Room Escape ( 2 )

Two minutes were remaining, first Tsumugi used med-kit to heal her painful injury. 

The soothing feeling passed through her as the injury disappeared as if it was never there, there was no scab, no sign, nothing. 

There wasn't even a bloodstain remaining. 

Now only a minute was remaining and Tsumugi had no plan to waste her time, so she started searching again. 

She once again looked inside the drawer which she hadn't checked perfectly. 

She was very thorough in search, but still causing her to find nothing. 

She then looked inside the lower drawer. 

There were three drawers in total at her table. 

There was nothing out of ordinary as this drawer had some of her own documents and an album. 

She knew that there might be something inside these documents. 

So, she went through one by one. 

" There are only 10 seconds remaining. Hand over your 500 points, if you don't wanna experience the pain, " Alex's voice resounded inside the room. 

Tsumugi didn't waste any time and said yes, her points automatically got deducted leaving her with 500 points. 

She could now buy her safety for 10 more minutes only. 

But, she was sure to use these 10 minutes fully! 

She had some breathing time, so she checked each document of hers for a clue. 

She knew that Games like these had clues written at some places or pages. 

She went through everything but found nothing suspicious.

There were only her legal documents regarding her job, there was also a print of her identity certificate, her first national martial arts award certificate, her tax certificate, her marriage certificate and a government travelling pass. 

Tsumugi started looking through the album, but just then she remembered... 

Her marriage certificate was supposed to be kept inside her cupboard locked completely. 

She never wanted to let anyone know that she was actually married to a poor commoner so she never kept her marriage certificate like this in open. 

She stood up and looked at her cupboard, it was still locked. 

She checked her purse, but the key of the cupboard she always kept inside was missing along with every other key attached to that key-chain. 

Tsumugi felt that this was the clue!

She had found something unusual, like that of in the clock! 

This must be the next clue! 

So, she thought that the key of cupboard must be hidden somewhere. 

She decided to go through her table slowly. 

She kept her marriage certificate with herself and started looking through an album. 

It was an old album consisting of her childhood photos. 

The photography had already advanced, but many people still liked to keep hardcopies of their memories. 

Tsumugi was one of them. 

She looked at the first photo, it showed the baby Tsumugi who was only 1 day old. 

" You look very cute in that photo, " Alex commented while still being invisible. 

But, Tsumugi just snorted hatefully and turned the pages.

She looked at each photo and looked for anything weird that could point at clues. 

But soon, sure enough she started finding something weird... 

Not in photos... 

Rather in herself... 

She looked at herself in school uniform, crying at her pet dog's funeral. 

But, she couldn't remember anything about it. 

No, rather she couldn't remember anything before the age of 11.

Tsumugi's heart clenched in fear, as she turned pages to look back at those images. 

There was one where she was sitting on a horse with her father looking at her gently. 

She had seen this photo just a minute ago, but she couldn't remember ever being in such a scenario neither she remembered anything about this photo. 

It was as if she was looking at someone else's photo for the first time ever. 

But, she knew that this girl in the photo was herself and the man in the photo was her father. 

Their facial expressions looked younger, but they matched! 

Tsumugi threw away the album and said with a voice full of fear, " What did you do to me? I can't remember anything of my younger age!? "

A soft chuckle was heard, followed by Alex's voice, " Hehe, You are quite interesting, so I'll tell you. There are traps in this room. The album was one of them. If you had seen all photos in it, then you would have forgotten everything and become just an empty doll. "

Tsumugi glared while looking at the empty space in front of her, " Give them back to me! "

" You can have them by spending 250 points also you only got 5 minutes before the next wave of pain, " Alex said, Tsumugi knew that he was smiling even though she couldn't see him. 

Tsumugi had no plans to waste her points now, her memories of that time weren't important. 

She stopped wasting her time and looked at the last drawer. 

There was a med kit in it! 

Tsumugi quickly pick pocketed it and looked for other things. 

She found a key!

The key was small. But still she decided to try it. 

She tried it on door, but it was not for that. 

She then checked the cupboard, but no luck. 

She knew that she had to use this somewhere. 

With only 3 minutes remaining before she had to handover all of her points, she started panicking. 

She felt her heart racing and she herself was sweating all over. 

As time slowly passed she became more agitated. 

She was all alone in the room, with her student who might potentially be a Ghost. 

After done checking three drawers, Tsumugi looked at the table from every direction. 

But there was nothing. 

One minute remaining to hand over points. 

Tsumugi felt her head aching. So, she decided to take a small break of a minute. 

She sat down on the chair where Alex was seating and took a deep breath while closing her eyes. 

