Chapter 30 - The Masked Savior

The second floor room smelled of cologne.

It was a spacious study, bookshelves, a desk, and a panoramic window overlooking the gardens.

But now the world had shrunk to the exact space between his neck and the two women walking behind Muneichi.

"I-It's here..." He said while opening the door with fingers that wouldn't stop shaking. "The information is here, everything is here."

He went in first, Rinko followed two steps behind with her hand still resting on the hilt of her katana, while Yukikaze closed the door and leaned against the frame with her pistol dangling from her index finger.

Muneichi circled the desk and quickly opened a drawer and pulled out a small safe box.

Smiling pathetically, he slid the box across the desk toward Rinko. "The things are inside. I beg you both to... spare my life..."

Rinko grabbed the box and examined it with an icy expression while her fingers assessed the weight, the latch, the possibility that it was a trap.

While she inspected the box, Yukikaze peeled herself off the door frame, crossed the room silently, and pressed the barrel of her pistol directly against Muneichi's temple. "Try something and I'll decorate the wall with your brains."

"Total cooperation!"

Raising his hands again, Muneichi backed up step by step until his back hit the wall, nowhere left to run.

He stayed there, eyes bouncing from Rinko's katana to Yukikaze's pistol and back, not daring to blink.

"..."

Rinko studied him an instant longer before focusing on the box. Yukikaze leaned over the desk to look.

Rinko lifted the lid...

PSSSHHH!!

A pressurized spray of pink gas burst directly into both their faces with the aggression of a viper.

Rinko's violet pupils contracted violently and she stumbled backward in erratic steps.

"You! Ugh..."

The gas filled their lungs, choking out any words and ignited a fire that spread through their entire bodies. Soon her vision turned blurry and her knees gave out, collapsing heavily to the floor.

"B-Bastard!"

Yukikaze raised her weapons to fire, but in that instant, the gas drained all the strength from her muscles, paralyzing her nervous system completely.

Meanwhile, against the wall, Muneichi's trembling stopped.

And the smile that crossed his face was that of a man who had finally stopped acting.

He pushed off the wall straightening his back with a calm he hadn't shown all night, and the cowardice fell away.

"Hehehe..."

"HEHEHE! Look at you! Taimanin bitches dropping like flies!"

His eyes roamed over both bodies with lust. He advanced drooling, extending his thick hands to violently squeeze Rinko's breasts.

But a movement caught his attention. Yukikaze dragged her arm and raised the barrel of her weapon.

"D-Die, you pig!"

A bolt of lightning blasted straight at Muneichi's face, but her critical state reduced the shot's lethality, limiting the damage to brutally fracturing his jaw.

"AAAAGH! Y-You're gonna pay for that, you goddamn flat chested bitch!"

After that last effort, Yukikaze collapsed face first onto the floor, keeping a murderous glare locked on him.

"I'm gonna fuck you till you break, bitch! Then I'm gonna sell what's left of you to the goddamn Yomiwara brothel!"

Struggling to get up from the ground, Muneichi spat blood from his shattered jaw and lunged savagely at Yukikaze.

'Damn it... I'm burning up, heavy as a stone... I'm already at his mercy.' Squeezing her eyelids shut tight, Yukikaze let the despair crush her.

BANG

But a brutal crash shattered the atmosphere and with it something heavy slammed against the wall with a crunch.

Yukikaze flinched.

Despite the chaos, she kept her eyes tightly shut, every muscle tense, bracing for the worst. Her mind could barely process what had just happened. 'What was that...? An attack? From who?'

But nothing else came.

Absolute silence took over the room, bringing a calm that stretched second by second.

There were no screams, no footsteps, not the slightest movement. Just her own ragged breathing.

The uncertainty felt worse than any blow and slowly, almost unwillingly, the tension in her eyelids gave way. Unconsciously she opened her eyes and turned her head to one side, and what she saw left her stunned.

Muneichi was hanging half a meter off the ground, embedded in the cracked wall, slowly sliding down toward the floor.

"Argh... pfft!"

When he hit the ground, his body contracted violently, vomiting blood.

Yukikaze blinked without understanding. 'What... just happened?'

And before she could find an answer...

Swish

The air stirred just a few meters from her.

An imposing silhouette materialized standing between her and Muneichi.

