Herrscher of the Lust

After finishing his job, Daniel made his way to the police once again.

*Ding" 

Opening the door, he saw Kazuya drinking coffee and called him out.

"Kazuya-san." 

"Daniel? What brings you here? It's early in the morning." Kazuya asked in surprise. Shouldn't this kid have a job to do?

"I finished my work early." As if reading his thoughts, Daniel told him what happened.

"You want to know what happened to Asakura Mizuki?" Kazuya asked.

"Yes. I heard from the guard that she was bullied." 

"I suppose so. Asakura Mizuki had a case related to bullying back then. Apparently, it was so severe that she even had to transfer school." 

"What happened after that? And what's the cause of her bullying?" Daniel asked with an eager expression.

"We don't know. She just didn't bring up anything about the case after that. As for the cause… we aren't sure." Kazuya said with a shake of his head.

Daniel clenched his fist hearing that. No clue huh?

"Oh wait, I remember now! It was because Asakura Mizuki was into girls or something. The boys didn't like that apparently and bullied her." Kazuya said with a tired expression.

He really didn't think how someone could be bullied because of that.

"Is that so…?" Instead of getting surprised  Daniel didn't ask anything further, before standing up and exiting the station.

"What was that about?" Kazuya looked at the running Daniel in surprise.

Afternoon.

After their class was over ,Kiana immediately went to find Daniel around the campus.

"Hey, did you see Daniel?" She asked the guard of the school.

"The kid? He was here earlier. After you left, he came back shortly after before leaving again." The guard scratched his head. 

"You didn't see him?" 

"Didn't see him so far. He must be doing something outside." 

"I see…" Kiana nodded before, walking outside the gate.

"Kiana!" Seeing the waving figure, Kiana is surprised.

"Asakura?" Kiana almost face palmed. She forgot that she wanted to say something to her after school.

"Yes, did you forget? I want to talk to you after school." Asakura giggled.

"Hahaha, yeah… definitely didn't forget it." She replied with a nervous laugh.

Asakura smiled seeing this, "Kiana, this might sound strange but what I'm about to say to you, could we talk it somewhere with no people around?" 

"That's fine." Kiana nodded. She didn't think that Asakura had any bad thoughts against her.

And even if she does, aside from Daniel, she didn't think anyone in the city could beat her in a brawl.

'Daniel is really weird.' She thought.

Walking around the school while chatting, they stopped behind an abandoned school building.

Looking around, Kiana wondered how a prestigious school could have something so unclean.

From the looks of it, it's been a long time since anyone came here and judging by the crack on the walls, this building should be very old.

"So what do you want to tell me about Asakura?" Kiana asked curiously. 

"Kiana, don't you know what this place is?" Instead of saying what she wanted to say, Asakura asked instead.

"No? I just transferred to the school a few days ago." Kiana shook her head. Is there anything important here?

"This is a famous spot for confession. With how hidden it is, no one would see even if the confession failed." Asakura smiled at her.

"Ahh.. that." Hearing this, Kiana realized something.

Without waiting for Kiana to say anything, Asakura handed her a letter and bowed while saying, "Kiana, I like you. Ever since you saved me from those people, you've always been on my mind. Will you go out with me?" 

After saying it, she bowed lower.

Kiana was surprised for a moment but quickly waved her hand, "H-Hey.. don't joke around. We've only known each other for a few days and I-I see you as a friend…"

Asakura's face blackened hearing that. She slowly raised her head but instead of the innocent looking girl earlier, her face distorted hideously.

"So you're gonna reject me too?" Asakura said with a deep voice.

"Huh?" Kiana stopped talking after hearing that.

"Why? Why do you reject me?!" Asakura slowly approached her.

"W-Wait, W-What are you..?" Kiana gritted her teeth and took a step back.

"Is it because of Raiden Mei?"

"Or is it because of that janitor?"

She stopped once she was face to face with Kiana.

