#78 Disadvantage of Photographic memory

I waited for a while before following our group and when I arrived near the boy's changing room, I simply passed by it and continued walking down the hallway until I stopped right before the door with a sign saying "Equipment"

I guess that's where they are storing the loungers and other things they lend to the visitors. According to Ayanokoji's information, they should be here. His task was to practically act as their back up if anything went horribly wrong.

I moved my ear closer to the door, however, I was unable to hear anything. I opened the door and entered a fairly big room with all kinds of swimming equipment and 2 more doors inside.

It wasn't even locked...

I quietly approached the first door and tried to listen in if anyone was inside but no one was there...

When I approached the second door, I noticed that they were barricaded by some boxes. I quietly inspected the boxes and moved them away before leaning my ear closer to the door.

This was probably one of Ayanokoji's tasks since they wouldn't be able to barricade it without any outside help.

"Haha, they should be going back by now!" I heard Ike's voice and laugher.

"Yeah, the suspense is killing me."

"It's unfortunate that the girl's changing room is a farther distance from the first section than the boy's room or we would have already been enjoying ourselves in heaven."

I also heard Sudo's and Yamauchi's voices respectively.

Judging by how much their voices are muffled, their backs are facing the doors and I wouldn't be able to hear them if I didn't have a superior hearing.

The door has a small part made of glass, therefore, it's transparent but unfortunately, there is something like a blanket on the other side, obstructing my vision. Let's hope they were only relying on those boxes in front of the door and hopefully they didn't lock the door.

If I am to stop them, I don't want them to know that it was me. It will probably be the best if I can knock them out, with them not knowing what happened. However, knocking out 3 people at the same time will be a pretty difficult task, not to mention that I still don't know if they locked this stupid door or not. In case they didn't and I will be able to relatively quietly enter the room, the door can still make a creaking sound judging from how old it looks. In case they locked the door, the only remaining thing for me is to break in with the force but that will make too much noise and if I won't move fast enough, they will at least catch a glimpse of my face before blacking out.

Anyway, the best time to start would be when they will be too focused on the screen or whatever is in front of them right now. When the girls enter the room...that is probably the best timing. Their vigilance will be at it's lowest at that time. Right now they are still feeling tense because their plan can fail anytime however when they will see the hope, the goal right before their eyes...That is the moment when they will drop their guard. Or maybe I am simply overestimating them...I don't know, after all, they are idiots so I wouldn't be too surprised.

*sigh* If I knew that it was going to be so troublesome, I would have simply told Matsushita to stay away from the changing room for a while. Right now, I am simply doing this just for her because Kei won't appear there anyway. I just didn't want to alarm others or even Matsushita herself. Maybe I am overly cautious...

I was thinking about some meaningless things and also about more meaningful strategies while waiting for the right moment.

"HAHAHA! Finally!!! Here they come, heheh" Ike almost started shouting in delight and even though it was muffled, I would still be able to hear him even without my superior hearing with absolutely no problems.

"You idiot!!! Keep it down!!!" I heard Sudo shouting at him and lecturing him even though his shouting was heard even louder than Ike's.

Are you idiot? I thought inwardly while frowning with a slightly confused expression on my face.

Well, I guess it's a good time for me to start. I thought and tried to slowly and quietly open the door.

"Alright, alright, I am really sorry just let go of my collar already, please..."

Thankfully, the door wasn't locked so I was able to slightly open it without any problems before stopping after hearing a creaking sound.

Although the door wasn't wide open, I was still able to see what they were doing through the gap.

And as I thought, the 3 of them were sitting with their backs facing me, their full attention was on the notebook right in front of them, not even that creaking sound was enough to alert them. I am in a good position now, I can see what is exactly going on inside the woman's changing room so I will know the right moment when to bolt inside.

I also didn't forget to bring my phone with me so I could take a photo of them spying on the girls. This way, I will be able to stop them if they will ever want to do this again in the future.

I quickly took the photo while I still could and then readied my posture so I could dart inside and knock all 3 of them without them even realizing what happened.

"Oh! Look! Sakura-chan is slowly taking off her top, she is so embarrassed even though she is all around the girls only, that makes her even cuter and not only that..." Yamauchi's statement gathered both Sudo's and Ike's attention and all 3 of them started to watch the screen intensively.

Now, that's a good time.

I pushed the door wide open and immediately darted into the room, I even completely disregarded the creaking sound it made but as I suspected, they didn't even care about it with such a good bait in front of their eyes.

I immediately arrived behind them at my full speed which generated a lot of wind and it was exactly at that time when they noticed that something is wrong, unfortunately for them, it was too late. I performed karate chop with both of my hands and hit Ike and Yamauchi into their necks while doing that I also used my knee to hit Sudo who was right between those two into his neck. I had to be really careful with my strength because if I didn't control the strength of my blow then I could have even broken their necks ultimately killing them. However, I also couldn't hold back too much else they wouldn't get knocked out. It's really hard controlling my strength, I should train more in my control but it's pretty hard to do that because there are a lot of security cameras around the campus and I simply need to break and hit things to slowly gain more control over my strength.

