I was awakened by a faint sound of talking coming from somewhere.
ââŠ. naked? My hands and feet are bound?âŠâŠ
In my hazy consciousness, I desperately tried to recall what was happening.
My memory was interrupted when I was kissed by a suspicious foreign maid.
My body is terribly heavy. I feel tired as if I had run a full marathon.
âFumiFumi, you should take it easy today, Devi. You look terrible,Devi.â
âIs it that badâŠ..?â
The voices you hear are those of a boy and a girl. The boyâs voice is familiar. It is probably Kijima.
âProbably, in your current state of mind, I think you canât perform it properly, Devi. Youâll be ready for Haneda-chan, Devi after a good rest. FumiFumiâs training plan is quite interesting Devi. I feel like your talent is finally blooming, Devi.â
âHaneda?ăA classmate who lives in the same residential area as Kurosawa-san âŠâŠ?â
As soon as I muttered that in my heartâŠ
âYou think so too. Detective,âDevi?â
Suddenly, the conversation turned to me and I was startled.
âEavesdropping is bad manners, Devi. But still, Iâm honestly surprised that you woke up so soon after being drained by the Elder Succubus, Devi.â
âWho are you peopleâŠ..â
I look up and see a girl sitting in front of me.
Bondage suits like an anime character, horns sticking out of her temples. I can only consider it as cosplay.
âDevil Devi. Just your average, run-of-the-mill Devil Devi.â
She laughs, and a boy opens his mouth behind her.
âGood evening, DetectiveâsanâŠ..er, Terashima-san was it?â
âFumio Kijima: âŠâŠ untie this noose now.â
âYouâre so bossy. Do you understand your position?â
âI say again. Release me now. My colleagues know I am watching you. If I do not return in the morning, they are to step in immediately.ââ
For a moment, a look of agitation flashed in Kijimaâs eyes.
But the horned girl giggles.
âFumiFumi, can you leave it to Lili to deal with this woman, Devi?â
âWell, I donât mind, butâŠ..â
âItâs easy Debbie, if you just want to corrupt them by morning. But to be honest, itâs not that interesting, so I donât want to do it.â
ââŠâŠ what?ăWhat are you talking about!â
âTorture! Come out, Devi!â
Totally ignoring me, the horned girl shouts, and a figure appears as if springing out of the darkness.
A black leather riderâs suit that seems to stick to the body tightly. Only one black wing on her back. On her head,âŠâŠprobably a woman with a headband and sackcloth.
âShe is Torture. She is the fallen angel, Devi. A former high-ranking angel with the power to heal any wound at will, Deviâ
âFirst demons, now angels? Thatâs enough!â
âWell, listen to me, Devi, you middle-aged woman. As long as youâre alive, Torture can heal you, whether itâs skinning you, chopping off your limbs, or slicing you into little pieces. Do you know what that means, Devi?â
âWhaâŠâ
âItâs no use biting your tongue, Devi. Itâs too painful, and it will drive you crazy, Devi. Although, she can force your mind to heal. But thereâs only one way to get relief, and thatâs eternal obedience, Deviâ
As soon as the cosplay girl said this, a myriad of blades, pliers, drills and hammers tumbled noisily under the feet of the head woman known as Torture.
âHow many times do you have to be torn apart before you fall, Devi? Well, in a few minutes, youâll be begging for mercy, miserably, Devi. Then it was just a matter of alternating the taste of pain with the taste of lust, Devi. And in the morning, youâll become a miserable M-slave whoâll do anything, Deviâ
I was left speechless, my eyes wide open, stunned. I had no idea what to do.
âWhat are you going to do, FumiFumi? If you want to watch, thatâs fine, Deviâ
ââŠ..Splatter is not my thingâ
As soon as Kijima said this, the room was suddenly filled with the sound of a raging engine.
The sackhead woman is holding a chainsaw in her hand. Doddoddo! The sound was so violent that it was almost deafening.
âWaâwait! Youâve got to be joking!â
My body stiffens. I can feel my face twitch. But then Kijima turned to me and said,
âDetective-san, I hope you fall as soon as possible.â
As soon as Kijima says this and walks out the door, the sackcloth woman approaches, chainsaw in hand, making a violent screeching sound.
