"And the success rate is extremely low. In all the experiments I have conducted, no more than 3% of the experimental samples have survived. It can be considered a completely accidental result."

"I guess I was lucky. I became the lucky one with a 3% chance of success. After taking the medicine and becoming smaller, I easily broke free from the handcuffs and escaped through the garbage pipe of the gas chamber."

"Garbage pipe?"

Mingmei was a little surprised. She never expected that such an outrageous mistake would occur in the base of an organization known for its strictness, and it happened in the gas chamber where traitors were executed.

Aren’t you afraid that someone will run out through the garbage chute?

However, the girl's next sentence quickly answered her doubts.

"The garbage passage is very narrow. Even with my current size, I can barely fit through it. An adult might not even be able to step in. I think that's why they haven't done anything about it."

"Oh……"

The sisters' conversation stopped here.

Because Dr. Agasa's voice came from downstairs, calling for dinner.

Mingmei got up from the bed, took two quick steps, and stuck her head out of the door. She said she would be there soon, then retracted her head and smiled apologetically at the girl on the bed.

"Sorry, Shiho, I'm going to go downstairs to eat first. It's not convenient for you to go out in your current state. I'll get you some rice and vegetables to bring up later."

"Ok."

She nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay for her to be alone in the room. Just as Miyano Akemi opened the door and walked out of the room and was about to close the door, the girl lying on the bed suddenly groaned, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Mingmei also stopped at the right time and turned her head to look at her sister.

Their eyes met, and the girl was speechless for a moment. After a brief pause, she managed to utter a word.

"Can you please let him come up? I have something to tell him."

"Him? Oh, Sera-kun, right? Wait a minute, I'll go down and call him."

After a brief hesitation, Mingmei reacted immediately, made an OK gesture, and turned to go downstairs.

Half a minute later, the bedroom door was pushed open again. Serabelle walked briskly into the room and sat down on a chair beside the bed. Some fried chicken crumbs could be vaguely seen at the corners of her mouth.

"Mingmei said you have something to tell me?"

"Ah."

Glancing at the red mark on Serabelle's cheek that had not yet faded, the girl spoke with an unprecedented sincerity.

"First... I'm sorry, and then... thank you for saving my sister."

"There's nothing to thank me for. It was just because we had the same interests at the beginning." Serabelle tilted her head. "And what else, is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"besides--"

Taking a deep breath, the girl's voice instantly changed from sincere to disgusted, and her eyes became half-moon-shaped.

"You big pervert."

"..."

Chapter 84 Yukiko: What are you doing next door?

After saying this, the girl seemed to feel a lot better, and the look of disgust on her face disappeared in an instant.

Especially when she saw Serabelle's tired expression, which was similar to that of a certain panda head, she snorted with a little complacency.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. I think my sister should have told you a long time ago that I was a scientist in the organization before this. My code name was Shirley. I was a core member and the person in charge of the research department of the Japanese branch. Although I can't say that I know everything about the organization, I do have a rough understanding of it."

"So if there is anything you want to know, you can ask directly now. I will answer everything I know."

"For example... a drug that can rejuvenate people?" Serabelle raised her eyebrows.

"The full name of the 'drug that can rejuvenate' you mentioned is APTX4869... Well, although the original intention of its development was not to rejuvenate or kill anyone, these are indeed the only two effects at this stage."

Miyano Shiho smiled at herself for some reason and continued.

"Just as you thought, that medicine was indeed developed by me. To be more precise, it was a product of my continued research based on the research funds left by our parents."

"As for the antidote..."

"Unfortunately, this cannot be done at the moment."

Eh?

Serabelle was quite surprised by this answer.

After all, it stands to reason that the antidote should be produced together with the poison or even made before it, just like in many novels, the protagonist accidentally gets poisoned by some strange poison in the deep mountains and forests, and the plot arrangement must be that there must be an antidote within seven steps.

You didn't even make the antidote and just used the poison directly. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?

"Well~ It's not that it's impossible to do it, but the problem now is——"

After a brief pause, the girl's shoulders hidden under the quilt shrugged slightly.

“There is no recipe.”

"what?"

"Hey, you don't think making poison is like the way the chef at the vegetable store in the market makes braised beef, do you?"

Looking at the gradually dull and determined face of the person beside the bed, the girl narrowed her eyes again.

"Not to mention that even the old masters usually write down their formulas on a list. You have to know that these are medicines that are completely ahead of their time. There are hundreds or even thousands of ingredients designed, and the proportions are all different. How can you think that people can remember them all with just their brains?"

Ok……

It seems that this is indeed the case?

"So is there anything else you want to ask?"

Before Serabelle could speak, Miyano Shiho interrupted the conversation.