She went through everything she had collected and came to one conclusion. 

Her room wasn't changed. Everything was where it was. 

It's just that new items were added here and there or things were locked. 

She contemplated over where next clue can be. 

" Time to pay up sensei! " Came Alex's cheerful voice. 

Tsumugi just said, " Take them. "

" Done~ "

As soon as Alex said so, Tsumugi stabbed right in front of her with screwdriver in her hands. 

She thrusted it, as if to stab someone. 

She knew that Alex was just hiding by being invisible. So, she was betting on killing him.

She was sure that he was in front of her, as she had heard his voice from right in front of her. 

But- 

She felt as if something being stabbed and then she was forcefully pushed back. 

A painful moan of Alex came as his invisibility became undone. 

He was bleeding from his stomach while holding that injury. 

" Fuck you bitch... I'll kill you... " Alex said as he kneeled down. 

Tsumugi felt herself shuddering in fear as she looked at the sharp end of screwdriver pierced inside Alex's gut. 

She looked at Alex who was breathing heavily and soon he stopped breathing. 

Tsumugi felt a weird chill course through her body. She had never killed someone. 

This experience made her terrified... 

Her tears flowed out as she started sobbing while holding her face in her hands. 

She felt terrible, as she killed someone for the first time. 

She had killed a young boy who was also her student. 

But, she then wiped her tears and stood up. 

She had to get out of here. 

She went to the door and tried to open it. 

But for her shock, the door was still locked. 

She was beyond terrified, as she had thought that the door will open if Alex died. 

But, she calmed down. She knew that she had a lecture in afternoon. So, someone was going to come looking for her. So, she decided to wait, but looking at the corpse inside the room she wanted to leave this creepy place as soon as possible. 

And like this... 

Almost 10 minutes passed. 

" Time to pay up! Only 10 seconds remaining before the wave of pain! " Alex's cheerful voice came from nowhere.

Tsumugi was jolted awake in surpise as she looked at the 'corpse' which stood up. 

No, he was the Alex... 

There was no injury, no bleeding... 

Tsumugi understood right away what happened. 

" You schemed for this! " She yelled while pointing at Alex with a hateful gaze. 

Alex just casually said, " You're an idiot to think that, a magician like me who can heal any injuries of yours will die just from stab. Even if the supernova fell on this Planet, I'll survive. Anyway, you got 5 seconds. Decide, will you experience that pain or will you buy points from me? "

Alex was by the end of the sentence looking at Tsumugi's sexy figure with unhindered vulgar smirk. 

Tsumugi felt like crying, but she had fallen in this monster's scheme. 

He had planned this to let her have her guard down to strike her. 

His plan worked. 

But, Tsumugi was not ready to do those humiliating things for him. 

She refused directly. 

And then came an unimaginable agony. 

Tsumugi lost all strength within her limbs and helplessly fell on the ground with only painful groans leaking out.

If the pain crosses certain threshold then the person stops feeling anything and everything. 

Tsumugi was in a similar situation, she had lost all sensations in her body. 

Only certain less painful waves caused her to have enough strength to leak out those moans. 

This kept happening for only 10 seconds, but for Tsumugi it was as if eternity had passed.

She just laid silently on the ground, feeling grateful to who knows whom for that agony to have stopped. 

But, she felt a merciless kick in her sides jolting her awake. 

" A note for you my dear Tsumugi, feigning fainting won't let you pass. The clock is ticking, " Said Alex who was invisible. 

Tsumugi was forced to be awake not because of Alex's kick, but because of knowledge that if she didn't do anything then she will have to experience the same thing again. 

She woke up and started looking around again. 

But this time she was in haste. The desperation was written on every action she took. 

The pain had made her haggard. 

Her hair wete disheveled but even this had a charm of its own because of her natural beauty. 

She checked all drawers again, nothing. She checked table, nothing. 

She checked all chairs, still nothing. 

"Only two minutes remaining, " Alex's dreadful voice brought tears in Tsumugi's eyes. 

In desperation, she started begging Alex for mercy, but she got no reply. 

She cried like a little girl, hoping that she could just go back to yesterday and then resign from this job for once and all. 

But, she was now helpless and caged. 

She remembered how yesterday she was given an invitation for a birthday celebration of her friend's child. 

She had even brought a gift. 

Only if, only if she had wasted some more time while doing that, she won't have been in this situation...

Birthday gift------

Tsumugi suddenly felt a shock. 

Her tears dried away as if they were never there, as she scrambled towards her purse. 

There it was!

The birthday gift! 

Tsumugi didn't waste any time and opened it. 

Inside it was a stuff teddy which was supposed to speak some limited words by giving a key. 