Anyway, I spent too much time thinking after I successfully knocked them out. I don't think they had seen anything regarding the girls before they lost the consciousness but even if they did then it's not my problem, the main point is that it wasn't Matsushita.

I thought and redirected my gaze at the notebook lying on the ground just a few steps away from me.

?!

My expression became a bit horrified by what I have seen on the screen.

Sakura who was just about to take off the top of her swimsuit right before I knocked out the idiots, had her top off and her breasts were fully visible to the naked eyes. And it wasn't only her but there were many other girls without the top yet they were still continuing their undressing. I was able to see Ichinose's, Horikita's, Kushida's and of course Sakura's extremely beautiful and seductive pink nipples.

I quickly closed the lid of the notebook with a serious expression and closed eyes, trying my best to forget the sight I have just seen because it felt extremely weird to spy on someone naked not so mention their age...It almost makes me feel like a pedo. However, no matter how hard I tried to forget, nothing happened.

F*ck! Now that photographic memory is an enormous curse.

"Hey, hey, girls! Now that we already know that Hirata-kun is once again available, is there someone who is aiming for him?"

Hm? It seems that there is also a microphone connected to that spying toy. However, judging by the topic of their conversation, there won't be anything interesting to hear for me.

"Umm, what do you all think about Walker-kun?"

Now we are talking about me? I would like to turn the volume off but I would have to open the lid ultimately revealing the screen full of naked girls. Well, at least the microphone is of a shitty quality so I can't really tell who is talking just by the voice, I would need to see the screen to actually find out who is asking about me. Guess I will just endure it, for now, I need to wait for them to leave to get that toy and destroy the camera's memory card.

"Yeah, let's forget about Hirata-kun for a little while because I think that Walker-kun made a very big impact today."

What kind of impact? I thought with a confused expression, although I knew what they meant however I didn't think that it was such a big deal to make a fuss out of it.

"Yeah, that's right. His scars indeed left a big impact on me."

"They looked indeed...scary but he seemed so nonchalant about them and about the entire matter altogether. It actually made him look much more charming, not to mention that story about his training in the mountains. Although it sounds quite sad, he didn't seem to think like that. hihi"

...It's really tempting to open that lid just to turn the volume off. I thought with a helpless expression, is this the karma for my evil doings against Ayanokoji?

"I get all of your points but...if he trained there so much, shouldn't he be more...I don't know, muscular? His abs are indeed very visible and they looked refined, however, even Sudo-kun is more muscular and I don't think he has such a past..."

"Hmm...I understand why you are so skeptical...What do you think about it, Horikita-san?"

"Ichinose-san, I don't care about such things."

"Come on don't be like that..."

"..." There was complete silence for a while.

"Wha-! Where do you think you are touching?! Stop already!..... Alright!! I will tell you what I think so stop already!" I could hear faint moans for a while before they disappeared.

What the hell are they doing? I thought and looked at the closed notebook with a weird expression.

"I think that Kendo isn't a martial art focused on the strength. You use a sword so you don't need great strength but instead, you need a lot of agility and flexibility. Having too much muscular body wouldn't be good for practicing it."

"So you are saying that he looks like that because he wants to be like that?"

"That's right, at least that's what I think it is, Sato-san"

"Umm, I must admit that even though Sudo-kun's body looks more imposing than Walker-kun's body, I don't know why but Walker-kun has much more imposing and wilder aura around him than Sudo-kun who only looks simply dangerous."

"You get that feeling too, Mii-chan?! So I am not alone...whew"

"Well, you can't be aware of everything he has done when he was training in the mountains..."

After that comment, the conversation quieted down a bit and only a few girls were talking to each other, no other heated discussion. After a while, they left and I was able to open the notebook once again.

Alright, let's see if they are actually storing the recorded video somewhere on this notebook.

I started to browse the files and not long after that, I was able to find them so I simply deleted them and stopped the automatic storing of the recording.

...

*sigh* Nice, they are still out of it and I only need to destroy that memory card now.

"Sae-chaan! Wait for me!"

When I heard this voice coming out of the notebook, my expression hardened.

And when I saw the two specific women enter the changing room, I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

I just fu*cking knew it...that bad feeling I have felt before wasn't just for nothing. But shouldn't there be some specific room for them to change? Why are they using regular changing rooms?

I put my hand on top of the lid, ready to close it once again however my hand froze for a while when I saw Sae-chan's bare back without the upper part of her bikini. Fortunately or maybe, unfortunately, the camera's angle was bad so her front assets weren't visible on the screen.

"Sae-chan, you are so slow... Are you perhaps thinking about what happened today with Felix-kun? hehe" Hoshinomiya-sensei who was complaining to her friend for being too slow was already fully naked, however, my eyes were focused on Sae-chan's bare back for the entire time.

