Chapter 115 – Episode 15. Acquisition of PMC
On Fussa City’s Fixer Street, the largest building was a black building with a red neon sign that read Black Tech.
It was a building made of special black glass that was almost invisible inside, and the glass was treated to prevent eavesdropping and be bulletproof. Even just one piece of glass was very expensive, and the fact that it was plastered all over the building showed how rich this company called Black Tech was.
The person who created a company that was successful enough to own a building like this was a man named Renya Komisawa.
He was a former vice president of Seryu Military Company. After the death of the president, Ryuta Sawayanagi, he became independent with more than half of Seryu Military Company’s employees and created a company of this size in 6 years.
When Ryuta Sawayanagi, the former president of Seryu Military Company, rescued test subjects from the lab, Renya Komisawa secretly backed up all the lab’s data, saying he was going to destroy it.
Renya Komisawa, who became independent from Seryu Military Company, sold the unidentified laboratory materials at a very high price to two large Japanese groups and several overseas companies. In return, Renya Komisawa received money he had never had in his life.
With that money, Renya Komisawa acquired several companies that seemed good in the small PMC-only fixer’s town and combined the personnel of Seryu Military Company that followed them to create Black Tech.
Black Tech, whose size was different from other PMCs in the problem solving market from the beginning, has continued to grow and has become a large PMC, currently ranked 15th in Japan. It was thanks to the research materials stolen by Renya Komisawa.
From the beginning, Black Tech had a scientific research team that was difficult to find in small and medium-sized PMCs, and that research team was a research team that interpreted the research data stolen by Renya Komisawa.
The research yielded results on several battle potions and body modifications, but the research did not progress any further, and what was essential to the research was the test subjects in the laboratory.
Renya Komisawa began harassing Seryu Military Company four years ago after receiving a report that a test subject was needed. He used a trick to seize the training grounds and equipment owned by Seryu Military Company. This time, he pressured Tojima Sato, who held most of the debt, to receive the rights to Seryu Military Company’s debt.
“If this is the case, you won’t reject our acquisition offer, right? “It would be better to have the name Black Tech than to fail completely.”
Renya Komisawa was a middle-aged man with white hair and a mustache. She was a soldier and a businesswoman, so her body looked solid and her eyes were very sharp. Standing next to her was a man named Tomano Toki (苫野斗貴), who had been with her since the administration of Seryu Military Company, and held the title of Chief Secretary.
“No matter how stubborn Azuma is, I will accept it this time.”
“I shouldn’t have said from the beginning that I needed a test subject.”
In the first place, this was not the first attempt to take over Seryu Military Company. When I first heard the report, an attempt was made to take over, but at the time, the story was progressing smoothly in the beginning. However, the problem was that he had unconsciously said that he needed a test subject.
After that, Azuma Sawayanagi made the purpose of Black Tech known to all the employees of Seryu Military Company, making it difficult to appease him as an individual, and he used Azuma Sawayanagi’s foresight to avoid Black Tech’s behind-the-scenes work, which is how he came to this point.
“It would be better for the family to be in our hands rather than to be scattered.”
Komisawa Renya smiled darkly. While Renya Gomisawa was laughing, the door to her president’s office burst open and someone came running out in a huff. She was one of the secretaries working under Tomano Toki.
“Yes, boss! “There is a rumor that a woman is asking about Seryu Military Company!”
“What? “Have you figured out her identity?”
“I am informing you as soon as I hear this information, so as far as the identity…”
“Find out quickly! Hurry!”
The secretary who came to report to Komisawa Renya’s shouting quickly left the president’s office again with a sour expression on her face. Komisawa Renya’s expressions became complicated as they watched this.
On the outside, Seryu Military Company looked terrible. It was an unremarkable place with poor facilities and poor facilities, with no systematic work and only occasionally picking up work based on relationships built up by previous generations.
Only a few people knew that Seryu Military Company’s personnel were outstanding, and only a small portion of those who knew that knew that Seryu Military Company’s people had super powers. Komisawa Renya was one of them.
“Toki.”
“Yes, boss.”
“You go find out. I don’t know where you’re coming from, so don’t be rude. “Why are you asking about Seryu Tai and what are you planning to do with Seryu Tai?”
“All right.”
It was Renya Komisawa who entrusted the task to his chief secretary, Tomano Toki, probably because he thought it would not be a matter for the secretary who had just left. Tomano Toki bowed his head deeply and left the president’s office.
###
“Have I become too relaxed these days?”
Chieri Mimatachi noticed her following at some point. She seemed to have some problems with her senses, perhaps because it had been a while since she mixed her body with Ryuta Taira’s. Normally, she would have sensed that she was being followed long ago, but she noticed that she was being followed much later than usual.
