Ito Ai: A New Dawn

Chapter 52: Experimentation Part Four



Ai thought for a moment and smiled mischievously. "You said anything right?" 

"Yes, yes, anything you want, I will do as long as I can live!" The man answered quickly he was truly afraid of Ai. He knew he had no chance of winning against her. This was why he was willing to put down his pride and beg for his life.

"Good, good… Then…. Suck your own… tr-ick..." Ai said, the last word was partially inaudible except for the 'ick' sound of the word. But just knowing he would guess something dirty caused Ai a great deal of pain as she did her best to hold back her laughter. For others, this might not be too amusing but for Ai, who was easily amused by other peoples internal struggles, found it highly amusing. 

"My what?" The man looked at Ai not sure if he heard her words correctly. He did not think such a young girl would say such vulgar words.

"Are you really going to make a girl repeat such words? Are you some kind of pervert? Well, I guess you are if you're kidnapping young girls to sell off to the slave traders. Anyway since you want me to repeat myself I might as well kil..." Ai did not get to finish when the man yelled out in fright.

"Wait! Okay, I will do it! I will suck my own dick! Just wait..." The man only placed his hands on his pants when he heard a bang and his vision went dark.

The last words he heard were from Ai saying: "What kind of sick bastard are you!? Saying such vulgar words! You're also a grown man! Why trying to pull your pants down in front of a young girl!?"

Although Ai was having some fun she still kept an ear out for any sounds of machina. She turned to the two young girls who were standing behind her shivering in fear at the sight of blood and slowly came up with an idea. "Hmm… This base has enough food for fifty people to last almost ten years… If we are able to hold this place for that long and I train these two girls… Okay, I will build my own army! People who are innocent don't deserve to die but they still must make themselves useful."

With this thought in mind, she looked at the two girls and asked: "Do you wish to follow me and learn skills to survive in this shitty world or do you wish to run away and be killed by the machina or enslaved by some pervert? Choose now, I do not have much time." 

The oldest of the two girls quickly raised her head. Although her eyes showed a bit of fear in them as she looked at Ai, she still said: "My sister and I will follow you. We do not want to end up in the same situation again." 

Ai smiled but still asked the little girl. "What if I was like those men, just now?" 

The oldest of the two girls' eyes grew wide with worry but then shook her head. "Big Sister saved us from those men. If big sister was really bad, you would not have saved us like you did just now." 

"Oh? Smart! I like you already. This is good. Because I can not train stupid people. What are your ages and names?" Ai asked. 

"My name is Akamatsu Kuri, ten years old and my sister is Ayse, eight years old." Kuri answered. She was starting to speak a little bit more confidently. She realized that Ai may seem cold but she was actually a very nice person.

"Ayase and Kuri, good. From today on I will be your master. You must follow my words completely and do as I say. For now, do you see those parts I got piled up over there?" Ai pointed to the pile of parts she scavenged off the machinas earlier.

Kuri nodded her head and said: "Yes. Does Master wish to have my sister and I collect them?" 

"You catch on quick. Do not stray too far from the door. You see the little mounds in the ground a little ways away from the door? Those are traps. If you step on them you will die. Also, the smaller machine, stay away from them unless they have no legs. They might still attack you." Ai gave the two girls some directions and warnings before sending them off to do the task she assigned them.

She did not want to deal with adults since adults will always have ulterior motives. But if she were to form a group made of kids around her age and younger, she can train them into a force that would rely on each other. She would train them into soldiers who could fight machina just like she did with Mai. A bond made of blood, sweat, and tears was much more likely to hold true if they were trained from a young age and it would also help keep some of these kids from suffering from much more horrible situations. Of course, with this, also came those who would cause issues, so severe punishments would also be dealt out for those who did not follow the rules. But as long as they did not go against the rules, they would have fairly good lives. They would not need to worry about food or water and would have a roof over their heads. 

Ai realized she had never thought of actually having comrades to rely on until spending so much time with Mai. Having someone who truly had your back felt very nice. With all her plans planned out in her head, Ai looked up at the blue sky above and smiled brightly. "This time around, I will live to be old and grey!"

After finishing setting up her traps, she had the two girls help her move the knocked out men into the base, to the prison cells. She then moved the dead men to the hall and covered them with a sheet. After which she had the two girls help her with all the scavenged parts. Only then did she rig the hall with a lot of traps. By the time they were all done, the sky was growing dark. Ai closed and rigged the final trap to the door that led to the staircase before heading back to where Mia was located.
