Chapter 635 – #5-41 the Escapee Leader, And… (3)
* * *
“It’s too late. I thought my neck was going to fall off. Why are you so late? “Maybe there was an accident?”
Number 13 asked that tactfully.
Even while asking questions, he did not stop teasing Apple’s body in his arms.
Apple’s bottoms were completely removed, and she wore only a blouse on top, but even that blouse was completely open in the front.
No. 13 had taken off his clothes, and traces of sweat and body fluids were visible on both people.
Also, there is a sweet and obscene smell in the room, so it is impossible to guess how long the two people stayed here.
As Mer guessed, she had noticed her escape… From the very beginning, the two people had been waiting to arrive here.
She was waiting here in the captain’s office for Mer to arrive…
“Why… How… ?”
“Why don’t you close the door and come inside first? Or, are you going to tell the whole story to your subordinates? “It doesn’t matter here.”
Mer gritted her teeth at No. 13’s words, but she obediently closed the door and entered the captain’s office.
Again and again, he approaches and moves in front of the desk where No. 13 is sitting…
“Good. Then congratulations, Mer. I finally broke your stubbornness and made the right decision. “I’m really, really happy.”
Number 13 suddenly applauded and praised Mer.
Apple, which has been playing at the hands of No. 13 until now, also appears with a face that looks as if it will melt… However, he praised and applauded.
As Mer, she cannot understand the English text.
“What are you talking about… I ran away… Here… I don’t want to do what you want again…”
“What are you talking about, Mer? You promised, right? 『7 days have passed and on the 8th day, if you stay in the hideout and wait, you win. Otherwise, it’s your loss.”
“… ?”
Mer frowned in her embarrassment.
What on earth is this man talking about?
I can’t understand what he’s saying right now.
The possibility that immediately came to mind was that he was trying to boil himself by playing with his tongue.
All I can think is that he, who cooked and boiled Lahe with his tongue and brainwashing, is trying to deceive himself again.
Mer looked at him with distrust, wary of what kind of lies he might tell.
Number 13 touched the smartphone that was lying nearby, opened a file, and threw it in front of Mer.
What he played was a recording file.
『… Because Did you promise? If you do not protect me, I will risk my life and make one last resistance.』
『Okay, okay. Be sure to keep your promise. I’m also scared of the captain’s final struggles. Mer, please keep your promise. I want you to protect my dignity as a captain.』
“Don’t worry. I will never break my promise. … That’s not why I’m writing this contract.』
The recorded voice was a conversation between himself and No. 13.
It’s about a promise the two made.
That promise is, as No. 13 just said――
『One, after the designated time of 7 days, on the 8th day… Until then, if I stay calm and do not run away from here, it will be my victory.』
『If victorious, Villain No. 13 promises to completely liberate me.』
That is Mer’s own voice.
There is no way you can misunderstand her own voice.
『On the other hand, if Mer breaks his promise and does not wait… So, eh… For example, if you steal a car and return to the 3rd Division’s base on your own, in that case Mer will be defeated.』
『In case of defeat, Mer will give everything to me, Villain No. 13… The body, the life, the strength, the rights, and even the soul… Let’s give it our all.』
『Other details are written down in the contract here, so you can check them yourself… Is this enough? There are no objections, right?
The recorded voice continued for a while.
From what I can hear just from his voice, he was very amenable to No. 13’s suggestion… She even felt like she was forcing No. 13 into this contract.
That’s because he thought it was something he could never lose.
If you just wait, if you just endure, you can win… Because that’s what it was about.
『――――』
Pop…
Eventually, the file that played to the end stopped and there was silence in the captain’s room.
No. 13 looked up at Mer as if that was enough, but Mer just stood frozen in place, wondering what she was thinking.
Her face was expressionless rather than shocked.
The change in facial expression was not that big.
She didn’t look like she had learned something she had never known before.
No. 13 calmly waited for Mer to speak her words.
Apple, held in his arms, lets out lewd sounds again as No. 13 caresses her elastic chest and warm top…
* * *
Mer was lost in her thoughts.
Faced with this shocking fact, her thoughts did not stop… Rather, it was clearer than ever.
Mer “Knew” About this promise, about this contract.
Right. That’s right.
It’s not that No. 13 played foul on her and brainwashed her into forgetting the details of this contract.
The contents of this recording are not fabricated, and she clearly remembers the existence and contents of the contract she signed with him.
Of course, even this memory may have been forcibly planted at this moment using her brainwashing.
But at least.
When escaping from the hideout of [Abyss] Today… And on the way here.
