Chief Director of Experiment Z'.
I couldn't refuse the offer Z made. The salary was so high I wondered if he was some kind of sucker, especially since he was offering it to someone like me with zero relevant experience. He had to be absolutely insane.
And by joining this lab, I was the even crazier one.
Z, who was scribbling something in a research log, suddenly snapped his head up.
Guest, you're here? We've already had two breakthroughs today. Two...! Haa...
Z trembled as if overcome with excitement. I couldn't tell if he'd finally found an attack that worked on Ronan or if he was just hallucinating from days of sleep deprivation, but this was nothing new. Anyway, as long as the paycheck keeps coming.
Guest played along while stroking Claude. If I ignored him, he'd surely come closer and rant wildly about his research results.
I see. So, which subject am I supposed to handle today?
Z's eyes narrowed. The way the corners of his mouth curled up was ominous. What the hell is he trying to dump on me now...
Ah, that subject...
He hesitated, uncharacteristically stalling, before finally continuing.
It's the reason your salary was set so high. It's also why hazard pay is included in that salary. I don't want to die, after all. No, certainly not.
Feeling a sense of dread at his stalling.
What is it? Is it something like Claude but holding a knife?
Claude was a cute liquid monster acting adorable in Guest's arms. The way he changed his shape freely made him look like a cat 'making biscuits'.
