Collar X Malice ~UNLIMITED~ ADONIS Route Translations (Part 1)

Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (ラン) Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut !

Ran Hoshino: Pardon the intrusion.

I opened the cathedral's doors and stepped inside.

I bowed on one knee before the person inside turned to acknowledge my presence.

Ran Hoshino: You called for me, Zero?

Zero: Ahh. Thanks for your hard work.

The one who had been waiting for me in the cathedral was of course, none other than Adonis' head, Zero.

Zero: Why so humble? Haven't I always told you that that's not necessary?

His words echoed around me with a tone that indicated his slight displeasure. Perhaps he didn't like my attitude.

Ran Hoshino: Not doing so would set a bad example for others.

Ran Hoshino: You are a symbol to us, one of hope. Death befalls those who desecrate it.

Zero: Sigh... You're really alike after all. Or, should I say that you've come to resemble him?

Ran Hoshino: ...? Who are you talking about?

Zero: Rei, I mean. Lately, your words resemble his.

Ran Hoshino: ...I resemble Mikuni-sama...? Such words are unbefitting of me.

Rei Mikuni is the founder of Adonis and he's closer to you than anyone else.

I can't find any features that I might share with an existence that’s higher than mine.

Considering Rei's origins, his position within Adonis, and his thinking, it would be impossible for someone like me to be similar to him in any way or manner.

Zero: ...Well, whatever. Putting that aside, there's something I'd like to ask of you.

Ran Hoshino: Of course, your wish is my command.

I feel like we're finally onto the main topic of why he called me here. As I rightened my kneeling posture, his voice echoed around me.

Zero: I want you to do the "selection" in my place.

Ran Hoshino: ...You're asking of me to do that?

Zero: The rebirth of Adonis...it will start very soon.

Ran Hoshino: Yes, preparations have been proceeding smoothly. No mistakes will be made this time.

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

--The plan to restart X-Day,

an event that was thwarted 2 years ago. A coup d'etat by Adonis... A plan for terrorism.

Back then, an X-Day incident would happen once per month; Terrorist acts which plunged the nation into fear.

However, the police managed to stop their plans, thus preventing X-Day from happening. Adonis had their lowest ranking members serve as decoys while the core members went into hiding.

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

Ran Hoshino: (For two years, we've tread carefully behind the scenes.)

This was to ensure that we won't be noticed by the public even if something went wrong, to avoid attracting even the slightest bit of suspicion to ourselves.

The day of rebirth draws near. Each day that draws to a close is a step closer to our goal.

Zero: Of course, we can't afford to be as reckless as we were 2 years ago. Just being feared is enough for now. ...Judas.

Zero: ...Everything will be in vain if there is a Judas.

Ran Hoshino: ......!?

I swallowed the lump in my throat. Judas; the term we used to represent traitors.

Not knowing why he brought up the subject, I decided to prod him for more information.

Ran Hoshino: ...Is this one of your premonitions?

Zero: No...It's my conclusion after observing this situation for 2 years. No one has acted even a foot out of place. Everyone has fared and progressed far more than I expected.

Zero: Still, they might be waiting for the right time to strike. That's precisely why we have to keep our guards up.

Ran Hoshino: ...You must be implying that this is a mission regarding the Executors of the X-Day incidents 2 years ago, me included.

"Executors": This title was given to a specific group of people within the organization.

They were ordinary citizens who laid down the path leading to X-Day. A group of 8, consisting of both men and women alike, they exacted Adonis' will and judgement.

They formally joined Adonis as official members when the organization went into hiding, just like me.

...That's also the reason why Akito Sera is here.

Zero: I'm keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. I reckon they won't slip-up so easily.

Zero: ...But still, seeing as we're only one month away from the restart of X-Day, I believe that any potential Judas will soon make their move.

Zero: If they're truly plotting to thwart our plans, there's a higher chance that they'll become bolder. It's very likely that the Judas will make a mistake.

Zero: For us, we just have to find the right time to uncover the Judas' identities and dispose of them.

Ran Hoshino: ......

I understand the reasoning behind his conclusion. We have to act at once if there are people who want to interfere with us.

Even if they're carrying out their actions with extreme caution, they'll definitely make a mistake or two in the long-run. We'll use that opportunity to crush them once and for all.

...However, the question still remains.

Ran Hoshino: I suspect that it's just as you say. But wouldn't that place me in the same situation as everyone else? Why did you assign me to this mission?

Shouldn't I be the most suspicious target, considering that I wasn't always an Executor?

