Chapter 76 – Episode 76. Evidence (4)

I was having a normal day, but now I was urgently climbing a mountain.

“Haa! The air is so good!”

The reason was very simple.

[Takuya, Kumoto wants to see me at the office today, so I don’t think we can meet.]

It was because Kumoto had suddenly made a move.

Kumoto was moving, but why was I climbing a mountain?

The answer was simple. The place Kumoto had prepared to train Haru for the day was on this mountain.

I thought that as I climbed the mountain for a while.

“Hoo. By the way, he set it up in a damn high place.”

I finally arrived at the place Kumoto had prepared.

I clicked my tongue as I looked at the fairly large warehouse built in a mountain valley where cars couldn’t reach.

‘Since it’s in a place like this, he can scream as loud as he wants. Does he not know?’

Remembering how loud it was even though I didn’t have the in-game voice turned up, I clicked my tongue at Kumoto’s meticulousness.

Looking at a place where it didn’t even seem like animals lived, I waited for Kumoto to approach.

And in the meantime, I made a call.

[Hoo! Hoo! He, hello!]

“Hyung, come quickly! It’s an emergency!”

[Ah, okay…Hoo…]

The person on the other end of the call was Hiro, the protagonist of this game and the person who would become the protagonist of the stage Kumoto had created.

I scolded Hiro, who was breathing heavily as he climbed the mountain, and then looked at the empty warehouse.

‘Okay, now, how should I save her, or should I think about how to make it exciting?’

***

Late afternoon, as the sun began to set.

A sturdy middle-aged man was climbing the mountain, carrying a large sack.

The middle-aged man’s name was Kumoto.

“Hoo! Hoo! For a high school girl, she’s damn heavy.”

He was currently a kidnapper kidnapping a high school girl.

Was it because he was carrying a heavy load? Or was it because it had been a while since he had climbed? He was breathing heavily even though he was moving up the mountain with a pretty good physique.

‘I should quit smoking next time.’

He thought the same thing he had thought dozens of times before and continued to climb the mountain.

As he climbed, he found a path that looked subtly artificial in the mountain, which was otherwise full of bushes.

‘I’m almost there!’

Seeing the path, Kumoto happily stepped onto it and moved forward.

Now that he had come this far, it wouldn’t be long before he reached the warehouse.

Thinking that, Kumoto quickly climbed the mountain and arrived at the warehouse he had prepared.

Kumoto looked around to see if there was anyone nearby, then quickly opened the door and entered the warehouse.

The inside of the warehouse was a place befitting its name, but this wasn’t the main area.

Kumoto carefully placed the sack containing Haru on the mattress and then opened a secret entrance.

“Cough! Cough! Hoo. I should at least clean up next time.”

Thinking that, Kumoto went down the stairs that opened below the floor.

What he saw as he moved down the stairs was…

“Hehe. This place is always amazing.”

It was a place filled with all sorts of sex toys.

According to the perverted director’s taste, it was a great place with all sorts of tools, as well as gels and cosplay costumes.

‘I was surprised when I first saw this place.’

But after using it a few times, it was hard to find a better place than this.

Kumoto was satisfied with the sight of all the sex toys and opened the sack.

Inside the sack, Haru was quietly sleeping, letting out small breaths.

Seeing Haru’s appearance, Kumoto smiled wickedly, took her out of the sack, and tied her to an X-shaped device.

Of course, she was still wearing her school uniform.

It was best to start with her school uniform.

Kumoto looked at Haru, who was tied up, with a satisfied smile, and then drooled as he looked at her protruding breasts.

‘It’ll be a while before she wakes up anyway. Should I enjoy myself a little?’

Thinking that, Kumoto grabbed Haru’s breast!

No. He was about to grab it.

-Thump thump thump!

That was until he heard a loud noise suddenly coming from the upper floor.

‘What is that noise?!’

Startled by the sudden noise, Kumoto wondered if a bear had come in? He took his attention away from Haru’s chest and carefully went back up the stairs.

What he saw when he went up was…

“What the hell.”
“Kumotooooo!!!”

A boy sighing and holding his head, and another boy who looked very angry at him.

Kumoto was momentarily flustered by the sight, but he quickly grasped the situation.

It didn’t seem like they had come here out of curiosity, so the answer was…

“So, it was you guys?”

