## Chapter 252 – Counterattack (3)
The Public Security Police Department had recently become nothing short of a chaotic mess.
Much like the academy, which had been robbed by petty criminals and was now the target of public scorn, the department was bombarded with complaints about its failure to apprehend the culprits as a law enforcement agency.
“Any results yet?”
“No, this is just a drunkard!!
What do you mean, suspect?! Suspect?!
Does this drunk look like he has the brains to attack the academy to you?!”
The attack on St. Flansina Academy was a sensational news story.
As an institution directly under the royal family, responsible for the security of the kingdom and the capital, it was one thing to fail to prevent the attack on the academy. But to only recover the corpses of the attackers afterward, without capturing them, was another matter entirely.
“Then who the hell killed all the suspects!?
What are the results of the magic-sensitive analysis?”
“We are still conducting the analysis, but…
It seems they already left the academy…
We are also analyzing the faculty and students…”
So, under immense pressure from above, the Public Security Police Department was in a state of utter chaos, with officers running frantically through the hallways.
Amidst this, a young female investigator, Bedel, was summoned to the office. She had a rough idea of why she was being called and began to offer a lengthy explanation.
She flinched at the immediate shout that followed, then hastily fired off a question.
“Students? What students?! Are you out of your mind?
How could a bunch of greenhorns do something like that?!
And don’t you remember the female professor’s testimony who witnessed the scene?
It’s only been a day since she said the culprit was an unfamiliar outsider!!
How are you handling this case?!”
“I’m sorry!! Then what should be the direction of the investigation…”
“Even if it takes time, trace back all the signs of intrusion from the outside!!
That’s the only way to catch them for sure!!”
“If the magic traces disappear midway…
Yes, I understand… I’ll do it right away…”
As Bedel bowed and turned to leave, the older man seemed to remember something.
He tilted his head for a moment and asked Bedel,
“Come to think of it… where’s Deborah?
Why are you reporting to me when things are like this?”
“That’s… haven’t you heard…?
Investigator Deborah is conducting an undercover investigation in the back alleys of the northern district of the capital…”
“Tch… here we go again… Get out!!”
The older man, clutching his forehead, waved his hand dismissively, and the young investigator quickly grabbed her document board and left the room.
He realized that his adopted daughter was having another one of her strange episodes and ended up muttering to himself as he signed the documents on his desk.
“What is she doing this time, and where…”
But even so, he believed there must be a reason for her actions.
He quickly put it out of his mind and began to focus on his work, a faint smile playing on his lips.

.
.
.
Completion of the Royal Elite Investigator Curriculum, directly certified by the royal family.
Awarded the White Dragon Medal as an outstanding investigator in the Year of the White Dragon, based on loyalty to the royal family and contribution to the nation.
Her career began with a dazzling start, having apprehended 40 heinous criminals in her first year of appointment, a feat that most rookie investigators would be lucky to achieve with 10.
Of course, there were those who dreamed of becoming investigators after seeing her brilliant career, and there were even those who hesitated to commit crimes, fearing that they might become her target.
But she herself paid no attention to the opinions of those around her and continued to perform her duties as if she were stepping on the accelerator and going on a rampage.
Her name was Deborah, and she would use any means, any method, within the bounds of the law, to catch criminals.
After her mother left, and her father, a widower and the sole provider, was stabbed to death in a back alley, she was taken in by her father’s friend, a man who was then a police inspector but is now a superintendent, and became his adopted daughter.
“I am someone who catches bad guys.
I will catch the guy who killed your father, no matter what.
No matter how long it takes… no matter what it takes…
So let’s go together for now.”
She followed her adoptive father, who may not have given her as much love as her biological father, but gave her no less.
She passed numerous trials and proudly made her name as an investigator in the Public Security Police Department.
With her uniquely honed vision, she solved countless cases every day, and she had a unique way of handling things.
She was the only one in the Public Security Police Department, a fundamentally hierarchical organization, who was tacitly allowed to act alone.
The cases and results she brought in while working alone were pouring in, so it wasn’t all bad news for the department.
Of course, it stemmed from her always efficiency-oriented way of thinking, but perhaps because of her adoptive father’s influence, she didn’t act particularly abrasive within the organization.