Enduring the sickness burning through her entire body, she lifted her chin with effort, trying to make out the figure with its back to her.

The first thing she recognized was the mask. Red, elongated, with a prominent nose and fierce features: the unmistakable face of a Tengu.

Her unknown savior kept his identity completely hidden and yet, every inch of his posture radiated absolute control over the situation.

She swallowed.

She didn't know who he was, she didn't know where he'd come from, and still, that immense presence brought her an instant feeling of absolute safety, like an impenetrable wall rising between her and everything that could hurt her.

But for Muneichi, the scene was very different.

Writhing in his own blood, with his ribs screaming at every breath, he raised his eyes toward the figure looming over him.

That same mask that gave Yukikaze calm, to him represented the executioner of the underworld himself coming to drag him to hell.

"W-Who... what the fuck are you?"

"The man who's here to collect your fucking life."

Ignoring him, Jin turned to assess the two women on the floor and recognized them immediately.

A flat chested shortie and a busty tall one with blue hair. Bingo, without a doubt they were Yukikaze and Rinko.

There it was, the legendary and super lethal level of the Taimanin, being completely humiliated by a pig like Muneichi.

Infiltration mission ending straight in a pathetic rape scene.

A classic.

The condition of both was critical.

Perhaps because Rinko had opened the box and absorbed the bulk of the gas, her muscles were arching against the floor like a cat in full heat. While her pupils glowed with a pinkish hue, showing a face dominated by pure lust.

In comparison, Yukikaze had inhaled a smaller fraction of the toxin, clinging tooth and nail to her last rational instincts. The boiling red flush under her skin marked the few remaining minutes until her total meltdown.

"You two still in one piece?" Jin lifted both of them and settled them on the bed's mattress.

"Th... thank you." Yukikaze shot him a look full of relief. "I'm okay but I'm scared for Rinko-nee..." Her voice cracked, turning her head toward the woman beside her.

"Obviously." Jin nodded briefly, confirming what his own eyes had already registered when examining both of them.

Rinko's condition was worse... Much worse.

Thinking about this, his jaw tightened.

Without another word, he spun on his heels and walked toward Muneichi. The fat man, who had barely managed to get to his knees between coughs, looked up just in time to see the Tengu's shadow closing over him.

"Wai—"

Boom

Jin cracked a sharp whip kick with his right leg, driving his boot directly into Muneichi's gut.

The fat man went flying like a ball, spitting air and bile, and slammed into a wall again.

The concrete cracked around his body before he slid down to the floor like a sack of meat, breathless, without dignity, and without the slightest chance of getting up on his own.

The kick rearranged his internal organs. A wave of pure agony seared every nerve in Muneichi's body, leaving him convulsing.

Pulling his boots away from the dark puddle, Jin gave him a couple of extra stomps to the ribs, reducing him to a bloody rag.

"Aaaagh!" Muneichi spat a gush of blood and tears began pouring out uncontrollably. All pride, all pretense of power, all the arrogance with which he'd manipulated those two women... stomped out. "I give up! I'll do whatever you want! H-Have... Have mercy!"

Jin slowly crouched in front of him, his mask stopping inches from the wrecked face, and although Muneichi couldn't see the eyes behind it, he could feel the gaze piercing through his skull.

"What the fuck did you do to them?"

"I tricked them! I told them the box had a list of officials conspiring with demons. But the box... the box had a trap loaded with aphrodisiac gas from a succubus clan that I bought in the Demon Realm."

"Where are you hiding the fucking antidote?"

"There! Right there! Inside the last drawer on the right side of the desk!"

His confession caught Jin off guard, though not for the reasons Muneichi would have imagined. The fat bastard kept a real antidote... That meant the problem had a simple solution.

'Too bad.'

Deep down, Jin was already entertaining the noble and heroic idea of having to "sacrifice" his own body in an intensive session to save the girls.

A perfectly altruistic plan, of course. Purely medicinal. Without the slightest trace of personal interest. But well... if an antidote existed, the right thing was to use it first... Probably.

Nodding while grumbling something unintelligible under the mask, he spun on his heels and walked straight toward the cabinet at the back of the room.

His steps echoed without the slightest hurry, his back turned to the man.

