Chapter 257: I Am the Accomplice, I Have Always Been

Upon hearing Director Muto's words, Takamine Ayako handed the documents back to him.

Director Muto, frowning, began examining them with a serious expression.

On the surface, Director Muto was checking the contents of the documents to determine whether they were mistakenly brought. But in reality, he wasn't paying attention to the so-called documents in his hands at all, he was secretly observing Takamine Ayako's condition.

His current goal, of course, was to stall for time until the effects of the potent aphrodisiac given to him by Kitou Masami took hold.

Meanwhile, Takamine Ayako, who was watching Director Muto review the documents, began to sense that her own state seemed somewhat different from usual. She felt inexplicably restless.

Moreover, Takamine Ayako noticed her body growing increasingly hotter, as if a blazing furnace were placed beside her, relentlessly scorching her.

'Hot! So hot!', Takamine Ayako felt her entire body burning up, with sweat continuously pouring from her fair, delicate skin.

Unable to bear it any longer, she lifted her slender, jade-like hands and began fanning her flushed, burning cheeks.

At the same time, she couldn't help but anxiously urge Director Muto, who had been dawdling for a while, "How much longer are you going to take, Director Muto?"

Takamine Ayako couldn't understand how Director Muto could spend nearly ten minutes reading just a few pages.

In response to her urging, Director Muto only gave a perfunctory reply, "Almost done! I'll finish soon!"

Despite his words, Director Muto showed no sign of finishing the thin stack of documents.

This made Takamine Ayako, whose body was growing increasingly feverish, urge him several more times.

A few more minutes passed, and with the passage of time, Takamine Ayako's body grew even hotter, as if set ablaze.

"Director Muto, are you done yet?", The urgency in her voice no longer carried the same vigor as before. Instead, it sounded somewhat weak and breathy.

This sensation made Takamine Ayako herself extremely uncomfortable.

But to Director Muto's ears, it excited him immensely.

Clearly, the aphrodisiac given by Kitou Masami was taking effect.

Though Kitou Masami was unreliable, the dr*g seemed genuinely potent.

Stealing a glance at Takamine Ayako, whose beautiful face was now flushed like a ripe apple, and hearing her weak, breathy voice, Director Muto couldn't contain his excitement.

After all, Takamine Ayako's feeble voice sounded to him like a coquettish,sultry-like tone.

Compared to her usual cold, stern demeanor as the aloof female teacher, the contrast was unbearably thrilling.

"Almost done! Almost done! I'll finish these documents soon!", Hearing Takamine Ayako's repeated urging, Director Muto's voice now betrayed his excitement as he shouted.

Seeing Director Muto still dragging his feet, Takamine Ayako couldn't take it anymore, "Director Muto, just tell me directly, who is Kitou Masami's accomplice… who is it… mmm…?"

Takamine Ayako didn't know what was happening to her. It felt like she had a fever, her forehead was burning, her body was scorching, and her limbs were weak and limp.

As she spoke the last few words, an involuntary tremble escaped her nose.

The shaky moan startled even herself.

Could it be… she was running a fever?

Just as Takamine Ayako, her mind already foggy, tried to gather her thoughts,

Director Muto on the other side could no longer hold back.

That coquettish moan from Takamine Ayako was like an aphrodisiac to any man.

To Takamine Ayako's astonishment, Director Muto suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Takamine-sensei, you really want to know who Kitou Masami's accomplice is, don't you?", Director Muto's lips curled into a cold smirk as he spoke.

Takamine Ayako nodded, "Yes! Who is that guy's accomplice… who is it?"

As Takamine Ayako stared intently at Director Muto, she suddenly noticed something strange, he was staring just as intently at her face.

Takamine Ayako saw Director Muto's fat, ugly face twist into a sinister grin, his eyes filled with greed as they raked over her.

"Kitou's accomplice… is me!", Director Muto chuckled darkly, his gaze devouring Takamine Ayako's curvaceous figure beneath her office skirt.

Hearing this, Takamine Ayako froze for a moment before her eyes widened in shock.

She glared at Director Muto and shouted angrily, "You? It was you?"

"No wonder Kitou Masami was able to return as a groundskeeper after being fired the first time!"

"No wonder Kitou Masami, an outsider, had Serizawa's home address!"

"So you were the one behind him!"

"Now everything makes sense!"

"You were the one who handled his paperwork both times!"

"You damned bastard! As a teacher, you colluded with a criminal to harm your own students, you're a monster!"

"I'm calling the police to have you arrested!"

After hearing Director Muto's words, Takamine Ayako was first stunned, then quickly pieced everything together.

Though her body felt extremely unwell, she still pointed at Director Muto and berated him loudly.

Facing Takamine Ayako's scolding, Director Muto sneered disdainfully, "Hmph, the only reason Kitou targeted her was because that Serizawa Yukiha girl was such a s*ut. She caught Kitou Masami's attention first, that's why I cooperated with him."

"And if it weren't for you, always acting so high and mighty, just a regular teacher yet constantly disrespecting me, the director, even trying to take my position, making me furious, would I have worked with him?"

