After the morning meeting, Inspector Nakamura is looking over documents in the temporarily set up investigation headquarters on the third floor of the station.
All the investigators have gone out and it is just me and the inspector in the room.
I am supposed to be a liaison officer with the head of the department, but I guess he simply wants to keep me close. The nature of the work is that of a secretary at best and a servant at worst.
âIt helps that he is not a tramp who likes to flirt in the station, thoughâŠ..â
Almost at the same time as Inspector Nakamura was sipping his tea, papers in hand, there was a knock at the door.
âCome in.â
Almost as soon as he replies, the door opens and Inomoto-senpai enters the room. He walks straight up to Inspector Nakamuraâs desk and opens his mouth in a formal manner.
âHon buchou, I have a report to make.â
[Chief Superintendent]
Nakamura threw his papers on the desk and relaxed his shoulders.
âOioi, Inomoto. When thereâs no one else around, itâs business as usual. Weâre in the same class, you know.â
âEven if you say soâŠ..well, Iâll take your word for it.â
Inomoto-senpai glanced towards me and scratched his head.
âSo, whatâs the matter?â
âWell, I was washing up along the lines of who can lead the members of the track and field club to the forest path,then, a somewhat worrying backstory has emerged with the track and field club advisor.â
âWhatâs the worrying backstoryâŠâŠ?â
âI hear that advisor is a rather famous coach in the world of athletics, but his personal life is in shambles. The family is in debt and has split up. His daughter is in the soap trade.â
âI see. The moneylenders must be in bed with the continental mafia.â
âNo, the moneylenders arenât much of a problem. The Marzie gang is behind it, but I canât find anything definite wrong with them.â
âThen whatâs the problem?â
âItâs the cause of the debt. I can only wonder how he managed to spend that much money, but it seems that the debt, which reached tens of millions, was all the result of her daughterâs infatuation with a host and the tribute she paid. The host club manager isâŠâŠAnna Kamishima. Sheâs the sister of Teruya, a member of the track team.
âHer name was mentioned during the questioning, wasnât it? Anna Kamishima also has a criminal record for pimping and extortion.â
When I interrupted, Inomoto-senpai nodded silently. On the other hand, for some reason, Inspector Nakamuraâs expression changed to a stern one.
âThe adviser, who was in debt, had the club members led away by the adviser, although this is only a theory. If we think that they were taken out of the forest road to the national highway, put in a car and handed over to, say, continental people, then it is quite possible that the culprit is Anna Kamishima, or rather the Kamijima clan.â
Inomoto-senpai was a little excited. However, Inspector Nakamura looked at him coldly and said.
âRejected.â
âNah! Why? It makes sense!â
âIt doesnât make sense, Inomoto. I told you at the time of setting up the HQ, the Kamishima clan has no interest in abducting 18 schoolgirls in such a risky way. Itâs not their MO to attract public attention, is it?
âIf we take them to jail, maybe weâll find something worthwhile to do!â
âDonât be ridiculous. Itâs different from the past. If we do it, weâll immediately become a target for the human rights organisations and the mediaâ
âBut âŠâŠ!â
âRejected!â
When Inspector Nakamura showed an uncharacteristically emotional attitude, Inomoto-senpai and I involuntarily looked at each other.
ĂĂĂ
I want to get away from this place. With that single-minded determination, I cracked the whip. I was selfless.
While I was swinging the whip, Shiratori-senpai seemed to be talking to me about something, but I somehow managed to ignore that by focusing my attention on the classmates writhing in front of me.
Mako, Hotta-san, Saito-san, Kishijo-san, Sato-san, and Ota-senpaiâs younger sister. Without thinking at all about who and how many times, I just hit the girls I saw. Once I stop whipping, it takes courage to start again.
As I whip with all my heart, the screams and the sound of the whip are only recognised as ăsoundă, and their meaning disappears. My gestalt collapses and I find myself not knowing who is who very well.
My hands get tired, my shoulders ache, it becomes harder and harder to change the person I am striking, and I endlessly strike the one person in front of me, in a workmanlike manner.
It was when the Captain jumped in front of me.
âWait! Moribe! Wait! If you do any more, Saito will die!â
As I nearly whipped the captain, I came to my senses.
I realised that Saito-san was lying limp in front of me.
