nonoa said to herself while covering her mouth.

"Perhaps." Alya replied. "A hell which gate you opened."

What they saw was a vast expanse of trash, corpses, and dying people falling from many trash chutes above.

Condoms, sex toys, medical waste, syringes, dead or dying animals, maggots, flies…

Nonoa clones and civilians… whether they are pregnant or not, or living or not…

Civilians, fetuses, babies, severed body parts…

All of them pile up, forming hills and seas of dried blood and rotten meat, ready to be incinerated.

"Did I… cause all this to happen?" Nonoa asked herself while putting her hands on the elevator's glass wall.

"Yes." Alya replied, confirming her.

For the first time in her life, Nonoa felt a sense of regret in her life.

Nonoa whispered under her breath "… I'm sorry. I…"

"Your apology won't ever reach them, Nonoa." Alya responded.

 "All you can do is to stop this madness and avenge them by eliminating A3." Alya added.

– Lower Yoshiwara: Level B2 (Basement 2) / Floor -2, Nonoa Manufacturing Line --

The elevator continues to descend.

Nonoa closes her eyes, afraid to see more consequences and suffering caused by her sins.

 Alya holds Nonoa's chin in place, forcing her gaze to stare out at the elevator's glass wall.

"Open your eyes and see what ONA project did to them." Alya said to her.

Nonoa opens her eyes, and she sees tens of thousands of women being put into VR training machines, drugged and stimulated with machines non-stop until they become slaves to their own desires.

On the opposite side of the VR fuck machines… 

She can see a big, cold, heartless, and unhygienic production line quickly transforming bound women brought in by the conveyor belt, turning them into exact clones of herself non-stop.

"Every minute, a Nonoa clone is made, ready to be abused to death." Alya told Nonoa.

Nonoa stares in horror. She starts to feel empathy, something she never had felt before.

Nonoa finally breaks her silence, teary-eyed while holding back her own vomit, "… Shit. This… is a crime beyond the holocaust."

"… The aliens will never forgive me. Humanity will never forgive me. My family will never forgive me."

"I can never forgive myself…"

Alya then says "Good. Keep that in mind." to Nonoa.

– Lower Yoshiwara: Level B3 (Basement 3) / Floor -3, Fusion Reactors and Capacitors --

The elevator continues to descend.

There are only Fusion reactors to be seen. A nice and brief rest for Nonoa after the previous 2 floors.

She's guilt-ridden about being the foundation of the ONA project, and by extension, her clones' suffering.

"I need a hard, long think about the kind of person I am turning into after all this is over." Nonoa thought to herself.

– Lower Yoshiwara: Level B4 (Basement 4) / Floor -4, Prison --

Alya detected something horrifying from her extra sensors' reading as soon as they reached Level B4.

"… Nonoa. Before we arrive at the next floor, please prepare yourself." Alya told Nonoa.

Nonoa gulps and starts sweating out of fear.

"… Are you going to kill me after I have no more use, Alya? Am I going to face justice?" Nonoa asked her.

"You will face justice, but not from me." Alya replied.

"It's the consequence of your own action. You can see it for yourself."

The elevator stops and the door finally opens.

Alya and Nonoa walk out while guiding Ayano (who's closing her eyes and ears).

Loud cries and pleas from multiple women can be heard clearly from the massive and cramped female prison lines on this level.

They are crying, begging not to be transformed.

There are bloody claw marks with human nails on the walls and prison bar.

There are guards raping the prisoners. 

Some prisoners killed themselves, either by hanging, smashing their heads to the wall, biting their own tongue, assisted suicide, attacking the guards so they would get shot, intentionally throwing themselves to the ground, etc.

"… Fuck." Nonoa said to herself.

"It's not over yet. The worst is yet to come." Alya said, guiding her to a certain spot.

"The prison doors are locked using physical analog keys instead of digital lock. Unlocking them by hacking is out of question." Alya thought to herself while analyzing the prison bar and door with Aida's help and analysis.

As the three of them walked along the corridors, Nonoa was startled when a woman from behind the bars grabbed her hand.

"YOU!!! YOU ARE MIYAMAE NONOA RIGHT!!?" The prisoner screamed at her, grabbing her hand tightly.

"Let me go!!" Nonoa said while struggling to get free. "It's not me! You got the wrong person!"

"IT IS YOU!! ALL I WANTED IS TO BE AS PRETTY AS YOU!!!"

"YOU PROMISED THAT WE CAN BE LIKE GODDESS OF BEAUTY LIKE YOURSELF!!"

"WE JUST WANT A DECENT LIFE AND BETTER APPEARANCE!! WE JUST WANT A FRACTION OF YOUR BLESSINGS!!"

"WHY DO I HAVE TO SUFFER LIKE THIS!? HELP ME!! FREE ME!!"

Nonoa quickly pulls herself away from her and says "I… am sorry. I don't mean to…"

"HEY!!! SO YOU ADMITTED IT'S YOUR FAULT!!! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! FREE ME!!! DON'T LET ME DIE HERE!!!"

