Chapter 1

Oh, crap.

I completely forgot about the specimens that the captain asked me to get.

Even if I start gathering them now, I'm not sure I can find enough.

Akon, have you prepared those specimens yet?

Captain! The truth is, um, I'm not quite there yet.

Tch. Honestly, you are hopeless.

I'm sorry.

Well, no matter. I predicted that something like this might happen, so I had Nemu collect some ahead of time.

You, come and help.

Yes, sir.

(That's a relief. Still, what kind of people did she find to serve as specimens, and where?)

I have been waiting for you. Master Mayuri, this is our first specimen.

Huh? Specimen? What's going on?! I just came here with the captain.

We've been asked to tighten up this flabby body of his.

Yeah. His body isn't exactly a great match for the Stealth Force, after all.

Whenever I see him, he's always eating something. He's gotten so fat. It's disgraceful.

Hey, I'll have you know, I'm not "fat." I just have a body that's full of an abundance of happiness.

A simple task. Akon, prepare the medicine.

Yes, sir.

Hey! Listen to me!

Excellent. Well then, I'll leave him with you.

W-Wait, Captain! Don't just leave me here. Nooo!

You're awfully loud, you know that?

Damn it! I'm not going to die heeere!

Oh.

Forgive me. He got away.

You hopeless fools.

Still, considering his large frame, he is quite fast on his feet. Very interesting, yes. Just as one might expect of the Stealth Force.

Though with my help, we could reduce his air resistance, or add mimesis functionality so that he can change his color and shape. He could become even better suited still.

Oh, well. Bring me the next specimen.

Understood.
