Hello there friends. I haven't written anything in quite a long time due to various circumstances that I won't bore you with. I might start writing regularly again in the next days if I feel like it, but don't count on it.

『 Investigation 』

Lately, Emerald has been very stressed due to overexposure to Mercury. Cinder and Neopolitan take the reluctant thief out on a girl's night out, not without consequences of course. Junior Detective Neptune investigates...

"So they forced their way in, disabled the phones, and blocked all of the exits before beginning their operation?"

"YES! And the girl with the funky hair was dragging the poor girl around while the the woman in the dress was whispering to her in that creepy voice. She looked so nervous but I suppose that's to be expected when you're being moved around by notorious criminals for unknown purposes."

"Cinder Fall has been hiring people to rob dust stores recently, but this is the first kidnapping case we've come across. Please go on, anything you remember will help us apprehend these criminals."

"O-Okay then. They hurried her into one of the massage rooms before the brunette one came back out and singled out two of our masseuses, muttering something about girls being better for what she wanted and began whispering in their ears. I thought they were good girls but after a few minutes of listening to her they got these evil smiles before nodding and going into the room. I just don't understand how she could talk two of my sweetest girls into doing her bidding so easily!"

"The reports that state that Cinder is very good with her mouth, although they're unconfirmed. I'll make sure to verify this information personally when we catch her."

The manager just stares at Neptune with an odd look on her face.

"What? Please continue, every second we waste here is another second that poor transfer student could be suffering at their hands!"

"R-Right! So it was about 5 minutes later that the moaning and screaming started! Oh I thought they were such sweet girls but they kept working on that poor girl for over forty-five minutes! The poor girl came out of that room looking so exhausted and worn out!"

Neptune raises an eyebrow, scribbling on his notepad absently. It was likely that the two were long-term accomplices. Ordinary masseuses shouldn't be able to do interrogation and possibly torture. "Interesting. I shall meet those two in private later to see if these skills are natural or if Cinder taught them."

The manager looks at him oddly again before shaking her head and continues. "After they were finished, they picked the lock on the register and took all the money, saying something about maintaining their reputation or something. As they carried the green-haired girl out of the building they were discussing what they should do next. The short girl with the umbrella went to the the ice-cream factory and the two other girls mentioned the Victoria's Secret in the mall downtown."

"This information could be valuable, I'll tell Sun to check out the factory while I personally inspect the location in the mall."

The manager looks amused as she watches Neptune walk out.

Later on, Sun breaks down into a sobbing fit after reading the report while the supervising officer looks like she has a headache when Neptune gives his report before saying he would like to head back to his lab to continue training with his pole and check his file collection for more evidence.

And thus began Neptune's reputation as a raging pervert and his private collections rise to infamy...
