chapter 30

For the last summer vacation day, since I finished my homework yesterday, Roll and I promised to go for shopping (have a date) in the shopping district .

The meeting place is the usual café . I was dressed in better clothes than normally, as I walked towards this place .

These clothes are my favorite . Rin always said that they looked out of fashion, but you can’t really trust her taste .

‘Sorry . Come to my room please . A troublesome person is here . ’

A troublesome person is here?

What does she mean? Don’t tell me Getsuri-san came back or something!? 1

If that’s the case, then it truly is troublesome…… . Well, I’ll know once I get there .

I put my phone back in my pocket, then I descended to the basement and walked towards Roll’s room .

Once I arrived at her room, I saw that, excepting Roll, there was another girl there .

Roll’s room was terribly disordered, and you could see traces of a battle .

The table fell to the side, the bed was upside-down, and there were now a few holes in the wall .

I moved my eyes to look down at the unknown girl who seemed to have battled Roll .

She has brown hair kept in two pony tails and…… . Roll pinned her down to the floor and keeps her there by the arm .

“I’ll introduce her to you, Shion . She’s Destroy-chan . ”

Roll pressed down the girl’s head as she said this .

“Destroy…… . chan?”

“Right . Everyone calls her Desuko 2 though . ”

She has such a striking name, and I bet she got it from the Boss .

Which reminds me that I actually saw a ‘Destroy-chan’ in my contact addresses when I first checked my work phone .

Since she was registered as ‘Destroy-chan’ and not simply ‘Destroy’, I remember it catching my attention .

Even though I joined the organization more than two months ago, there are still many, many people I haven’t met yet . Most of these people don’t match their names at all .

“And so, what are you two’s circumstances?”

“Look at us and you’ll get it . I am pinning her down . ”

Destroy-chan was held down by Roll and she was letting out some painful moans .

“No, no, no, I definitely can’t take in the situation . ”

I said, and suddenly, Destroy-chan escaped Roll’s grip rather smoothly and jumped in my direction .

“Shion-kun, save me! Roll is bullying me!”

However, before I could touch her, Roll caught her again and bent her down on the floor .

“You don’t move . ”

“It hurts!”

With her small physique and her childish face, Destroy-chan was definitely younger than us .

And since Roll doesn’t show any sign of mercy towards this little girl, I can guess that she’s quite the problem child .

“Urrrm, and why is Destroy-chan in your room then, Roll?”

“She selfishly entered my room then started acting violently . Besides, she just returned to the headquarters this morning . ”

“Is that so?”

Does that mean she came back from a branch office? Or maybe she returned from a long-time mission?

“Even though I said she came back, Desuko was actually taken captive by the mafia, so she didn’t actually work . ”

“Yes?”

“Due to the fact that Desuko picks fights at many levels, she’s often abducted . Her life is often targeted as well . ”

Roll bound both of Destroy-chan’s hands at her back as she said this .

“Well, she always comes back, and because she kind of has something like an insurance, no one goes to rescue her . ”

“This is rather cruel . ”

With both hands and feet bound, and rope rolled around her entire body, Destroy-chan looked really funny .

She was like a caterpillar with her twin tails looking like antennas .

I asked myself whether it was really necessary to restrain her to such an extent, but Roll didn’t seem satisfied enough and attached a piece of tape on Destroy-chan’s mouth as well .

“Mugu… . . !”

“Wai, Roll…… . You’re overdoing it……”

“I am not .

I’ll let you know beforehand . Desko’s ability is called ‘Mind Read’, and if I am to put it in simple terms, she can read the minds of the people around her .

She has many conditions to fulfill first, but her ability is way too depressing . Letting her speak would never amount to anything good . ”

As she explained, Roll placed Destroy-chan in a push car she picked out from one corner of the room .

“Humph”

A mind reading ability……Are there people with such strong abilities too?

It truly is a troublesome ability . Besides, if she can read minds, this means that she knows all the important information about the organization .

Is it really all right for such a girl to be abducted? Her existence itself is kind of troublesome .

“Even thought she looks like this, she’s one of the organization’s executive staffs . Besides, she’s Tameiki-san’s partner .

Also, as for her age…… . ”

When Roll was about to say this, Destroy-chan suddenly rolled out of the push car so fast that eyes couldn’t follow her .

She rolled towards a wall and slammed into it, and the rope binding her loosened quickly as if it had a mind of its own .

Roll already started to move in order to catch Destroy-chan, but the girl quickly took off the tape on her mouth and stopped Roll right away .

“Stop!”

“Da-damn it……!”

Roll immediately stopped in place, like her body was suddenly paralyzed .

Destroy-chan approached Roll slowly and crawled her hand on Roll’s hip .

Then, with a truly satisfied expression on her face, Destroy-chan moved her fingers excitedly .

