Odyssey - How To Tame A Demon

Chapter 42 Mountain Lair

As they settled into their first-class seats on the plane bound for Russia, Chuuya couldn't help but mutter under his breath about Fyo's choice to use his surname. Across their seats, Fyo noticed Chuuya's agitation and couldn't help but laugh at the redhead.

"Fyo Nakahara, Fyo Nakahara are you f*cking kidding me? What made you think you can use my name anytime huh punk" Chuuya snapped however the reddish color in his cheeks did not hide his unease.

Fyo then raised his hand, drawing attention to the ring adorning it.

"It's because of this," Fyo explained calmly, gesturing to the ring. "We're married. It's only natural for us to share a surname." Fyo replied his voice with a hint of tease.

Chuuya almost forgot about the ring he was wearing as it was hiding under his gloves. He remembered one time he attempted to remove the ring on his finger but before the ring could slip, the blue light circumference of the ring lit up prompting him to stop. And soon he received a photo from Fyo's number. It was a photo of his drunk as h*ll latching on Fyo's neck. It was the wedding reception photo. Seeing this he quickly slip back the ring to his finger.

"Tsk" said the redhead and then just looked at the window to divert his thought away from his companion.

As the plane descended toward their destination, Chuuya and Fyo braced themselves for the next leg of their mission. Their target awaited them at the remote border between Mongolia and Russia, nestled amidst snow-capped mountains and treacherous terrain.

With the snow-covered landscape stretching out before them. According to their next plan, the key is in the hand of a mysterious doctor with a secluded laboratory atop a mountain. Based on the data they have gathered, the lab is creating drugs and medicine that are used by the soldiers of their country. In short, the possibility that they are facing the Russian government is high.

...

Using Chuuya's gravitational ability, the two fly in the air hiding in the white snow and its mist. Soon they arrive in the laboratory compound.

As Chuuya and Fyo stealthily infiltrated the laboratory, they found themselves surrounded by the hum of machinery and the scent of chemicals. Despite their best efforts to remain undetected, they soon encountered a significant obstacle: the lab's formidable security measures.

Fyo attempted to access the computer servers and security systems remotely, but his efforts were thwarted by the fortress-like defenses that surrounded them. It can be accessed but it will take time, and some patrolling security could spot them, and so he looked at the redhead.

"We'll need to find another way in," Fyo muttered, his voice barely audible above the din of activity. "Blending in with the personnel might be our best option."

...

Fyo manages to locate the locker room and finds some clothing.

"Here" Fyo handed some to Chuuya.

Upon inspecting the garments, he felt a surge of disgust wash over him. The uniform was unmistakably that of a female scrub, complete with a tight-fitting doctor's blouse, a skirt, and black leggings. Chuuya shot Fyo a glare, his irritation was evident.

Fyo's response was calm but resolute. "The closest individuals to the doctor are the female doctors and nurses. We need to blend in to gain access," he explained.

"Tsk, why does he need to have a horde of doctors to check up on his body, does he think his that special?" Chuuya sarcastically said while looking over Fyo's shoulder to view the laptop.

Fyo amused replied "Aren't most mad scientists like that, they have high opinions of themselves"

"Yeah, most geniuses do" Chuuya sarcastically replied looking at the tall guy while his arms crossed in his chest.