I can’t shake it off. Mimatachieri muttered to herself and approached the man who was following her.
“What are you doing?”
“!”
The man seemed very embarrassed, probably not thinking that he would be followed.
“…My boss wants to see you.”
“Then please guide me. “I wonder what kind of person you are.”
“Now, could you please wait a moment?”
It was a strange man who asked me to wait and called somewhere. It was probably his superior who wanted to see Mimata Chieri. After talking on the phone for a while, Mihaeng looked at Chieri Mimata and opened her mouth.
“He said he would meet me at a nearby cafe. “Please follow me.”
“Of course. I hope the story ends quickly. “I’m busy too.”
Chieri Mimata, following her companion, went to a cafe called Kokage (木陰). As the name of the cafe suggests, it was a building made of wood. When I got there, the person named Sang-Ong was sitting down drinking tea as if he had already arrived.
“Hello?”
“Hello.”
“The cars here are very good. Would you like a drink?”
“No, I’m not thirsty.”
It was Chieri Mimata who gave an answer to the suggestion of the handsome man’s superior that included the implication that he would not be here for long.
Chieri Mimata looked at the man sitting across from her. Judging by his short-cut hair, rough bronze skin, and sitting posture, he looked like an official from the PMC.
“This is who I am.”
The man handed the business card to Chieri Mimata. The business card said Tomano Toki, Chief of Staff at Black Tech. He is also a PMC-related person.
Black Tech was a famous PMC that Chieri Mimata also knew about. As a PMC with know-how in body modification, most of its soldiers underwent biological modification, resulting in excellent combat performance.
However, he said that rumor had it that the mission process was not smooth, possibly due to a side effect of the renovation. It was said that his troops often acted unexpectedly and were very violent. Rumors were secretly spreading that he was said to commit unnecessary massacres or commit cannibalism.
Although Black Tech denied all of these rumors, the rumors that kept coming back were not good.
“Sorry. “It’s been a while since I changed jobs, so I haven’t been able to make a business card yet.”
“Then, if you’ll excuse me, may I ask where you work?”
“Tomano… I’m doing the same thing as Toki. “Am I also the chief secretary to someone?”
Toki Tomano felt a little frustrated when he saw Chieri Mimata answering with a sweet smile. So he wanted to ask again why he didn’t say who he was under, but he looked at Mimatachieri’s expression and realized that Mimatachieri would never answer.
“Then I would like you to answer this question. May I ask why you are asking about Seryu Military Company?”
“Why is Black Tech interested in Seryu Military Company? “It’s a company that doesn’t matter, right?”
In fact, Chieri Mimata was irritated by not answering the question but asking back, but Tomano Toki forced a smile.
“It might be related. Black Tech is also very interested in Seryu Military Company. We don’t want any unnecessary competition. Let me tell you exactly now. Black Tech plans to acquire Seryu Military Company. And Black Turk will not sit idly by and watch what happens to Seryu Military Company. Does the person you serve know this?”
“What if I don’t sit back and watch? What can black tech do? “I don’t want to sit there any longer because you threatened me the first time I met you.”
When Mimatachieri got up from her seat, the guests around her rose up and surrounded her. This cafe called Kokake was secretly operated by Black Tech.
“There is no need to stand up hastily, is there? If you just sit down and tell us who you are and why you are interested in Seryu Military Company, you will be able to escape without any trouble.”
Tomano Toki said with a slightly fishy smile. Mimata Chieri turned again and looked at Tomano Toki. Contrary to Toki Tomano’s expectation that she would be embarrassed, Chieri Mimata’s expression remained the same as before.
“If you do so, I will say this. “If you get those big guys out of the way right now, you’ll be able to stay here without any problems.”
Chieri Mimata unbuttoned her suit jacket and unfolded it. There were two mechanical bombs, one each inside the inside pockets of the suit.
“…Do you always carry bombs attached to your clothes?”
“Well? “What are you going to do?”
No one wants to die, so there was a chance that the bomb was just a bluff. But when Tomano Toki saw Mimatachieri’s expression, she realized that Mimatachieri was definitely a woman who would set off a bomb.
“I will send it to you today. Let’s go.”
“Thank you for your kindness. Well then…”
At Tomano Toki’s gesture, all the people surrounding Mimatachieri sat down in their seats, and Mimatachieri left her cafe cokake with a lively gait without any interruption.
Tomano Toki watched that scene until the end. As soon as Chieri Mimata left her cafe, she picked up her phone and made a call to someone.
“Boss, I think we need to start the acquisition process right away.”
——-
Mimata Chieri’s expression as she was convinced that Tomato Toki was going to explode.
