“I wasn’t expecting you, out of all of us, to be the first one to give away our real names, Atsumu-kun,” softly whispered M0, his face completely expressionless as he intently looked over to M5 – though one of his eyebrows was slightly more arched than usual. “You hate humans the most out of us six, after all.”

“Hmm~?” hummed M5, his hands leisurely styling his blonde strands of hair while he remained standing in front of the table. Once satisfied with the way his hair looked, pushed back just a little bit to make it seem more military-like, he lowered his upper body and brought his face closer to M0’s, whispering back at him, “You know that I would do anything if it’s for you, right, Rei-chan? I’m even willing to give away the name that you gave me if it means that they stop pestering you once and for all. I hate the way they are constantly talking about you!”

M0 was about to open his mouth to whisper once again when a hand was suddenly softly shoved against his face, pushing his head against M1’s chest and further away from M5’s features.

“You’re too close to my Rei, Atsumu,” growled M1 in the hushed form of a whisper, his grey eyes momentarily lighting up in red as he threateningly glared at M5.

“My apologies, Iru~,” whispered back M5, though his voice didn’t sound apologetic in the least – rather, it sounded amused and unworried about the aggressive response his actions brought forward. He straightened his body once again and turned around on his heels, his hand waving at the other Ms. “See you all in a bit!”

“Are you done with your pep talk with the others Ms, brat?” asked Miue as soon as M5 stopped right in front of him, the mischievous smirk in his features erupting yet another deep frown on his face.

“I have a name, Miue-san,” reminded M5, his smirk stretching even further when he saw another vein popping out in the soldier’s forehead.

“Just quickly move your ass and do what you want to do already... uhh… Atsumu,” grumbled Miue, painfully forcing himself to address to the target with his temporary fake name - and it even had to be his first name, as it would annoy him to no end to address any of the targets with the same surname that he possessed. He pointed with his thumb in the information counter’s direction and gave a sharp jerk with his chin. “Get moving before we start fully realizing just how big of a mistake this whole thing is.”

“Yes~” cheerfully complied M5, starting to walk towards the information counter while accompanied by two soldiers, Miue, who he had been continuously exchanging words with, and Kuwabayashi, who appeared to be Miue’s close friend, even though they were positioned in different squads.

M5 took a deep breath and his happy-go-lucky expression completely disappeared from his face, which now displayed a serious and worried semblance. As soon as he spotted the counter, he picked up his pace and gave a short run towards it, his expression growing even graver and worried once the woman behind the counter noticed his approaching.

“Hi there,” greeted M5, his forearms falling on top of the counter. “Do you have any information or details about the whereabouts or route of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, which is coming from Tokyo Military Base to this airport? You see... The t-targets are starting to get really restless and we can’t risk having anything going wrong in here.”

“Ah... Yes, I’ll go check it right away,” acknowledged the woman, her eyes immediately breaking out of the soldier and switching to the screen of the computer in her desk, her cheeks lightly dusted with a shade of red. After a couple of seconds typing in the computer, she relayed the information obtained from the control tower. “It appears that there’s some sort of interference going around in terms of satellites, caused by a bomb that was dropped half an hour ago in Russian territory. Because of that, airplanes have to travel more slowly so as to not bring any suspicion towards them after the attack. Your airplane is scheduled to arrive here in a matter of minutes, from what the control tower’s radars say.”

“Oh, that’s such a relief...” sighed M5, his head dropping slightly towards the counter he was leaning on. “It’s not just the targets that are getting restless, but us soldiers too. Lack of information is one of the things that we fear the most in the military world. Our lives depend on it, you know. And... I wouldn’t want anything to go wrong and risk having such a beautiful young lady like you hurt in any way.”

“O-Oh... How kind of you,” shyly answered the woman, her blush darkening even more as she heard the soldier’s compliments. “I’m certain that you are doing your very best in keeping them stable and will successfully bring those... things safely to your military base.”

