-Yes Richard Stephan and Dusk replied at the same time, in a serious way.
-Enma, stay covering us from afar, with eyes on everyone I ordered pointing to her we don t know if he has anyone watching or cams nearby, and we don t want to blow your disguise so soon yet that is why hide yourself with mastery, as I know you are capable of!
-Yes Richard! Enma nodded and quickly disappeared from our sight.
-Now you Andrade come with me, but stay away at my left so they will have their attention divided between us both, giving us more chances to react in case it may be really needed.
-Yes! Andrade also nodded.
We ran toward the entrance of my propriety and as soon as we were in the front yard, we saw the completely wounded figure of a being, as there were blood stains on its clothes and face, it had one of those really old radios, that were able to just play radio stations and cassettes, stuck on its chest level, it was a nekomimi and a probably female, she didn t seem older than sixteen years old on her left paw was the slave s mark what this poor being could want? I also noticed she was holding a small paper that was when I had a brilliant idea, I took my communicator and called the punishment trunk place, and after some time Stephan answered it, to which I ordered:
-Stephan, quick! Press the button Security Cams Monitoring in the desktop doing the search for Rika s DNA I continued walking towards the slave, almost near her already I want you to show her what will happen here!
-Yes! Leave it to me! Stephan replied, hanging up in sequence.
-Who are you and what do you want? I asked the slave, that was shaking and all she did was to slowly and painfully press one of the buttons on that radio, then a cassette tape began playing, with a distorted and unrecognizable voice:
Montecchio Richard, you know very well what I have got in my possession isn t it right? Your childhood friend which you always had feelings for the bride of the other noble that is investigating with you and the small personal caretaker with this small body, hmmmm I think it might be something really delicious should I taste it? I saw everything going black at that time, the mere possibility of Akira being molested made me go blind from rage and for a matter of luck I didn t attack the slave and the radio, just not doing it because he continued in sequence if you need proof they are still alive, there you go *Rick! Help! Save us!* said Dawn s voice Richard they got me as well forgive me Yumi s voice DEAAAAR! HEEELP! I DON T WANT TO BE AWAY FROM YOU! said Akira.
if you do not wish something to happen with the girls, come to the address that is written on the paper that is being held by the slave that has this device, take it now, you have seven seconds I don t know why I did that, but instinctively I ran, took the note and placed myself away once again don t worry, you won t find that in any map or GPS, just one hour prior to the time you should be here is that one of my slaves will call you and tell where that would be, I just warn you that in case I detect anyone else aside you all of them die even before you arrive to this place understood? Good because this message will self-destruct in five seconds .
Richard! Enma exclaimed through the communicator inside my ear get away from her! We don t know how he is going to do that! ; all that I did was to run as much as I could, without stopping looking behind, I saw a lonely tear flow through her face and pass beside a relief smile; then, something is heard that resembles a small crack sound and instantly the nekomimi s chest and belly are wet, radio included; then I saw a white smoke followed by the sound of something frying, followed by a guttural roar coming from the poor s thing mouth, showing a quick corrosion of her clothes, skin and meat and, moments later, all her bowels falling to the ground together with the dull sound of her immobile body hitting the hard ground, looking at me with those glazed lifeless eyes.
I knew this was a war, I knew very well that this was part of a very vicious mind s plan however I couldn t help but feel nauseous when I saw the end of that poor slave, with a lot of effort I managed to hold in the urge to puke, now Andrade wasn t that strong, vomiting all the contents of his stomach right there, some moments passed until Enma said something on the communicator:
-My Saint Meow Richard this noble Silva is dangerous I saw plenty of stuff in my life and just people that are really evil would get this far even if it was just a slave -You are right Enma, let s go back to the room I can t stand this smell of meat being dissolved I then looked at the Andrade you come as soon as you are feeling better.
-Yes... Richard I shall go soon he replied puking once again.
We headed towards the punishment trunk once again, I was really wanting to just torture Rika as much as was possible just to find out soon what we needed; however as soon as Enma reached me, she placed her paw on my shoulder and all she said was allow me to take care of that winking to me in sequence and entering the door next, kneeing before Rika she said:
-Rika I am sure you saw what happened to that slave she then pointed to the computer screen, before her eyes that shown disbelief Silva will do anything that is needed in his obstinacy to get what he wants to I saw a lot of horrible things in my tortuous life but him borders the worst I dealt with little one help us because I am sure that he is the kind of person that would use you as well if needed -I I can t believe it - replied Rika, whose tears contradicted her reply she was his second favorite just losing to me how could him?
-Second favorite? asked Enma, with a face that seemed like she found the opening she needed are you telling me that that girl was one of Silva s lovers just like you? to what all Rika answered was with a nod could you please tell me her age?
-S She was sixteen years old - Rika then began weeping quietly, continuing how could he she was like an older sister to me -Rika - Enma apparently pitied her, seeing she hugged her against her chest I know exactly how you feel io suffered so much at that age I lost so many people I liked -R Really Enma-sama? Rika asked with eyes that were a mixture of incredulity and astonishment I know you are not Montecchio s niece that you are a murderer it must be something really painful but I admit that it doesn t look like it -That s because accessories are made exactly to hide the imperfections Rika-chan Enma then stood up, turning her back to me and all the other present.
