"State your name and confess to your crimes!"
What the.....!? where am I and why the hell am I tied to a chair?
There in front of me was a girl wearing a school unifrom that consist of a blazer, blouse, and a skirt that does not expose too much, and with light brown hair that reaches up to her waist.
She was grasping a katana as if she is readying for a fight or as a way to threathen someone.
"I said state your name and confess to your crime now!"
The woman yelled out annoyed
"Ma'am what crime am I being accused off."
"tch! do not play innocent on me.....hiyah!"
She began to approach me raising the katana over her head ready to slash me.
I struggle hard to break free of the bonds
"You are crazy! Help me! Someone!"
"No one can hear you here."
I yelled out a frustrated and gut wretching screech when.....
'Whoosh'
"Phew! I-I almost died"
"Grrrrrr!"
"Do not dodge this next one."
"The hell you saying to me!"
I managed to break free from my bonds at the same time her blade was brought to the ground.
Good thing I managed to dodge in time....the chair legs were the ones she slashed and cut instead of me.
"Why are you targetting me!"
I yelled out then she calmly answered
"In accordance with the organization I swear an oath to finish the job for this well renowed client."
"What?! you have gotta be kidding me! The organization from the rumors now."
The supposed organization she is talking about is a group of assassins whose goal is to bring peace and order through silent eliminations.
"Ragh! you are so loud!"
She stared daggers at me as she covered her ears with an annoyed expression on her.
She composed herself then aimed her sword at me.
"You must confess to the crime you commited."
"Hold on what crime now?"
"You are the man responsible for the bankrupcy of three subsidiaries under the Osaki group, kidnapping the employees, and lastly the most heinous crime you did which is..."
She took a breath and then was about to speak again
I gulped now....of course those were some big accusations but how could I have done all of....
".....stealing the CEO's most prized thing.....her precious cat....grrrrr....for the sake of that cat i will....."
"Why do you care about the cat more than the others!"
I angerly and disappointedly retorted
"Shut up now! that cat is more than some employees or humans for that..... it is probably shivering alone waiting for his owner to find her."
"What about those unemployeed employees or those who were kidnapped..."
"I do not care about them...."
She cut me off there
Is she serious now
"Look miss assassin I am not the one who did all of this."
"Liar!"
"No miss allow me to show you my ID."
"Grrr !....no excuses I shall...wait is this a....."
I showed her my idea which read
Fujisaki, Satou
Hanekawa High School
3rd Year
"The school id of hanekawa high school!...wait you are a high school student.....you look taller."
Yes that is my name Fujisaki Satou who was just going home from school when she captured me.
"Then why were you wearing a business suit?!"
Oh yeah I was still wearing....
"We were doing this men cosplay cafe where the men students wore fancy suits and serve customers...."
"So like a host club?"
"No!"
We continued to bicker on until she yelled out.
"Gragh! listen here I do not care about how you got the idea of host club by your childhood friend and mother.....for wasting my time you shall help me find this guy."
"What? me?! I did not do anything if anything you wasted all my time and efforts."
Suddenly now she emitted this dangerous aura as she glared at me.
"If you do not help me then I shall kill you."
I shuddered at that moment...oh yeah I nearly forgot she was a skilled assassin from all that unnesscary argument we did.
"So will you help me or not."
"Fine damn it. I will! I will! So stop slowly coming at me with your sword and knives now."
I made a loud sigh in the end she let me go but not forgetting to exchange contact info with me
"why did you do this miss assassin."
"this is so I could get in contact with you and do not call me miss assassin....call me Eri...."
"Eri huh okay."
"What!? you think my name is bad."
"what no!....and wait hold on! is that actually your real name? why are you suddenly revealing that to me?....do you trust me so much now just because we met only once?"
"Shut up you....you....you!....."
That happened this afternoon and now I was at home studying for my midterms.
Over the course of a month we began to search for clues together while keeping the fact that her cover was blown because as she said the day after that supposed kidnapping she is never meant to make any errors in these types of missions
Eventually after a few months of us walking around and searching for clues we stumble on someone.
Eri having spotted something pointed at someone and said to me with an expression as if she found something she lost.
"Hey look that girl over there."
The woman she pointed at was wearing an office lady clothing with a pony tail, and glasses walking with her bag all nervous looking.
Eri then pulled something out of her bag that she was carrying as we were walking around.
"Says here that she is Shiori Mai the secretary of the Osaki coporation, she likes to go to cat cafes in her off time, is known to be hardworking, and very introverted."
"What is that her file?"
"Yep!"
She seems to have been fully prepared with all that information of each employee of the Osaki group.
For the past few months of us looking around for clues and finding a lead to this case I noticed that she is very hardworking and good at her job and yet...she made that one slip up when we first met.
Eri then went up to her and both of them happily talked for a few minutes, as they talked I noticed some guys or rather they were women.
They looked like guys.....I would have kept on mistaking it if not for their posture.....what type of guy crosses their legs so casually, and closed their legs together too much as one sits or stands.
Now this may seem like bias or perhaps I am wrong but to me it feels uncomfortable for me to do that as a guy because well it felt weird to me.
Eri and this Mai girl kept talking and the women dressed up as men were talking on their phones blending in.
I am technically not sure if they are suspicious because they could be just normal girls who anyone can mistake as guys and who says girls are not allowed to wear that type of clothing.
My main reason for suspecting them was not just their clothing but the obvious hints they are showing.
I wonder if they are trained profressionals.....well I can not let my guard down.
The group of women then went off somewhere else....that was well very intriguing and interesting to say the least.
"Hey what are you looking at?"
"Huh? ohhhh! Eri... so how did it...."
"Shhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!"
She put her hand on my hand in an instant as she then pulled some type of phantom thief mask from her bag and instantly put it on my face.
"What the heck is this for?!"
"Shut up and just call yourself The Phantom Thief!"
"Wow next you are going to tell me to pull out a persona..."
"Shut it! and... wait! what is a persona?"
The secretary named Shiori then approached us.
"So agent number 26 who is this kid now."
"He is my partner.....the.....Glamorous Phantom Thief"
"Ohhhh okay then I guess so how do you know this guy."
I watched them interact trying to keep a straight face because it is an interesting thing to have a girl call you a glamorous phantom thief and well it is funny to watch this unserious interaction that if I mess up I might start laughing my ass off.
"Excuse me for a moment miss Mai."
Eri then went up to my ear and whispered.
"Fujisaki you better play along or else....."
I could spot a hidden knife on her cloak actually I did not noticed her change to a uniform belonging to that organisation with a long skirt, black blouse with red outlines, and a cloak to hide their hair as well as a mask to hide her eyes but not her mouth just like my mask.
"Okay calm down now agent 25."
"Okay glad to be on the same page as you mr. phantom thief."
I could not see her mask but I could tell she was glaring at me with a scary and menacing expression.....so yeah she was smiling at me.....wow.
