Chapter 113: Advance, The Hundred Devouring Families' Torture Manor
During dinner, Hachiman Hikigaya noticed that Yumeko, who was sitting across from him, seemed a bit off.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes kept glancing at him.
At first, he didn't think much of it, until...
Pata!
The chopsticks that Jabami Yumeko had been holding in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Ah, Yumeko-onee-chan, I'll go get you another pair," Komachi said.
"No need, Komachi," Jabami Yumeko replied, licking her lips and smiling seductively.
Her curvaceous body slid under the table like a snake, and after picking up the chopsticks, she didn't immediately return to her seat. Instead, she propped herself up with her hands, one in front of the other, on the floor, and her hips were lifted high, her eyes fixed intently on the area between Hachiman's legs.
Hachiman, who was savoring his own cooked cod, suddenly stopped moving, his pupils constricting.
His "iron brother" seemed to have been hijacked by someone's hand.
The hand was weak and boneless, moving like a snake.
"Huh? Onii-chan, what's wrong?" Komachi asked.
Komachi's voice brought Hachiman back to reality, and he pulled his body back.
After a while, Jabami Yumeko finally emerged from under the table, her face bright red. She looked like a monster from an urban legend, one that sucked out a person's energy, and she licked her lips with a hint of unfinished business.
Under Komachi's puzzled gaze, Yumeko's hand seemed to be weighing something, grasping at the air.
Then she looked at her older brother.
He seemed to be clenching his legs, struggling to resist something.
What was it?
Young and innocent Komachi didn't notice, but Yumeko's right slipper was alone under the table.
And her right foot?
Was nowhere to be seen.
.
.
.
Hachiman Hikigaya made a quick escape.
He came up with a plausible excuse and slipped out of the house, leaving Yumeko, who was in a strange state, and his sister Komachi behind.
He had important business to attend to.
He hailed a taxi and gave the driver the address, then closed his eyes to rest.
His mental energy was a bit exhausted from resisting Jabami Yumeko's sneak attack during dinner.
"Ah, female killer..."
This term was still too new for 16-year-old Hachiman Hikigaya.
Actually, he didn't have much to ask, just to confirm whether the other party was sent by Mibuomi Aoi or not. If so...
Hachiman Hikigaya opened his eyes again, his gaze fierce, like a bloodthirsty beast.
In addition, he was also curious about the other branches of the Hundred Devouring family. Hachiman wanted to take this opportunity to gather intelligence on the Hundred Devouring family.
The driver's intention was not on the female killer, but on the Hundred Devouring family's Honebami.
"We've arrived, passenger."
The driver stopped the car in front of a mansion.
Looking at the wall that was over 1.5 meters high, Hachiman couldn't help but marvel at the wealth of the Hundred Devouring family again. This was one of the most valuable areas in Chiba, and just one of the Hundred Devouring family's strongholds had such a large area.
He walked to the door and rang the bell.
Soon, a cold female voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"Hello, Honebami-san, I'm Hachiman Hikigaya."
"Please come in."
Pata!
After Hachiman introduced himself, he easily entered the mansion.
Hachiman naturally admired the scenery in the mansion, which included artificial hills, pavilions, and even a small lake...
"Just this one mansion, its value is probably more than my book royalties for several years." Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh.
In the distance, the main building of the mansion was a large, antique-style house.
Under the eaves, a white-haired woman with her hands behind her back stood proudly, her long legs, which were clad in high boots, were the most impressive Hachiman had ever seen. Honebami had an inexplicable charm.
Her cold, appraising gaze swept over Hachiman, and her entire aura was like a sharp sword, fierce and unstoppable.
If Momobami Kirari was a queen who was hard to distinguish between good and evil, who played with people's hearts and crushed their will, then the woman in front of him was a queen who would stop at nothing to torture and extract information from people's bodies.
A double threat, both mental and physical.
Hachiman felt a surge of pressure.
But he didn't show any weakness on his face, and calmly walked towards her.
"Hello, Honebami-san."
"Mr. Hachiman."
Unlike the clichéd scene in a third-rate novel where the main character's family butler challenges the protagonist, Honebami's attitude was relatively gentle when dealing with him.
She nodded slightly and extended her hand, which was wearing a black leather glove.
Hachiman was taken aback, but quickly reacted and shook her hand.
Their hands touched and then parted.
Honebami led Hachiman towards the interior of the mansion.
Suddenly, she asked, "Have you trained?"
During the handshake, Honebami had sensed that Hachiman's body was not as weak as it looked.
"Uh... I've done some simple exercises, but if you're talking about martial arts, no," Hachiman replied truthfully.
"Do you want to try it out later?"
Momobami Kirari had mentioned to Hachiman that the person in charge of capturing the killer was...
Honebami Miroslava.
"The Honebami family is a violent organization within the Hundred Devouring family that specializes in eliminating impurities. Everyone in the family is more skilled in interrogation, torture, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of firearms than the Jabami, which is responsible for gambling..."
Hachiman listened to Honebami's proposal and felt a spark of interest.
He also wanted to see how his well-exercised body would fare against Honebami, an expert in the field.
"I'd be delighted."
Honebami was slightly surprised by Hikigaya's decisiveness.
In her mind, she had a higher opinion of Hikigaya's masculinity. She had met many opponents who either didn't dare to fight her because she was from the Honebami family or underestimated her because she was a woman... someone like Hikigaya, who treated her as an equal, was rare.
Honebami led Hikigaya through the mansion.
After a while, they arrived at an underground door.
"We're here," Honebami said, pushing the door open with an expressionless face.
In Hikigaya's line of sight, rough ropes in a turtle-shell pattern bound the female killer tightly to a chair, accentuating the curves of her breasts.
The killer had a blindfold over her eyes and a gag ball in her mouth, and she struggled violently when she heard the door open.
However, with her hands and feet bound, her struggles were in vain.
"Did you get any information out of her?" Hikigaya asked, trying to sound calm.
"Some," Honebami replied, picking up a file from the interrogation table. "Due to the family head's orders to not shed blood, the information we obtained is limited."
"The target's codename is 'Thorn Princess ', from a famous killer organization in Europe."
