When Kato Megumi heard this, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, but finally she obediently pulled out 660 hairs with follicles, frowned, and put them into a small silver metal box.
After receiving the hair, the small metal box sank with a slight tremor, and the originally open metal column also returned to its original position at this time.
Soon, a prompt lit up on the restored electronic screen:
【Gene registration successful】.
【.....Permission granted. 】
[Special equipment room unlocked, basic training room unlocked, residential area permissions unlocked...]
After a series of unlockings, a line of words finally appeared on the screen.
【Welcome to join us, D-level user 'Kato Megumi'. 】
"this..."
Kato Megumi looked at these contents and asked Yukinoshita Yukino with a little uneasiness in her heart:
"Um....Is this really a school club that I joined?"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked up from the computer, pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose, and asked:
"For you now, you can think of it this way, right?"
"Don't use such a vague tone." Kato Megumi said in a low voice.
At the same time, Yukinoshita Yukino reached out to the cabinet next to her and aligned the ring on her right middle finger with the groove in the upper right corner of the cabinet.
A light blue flame lit up on the ring.
With a click, the cabinet opened, revealing a pile of small silver metal boxes inside.
Kato Megumi widened her eyes and watched the blue flames rising from Yukinoshita Yukino's hands. She also watched her take out the small metal box. She seemed to be stunned.
At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino opened the small box, handed it over, and placed it on the table close to Kato Megumi.
"This is your ring login credential. Remember to keep it with you. The station's access control and many other facilities require this thing to activate."
Kato Megumi lowered her head and looked at the black ring inlaid with an unknown transparent gem in the silver metal box. She then looked up at the same ring inlaid with a sapphire on Yukinoshita Yukino's hand and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask." Yukinoshita Yukino said as she processed the last of the paperwork on the computer.
Hearing this, Kato Hui was silent for a moment, and then asked in a soft voice:
"Why, it would be me?"
Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head and glanced at Kato Megumi. Seeing the calm but puzzled expression on her face, she paused and said:
"What you want to say is why Minister Luo Shu chose you?"
Kato Hui nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"I am obviously just an ordinary student. At most, I am easily ignored by teachers and classmates. Other than that, there is nothing special about me."
"I am such an ordinary person, why was I chosen by Senior Luo Shu?"
In fact, Kato Megumi wanted to say "being targeted by Luo Shu", but she felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say that, so she changed the wording slightly.
Hearing her words, Yukinoshita Yukino smiled slightly:
"Are you not going to continue to 'identify' this as the activity room for the school club?"
Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi gave an awkward and shy smile.
No matter what, after seeing hypnosis, flames coming out of fingers, and all kinds of completely abnormal technological equipment, if Kato Megumi still thinks this is an on-campus club, then she is a fool.
(badi) The reason why we always emphasize school clubs is more of a reminder, a reminder that 'I am still your classmate, don't mess around.'
Seeing Kato Megumi's subtle, apologetic smile, Yukinoshita Yukino also shook her head and said:
"Because some of the answers involve confidentiality, I won't give you a detailed explanation before you sign the 'contract'."
"Well, let's put it this way."
"Just understand it as 'the minister believes that you have special talents, and if left alone, you will encounter unacceptable dangers, so he decided to recruit you to his side.'"
"Special talent?" Kato Megumi was stunned. Does she have any special talent? No, right?
Her grades were average, her family wasn't rich, and her looks were average. After all, no one had ever confessed to her.
It seems like there’s nothing special about it?
"To put it simply, you can understand it as 'heroine'. This is the term Kasumigaoka-senpai proposed. Of course, this term has also been tacitly acknowledged by the Minister several times."
Yukinoshita Yukino said this, and then looked at Kato Megumi with some confusion:
"Kato-san, you seem to have very little confidence in yourself?"
"Ah, indeed."
Kato Hui subconsciously twisted her hair with her index finger, and then whispered:
"I have always been easily overlooked. It should be okay to say that I am inconspicuous, right?"
"...I see."
Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly realized what was going on. Luo Shu had actually explained some of Kato Megumi's situations to her through the communication function within the gods' group before, so Yukino now associated many things with her.
Do you feel that you are too insignificant because you are easily ignored, which leads to a lack of self-confidence?
This child probably really wants to be recognized.
Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino immediately said:
"Due to the minister's arrangement, you will be working with me on the paperwork for the next period of time."
As she spoke, Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and extended her hand towards Kato Megumi:
"So, please give me your guidance, Hui."
Hearing this, Kato Megumi was stunned for a moment, but finally seemed to realize that it was not good to just stand there, so she quickly reached out and held Yukinoshita Yukino's hand and said:
"Well, please give me more advice, senior!"
Yukinoshita Yukino shook Kato Megumi's hand, and after letting go, she immediately said:
"Okay, since it's not too late, we have to go to the Research Department. I will introduce you to the department on the way and try to complete your entry into the department by tomorrow."
"Oh, by the way, according to the current treatment of D-level personnel in the department, your salary is 30 yen per month, % salary per year, and a salary increase every two years, no less than % each time. Medical expenses are completely free, and there are housing subsidies and food subsidies. When the cafeteria on the second floor is arranged, you can also choose to subsidize the food or eat directly in the cafeteria."
