Eighty-Sixth Chapter

Fragile Peace

It took several hours to complete a thorough search of the Institute grounds to confirm that all of the attackers, the escaped prisoners, were gone. Finally, the investigators concluded that the terrorists had been cleared from the campus.

Of course, things weren’t so simple that that was the end of it. After all, it was safe to say that the myth of safety within the human domain had been shattered. The Fiends that had suddenly appeared in the Institute had confused the military contingent that arrived. They had been eliminated, but their corpses remained rather than turning to dust.

Moreover, there was a hole from the room containing Minerva to the surface, and Dante had most likely escaped through that. Sisty had personally confirmed it as well.

Using his men and the mutant phenomenon of Ambrosia to cover his escape, Dante had successfully disappeared. And the oldest AWR, Minerva, had been stolen. There were 138 casualties and 59 deaths (out of which two were students).

The Institute was still recovering from the aftermath of the gruesome attack.

“Well...this is a mess,” a black-haired boy muttered as he looked up at the destroyed research building.

The silver-haired girl accompanying him followed up with a pout, saying deadpan, “Yes. It’s a mess. Please look at this, Sir Alus. Our home has been turned into an observation deck. What skillful work. I must find the skilled artisan responsible and thank them... Sir Alus, I have never tortured anyone before, but do you think I will be able to do it well? I hope they’ll be sorry.”

The anger and shock had removed all expression from her. Like she said, it was awful. Alus’s laboratory would be unusable for a while.

That said, something about how she’d called it “our home” felt wrong. Sure, they were partners and lived in the same room, but they weren’t a couple like Loki had made it sound.

“Well, just calm down,” said Alus. “Still, they just had to hit while I was gone. We’ll need to start by finding out why they targeted the Institute. And then there are the assassins that were sent after me. I want to find out what kind of information network they have.”

“Th-That’s true, but...l-look at it! After gathering furniture and furnishings little by little, we were finally able to live comfortably! And yet...” Loki wasn’t supposed to be the type to get attached to things, but she was reacting like a normal person over this, depressed and angry.

True, there had been valuable research material in the room, but Alus just had a vague hope that they were undamaged. If the room was unlivable, he would just find somewhere else. Materials could just be gathered again.

The wall had completely collapsed and the inside was plain to see. In particular, the living room area, where Tesfia and the others had sat around the table, was completely gouged out, including the ceiling and floor.

If they looked through the area now, all they’d find were broken pieces of furniture. But Alus knew if he said that aloud, Loki would no doubt frown and let out a heavy sigh.
