Chapter - 136 [Project Mosaic]
The two arrived at Chifuyu's room, only to notice how Ichika was being attacked by his girlfriend ". . ."
"Chifuyu Nee, Cloud?!" Ichika exclaimed with embarrassment.
"!" - Rin blushed but inside she was grateful that they weren't doing something much more intimate.
"I don't care if you want to deepen your relationship even more, after all, you're teenagers with raging hormones... but I'd rather you knew how to resist your instincts a bit" - Chifuyu said neutrally - "Well, I'll give you the night off so they can do what you want, I just hope you don't overdo it"
Ichika's face flushed with embarrassment as he took his now girlfriend's hand and ran out of the place, putting aside the questions he had about the reason for the presence of his sister and friend in his room - "Wait a second ... Impossible!"
"What's wrong, Ichika?" asked Rin, who still had her cheeks rosy with grief.
"Didn't you see, Cloud and Chifuyu Nee were left alone in the room?!" Ichika exclaimed in terror.
"Are you thinking the same thing as me?!" - Rin said with terror.
"It's possible…" the black-haired boy murmured as he felt his face lose all color.
"Congratulations, Ichika…you have a new big brother…" Rin sighed as she put her hand on her boyfriend's shoulder.
". . ." -Ichika froze when he heard this because he honestly never thought that Chifuyu would get a boyfriend, with her being so neutral.
* * * * *
"That was... disturbing..." Cloud murmured as he made the decision to erase that image from his mind- "Shall we continue?"
"Ok..." -the woman agreed with discomfort because she honestly never thought to talk about this again-"Let's start with the objective of the project and then we will delve a little into the subject..."
Cloud nodded at this because he felt this information was important to the overall plot of this world.
"The [Mosaic Project], is a secret project of the Japanese government that was intended to reach a new chapter in the evolution of humanity" - Chifuyu said while sighing with regret - "Scientists sought to create a new human race, a that it was stronger, more resistant, more intelligent and with much more military potential"
Cloud frowned when he heard this because hearing about a project like this was not something strange for him, after all, it was a plot that many worlds used on their protagonists, but the thing was that in most cases, these projects ended up causing more harm than good.
"In that project, they took the last 10 descendants of a clan that had created great exponents of Japan, the formerly famous Orimura clan" - Chifuyu said regretfully - "They took the young and old as guinea pigs while the elders were discarded..."
Cloud's expression distorted slightly but he quickly calmed down.
"Of all of them... only one test subject survived... me..." - the woman continued while looking out the window - "I was subjected to constant injections of genetic alterers to be able to enhance each of my abilities and so on." reach the limit of what is humanly possible and even exceed it, but things did not end there because they went one step further, they... cloned me..."
"!" -Cloud's eyes widened when he heard that because he could see where he was going-"Ichika..."
"Yes... he is my clone... the only clone that managed to survive..." - Chifuyu said sadly.
[Mission Complete: Origin of the Orimura Family]
[Information: The origin of the Orimura Family is full of pain and darkness but despite all that pain, they continue to seek connections with each other]
"Are you sure he's the only one who survived?" Cloud asked seriously because he remembered a small detail.
"What are you talking about?" Chifuyu asked with a frown.
"Because according to the information I got while I was locked up in that Facility, there is a girl in Phantom Task who is almost completely identical to how you were when you were in high school" - the blonde lied, although the information was 100% true - "She even uses an IS technically similar to [Shirokishi]"
"Are you saying that there is another clone of mine that survived?!" Chifuyu exclaimed in surprise as she grabbed the blond by the shoulders. "I hope you're not lying to me."
"No... what I said is 100% true" - Cloud replied calmly - "She uses the Alias of M"
"M..." Chifuyu murmured as she tried to calm her heart. From the look, tone of voice, and vibration of the voice, Cloud wasn't lying about her possibly having a younger sister-"Phantom Task.."
