Heavenly Queens

"Thank you all for attending. As you are all aware, our Society has accomplished much. With our help, the progress of science has rapidly flourished."

This blue haired twin-tail girl. Just who is she?

"As Director of the Advanced Sciences Society, I. Hatsune Miku would like to extend my thanks to all of you. Without your cooperation we would've never gotten to where we are today."

"Do you mean?"

"Yes, as the result of all of your hard work and sacrifices Operation Humanity's reduction is but a step closer."

Operation Humanity's reduction? What's that?

"And now it's time for-"

"Excuse me."

"Yes?"

"What's Operation Humanity's Reduction? I know this is crass but I just have to know."

Madame Vice Director doesn't look so pleased.

"You dare speak out of turn?"

"I meant no harm by that, it's just that this is the first time me hearing about this Operation."

"Operation Humanity's Reduction is the de facto goal of our Society." a researcher explained.

"Huh?"

"We're not just looking to excel the growth of science. All these experiments involving the shrinkies- they're to help us as we prepare to become the new caretakers of humanity."

Hold on. Is she talking about-

"Well if there aren't any more questions I will like to continue on with our employee ceremony awards. As most of you are aware here on every day right before Christmas there is a tradition we have. And that is to commemorate the employees who have made the most sacrifice, who have strived so far. Yes, this is your moment to be proud. Working hard from a young age, diligently completing all of her tasks and building up a report with her much older colleagues, let us give 12 year old Komugi Mizuho, B-rank in general management and combat ability a big round of applause."

What?! That kid I met just a few days ago is B-rank?

"Not bad, kid. If you keep this up, I might consider having you on board with the Heavenly Queens." a drill haired blond girl stated. She looks to be quite rich. I wonder if her family has prestige.

"Don't make me fucking laugh. Her? She's just a fucking twit. She'll never be part of us Heavenly Queens."

Heavenly Queens. I had no ideal we had some sort of inner group.

"Senpai, you don't seem to like me very much, but rest assured. I'll try to live up to your standards. I hope we can look past our differences. Our Director needs it. We shouldn't be trying to fight each other and more importantly there is a matter I wish to discuss if that's okay with you, Miss Director."

Ho? What could the guest of honor have to say on this special occasion?

"Are you for fucking real?! Get a grip you piece of-"

"What is it that you wish to discuss in front of all our members, Miss Mizuho?"

"I don't mean to offend anyone when saying this but I believe we ought to place in protocols for the treatment of our charges here."

Some of my fellow Society members began murmuring amongst themselves.

"Protocols? But don't we already have something like that?"

"Charges? Is she talking about the shrinkies?"

"Don't know. Beats me. Let's hear what she has to say."

Mizuho is staring at us without a flinch of hesitation in her eyes. This must be very important to us.

"No doubt we're all aware of the amount of attempted escapes by those under our care. Indeed, we have shrunk them, taken them far away from their homes. They're lost, confused, angry and scared and worst off we have been abusing them. If Operation Humanity's Reduction is to go off without a hitch, we ought to take better care of them."

Well this is a fine mess. She's still a kid, what was she even thinking? Now she's got the whole assembly in disarray.

"What is she going on about?"

"Treat them better? They're nothing more than shrinkies. They're meant to serve us."

"How did a brat like her become a B-rank?"

Mizuho cleared her voice as she continued to speak.

"I know this may come as patronizing but I urge you. All of you, please. Think of your families, your friends, your loved ones. How would you feel if it was any of them who was shrunk? Would you be scared? Now imagine if you were being held hostage by a titan, no. Titans, very cruel titans. Would you not want to escape?"

"Your point being?"

"This increase number of attempted escapees is the result of our cruelty towards them."

"Pfft. How is that supposed to be our problem? You're just a whiny little bitch."

"It's our problem senpai because if we don't clean up now, then once Operation Humanity's Reduction has taken off, what do you think the people of this world are going to do once greeted by their new goddesses? Do you think they're just going to stand back?"

"Are you suggesting they're going to fight back? What a laughable notion. Gwehahah! I like you kid, you're a real fucking nut hag! Haha, that is a joke if I ever fucking heard one."

"Excuse me, but I very much agree with her, the guest of honor." a senior researcher interjected.

"Ho? What the fuck was that?"

"I said I agree with her. I too believe we aren't being great examples. Indeed, what we have done is horrendous. How could the people of the world trust us if we carry things out like this? No, just like what's happening now, if we keep treating the shrinkies like we're currently doing, then mark my words. They will start a rebellion."

"A rebellion? How are they even going to do that?"
"Yeah. They're all be like 1 cm in height compared to us. Can you imagine a little ant trying to fight a giant?"

"Those shrinkies are quite resourceful. I've seen them construct various contraptions with just a few household items. If left alone, they could, albeit with some difficulty, devise a way to protect themselves against us. I too, am in support of placing protocols involving our treatment of our shrinkies. I'm not saying this because I care about them. I don't. I just find it more practical to minimalize any unnecessary hindrances we may face later on." a technician replied.

"Pfft. If those shrinkies decide to rebel against us, all we have to do is send in our machines. We're leagues ahead of them."

"Still, it is because of that that we run the risk of becoming complacent. I too believe we should be more careful and perhaps even kinder to our shrinkies. How are we to set a new example to the world which once rejected us? I do not wish to be a hypocrite and frankly there is so much more we could be doing." a teacher explained.

"Exactly. Why are we so focused so much on our shrinkies? What else do we need from them? Can we not at least give them a break?"

