Part one of the finale of Miku's arc is here!
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Date a Live.
Shido's POV:
I'm now on the promised date with Miku. After the chaos from yesterday, going on a date like this is a great way to relax.
Gotta say, though, Miku really is quite the stunning eye-catcher, and she knows that quite well. As she is now, Miku just exudes confidence, and has the figure to back it up. After having sex with Yoshino yesterday, I can't help but find myself more appreciative of the female figure. From Yoshino's petite, doll-like beauty to Tohka generous curves. I think I understand now why the boys at my school are jealous of me.
Even Miku, who used to wear a large jacket, even in the warm summer weather, for the purpose of making herself seem small, has forgone that, allowing her true figure to show with the purple dress and pink blouse she's wearing now. And really, all I can say is 'Damn'.
"Ah! Look!" Miku calls out, pointing towards a food stall. "They're selling crepes over there! Let's get some, Darling!"
"Darling?" I repeat. I'm used to nicknames at this point. I've been called 'Servant' by Kaguya, 'Casanova' by Hanakai-sensei, and Reine even calls me 'Shin', which I've accepted as a nickname. But, 'Darling' is a new one.
"Mhm." Miku nods with a smile. "You're my Darling."
... Very well, then.
The two of us order our crepes and sit on a bench by the fountain. These crepes ae actually quite nice, and the man running the stall isn't part of Ratatoskr. Guess I'm too used to them taking over every food stall or game corner.
I can see Miku enjoying her crepe in the corner of my eye. Has it really been that long since she last got to eat one so eagerly?
I take another bite of my crepe and look back at Miku again, noticing a small bit of cream on her cheek. Isn't this the cliché food on the cheek scenario? I remember this from that 'training program' during my first days since joining. But judging from the subtle smirk on her face, Miku very much intended it.
Is she doing this to see how I would react? Guess I'll have to play it by the book.
"Miku," I speak up. "You have some cream on you."
"Do I~?" Miku asks. Oh yeah. That tone of voice means she absolutely intended it. "Darling, do you think you cold get it for me~?"
So, this is her game. She wants to see how I would react? Well, normally I would feel shy about this scenario, but I'm feeling quite bold today. I lean forward and lick the cream off Miku's cheek, the blush on her cheeks showing her surprise.
"My, Darling. That was bold of you~" She manages to play it off.
I chuckle and take another bite of my crepe, but then the next moment, I feel Miku's tongue on my cheek, catching me off-guard. "M-Miku?"
"You had some cream on your cheek, so I decided to return the favor." Miku giggles with a cheeky smile.
... Well, I guess this makes us even.
Yoshino's POV:
"Miku-chan is quite bold." Origami says as we watch the interaction from up on Fraxinus.
"I know." Rinne agrees. "You wouldn't believe that she was the same depressed girl we met before the Tenou Festival."
I nod in agreement. I could tell that Miku very much intended for this scenario the moment she saw the crepe stall, yet Shido still followed through with it.
"Ara~ Bold of him to go along with such a cliché scenario." Yoshinon says in a teasing manner.
"Yeah. It's like he's manned up." Kotori agrees, before looking at me with a knowing smirk. "Guess the sex must've helped."
I immediately blush and look at her. "H-H-How do you know about that?!" I stutter.
"You thought I wouldn't? I saw Reine giving you those contraceptive bills, and you even brought a bag of spare clothes. Not to mention the limp you had this morning. It's obvious what happened between you two." My face becomes as red as Kotori's hair as she lists the obvious signs. "Also, I could hear your moans from my room. He must've really rocked your world."
"Ara~ So you heard all that?" Yoshinon asks Kotori in a teasing manner. "Were you perhaps masturbating to your precious Onii-chan?" Now Kotori's blushing the same shade of red as me.
"Oooooooh~ I'm so jealous of Shido-san!" Kannazuki exclaims in envy. "To be able to caress Commander Yoshino's doll-like form with no clothing to separate them... To marvel at her petite curves as they embrace in each other's lust... I, too, wish to indulge in such pleasures!"
I don't even hesitate to use my strings to pull Kannazuki towards me and give him a high kick right to his chin. "Well, this is the best you're gonna get, because my body is for Shido only." I say coldly.
"An acceptable consolation~" The perverted masochistic lolicon happily accepts.
