At Sakuru's meeting office!

——————————

.

.

Different supervisors, together with the leader of Sakuru's city, had prepared a meeting for the current conditions of the city.

At the main screen was standing one guy who had prepared a panel for all the plans and rates of every detail of the city. That includes military stuff like guns and necessary supplies for them, food for the refugees, expansion of the city and creating more bases for their plans.

[ Most of the temporarily bases set up by our military has been a success so far and I'm sure if we continue this way, we'll be sure that everything will go as planned. ] 

The guy pointed at the graph on the screen as he explained.

[ But now as the number of people increases, will our resources be enough for everyone? We should reconsider and focus on strengthening the military! ]

One of the supervisors responded as he opened some plans for the military.

[ Don't be stupid!

 Right now, we are the only country left in the entire world. Doesn't that make us the strongest and only place in the whole world? If we left those refugees in fate's mercy, we would be no different from those monsters. Also you didn't reconsider that we can increase our military if we train those refugees. Even if they don't have an ability, they can use powerful guns. ] 

The supervisor of the military looked away in anger as he couldn't respond to the logical argument.

[ Now that you mentioned the military, have there been any improvements? I heard that a new group of special soldiers was formed recently? I think they were from "SHS" ? ] 

( Author's note: "SHS" is short for "Sakuru High School" )

[ Yeah, I came into an agreement that our top students would be a significant help in the military. That's why we created a special group of them so they could enhance their abilities even further. ] ( SHS's headmaster )

The headmaster responded to the supervisor's question.

[ Thanks to them, we managed to regain some of the nearest lands around Sakuru. Not only did they show a great increase in their strength but they also helped the military gather a lot of resources. It's like hitting two birds with one stone. So i think you guys should be giving some credit to me as well. ] ( SHS's headmaster )

The atmosphere around the room didn't change at all no matter what kind of topic was brought up. 

[ So you're saying that my soldiers didn't contribute anything at all during this kind of disaster? ]

The military's supervisor snapped back at the principal.

[ No, not at all. If it weren't for those soldiers, Sakuru wouldn't be here,  so I'm really grateful to them as well. But I wanted to mention that they have it easy ever since they got equipped with new powerful weapons. Isn't that right, Lily? ] ( SHS's headmaster )

The headmaster directed his sight towards Lily Gee, the creator of most weapons for the military.

Right now, Lily was looking at her own laptop without even bothering what was going in this room.

[ This is an important meeting, shouldn't you be showing a bit more respect, Lily? ] 

The president of the Sakuru "leader", asked Lily with a calm voice. But Lily didn't seem to care at all about what was being said.

[ Why would I care about this stupid meeting? Everyone else is risking their lives out there, while you grown ass man relax in these high class chairs and discussing who gets to masturbate more. ] ( Lily )

Lily harshly responded to everyone in this room.

*Slam!*

One of the supervisors slammed his hand on the table as he got up in anger.

[ You're just a little kid, know your place! ]

He wasn't the only one pissed about this, but everyone in this room as well. But since they were much more mature than Lily, they tried keeping their cool.

[ Yeah whatever you say, cowards. ] ( Lily )

Lily insulted them once again without a care. Sakuru was in a tight spot after the disaster and thanks to Lily, things had become a little easier for them. That was the only reason why they were allowing her to act like that.

[ Geh! How dare you?! You know that we can just kick you out of this group. The only reason you are here, is because you created those weapons! ] 

[ And should I consider that a threat? Heh!

Don't make me laugh, you can kick me out, I don't care at all. But you should know that i created those weapons, and you should know that I can shut them down just by pressing one button on my keyboard. ] ( Lily )

[ [ [ … ] ] ]

The room became quiet once again and the only thing that could be heard were Lily's typings on her keyboard.

[ Ahem! Anyway, I received reports regarding one of our temporarily bases near the north district. ] ( The president )

The president tried changing the topic in order to break the ice in this room.

[ Right, I was gonna mention that as well. Some weeks ago, we lost signal of their location and we can't seem to get in touch with them. ] 

[ Not only that, but our main satellite was completely destroyed, that's the reason we can't contact them. We can rely on other devices but none of our soldiers possess those. ] 

[ I see, where was their last location before our satellite was destroyed? ] ( The president )

[ Based on our digital map, their base should be some kilometres away from the Underground City. ] 

[ The Underground City? ] ( The president )

[ Yes, before the disaster, that city was called "Sunny surface city". Their city had made advanced preparations for any kind of disaster. Now their whole city, has been moved into the underground, away from any danger. ]

Another supervisor added to the conversation.

[ We also lost contact with the Underground City now that we lost our satellite. ] 

[ This really is troublesome… Three years would be needed if we were to create a new satellite but I'm afraid that don't have enough time based on our current situation. ]

[ I agree. ] 

[ Same as well here… ]

All of the supervisors were discussing the communication problem as they were trying to think of a solution.

[ Lily, do you have any ideas about this? ]

When one of the supervisors asked this question, Lily looked over to all of them. Everyone was paying close attention to her since communicating is a important thing in this world. 

[ I'm just a brat, so I don't know. You are all a bunch of cocksuckers who call themselves grown men. 

Figure this out on your own. ] ( Lily )

She closed her laptop and got out of the room as she said that to everyone.

[ What's her deal? Even though she is a genius, why does she act like a spoiled brat? ] 

One of the supervisors wondered.

[ She is an important part of our city, so we can't afford to make her upset. ] 

[ That's weird because she was a kind girl when i first saw her at the facility where she used to work. ] 

[ Well, apparently she is mad because her brother died during combat training held by SHS. And no one managed to save him, nor was his body found. ] 

[ She is angry because of that? More than half of our world's population died because of the disaster, and now is acting like that because of one person? ] 

[ Calm down Loki, she is still a young girl after all. We can't blame her… ] 

The room became quiet once again as all of the supervisors were thinking of different solutions to their own problems.

While in the hallways was Lily who was walking back to her own room.

*Beep* *Beep*

Suddenly a notification appeared on her phone as she was walking. When she pulled out her phone, a smile appeared on her face.

[ I found you…
