Chapter 103: The Future in Her Eyes
"So, Azuma-kun, you're here to inspect the work. What exactly are you hoping to see?" Yukino asked, straightening the papers on her desk.
"I want to visit the workshop. And while I'm at it, are there any finished products I can look at?"
"I'll go with you. The products are stored in the warehouse on the fifth floor."
"You're not too busy?" Azuma glanced at her. "I can check them out myself."
"I'll go with you," she repeated, this time more firmly.
Azuma smiled faintly. "Alright."
Without another word, Yukino efficiently stacked the documents, stood up, and led Azuma out of the office. They descended to the fifth floor via elevator, stopping before a nondescript metal door. Yukino swiped her access card.
The door clicked open.
Beyond it stood another security checkpoint—a reinforced door with a numeric keypad. Yukino entered a code with practiced ease.
Security was tight. As it should be—Laplace's innovations were far from ordinary.
The second door slid open with a soft hiss, revealing a vast but sparsely populated warehouse. Inside, scattered across the polished concrete floor, were various smart home appliances.