"I couldn't tell you about her life, since I don't know anything about it, but it's quite possible that she was raised by Phantom Task from the beginning" - Cloud said seriously - "As for her goals within the organization... I do not have the slightest idea"
Cloud lied again, after all, he couldn't just tell her that M or Madoka's goal was to kill her for leaving her behind while she saved Ichika. Madoka's hatred for Chifuyu had grown over the years thanks to the images of her taking care of Ichika while she was trained to death in the cruelest ways possible.
"Now it's my turn... and I'm waiting for detailed information"- Chifuyu replied as she coldly looked at the boy-"How did you get that energy, Mana..."
"Thanks to my [Bloodline]" - replied Cloud.
"Blood line?" Chifuyu asked in surprise.
"That's right" -the blonde nodded as he asked the system a mental question to see how far he could explain-"It may sound like a joke, but my blood comes from a Dragon"
"Ok, this is getting weirder and weirder..."-Chifuyu said as she held her forehead because the blonde's words sounded ridiculous-"Now you're just missing that you're not from this world, which wouldn't surprise me"
Cloud just smiled in response but didn't affirm the woman's assumption because that would cause a situation similar to Yuriko's - "Regarding my Draconic Blood, I can assure you that I am 100% human, at least for now"
"For now?" Chifuyu asked as she looked at the boy.
"I can only tell you this" - answered the blond - "And I think we better end the questions here"
". . ." - Chifuyu had many more questions but decided to put them aside because the blonde's expression told her that she wouldn't get any more answers from her, at least not for now - "I hope you don't tell anyone about what I told you because if you do, I will find it necessary to eliminate you and I will not care about the consequences of my actions"
"I know" - nodded the blonde - "I guess that would be all for now, it was a pleasure talking to you"
"Would you like to go on a second date night?" Chifuyu asked.
"Other?" - asked Cloud with surprise - "I didn't expect this"
"Let you know my secret, you don't leave me many alternatives" -the woman sighed as she shook her head- "Two options, one to kill you or keep you as close as possible to make sure you don't talk"
"I understand...so you went for the second one"-Cloud agreed as he looked at the black-haired woman.
"I can't risk killing you because one, I would win Tabane as an enemy, which I sincerely don't want because she is elusive" - Chifuyu said seriously - "And two, I'm not sure if she will be able to kill you because I still don't have complete knowledge of everything your power"
"We've fought many times"-Cloud said as he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes... but a training battle is not the same as a fight to the death"- Chifuyu replied while her eyes shone with intensity-"In our Sparring, you have been holding yourself back just like me, and that's a great variable"
Cloud smiled - "Ok, I'll come pick you up at 8"
The blond quickly opened the door, only to see how Ichika and Rin fell to the ground - "See you, Ichika, Rin"
". . ." - the two mentioned. They quickly stood up with red faces from embarrassment at seeing that they had been caught spying.
"Any good?" Chifuyu asked as she looked at her younger brother.
"I-I was just curious…" Ichika said sadly as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Did you hear anything we talked about?" asked the black-haired woman.
"No…" the boy denied as he looked at his sister in confusion "Are these rooms soundproof?"
"No"-Chifuyu denied as she understood that everything must have been thanks to Cloud's abilities-"Well, I guess you heard that I will have a second date tonight"
"Y-Yes" - Ichika nodded.
"This is good for me, since I will be able to give them the night to do what they want" - Chifuyu said calmly - "Because I will probably sleep at Maya's"
"Where Maya sensei?" - asked the girl from China with surprise. She sincerely hoped that he slept with Cloud.
"Yes..." - nodded the black-haired woman - "It's not like we have to have sex just because we've been out a few times"
"Makes sense, I guess"- Rin nodded as she gave her boyfriend a smile- "It seems you don't have a new older brother"
"Rin!" - Ichika exclaimed with embarrassment while Chifuyu looked at them with amusement - "Ichika..."
"Y-Yes?" - asked the boy.
"I hope you're using protection, because I don't want a nephew so soon" - Chifuyu said seriously.
"!" Ichika blushed profusely as Rin began to release steam from her ears at the older Orimura's words.
"I have to admit it's funny to see them react this way" Chifuyu murmured as she shook her head.