Like a maniac, Tsumugi took the small key which she had found previously, and pushed it inside the small hold behind the tail of stuff teddy. 

Only 20 seconds... 

" Happy Birthday~ Happy Birthday~.... One~ One~ One~"

The song played and in the end when it stopped singing it spat out another key! 

Only 10 seconds... 

Tsumugi rushed to the cupboard and opened it and inside from the key that was thrown by the teddy. 

There was a square card inside on the first shelf. 

Tsumugi didn't waste any time as she took the point card which displayed the number 400....

And poof! 

" Time's up! You ready? " Said Alex in a very cheerful voice as if taking pleasure in the ugly situation of Tsumugi.

" You did this on purpose! You kept only 400 here, so that I'll be forced to let you fuck me! You son of a bitch! " Tsumugi cursed while in desperation. 

" Tsk tsk, for a teacher to use vulgar words like those and that also at your own student. Tsk tsk, it makes me wanna fuck you even more, " Said Alex while smiling. 

Alex then continued, " Seems you aren't interested. Then I'll go with normal. The pain will be slightly more than previous time. "

Despair becane clear on Tsumugi's face, as she begged, " Alex, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. Just this time, let it pass. I'll give 600 points next time, I promise. "

" Nah, not happening, never and don't try those tricks on me or you'll pay, " Alex chuckled as he looked at Tsumugi with grinning expression. 

Women were said to be great actresses by birth and it seems to be true by looking at Tsumugi who could shed tears whenever she wished. 

He had already undone his invisibility, so Tsumugi could clearly see the smirk etched upon his lips which made it clear that her pitiful appearance which always worked on all men, wasn't going to work now. 

" This is your last chance, tell what you gonna do? " Alex asked impatiently. 

Seeing Tsumugi not replying he sighed, " Whatever... "

But, just then Tsumugi said with helpless tone, " Okay. I'm doing that. "

" What are you doing? " Alex asked. 

"... I'll strip... I'll get 100 points that way, " Said Tsumugi. 

" Good choice. You know what you need to do, " Said Alex while making himself comfortable on the chair to see how his married teacher was going to strip in front of her student. 

Tsumugi closed her eyes as she tried to calm down her shattering heart. 

She was going to be forced to strip like a whore. 

But, she still started unbuttoning her brown professional coat. 

With each button released her inner white shirt got exposed slowly.

Alex didn't miss the chance to eye the curvy impressions of his teacher's boobs on her white sweaty shirt. 

He could even see the outline of her bra. 

" You really are a slut huh. Are you cheating on your husband? To wear such sexy underwear you must be expecting getting fucked, " Commented Alex. 

Tsumugi didn't reply anything. 

No, she didn't even open her eyes, she just unbuttoned her coat until the last button quietly making Alex tsk loudly. 

" Answer me and I'll give you hundred extra points after you are done stripping for this round, " Said Alex. 

Tsumugi suddenly felt that she shouldn't miss this chance.

What if next time she also got 400 points, at that time she will need to become completely nude and may even need to please Alex sexually. 

So, Tsumugi opened her mouth to just say some bullshit lie, but what she said was, " No...I'm not...I'm still a virgin. "

Tsumugi herself was surprised, seeing that she had told the truth against her wishes.

She had never let her husband touch even the nail of her finger. 

" Ah, you look surprised. Actually, I made it so that you can't lie in this room, " Explained Alex. 

Tsumugi just glared at Alex making him smile even more widely. 

That's why Tsumugi just looked away and threw her coat away which disappeared right away making Tsumugi feel insecure. 

But, she couldn't do anything but removed her sandals next. 

She was sent information in her mind and she needed to strip her coat, stockings and sandals in first layer. 

" Seems you wear those to make yourself look taller, " Commented Alex thoughtfully. 

Tsumugi directly replied, " Yes... I'm conscious of my average height. "

Alex chuckled, " Don't bother, I'm not giving you extra points now. "

Downcast, Tsumugi next removed her stockings one by one. 

Her sexy legs peeked out in all of their glory. 

Alex liked the sight of those pure white jade like legs which he wanted to caress so much. 

But, he held back as the dish wasn't cooked yet. 

" Continue, " Alex orders to which Tsumugi felt embrassed.

She unbuttoned her shirt's buttons now. 

This time she was considerably slower, as she was feeling humiliated to let a man to see her naked for first time ever. 

She thought whether it was better to feel that pain than doing this. 

But, that thought was thrown away as soon as it came. 

Alex waited to see the half nude sensei of his, he had kept eyes on her during the class. 

But, looking at her stripping for him and him only was way more satisfying.