"So... Shido and Yoshino really did it." I look at Tohka when she says that. Whereas the other girls have heavy blushes on her face, Tohka's has a more neutral expression.
"Yes." I admit meekly, while at the same time, looking a little guilty.
"No need to look guilty about it." Tohka says, making me look at her with surprise as she smiles. "I may be Shido's wife, but I've already accepted that you're ahead of me. If anyone deserves to be Shido's first, it's you."
"Tohka..." I can't help but be surprised by this level of maturity from Tohka. I expected her to be the most jealous out of everyone, but she's taking the news surprisingly well.
Although, I say that, and then I realize Mio is probably more jealous than all of them, obviously wishing it was her and Shinji instead.
"Don't worry. You may be number one, but as his wife that automatically makes me number two!" Tohka says with a prideful huff.
"Hey, hold on a minute!" Kaguya snaps. "I will accept the Great Sage as our Alpha, but don't think I'll surrender the position of Beta without a fight!"
"Rebuttal: It is I who will be Shido's number two!" Yuzuru rebukes.
"I-I don't care when I have my turn..." Origami says, embarrassed about the topic of conversation.
"H-Hey now, everyone! There's no need to fight over it!" Rinne tries to calm the other Spirits down.
Watching the Spirits argue, I turn away to look at Kotori, who just shrugs. "You opened the door. At this rate, we may have to start planning adult dates soon." I sigh helplessly, knowing that she's right.
Shido's POV:
After heading to the arcade and winning so many plush prizes we needed a bag to carry them all, we head off to our next destination. Looking at Miku and seeing her so happy makes me happy as well. It's like she can finally live her life free of worries.
Or so I would like to believe.
Unfortunately, though, it seems the world wants to torment Miku one last time.
"Oh my! Do my eyes deceive me?"
A man's voice, sounding like he's in his 40s, reaches our ears as we turn to see a bald man in a black business suit with brown eyes.
"Um, I'm sorry, sir, but who are you?" I ask, not knowing who he is.
The man chuckles. "My apologies for the rude interruption. I am Mozo Nazukane, TV producer for the Pop Idol Girls Industry." He introduces himself. "I help idols rise up in the entertainment industry for fans to love them through advertisement, merchandise, everything!" So, he's some kind of big shot?
I look over to Miku, and am immediately concerned to see her face frozen in terror. "Miku, is something wrong?" I ask with worry.
"Th-That man..." She whispers with fear. "He... He's the one..."
"Ah, you recognize me, Miku Izayoi." The man smiles. "Quite a small world we live in, that we ended up meeting each other once again."
It does take long for me to connect the dots, and I look back at Nazakune with wide eyes. "Wait... you mean-"
"Ah, so you have heard of me." Nazakune says, not losing his smile. "Yes, my name is quite a big deal."
"I don't believe this." Yoshino growls. "He's the producer who started the scandal about Miku!" She confirms my suspicion about the older man in front of me.
"So he's the one who started all her suffering?!" Tohka shouts in outrage.
"God damnit! Of all the things that could possibly ruin this date!" Kotori curses loudly in my ear.
"I heard about how she committed suicide after losing her voice. A tragic end for such a lovely girl. But, then I hear that she started doing private performances again, only to suddenly stop six months later. Some started to believe she actually did die that time." He looks at Miku. "Imagine my surprise to hear her sing once again during the Tenou Festival. It seems she's making her return once again."
The intent in his gaze was obvious, and I stand protectively in front of Miku. "My friends and I did our best to help Miku get back on her feet." I say.
He looks at me with an annoyed frown. "Now that I look at you, you're the guitarist from her band, aren't you? Are you, perhaps, one of Miku's fans?"
"I am a fan of her singing, yes." I answer truthfully. "But more important, I'm Miku's friend."
"Friend, you say?" He smirks. "In that case, why don't we take this talk somewhere more private?" Both Miku and I tense up when he asks that. "Come find me if you're interested. I'm sure Miku remembers the place."
As he walks away, I turn to look at Miku. She's trembling in fear, no doubt from meeting the same producer that ruined her life before she became a Spirit, and now he's back to target her again. "Miku..." I say softly as I embrace her.
"Darling..." Miku speaks, hugging her face into my chest. "That man... I've already lost everything because of him... My career... My family... All of it gone... And now... Just when my life is coming back together, he's come back to take everything again..."
