Walking inside Saki's apartment with Mizuki, I quickly learned how useful she can be when truly needed. Both Sakura and her mother were tucked away in their beds with the memories of the night turned into a simple dream. Upon waking up, all they'll remember is the lingering feeling of forgetting something but apart from that, we didn't need to worry about the situation much.
"Hypnosis, never told me you had such an ability, why?" Grabbing the bag that I'd left in Saki's care, I turned to Mizuki to confront her.
"Ifrit has his flames, the invisible guy had an invisible demon, as for me, well…" Creating a circle with her finger in the air, she produced a deep blue magic circle that emanated power and cold. "I'm fluent in magical deception, although it drains my strength so I need to feed on more negative human emotions to compensate."
Looking back at Saki lying on the bed, I couldn't help but wonder.
"And whose emotions did you sink your teeth into today?" Simply shifting her attention to Saki, she answered my question without uttering a word. "Don't know how I feel about that, but, we'll know if it'll cause any trouble by tomorrow."
With the inspection of the camera still remaining, I didn't want to lag behind in someone else's apartment any longer. Having Mizuki get the apartment key from Saki, I had her lock it from the inside before returning it to its owner and then phasing through the front door to join me again.
"We better get a huge share of Malice points from that girl for dealing with the mess she made," latching onto my shoulder like a bat, she began snuggling up to my neck from behind. "Anyways, using magic drained me a lot so I'll go sleep now."
Yawning right by my ear, she almost made me yawn as well. Shaking my head I kept myself from following suit and finally stepped inside my apartment.
"Dammit…" Opening the door was enough to rejuvenate the pain in my shattered fingers. "What's that girl's head made off anyway? Titanium?"
"Another reason we need her to share the point she earned from the kill," Mizuki whispered in my ears, sounding quite dreamy.
"Just lay on the bed," shaking her off my shoulders, I placed my bag on the bed. Reaching inside, I took out the camera. "We don't have a computer. Could try and take out the memory card instead."
Scanning the tiny gizmo, the slot for the card was eventually revealed. Pressing the card inward with my nail, it ejected right out like a spring. Putting away the camera itself, I slotted the card into my phone, but the damned flip phone couldn't support the data size of the memory card.
"Mizuki give me your phone," shaking the sleeping beauty on the bed, I tried to wake her up but she only grunted in a subconscious state. "Dammit, I'll take it myself then."
Checking the leather jacket's pocket I was met with disappointment. Then reaching further down to her tight ripped jeans, I tried to get my hand into her pockets but the slit was shut tight because of her plum thighs that almost ripped out of her clothing. Eventually, however, my fingers managed to slip in.
"Ahahah!" All of a sudden, Mizuki burst into a stream of laughter as my hands finally snatched the phone from her pocket. "Wha-ahaahaha! What the hell are you doing?!"
By the time she came to her senses, I already had her phone in hand.
"I needed your phone to check the footage," the moment I pressed the power button to switch it on, she leaped towards her cell, but I managed to slip away from her trajectory. "What's your problem? I need th-"
The moment I saw the first screen that popped up, it all began to make sense as to why she didn't want me to use her phone. Pictures of nude human models were all over her gallery. Had it just been that I wouldn't have been so shocked, but reading the small notes by her on those pictures sent chills down my spine.
I wanna eat his heart, his liver, his kidneys! Oh my, those muscles would spasm so hard when I carve them with a knife. Perhaps my name? Perhaps something embarrassing? Either way, I wanna see him cry and I feed himself back to him. Those were the words scattered over countless pictures. Many more of them were too much for me to even read.
"Whatever gets you off succubus," shaking my head, I tried not to be distracted any longer.
"Jealous, are we?" Wearing a gnarly expression, she kept glaring at me. "Don't worry, you'd still be my favorite meal."
"As if I care," ignoring her altogether, I quickly slotted the memory card into the touch screen device. Fortunately, this time the phone was showing the memory card without any errors. "If you want a look at what's inside then stop whining and come closer."
Sitting at the edge of the bed, I navigated to the only file on the memory card. It was a few hour-long video with no sound, but more importantly, it was shot entirely inside the girl's restroom.
"Matsuri?" I mumbled, seeing Matsuri's face the moment the video started.
Being inside a restroom stall, she was setting the camera under a restroom seat to capture whatever it was that she wanted to capture.
"Someone has a weirder kink than me, I suppose?" Mizuki muttered, and as weird as hers was I had to agree that whoever the footage was landing in hands of was one sick motherfucker.
"You're right…" Not wanting to witness anything disturbing, I skipped until near the end of the video where Akane must've taken the camera out.
Surprisingly enough, it seemed like she locked the entire place and did a full sweep of the restroom with every stall's door flying wide open. Eventually, she took the very camera we had and turned it off.
"The timestamp at the corner of the screen, matches with our recess time," since the video was recorded with a camera it had plenty of other information as Ui. The only thing that mattered to us though was the time and date, both of which matched with when we ran into Akane by the stairs.
"So the girl we saved from getting raped today is herself a damned pervert?" Mizuki mused, pressing her fingers against her chin.
"That or Kimura is behind this, like every other illegal activity at our school," taking a moment to just think everything through, I landed on our next steps of plans. "We need to talk to Akane and find out what's happening exactly. Maybe she'll even help us bring down Kimura."
"What about Hero and his mum, I thought you were going to focus on them for now. Not to mention the girl Hakumi we talked to on the bridge," piling one question after the other, Mizuki curiously hummed trying to figure out what I was thinking.
"I have an idea, something that'll allow us to fuck Hero over and get us enough dirt on him to blackmail Miss Yuuko," picking the camera back into my fingers, I looked at it for a moment while ironing out the rest of my plan. "Hakumi will be a long-time investment, as for Akane, we'll have to rely on some of your stronger suits to make her talk."
Shifting my attention to Mizuki, a wide grin took over my lips. Sensing something sinister brewing in my skull, a similar grin crept up her lips as well.
"As you say…Master," She chuckled, laying bare her razor teeth.