What’s that…… . Wasn’t her ability about reading people’s minds?

Can she also interfere with people’s hearts and control their sensations……?

That’s terrible .

“For letting your guard down, you still have many openings in your heart, Roll .

Besides, my age is a secret, isn’t it?

Do you want to repeat the peeing incident?”

“Hey, that story is……!”

“Shion-kun, listen to this! It’s a past story about Roll…… . . ”

“Aaaaaaaaaah! Forgive me, forgive me! It was my fault, all right!”

I could only watch their exchange in blank amazement .

Leaving this aside, Destroy-chan…… . . urm, Destroy-san is really Tameiki-san’s partner? She actually had one!

…… . . They don’t go well together though .

Moreover, Destroy-san is an executive member .

I didn’t think she was such an impressive person since Roll’s attitude towards Destroy-san wasn’t quite respectful .

But looking at Roll’s docility right now, Destroy-san does have the abilities of an executive .

“Non non . You’re wrong, Roll .

When you apologize, you must say ‘Forgive me-nyan’ . I taught you this time and time again . ”

“Ku, this is…… . ”

“Come now, hurry . Where’s my ‘Forgive me-nyan’?”

“Th-that’s…… . ”

This exchange caught my attention . What’s with this advantageous development for me!?

Roll’s ‘Forgive me-nyan’…… . I really, really want to see it happen .

“Shion-kun wants to see it too, right?”

“I do . ”

“See?”

“Shion, you…… . ”

“If you don’t say it quickly, I’ll tell Shion all sorts of things, a mixture of facts and fiction, you know?”

Hey, a mixture of facts and fiction?……

“For-forgive me-nyan……”

“Ooh……!”

Feeling extremely shy, Roll said it nonetheless, and I unintentionally let out a surprised cry .

Still, Destroy-san frowned .

Was she unhappy about something?

“Where are your ears and tail? Do it again . ”

“Leave me the hell a………!”

“Shion-kun, you know, Roll truly did…… . ”

Before Destroy-san could finish her sentence, cat ears bounced up on Roll’s head .

“Fufufu, good girl, Roll . ”

Destroy-san said and stretched herself to pet Roll’s cat ears .

Roll tried averting her red face, but since she couldn’t move, she bit her lip .

“Shion-kun, do you want to touch her too?”

“………”

This is bad . I really want to touch her ears . But if I do it now, she’ll definitely get mad at me later .

Hold back . Hold back, me .

“…… . . I’ll pass . ”

“Eeh, it’s such a waste . They feel incredibly good at touch .

Good . Now Roll, try saying ‘Forgive me-nyan’ once again . ”

Destroy-san turn around to face Roll and said .

I gulped and looked at Roll attentively .

Roll hesitated for a bit, but, before long, she murmured it as if to ready herself .

“For-forgive me-nyan…… . ”

Hearing this, Destroy-san’s face broke into a large smile, she embraced Roll and rubbed her face against Roll’s .

“Roll truly is the cutest! Shion-kun, you think so as well, right?”

“She really is cute . ”

“Shion…… . !”

Damn it . She’s angry .

Roll glared at me and, as I got cold feet, I shut my mouth in an instant .

“Shion-kun, Roll is just pretending to be angry, but, the truth is, she’s extremely happy about what you said! She’s just hiding her embarrassment . ”

Destroy-san grinned as she peeked into Roll’s face .

“Desuko, this is enough…… . . I give up, all right? I give up…… Release your restriction already…… . ”

“Nope . After all, if I release you now, you’ll definitely hit me .

Besides, you’ll soon be able to break off by yourself, so I have to run before you break my arm or something . ”

“……… . ”

Roll glared at Destroy-san with a sharp look, and clenched her teeth .

She was forced to taste humiliation, but for me it was a lucky incident .

Leaving this aside, being able to restrain Roll for such a long time, Destroy-san’s ability is way too terrible…… .

Still, it feels kind of reassuring knowing that this person is an ally .

“I’d really like to enjoy Roll a little longer, but I should take my leave .

Then, Shion-kun, see you later…… . Hm?”

Destroy-san looked at my face and waved her hand . It seems that something caught her attention, since she approached me and peeked into my eyes .

“…… . I see . ”

What is it?

Don’t tell me she’s reading my mind…… . It’s quite impolite to just go around and read people’s minds all of a sudden . It doesn’t feel too pleasant .

“Good, I can’t see anything .

You don’t open your heart to people you meet for the first time . This is good, very good . ”

Destroy-san said, petted my head and then left Roll’s room .

I gapped as I looked at the opened door . Roll, who started to move again, rushed out of the room without saying a word and started pursuing Destroy-san .

I was left behind in Roll’s room .

What about our shopping time (date)…… . ?
