Fractal Plane: Beyond Public Eyes

Chapter 12 - Yuki-tan, On Stage!

1

Sayaka Uehara had lost all sense of time.

She did not know how long she and Amagi have been imprisoned here, but things were not likely to change.

She repeatedly kicked her legs, hoping to loosen the bonds that held them together. She had barely made any headway into any of the ropes, and her now aching body only increased the effort in doing so.

It was frustrating. The manager had to be an expert at this. The ease at which she imagined the lavender-haired woman as a dominatrix supported that.

Even with Amagi now helping with the effort, the bonds barely budged.

This is more than annoying!

Uehara grunted and pulled in frustration, but things did not seem to turn for the better.

At that moment, a clicking sound caught both girls' attention, and the door opened.

Uehara's heart sank. If the manager or any guard would see them struggling like this, it's all over.

Looking back as far as her head can allow, she can infer that even Amagi's expressions turned sour at the sight of the entrant.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's your favorite idol Yuki-tan's time to shine!"

With a peace sign over her winking eye, the figure of Yuki-tan did not make things any better for the both of them.

Uehara rolled her eyes. Yuki-tan, real name Yui Kimura, was not good news either.

The door shut behind the idol, and she gasped. Putting her hand over her mouth and widening her eyes as much as she can, the idol gave an expression that Uehara found insulting.

"What happened to you two?! When I heard that two people were apprehended, I just had to check it out! To my surprise, it's my two love rivals for Darling right here! This is just horrible!"

Uehara was sure that neither she nor Amagi bought the sarcastic tone of concern from this pest.

Both of the idol's hands went to her hips, and her look of fake concern quickly transformed into an insultingly big smile.

"Nah, just kidding. Enjoying the Manager treatment? Serves you two right. I have to tell you that she's really an expert at that. And torture. She'll dominate you in more ways than one. Hahaha!"

"Mmpphh!" growled the black-haired girl.

"What is it? I can't understand you."

Yuki-tan walked over to the struggling girl and untied the gag.

"Owww, you're hurting me with that sarcasm. Stop it," replied Uehara. "Maybe I'll be hurt more if you're not wearing those dumb-looking antenna things on your head."

"Hey, these are not dumb-looking things! Call them hair extensions at least! Are you blind? Can't you see that they're a perfect complement to my techy gamer look today?!"

She stomped on the ground and pointed at the two things sticking out of her hair.

Set in a hairband, two antennae stretched out from the idol's head, each ending with a round disc each. The closest thing that they can be compared to would be speakers. The green accessories did complement Yuki-tan's green vest, crop top, and miniskirt. Nevertheless, Uehara felt that the two speakers stuck out like a sore thumb.

"Don't you know? I, Yuki-tan, will shock the world today and make everyone see my greatness! You're not ruining my day, you got that?! Not after I took my sweet time to drop by and give you a visit!"