"Miku..."
Miku looks up at me with teary eyes. "I don't know what to do, Darling! He knows about your relationship with me! He'll target you just to pressure me into obeying him! He'll target everyone else, too! I don't want you all to suffer because of me!"
Miku starts sobbing and hug her tighter, angrily gritting my teeth at the situation. That bastard...! Doesn't he know that Miku's suffered enough? We've already done so much to help her... I won't let it be all for naught!
"Shido, listen to me." Yoshino calls to me, sounding deadly serious. "We're not gonna let that bastard have his way. I already have a plan on how to bring him down, but we need you and Miku to trust us."
"I always trust you, Yoshino." I reply with no hesitation, and then look down at Miku. "Miku, listen to me." The former idol looks up at me. "Yoshino and the others already have a plan to save us. We'll get out of this. We won't let that bastard take you." Miku whimpers with a nod.
Holding each other's hand, we go to confront Mozo Nazukane.
Yoshino's POV:
There was never an official name to the TV Producer that ruined Miku's career that when she was human, so Mozo Nazukane was just a random side character at first.
However, based on Miku's reaction upon seeing him, it didn't take long to figure out that he was the producer from the scandal, and that's when a surge of anger flowed across the room. This man was the beginning of Miku's suffering, and now he's come back to torment her again. And if what Miku said is true, he's not gonna hesitate to harm Shido just to get what he wants.
Little does he know... he just made an enemy of Ratatoskr.
"Kotori." I speak to my fellow commander. "How well can Fraxinus hack into Mozo Nazukane's systems?"
"Once MARIA starts operating full throttle, there's nothing our systems can't hack, especially if we're right above the location." Kotori confidently responds. "The fact that Nazukane's having them meet near his agency works to our advantage. With enough digging, we can even find old pieces of footage, including a certain talk from a year ago." Good. She already knows what I'm planning.
"I'll leave you all to it, then." I say. "And send a [Yggdrafolium] to spy on the conversation. Make sure to record everything that is said."
"Yes, Commander Yoshino!" The crew replies with intense focus.
"As for me..." I get up from my chair. "I'll go down there personally."
Third POV:
With Miku's directions, the couple find themselves standing in front of a tall building. For Shido, this is his first time seeing it. For Miku, however, she remembers this place all too well, as it was the starting point for where everything went wrong.
And now she's here again, facing the demons from her past, with her Darling by her side.
Shido firmly but gently grabs her hand, telling her without words that he and everyone else are here for her.
"Alright. We're in position." Kotori reports through her earpiece. "We need you to keep Nazukane occupied long enough for us to get enough damning evidence against him. Basically, just stall for time."
"Right." Shido replies, and then gives Miku a nod. Although nervous, the former idol nods in return.
The two walk into the building together, where Mozo Nazukane is waiting for them. "I see you've arrived, Miku Izayoi." He greets Miku with a respectful smile, making her flinch. "Ah, you're here, too. Though, I believe this is a private matter between me and Ms. Izayoi about the job I'm willing to talk to her about."
Shido doesn't buy his friendly tone. "Sorry, but as Miku's personal bodyguard, I'm entitled to stay."
Both Mozo and Miku look at him with surprise. Shido looks back at the latter, his eyes telling her to play along, and she quickly nods. "Indeed. It won't be necessary to have my personal bodyguard leave outside. Besides, I need him in case something unpleasant happens."
"Smooth thinking, Onii-chan." Kotori compliments the [Sealer]'s quick thinking.
Mozo has a look of displeasure on the inside while showing it on his face, but then goes back to his usual smile, simply letting out a small chuckle as he walks around the room. "Perhaps you might not know me much, have you, Mr. Personal Bodygaurd?" He asks in a sarcastic tone, which the two teenagers could tell. "Across the industry, people love me for my work. TV shows, advertisements, interviews, you name it. I have a big name; a really big name within the idol industry. Everyone is so happy to have me around. They know me and appreciate me for bringing such great idols to public. In fact, I am clearly a role model myself. Money gets money as people soar through within Japan of being entertained by our idols in the industry. And with me, I'm simply the spokesperson and voice of reason. Both of these things you could look into in a role model."
"Ugh, he sounds so full of himself." Shido could hear Kaguya voicing her disgust.
"Irritation: His arrogance is pissing me off." Yuzuru follows up, irritated by the TV Producer's arrogance.
