Instant Arrest

As witnesses to this incident, we brothers also had to take a trip to the police station to give a statement.

More than one police car had arrived. The homeless man, as a suspect, was put in shiny silver handcuffs and sat alone in a police car under heavy guard. The middle-aged man who was looking for his daughter also got his own car. The four of us were split into two cars as well, Yukino and Saber in one, and Exusiai and I in the other.

The car door slammed shut. Sitting in the back of a police car had a unique atmosphere. If I remember correctly, this was the first time in my life I had ever ridden in one.

The handsome, wheat-skinned female officer sat in the front passenger seat, while another male officer drove.

Exusiai, sitting next to me, whispered, “I’m a little sleepy.”

Her words made me involuntarily cover my mouth and let out a small yawn. “Hah… huu, it’s so late, of course, I’m sleepy too…”

Even though we had lowered our voices, in the small, enclosed space of the police car, the two officers in the front could definitely hear us.

The wheat-skinned female officer turned her head to look at us and said in her low, commanding voice, “It’ll be a while before we get to the station. You can sleep for a bit.”

“Oh, oh… okay.” Talking to such a handsome and imposing female officer in a police car made me quite nervous, so I just gave a soft reply.

The female officer turned back without another thought, and the car started moving. I felt Exusiai’s body lean towards me.

I looked at her, confused. I saw her pat her own shoulder with her slender white hand, her one visible eye curving into a smile. The meaning was clear: she wanted me to rest my head on her shoulder and sleep.

To be honest, in all my life, apart from sleeping on my parents’ shoulders as a child, I had never leaned on anyone else. In the past, when I took the bus and saw couples in the seats in front of me leaning on each other, sleeping sweetly, I could only cross my arms over my stomach like an indestructible vajra who could get through life on his own, and lean back against the hard seat.

But now, seeing Exusiai’s slender shoulder so close, a slightly unfamiliar feeling welled up in my heart.

Warm, sweet, and a little shy… this feeling made my heart race.

So I didn’t say anything. I pursed my thin lips and didn’t look at Exusiai, but my little head was very honest and rested on her shoulder.

…This one’s shoulders are so thin, all bones. It’s not comfortable at all.

As I thought this, my little head snuggled into Exusiai’s shoulder, my head pressing against her soft neck. A trace of peace slowly entered my heart.

However, with Exusiai’s skills, it would never be that simple. After my little head found its place in the crook of her neck, her soft, slender arm wrapped around from behind my delicate waist, pulling me, who had only been leaning against her, completely into her embrace.

Her body was really thin. Through the soft, smooth skin, I could easily feel the delicate, craft-like bones beneath. But it was this body, supported by its frame, that pressed tightly against my skin, transferring her body heat to me, filling the void in my heart.

My chest was filled with something warm, a sense of security and satisfaction I had never felt before flooding my soul. I snuggled against Exusiai a few more times like a sloth, my hands wrapped around her soft waist, my chest pressing against her delicate ribs and the soft side of her chest. For the first time, I fell asleep so peacefully.

…

“Kiriko… Kiriko…”

I don’t know how much time had passed, but I heard someone calling my name in the darkness. The voice was ethereal and muffled, as if coming from across a body of water.

I groggily opened my eyes. As my consciousness slowly cleared, my hearing returned to normal.

Exusiai was saying to me in her crisp voice, “Kiriko, we’re at the police station.”

“Oh…” I was still drowsy, the same feeling as when you want to stay in bed in the morning. I clung to Exusiai’s slender body like I would a warm blanket, unwilling to get up.

Then I felt something was wrong. The hand that Exusiai had wrapped around me before I fell asleep had once again slipped into my clothes. And this time, it wasn’t just my clothes. Half of her palm was tucked into the waistband of my pants. This waistband was like a national border, dividing the upper and lower halves of her delicate palm.

Her palm was soft and warm, probably warmed by my body heat, completely lacking the previous cool, smooth feeling. It was very comfortable against my skin, but the position was not ideal.

We were in a police car that had just come to a stop, and the two officers in the front hadn’t even gotten out yet. I couldn’t just shout at her for taking advantage of me while I was asleep, for making me feel so good. Otherwise, if the two officers in the front arrested me on the spot for indecency, it would be all over.

Instant arrest!

To be honest, in the spirit of mutual benefit and a win-win situation, I certainly didn’t mind her doing these things to me. But you have to consider the occasion, right? To do this in a police car, it was just too…

…too exciting!

By the way, which step of Exusiai’s “Nine-Step Slay” was this? How many more steps until I was slain beneath her thighs??

“We’re here.” The female officer’s handsome and steady, commanding voice pulled me out of my chaotic thoughts. I was suddenly wide awake. I puffed out my cheeks and pretended to glare at Exusiai. But she, without any shame, brought her pretty face close, rubbed her delicate cheek against my puffy one, and then deflated me.

After Exusiai nonchalantly pulled her hand out of my clothes and pants, I finally pushed the door open and got out of the car.

It was a little cold after leaving Exusiai’s embrace, and the chilly night wind outside added another layer of cold.

The emaciated, almost deformed homeless man was being supported by the police. But after being put in handcuffs, he seemed to have calmed down a bit.

Me, Exusiai, Yukino, Saber, and the middle-aged man who had lost his daughter were not restrained in any way, just brought into the police station as witnesses.

The homeless man was taken to another area by the police. The four of us and the middle-aged man went to the same area, and were then separated into two rooms. The man in one, and the four of us in another.

Bright, white light shone down from above. The one in charge of taking our statement was the same handsome, wheat-skinned female officer.

She first carefully got us a few cups of hot water from the water dispenser and placed them in front of us before sitting down behind a laptop. She looked at us, her commanding voice holding a unique charm. “We received a call. The caller claimed to be a viewer of your stream and said that you accidentally discovered a malicious incident during your broadcast. Please tell me everything you saw after entering that abandoned dormitory building, in chronological order and in detail.”

I nodded and exchanged glances with Yukino and the others. We all felt a little troubled.

If this had been an ordinary, man-made malicious incident, there would be nothing to say. We would just tell them everything from beginning to end. But the problem was, this incident was mixed with many supernatural phenomena. The vengeful spirit of the girl who had fallen from the building was the true culprit. How was I supposed to explain that to the police?

—You might not believe this, but it was all the work of a ghost, Officer!

If I really told the police that, I would probably have a bed waiting for me in the city’s mental hospital tomorrow.

The police obviously hadn’t watched our stream; they had only heard some basic information from the caller. If they had watched the stream, of course, they wouldn’t need to question us like this. So even if I told them everything, would the calm female officer in front of me really believe it?