The scene that followed was something I never imagined in my life, she then took out her Richard s niece t-shirt that she was using, followed by her bra; the vision that was revealed before me was shocking, there were a lot of scars on her back, most of them from cutting, there was one that really made my eyes fixate on it that crossed all her left side, from near her shoulder until almost the beginning of her buttocks; when I noticed that details I could have sworn that I heard someone saying Anything but her! For the love of Saint Meow nooooooooooo and an excruciating pain raced inside my being, I came back to myself when Enma quickly dressed herself and looked at again Rika very near, saying:
-See? I know exactly how you feel she smiled then that is why trust me -I understand Enma-sama but I cannot - she replied looking to the opposite direction from Enma.
-Look - I was saying, almost losing my temper, when the computer let out a small Beep sound and finally found what we were looking for great, the search results are here! I announced, clicking on the link, making Rika get pale oh! You real name is Tsuchimi Rita! you are fifteen years old, and is considered disappeared for four years -Y Yes that is me - replied Rita, showing dismayed face, as if she had been defeated.
-Then - I looked at her and asked we already know who you are help me for Saint s Meow love before that person calls me to tell me where I should go to that meeting -Regarding the person that was supposed to call you that one was me - she then looked again to the ground but I cannot say what I know because he said I was in danger against you -Rita! You must know very well who the enemy here is! I pointed to the screen look what he did to his second favorite! Why do you think with you will it be any different? You know that whenever one of his slaves or lovers reach sixteen years of age, they either suffer accidents and die or simply disappear?
-Y Yes but with me it shall be different - she looked down sorry I cannot help you -Rita! What are you hiding from us? I was almost wanting to murder her, as I was thinking on Akira s well-being after all, when I noticed something on her profile on screen, what made me extremely curious, I knew I just had found something very good but I think I just found out what you try to hide at any cost would it be a four years old daughter?
-H HOW COULD YOU? shouted Rita at the same instant, eyes wide open, getting even more pale how did you find out?
-Simple Rita I pointed to the screen here shows a labor entry made by you, I looked at which hospital it was made, the same as Silva s what made me think I looked then at the sky why would Silva bother to bring one of his lovers, even if she was a free one, to the same hospital where all his family have been treated on since last century?
-It really doesn t make any sense Enma commented, following my line of thought unless we are talking about a kid?
-A daughter to be quite exact I pointed again to the computer screen the rest was actually easy, I just looked for Silva s DNA, which I had access not so long ago, then I mixed with yours Rita and guess what? The name Silva Daisy , four years old showed up on-screen! I neared Rita then what do you tell me about all this?
-I w w w was found out - Rita broke out a cold sweat, looking at the computer s screen i it isn t possible I did everything and now you will kill us both -Kill? I asked, completely astonished even though I really want to strangle you now personally for the trouble you gave us I don t intend to, in no way shape or form, any ill will towards you and your daughter -What do you mean? Rita asked, visibly confused didn t you captured me as you wanted to blackmail Silva so as him to confess he was at fault for the murder attempts?
-Not at all! I pointed to the screen again you saw what he did with someone he liked without even a second thought! I just want to get back my workers, to who I like quite a lot!
-Workers? asked Rita without understand, tilting her head you mean your slaves?
-Yes, exactly them I nodded but I don t like calling them like that, to me slaves are equal to me as you are - I noticed then that Enma was already at the computer.
-Rita - the kitsunemimi then pointed to the computer screen I believe that dealing with the noble Silva, you might have already heard about a district in Verona known as Virgin s Paradise ?
-N No - Rita replied finding the question weird, looking to Enma why?
-That was easy; according to the registries of the royal census she then pointed to the numbers in the report she is registered there, in a special school for children of the female gender the very same one where I earned the biggest scar on my back -W WHAT DO YOU MEAN ENMA? Rita asked exasperated.
-Well, putting it simple I did some search in my tracking systems right now - she then typed some words on the keyboard first I found it weird that in Daisy s registries the field mom was showing deceased , second I also noticed that Silva gave some very specific instructions towards her training , something to do with fetish and incest and, lastly, I got to know she is being educated to be a complete sexual slave of Master Silva .
-M My Saint Meow - how could that maggot? I thought while I tried to talk, as this was way viler than I could expect from him, making my stomach get really upset Rita please tell us what you know at this instant!
-H Him sexual s s slave?... but he said he loved her that he would take care of her - Rita murmured, as if she wasn t there anymore.
-Rita - I gently placed my hands on her shaking shoulders, because I knew she was in shock if you help us with what you may know I assure you that with a couple of calls I bring Daisy to you -W Would you do that? Rita then looked at me with lifeless eyes promised for the little nekomimi whom the informant said being so special to you Akira?
-I promise for her and my sacred family name I replied placing my right hand over my chest.
-A Alright - Rita said, recovering a little of her face s colors and life in her eyes then I shall tell everything I know