Shido can understand the twins' feelings towards the man before him as he narrows his eyes. "Is that supposed to be fact?"
Mozo simply gives a smug look in response, locking his hands behind him. "It is indeed fact, my dear friend. And with Ms. Izayoi, she really did boom sky high to be one of the most famous idols in all of Japan during her brief return. Especially after the... 'incident' with... Tsukino Yoimachi." In a calm yet threatening tone, he looks at Miku with a dead stare, making her flinch. Noticing this, Shido wraps an around her to comfort her, silently telling her that it will be okay, which calms her down. Noticing this Mozo gives an evil glare towards the boy, but goes back to his usual respectful gesture. "You should understand that without idols, we won't be able to advertise for our audiences. Given another shot, I believe Ms. Izayoi will be able to rise back into fame once again, but she'll need an agency to gain her influence."
Shido doesn't buy that at all. "But you don't know that, Mr. Nazukane. I do." He rebukes. "Miku's done well in her idol career all on her own. She only wants people to smile and be entertained by her singing." Miku looks at Shido, touched by his words.
"So do I." Mozo responds. "Look kid, we, in this agency, all know how well Ms. Izayoi has been doing. Hell, I even saw it on the news how well she's been doing. And with our company, she is needed in order to gain more fame, one ay or another." He walks over to the front counter and picks up a bottle of water, drinking it. Finishing his drink, the TV Producer puts the bottle down. "But you see, business is business. Without idols, business will be in turmoil. Nothing will be shipped within this agency. Nothing. Ms. Izayoi has the opportunity to become something more than an idol- an Angel from heaven, a goddess of heartfelt souls. I'm certain she wouldn't be able to survive out there any longer, not after the injury she suffered six months after her return." Shido inwardly grits his teeth at Mozo bringing up DEM attacking Miku and harvesting her power, even if the TV Producer doesn't know about it. "So, with me being the caretaker for Ms. Izayoi, we'd take good care of her to make sure her popularity booms sky high."
"'Take care of her' he says." Origami says with obvious disgust, which is shared by everyone.
Even Shido begins to feel fed up with this. What is he even talking about? Him being Miku's caretaker? Not only that, he even mentioned about Miku's idol name, which the [Sealer] notices from that small devilish grin and Miku's growing nervousness.
No way he's gonna take any of that.
"Look, I don't even know why we're talking about this, because it's honestly a complete waste of time." Shido says.
Mozo's face begins to deteriorate from his friendly manner as Shido continues. "Miku's fame skyrocketed all because of her. She doesn't need a TV Producer to help do some role modelling whilst advertising her. Besides, I think Miku is happy with what she has now."
The room is silent for a moment before Mozo speaks. "...Well, that's a predicament." His voice turns deep, something from the belly of a beast. He walks up from the front counter before stopping a small distance away with a loud stomp, making Shido and Miku take a step back, the former standing in front of the [Diva] Spirit as she hides behind him in fear.
"You better listen to me, boy." The TV Producer speaks in a threatening tone. "Without idols, we'll be put out of business. Forever. Miku has the upper potential and we need her for that. And we can look after her... one way or another."
Those final words hit the coffin, Shido's emotions slowly growing into anger, which Miku notices, looking at him with concern. "Don't you fucking dare talk to Miku that way." The [Sealer] growls in a protective manner, his expression serious with a calm anger in his voice.
Mozo returns the look with an arrogant smirk. "You're getting worked up over nothing. I'm only stating facts." His expression grows serious as he looks Shido in the face. "People don't say no to me. Not for long."
The atmosphere in the room becomes so tense, you could practically cut it, with neither side willing to back down even a little bit.
The tension in the building can be felt even up on Fraxinus, the Spirits onboard looking at the screen with worry. "Progress report!" Kotori shouts.
"We're stilling digging through the files, Commander!" Kannazuki hastily reports. "We need a bit more time!"
Kotori clicks her teeth. "Hang in there, Shido..."
After a moment, Shido is the first to speak. "Mr. Nazukane, I hate to break it to you, but producers don't threaten an idol's bodyguard." He informs the older man. "Besides, we're in the middle of something on our day and you decide to pester us? Isn't that a bit rude?"
