Chapter 7: Somehow, I Became a Government Asset Even Though I Just Want to Take a Nap1. The Crushing Weight of My New RealityLet’s take a moment to recap my tragic downfall:

  I, Yuuji Kisaragi, a completely normal high school student, somehow got noticed by a secret government agency.They cimed I was a tactical genius, even though I just py video games and accidentally win things.I signed a contract without reading it, which (apparently) gave them full control over my life.Now I’m in a top-secret intelligence facility, being trained as a military strategist.…

  I closed my eyes.

  Inhale.

  Exhale.

  Now scream internally.

  2. The Horrors of an Official Government IDMikasa Hoshigawa, the elite intelligence officer who ruined my life, handed me a bck leather folder with a professional smile.

  “Congratutions, Kisaragi,” she said. “Here’s your official Division 6 Identification Card.”

  I took it with shaking hands.

  Inside was a sleek, metallic card with my face on it.

  But instead of saying “Useless Student”, it said:

  NAME: Yuuji KisaragiPOSITION: Strategic AnalystSECURITY LEVEL: CLASSIFIED

  I stared at it.

  Then at Mikasa.

  Then back at the card.

  “…This is a joke, right?”

  Mikasa’s smile did not change.

  “We take our recruitment process very seriously.”

  No.

  No, no, no.

  I flipped the card over, hoping it would say something like, “Just Kidding, You’re Free to Go.”

  Instead, it listed my authorities:

  Access to National Security ArchivesAbility to Issue Tactical DirectivesPermission to Deploy Emergency Contingency Pns…I don’t even know what these mean!

  “By the way,” Mikasa added. “This ID grants you access to highly cssified areas. Please be careful.”

  I looked at her, horrified.

  “Why would you trust me with this?!”

  Mikasa’s eyes glowed with amusement.

  “Because, Kisaragi… You’re a genius.”

  No.

  No, I’m not.

  3. The Tragic First Mission I Never Asked ForI had one goal:

  Find a way out of this nightmare.

  But before I could even attempt an escape pn—

  A siren bred through the facility.

  "ALERT. UNIDENTIFIED INTRUSION DETECTED. ALL UNITS ON HIGH ALERT."

  What.

  Mikasa immediately stood up and pressed her earpiece.

  “This is Hoshigawa. Situation report.”

  A robotic voice responded:

  "Unauthorized access detected in Sector 7. Breach confirmed."

  Mikasa’s expression hardened.

  “Send a security team. Lock down all exits.”

  I, meanwhile, was still stuck on one detail.

  “…Sector 7?”

  Mikasa gnced at me.

  “Yes. The area where we store highly confidential artifacts.”

  “…Artifacts?”

  She nodded. “Dangerous objects with unpredictable properties.”

  Oh.

  Oh no.

  That sounds exactly like the kind of pce that should never be breached.

  I swallowed.

  “So, uh… what’s my role in this?”

  Mikasa’s gaze sharpened.

  “You’re coming with me.”

  WHAT?!

  4. My First Experience With an "Unidentified Intruder"Before I could even protest, I was dragged down a high-tech corridor.

  Walls lined with security drones, doors reinforced with biometric locks—

  This pce screamed “if you step in the wrong pce, sers will melt your face off.”

  Mikasa led me to a rge surveilnce room, where multiple screens dispyed the intruder.

  And what I saw nearly made me faint.

  Because the intruder…

  Was a girl.

  A high school girl, wearing a bck hoodie and carrying a giant mechanical backpack.

  She was dodging ser turrets like she had done this a thousand times before.

  Her movements were fwless, like a professional spy—no, like an assassin.

  A security officer turned to Mikasa.

  “Ma’am, should we eliminate the target?”

  I panicked.

  “WAIT! Isn’t that too extreme?!”

  Mikasa didn’t blink.

  “This is a cssified facility, Kisaragi. Any unauthorized intruder is an immediate threat.”

  I gulped.

  Okay, sure, that makes sense—

  But that’s still a human girl!

  I looked back at the screen.

  The girl had hacked a security terminal and was shutting down the facility’s defenses one by one.

  …

  Wait a second.

  How the hell was she doing that?!

  5. The Unexpected Genius Hacker GirlAs the security officers scrambled, I watched the girl’s movements carefully.

  She wasn’t just breaking in randomly.

  She was moving with purpose.

  Every action was deliberate, every step pnned.

  It was almost like…

  Like she knew the facility better than we did.

  I turned to Mikasa.

  “…Is she using our own systems against us?”

  Mikasa’s eyes flickered.

  “…It appears so.”

  That confirmed it.

  This wasn’t just some random hacker.

  She was one of us.

  6. I Am Forced to Negotiate With an Enemy SpyMikasa exhaled sharply.

  “We need to neutralize her immediately.”

  I panicked.

  “Wait, wait, WAIT! She’s obviously after something! What if we just… talk?”

  The entire room fell silent.

  One of the security officers coughed.

  Mikasa stared at me.

  “…Talk?”

  I nodded furiously.

  “Yes! You know, words? The things normal people use before shooting missiles?!”

  Mikasa folded her arms.

  “Fine. You want to negotiate? Go ahead.”

  She handed me a headset and activated the facility’s communication system.

  I hesitated.

  Then took a deep breath.

  Here goes nothing.

  I spoke into the microphone.

  “Uh… Hello?”

  The girl froze.

  She looked directly at a security camera.

  For a moment, she didn’t respond.

  Then—

  A voice crackled through the speakers.

  “…Who the hell are you?”

  7. Somehow, I Ended Up in a Verbal Battle With a Super HackerHer voice was sharp, quick, and filled with annoyance.

  “I don’t remember any government dogs using casual greetings,” she said.

  I coughed. “I’m not a government dog! I was, uh… kidnapped.”

  She paused.

  Then ughed.

  “Wow. They’re really getting desperate, huh?”

  I gritted my teeth.

  “Listen, let’s not fight. What are you even after?”

  She didn’t answer immediately.

  Then, after a long pause, she said:

  “…I need to retrieve something.”

  Mikasa raised an eyebrow.

  I hesitated. “Retrieve… what?”

  The girl’s voice lowered.

  “A cssified object.”

  Mikasa and the security officers tensed.

  I sighed. “Yeah, no kidding. Everything here is cssified.”

  The girl sighed dramatically.

  “Alright, fine. You wanna know?”

  She leaned closer to the security camera.

  “I’m here to steal Project Nexus.”

  The room froze.

  Every agent stared at me.

  Mikasa’s eyes narrowed.

  And in that moment, I realized—

  I had just stepped into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