"Why? Everytime I confess my love, they always reject me." Asakura continued with an expressionless voice.

"Asakura, calm down and—!" Before Kiana could finish her words, she was sent flying by a burst of energy.

Landing down with a thud, she quickly stood up and said with shock,

"Honkai…"

"Since Kiana wouldn't love me.." Asakura's claws sharpened and her hair started waving similar to that of a witch.

"I won't allow anyone to have her!" 

—

"Hey, have you seen Kiana?" Daniel asked the school guard while carrying a bag. After finding out Asakura Mizuki's background, Daniel put the dots together and immediately tried to come back as soon as possible.

A girl who was bullied, the murder case against delinquents, and now, killing young girls. It now confirms one thing.

The Honkai has something to do with it and not just that, the case that has been only classified as a murder case seemed to be much more.

A Herrscher has awakened. 

He didn't know what kind of Herrscher she is but judging by the conditions to be one, Asakura Mizuki perfectly meets the requirements.

"She was looking for you earlier," The guard said with a confused expression, before smirking, "Oh wait, do you two have a date? Tsk, tsk. It's not nice to keep a girl waiting, you know." 

"Where is she now?!" Instead of replying to his teasing, Daniel asked with an anxious expression.

"I don't know. I only remembered seeing her with that Asakura Mizuki girl. Seems like she wants to talk about something." Seeing that Daniel wasn't in a mode to joke, the guard didn't mess around and told.

"When is it?"

"They just left, kid. Around 10 minutes before you got here." 

'Damn it!' Daniel clenched his teeth. 

'Think, where could they have been?' Since it wasn't that long, they could not have gotten far.

'Lesbian girl, love confession..' Realizing something, Daniel immediately ran at the fastest speed towards the direction of the old school building leaving the guard in daze. 

'Just hold on there!'

Running like never before, he saw the old building and immediately went around it.

As Daniel was getting closer, he felt an extreme amount of energy suffocating him.

Despite this, he still pushed through until he reached the back of the old school building.

"W-What..?" Looking in shock, he saw Kiana holding her left arm and barely able to stand properly.

"Kiana!" Daniel quickly supported her.

"D-Daniel?" Kiana asked in surprise before her expression turned horrified, "You shouldn't be here!" 

She quickly tried to push him off. From her understanding, Daniel is just a normal person.  Although he can fight against her when she's not serious, it still doesn't mean he can fight beings infected by Honkai.

Who can blame her? Male Honkai adaptability is low to the point it's classified as a miracle if you have one. Except for a few people, most males typically don't have it.

"Are you insane?" Daniel refused. Looking at her bloodied uniform and ripped stockings, he tried to carry her.

"Y-You…!" She glared in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the original hysterical expression of Asakura Mizuki becomes gloomy.

Hello? You're about to die, why are you doing this to me?

"So he's the reason why you didn't accept my confession Kiana." Her hand morphed into a tentacle and waved in their direction.

"What are you talking about?!" Kiana shouted as they both dodged it.

Seeing this, Daniel separated from her before rushing to Asakura.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you think you can stop me?!" Asakura shouted with glee. She really hates Daniel at this point.

Both of her hands morphed into tendrils before launching it in his direction.

Daniel didn't dodge but instead used his bag as a shield before twisting his body to avoid it. 

"You.." Seeing him coming closer, Asakura panicked. She hurriedly changed her arms back to its claw form before swinging it.

Instead of avoiding it, Daniel blocked it using his bag once again before closing the distance and swung his fist to her face.

*Crash* 

Sending her flying, Daniel stabilized his breathing first before rushing once again.

He wouldn't give her any chance!

Asakura who's lying on the ground saw this and quickly tried to stand up.

"Huh?" Seeing a bag flying towards her, she used her claws to slice it in half which caused a pile of textbooks to burst mid air, blocking her vision.

'Where is he?!' Looking around, she didn't notice Daniel's figure until it was too late and was pinned to the ground via tackle.