Despite all of that...Zero only laughed off my concerns.

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

Zero: That's because I trust you. Ran Hoshino: ......

I could only meet his gaze as he tilted my chin upwards with a finger.

...Like always, I was unable to get a read on his emotions.

Ran Hoshino: ...It is my honor. Please leave it to me.

Zero: The expression you're making really doesn't match up with what you're saying. Aren't you happy?

Ran Hoshino: Even though I feel honored from the bottom of my heart?

Zero: ...Well, let's leave it at that.

Zero: You have a month to accomplish this mission. Present to me your findings 3 days before the plan is put into action.

Ran Hoshino: Roger that.

I nodded reflexively in reply as the gears in my brain started to turn.

Ran Hoshino: (This is my chance to prove myself...!)

The circumstances were too good to be true. This however, was no mere coincidence. It was an inevitable outcome.

Considering him, this man had probably given everyone in the upper ranks the exact same order.

Ran Hoshino: Keisuke Sanjou, Suzune Uno, Shion Uno, Manabu Souda, Rika Sugawara, Akito Sera, Hanako Kobayashi and Tomoki Ogata. Am I correct to assume that they are our current suspects?

I listed off their names as I tried to recall their faces. I'm not usually in contact with any of them but we were all affiliated with each other at least once.

Considering that we aren't all that close, I'll probably need a couple of excuses to get closer to them...

Zero: ...No. There's one other person.

Ran Hoshino: And who might that be?

His words snapped me out of my train of thought as I found myself searching for any signs of emotion in his eyes.

--There was absolutely no humor to be found.

Zero: Rei Mikuni. Please look into him as well.

Ran Hoshino: But...

Why would he ask me to do that? I really don't understand this man's intentions at all.

Rei Mikuni cherished him. Much more than anyone else who was a member of Adonis.

In fact, all of his actions, mind and heart were solely devoted to the organization alone ever since it was founded. His position was equal to Zero's.

Ran Hoshino: (Is it possible that that he's betrayed us?)

Zero: That's an order. No questions will be tolerated.

Ran Hoshino: ...Roger.

He had avoided the question and left me hanging with a vague answer.

Turning the case down and hesitating were not an option. I could only nod in reply. Orders were orders after all.

Ran Hoshino: Understood. It will be as you wish, Zero.

I could feel the tension in the air disperse once I formally accepted the mission. I heard a chuckle.

Zero: It's truly a pity about your hair though...

Ran Hoshino: ......?

Zero: Despite how long it was, you cut it short. Aren't you going to grow out your hair again?

Ran Hoshino: I'm also a combatant so it's easier to move without all that extra weight bagging me down...

Zero: Your current hairstyle's not all too bad but I think that having long hair suits you better... ...I liked it better that way.

Ran Hoshino: ......

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

I looked back in silence, unsure of how I should react. Zero withdrew the finger he had under my chin.

Ran Hoshino: I will proceed with the investigation at once. ...If that's all you need from me, I will take my leave.

Zero: I look forward to seeing the results of your investigation.

I stood up with my head still bowed. As I turned on my heel to leave, I found myself surveying the room out of habit. This cathedral is Adonis' sanctuary. A forbidden area.

That's to say that wherever Adonis goes, this cathedral follows. If Adonis changes hideouts, this place would be rebuilt in exactly the same way as it is now.

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

--The tragedy that befell "that day" didn't happen here. But, it’s still crystal clear. The air, thick with the metallic smell of blood and those eyes of despair.

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

Zero: ...Something the matter?

Ran Hoshino: ...No, It's nothing. Please excuse me.

I firmly turned away and left the cathedral this time.

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

Ran Hoshino: (I can't let this opportunity slip past me...)

Even if he's just manipulating me within the palm of his hand.

During my 2 years here, I tried looking into the executors mentioned earlier.

Previously, they were ordinary civilians whom you could find just about anywhere.

They weren't originally members of Adonis who had been used as pawns either. They were used because they had a common interest at heart. That was the most likely the case.

Ran Hoshino: (They stand out from the others though. For better or for worse. That means that I would look suspicious even if I tried contacting them through normal means.)

We're all in charge of different things so we haven't talked to each other much at all.

Ran Hoshino: (But...forced contact can be made if an order has been made.)

Gathering them together could prove to be rather convenient if there really are traitors within them.

Ran Hoshino: (It's easier to deceive people with more pawns on hand.)

One month till the restart of X-Day.