Other women behind the bars took notice and started extending their hands out, crying and begging her to help them.

"MIYAMAE NONOA!!! HELP ME!!!"

"I WAS YOUR FAN!! PLEASE HELP ME!!"

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US!!?"

Nonoa shivers while whispering "No… It… is… Alice… I…" under her breath. Her words drowned in the middle of the prisoners screaming at her.

Alya then screamed to them all, "SHUT UP!" Louder than everyone else's voice combined.

"We are here to help you all escape. If you all keep bothering us, the guards will take notice, and you will all die by their gunfire." Alya stated to them.

The prisoners start calming down after Alya gives them their much-needed hope.

"Let's go, Nonoa." Alya said while still guiding Ayano. "There are more that you need to see for yourself."

After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived in front of a special prison room.

"Brace yourself, Nonoa." Alya said while pushing the door open.

Nonoa steeled herself, preparing her psyche for anything that might lie inside the room.

Alya opens the door and reveals what is behind it.

A female doctor wearing a mask is dissecting the lifeless corpses of Miyamae Lea and Miyamae Leo, their torses cut open, their limbs missing, and their organs stuffed into transparent jars.

"… I'm sorry, Nonoa. But this is the truth." Alya said to Nonoa.

"This is the consequence of your action." She added.

Nonoa's eyes widened in horror, her thoughts flooded with regrets and apology.

"… No. No no no nononononononononono…" Nonoa repeated to herself, trying to deny the nightmare in front of her.

"…A….. Haaah…. Why… I'm the sinful one… Why do you both… end up… here…?"

"The punishment… should have been mine…"

The doctor takes her mask off, revealing herself to be Roberta.

"You again. Is killing your own siblings not enough for you?" Roberta asked Nonoa.

"Me… I… killed them?" Nonoa thought to herself, falling to her knees with her eyes widened in utter disbelief.

"Must be Alice's doing." Alya commented.

"Alice… did this?" Nonoa asked Alya.

"And… Uh, Masachika's girlfriend? Wait, what's going on here? Who's Alice?" Roberta asked Alya in confusion. "Why is this vile woman with you?"

"Alice is Miyamae Nonoa's actual clone who has taken her spot. And by clone, I mean genetically identical clone, not like the mass-produced Nonoa clones out there." Alya explained.

"… I see. My apologies, I didn't mean to curse you." Roberta apologized to the grieving Nonoa.

"No. You were not wrong to blame me. I enabled all this. Their blood is on me." Nonoa replied with a cumbersome tone.

"What are you doing here, Roberta?" Alya asked her.

"I have been kidnapped and forced to analyze and gather genetic data from these two since the last medical and genetic expert… committed suicide." Roberta explained.

"I tried to prevent Felbert the masked man and Alice from killing them, but I couldn't do anything against them."

"I overheard that they want to collect their genetic data to make Nonoa- I mean Alice to stay pretty, young, alive, and healthy forever."

"They also want to make… a younger child version along with a male version of Nonoa clones before mass-producing them."

"All because the Muslims demanded children to… sleep with."

"Motherfuckers…" Nonoa cursed vehemently in her mind. "My clones aren't enough!?"

"I see." Alya replied. "You did what you could."

Alya then pulls Ayano's hands off his ears and asks for her help. "Ayano, open your eyes. Nonoa needs your help. Just don't be shocked at the sight."

Ayano slowly opens her eyes, and it is not as bad as she expected.

"I have seen worse when I was working as A3's assassin." Ayano said.

Ayano quickly moves towards Nonoa's side to comfort her.

"There there… Let it all out…" Ayano said to Nonoa while rubbing her back.

Alya, on the other hand, immediately informs the protector group and John.

"We have made contact with Roberta, Lea, and Leo. I'm sending everything we gathered now." Alya said to them all.

"… I see. I'm happy Roberta is doing fine." John responded. "But to hear those two didn't make it… Well… My condolences."

"… A3 never fails to one-up their own evil deeds. And the death cult supports it just because they also fulfill their carnal wishes!" Yuki responded, cursing A3, Islam, and the ONA project.

"Alya, is it possible to take their corpses out of there? At least, let's give them a proper funeral." Masachika asked.

"It's possible." Alya responded.

"… Proceed with the mission, Alya." Masachika said to her. "And uh, how's Nonoa?"

Alya answers, "Her lack of empathy is disappearing. However, I fear that having such terrible feelings to be the first thing she ever felt, may make her close herself up for eternity." 

"I will help with handling Nonoa's feelings after we are clear. For now, focus on the mission." Masachika said to Alya.

"Alya, please keep Nonoa in check. I'm worried about her." Sayaka said to Alya.

"I understand. Closing call now." Alya said before stopping her transmission.

After that, Alya quickly assigns tasks to everyone.

"Roberta, please help with packing Lea and Leo's dissected corpses into a container and destroy any data you gathered from them."