"This whole mess is your fault, you and that other shameless woman, including you, you bit*h!"

"Heh! But don't worry, I'll forgive you."

"Because soon, everything about you… will belong to me."

Director Muto's face twisted with perverse glee as his lustful eyes roamed over Takamine Ayako's stunning face and voluptuous figure. Especially when his gaze landed on her plump thighs, encased in black stockings beneath her office skirt, his expression turned utterly lecherous, a strand of drool escaping his lips.

"The dr*g should've taken full effect by now, Takamine-sensei. Your body must be burning up, right?", Just as Takamine Ayako was searching for her phone to call the police, she suddenly heard Director Muto's smirking question.

Hearing this, coupled with her increasingly feverish body and blurring vision, Takamine Ayako gradually realized the truth.

"You… you dr*gged me, didn't you? What did you give me?", Takamine Ayako demanded loudly.

Director Muto grinned wickedly, "Heheh! It's a powerful aphrodisiac, even the most chaste woman will turn into a wanton sl*t after taking it."

"Takamine Ayako, oh Takamine Ayako, always acting so righteous, so high and mighty, never showing this director any respect!"

"Today, I'll teach you a proper lesson, how to respect your superiors, and what the authority of a director truly means!"

Chuckling obscenely, Director Muto slowly advanced toward Takamine Ayako, seemingly relishing her panicked expression.

And indeed, Takamine Ayako was at a loss, her face, usually so composed, now showing rare traces of fear.

Normally, she wouldn't fear this fat pig of a director. After all, unlike Kitou Masami (who only someone like Raihiro could handle), Director Muto's flabby body would probably leave him panting after a few moves, in a fight, the outcome was uncertain.

But now, under the influence of the aphrodisiac, her body was weak, her limbs limp, and her mind foggy.

In her current state, even lifting an arm was difficult, let alone putting up a fight.

And the damned aphrodisiac was terrifyingly potent. She could already feel its effects, her entire body scorching as if a furnace were pressed against her.

An intense heat was slowly rising from below, the sensation burning away her clarity of mind.

Yet even so, Takamine Ayako refused to let Director Muto lay a single finger on her.

The thought of being defiled by this disgusting pig filled her with despair.

She'd never been in a relationship, never even held hands with a man. And now, she might be violated by someone like him.

If this were truly her fate, she'd rather die.

Takamine Ayako tried to bite her tongue, but even her teeth and tongue felt weak.

She realized she could do nothing but lie there helplessly, at the mercy of others.

And this was her own home, no one would notice what was happening inside.

In her current state, she couldn't even scream for help.

Her situation now seemed even more dire than when Kitou Masami had cornered her at the Serizawa household.

A wave of despair spread through her heart. Though she was strong-willed and righteous, Takamine Ayako couldn't help but feel panic creeping in.

Watching Takamine Ayako's fearful expression, Director Muto couldn't suppress a grin, he felt he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.

"You sl*t, with such a lewd body, yet always pretending to be so righteous."

"Hmph, soon I'll have you begging, let's see if you can keep up that act then!"

"Takamine-sensei, here I come!!!"

With an excited shout, Director Muto rushed toward Takamine Ayako, who was now half-collapsed in her chair.

The sight of the beautiful, aloof teacher at his mercy set his blood boiling.

Mid-charge, he couldn't resist letting out a cry as he lunged forward. But before his obese body could land on Takamine Ayako, a foot suddenly shot out from the side—

—and sent him flying.

THUD!

Director Muto's blubbery frame slammed into the wall with a heavy crash.

A figure now stood where Director Muto had been.

Takamine Ayako, who had mustered her last ounce of strength to shift her body and avoid Director Muto's lunge, quickly looked up at the newcomer.

"Hikari-kun?", Seeing this sudden savior, the despairing Takamine Ayako's eyes widened in disbelief.

'Him? It's him again?'

Just as she'd resigned herself to her fate, the appearance of Hikari brought overwhelming relief.

Her cheeks flushed, her mind already hazy from the aphrodisiac, her large eyes glazed with a misty sheen, only a sliver of clarity allowed her to recognize that familiar, handsome face.

This sudden turn of events was almost too much to believe. Were it not for Director Muto's pained groans from where he'd been kicked away, Takamine Ayako might've thought she was hallucinating from the feverish heat.

Though she didn't understand why Hikari would appear here now, the sight of his youthful, chiseled features washed away her despair like a receding tide.

An indescribable sense of safety warmed her heart.

Her tense body finally relaxed. No longer forcing itself to hold on. Because Takamine Ayako trusted that with Hikari here, everything would be resolved. She would be safe.

Despite their limited interactions, for some reason, Takamine Ayako held an inexplicable fondness and trust for Hikari.

"Takamine-sensei, are you alright?", Hikari approached the nearly-sliding-off-her-chair Takamine Ayako, steadying her wobbling form and gently lowering her to the floor.

"Hikari-kun… I…", Though she seemed to want to say something, Takamine Ayako's mind was too far gone, her pink lips parting only to emit disjointed syllables.

Then, the corners of her mouth curled into a faint, dazed smile, her expression a mix of joy, relief, and something else entirely.
