Nanbaka fanfic: Miracle

"What's this about Mitsuru?" The warden asked after Mitsuru brought Kiji with no.93 over

"I found something interesting about no.92 here" Mitsuru said as he patted her head, Mira stood next to Kiji while Mitsuru walked around

"What about her?" Samon asked while he stands beside the warden who is sitting down

"See this?" Mitsuru showed a picture of a duck that's like made of codes

"What about it? It's a duck" Samon said while the Warden narrowed her eyes at the picture

"No.93, do you know this?" Mitsuru showed the picture

"It's a duck... made out of codes?" Mira answered

"Wrong~ well you're right that it's a duck" Mitsuru said then pulled out his laptop and showed a similar duck "There's one hacker that uses this to place on their victim's screen like a trademark that they've been hacked and to make the world know who they are. And that hacker is... you"

Mira flinched

The other guards also flinched "Mitsuru. How did you know she didn't know it?" The warden asked

"Well earlier, I was dropping some papers of to Kiji when I saw no.93 in his office so I decided to play with her since she can hack. I decided we play who can hack the others gadget faster!? I gave her my phone, and I pulled out my laptop. That's when I realized, she doesn't even know how to hack or even know she was being hacked" Mitsuru said  "I sat next to her to see what she was doing. She had no clue"

"What's the meaning of this? Wasn't it you who trace it back to her?" Kiji asked

"Are you saying it's not her? She pleaded guilty though" Samon said

"Nope~ she's definetely the one I traced it back to. No doubt about it" Mitsuru said

"Then what are you saying?" The warden asked

"My dear no.93~" Mitsuru walked to her but Mira flinched and backed up to Kiji "Are you an accomplice?"

"Accomplice?" Kiji asked "No.93, you should answer this, it can probably lower your sentence a bit compare to the infamous world hacker known for breaking into millions of banks"

".......It's someone else... the one hacking I mean" Mira said as she was shaking

"Then why was it traced back to you?" The warden asked

"It was my computer..." Mira answered

"Were you framed?" Kiji asked

"..No... I knew the guy" Mira said "...My brother actually"

"So you were letting him use your computer? He did all the hacking then?" Samon asked

"Hm~" Mitsuru smirked "Your brother either went missing, or died~ Am I right?"

"......Right" Mira answered

"When was this?" The warden asked

"3 years ago" Mitsuru answered "It's been 3 years since that duck appeared with a message, usually it would have a bubble saying something to taunt certain people, including Nanba. It's not the first time.... the duck... tried to hack Nanba, he tried a few times but failed, and before I couldn't track him down because he covered up his tracks too fast.. he would never forget to put messages though. I had contacts and they told me that they were being suspicious now that the duck has no messages now, but still placed his seal on the screen"

"Is that right?" Kiji asked Mira as she nodded

"Then she's been hacking? I though she didn't" Samon asked

"No.93~ care to explain~" Mitsuru said

Mira looked down "After my brother died... I used my computer again.. I realised he had upgrade the hacking system there so much that I just need to type the place or card and all the money would come to me... before his death he said he programmed it that it would always leave a funny seal... I didn't know what that was till now"

"And there you have it~ she still technically hacked" Mitsuru said

"Why did you let your brother use your laptop?" The warden asked

"Because he said that I was useless and couldn't do anything so just incase someone hacks into him, they'd think it's a mistake because it's me" Mira answered

"After years how did Mitsuru only now hacked into you?" Samon asked

"Because my brother originally makes it more secure every month, and it was so advance that even after his death it took a few more years for the technology before to catch on and hack him" Mira said

"...Why did you confess of the crime being him then? You could've had a lighter sentence since you only did three years" Kiji said since her brother... the duck... is accused of ten years of hacking

"......I wanted to be recognized at something... I was already useless as it is, I wasn't even able to finish highschool properly...I thought since I'm going to jail anyway might as well make it longer and take his recognition since no one would want me back there anymore... they don't even remember me... the only thing that can make people at least remember me is my brother's occupation, so I took the blame" Mira's tears spilled as she tried to keep calm "I'm at least named a hacker here"

Warden looked at Mira and sighed "Your sentence will be altered"

"Huh?" Mira asked "Wait.... I lied on trial shouldn't I get more time too?"

Warden shook her head "Those 7 years of hacking will be deducted since it isn't you. The 3 years will only be taken account for. Then we increase it a bit for being an accesory to the crime. Then have your final number of sentence.... ultimately your sentence will decrease"

"No no no no" Mira said as she held her head again "If you do that then the court will probably make it public that I was just taking the blame for recognition then everyone... I mean everyone will know how just useless I am. I can't take it, I can just imagine them laughing at me right now"

"No.93 calm down" Kiji said as Mira was breathing heavily and was looking pale, Kiji's worried it might be a panic attack now

"This is all because of you" Mira pointed at Mitsuru as she walked closer "I was just sitting in the office and you came wanting to play a game then you found out, then they found out... soon the whole world will know... but it's not because of you... the reason I was there was because I was upset with my cellmates... and the reason I was in the cell is because I took the blame in the first place... it's my fault.. my fault... I did to myself...I'm just so useless I feel so sorry for myself too..."

Mira looked a the ground and saw a pen that had fallen down. Mira quickly dove in to get the pen and stabbed her chest four times

"Oy!" "No.93!" "Get medic!"