“Yes, of course we will,” acknowledged M5, flashing a bright smile to the woman. He sensed that the two soldiers that were accompanying had stopped right behind him and were closely listening to the exchange of words going around them – he couldn’t really help his next following words, knowing that Miue was at hearing shot. “They’re only a bunch of brats completely uneducated in the arts of human society.”

“Yes, you’re absolutely right! Keep doing your best out there,” cheered the woman, a soft smile on her lips as she nodded her head in agreement with what the soldier was saying. When she saw the blonde giving her another rueful smile and starting to turn around to leave, she immediately got up from her chair and motioned her body forward against the counter. “U-Um! Please wait!”

“Hm?” said M5, once again turning his head to the woman while his body was already facing the way from where he had come from and the two soldiers accompanying him.

“C-Could you tell me your cell phone number...?” hesitantly asked the woman, a shy look on her face as she pulled her own cell phone from her skirt’s pocket and grabbed onto it with both hands.

“I’m sorry but I’m working right now so I can’t really...” apologized M5, fully turning his body to the woman one more time and giving a quick bow with his head. “I totally would if I wasn’t on duty at the moment but... You know, I’m not even alone right now.”

“I-I’m sorry! I just blurted out what I was thinking!” also apologized the woman, giving a long bow with her head. Once she straightened her body again, one of her hands released her cell phone and started fumbling around through her desk, gathering a post-it where she wrote down a set of numbers with a pen and then motioned forward in the blonde’s direction. “B-But anyway, here! This is my cell phone number so... p-please call me whenever you are out of duty.”

“I don’t think that’s possible,” confessed M5 as he took a hold of the piece of paper. When he saw the shoulders of the woman slump down at his words, he flashed a mischievous smirk at her while pressing the post-it against his lips. “I think I will wind up calling you even before I set my feet back in our military base.”

“Ah...” The woman tightly clutched her cell phone against her chest, her heart beating wildly in her ribcage as her blush continued to become more and more noteworthy in her features.

“See you,” said M5, giving a quick wink at the woman and then fully turning around, really starting to walk towards the two soldiers this time around. A mischievous smirk was still present in his lips.

“You have been pretending all this time to not know anything about humans, haven’t you, M5?” asked Miue as soon as the target returned to near him and Kuwabayashi. “You took my jacket out of me with ease and you behaved like a flirtatious host just now.”

“I haven’t been pretending about anything and you were already aware that I could do it,” said M5 while shrugging his shoulders. “I told you that my function is infiltration and that I’ve been forced to study humans in order to blend in with them. That’s why...” M5 leaned his face closer to Miue’s, a deep frown on his features as he spewed his next words, “That’s why I know better than anyone just how disgusting and filthy all of you are. Getting ‘humanology’ drilled into my brain is the thing that made me realize how happy I am for not being a human. It even made me resent the short years of my life where I was one.”

“You know nothing about humans, just the lies that the scientists fed you with in order to make you become a mass murder machine,” growled Miue, not backing off even a single inch even with M5’s glaring eyes intently locked on his. He lifted one of his hands and tapped his index finger on his temple, a frown creasing his brows. “All that you have in here about us is utter crap. You only think it’s the reality because you’re blinded by your resentment towards what the scientists made you become.”

“Maybe so,” dismissed M5, still intently glaring at the soldier. “But it doesn’t change the fact that humans are still downright nasty and merciless. Tell me, Miue Satoshi... Was it mass murder machines or humans that killed your siblings during the night while you were all soundlessly sleeping?”

A loud thud echoed through the airport’s information area when a heavy punch threw M5 out of balance and made him fall back down on the floor.

“Miue!” yelped Kuwabayashi, his eyes wide open at what he just saw Miue do – punching one of the targets and breaking one of the clauses on the soldier’s side of the contract with the Ms.