"Got you." Panting, Daniel held her hands while sitting on her stomach, immobilizing her upper body.

"L-Let go…." Unlike her previous crazy self, Asakura started crying and squirmed.

However, Daniel didn't let go and instead said, "Asakura Mizuki, you are under arrest for sexual assault, rape, and multiple cases of murder." 

Hearing this, Asakura became angry and started struggling more fiercely, "Under arrest? What were you people doing when those people defiled me?!" 

Daniel was surprised about her outburst of strength and tried to pin her but to no avail.

Without any warning, Asakura's hair transformed into tentacles before wrapping at Daniel's neck and throwing him away.

*Crash*

"Ugh…" Coughing, he felt something grabbing his leg before getting slammed into the ground.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

"Die! Die! Die! Die!" Asakura continued slamming while smiling maniacally.

"DIE!" 

Doing a final slam, Asakura threw him to a tree, almost knocking him out.

"Tch. Still alive, you thief?"

Instead of answering, Daniel groaned in pain instead. If it wasn't for his special physique, he would've been unconscious by now.

Although he did feel something breaking.

'That's not good.' Touching his rib, he winced in pain.

"This is your punishment for interfering with our love." 

"What the fuck are you talking about woman?" After speaking, he felt tentacles coiling around his neck before raising him to the air.

"Die." 

Seeing this, Daniel tried to remove the tentacles but it's too tough.

'Damn it.' As he was about to pass out, he heard a gunshot before falling to the ground.

*Cough* *Cough*

Rubbing his neck while coughing, he turned to see Kiana holding a gun in both of her hands.

'So that's where she disappeared earlier. She must have picked her guns.' Daniel thought while holding his neck. While fighting earlier, he noticed that Kiana disappeared somewhere. He even thought that she ran away, leaving him.

'Guess I shouldn't doubt her.' 

"Kiana…" Seeing this, Asakura was shocked. She saw how Kiana shot her tentacles, dropping Daniel to the ground.

"Why? Do you really hate me that much?" Tears started flowing in her eyes.

"Asakura, give up now." Instead of answering, Kiana pointed her handgun at her.

'No. I can't give up!' Thinking this, Asakura decided to abandon all reason before rushing to Kiana.

Seeing that her persuasion didn't have any effect, Kiana hesitantly dodged while shouting.

"Asakura! Please stop this!"

Dodging her attacks, Kiana pleaded with her.

As if not hearing anything, Asakura continued whipping her tentacles until…

*Bang* 

"Ugh…" Kiana didn't manage to dodge in time and was sent flying along with her pistol.

"Kiana, hehehe." Using her tentacles to grab her, Asakura ripped Kiana's uniform and licked her shoulder.

"S-Stop.." She squirmed.

*Bang* *Bang* 

A bullet tore through the air before ripping the tentacles holding Kiana.

*Bang* *Bang* 

Followed by more bullets aimed at Asakura.

"AHHHH." Screaming in pain, she glared to see Daniel holding the pistols Kiana dropped earlier.

"Daniel.. you." Falling to the ground, Kiana called Daniel.

She was surprised to see him holding a handgun. She already fought with him and  didn't think he's capable of wielding guns.

Daniel didn't reply but instead, did a particular stance which surprised Kiana.

Spinning the gun, he shot through again and this time, instead of her tentacles, he aimed at her vital points.

Asakura saw this and used her hair as a shield before turning her right hand into a claw.

After the gun ran out of ammo, Asakura rushed towards Daniel with the intent of dismembering him.

Instead of panicking, Daniel threw the gun in her direction which forced her to dodge before tackling her.

"You.." Not giving her a chance to fight back, Daniel immediately put her on a rear naked choke, squeezing the life out of her.

"A.h..st..p..se" Daniel ignored her begging and kept choking her.

After a few seconds, Asakura stopped struggling which made Daniel squeeze her a few times before letting her go.