She clearly remembered this promise.
– Her mind was always agitated.
Yes, I guess so. Escaping was tantamount to admitting defeat.
– In her head, she kept shouting to go back.
That’s right.
She had to.
It would have been better if I had gone back to the hideout. And if you were waiting in the room for number 13.
In that case, even if she did come out for a moment, she would have been able to make an excuse somehow.
No, in the first place.
Because coming out of the hideout meant her defeat, she felt so rejected that she tried to change her mind one last time.
With the feeling of grasping at straws.
She knew.
Heading to Division 3’s base like this means defeat.
I was definitely expecting it.
Number 13 goes out today, and that he will be waiting here.
She had made a decision.
Admits her defeat and says she will give everything she has to No. 13.
The reason she came here to the captain’s office was actually not to reveal everything about herself, No. 13, and the 【Abyss】… She was here because she knew that No. 13 was waiting for her.
“… Work.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“… 7 days… Not yet… That’s right. Apple’s… The curriculum… Yet…”
It’s no different from the conclusion of everything.
Mer finally spoke, squeezing out her voice.
Even though you ask yourself the question, you already know the answer.
“What do you mean, Captain Mer? The 7-day curriculum you conducted with me ended successfully? Captain Rahe and Captain Mer, I even gave you a certificate that I made myself?”
“…”
“Braided. That listing, I took it back and did it like this… Here, I brought it to you in a frame. I thought it would be perfect to place it somewhere in the captain’s office. Please put it in a place where you can see it clearly.”
Don’t lie.
There are still three days since the curriculum started… No, it probably only lasted about four days.
… No, no.
There is no clock in that room. There was no calendar, and the windows were blocked, so I couldn’t see the scenery outside.
Apple’s training did not take place at the same time every day, but rather took place whenever she wanted.
The only thing I could barely tell was that the meal was served on time.
In his rigid thinking, he traced his memory and counted the number of meals he had… Reminds me of And then I counted them.
… If you calculate it, clearly 7 days have passed and today was the 8th day.
And what I couldn’t forget was that I clearly remembered the existence of the listing I received from Apple.
The paper in that frame that Apple is proudly holding up… She definitely knows that… That’s because I received it yesterday…
There was no clock or calendar in the room, so my perception of date and time was all mixed up.
That can happen. You can be mistaken about the date.
However, she clearly remembered that she had completed the entire curriculum.
During the course of the curriculum, she meets No. 13 twice… No, I had a total of four sleepovers.
She left Rahe three times, and she remembers feeling extremely frustrated.
If you count that she sleeps once a day, that’s a total of seven.
… As expected, her sense of time was so confused that she just couldn’t perceive it properly…
I knew it.
I knew it.
She knew everything.
Although there may have been some confusion, she already knew what the consequences of her actions would be.
He knew it all and acted.
However, perhaps it was difficult for her to fully accept her actions, and she sometimes even deceived herself.
It is not the intervention of No. 13.
Of course, he might have prepared a means of victory just in case.
At least in Mer’s actions today, there was no interference from No. 13 in this decision.
If she was mistaken or misunderstood anything, it was just a fantasy she created or a lie she imposed on herself.
“I am…”
“Is there still something left, Mer? I don’t understand something, or am I missing something? If not, can I just end it like this?”
Something.
Something has to be said.
But I don’t know what to say.
Because I already know everything I need to know.
About today’s events, about this match, No. 13 didn’t use any tricks.
Of course, she may have been somewhat intentional about the timing, but even if she hadn’t mistaken the time and date… She would have made the same decision herself.
Number 13 caressed Apple’s nipples, gently rubbed her clitoris, and looked at Mer.
And, with her eyes narrowed… I declare with a smile.
“Then, let’s finish, Mer.”
“Once again
――Congratulations, Mer. From now on, you belong entirely to me, Villain No. 13.
”
“The body, the mind… Personality, life, strength, rights, and even the soul.”
“Everything, everything is mine Mer.”
No. 13’s words and No. 13’s sentence fall.
The promise between the two was confirmed as the result.
And.
“… Ah…”
Slurp-
Is it the result of that sentence?
At that moment, the light disappeared from Mer’s eyes.
It feels like her limbs are stiff, like those of her doll.
The consciousness and thoughts fell into a soggy darkness like a dark swamp.
Mer, whose eyes have lost the light, is just standing there in front of No. 13.
As if the soul had escaped, or completely belonged to No. 13
Puppet
As if it had become.
The defeated hero froze in place…
