Chapter 666:
En Passant Grandmaster
Iori drooled with pleasure as she twitched on Okisato's bed. "Heh, that warm rubber... It was better than in Budapest," she giggled as Okisato draped her in the blankets.
"Hope you're not too high-maintenance," Okisato grumbled as he dragged over a futon.
"Depends on how tight that rubber was. If it kept it all in, you're in the clear."
"And care to explain why you're so- No, I've already got an idea of why. You're afraid you might never get to experience motherhood."
A somber smile spread on Iori's face. "You just keep seeing through me. With the kind of stuff I've done, I feel like normal things like getting to raise a kid or two is something I'd be denied somehow. Even with my folks, they were good parents, but in their youth, bullies. They did some really bad stuff, but were always sticking by each other. Then when I was born, I was the center of attention. Then Miga was born, then fucking Segawa ruined everything."
"And because your parents bullied him, he sought revenge via his newfound political power as prefectural governor. Then as a result, you turned to killing in order to get back at him."
"And got addicted to it, thanks in no small part to that company that always paid for a kill regardless of who it was."
"What company was it?"
"Hmm, think it was just, The Company. Never saw any faces, just got cash in an envelope every time my kills were confirmed by the authorities. And young me didn't have a danger sense, so I just thought, "Free money, woo"."
Okisato made a mental note.
"So uh, gonna join me?"
"After what I already did? You sure are persistent."
"Don't like persistent women?"
"Yes and no."
"Hmm?"
"Guess I should tell you a bit about my mother. She was my grandfather's daughter, and was highly intelligent. However, my grandfather didn't see her as more than a tool for political marriage, thus he greatly restricted her freedom. My mother wanted to be a rocket scientist so badly, that to achieve that, she became the most violent delinquent of the early 2000s, and conquered the entire prefecture before finally getting arrested. Yet all that was part of her plan, as she managed to finally gain the leverage she wanted over my grandfather and achieve her dream job. She was forced to marry my father, but considering she had what she wanted, she didn't really care."
"Your mom was a delinquent scientist?"
"Yeah, and she even bore the same tattoo as me on her back, or should I say, I bear the same one she originally created."
"Shit, that's deep."
"Now do you want me to bring you back home wrapped up in the blanket, or are you gonna try and barter with Otona for clothes? I want to go out."
"After all that action!? Damn, do you ever get tired?"
"Rarely."
Iori smiled as she slowly sat up. "Date after sex is wild. But I like wild like you."