"Eh?" Mozo blinks. "What are you-"
"No, no. Stop, please." Shido interrupts him. "You don't have the right to threaten me or Miku. Doesn't that feel sketchy when talking about business, yet you decide to 'persuade' them?"
Mozo couldn't utter a word, not expecting the younger male to fight back.
And Shido isn't done either. "In fact, now that I get a look at the situation, didn't you say that you are Mozo Nazukane, the producer who advertises famous pop idols around Japan? Because now that I think about it, there was a certain... scandal, in which someone named Mozo Nazukane revealed information about Tsukino Yoimachi having an affair. You wouldn't happen to be THAT Mozo Nazukane, right?"
"Um..." Mozo sweatdrops, his arrogant demeanor slowly falling down the drain.
"Because if you are, I did notice something sketchy during my time in my personal life that there was something going on with that scandal. Of course, I never believed it myself because I knew there was something fishy behind the scenes. Like perhaps... blackmailing Tsukino Yoimachi into sleeping with him? Not to mention how Miku holds resemblence to Tsukino Yoimachi. You wouldn't happen to be planning to have Tsukino Yoimachi back for your own 'pleasure', would you?" Shido finally finishes, looking at the producer with a serious glare, who stares back in absolute shock and silence.
There's yet another moment of silence before Mozo sighs in disappointment. "Can't believe a filthy boy like you could see through me..."
Shido gives a stern glare. "So, you admit it."
"Shut up!" Mozo snaps angrily. "You know, I was really proud to see Miku's career get destroyed since she didn't accept my offer."
"And that offer is letting you sexually harass her from behind the scenes, allowing you to have your way with her in bed?" Shido clarifies.
Mozo looks at him with an annoyed expresion. "You don't know who I am, boy. I'm the most famous Hotshot TV Producer in all of Japan! Everyone loves me, especially other idols! Tsukino Yoimachi's career wouldn't have been destroyed by those false claims if she had just listened to my advances. I would have take gooood care of her that day."
He snaps his fingers, and his goons run up to surround the two teens, putting them on guard as the producer walks up closer, standing tall to intimidate them. "I can do it again. Since Izayoi is with a fan like yourself, it would be outrageous to see the other fans leave her again. So here is the cheese: Either you give Miku away so that her career won't be destroyed like last time, including your personal life, and the both of you will be alright and can go on your marry way. If not, then both of your lives will be ruined. It's up to you." Mozo gives an evil grin, thinking he has them cornered. "You wouldn't want your life to be in turmoil, would you? It's my word against yours."
In the midst of Mozo's threat, something about his words clicks in Miku's mind. "Wait a minute... You still think I'm an idol, don't you?" She asks the older man.
Mozo raises an eyebrow. "Of course. Why else would you have been the lead singer for your school at the Tenou Festival?" Shido and Miku blink at his response and look at each other, and then start to laugh. "What's so funny?"
"What's funny is that you're wrong, Mozo Nazukane." Miku answers, a smirk forming on her face. "You see... I actually quit being an idol." Mozo's eyes widen at the reveal. "The reason why I stopped singing six months ago is because I suffered a throat injury so severe, that I could no longer sing like I used to, to the point that I had no choice but to give up. And during the Tenou Festival? I did write the song, but I was actually the backup singer. It was Tohka-chan that was the lead singer back there!" She looks at him with a glare of disgust. "Right now, I'm no idol. I'm just another random girl who's attending high school." She walks up to him... "Except this girl.. IS DONE WITH OUR SHIT!" And delivers a punch right into his face, subtly putting in enough Reiryoku to send him flying back into the front counter.
Mozo's goons stare in shock at what they just witnessed, while Shido looks at Miku with wide eyes."Miku..." He says, both surprised and proud of her action.
"Yeah! Nice one, Miku!" Tohka cheers, seeing her friend punch the TV producer in the face.
"That's right! Let him know he picked the wrong girl to mess with!" Kaguya laughs.
"Commander Kotori, we've recorded Mozo Nazukane's admittance and isolated it!" Kannazuki reports. "We've also found video recordings from a year ago about Miku rejecting his proposal, as well as him making the false scandal, among other evidence! We've sent them to Commander Yoshino!"
"Excellent." Kotori smirks, proud of her team for gathering the info, her brother for making Mozo spill the beans, and Miku for straight decking the bastard producer in the face.
They have the upper hand now. It's time to end this.