"Ayano, Nonoa, I want you two to knock out every guard around and open every prison cell in Level B4 along with everyone still sane in Level B2."

"You may kill guards who are dangerous or uncooperative. Ask the prisoners to help carry them too."

"Make sure to tell the prisoners to use the bigger and sturdier cargo elevator to shorten moving time."

"Please be done in 15 minutes."

"Within that time frame, we will rendezvous at level B0 with the protector group. Contact anyone if you are facing an issue you cannot solve."

Alya then looks at Nonoa and pats her shoulders.

"And Nonoa, we have to focus now. We can sort out your feelings later."

"They all died just to make you able to feel something."

"Don't expire here. Make their sacrifices count. Save this world." Alya told Nonoa while patting her back, trying to show her the silver lining in this tragedy.

Nonoa gathers herself together and nods along with Roberta and Ayano.

"… Alright. I'll hold on… For the sake of avenging them." Nonoa replied after slapping herself and taking a deep breath.

Roberta quickly tries to contain Lea and Leo's body parts and destroy any data she collected about them.

Ayano and Nonoa swiftly depart, knocking out every single guard they see before they can raise the alarm while breaking every prison cell using their weapons.

Alya sneaks her way to the elevator and descends to the lowest level of the facility.

"Get out, everyone. Stay silent and don't get caught." Nonoa said after slicing the prison door open.

"Thank you… And I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier." One of the prisoners said to Nonoa.

"No. You were all right in condemning me. I need to change." Nonoa replied.

"But know this, I'll correct everything and end this misery once and for all."

"I'm done hiding and cowering selfishly in safety."

"Please lend me your strength."

– Lower Yoshiwara: Level B5 (Basement 5) / Floor -5, Main Control room --

Alya successfully sneaked her way to the elevator down to Level B5 alone.

"No life signs were detected on the entire level. Proceeding to hack the main control terminal."

Alya quickly accesses the main control terminal and planted the program to detonate the fusion reactors on level B3 in a few hours.

"Data found. Unlocking and Decrypting…"

"Data by Dr. R. Gerald…"

"Dr. R. Gerald died from suicide not long ago."

"His last message was 'God forgive us'."

"Accessing data… compiling… summarizing…"

 

[YYYY/MM/DD]

Eve project, which was put forward by myself, is finally put into practice. How exciting.

The plan was to clone the subject Miyamae Nonoa for mass prostitution purposes.

She is indeed very beautiful. The beauty must be replicated perfectly if I want to gain more funding and influence.

Thus, using normal HeLa cells is out of question. I don't want the clone to be a blob of cancer. I am not making Deadpool or some edgy hedgehog here.

 

[YYYY/MM/DD]

Cloning successful.

After 2 weeks. The prototype is finally born and is an exact replica of the original Miyamae Nonoa. As expected of me.

Using my very own rapid growth substances, VR training, and advanced technology reverse-engineered from the aliens' Cryopod, it's finally here.

The original subject named her clone Alice Carroll.

Branding and marking are done inside both of the clone's eyelids in order to easily distinguish the original with the clone.

 

[YYYY/MM/DD]

The cloning process turns out to be too long, prone to failure, and expensive as expected.

Not to mention, Alice's lifespan has been greatly shortened because she inherited the originals' Telomere length when she's 18, and suffered Telomere damage due to being exposed to my rapid growth substances. She will age rapidly, and probably can only live for around 10 years, given a healthy environment.

Telomere restoration using Telomerase is also impossible. Her rapidly aging cells will just turn into cancer cells.

Alice is also infertile, as her egg cells always die as soon as they leave her ovaries.

Alice was sold to an eccentric businessman from Torikachi corporation who idolizes Miyamae Nonoa.

In order to keep their interest and support, I agreed to help with their new ONA project.

It's cutting corners, but sometimes you don't need lasers when flashlights can do the task just fine.

The original is frozen in Cryopod again to preserve her genetic information.

 

[YYYY/MM/DD]

Alice has gone mad and took over the original Miyamae Nonoa's place. I can't discuss it with anyone else.

She kept torturing me to help prevent her rapid aging and short lifespan, while fixing her sterility.

The ONA project is successful…

… But the cost… is too much.

And I… am tormented more by my conscience than with Alice's treatment.

I want to be acknowledged, but not at this price...

 

[YYYY/MM/DD]

God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

I should not have toyed with the sanctity of life.

I abused my free will and your gift of intelligence.

We were so preoccupied with whether we could, that we didn't stop to think if we should.

I have to prevent them from abusing my intelligence.

Even if I have to terminate myself.

If anyone reads this, please tell my grandson Ivo that I love him.

 

–- END OF FILE --

 

"Data about Kenzaki Touya and the masked man has been expunged and kept to bare minimum, as expected. Censored, even."

"The terminal is also connected to the entire database network of A3."

" Planting backdoor…"

Alya immediately copies and encrypts all data she finds in the terminal, then deletes all data about the ONA project to prevent it from ever being recreated again before retreating back to the elevator.
