After taking the elevator out of the holographic conference room, Flow saw us to the main entrance.
"Alright, Miss Secretary, this is far enough. We'll get a taxi to the medical facility ourselves."
"See you another day, Miss Knight."
She did not seem to dislike being called "Miss Secretary."
Originally, as an Infiltration Weapon, she had been given a male appearance by Stratos. Later, Aldebaran had implanted her original memories—male memories—into her, so she had found it difficult to accept a female identity. Before the enhancement modifications, she had not even been able to truly mimic a female form.
But now, not only could she wear women's clothing naturally, she had even completely accepted the identity of a female secretary. Though her acting was excellent, and she could quickly slip into any role...
But was it really acting?
Or had life simply worn away her edges?
We had also mentioned our plan to let Azura take root in the Old District to SpiCa.
To enter the domain shrouding the teleportation tower, we could not enter from the Old District, but had to go through the wormhole where the domain had unfolded... so we had no choice but to seek SpiCa's help.
Fortunately, she agreed readily enough. She even had Flow organize some people to accompany us later and test the purification's effects.
Since we were in the city center, we quickly hailed a cab. I sat in the front passenger seat while the three girls sat in the back. But when Azura got into the car, the taxi noticeably sank, and the driver looked back with an expression as though he had seen a ghost.
Yet the three girls did not look particularly heavy, so he probably took it for an illusion and drove off without asking any questions.
