Chapter 130: Investigation (3)

—

Four years ago, Himiko Toga got into a Hero Middle School. Three years ago, she fled from her home after killing her crush who was in the same class as her.

Since then, she's been roaming around the streets of Japan as an Urban Myth. 

The infamous blood-drinking vampire.

Only recently did she join the League of Villains, inspired by the famous Hero Killer feared by heroes and respected by villains.

However, the league wasn't as flashy as she thought. In fact, the reason for her joining the league, Stain, actually didn't like the leader of the group. 

That gave birth to today's incident.

Stain and Shigaraki started an argument, which evolved into a fight. In the end, Stain won and forced Kurogiri to send him out so that he could hunt some hypocrite heroes. Following him, some others left too. Seeing all that, Toga couldn't help but realise it had been a while since she last drank fresh blood, so she went out too, though in a different city than the others.

Himiko only consumed the blood of the person she’s in love with. It's like how normal people kiss the person they love, just like that she sucks the blood of the person she loves. This was why currently, she didn't have many people whose blood she wanted to suck. There was Stain, who she liked a lot because he also liked blood… but he would probably kill her if she tried anything on him. So, temporarily, she planned to suck the blood of a random beautiful person.

It's like how people can sleep with others even without loving. This is like that to her, a bloody one-night stand.

The girl she chose was a high schooler with great proportions. Moderate but round breasts, a slim waist, and a raised round butt. Himiko’s been playing with her for a while now, but she finally felt the urge to eat her up.

Which was why she grabbed her knife and prepared to jump at her… but right then, something super unexpected happened.

‘Oh no…’

From the sky, like a descending star, a man dropped to the ground in a gush of golden light which dissipated in the air immediately.

The young man stared at her with his dazzling blue eyes that had a red octagram floating over them. 

Was it love at first sight?

Or was it a sense of danger?

'Fuck he's hot.'

Himiko couldn't exactly tell before she jumped at him with the knife in her hand.

The young man softly stopped her arm by grabbing her wrist in a set of perfect movements that looked mesmerising to Toga. He opened his mouth, but the words he spoke weren't directed to her.

"Kurai, put the girl behind me to sleep."

Only then did Toga notice the black cat on his shoulder, whose golden gaze moved up and down as it nodded before jumping behind the boy. The boy's body blocked the view that was happening with the cat and the high school girl, but Toga knew whatever had happened in there wasn't beautiful from the distorted scream of her former prey.

"Hehehe…" Toga's lips widened as her fangs came visible. "I-I know you, you are-"

"Many people know me." The young man, who Toga recognised as Neji Hado from UA 1st year, interrupted her. "Which is why I made my cat do the job behind me."

Toga's grin widened further, saying, "You're really hot." before she swiped her leg behind Neji's knees… but he didn't even bulge.

"Oops, looks like I am damned, hehe~"

Toga laughed, giggling, while Neji's palm rushed and crashed on top of her ears. It felt as if her eardrums had blasted as the world spun before everything went dark in her vision, but never did she stop giggling.

Kimi was sleeping after a long day of working and a long night of reading this one isekai slime manga.

But not even half an hour into her sleep, she was awakened by a phone call. Only when she saw the caller's ID saying, "Young Master", did her annoyance vanish.

"Hello? Young master?" She slowly muttered as if scared that someone would hear. 

Kimi knew Neji was doing his own investigation, so she was a bit worried seeing him call right now. Did… something bad happen?

["Uh, hi Kimi. I am not interrupting sleep am I?"]

"You are, but that's not a problem."

["Alright, back to why I called you. Do we have any house in Esuha City?"]

"Eusha? …Yes, I remember. Your parents have a bunch of mansions and penthouses in there, and you have 2 in your own name. Why?"

["Can you send me one of their locations? You see, I just kidnapped this girl and need a place to keep her."]

"...Can't you just go to a motel to fuck? …Nevermind, fine, I am sending it."

["Thanks! Love you like always. Also, come to the location you sent asap. This is kinda serious."]

The call was cut as Kimi rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Why is he calling me so late?” 

Oh well, let her see what's up.

Kimi quickly sent the location of one of the 2 penthouses in Eusha city that were under Neji’s name. She also sent the guards patrolling in there a notification that the Young Master was coming.

Kimi had the permission to do so, and nobody would neither question it nor notify the Hado parents since they'll assume Kimi had asked for permission herself.

After that, she got up from bed, washed her face and changed into a casual dress. Then she woke up two other maids and gave them orders.

"I will be out for a while. If the Mistress asks, just say I am at a friend's house." Kimi said to the two maids in front of her, who just… stared at her.

"...You have friends?"

"Ria, I think this is a dream."

"..."

