Chapter 47:
Spice of life [Remake]
Rika scowled as she recognized two high schoolers standing outside by the entrance. "The hell are you two doing here? I thought school didn't get out till 3?" Rika glared.
"I wanted a bite for lunch. Just a bunch of milk n honey, to-go," Hasue sneered.
Hasue was clad in her high school uniform and was pulling a wagon containing two human sized boxes. Alongside her was a girl that looked nearly identical to her clad in a high school tracksuit and wearing large glasses. The other girl was none other than Rika's younger sister as well as Hasue's twin, Muku.
Rika grumbled and immediately ran to the back and quickly returned with a jar of honey and a carton of milk.
"Ri-nee, you are a genius!" Muku exclaimed as she grabbed all the food.
"What for?" Rika growled.
"For your advancements in humiliation science!"
"HUH!?"
"Your humiliation of Ni-nee and Ichi-nee was glorious!" Muku snickered.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to shave you just as bald on our birthday tomorrow," Hasue sneered as she ruffled Muku's long orange hair.
"How could you! I'll look hideous!" Muku blushed.
Muku was the youngest child of the Korosekai family by 2 minutes as well as the mad scientist of the family. Despite never having killed anyone, she had no problem building weapons that could kill people, nor people killing for her. She was also a bit of a masochist.
"Heh, it's gonna be glorious. I'm gonna shave her bald in front of the whole class. Well, assuming my shitty science teacher doesn't expel me," Hasue sneered as she kicked one of the crates she was transporting.
The sides fell to reveal a young woman in a black suit standing with a gun drawn. Her face looked stoic, but her eyes appeared to be moving around frantically as muffled cries could be heard from her sealed lips.
"This is my science teacher's daughter. Since he said he wouldn't give me an extension on my science project, I'm gonna subject his daughter to a new one. See I've encased her in thin layer of wax, to keep her from moving or screaming; then I'm gonna cover her in all this milk and honey to see how many bugs will swarm her and how long she'll last," Hasue maliciously sneered.
The muffled cries from the woman grew louder as Rika glared at the twins. "And you think I'm gonna just let you two waltz out of here!?" Rika glared.
"Oh, we also snagged a cute girl you might know and turned her into a wax sculpture," Hasue sneered as she kicked open the other box.
Inside was Matcha, clad in her typical casual attire. Muffled screams emanated from her sealed lips as her eyes darted around frantically.
"Matcha!? The hell did you do to her!?" Rika glared.
"Just sealed that loud mouth of hers and made her a wax woman," Hasue sneered before vanishing along with Muku, Matcha, the woman, and the food Rika had given them.
"Those little shits," Rika glared as she prepared to give chase.
"Huh? Why are you so angry Rika?" Waki asked as she stepped out.
"My little sisters kidnapped Matcha and some other woman and encased them in wax. I'm going after them."
"WHAT!? THOSE SHITS ARE DEAD!"
...
In a park, the woman in the suit began to sob as Hasue began encasing her in milk and honey.
"Hey Muku, think she's a cop?" Hasue maliciously mused.
"Quite possible. She recognized us and had a gun. That, and unlike an underworld killer, mentioned taking us into custody," Muku theorized.
"Guess she could also be a private guard or a government agent. Oh, look at that, I can see some bugs buzzing over." The woman's eyes widened in horror as a fly began to buzz around her. "Now onto you, Matcha-chan," Hasue snickered as she turned to a terrified Matcha.
"Mmph ngh mmph!" Matcha tearfully pleaded.
"Wazzat? Sorry need ya to speak up a bit. Though if ya don't wanna help with my science project, just walk away," Hasue sneered as she dumped milk all over Matcha.
"And would you like some honey?" Muku sneered as she handed Hasue the remaining honey.
"Yeah-GAH!" Hasue screamed as she suddenly felt a great pain in her gut and was sent flying into a nearby tree. She then fell to the ground unconscious as Rika suddenly appeared.
"What a vicious kick! Ri-nee, you-UGHAAAH!" Muku groaned as she too was kicked into the tree. "So... brutal... Ri-nee," Muku groaned as she fell unconscious.
"Well, at least those two are out. Guess I better try freeing Matcha and whoever this is," Rika sighed as she pulled out a lighter.
...
"Well, you both can at least talk again," Rika nervously stated.
"RIKA! YOUR SISTERS ARE EVIL! THEY KIDNAPPED ME AND TRIED TO TURN ME INTO A WAX STATUTE! WAAAHHHHH!" Matcha cried.
"If you think saving me will persuade me to let you all go free, you're wrong," the woman in the suit glared.
"Uh, come again?" Rika glared.
"You and your sisters are vicious underworld killers! How do I know this isn't merely a farce!?"
"Then why would I save you?"
"To- to... WHATEVER I don't trust you!"
"You know I only managed to free your mouth, so I could just take you somewhere no one would find you."
"GEH! I can still scream-MMPH!?"
"And here I thought I'd do a good deed," Rika grumbled as she covered the woman's mouth with her hand.
"Rika, please don't kill her!" Matcha glared as she calmed down.
"I don't need to. I can just slap some tape on her mouth and drop her in a dumpster. Or interrogate her somewhere else."
Suddenly, Waki appeared holding some blowtorches. "I brought these, now let me free Matcha," she glared as she quickly began melting the wax around Matcha.
