The Chosen Ones Also Want a Youth Romance Story

"Ah...is that so?"

Hearing what Yukinoshita Yukino said, the staff member did not confirm it again. He took out his cell phone and prepared to call other free staff members to ask them to take Kanda Osamu away.

"Hey, this uncle..."

The moment he saw the staff member take out his phone, Kanda knew what he was going to do. He raised his hand and pointed to the toilet on the side, and said hesitantly: "Can... let them wait for me outside? I'm going to the toilet."

"Okay, go ahead." The staff nodded, without any doubt about his words.

As he stood up and passed by Yukinoshita Yukino, Kanda Osamu lowered his voice and said to her:

"Thank you for your help, Minister..."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded, and as Kanda Osamu disappeared from her sight, she turned to the staff and Takahashi Kyoko beside her and said:

"Let's continue our tour."

Kanda Osamu knew very well the purpose of his choice to do a job internship at Kamishiro Enterprise. After entering the toilet cubicle, he closed the toilet lid in front of him, took out a computer from the backpack he was carrying and put it aside.

"Tyrannosaurus, record this node."

After confirming the network connection, he took out the Tyrannosaurus and aimed it at the laptop. After receiving confirmation from Omegamon, he quickly ran out of the toilet.

When they had just visited the workplace, the staff had already written down all the places they had mentioned briefly. The outer corridor was empty at this time, and while no one else had arrived yet, Kanda Osamu took out his mobile phone, which contained some information and voice messages that Nishijima Daigo had investigated through DATS.

Nishijima Daigo: "Kanda, if you have a chance please go to the laboratory on the left side of the first floor of the Kamishiro Building."

Laboratory room...

Kanda Osamu took off his school uniform jacket, leaving only a white shirt that didn't reveal his student identity, and walked lightly through the slightly open door of the reference room. When passing through the crowded studio, he lowered his head and tried his best to reduce his presence, passing by them as if nothing had happened.

The workers who had been notified should be going to the toilet soon, and he estimated that he only had fifteen minutes left. As long as these workers were not stupid, they would definitely notice something unusual in ten minutes, so he had to hurry.

In his opinion, the internal structure of Kamishiro Enterprise was not complicated. He still remembered that he had just passed by the laboratory mentioned in Nishijima Daigo's text message. Kanda Osamu turned left at the corner, took a quick glance to confirm that there was no danger, and quickly moved to the end of this side.

He stopped only when he could clearly see the gate at the end. He suddenly looked up. The words "Kamiyo Laboratory" were exactly the same as the address mentioned in the text message.

This is it...

Kanda Osamu tentatively reached out his hand and placed it on the door handle. After confirming that the door was not locked, he slowly pushed the door open and tiptoed into the laboratory.

It seems that not many people come to this laboratory on normal days. Some debris is piled up in a mess on the floor, and one can clearly feel the turbid air in the room when entering.

Kanda Osamu looked around the laboratory and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one there. He noticed that the most important things in the laboratory were probably the computer on the desk on the right and the files that were neatly sealed and placed in the cabinet next to it.

After thinking for a moment, Kanda came to his desk and turned on his computer. He opened a sealed document randomly drawn from the filing cabinet. It clearly read "Research Group 4 Report"

February 13th

Makoto Yamashina from Research Group 4 successfully developed a new technology that solved the speed problem of network services.

On the same day, the fourth research group successfully applied the revolutionary virtual reality technology to the electronic space EDEN in the evening, which brought them one step closer to realizing their plan of living in the electronic space.

Normal log entry... He slid his eyes down to the last day of the log.

April 3rd

Today, it was decided to upgrade the system of the electronic space EDEN to stabilize the operation of the entire space and add AI with consulting capabilities.

He put down the documents in his hand and moved his eyes to the computer that was already turned on. He sat on it and clicked on it to enter the desktop.

No password? So defenseless...

Kanda Osamu muttered to himself as he searched for what he wanted on the desk filled with documents.

The study included four groups...

Found it! In the third column from the lower left of the desktop, Kanda Osamu found a folder that recorded the entire research process of the four research groups.

"Ash--" Omegamon's voice suddenly sounded when he was about to open the folder.

"Something's coming."

Outside the door of this laboratory, Omegamon who was in the Tyrannosaurus Rex inexplicably felt a familiar breath. Although he didn't know what it was, his instinct for danger warning made him speak out to alert Kanda Osamu.

Kanda Osamu held his breath and concentrated on capturing the movements outside.

Soon, he heard a slight "clicking" sound on the floor of this floor. Just as Omegamon's instinctive warning had warned him, the owner of the shoes was walking leisurely towards his laboratory.

While the man was still some distance away from the laboratory, he turned his attention back to the computer and carefully examined the electronic document.

The sound of high-heeled footsteps gradually became clearer from outside. Under great pressure, Kanda Osamu found the most crucial information at the end of the document.

Note: As the research team 4 led by Makoto Yamashina attempted to leak corporate secrets, they have been sent home after their memories were erased.

Erase memory?

Seeing this, Kanda Osamu immediately recalled the commission given to him by Kurumi Anko.

Investigating the staff members of Kamishiro Enterprise who have recently suffered from inexplicable amnesia.

"Oh? It seems like a little mouse slipped in from outside. Is it my illusion?"

The owner of the footsteps finally stopped outside the door of this laboratory. She did not push the door open immediately, but just crossed her arms and talked to herself.

Kanda Shu stopped all his movements, not daring to make any noise to expose his presence. The invisible pressure was like a hand tightly grasping his heart. He observed everything in the room, trying to find a way out.

"Okay, hurry up and come out, okay?"

The person outside put his hand on the laboratory door handle.

