Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 9: Kyoka no rikuesuto

About a few minutes later, Karin went inside Yukihime's office after seeing Makabe and Ameya leaving, and she blinked her eyes seeing the two men sporting apprehensive looks as they hurriedly leave the office, and this made Karin wonder if Shishido did something foolish for no reason, and there the Saintess of Steel went inside the office and greeted the UQ Holder founder.

As Yukihime nodded in response, Karin went to the point and asked permission if she can take a day-off, and explained the reason why, and the UQ Holder founder immediately realize the reason, and felt that this would be a good way for Karin to unwind after what the invisible pervert did to the Saintess of Steel.

"I see."

"…"

"Okay, Karin. Permission granted."

"Huh?"

"You can take the day off. You and Touta can go to the convention."

"Eh…? Really…?"

"Yes."

"…"

Karin was quite surprised that Yukihime readily accepted the request as she tells Karin to take the chance and go with Touta to the pastry convention, assuring her that things will be okay here, which Karin asked Yukihime if she is sure about this, worried that the invisible pervert might show up and cause trouble for everyone here within Fairyland Hall.

Yukihime smiled and told Karin not to worry and said that she is in the midst of coming up with a way to apprehend the invisible pervert should he decide to come here again and attempt to harass the girls, which made Karin accept, though reluctantly.

"You don't have to worry. Everything will be okay."

"Really…?"

"Yes."

"But…what if…?"

"I got it covered. We already made some contingency plans. You should plan out your outing with Touta."

"I…see."

"Good. You should prepare."

"Very well."

After that, Karin left, and there Yukihime thought carefully as there is no telling when the invisible pervert would strike next, and hoped that he is unaware of the fact that Karin would take a day-off just to go at a pastry convention with Touta, as the last thing the UQ Holder founder wanted is for the invisible pervert to ruin Karin's day, and there Yukihime left her office to talk to Shinobu about the contingency plans that she has been working on.

Much later, Shinobu, Mizore and Kirie are inside Shinobu's workshop where Yukihime informed the girls of what she is planning to do, and the three girls nodded in agreement, seeing that this is needed as Karin needs to unwind after what happened recently and that the invisible pervert must be caught no matter what, as aside from giving Karin a peace of mind, it would also mean that it would give female vacationers a sense of security.

"…and that's what we're going to do. So you girls need to be ready for anything."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"So are we in agreement?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

Moreover, Yukihime told the three girls to be careful as well, saying that the invisible pervert might target them if Shinobu, Kirie and Mizore attracted his perverted attention, which the three girls nodded in acknowledgement, saying that they would be careful and not venture out of Fairyland Hall unnecessarily.

"Then do be careful. The pervert might strike when least expected."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"So are we clear on this?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

After that, Yukihime nodded before leaving, and Shinobu began working on making devices that would help in detecting the invisible pervert, just as Kirie and Mizore wonder if Touta is being sincere in wanting to help Karin or if he is planning to make a pass at her, which Shinobu said that Touta isn't like that.

"Come on…Touta isn't like that."

"Huh?"

"Really?"

"Yeah. He's doing this to help Karin-senpai."

"I doubt that incompetent could do that…"

"Same here…"

"Come on…give Touta a chance…"

"Fine."

"Fine."

Saturday.

The scene shifts at the gates of Fairyland Hall, where Karin is waiting, as she is seen wearing a sleeveless blouse, a spreadable mini-skirt, and a pair of sneakers. She was alluring to look and yet she felt a bit apprehensive as this was her first time going out with a boy. She wondered what would happen next during the pastry convention and once the convention ends, and she took a deep breath to remove her nervousness.

By then Touta arrived and blushed at seeing her appearance, and there he confidently complimented her looks, causing her to blush and sighed, telling him not to make her feel conscious, prompting him to apologize, yet she said it is okay.

"Uh, Karin-senpai…"

"Yes…?"

"You looked…cute."

"R-really…?"

"Yeah…"

"Uh…thanks. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready. Then let's go."

"Right."

After that, the two teens took their leave, as they head off for the pastry convention, while the gates of Fairyland Hall is unmanned as most of the henchmen of Yukihime are patrolling the inside of Fairyland Hall at this time.

A few minutes later, Kuromaru and Santa quietly approached the rooms of Fairyland Hall and looked around, and confirmed that the rooms are empty as there are no one else around, and there Kuromaru tells Yukihime via smartphone that the coast is clear, and that all they need now is to make sure that they sneak inside and head to Karin's room and install the hidden camera so that they can monitor and catch the serial pervert in the act and try apprehending him.

After a few more minutes of surveillance, Kuromaru and Santa were joined by Makabe and Ameya and they sneaked inside Karin's room and carefully searched the room and SECRETLY installed a CCTV camera and had Ameya install it in a hidden area where they can do a surveillance and find out if the invisible pervert comes here and attempt to moleste Karin again.

There the four UQ Holder members finished installing the camera and told Yukihime via smartphone that it is done, and the four members are ready to leave at once before deciding to look around one more time just in case.

"It's done!"

"The CCTV's been installed?"

"Yup!"

"Good. Let's get going."

"Right!"

"Come on."

"…"

"…"

After that, the four UQ Holder members sneaked their way out, and narrowly avoided some passing guests as they are being led to a guest room, and once the coast is clear, they got out and are heading back to the lobby area of Fairyland Hall, where Yukihime is waiting, which a discussion is held about what to do next.

Now Yukihime said to the four UQ Holder members that they would need someone to stay up for tonight to see if the pervert would sneak his way here and makes another attempt on Karin, which requires a bit of sacrifice.

Kuromaru suggests Ameya since he has cybernetic implants, and he can sometimes stay up late, which Yukihime is considering the idea, though she tells Kuromaru that they would have to discuss this with Ameya just to be sure.

"Hmm…"

"What do you say, Yukihime?"

"Well…"

"…"

"Let's ask Ameya first before we decide."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

The UQ Holder members then head to Yukihime's office as they discussed about what to do in the event that the pervert is sighted tonight, and this would help in solving the molesting cases that involves teenage girls.

Several minutes later, the scene shifts at the convention center where the pastry convention is held, and it was full of people, and as Touta looked around, he is wondering if he could get a seat for himself and Karin, while Karin mentally looked back and wondered if she should cancel their date, as she possibly believe that the serial pervert might make his strike anywhere assuming that she is being targeted.

Moreover, she realized that this is the first time that she and Karin came to a place alone outside of their duties, and blushed as she wondered if this is a form of romantic date, and wondered if she has any feelings for Touta.

By then he tells her that he will find seats for them which she nodded.

"Karin-senpai...wait here."

"Huh?"

"I'll find some seats."

"..."

"Then we can reserve one."

"Okay."

"Be back in a while."

"..."

After that, Touta went to look for seats for himself and Karin, and she looked around to see if she could find something that would keep her busy. She can see a lot of people and flocking and this made her wonder if she did the right thing in coming along with him here as she just wanted to unwind after what she went through recently.

By then Touta came, telling her that he secured some seats for them and she asked him if he is okay, which he nodded, saying that he is glad to be here and thanked Karin for coming along, as this was the first time coming in this kind of convention, where he would get to see lots of pastry products, which made her blush and tells him that it is okay.

"I owe it all to you, Karin-senpai…though I hope this would help you get over what happened recently…"

"Eh...? Well…it's nothing…"

"I appreciate it a lot."

"R-really...?"

"Yeah. And after this, I'll help you find this serial pervert.."

"..."

"So you should enjoy this day, Karin-senpai."

"..."