"AHHHH! YOU'RE GONNA BURN ME!" Matcha screamed.
"Nah, I wouldn't burn even a hair off you. And... you're all free," Waki smiled.
"BLEH! My hair and clothes feel all goopy!" Matcha trembled as she was able to move again.
"Now who's the- HUH!? SIS!?" Waki gasped as she noticed the other woman.
"Sis!? Wait, SHE'S your sister!?" Rika shouted.
"Yeah, her name's Wakaha. She works in the government."
"Oh right, you mentioned that."
"W- WAKI!? W- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!?" Wakaha shouted as Rika uncovered her mouth.
"That's my line, why the hell are you just standing here covered in milk and honey?" Waki asked.
"I was captured and encased in wax by the little demons by the tree."
"Why?"
"Hasue said it's because she's her science teacher's daughter," Rika sighed.
"Ugh, must be his infamous end of the semester science project. Our old man's infamous for assigning a high-level project with a tight deadline. Also refuses to give extensions and grades harshly. Takes pleasure in it too," Waki groaned.
"Ugh, the hell was the kick for Rika-nee-nee!?" Hasue groaned as she and Muku struggled to get up.
Before Hasue could make another move, Waki slammed her face first into the ground, knocking her out once more. "So, tell me what happened, and why you dared to land a hand on Sis and Matcha!" Waki glared as she stood atop Hasue and flashed a poison needle at Muku.
"She might want you to throw that at her," Rika sighed.
"I may be somewhat of a masochist, but that doesn't mean I'm a full-blown masochist, Muku glared as she adjusted her glasses.
"So, then mind telling us why you did all this?"
"Our science project was due today and Hasue failed to complete hers- er, rather she technically did, but the teacher forwarded it to the police and gave her an automatic fail. Though his mood only worsened when he was forced to give me a passing grade for my project. I then aided Ha-nee in finding some blackmail to try and sway the sensei. She leaped at kidnapping his daughter and we went with that. We captured her and encased her in wax and then we kidnapped Matcha on the way went to your place."
"You know, you actually are kind of decent."
"Why?"
"Unlike the rest of the family, you haven't killed anyone."
"Not directly at least. My weapons of mass destruction have killed millions. I'm the weakest with my fists, so I use my brain to kill. Some of my plans I give to Ha-nee. We aren't twins for nothing," Muku darkly smirked.
"I see, so you're no better. In that case, have fun in prison," Rika glared as she slugged Muku in the stomach.
She then bound and gagged Muku and Hasue to the tree. "MMPH NGH MMPH!" the two protested.
"Sorry your asses are going to prison. Well, you were long overdue to go there anyway," Rika glared as she knocked Hasue and Muku out once more.
"Well, guess we're gonna be spending some time reuniting while you melt out," Waki smiled as she picked up Wakaha.
"Waki! Put me down!" Wakaha shouted.
"Relax, I'm taking ya back to the restaurant. Just don't cause Rika any trouble, she's livin an honest life."
"Honest life!? You know she's the reason I've been stuck in this stingy job for years."
"I thought you liked it."
"I can't get wild! You on the other hand have plenty of freedom. You even got a mohawk. A freaking mohawk!"
"Want one?"
"Hell no! I'd look like an idiot and my boss would just shave it off! So... are you still killing?"
"Not really. Rika's the one to thank for that."
"How?"
"That kill she stole."
"The kill? Ah, that’s right. I did find it odd how the agents that caught me weren't treating me as though I had killed their comrade. So, it seems Rika quelled their wrath towards me by directing it towards her instead."
"So, uh. Does the government know about me?" Rika nervously asked.
"We know about all assassins, but if you're wondering if a warrant for your arrest will be issued, we lack significant proof to convict you in a court of law nor do we wish to waste resources just to take you down with brute force."
"So, I guess you're fine with me being an honest citizen?"
"For now. Even then, your father does have a faction of supporters within the government, though that likely won't prevent your sisters' arrest and imprisonment.
"No issue there. I hate my family."
...
"And what is this?" Masaru glared as he noticed Waki placing Wakaha down in the changing room.
"Uh, Waki's sister. She um, botched her art project," Rika nervously chuckled.
"I found her in the park and thought she'd look great in this corner. Doesn't she spruce up the place?" Waki chuckled.
"I am going to kick your ass for subjecting me to this!" Wakaha glared.
"Anyway, we'll be keeping her here until we can melt her out," Rika nervously stated.
"Why?" Masaru glared.
"I mean, so Waki can reconnect with her, she works in the government and-"
"THE GOVERNMENT!? Rika we can't just-"
"It's fine. She's the one that saved my ass. If anyone asks though, I'm an art student posing as a wax sculpture of a secret agent," Wakaha sighed.
"Guess you'll be needing these then," Waki smiled as she placed some shades on Wakaha.
"Guess we're doing a spy campaign for the rest of the day," Rika grinned.
"By the way, do you happen to know why Matcha hasn't come in today?" Masaru asked.
"Ah, she had a hair emergency and had to swing by her mom's salon."
...
"MOTHER! Why are you scrubbing so hard!?" Matcha cried as Mocha washed her hair in the salon.
"Cuz whatever goop you put in your hair is really sticky. What did you say it was?" Mocha asked.
"Wax. I was kidnapped by Rika's little sisters and encased in wax."
"Oh, then let me heat the water up a bit. Don't worry, I won't fry your scalp."
