"Ughhhhh…"
When I opened my eyes, the blindfold was removed from my head, but I was still tied to the chair that I was on earlier.
The place was dark without any lights at all, there was glass, and a person covered by a sack on their face in front of me. A tall slender man with a mask was beside that person dancing around with the melody of the piano that was still playing right now.
"Sigh… You're finally awake."
The person who spoke showed himself in front of me. I remembered his voice, this person was the one who stabbed me in the leg earlier. He had messy dark hair and had a terrible posture. But, I could not see his face since he was wearing a mask just like the tall slender man in front of me.
The tall slender man who was dancing noticed that I woke up, approached near me where the glass was blocking the two of us and bowed his head with a proper etiquette like introducing himself to a queen.
"Oh, our mademoiselle is finally awake. Bonjour Ms. Beautiful Lady. I am the one, and only fabulous duke, and the right-hand man of our leader. My name is Mr-."
"Shut up you fucking pervert. The leader told us not to disclose our names to this girl. What is the purpose of our masks in the first place if you are going to tell her your name?"
"Oh, my apologies. That is right, I am sorry mademoiselle but my lord is more superior than someone like you. AAAAAH MY LORD!!! THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO PLEASURE YOU THIS DAY!!!"
The tall slender man kneeled down and hugged himself while calling for their leader several times. He was crazy, this was the first man who had talked to me before.
But, what do they mean by not telling me their names, and hiding their faces?
"You… You're a journalist, am I right?"
The boy with me on this side of the room separating us from the tall slender man gazed in front of me.
Is that the reason why they don't want to show me their identity? Well, it made sense. If there is a possibility that I can get out of this place.
Their identities will be revealed all over Japan, and people will know what kind of people they are.
"Hey… Do you want me to peel one of your fingernails?"
"Y-Yes! Yes, I'm a journalist."
I answered this guy's question immediately. This person will not hesitate to hurt me. These two people are…
Murderers…
"Sigh… So our leader was right."
"AAAAAH!!! MY LORD!!! YOU ARE REALLY THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!!! I WILL FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE MY LORD!!! I WILL DIE FOR YOU! I WILL PROTECT YOU! YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING! I LOVE YOU MY LORD!"
The tall slender man went even crazier than before. He was pulling his hair out, and he was bending his torso back, and forth.
"MHMMMM!!! MHHHMMMM!!!"
Suddenly, the person who was tied up in front of me woke up and started panicking just like I did earlier. He was also clueless, and he kept on struggling in his seat.
"Oh, I guess our fabulous monsieur has finally awoken from his deep sleep."
The tall slender man stopped acting crazy and went to where the person was. When the man pulled the bag to reveal the face of the person who was tied up the same way as I am, I couldn't believe the person who was in front of me.
"Kazu..?"