Mozo grunts as he sits up, his nose bloody from Miku punching him so hard as he looks at them with an ugly scowl. "Get those brats!" He demands.
However, his goons soon find that they couldn't even move a muscle, as if they've been locked in place. "Wh-What the hell?! Why can't I move?!" One of them questions in a panic.
However, Shido and Miku can both see the reason- a bunch of strings of Reiryoku attached to the goons bodies and binding them in place.
"Nyahaha! You guys having some trouble moving?" A familiar voice taunts the goons, and Shido and Miku look past them to see Yoshino and Reine standing at the entrance, with Yoshinon on her left hand. Strings of Reiryoku can be seen extending from Yoshinon's paws, showing that they came from her.
"What?! Who are you?!" Mozo asks, stunned by the unexpected arrival of what looks to be a little girl with a hand puppet.
"Someone who doesn't appreciate you threatening my friends." Yoshino answers anonymously.
Using the opening Yoshino and Yoshinon provided them, Shido and Miku knock out all of Mozo's goons with only a single Reiryoku-infused punch or kick.
With his goons defeated, Mozo can only look on in panic as the four walk up to him. "Y-You think you have me cornered?! Even if you tell anyone, no one will believe you! I told you, it's my word against yours!" He shouts, thinking he still has the upper hand.
Yoshino, contrary to what he expects, smirks in response. "Yes, you did say that." She says. Next to her, Reine taps on her pad, and...
"Shut up!" A recording of Mozo's voice is heard from the pad. "You know, I was really proud to see Miku's career get destroyed since she didn't accept my offer."
"And that offer is letting you sexually harass her from behind the scenes, allowing you to have your way with her in bed?" A recording of Shido's voice replies.
Mozo's eyes widen with horror upon realizing that he was being recorded all this time. "Oh, but that's not all. Take a look at some other things we found." Yoshino says as Reine taps on her pad some more before showing it to the producer. To his growing horror, it was a video recording of him and Miku in his office.
"Come on, Ms. Izayoi. If you want to advance further in your career, all you have to do is let me take care of you." Mozo says in the recording in a disturbing predatorily tone.
"No! I don't want to do this with you!" Miku denies in the recording. "I'm not gonna adance my career with the type of man you are! You are a producer! And you should act like it! I'm leaving!" She storms out of the room, leaving Mozo in a fit of disappointment and anger.
Reine then swipes the screen to show another video recording of Mozo and the reporters in the same office. "What now, boss?" One of the reporters asks. "That girl doesn't want to deal with you."
"Make a false claim about Tsukino Yoimachi that she has been secretly dating someone in her personal life. I want her to know: No one say no to me." Mozo in the recording orders in determined rage, and then the recording ends.
"We've also found files of all those false claims you made to tarnish Miku's career. It's amazing you kept all of that." Yoshino says, smirking at the look of horror on Mozo's face, before her expression shifts into a dark glare. "You really have the nerve to ruin Miku's life just because she says NO. Once this all goes online, you can kiss your fame and fortune goodbye. Consider this payback for the pain you caused her."
"Yoshino-chan..." Miku whispers, amazed that she and the others went this far for her sake.
Mozo couldn't believe what was happening right now. He's been cornered, plain and simple. That narcoleptic woman somehow has info he thought was safely stored away, and now everything he's worked for is on the verge of ruin.
Gritting his teeth in outrage, he looks at Miku with an furious look on his face. "You wretched whore!" He curses her. "Why didn't you just come crawling back to me like all those other sluts I ruined?!"
His words make the four freeze and look at him with wide eyes. "What?" Miku whispers. "Did you say... others?!"
An insane smile stretches across Mozo's face as he starts laughing like a maniac. "You thought you were the first one I offered my business to?! I've offered my services to more than a dozen idols before you! They all refused, and just like with you, I ruined their lives! Spreading false rumors! Bribing their parents into disowning them! It was all too easy! The looks of despair on their faces when I found them again was glorious, seeing that they had no choice but to accept my offer as I broke them into being my sex slaves! There is no greater pleasure! YOU IDOLS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN MEATBAGS FOR MY PERSONAL PLEASURE AND SUCCESS! THAT'S ALL YOU EXIST FOR!"
"FUCKING WHAT?!" Kotori screams in absolute outrage, her eyes glowing with fury, matched only by the burning red aura of Reiryoku surging around her. She has half a mind to go down there and incinerate him from the inside-out.