"By the way, if you want to ask about the organization's location, forget it. Given Gin's personality, he would have ordered a retreat immediately after finding out that I didn't die in the gas chamber. I guess the base building was deserted hours ago."

Also.

Serabelle thought.

So he changed the question: "I want to ask someone, do you know that there is a person in the organization who is very good at impersonating other people? It seems that no matter the appearance, voice, height, body shape, etc., he can restore it 100% perfectly."

As if she had heard the description of an extremely terrifying person, even in the warm, soft and safe bed, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Serabelle was acutely aware of the girl's mood changes.

"Know him?" he asked tentatively.

Without replying immediately, the girl took a deep breath.

"I do know the person you are talking about. You can call her Vermouth, or you can also call her the Thousand-Faced Witch."

"It sounds like it's of high quality."

……

The conversation between the two did not last long.

It wasn't because Serabelle was so hungry that she ended the conversation hastily and ran downstairs to eat.

Instead, the intelligence information provided by the girl perfectly demonstrated to him what "excellent confidentiality work" meant.

After all, he is the head of the research and development department of the winery's branch in Japan. If he were in some Fortune 500 companies, he would be the general agent of a certain country or region, and he should be familiar with the situation of the entire branch.

However, the reality is quite the opposite.

Not to mention the situation of the entire branch, as for Miyano Shiho herself, she only knew the code name, appearance and research progress of each member of her direct organization.

That’s right, it’s only limited to the R&D department, and they don’t even know the real names of their direct subordinates, where their hometowns are, or what they like to eat.

As for executives like Gin, they are completely clueless.

All we know is that the guy with long silver hair is called Gin, he is fierce and cold-blooded, everyone is afraid of him, and that's all.

The main focus is to not interfere with the private lives of employees.

The only thing that could be considered a gain was knowing the code name Vermouth, other than that, there was nothing else.

The scene changes, and in the living room on the first floor of the villa, three people are sitting at the dining table eating.

The fried chicken I bought in the morning had been on the table for so long that it had already gone cold, so I threw it into the air fryer and re-baked it.

Although it is definitely not as delicious as when it is freshly cooked, it tastes okay as long as you are not too picky.

Especially for Professor Agasa, the way he ate so much didn't look like he minded at all.

I am indeed a fried chicken lover...

Serabelle, who was sitting opposite with her bowl and chopsticks in hand, thought to herself.

However, the next second, he felt the bowl in his hand sink.

Looking down, Mingmei was putting a huge piece of fried chicken that looked fragrant and crispy into his bowl. Her smiling face seemed to be radiating the radiance of motherhood all the time.

"Come on, eat more. Sera-kun seems to be about the same age as Shiho. Seventeen or eighteen years old is the time when your body grows. You need to eat more."

Grow up...

As if the key words suddenly reminded him of something, Dr. Agasa barely broke away from the temptation of fried chicken and raised his head. His gray beard was covered with golden oil.

"By the way, Mingmei, help Shiho measure her body data later. I'll go to the children's clothing store in the city center after lunch to buy some clothes."

"buying clothes?"

Mingmei was stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

"Isn't that a bit too much trouble for you, Doctor? I'll just buy it online when the time comes..."

"It will take several days to deliver it in that case. Mingmei, you can't always let your sister hide in the room wrapped in a blanket and not go anywhere. Besides, she has to go to the bathroom all the time."

Dr. Agasa scratched his head and made the final decision.

"It's okay. I'll go there when the time comes."

Looking at his positive attitude, it's as if he had a daughter in his old age and found out a few weeks later that he had a granddaughter.

Enjoying the happiness of family is the best.

"Then thank you very much, Doctor..." Mingmei smiled gratefully.

Then she looked at Serabelle beside her.

"Sera-kun, you're not in a hurry to leave this afternoon, right?"

"I……"

Serabelle had no intention of staying here any longer in the afternoon and was thinking of making up an excuse to run away.

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

I took it out and saw that it was a text message from Yukiko.

[Are you free? When can you come over? ]

Also attached below is a photo taken from the yard of Kudo's house next door, showing his Audi parked in front of Agasa's house.

Ah this...

Chapter 85 Honeymoon Plans with Yukiko

Because of Yukiko's invitation, Serabell declined Miyano Akemi's invitation to stay and chat for a while after lunch.

But think about it, after all, if you don't consider the distance between the yards of the detached villas, the two sides are actually almost neighbors.

He parked his car outside Agasa's house, so Yukiko could see him whenever she went out to take out the trash.

Just like yesterday, Akemi caught herself sending Yukiko home, so history always repeats itself in a surprising way.

Wait, why use the word "catch"?

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

So time came to after lunch, and while the rain outside was gradually stopping, Dr. Agasa drove his Beetle to the city center to buy children's clothes.

Serabelle walked for twenty seconds to Kudo's house, which was next to Agasa's house.
