Osiris: a magical submarine Part I

Episode 17 Yuki's Determination

Yuki visits the safe-house as usual next Sunday.

After having lunch with Shiori, He is guided by Kanae and visits the Central Magic Institute next to the safe-house.

Yuki didn't reveal to Shiori that he will meet director Tanaka.

He cannot forecast what will happen when he meets with director Tanaka.

So he didn't want to let Shiori worry.

The Central Magic Institute is a familiar building for Yuki, but it is the first time to go inside.

A director's room is located at the end of a long corridor on the top floor of the Central Magic Institute.

Kanae whispers to Yuki in front of the director's room "Actually, this is the first time I've come here."

Then she knocks on a tall door.

"Mr. Director, I have brought Yuki Mikami."

"Come in."

The room is large and elegant furnished.

So Yuki looks around in the room unconsciously.

"Yuki, I'm happy to see you."

"Yes..."

"Mr. Director, May I go back to the safe-house?"

"Yes, you may. Thanks, Kanae."

After she leaves, director Tanaka and Yuki are left in the room.

"Please have a seat."

After director Tanaka says so, he sits on a sofa opposite.

"I'm the director of the Central Magic Institute now, but originally a naval officer.

I'm seconded to the Magic Administration while belonging to the Navy.

Do you know the meaning of seconded?"

"Yes, I do.

Mr. Tanaka, you are the greatest person here, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am."

"Can you free Shiori?"

"Well, You may think that she is confined for no reason, but it is not.

And we also know that she feels stressed in the present environment.

Of course, adults around her are kind to her.

However, adults alone have limitations.

So we need your help.

You are definitely supporting Shiori's heart.

You will be able to support her even if you are informed of the secret of Shiori.

And if things proceed as I think, it is possible at least to free her much more than now.

I promise you that.

And once you get her secret, you can't go back anymore.

Yuki, everything depends on your determination, what do you want to do?"

There is no hesitation in Yuki.

"Please tell me Shiori's secret. I want to protect her."