She actively participated in department events and official duties when necessary.
It was just that her juniors who respected and tried to emulate her, and her seniors who tried not to be outdone by her juniors, had a bit of a hard time keeping up with the raised standards.
The only downside was that she worked so hard that she missed her chance to marry.
“What brings you to our establishment, miss?”
“I have some business to take care of.”
“Well, I suppose so. Go ahead and take care of your business.”
The thug who let the cloaked woman pass glanced back at her as she entered the building and smacked his lips.
She was a woman he had never seen before, but if a woman came to this brothel, it was one of two things.
Either she was looking for Bullman, or she wanted to become a prostitute.
“I hope it’s the latter.”
He fantasized about being able to hold her as a customer later, and the bulge in his groin grew slightly as he refocused on his doorman duties.
The woman who passed through the front door and entered the building adjusted the hood of her cloak and headed towards the counter.
“Welcome, customer!!
What can I help you wi… customer…?”
A cloak that covered her entire body and a hood pulled down low.
In some ways, her attire looked very suspicious, and a female beastkin sitting at the counter in place of Laniere, who was busy with an errand for Vivian today, looked at her with puzzled eyes.
The thought that they wouldn’t have let a suspicious person in from outside, and the sense of unease she felt from her instincts, were fighting in her head.
“Customer, would you mind taking off your hood?”
But she couldn’t take it off, for she was Deborah.
She was currently on a covert investigation, and this place was nothing less than enemy territory.
The moment her face, which was somewhat famous in the back alleys, was revealed, someone would surely recognize her.
“Um… customer… just your face for a moment…”
“Is there a problem?”
“Have you arrived, Miss?
No, it’s not a big problem…”
At that moment, someone was coming down the stairs from the second floor of the brothel, next to the counter.
Soft, fluffy, and long blue curly hair, just like in the pictures she had seen.
And judging by the fact that the beastkin at the counter called her ‘Miss,’ she immediately knew that this was the person who best matched the information she had received.
“So…”
At that moment, Deborah, hidden from Vivian who was coming down the stairs, slightly lifted her hood and showed her face to the beastkin.
As soon as she saw her face, the beastkin looked surprised and nodded as if to say she understood.
“Ah…!! That’s what it was…
There was no problem at all.
Please wait a moment…?”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll be right back.
Take good care of the store while I’m gone.”
“Yes…!! Don’t worry!!
Then, customer, this way…!!”
As Vivian left with those two words, Deborah was about to turn around and follow her, but the beastkin, who had already come out from behind the counter, gently linked her arm with Deborah’s and led her somewhere.
“Um… just a moment… I just remembered I have something urgent to do…”
‘Stronger than I thought…’
“Oh, is this your first time here?
Then you might be nervous.
But it’s more… pleasant than you think…?”
But the beastkin didn’t seem to have any intention of letting her go, no matter what she was thinking.
Deborah, who was supposed to be following Vivian but was now being held in a strange place, was dragged by the beastkin, who was leading her with more strength than she had expected, and arrived in front of a room.
“Then… please wait here for a moment?
Have a good time…♡”
The beastkin, licking her lips slightly, smiled seductively and opened the door, letting Deborah inside.
Deborah, feeling an ominous premonition at her actions, recalled Vivian’s words that she would be back soon and decided to change her initial plan.
‘I’ll just stay here for a while as a customer.
I won’t do anything and just gather information little by little while staying here for several hours.’
But before she could finish her thoughts, the door suddenly opened, and the light from the hallway poured into the dimly lit room, creating a large shadow.
“Welcome, customer? I don’t think I’ve seen your face before?
I give amazing service to new customers.”
A considerable giant, with a muscular torso and a suitably masculine bull’s head.
And with a grotesque rod dangling in the middle of his body, Deborah felt like her eyes had been tainted and let out a small sigh, closing her eyes.
“Come here and lie down.”
She didn’t want to arouse suspicion, so Deborah called Bullman to the bed.
“Shall I undress you?
Oh, a beautiful customer has visited.
My little guy will be excited too… huh…?”
“I don’t need that, just be a cushion and stay still.”
“No, is this okay? You’re not going to do anything?”