I was breathing on my shoulders and the faces of frightened, worm-swollen first-year students. The haggard-looking Captain looked at me with reproachful eyes.
âHaa, Haa⊠Freesia-sama. H-how many more times do I have to whipâŠâŠ?â
âYou have already exceeded one hundred fourteen timesâ
âR-really?â
Yui-chan is already nowhere to be seen in the menagerie. I was afraid to look back at the club members, so I ran out of the breeding ground.
When I went out into the corridor, Shima-senpai and Takasago-senpai were just walking towards me.
âSenpai!â
âMoribe, Iâm sorry for the trouble. Iâm fine nowâ
Shima-senpai smiled with a toothy grin. I felt a little relieved when I saw her face.
âWatch out, senpai, watch out for Shiratori-senpai! Sheâs bargaining something with me just now.â
âBargaining? I seeâŠ..sheâs a bit more motivated now, isnât she?â
Saying that, Shima-senpai forcibly pulled Takasago-senpai into the breeding area.
And when I returned to the room I had been givenâŠ
âNnâŠâŠ ah, yes, thatâs betterâŠ..â
Yui-chan was lying on the bed, running her fingers over her bare breasts and crotch. She was comforting herself.
ââŠ.. hah, hah âŠâŠ mmm.â
I stiffen involuntarily in the doorway at the unexpected sight.
The next moment, Yui and I, whose eyes met hers, both let out a dumb [Aa].
ĂĂĂ
âIâm sorryâ
âN-no, donât worry about itâ
After some awkward silence, we bowed awkwardly to each other on the bed.
âThe thought of having Amemiya lick my shoes got me so excitedâŠ..Iâve never felt like this before. No, I donât always have the chance to do disgusting things!â
âUmm, yes, I know, I âŠâŠ kind of understand that feelingâŠ..â
We both blushed and slumped.
âThatâŠâŠMoribe-san, do you have a steady gentleman?â
When I thought she had opened her mouth teasingly, Yui suddenly asked me such a question.
âSteady gentleman?ăYou mean boyfriends? No, I donât have one!ăI donât have a boyfriend. Iâve never had a boyfriend like that!â
âNo boyfriend = age, yesâ
âWhat about you, Yui-chan?â
âI had a fiancee, but⊠the deal was broken off.â
âFiancee?!â
âWhatâs this!!? Thatâs just like in a manga!â
As expected of rich people. Itâs an enviable thing for a passive person to have their parents take care of their marriage partner.
âHe was fifteen years older than me and I had only met him a couple of times~, and he looked like a greasy uncleâŠ..â
âSoâŠthatâs how it is. Iâm glad you ended your relationship with him. Yui-chan, youâre adorable. Itâs always better to marry someone you likeâ
âUh, I donât know if I should say who I like butâŠâŠdo you have a guy youâre thinking about, Moribe-san?â
Somehow, the fidgeting Yui-chan looked very different from usual, and I thought it was very cute.
âUmm⊠Iâve never told anyone about this, so please donât tell anyone about itâŠâŠYou seeâŠâŠ Onii-chanâ
âYour Onii-chan!?â
Yui-chan makes a puzzled face.
âOh, Iâm sorry. Iâm not saying heâs my real Onii-chan, Iâm saying heâs my neighbourâs Onii-chan. Heâs not the coolest guy, but heâs kind, and when we were in elementary school, he took my hand and took me to school with him, whichâŠâŠwas my first love. Heâs a third-year student at this school nowâŠâŠâ
âMoribe-san, did you come to this school in pursuit of thisâŠâŠ gentleman?â
âYesâ
âOh my!â
Yuiâs expression suddenly brightens. On the contrary, I gradually became embarrassed and involuntarily bowed my head.
âIâm not very smart, but I studied hard for the exam because I wanted to go to the same schoolâŠâŠ I wonder why Iâm talking like thisâŠâŠ Ahahaâ
âIf thatâs the case, then we should work hard to get out of here! Please introduce that person to me when you get backâ
âIntroductions, huhâŠâŠbut the first thing I need to do is to be able to talk to him againâŠâŠ.â
I donât know why we ended up talking about this, because I saw Yui-chanâs embarrassing appearance.
However, I felt a little bit happy because I felt like I could get to know her a little bit better.