“Yes, you’re right! Humans are disgusting, nasty and merciless,” roared Miue, lowering his body over M5 and grabbing him by the collar of his jacket. “We kill each other just because we feel like it! We destroy everything around us without thinking twice! I’m very well aware of that as a fucking soldier! But there’s not only evil in what we do! We are also capable of compassion and helping those that need a hand. We love and share our happiness with those that are our most beloved. We kill in order to protect those that mean the world to us! We destroy to keep safe the important things in our life! Can you really call us disgusting or nasty or merciless now in a derogatory way? Because I fucking dare you!”

“Those are completely hollow words to me,” spat M5, a thin thread of blood flowing down his burst lip. “I only believe what I see with my own eyes. And what I’ve seen up until now is how you humans defile the world you live in with your worthless beliefs and your revolting pride in them. How you genetically modify your own species in order to continue to fuel a never-ending worldwide war. How you break innocent children and turn them into nothing but mass murder machine, whose only purpose in life is to kill and kill and kill until their existence is finally ended!!”

“I’ll fucking show you then!” yelled Miue, slamming M5’s torso against the floor by using his hold on the jacket’s collar. “I’ll show you how humans really are! I’ll show you the white in the black world that your eyes see! I’ll prove to you that we humans are actually capable of goodness and of bringing positive things to the world. And I’ll prove that if we can turn children into mass murder machines, we can also turn mass murder machine into humans once again!”

“...” His mouth slightly gaping open and eyes almost jumping out of their sockets, M5 silently stared back to the furious soldier on top of him. “You’ll show me... how humans really are...? Aha... Ahahahahahahaha! You’re... You’re an interesting human, Satoshi.”

Miue felt his entire face burst into a sea of flames, his blush pretty much releasing clouds of steam as he saw the most gorgeous and beautiful smile of his entire life in M5’s lips, his eyes with the word ‘happiness’ written all over their depth. He grabbed more tightly into M5’s collar and then pulled one of his hands out of his clothes, punching M5 once again out of pure embarrassment this time around. “S-Show some respect towards your elders, you fucking brat!!”

“Eh~? I just called you interesting and not any a derogatory way, Satoshi,” complained M5 in the form of a whine, not minding in the least that his face had been greeted once again by a second fearless punch.

“W-We only use first names with people we are extremely close with or members of our family,” explained Miue, turning his face away from M5 as he tried to calm himself down. “I’m older than you so you owe me even more respect and should address to me in a formal way.”

“Why should age matter at all?” asked M5, his head slightly tilted while pressed against the floor. “I’m stronger than you and I could kill you any moment I wanted, especially now that you broke the contract that we have made. Shouldn’t be you the one addressing to me in a formal way?”

“Huh? That doesn’t fucking matter!” announced Miue, proudly releasing M5’s jacket and getting up on his feet. “I’m older than you and that means I have more life experience than you. It means that I’ve survived more years in this fucking fallen world than you. Taking that and the fact that I’m only a human into consideration, who is the one that truly deserves to be respected and addressed formally here?”

“Heh,” softly snorted M5, pushing his torso up to a sitting position on the floor while he cleaned the blood that long stopped dripping out of his lip, the cut from where it had come from already fully closed and healed without showing any signs of bruising. “Then, Miue-senpai... Is Miue-senpai formal enough for you?”

“Somehow it still pisses me off,” grumbled Miue, giving a small kick to M5’s leg. “But I guess it’s the best out of all other options.”

“Nice~ Senpai it is, then!” cheerfully acknowledged M5, lifting his body from the floor with a single jump and putting his borrowed clothes back in order afterwards. He gave a step towards the soldier and put one of his hands on his shoulder, mischievously sideways glancing at him. “I can’t wait for you to show me the human world, Senpai. Don’t make me regret the fact that we haven’t started killing all of you already because we now have no contract holding us back from doing whatever pleases us the most~”

“Those words are such an empty threat,” scoffed Miue, his eyes rolling around just the slightest before he settled them likewise on M5. “You haven’t killed us already because M0 doesn’t want you to.”

“Ahahaha! Truly an interesting human, Miue-senpai.”