"Chie-chan, I already said that I won't talk about this today anymore!" Sae-chan who seemed to be much more frustrated by her friend's comment than normally abruptly turned around, however thanks to my extremely fast reflexes I was able to close the lid before seeing her naked.

...Safe

*sigh* But why did it feel even worse than seeing those girls...? Why have I even closed it so quickly while risking to damage it? I have seen already so many naked women...the hell, I even saw that vixen fully naked right now but I hadn't felt much so why have I panicked like that when it came to Sae-chan? Is it perhaps because...I am fond of her and respect her so it feels wrong to "spy" on her? Although I always thought that it would actually feel better and not wrong to see someone you are fond of naked but I guess it doesn't involve spying. That's the only reason I can come up with right now.

I waited for them to leave while checking if all 3 idiots are still out. After they left, I quickly took care of business. Thanks to the approaching closing hours, I had no problem sneaking into the woman's changing room and taking the spying toy back with me.

...

"Hey, it took you quite a long..." Kei pouted her lips when I finally arrived.

"I am sorry, it took much more time than I thought it would." I apologized with a sincere smile and she just sighed when she saw my smile.

"...Alright, so what's the plan? What do you want to do? There are only 30 minutes until the closing hours." She asked me with a confused expression.

"Well, we indeed have very little time to spare here so I guess we will have to pick up the pace." I said absent-mindedly while looking at the orange sky.

"What do you mean?" She cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"This!" I said and took her into a princess carry.

"Wha-? What are you doing?! What if someone sees this?" She started blushing and asked with a slightly annoyed expression but she still had her hands wrapped around my neck.

"Do you even see anyone here? They will be closing in 30 minutes so no one is here anymore. As for what I want to do...heh" I smirked at her and her expression change into a frightened one when she noticed my smirk.

I approached the edge of the pool and simply yet ruthlessly threw Kei inside the pool.

"*cough* You ar-" Immediately after her head came to the surface I jumped in, right next to her and splashed another wave of water on her.

"*cough* You are really the worst! I even drank some of the water because of you...What if I didn't-" She was complaining to me with a frustrated expression however when she noticed my reassuring yet playful smile she stopped herself from saying anything more and simply smiled.

"Take off that shirt...There is no one to see you so you should cherish this moment and enjoy yourself in the pool with only your bikini on." I suggested with a genuine smile.

"Well, it's already wet, but what will I wear to cover my scar when I will go back? This shirt becomes transparent when wet..." She asked with a worried expression.

"You can take my shirt, I don't care. I have more than 1 with me here." I reassured her and splashed some water into her face.

"H-hey! That's not fair!" She shouted and counter attacked by splashing even more water at me.

Although this might be too childish for my taste, however, I don't mind this one-time thing if it can cheer her up.

We continued playing around in the pool for another 20 minutes and then we went to quickly change our clothes. In the end, we left 1 minute right before the closing time so we had no problems with the staff there and the 3 idiots must have left earlier.

-----(10 minutes after Felix left the "Equipment" room)-----

"Ouch! What the hell, why does my neck hurt so much?" Ike complained aloud when he woke up.

After that 2 other idiots woke up and started complaining in the same way.

After a while...

"Do you think that the girls discovered our plan?" Ike asked with a worried expression.

"Do you really think that they would simply let us so easily? Plus who would be capable enough to knock 3 of us at the same time?!" Sudo rebuked.

"Let's check our things first..." Yamauchi suggested and both of them accepted and started to search through their stuff.

...

"We have everything except for the memory card inside our toy..." Ike said with a pained tone.

"Try to look at your phone if they didn't send any of us any message. I don't believe that they haven't done anything when they could use this to simply blackmail us with this." Sudo said and both Ike and Yamauchi nodded their heads.

"Hm? ...Did I send a new message to Ayanokoji? I don't remember this message..." Ike said with a thoughtful expression.

"Show it to me!" Sudo said and snatched Ike's phone from his hands. All 3 of them looked at the message.

[Yo, Ayanokoji-kun, there is no need for any further help so you can leave together with our classmates, we still got something to do.]

"Why did you send this message to him, Ike-kun? If you hadn't done that, he might have come here to check on us if everything is alright..." Yamauchi looked hatefully at Ike.

"Wait, wait! I didn't send this! I don't remember it!" Ike tried to defend him while cautiously watching Sudo's reaction.

"Whatever, we can deal with this after we leave. We still need to return the keys and we don't even know when they are closing. Let's go" Sudo said and both of them agreed that this was the best course of action.

However, when they neared the door, they noticed a small paper stuck on the door.

"Hm?" Sudo took it and read it for himself and his expression became a bit horrified.

"What does it says, Sudo-kun?" Ike asked with a confused expression.

"One more time and you will become eunuchs and trust me that women will become your last priority at that time"

When Ike and Yamauchi heard this both of their faces had discomfort written on it.

"Are you really sure that the girls didn't find out about it?" Ike asked with a horrified expression while protecting his most "precious thing".
