Chapter 479. Heading to the Peak: The Ascent. (2/5)
Rosa pulled out her phone, held it up in front of me, and let a video play. Depicted in it was exactly what she described. A freezer, her forcibly breaking it open, and… a bunch of frozen organs in plastic packaging filled with preservative fluid.
What this doctor was involved in was exactly what I feared. Illegal organ harvesting. But… it didn’t seem he was the one doing the harvesting going off of what was in the footage.
There were foreign characters on the packaging. Rather than the deed being done in this country, it seemed they were importing them from overseas. It seemed this operation was much bigger than just this doctor. He was at best one of many buyers dealing in shady business transactions using this underground supply of organs as leverage.
Right after Rosa opened the freezer, a loud alarm went off alerting the others in the room that something was off. It was exactly as Rosa said, but I noticed something bizarre. She didn’t immediately flee. Rather than escape, she picked up one of the packages inside the freezer and did something with it off-camera.
“Rosa, why didn’t you immediately run away? Why’d you pick up one of the packages? You’re not going to tell me you took it with you, right?”
“No way. The reason I picked one up was to slip a small tracker into one of the packages before I made my escape. Thankfully… I was quick enough. They had guns and we just barely avoided getting a few bullets in our backs thanks to the versatility and speed of your motorcycle inside those tunnels. It was a close call, to say the least. We were really dancing with the grim reaper there. Master was even in tears while driving us away.”
“Who can blame her? Your plan was insane. I’d definitely be crying too.”
“Hehehe, Master was really cute though. I couldn’t help myself. Look, I even got a few good pictures of us together mid-escape to commemorate the occasion, our first collaboration as fellow assassins.”
Rosa swiped left on the screen. Depicted was Rosa holding up a peace sign with her left hand while sticking out her phone over Wisteria’s right shoulder to capture both of them in frame. Wisteria looked like she was screaming something out with tears at the corner of her eyes. Rosa, on the other hand, looked like she was having a blast laughing with a wide smile. But… the scariest part of the picture was definitely the sparks on the wall behind them. The picture was captured directly outside the hidden passage.
That... poor little sister of mine… I’m really going to have to treat her to something good after what she’s been through. I couldn’t help but feel extremely apologetic. I sincerely apologize on behalf of my weird crazy adrenaline junkie girlfriend.
“So… you got away and used that tracker to find where they moved to next?”
“Exactly. By the time we got back to Dawn’s place, it was late in the night. We were able to get a few hours of rest before we had to head back out once the tracker signal came online early in the morning once they started moving out their goods.”
She played another video while she continued her explanation.
“We took Dawn’s truck this time so we could get up onto the wall and record everything from a safe distance. As you can see, we even got some good footage of the doctor on-site too. Everything. So he’s officially been implicated. From there we railed them using the tracker to their new facility and confirmed them offloading their goods.”
“I see. And you’ve provided an anonymous tip to the police with all the evidence already?”
“Yep. It shouldn’t be long before that doctor is taken in for questioning once the police verify all the intel we provided them. He’ll likely be behind bars in the next few days.”
“Haaaaah. I just hope Aurelia doesn’t somehow get dragged into this considering she’s a surgeon who’s likely, though unknowingly, been performing operations with illegally harvested organs.”
“Jeez, don’t be such a downer. Let’s not think about the overly complicated stuff for now and just enjoy the rest of our vacation.”
“Yeah, you’re right. But we really got tangled up in something absurd again, didn’t we?”
“It was pretty fun though.”
“Your definition of fun is truly beyond me.”
“You know, it’s your own fault for dating a girl brought up as an assassin~”
When she poked my cheek playfully, I couldn’t help but lean closer to her and kiss her. She closed her eyes halfway and didn’t resist as our tongues naturally intertwined.
The ambiance in the air had gotten to me. If we stayed here tonight, I think I might lose control... and I’d… likely cross that final line with Rosa. Somehow, today, she looked even more tempting than usual despite there not being anything particularly different about her. She was her usual flirtatious self.
The only thing different was the ambiance. She smelled too good to keep away.
Before I even realized it, the sun had set. We’d been making out for an hour.
I couldn’t help it though, she tasted too good. Sweet, like an addictive drug I couldn’t get enough of.
Rosa’s right hand slid down over my chest and wandered lower until it stopped on my groin. When our lips parted she whispered suggestively in my ear, “Do you want to do it… and go all the way?”
Her warm breath blowing into my ear sent shivers down my back. The hair on my body stood on ends.
“I did promise that.”
“I’m not asking about the promise. Forget that promise, I’m asking if you want to finally do it with me or not.”
“I… do.”
…
When I came to next, it was morning.
The sun should have already been up, but it was dark.
I had an awful headache.
My body was sore.
My mouth was dry.
Unbearably dry.
Why was that?
It was to the degree I questioned whether I’d been stranded in a desert for days without any water.
Was I hungover?
What happened to me?
I tried to recall the night before, but I was drawing a blank. I’d never drank alcohol before and I doubt I started last night.
What the hell happened?
Why can’t I remember?
Also, why’s it so dark?
Only now did I realize I’d been sleeping with my mouth open.
When I tried to speak, I felt something on my tongue and finally realized there was something in my mouth.
It was smooth, a bundled-up ball of fabric.
When I blinked I felt the resistance of my eyelashes brushing against something. I raised my hand up, touched my face, and solved the mystery behind why it was still so dark.
When I raised it up a bit away from my face with my right hand, light leaked through the gap from below. This was... Rosa’s top? It was a bit damp. Why was it covering my head?
Actually, where’s Rosa?
When I tried to move my sore body, the answer became apparent.
I tilted my head forward and looked down.
On my left side, there was a bulge in the sleeping bag. I took a peek inside and understood… nothing.
Both her arms were wrapped around my waist from the side and her right cheek was pressed up against my chest. She was peacefully breathing in and out with an extremely content look on her face.
Up to that point, there was nothing I was unused to.
What was the nail in the coffin was our appearance.
She was completely nude…
As was I...
Huh. No, I mean. We came out here with this exact sort of thing in mind. It was our entire objective, the purpose of this whole trip. We were guaranteed to go all the way for the first time when we got here. That much was certain. There was nothing strange about this situation at all then.
We… did it.
But… I didn’t remember it!
No. No. No. No.
There’s no way I can’t remember it.
But this was reality, I couldn’t.
Isn’t this... like really bad?