“Then you’re making money without doing anything.
So just shut up and stay still.”
Sitting with her back against Bullman’s firm belly, she closed her eyes and slowly focused on the sounds coming from outside.
The sound of footsteps walking down the hallway.
The sound of customers chattering in front of the counter.
And the sticky moans echoing from the walls of the surrounding rooms.
She couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
Even though she was just a woman, and her mind was only focused on work, she was still a human being belonging to a society, so she was bound to encounter various things.
Passionate lovers she encountered as witnesses at crime scenes, warm couples who embraced each other even after becoming victims of crime.
She had sometimes thought about connecting with someone while seeing these people, but she couldn’t imagine herself living that kind of life.
Even now, she was sitting with her back against his belly, using it as a cushion, not knowing the value of the huge thing in front of her, while other women would be drooling and rushing to pay for it.
She was different from those other women living in the world.
She didn’t know as much about herself, her body, or her mind as they did, so she was a woman who couldn’t live peacefully in an ordinary way.
Because she was a human being who was thorough in her self-objectification, she tried to shake off her thoughts as much as possible and just listened to the situation outside.
“It’s a little itchy just being here…”
But that was just her thought.
How many males could resist having a charming woman in front of them, even if it was just work?
As a rough hand reached out to take off her cloak, she grabbed the collar of her cloak.
“I told you not to, didn’t I?”
“I’m also in a position where I’m getting paid to do something, you know?
I can’t just stand here like this.”
“So, I, who paid the money in the first place, am telling you to stay still… tch…”
She wanted to end it quietly, befitting a covert investigation, but Bullman’s hand wouldn’t stop, not knowing her heart.
With Bullman’s hand, which was perhaps as strong as her own after repeated training, she thought she had no choice but to take out the claws she had been hiding and reached into her arms.
– Clang
“Eek!!”
“Don’t be presumptuous.
I won’t say much…”
As she quickly drew the sword from her cloak and pointed it at his neck, Bullman was startled, as if he had never imagined that it would come out of there.
Just as Bullman was surprised by the sudden bloody situation, Deborah’s head turned back as she saw a hand reaching out from behind her to grab the blade.
“Peanut!! I brought your medicine!!”
“Sis!!”
Of all things, Bullman’s nickname was Peanut.
It was a ridiculous nickname, but no one cared about it in this situation.
A lively blonde girl, placing a bag and a wooden cup filled with water on the table next to the bed with her other hand, was talking to Bullman in a cheerful voice.
“You ejaculate a lot, right?
So Vivian told me to have you take some medicine just in case.
She said that one pill will prevent you from getting anyone pregnant?
But who is this customer?
Playing with dangerous toys?”
Fortunately, she was still wearing her cloak, so she hadn’t seen her face.
But Deborah thought that her appearance of drawing a sword as if she was about to stab someone wouldn’t be seen in a good light.
Just as Deborah was about to take action.
“Um… Sis… that is…”
“Is weapon possession prohibited in our store?
You have to leave it at the counter when you come in?
You can pick it up later when you go back?”
The blonde girl, grabbing the middle of the blade with her bare hand, snatched the sword away with her brute strength.
Deborah’s eyes widened at the sight of her not even getting cut, even though she seemed to be holding it quite tightly.
She had given quite a bit of strength when she resisted Bullman just now.
This girl was dealing with her with even more compressed power.
Of course, she was wearing thin black rubber gloves on her hands, but the room wasn’t bright enough to notice that, and it all happened so suddenly that she couldn’t even speak.
With that girl’s affectionate and bright smile in front of her, Deborah was dumbfounded that she had been disarmed without even resisting.
“Ah!! Come to think of it!!
Sorry for interrupting…!!
I’ll extend your time with my authority…!!
Then have a really good time?
Peanut!! You have to treat the customer well? Got it?”
“Yes… yes… Sis…!!
Then, since Sis said so, I’ll treat her well!!
I’ll work hard to make sure you leave satisfied…!!”
Deborah watched the blonde girl’s back as she opened the door and walked back into the hallway, and as she noticed that her clothes were gradually being taken off, a dumbfounded groan began to leak from her mouth.
“Huh…”
