Optical Camouflage
Author’s Note:
This story was inspired by Yellow Cake-san and L+F-san's comment, I am experimenting in trying to write an ecchi story.
—-POV Arakawa Kouki—-
I have something that I've been thinking about these days. In this world in which I got reincarnated in, military technology has developed in leaps and bounds. There is even a power suit and a space military, isn't that not possible to make?
Might as well since today Alice and Aikawa will not come to the research building because lectures are going to be held outside the school.
I addressed Shingo who was feeding tomatoes to Kon while teaching tricks to him with a serious expression on my face.
"Shingo, I have something I want to consult with."
I talked to him with a different state than usual, Shingo in return corrects his posture and urges me to continue.
"Shingo, I am thinking of making an『Optical Camouflage』"
When I said that, Shingo asked for the reason. He says…..it would be a concern if I try to create such a thing, he also told me that it is too dangerous and that I would need to report the reason to the Director General. I can probably make something up to cover the real reason at this point…. but is it something that I really won't regret later on?
Even if I trick and hide the real reason on why I wanna make an Optical Camouflage, I may regret it one day when my bestfriend finds out.
"I, I want to look at Alice in the shower."
The moment he heard my words, Shingo, who was surprised at what I said, had a strained expression on his face and it looked like he wanted to say something but tried to hold it back with his hand. I continued my talk because of this, I have to ask Shingo to listen to it anyway.
"For now….I know that there is a shower room in my research building. This is also the research building that Aikawa-san is using."
When I looked at Shingo while telling him the story, it appeared as if he was willing to listen. I continue talking while drinking black tea to keep me calm.
"If Aikawa-san uses a shower, can Shingo wait quietly? You would start thinking "I want to peep". But I am scared to peek since I might get caught, I can make use of the optical camouflage there.
I would not mind if you turn me down for ethical reasons after listening to my story up to this point, I would not blame Shingo. I just want to keep the current story a secret if possible, I alone will work on this project."
After talking all this time, the cup of the tea that Shingo was drinking was returned to the desk. His face looked like a man amongst men….no he has an appearance of a "comrade".
"Fuhi! I have decided to cooperate and for us to do it."
I received Shingo's strong words, we opened the curtains of the "Optical Camouflage development plan".
—-POV Arakawa Miki—-
"It's an emergency report"
I have compiled research reports in my room, Suichi-san, a guard who is incharge of investigating Kouki's terminal, sent in a transmission. Did he do something again? When I began to think about it, the intelligence officer began to explain.
"The other day, the amount of usage on Kouki's personal terminal had increased tremendously. We investigated the cause of it, we found something inside of a protected folder, I will forward it to you."
The file that was sent to my terminal was named "Concealment Plan". I have a bad feeling about this but I will check.
"Optical Camouflage Development Plan: Aims to develop an optical camouflage that can be used individually. The minimum ability achievable is, Silent・Waterproof・ can operate more than 30 mins. Additional objective: To be able to be mounted on a power suit for outdoor use."
