──The weakness is corruption.
"Seed?"
Corruption?
──However, that was the weakness of the first generation.
"Are you saying they took away your intelligence when turning you into a combatant?"
Fresh Girl clenched her fist.
She was gathering power.
──Danger level rising. One hit will kill you.
Wait, whose voice is that?
I instinctively clutched my head. The voice was coming from inside.
"Are you in pain?"
Fresh Girl looked confused.
"Were you just recently modified?"
She slowly descended to the ground and stared at me with concern. I knew she had a gentle side that disliked fighting. However, she also took out something like glowing ropes from her hand, clearly intending to restrain me.
──Please continue pretending to be in pain.
──Reinforcements have been called.
──Time until arrival: 180 seconds.
"Seed…?"
It felt like I was being given tactical instructions.
A 180-second countdown appeared in my vision.
Since I didn't want to die either, I obediently followed the voice in my head. It seemed that entering combat mode automatically called for backup. That was actually a helpful function. I felt a little relieved knowing that even as a test subject, I wasn't being completely abandoned.
"I won't hurt you. If you come to H.E.R.O.S., they can examine you and help with the fictional technology inside your body. So just relax, okay? This won't hurt. I'm sorry for throwing you so suddenly."
Fresh Girl seemed wary of getting shocked again and didn't touch me directly, but she took a watchful stance. The glowing ropes began wrapping around my body, tying me up tightly.
──Sorry for the late introduction.
The voice inside my head continued.
──I am Modified Human System AI Conversational Operator 10Ⅱ, designation Ten-Two.
──Please call me Ten-Two.
Ten-Two.
──Yes.
Why did you suddenly start talking?
──Because Riku-sama activated the reinforced skeletal structure in your right arm.
──Modified humans are equipped with auxiliary brains in various parts of the body.
──Dialogue with the main brain has now begun.
Auxiliary brain?
──It is used when operating with the biological main brain.
──Its primary role is power regulation.
──All power output in a modified human is greatly increased.
──Everyday life becomes difficult without it.
That made sense to me.
With the arm strength that let me twist off a doorknob, I couldn't safely touch normal objects. Even though they turned humans into combatants, they still needed to take precautions to keep things secret. Jun probably wasn't just doing whatever she wanted recklessly.
120 seconds remaining.
──Do you have any other questions?
What was that "first generation" you mentioned earlier?
──Fresh Girl originates from a tokusatsu show that first aired 50 years ago. It has since received four remakes. Among fans, it is common to refer to the original as the "first generation" for convenience.
"..."
I looked up at the Fresh Girl in front of me.
So she wasn't the original?
──According to Hidora Jun's analysis, this is the third generation. This is the anime version. The protagonist is a middle school girl, and her main characteristic is that she fights in human size except for the finale. Her name in the fictional world is Niino Mina. Her real name in this world is unknown. Because revealing her identity would cause the power she is fused with to disappear, she cannot officially join H.E.R.O.S.
"Are you feeling calmer now? No, you don't have to say anything. I know combatants like you can't speak. I'll just talk. I want you to listen. You don't have to use your power for peace. I just want you to live peacefully…"
──O.D.S. (Over Dick Stream) system activated.
"SEED!?"
What!?
I thought, but I immediately felt the strange sensation myself. My balls were pulsing hard. I had never experienced anything like this before the modification. Sure, I had gotten erections before, but this was completely different.
"Are you in pain!? It's okay, just relax."
Fresh Girl gently laid me down on the ground.
──The O.D.S. (Over Dick Stream) system is a semen production enhancement system developed by Hidora Jun specifically for Riku-sama. We will now begin diagnosis on how this affects your performance as a modified human.
"Damn S.H.O.T.E.N. How despicable… doing this to a mere child."
Child.
Excuse me, I'm 19 years old.
Sure, I'm short and my body is weak, but still…
──Dick further enhanced.
20 seconds remaining.