It meant that they were the guys who knew his secret.

Once he realized that, Kumoto’s worries disappeared, and his smile deepened so much that it reached the sky.

And seeing that smile, the angry boy, no, Hiro, couldn’t contain his anger and rushed at Kumoto, shouting.

“You trash!”

Looking at Hiro, Kumoto smirked, clenched his fist tightly, and swung it at the boy who was running towards him.

-Crack!

Hiro, who was hit directly by the fist, spun around twice in the air and then fell to the ground. The boy next to him, seeing that, was terrified…

“Haa…useless bastard.”

He wasn’t.

The boy sighed deeply and looked at the boy who had been thrown away as if he was pathetic.

‘He’s not scared even after seeing this?’

Kumoto felt strange at his calm demeanor, but what was even stranger was the boy’s next action.

The boy took out a strange liquid from his pocket, sprinkled it on the fallen boy, and then lost interest.

Looking at the boy, Kumoto smiled intriguingly and went up to the ground.

It seemed like he needed a proper ‘conversation’ with that boy.

***

Things had gone wrong.

Originally, I was going to go in after joining up with Hiro when Kumoto came out again. But the salvation gauge was dropping rapidly, so I urgently entered the building. There, Hiro touched something wrong, and the sound was heard.

Okay, I could understand that, but this idiot couldn’t contain his anger when he saw Kumoto and just rushed at him.

The reason he suddenly rushed was simple.

‘Damn it, I shouldn’t have shown him the pictures…’

He probably rushed because he was worried and angry that Haru might have already been subjected to such things after seeing what Kumoto had done.

I shouldn’t have shown him the pictures of what Kumoto had done.

Actually, showing the pictures was unavoidable.

Kumoto had moved too suddenly, and there was no better reason to bring Hiro here than that.

‘And even I didn’t know that he would rush at someone like a madman as soon as he saw them.’

“Hey kid. What are you thinking about so much?”

I thought that to myself and looked at the 190cm tall physical education teacher—no, villain—in front of me who was talking to me.

‘Okay, what should I do with that guy…’

There was no option to run away.

Now that Hiro was lying down, I couldn’t run away.

If I ran away here, what would happen to Hiro? It wouldn’t be normal, at least.

And if Hiro was crippled, the salvation gauge would probably fall to the point where it would be difficult to recover.

‘Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I would have just called Hiro later.’

I thought, realizing my mistake.

Now, there was only one option left.

“Hehe. Why are you trying to fight?”
“Well, because there’s no other choice.”

Fight and win. That was the only option.

It seemed like I would have to feel the nostalgia of the past for the first time in a while.

***

Basement.

-Bang!

Haru, who was tied up, opened her eyes at the loud noise.

“Ugh, ugh…what, what is this…”

Haru, who had woken up from the sudden noise, was flustered when she realized she was tied up.

‘Why am I here…I clearly ate the tea that Kumoto gave me…’

Right. Kumoto had called me to his office, saying he had something to discuss, and he had given me tea, and I had drunk that tea…

Just as Haru was slowly recalling her memories.

[Kkyaaaaak!!!]

Someone’s scream began to echo from the building.

[You damn bastard!!]

No. To be exact, it was a scream and…

-Whack!

-Thud!

The sound of violent blows, as if someone was hitting someone, began to be heard.

‘Wh, what is this!’

Haru trembled with fear at the violent sound and waited for the sound to stop.

How much time had passed?

‘I, is it over?’

Finally, the violent blows and someone’s screams were no longer heard.

Haru was relieved that she no longer heard such sounds, but that relief did not last long.

-Thud.

-Thud.

Now it seemed like the person who had made the violent sounds was coming.

Haru pretended to be asleep at the sound of someone’s footsteps.

‘He, he wouldn’t do anything, right?’

At least, it didn’t seem like he would use such violence against her.

How long had she waited with her eyes tightly closed?

“Why are there so many adult products?”

Haru, who was nervous at the man’s voice echoing because it was an enclosed space, thought to herself at the familiar voice.

‘Could it be Takuya?’

Could the person approaching her now be the boy she had become friends with a few days ago?

For a moment, she thought it was absurd, but…

“Ouch, damn it, that hurts.”

The voice she heard up close was definitely Takuya’s voice.
