>Such a task is within her ability, but is taken from her for tradition.
>Time: 6:30am

>>3975>Location: Hoyokazi Tower, Sapporo, Japan>Time: 8:15am
>Hiyuki Hoyokazi arrives at Hoyokazi Tower in Sapporo. The centre of the Hoyokazis’ corporate empire, the tower looms over the surrounding city, piercing the heavens above. Several smaller buildings, all also owned by the Hoyokazi, surround the main tower, making its immediate area almost akin to a district for the building itself.
>Time: 9:00am
>The board’s opening meeting for the day begins, with the updates to their CEO.“Of course, there are worries among our staff that by having accepted this deal, as reasonable as it may appear, we are opening ourselves up for further risk.”
>Hiyuki Hoyokazi sighs, the concern is a common one, making it one she has responded to many times.“The deal was not signed for immediate financial gain, my astute cousin, but because Aiden Grayson provided us with the one thing that no one else could provide us with - a way of keeping a large competitor out of our area. One does not need to defend their territory as fiercely when provided with a wall.”
>The updater smiles knowingly, the concern clearly more of a test to measure commitment.“Then I have no further updates.”
“Moving on then, about your visit to our Acoustics research laboratory tomorrow. . .”

>>3976>Location: Acoustics Laboratory, Hoyokazi Tower, Sapporo, Japan>Time: 11:00am
>Hiyuki Hoyokazi arrives at the acoustics laboratory, her movements corralled by a sonics engineer that clearly has little experience performing this part of his job role. As the group goes around the lab, he awkwardly explains the purpose of every setup, experiment, and simulation that has been put on display for the department’s special guest.“And this is an attempt at making a meta-gene disruption gun. . . this experiment resulted in a 5% increase in noise cancelling efficiency. . . here we have a simulation of what a sonic barrier would achieve in disrupting a tsunami. . .”
>As she’s guided around, Hiyuki’s eyes glaze over each exhibit, having done similar facility tours a thousand times over, the marvels of such technology having long since become mundane to her. Despite this, however, each little snippet of information is internalised for her later use.
>As the tour comes to a close, Hiyuki gives the tour guide a warm smile of thanks before stepping aside for a moment to prepare to give the departmental staff a speech to thank them for their work.
>In her corner of the laboratory, Hiyuki lets out a sigh of relief over the event nearly ending, and then everything goes black as a high pitched sound reverberates around the room. . .End of Iteration 137 No.3979

>Despite this, a calm smile remains on her face as she passes by those tasked with making sure she lives a comfortable life.
>Halfway through her walk from the entrance to the main building, Hiyuki Hoyokazi stops, looking up at the mountain above to see a small light on its nearest face. Closing her eyes, she stands, “looking” in the direction of the light for a few moments before continuing her walk in once again.

>As the guide goes over each of the experiments, Hiyuki looks them over, and lingers for a moment, clearly thinking about their uses. As the tour comes to an end, she coughs politely to bring attention to herself.“Excuse me, the noise cancelling experiment, would you be able to demonstrate it for me?”
“O-oh yes, of course, if you don’t believe that it won’t cut too much into your preparation for the address. . .”
“I assure you I will be quite alright.”
“T-then of course, President.”
>The guide takes Hiyuki back over to the noise cancelling experiment, and starts going over it in more depth, occasionally turning to the engineer behind it for more in-depth explanations. As she receives the explanation, Hiyuki quietly counts to herself.“Three. . .”
>The machine hums louder as it finishes activating.“Two. . .”
>Hiyuki takes a step closer to the machine“One.”
>A high pitched sound reverberates around the room, and everyone else falls down, leaving only Hiyuki standing, who stumbles slightly, coughing up a small amount of blood.
