Hypnosis Microphone: Red Division Unfolded Story

VII: Freedom

FLASHBACK

Since her first meet with Kurusu Tooru, she often made a secret meet up with the man in woman dress. Although, sometimes the person appears in a man appearance as well.

"I've tried to dig up a bit about the institution's intention towards the subjects of the experiment when it completes later..." Reiko nodded "What it is?"

"Seems like they might sell you guys to any organization... and separately" Reiko speechless to hear that. They might be separate?!

"Among their subjects, only four of you give an excellent result, right?" Reiko hates to admit, but she nodded. "Yes. Seems like our genetic somehow able to stand to hypmic waves" said Reiko.

"No wonder they didn't let us adopt you guys..." Reiko dumbfounded. "You what?"

"I thought I wanna settle this with diplomatic and follow the rule's way, but looks like it didn't work"

"I did send someone to adopt four of you guys, but the institution refuses to let go you guys" explained Tooru. Reiko nodded, understand. "Means, they did try to accomplished their experiments first"

Reiko start to panics, "Then, what should I do? If this continues, we might end up..." Tooru smirks.

"Calm down, Reiko-chan" she looks at the man in front of her, this time this crossdresser wears a man outfit, although still using a feminine language, wears simple makeup and keep his beautiful long strawberry blonde hair.

"There's one way, but with conditions"

Not long after that meeting, Reiko was caught by the institution staffs for planning out her escape with the social activist. Since that day, Yamada siblings are forbidden from going out the institution area and lock up in a cell room most of the time.

They didn't even allow to go to school or going out play in the playground. Now, their freedom totally snatched away. They were lock in a cage, like a bird.

A week since they being lock up...

Reiko sits at the corner of the cell room, hug tightly her knee close to her chest.

"Nee-chan" a weak voices call her out. She lifts her head, to see her brothers, look at her with sympathy.

"Yes, what it is? Ichiro, Jiro, Saburo?" ask her, with a smile on her face.

"Are you crying?" ask a 10 years old Ichiro, hold her cheek softly. She smiles, holds Ichiro small hand, "I'm not"

"Then, is your hand hurts?" ask Jiro, softly his 8 years old hand touch her exposed right arm with injection and various scars. She smiles, "No, I'm not..." she shakes her head.

"Then, is your heart.....in pain?" ask a 6 years old Saburo, touch her beating chest. Looking at her concern youngest brother eyes then changes to look at her other brothers. Without she realized, her tears burst.

"Maybe....a little..." She hugs Saburo, tightly in her arms. Seeing their sister in tears for the first time, three of them burst their tears while hugging each other.

They never saw their sister crying, even a night when they lost their parents. She never shed any tears. At least, not in front of them.

She always is a strong older sister for them. Yamada brothers know it.

On that night, they fell asleep in each other arms, after have a good cry moment together.

And probably be their last night as a sibling together.

Next day...

The scientists and institution staffs gather up, check the final result. Suddenly, one of the staff cheers, "WE DID IT!!!"

"They able to stand the highest hypmic wave!!"

"Four of them?!"

"Yeah!!! This going to be a quartet profits than what we expected!!!"

While the institution staffs and scientists cheer on their final result and successful on the experiments, on other hands, from their room, Reiko overheard everything.

"So, finally, huh?" Reiko smirks, chuckles a bit. She gets up to the closet, rummage a bit and pull out something from the deepest area in the closet. It's a hypnosis microphone. More accurate, the prototype one.

"Nee-chan, what's that?" ask Ichiro, curious. Reiko pat Ichiro's head, "This is our weapon, we going to leave this place...together," said Reiko.

"But, this is only our secret, ok?" Reiko put her index on her lips as a signal. Her brothers nodded, understand her sign.

She looks at the microphone in her hand.

"Conditions? What are the conditions?"

"I'll lend you a weapon for you to escape from that place, but, you need to know how to express your hatred in a vocal way..." Reiko frowns.

"I-I don't think I can do that..."

"You write a poem, right?" She nodded. "Then use the words, what you've written down, express through your mouth and tongue...make it like a rap" she tilted her head, not confident with her skills.

"What is the weapon, anyway?"

Tooru smirk, he took out something from his bag and present to her, "A hypnosis microphone" Reiko snapped to heard the words. She hates that thing so much, and now she needs to use them?!

"I know this tough for you, but it's the only way. After all, you are among the one who understands the most how it's function, right?" Reiko silent.

"Fine, I'll do it" she took the hypnosis microphone from Tooru's hand. "Great"

"And the second condition"

"You, or maybe your brothers as well, need to work for me" Reiko look at Tooru. "Work?"

"Yeah, Cross Corporation want to create a headphone, speakers and products that will neutralize the hypmic waves. To make it works, we need your ability for this" explained Tooru. "Win-win situation, right?"

Reiko nodded, "I got it, but please just take me, and leave my brothers alone, may you?"

"Oh, you don't want to live together with your brothers?" Reiko shake her head, "It's not like that"

"They've enough bullshit in this place, at least, for the rest of their life after this, please let them lives like a normal child, normal human...without related to hypmic" explained Reiko. "Can you please?" beg Reiko. Tooru nodded.

"Got it, I'll settle down about that. I'll give everything they need to continue lives, a proper house and education...and someone will watch after them. Is that fine for you?" Reiko agreed.

"And last one conditions"

"To make you guys didn't suffer in future..."

"You want or not, you need to complete the experiments, make yourself as immune as you can towards hypnosis microphone"

That's means, you only able to use this weapon and escape once you become successful experiments subjects. Got it?

Reiko clenches the hypnosis microphone in her palm, lift her head with confidence, and walk forward.

"We'll get out from this hell today!"