For the sake of the "Rebirth" I desire.

Ran Hoshino: (I'll do everything I can...to fulfill my one and only goal!)

—— —— ≿————-　❈　————-≾ —— ——

--And from that day onwards, I carried out my investigation on the "Executors" along with my usual duties. I can't take things lightly anymore if I want to finish these investigations on time.

Headshot

Wordcount: 1571 words Pairing: Souda x OC (Yamamoto Keiko) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Annoying boners and jerking off in the bathroom

because it was only a manner of time before I lewded this guy.

If you want more information on Keiko, I’ve put it up on twitter. In fact, I’m mostly posting this here so I can link it on my twitter, oops.

---

It’s cold.

I mean, it makes sense given that it’s January, but it’s still annoying.

Even in a tiny studio apartment that you think would be easy to heat, the cold seeps through the walls and chills the occupants.

The kotatsu is fine well into the evening, but once it’s time to unfurl the futons…

That’s how this whole predicament started.

Sheepish glances when one thought the other wasn’t looking, awkward shifting under the covers, night by night the futons creeping closer and closer together.

Yamamoto Keiko rolls over one night and looks at Souda Manabu. He’s so close that she could brush a stray hair out of his eyes if she reached out.

His eyes flick up from the phone in his hand.

“What’re you staring at? You’re being weird.”

“I wasn’t staring.”

“Buuuuullshit. What, can’t stop thinking about how cool your boyfriend is? Hehe!”

Keiko sighs and rolls onto her back. He was acting childish, but it still made her face heat up.

“I was just thinking about how cold it is.”

“Man, you can’t think about something more interesting?” Souda’s question is punctuated by a victory jingle ringing from his phone. “Woo-hoo, one-shot kill! Hehehehe, I’ve still got it!”

“STILL got it?” Keiko rolls onto her side to face him again. “You make it sound like you haven’t been able to play a lot, Manabu.”

Souda’s eyebrows furrow as his lips draw thin. “I haven’t! It’s been hard as hell keeping up since I’ve got this job, you know.” He pauses to sniff indignantly. “Plus, you know… I have a girlfriend to take care of now.”

“Oh, poor thing.”

Souda’s tongue hangs out as he laughs impishly. “Hey, my rank’s slipped a lot because of you! So?” His expression grows serious. “How are you going to make it up to me?”

Keiko’s eyes snap open. “Huh?”

Souda keeps on staring, until eventually his frown twitches and he bursts into more obnoxious laughter.

“Man, look at how red your face got! Tch, I was thinking you owed me a gacha pull or two… the hell’s on your mind? Per-vert!”

“I am not! Honestly!” Keiko wraps herself up in her blanket and rolls over so she doesn’t have to see his grin.

“Aw, come on, Cake. Your face is so red that you’re probably hotter than the kotatsu!”

Keiko’s ears perk when she hears the ‘AFK’ notification come from his phone.

….

She can feel him staring at her back…

Finally, she hears the covers shift.

“You and I both know how damn cold it is in here. …Come on. Heat us both up, why don’tcha?”

Keiko peeks back over her shoulder. A part of her is tempted to just say ‘nope’ and tease him more for his bad behavior, but…

He actually minimized his game.

“… You aren’t afraid I’ll do something perverted to you?”

“The hell do you think you’re talking to? I could totally take you if you tried anything!”

That confident smile of his is really cute… and he actually bothered to minimize his game…

Still trying to hide her red cheeks, Keiko slips out from under her blanket and darts under the covers on Souda’s futon.

It’s much warmer under there, though Keiko jolts when she remembers that they’re in their sleepwear. Souda usually only wears a game t-shirt and underwear to bed, and she’s reminded very much of that fact when their bare legs touch.

Keiko thinks she catches a glimpse of his blush before he yanks her towards him and turns her around, resting his chin on her head as he takes the role of ‘big spoon’.

“Come on, Cake… we’re boyfriend and girlfriend, right? This is how we’re supposed to do things… right?”

Keiko sighs as she shifts so her back is against Souda’s torso. She can practically feel his heartbeat drumming against her, and it makes her smile as she closes her eyes.

But she frowns when she feels Manabu move his arm and the telltale ‘beep beep’ of his game restarting.

“Manabu…”

“What? It’s multitasking, babe!”

-----

An hour passes in comfort. Even Souda shuts off his game a little quicker than usual. With Keiko asleep, he quietly leans down and kisses the top of her head. The fragrance of her hair is light and unobtrusive. Souda thinks that something like peach or strawberry would suit her better, but her job’s pretty strict about perfumes and scents.