The inner tension reached its highest point at this moment. Kanda stared at the door without making any sound.

"Ms. Kishibe?"

Different from the voice of the mature woman outside the door, a cold voice came from behind this woman.

"Hmmmm..." Rie Kishibe stopped opening the door, turned around to see the person behind her, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Isn't this Yukino? Why are you here?" She put her hand to her mouth and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with curiosity.

"This gentleman took us here to visit..."

Yukinoshita's expression was as calm as usual. She pointed to where the receptionist was not far away.

"Then I saw you, Miss Kishibe, and I came up to say hello to you."

At this point, she paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Did I disturb you, Miss Kishibe?"

"Xukinokazu is still as rigid as Yuuko-chan." Kishibe Riie looked relaxed and smiled slightly, "Your mother asked me to take good care of you during this internship."

"Mother..." Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head.

"Alright." Kishibe Rie clapped her hands, "Shall we go somewhere else to chat?"

"……it is good."

After a moment of silence, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.

Rie Kishibe walked up to Yukinoshita with light steps. She was very graceful and curious and asked Yukinoshita about her impressions of the intern. Yukinoshita told her seriously about her impressions of Kamishiro Enterprise.

Inside the room, Kanda Osamu, who was listening carefully to the noise outside, took a deep breath. The sound of the two people's footsteps going away finally made him feel relieved.

After he could no longer hear any noise outside, he put everything in order and quietly pushed the door open.

He came outside to the public display screen for ordinary people to use, raised the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and with a flash of light, he disappeared on the spot.

Chapter 24 Cursed Thorns

"…Classmate? Classmate?"

When Kanda Osamu detached himself from the computer node in the toilet cubicle, there was a knock on the door.

"coming."

With a reply, he put his things away and opened the door.

"Student, how are you?" The receptionist looked at him with concern.

"I'm much better now, thank you." Kanda Osamu nodded.

When he walked out of the toilet cubicle, he did not arouse the suspicion of the staff at all. The new staff member took him for a casual tour and then returned to the lobby of Kamishiro Enterprise.

At this time, the students who had finished the tour gathered in the center of the hall.

"Is Kanda-san feeling better?" Kanda raised his head while thinking and heard Takahashi Kyoko's gentle voice.

Kanda Osamu shrugged and smiled, "It's much better now."

"Kanda-kun." A familiar voice came from behind.

Yukinoshita Yukino stood there quietly, with no expression on her calm face.

The cooperation at the beginning was very tacit. If Yukinoshita hadn't easily seen through Kanda Osamu's performance, it would not have been so easy for him to slip away.

Kanda Osamu winked at her and said with a smile, "Has the Minister finished his tour?"

"Yeah." A faint smile appeared on Yukinoshita Yukino's face, "How about Kanda-kun, how was your harvest?"

"...I feel like this company isn't really suitable for me." He said in a rather casual tone.

Yukinoshita looked at him and said in a mocking tone:

"It's okay. Kamishiro doesn't necessarily need Kanda-kun."

Her voice was as calm as water, and no one could hear anything strange about it. Kanda Osamu shrugged and smiled, without saying anything else.

……

The job internship at Sobu High School ends at 5pm.

After seeing off the students who had been visiting the company for the entire afternoon, the staff within Kamishiro Enterprise also breathed a sigh of relief.

Rie Kishibe walked in front with brisk steps, humming an unknown tune.

"Oh? Come out quickly, little thing inside." Standing in front of the laboratory door, Riie Kishibe asked again.

The burly bodyguard behind him stepped forward and glanced at the immersed Kishibe Riie. He said coldly, "You say the same thing every time you come. Aren't you bored?"

"What do you know?"

With a cold snort, Kishibe Riie turned her head and looked at him, "In human terms, this is called deception in war."

She pushed open the laboratory door and stepped into this place which actually recorded confidential files.

"I asked them all today, and no student left my sight. I guess these students don't have the guts to do that."

The bodyguard nodded after hearing what Kishibe said. He looked around and indeed didn't find anything strange.

"Is the gate going to be opened again today?"

His voice was strange and there was no emotion in it, and he was saying words that no one else could understand.

"Yes, the goods coming over there today were carefully selected by a certain guy."

An exaggerated smile appeared on Rie Kishibe's face. She stretched out her hand and pointed it at the computer in front of her. Suddenly, the room was filled with light.

The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the horizon, and red clouds floated in the sky.

Kanda Osamu was walking on his way home. Today's investigation not only failed to solve the problems in his mind, but instead provided him with a lot of doubts.

He was thinking about how to properly inform DATS about the artificial erasure of memory, and what kind of corporate secrets would make Kamishiro use the memory erasure on Yamashina Makoto.

"I have to meet this researcher Kamishiro if I get a chance."

Kanda Osamu complained in his heart, he didn't expect to gain much from his job internship.

The setting sun in the distance had gradually merged with the clouds. He was walking slowly like this. Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and subconsciously took the Tyrannosaurus Rex out of his bag.

"Ash, the gate seems to be open again." Omegamon's reminder reached his ears.

“…I understand.” Kanda Osamu called Nishijima Daigo.

"Hello? Kanda, I was just about to call you." Nishijima Daigo looked at the monitor that had just sent a notification and took a deep breath, "Where are you now?"

It was too late to clean up the area where the gate was open. The gate to the digital world had already been opened. DATS urgently dispatched two Chosen Ones to the scene and asked field personnel to cooperate with the Metropolitan Police Department to minimize the losses.

"It's too late, teacher." Kanda Osamu said without hesitation, "Wherever the door is open, I'll go straight there."

"...Okay, the gate is at the animal park." Nishijima Daigo immediately added: "Be careful, the data sent back from the scene should be the Ultimate Form."