"Because you are a student, so for now, you can choose to work after school and on weekends."
"For the rest of the benefits, you can look at the documents in the office area on the second floor later. Do you have any questions?"
"No...no more."
Kato Megumi responded blankly, feeling dizzy all over.
Right now, she actually only has one thought in her mind.
Such good job conditions, even if she graduated from high school or even went to a prestigious university, she wouldn't be able to get such conditions, right?
So, this is really not a scam? .
Chapter 23 Kato Megumi's 'Adaptation'
Evening, 6:05.
Kato family.
"I'm back...."
Along with the sound, Kato Megumi, wearing a shoulder bag and Toyonosaki school uniform, pushed open the door, walked into the entrance, then sat directly on the small stool next to the entrance and began to take off her shoes.
Hearing the voice, a middle-aged woman who looked somewhat similar to Kato Megumi but much more mature came out in home clothes. Looking at Kato Megumi who was sitting on a chair at the entrance changing her shoes, she couldn't help but ask:
"Mei, you came back much later today than before? Did you go out with your friends again?"
On weekdays, Kato Megumi always returns home around four o'clock, and there are rarely any accidents.
This time it took two hours, and Mrs. Kato couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Ah, I came back late because I joined the school's astronomy club."
Kato Megumi, who changed into slippers, said calmly, while explaining:
"Sorry, I've already had dinner outside. I'm going back to my room now."
Having said that, Kato Megumi was about to walk towards her room.
Because Kato Megumi spoke so calmly, as if it was a matter of course, Mrs. Kato did not doubt anything, but said happily:
"Have you joined a school club? That's great. Will you come home late every day from now on?"
"....Well, that's about right." Kato Megumi, who walked up the stairs, paused and said with her back to Mrs. Kato.
"I understand, but next time, remember to inform me in advance so that I can cook less dinner. After all, it's not good to have leftovers."
Hearing her mother say this, Kato Hui nodded and said, "Then I'll go do my homework first."
"go Go."
Mrs. Kato waved her hand and smiled as she watched her daughter go upstairs. She sighed in relief when she was out of sight.
"Is this kid finally no longer in the Homecoming Department?"
After school every day, Kato Megumi goes home and either helps with housework or plays with her cell phone or reads fashion magazines in her room. This really makes Mrs. Kato worried that her daughter might be too withdrawn and develop psychological problems.
Now, Mrs. Kato felt relieved when she heard that her daughter, who had never participated in any school club since childhood, suddenly joined one.
"By the way, that kid never seemed to have any interest in astronomy. Did he join the club because of his friends? I'll ask him what kind of friends he is after some time."
Although Mrs. Kato was somewhat worried about this, fearing that her daughter would not be able to socialize and might have problems, she was mostly happy that her daughter had finally grown up.
But compared to the happy Mrs. Kato, Kato Megumi, who had already returned to her room, was leaning against the door of her bedroom, patting her chest, with a look of fear on her face:
"Scared me!"
The girl spoke unconvincing words in a soft voice.
No matter when, Kato Megumi's expression is always calm, as if nothing can stir her emotions.
According to the evaluation of Kasumigaoka Utaha, a half-baked psychologist, she has too little contact with people of her own age and is therefore not sure how to express her emotions.
Kato Megumi herself is aware of this, so she can take advantage of it.
"I used my mother's inertia to bring this bag in safely..."
Kato Megumi took off the khaki shoulder bag from her shoulder and suddenly didn't know what to say.
The shoulder bag in her hand was not her property, but something she had obtained from the Secret Management Department's headquarters. In essence, it was one of the many shoulder bags that Mira Tsubakihara had casually placed at the headquarters, and it seemed to be a famous brand.
For Mira Tsubakihara, this is a container that she can no longer use and cannot remember, but for the members of the department, this is a tool that they can use whenever they need it.
So, when Kato Megumi said that she needed a backpack to carry the reading documents and tools issued to her by the department, Yukinoshita Yukino casually took out a shoulder bag and handed it to her.
However, compared to Yukinoshita Yukino, who is also a lady, Kato Megumi, who has read fashion magazines and knows the prices of handbags, is more nervous.
After all, if a high school girl suddenly comes home carrying a brand-name shoulder bag that she cannot afford with her living expenses, it is easy for people to have bad associations.
"However, compared to the things in the bag, the impact of the bag itself doesn't seem to be that great."
Kato Megumi muttered something, silently took the bag and walked to her desk, put the bag down, opened it, and took out the things inside.

It was a 'prop' that was completely black and could be held in one hand, and was enough to calm any thug.
The Type 54 pistol produced in China has a capacity of 8 rounds and a range of 50 meters.
Because it is concealed, small, and has a large circulation in the black market, it is widely praised by certain groups of people.
Of course, the Type 54 pistol in Kato Megumi's hand is not the original version, but a modified version tuned by the SDS Research Department. It is a special version that can use the Death Flame bullet.
But now, this transformed function has no meaning to Kato Megumi.
What she is more worried about now is how to carry the gun with her.