The instant the Tengu's figure moved far enough away, Muneichi's eyes dripped venom.

The pathetic trembling of his lips transformed into a twisted sneer.

He'd just told another lie, the best one of all, and this masked moron had swallowed it whole.

There was no antidote in that drawer. What that last compartment hid was a pressurized trap of hypnotic gas.

One point blank shot and not even the most trained human or demon could resist it.

"I'm going to gut you and send you to the demons' torture chamber," he whispered through clenched teeth, already savoring the victory.

From the mattress, Yukikaze watched the scene with her heart racing.

The confession had been too easy... Her gaze jumped from Jin's back to Muneichi's face, and her blood ran cold.

"C-Careful, it's a trap!"

But Jin didn't stop and continued toward the desk, reached out his hand and pulled the handle of the last drawer.

The mechanism triggered instantly, detonating a cloud of yellow gas that blasted directly against his mask.

Seeing it, Muneichi celebrated spitting blood. The pain was nothing compared to the ecstasy of what he was witnessing. "Swallow that, you goddamn idiot! You fell for it just like these two bitches!".

[Alert!: Hypnotic toxin detected. Immunity guaranteed by Title: Envoy of Justice.]

Soon the smoke cleared, revealing Jin standing there, inhaling the lethal toxin with the same calm as someone smoking tobacco.

"..."

Muneichi and Yukikaze both went wide eyed.

Then Jin fixed his gaze on the pig.

"You chose the painful route, fatass."

"You just earned yourself a VIP pass, all expenses paid, to get intimately acquainted with the Four Stallions."

And anticipating whatever Muneichi might say, he extended his hand.

[Noble Phantasm: Final Punishment — Activation!]

!

Reality fractured around Muneichi like a broken mirror: the walls of the room warped, the floor dissolved beneath his body, and the light went out all at once. He didn't even have time to scream before the darkness swallowed him whole.

When his senses returned, he was no longer in the same room.

He was in a dark dungeon.

A few meters away, Tougo hung from the ceiling bound by thick chains, his body on display, wrecked with torture marks. A giant, spiny durian protruded directly from his rectum, the spikes dripping a revolting mix of flesh and fecal fluids.

He maintained a completely empty gaze, submitting docilely to the groping of the giants surrounding him, like a doll whose soul had been ripped out a long time ago.

Materializing in the middle of this hell, terror flooded Muneichi.

"What the fuck is this place?! Get away from me, you fucking monsters!"

"Look, boys, we've got fresh meat!" The blond giant slowly licked his lips, running a hungry gaze over Muneichi's body. "And chunky. Just the way I like it."

Muneichi tried to stand, but before his knees left the ground, a bald giant had already pounced on him like a missile. A hand the size of a ham grabbed his waist and the other ripped his pants off in a single yank.

And when they did, all four giants stopped dead in their tracks.

It was revealed that Muneichi possessed a curious genetic trait: between his legs hung an exceptionally large set of equipment that bore no proportion whatsoever to the rest of his pudgy body.

Upon discovering it, the eyes of all four lit up like a child's in front of a new toy, and they closed the circle around him. Muneichi could feel the hot breath of each one hitting his skin from four different directions.

"I was expecting a saggy old man, but you're packing a fire hose!"

"Oh, baby, that's one spectacular piece of sausage!"

"Out of my way, I get the first bite!"

An avalanche of obscenities flooded his ears, each phrase worse than the last, each comment more graphic, more hungry, more impossible to ignore.

He screamed, begged, cursed, prayed to gods he'd never believed in, but no one came.

The giant with the bandana on his head shoved his way past the others with a brutal elbow, grabbed Muneichi's equipment with a firm hand and began devouring it savagely, without the slightest subtlety or consideration.

"Swallow, swallow it to the base, little bro! Scream that you love it!" the blond egged on from behind, clapping encouragement.

"Mhhp... aaghhh... mhhppp!"

Muneichi's dignity disintegrated in a matter of seconds. The man who barely an hour ago thought himself untouchable was now nothing more than a meat toy in the hands of creatures that didn't know the meaning of the word mercy.

Between gasps, tears, and snot, he managed to choke out the only words he had left as bargaining chips:

"I-I'LL TELL YOU WHERE THE ANTIDOTE IS! THE REAL ONE! JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
