Ayanokouji: Free Life

Chapter 48: A Familiar Face

This was bad. Momo isn't exactly the most patient person I've met. Far from it. She can be unforgiving to say the least. But I didn't have much time to dwell on her needs. I had 5 undead corpses that needed some configuration on their brains. I also had an informant that would meet Toga and I soon. So maybe a phone call would do?

Toga: Don't worry, Ayano! If that bitch tries anything, I'll cut out her guts and butcher her like a meat!  

Me: No need for anything drastic like that. I'll handle this. Make sure you keep an eye on those 5. I'll call Momo and tell her to back off for now. There are a lot of things to do today, after all. 

Toga: If it means you're not with her, then it's great news!

Toga went inside, as I sighed once again. 

I pulled up her contact and gave her a call, but she wasn't answering. A second and third time raised this question: Could she be ignoring me since I did the same? If that's the case, then fine by me. Being ignored is better than being yelled at. She'll come back to her senses eventually. 

Toga poked her head outside the door as she looked at me with a curious look. 

Toga: So what'd that bitch say?

Me: Nothing. She didn't answer. 

Toga: See! You don't need that kind of trash in your life Ayano!!! You just need me!!!!

Me: Don't get too overdramatic. Ignoring someone is not the end of the world. Anyway, let's get to business now.

I grabbed each of the 5 corpses off the floor, one-by-one, and put them back in their pods, as I secured them and went over to our work bench. 

I picked up the 5 green syringes, that were flinged to the side as I measured them respectively. I made this agent using my quirk and a little help from the cells of a villain I fought in my last vacation. 

I pushed a few buttons as another part of each of the chambers opened, showing places to put these green vials. 

Me: This is where they go, for future reference, Toga. 

Toga: Yeah, yeah, I get it. I already feel bad for being a pain in the ass to my Ayano, ok!

Me: I'm just trying to make it clear. 

I also liked to see Toga's little reactions to everything I said. 

I put them inside as it closed, dispensing the liquid of the vial into the chamber, as it went right into each of the corpses' heads. Perfect. With this, not only do I attend to have full control of them, but It will also give them the memories they lost, especially their last moments. 

By showing them hopelessness, it will bring forth obedience out of fear which will lead to more passionate soldiers. My mind control will only be used as a last resort. 

The process will take a few hours at least, since it will replenish their brains with memories and working cells that will absorb these memories. In essence, I have made a sort of clone of the prior 5 rather than bringing them back alive. But the end result is the same.

The beginning of my own little villain group. However, in order to do that, I need to conceal my identity. Which also means, I must conceal my two quirks as well.

As I was pondering on what kind of quirk I should use, Toga put down her manga that she picked up when we were waiting on these 5.
