The morning sun felt incredibly warm, and the girl curled up in a ball couldn't help but open her eyes in a daze. When she saw her mother's face, she couldn't help but want to sleep a little longer...
"Mommy!!"
The girl's shout instantly woke up Ryōko Fueguchi, who was a light sleeper. Her first reaction was that the man had done something to her daughter, but when she saw her daughter's intact clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness...
"Mommy! You... where are your clothes?!"
Before she could fully relax, her daughter's slightly trembling voice made Ryōko Fueguchi freeze. Last night, because she saw the look of fear on her daughter's face in her dream, she subconsciously hugged her. Later, she fell asleep in a daze. At that time, she was only wrapped in a towel, and after sleeping all night, the towel that was barely covering her body had naturally fallen off long ago.
It must be said that Japanese education in certain areas was too advanced. While Ryōko Fueguchi was only shy about being naked in front of her daughter, Hinami Fueguchi's face changed drastically, and she instantly had a bad guess.
"Bastard!!"
"Hinami!!"
Seeing her daughter rush out of the room, Ryōko Fueguchi reflexively tried to grab her daughter, but because of the inhibitor injected into her body, she fell back down as soon as she got up. And Ryōko Fueguchi's movement made Hinami Fueguchi, who turned around reflexively after hearing her mother's voice, burst into tears!
That bastard! How dare he do that to her mother!!
And at this moment, Lancer, who had come out of the modified study after hearing the commotion in the room, happened to run into Hinami Fueguchi.
"Are you awake? Where's your mother?"
Seeing Lancer, who was only wearing a shirt and was sweating all over and panting (he had just finished training), look at her with a perverted smile (her subjective thought) as he walked out of the room, she immediately rushed at Lancer, and at the same time, her eyes turned into red 'kakugan.'
"I'll kill you!!"
Looking at the furious Hinami Fueguchi rushing at him, Lancer couldn't help but frown.
Did she think he was the one who killed her father?
But no matter what the other party's reason was, Lancer, who didn't want to die, unhesitatingly grabbed Hinami Fueguchi's wrists with both hands and used his weight to push her down.
"Bang~!"
There was no doubt that Lancer strongest skill was his spearmanship, but as a CCG investigator, he had also received basic unarmed combat training, and although Hinami Fueguchi was a ghoul, the inhibitor injected into her body made her strength not much greater than that of a normal woman.
Although she was just a child, looking at the man on top of her, Hinami Fueguchi's eyes, like burning flames, stared straight at Lancer. Looking at her expression, it seemed as if she wanted to eat Lancer alive.
"I won't let you get away with this!"
"Bang!!"
At this moment, with a strange sound, the door to Lancer room was opened. Koutarou Amon, holding a handgun, and several other CCG investigators rushed in.
"Lancer?! Are you okay... Uh... Is this a bad time for me to be here?"
Just in case, the doors of the CCG investigator dorms all had an 'emergency opening' mode, but it was rarely used because it was for emergencies. If you used it for no reason, it would be fine if it was your own door; at most, you would have to pay some money and write a report, but if it was someone else's door... that would be making an enemy.
But Koutarou Amon, who received the order from his 'superior,' knew that there were two ghouls in Lancer room. Fearing that Lancer would get hurt, he unhesitatingly used the 'emergency opening' device after hearing the thud and the words 'eat you.'
But what he didn't expect was that when he opened the door, he saw Lancer, who was naked from the waist up (his shirt was torn), sweating all over and panting (he had just finished training), holding a girl's wrists and also using his legs to pin her thighs. No matter how you looked at it, this was a crime scene, right?
If it weren't for the little girl's blood-red kakugan explaining her identity, everyone present would have probably unhesitatingly cuffed Lancer, right?
And this wasn't the end.
"Hinami! Wait! It's not what you think!"
Along with a female voice, a smooth arm stretched out from Lancer bedroom. Although only the arm and the other party's shoulder could be seen, these parts were not covered at all. It seemed that their owner was either not wearing anything or was wearing very little.
Suddenly, everyone present fell silent.
Hinami was silent because of her mother's words; Koutarou Amon and the other investigators at the door were silent because of what they had imagined; as for Lancer? His mind was full of 'I'm screwed, how do I explain this?'
Lancer wasn't stupid. He could probably guess what the silent 'colleagues' were thinking in their minds by looking at the situation in the room. After all, last night, while he was practicing with his spear, he was almost trying to drive similar images out of his mind, but he never expected that they would coincidentally come true in the end. It was just a shame that the plot's development was completely different from his fantasies. Not only was there no tangible substance, but there were also several onlookers.
"Cough cough~! Second-Class Investigator Lancer still has things to deal with. Let's wait for him for a while."
After saying that, Koutarou Amon grabbed the doorknob and closed it.
It looks like I'm dead (socially)!
No! I still have to try! Maybe I can still be saved!
Lancer, who opened the door right after Koutarou Amon, grabbed the other's shoulders.
"Amon! Listen to me..."
"Cough cough~! Lancer, don't worry, I didn't see anything. You should hurry up and deal with it. Is 10 minutes enough? Mr. Mado is still waiting for us. Oh, right, put this on the two ghouls. It's a 'detonation collar' made by the research department."
Looking at the collar-like object in his hand, Lancer felt that the gazes of the other investigators behind Koutarou Amon were getting more and more piercing. He was about to explain something, but Koutarou Amon shook his head.
"Cough cough~! Time is of the essence. I'll help you explain to the other investigators. You go get dressed first..."
After saying that, Koutarou Amon pushed Lancer back into the room with a 'gentle' expression and closed the door for him.
"Click~!"
Along with the sound of the door lock, Lancer also heard the voice outside the door.
'Everyone, I think what happened today 'should' be an accident. I hope that for the reputation of our CCG, you won't spread this around...'
I'm done for. This time, I'm completely dead (socially)!
I can't wash away this stain even if I jump into the Yellow River!
Amon!
You bastard, you've screwed me over!