...After that, Kimi went outside and transformed into a humanoid White Tiger. Her leg muscles flexed as electricity started to crackle around her skin. 

Bzzt~

With a swift kick, she vanished from her spot, already hundreds of metres away from there in a flash of white light.

—★—

Kimi reached a marvellous penthouse in Eusha city and conversed with the guards for a minute, telling them not to disturb her and Neji, she went inside and climbed the stairs to the second floor.

"Young master?"

She started, finding Neji sitting on a couch and looking at the television while sipping juice.

"So, what happened-"

Her answer came to herself as she heard a muffled moan from one corner of the room, where she turned her head to find a blonde girl, wearing a high school uniform. erotically tied against the wall.

"Uh… you actually kidnapped a girl?" Kimi quickly ran to Neji. "Young master, did you hit your head? And where's Kurai?"

Neji changed the channel playing on the TV while taking a sip from his glass of mango juice. Only then did he turn to Kimi.

"I sent Kurai to Mono's house. Momo will take care of her, don't worry." Neji said. "And the girl tied up… look closely, she's one of the suspects who's supposed to be with the League. I gave you her information a few days ago, remember?"

Kimi slowly turned her head to the tied up Toga who was releasing muffled moans from beneath her taped mouth while blushing deeply.

"Uh…" Kimi nodded. "Yes, I recognise her now. The vampire girl… or the closest thing to it.”

Toga's case was a famous one. A few years ago she committed her first crime, killing a student and sucking his blood dry. Both Kimi and Neji knew about this. Because it happened… in the same Middle school as Neji’s.

When Neji was admitted to school, Toga was already a 2nd-year student. Just a month after school started, she killed a guy famous in her year, it caused a storm to rise in the media. That's the reason why Neji possessed the most knowledge on Toga amongst the other suspects he told Kimi about.

Neji stood up and walked to Toga while gesturing to Kimi to follow suit. In front of the girl, he crouched down and raised her chin upwards with his finger.

"My investigation's been useless till now. But with this girl here, we can easily figure out the things I need." He turned his head to Kimi, while Toga kept moaning from his touch. "She's kinda… weird, or I would have done the interrogation myself. I am sure you can tell how this would end if I were to torture her for information?"

Kimi watched Toga's heated expression and nodded. This girl will start begging for a dick instead of answering the questions asked.

"Can you take care of it?" Neji asked her. "She has a strong mind, so… torture is a must. I have the required torture gear, pain enhancing pills, aphrodisiacs. Say no if you're uncomfortable."

At that, Kimi stared at Neji's face silently…

She had promised herself back when he and she made up… She promised to do his dirty work if needed. It seems like this was one of the ‘if needed’ situations. Kimi might have been a Pro Hero before, but from her personal experience she knew not everything can be done following the Law. Sometimes… dirtying your hand is a must. 

Then again, not like this girl right here was an angel, either. 

"...I will do it." Kimi agreed.

Neji smiled and then slipped his hand inside empty space, from where he started to take out different kinds of torture instruments, amidst which most had the mediaeval theme.

Iron chair, torture boot, choke pear, some modern-day devices, some medicine and aphrodisiac, etc.

Kimi stared at all the instruments in surprise. "You have everything, huh…"

She reached out her hand to feel some of the devices. After a while, she nodded. "Tell me the information you want me to poke out of her."

Neji nodded at her and started listing out the things he needed. 

However, as Toga heard his demands, one by one, her eyes kept getting wider. The questions he asked needed context that one could only get from an already great amount of knowledge on the League. Was there a mole in her group…?

She had her mouth taped, so she couldn't say anything. But hearing him at least brought her back to her senses. This right here wasn't a game… her life was in danger.

Kimi nodded. "I understand…” She then raised one of the instruments, a stun gun, and reached out for Toga’s face… However, she stopped midway and turned to Neji with a blush. “Um, can you go out? It’s kinda awkward if you keep watching."

"Oh?" Neji looked surprised. "You don't mind being looked at in sex, but you mind me looking now…?”

It's not as if the [Mind Stone] changed her from a Masochist, either. The mind stone caused all her mental illnesses and disorders to vanish, but generally speaking, Fetishes aren’t considered a mental illness. The stone seemed to follow that general opinion, too.

At Neji’s question, Kimi’s blush grew pale and her lips curled upwards. "Well~ Do you think a masochist has the courage to torture someone?" As she spoke, her entire skin tone changed into deep white while black stripes danced on top of it, at the same time, both her hair and eyes turned silver. "I need to be a bit dominant right now, you know? This form of mine doesn’t like being watched."

Kimi's lips stretched into a weirdly sadistic smile as Neji laughed nervously and quickly left the room.