“Mm…”

Souda freezes when Keiko stirs in her sleep. Not that he was embarrassed or anything, but it’d be a pain if she woke up all of a sudden!

But she just scooches back, shifting comfortably against her boyfriend for warmth.

Shifting… shifting…

…

That rubbing feels good…

She’s warm, too...

Souda’s eyes widen when he feels himself stirring—oh, hell no! No way, God should have more control than this--!

But it’s too late, his dick is standing practically straight up. Souda can hear his own pulse throbbing in his ear drums, mimicked by that idiot thing between his legs that seems to think that NOW is a good time to demand attention.

He hasn’t been this hard in a long time. He password protected his naughtier mobage games ever since he started dating Keiko, but he still played them when she wasn’t home. It isn’t like he’s been neglecting it or anything, so why is it so damn stiff?!

Souda shifts, trying to move it away from Keiko. He’d be in a hell of a lot of trouble if she woke up being poked in the ass by his stiffy.

Their first time is going to be hella romantic. He’ll lay her down on his futon with her hair streaming out behind her and make love to her until she’s trembling and crying his name like, “Ma—na-buuuu---!!”

Hehe…

…Okay, imagining that REALLY isn’t helping right now.

He closes his eyes and tries to ignore it, but…

Keiko stirs in her sleep again, drawn back against his warmth with a satisfied sigh.

D-Damnit, she feels so soft…

Souda reaches down with trembling fingers and tries to stash his erection away, but it just pops back up.

He shoves it down again.

Boing!

“G-Ghh…”

He can’t stop it.

Shaking his head, Souda quickly rolls over and gets out of the futon, doing his best not to disturb Keiko sleeping next to him.

“Mm… Mana-chan…?”

“Gwuh?!”

She sounds so cute and sleepy, he can’t even be mad at that stupid nickname! But she can’t see him like this--!

Souda quickly pulls the front of his shirt down over his underwear and yells a little too loudly: “G-Gotta pee!” before stumbling into the bathroom.

He hears Keiko sigh and roll over as he shuts the door behind him.

Yeah, yeah that’s all… he just had to get up and go to the bathroom, that’s all.

But as Souda shoves his underwear down, his penis springs up to full attention, revealing his lie.

Damn, it’s really throbbing!

With a muttered curse, Souda gently pokes the pink head protruding from his foreskin.

“Annoying…”

With a grimace he wraps his hand around the shaft, beginning to tug at himself. He feels harder than the barrel of a gun, and that hardness pulses when it finally receives attention.

He closes his eyes and bites his lip to hold back the moan threatening to escape his throat.

Even with fabric separating them, Souda could feel the plushness of Keiko’s body when she pushed herself back against him.

He loosens his grip, thinking about how soft and gentle she’d be rubbing on him.

Precum has already started dribbling from his slit, and Souda rubs the wetness over the tip with his thumb.

Her lips feel great, too, they feel just as soft as the rest of her when they kiss. The thought of them puckering, kissing more than just his lips, roaming down and finally parting to pleasure this throbbing thing—

Souda convulses, his legs trembling as his dick begins to spit out its sticky orgasm.

“Shit!” he groans as he arches his back, watching with a grimace as it lands on the tile above the toilet. He usually doesn’t shoot that far…

“H-Heh… headshot…”

-----

Keiko looks at the bathroom door, unknowingly mimicking her boyfriend by biting her lip.

Souda thought he had held it back, but his pleasured groan reached Keiko’s ears and keeps on repeating in her mind.

More importantly-- and he didn’t even realize he did this— Keiko heard him say her name. No, he moaned it in the middle of his fantasy.

Embarrassed by the smile creeping on her face, Keiko rolls over so she’s facing away from the door.

It’s too late for tonight, but next time, maybe…

Keiko flinches when she hears the door open and Souda trudge back around to the futon.

“Huh? You’re up?”

“Ah, no, just… the bathroom light…”

“Yeah, well, when I get darkvision you’ll be the first one to know, Cake.”

Souda flops into the bed with an exhausted sigh and pulls Keiko to him like she’s a pillow.

When their bodies press against each other, Keiko can feel his softening erection against her leg. He probably doesn’t even realize it.

She smiles a little to herself, allowing her mind to wander.

Finally, she takes a deep breath. “Manabu?”

But he’s breathing deeply, and a contented, sleepy mumble is the only answer she gets.