The other Spirits with her are equally furious, their own powers surging around them. In their minds, each one is thinking of different ways to brutally murder the bastard producer.
The rest of the Fraxinus crew are also equally outraged, unable to believe just how horrible Mozo Nazukane truly is. Even Kannazuki, who usually prefers to be on the receiving end, wants nothing more than to beat his face in.
Miku looks at the laughing Mozo, her wide eyes showing, horror, disgust and outrage. She thought it was bad enough that Mozo had ruined her life, but hearing that he had done the same to multiple idols before her, turning them all into broken receptacles for his own lust while building his fortune off their destroyed lives? Miku had thought all men to be scum before meeting Shido, but now she's thinking about apologizing to all men for putting them in the same category as this monster!
Reine's usual stoic demeanor breaks into a furious scowl, hearing how the man before her took pleasure in ruining the lives of young girls and making them his sex slaves. In her eyes, this man is just as bad as Isaac Wescott, the one who took her beloved Shinji away from her. If it wasn't for the fact that she was being watched right now, she would've used Ain to erase his existence right here and now!
Yoshino looks at Mozo with a dark scowl. This bastard preys upon young idols, making their families betray them and outright ruining their lives, and then turns into broken sex dolls before his own personal use! He's literally this world's version of Diodora Astaroth from Highschool DxD, something she didn't even think was possible! It was taking every ounce of control in her body to keep herself from performing a Sub Zero Fatality on this man right now!
Then there's Shido, whose are shadowed by his hair as he approaches Mozo...
*POW*
And delivers a nasty haymaker that sends him flying into the wall, snapping everyone out of their furious states as they look at him with wide eyes.
"Y-You brat!" Mozo shouts as he sits up. "Who do you think you're-" A punch to the face interrupts him.
"Shut your god damn mouth!" Shido snarls darkly as he punches him again. "You've ruined so many innocent lives, built your company's success off their broken dreams, and all that just to get your own dick wet?! You are the worst kind of scum!"
The three females with him watch in shock as Shido beats Mozo's face in, something which, to them, was completely out of character for him. The [Sealer] didn't stop until Mozo's face was so bruised, he looked unrecognizable. But even then, Shido show that he's not done as he lowers a hand to Mozo crotch, grasping it harshly...
And then lighting that hand on fire!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mozo screams in absolute agony.
"HOLY SHIT!" Yoshinon screams what's on everyone's mind right now as they witness Shido burn Mozo's dick off! Their eyes wide and their jaws hanging open, complete with Kotori's lollipop falling out of her mouth as they watch with shock and grim satisfaction as the young man takes away the older man's proof of manhood, though the men in the Fraxinus crew cradle their own privates as they do.
By the time Shido was done, Mozo has slumped to the floor, having passed out from the unbearable pain. Having finished his work, Shido walks back to the girls. "I'm assuming we're done here?" He asks.
"Y-Yes." Reine replies, still stunned by the [Sealer]'s display of brutality. "We have all the needed evidence. It will be uploaded online once we leave."
"Good. Then let's get out of here."
Taking it as their cue, the four are teleported somewhere away from the building.
At the same time, a figure emerges from one of the shadow of a potted plant, revealing to be Kurumi, who has a blushing smile on her face. "Ara~ To think Shido-san could be so violent~ I'm starting to fall for him even more now~" She gushes. Looking at Mozo's defeated form, her face turns into a scowl. "I'd rather save the tummy ache eating trash like you. Jail time is a much better justice." With that, she sinks back into the shadows."
I tried to fit all of the end into one chapter, but it ended up being so long, I ultimately decided to divide it into two chapters. So, here's Part 1.
You thought Miku's torture would be over, but there was still one demon left for her to conquer... and she punches that demon SQUARE IN THE FACE! You go, girl!
Yeah, I decided to add the TV producer from the scandal as one final obstacle, and I've thinking of making him as unlikable as possible, so thought "Why not make him like Diodora Astaroth, except in this case, he targets idols?". And because I HATE Diodora Astaroth, I decided to have Shido beat Mozo's face black and blue before using Camael to burning his dick off. Out of character for him, true, but even he would snap hearing the sick shit he's done.
Part 2 will finally end Miku's arc. See you guys then!
