The Origin of Botan

Chapter 4: Porvoo

Parkerring: Porvoo is a city in Finland and the second oldest city in Finland after Turku. But for some reason, Porvoo looks older than Turku to me.

At a research facility in Russia, Katyusha was as happy and beautiful as ever, she walked into the laboratory lovingly where her boss, Dr. Lyubimova, inside.

"Hello Doctor!"

"Hi...hehe..."

Dr. Lyubimova smiled sinisterly. Katyusha noticed that it wasn't just Dr. Lyubimova and her who were in the lab, but there were a few other people, maybe more than 40 people, they were white lion demi-human...and they were just children...

"Ummm, Doc? Who are these lovely children?"

"Hehehe...they are...our army!"

"They WHAT?!?!"

Katyusha shouted in surprise. Katyusha immediately remembered the contents of the Winter's Pride Project and understood what Dr. Lyubimova was planning to do with the children.

"Doc! You can't experiment on children! That's immoral! I thought we were supposed to experiment on adults!"

"So you think it's ethical to experiment on adults? Didn't we experiment on forty-four death row inmates and you didn't complain even a single word?"

Dr. Lyubimova countered Katyusha. Hearing that, Katyusha was dumbfounded and did not dare to respond, her expression filled with regret and guilt.

Suddenly, the laboratory door opened, and a man in military uniform walked in with four children who were white lion demi-humans. Seeing him, Dr. Lyubimova suddenly asked.

"Major Kartashov?"

"Good morning, Dr. Lyubimova! Oh, good morning to you too, Ms. Kozyreva."

"Hi..."

Katyusha greeted Major Kartashov back with a sad tone.

"Ummm, why does she look so sad?"

"Ah! It's nothing! It's just that after 2 weeks with her family, Katyusha has to leave them to do the Winter's Pride Project with me! That's why she's sad!"

"Oh."

"By the way, Major Kartashov, why are you here?"

"Ah, I'm here to bring these guinea pigs here instead of Colonel Goremykin."

Hearing Major Kartashov's reply, Dr. Lyubimova looked surprised.

"What happened to Colonel Goremykin?"

"Nothing, it's just...in the process of capturing the white lion demi-human children, one white lion demi-human managed to escape and Colonel Goremykin was so determined to capture her until together."

"Really? Haizz, after all these years, he still hasn't changed his tenacity..."

Dr. Lyubimova shook her head in dismay but also chuckled.

"As far as I'm told, the white lion demi-human that Colonel Goremykin is pursuing has escaped to Finland."

"Oh, that's why these days it's all on TV that the foreign ministers of Finland and Russia are negotiating in Helsinki about allowing the Russian military to operate on Finnish soil and coordinate with the Finnish police and army to arrest a serial killer. They had to make up a story about arresting a serial killer just to be allowed to go to Finland to arrest a white lion demi-human girl there, ahaha!"

Dr. Lyubimova laughed.

"Yeah, I just feel sorry for Andrei Chernetsky because even though he was arrested, he was still brought out as a fake excuse to capture that white lion demi-human."