Well this has turned into a fine evening. Is she trying to tell me what to do? The hell she thinks! I'll treat my shrinkies how I want to!

Hm. Come to think of it, I haven't purchased any shrinky yet. My lower bowls are feeling a bit lonely. Maybe I should purchase some just before this is all over so I can enjoy myself during winter break.

"Everyone, settle down. I know what Mizuho said must've upset a lot of you, but she's right and furthermore it is part of my objective. With the advent of Operation Humanity's Reduction, we will all become the new goddesses of this world, however we are not to become cruel overbearing tyrants. Instead, it will be up to us to lead humanity as their caretaker. As to why we can't just leave them alone like some of you have suggested- in centuries past humans have been known to fight and bicker amongst each other for lack of resources or wants. With us guiding them each step of the way, we can ensure they won't try to kill each other. Thank you for bringing this up, Mizuho."

"Miss Director. Are you saying-"

"Yes, I am. From now on starting from this Winter semester when we come back, there will be some serious changes involving the treatment of our shrinkies around here. I do not wish for our Society to become ravaging monsters. We are to be caretakers, the shepherds of humanity. It is thus with this imperative that we shall not needlessly torment our shrinkies. Violations of this new procedure will be met with swift and harsh reprimandations." the Director explained.

"And will this be apply only to D- rank shrinkies or-"

"It will apply to all of our shrinkies. Now, this may come as quite the challenge for some of you but if we are to become the saviors of humanity, we must act upon it. The initial is ours and our law is benevolent."

Even the Director is agreeing with her? Just what is all of this? Still, maybe that girl does have a point after all. I guess it wouldn't hurt to be nice to our toys every once in a while.

"What about rebellious shrinkies? How are we to deal with them?"

"If a shrinky is giving you problems, you may discipline them. Just don't go too overboard with the correcting. I'm glad you asked. Are there any more questions?"

Log 1917

Why that was a fine party. Even though it will be for only a short while, I can't wait to work with them again. Heheh, wow. How long has it been since I've worked here? I can't remember now. All that matters is-

"You there. Miss Aoi was it?"

"Yes, V-D?"

"I have a mission for you."
"A mission? But tomorrow is winter break. What could you have for me to do that is so-"

"That Organization you work for? Get rid of it. I need you to silence them for good. I don't care how you do it, but they must've be allowed to operate any longer."

"Wait. I thought getting prominent people to clammer up was Kanon's department."

"It is, however frankly there's a whole list of things I wish to discuss with her, especially considering her actions throughout the Society. Whatever, if you can do this for me, then I'll officially declare you eligible to join our military team."

"Our military team?"

"Haha. Just think about it. All of this work you've doing so far is nothing compared to your true skill talents. You want to get ahead earlier? Become a part of our military."

"Sorry. I don't particularly like fighting that much."

"So you say, but can you imagine all the fun you can have by not staying cramped up in a office suit? You don't realize this yet, but for a military member of our Society, they get special advantages that only the most highly rank of our non-combat personnel could wish they could grasp! For example, as a combat member you only need ¼ of the minimum amount of pts for a recommendation in order to level up to the next stage in your non-combat role. Likewise you will never have to worry about maintaining a bare minimum of pts each day and lastly, you get a 20% discount on any purchase shrinkies you buy. You can also gain a variety of other bonuses. So what do you say? Will you do it for me?"

"Heh. Why that's quite a fine offer. How could I resist. Of course I'll do it for you."

"Good and remember you have a time limit."

"What's the time limit?"

"Hm. Since Winter break is upon us, how about I'll give you until Spring break to pull this off."
"Uh, can we wait until Summer vacation? I have to arrange some things and I don't think I'll be able to complete pull this off anytime earlier."

"Fine then. I'll grant you until Summer vacation to silence them. Can't believe that little bug nearly got me. How could I've been so careless! But no matter. It doesn't matter how smart or cunny a little bug is. In the end there's nothing they can do against the might of a giantess.."

"Uh-huh. Excuse me for asking you this, but I've noticed you've been treating this group as if they were a big deal. Can you explain to me the reason why?"

"Aoi san. Are you aware of the amount of investigative agencies that our dear principle has sent to investigate our school?"

"I'm not quite familiar but I've seen a couple of detectives. We shrank and dispose of them so there was no problem."

"What if I told you that for one of those Investigation Agencies, the Organization you used to work with did not go about things the normal way?"

"I don't quite get what you're saying."

"It's very well that you don't. Unlike every other Investigation Agency that our principle has worked with, only the one that you're apart of did not directly contact our principal, In fact they didn't even contact him at all."

Huh. So that's what it is.

"As much as it pains me to say it, your Organization's standard of secrecy is really top notch. Why, we were just lucky one of Kanon's goons happened upon some juicy intel. That was a mistake and one that I will not make again."

Madame V-D… so this is what's been bothering her.

"Don't worry, V-D. I'll have them disposed of. You don't have to worry about it any longer."

"Indeed I don't. It's a good thing that we've already taken out their top agents. Augh! I can't believe I was so careless!"

"It's alright. They may have gotten the jump on our Society if only so shortly, but now that we know the cards are in our hands, they're going to wish they had just kept their heads low."

Yes, I don't know what took her so long, but now it's about time we put an end to this charade.

"Hahaha. I don't know what I was so scared of. But yes. Go and exterminate them, my dear Aoi san. Make me proud."

Oh I will, Madame Vice Director. That I will.
