Harem Hero

Rias and Mitsuru's Excellent Adventure - Part 3

"You know, sneaking around with you makes me look like a middle schooler..."

Mitsuru couldn't stop herself from commenting. Rias was so much taller, bustier and curvier than she was – and Mitsuru was confident that Rias was younger than her as well. What kind of bad deeds had she committed in a past life to deserve this kind of body? She was endeavouring to advance the human race and save billions of lives; the least reality could do was give her a few extra inches for the effort! The fact that Rias came from an ecchi anime franchise where everyone was stacked was lost in the noise.

"People come in all shapes and sizes. You have... a unique appeal. He's already surrounded by women with big boobs. Take advantage while you have the chance."

"Ugh. I don't want to hear that from a boobzilla like you!"

Rias frowned and covered her chest self-consciously, "A... boobzilla?"

The reason why Rias and Mitsuru had found themselves talking about this again was evident. The man who they had decided to shadow around the city had as of yet, done nothing of note. Mitsuru was more convinced than ever that he was an alien in disguise – so why did he continue to wander around like a lost child?

"A-Are you certain that this is him?"

Mitsuru nodded, "Look, I even went back into the security footage archive and pulled an image of him. Is it not the same person?" She held up her phone to Rias' face, exposing the exact similarities between their features. "Them having the ability to put a human disguise on isn't surprising. Infiltration techniques like this could be used to establish conditions for a full-scale invasion."

"So why didn't they do this before they arrived?"

That was something that Mitsuru didn't have an answer for. She recalled the first attack by the aliens, how they launched an attack drone right into her own backyard. They knew something – and Mitsuru was starting to suspect that they had a good idea of who the main threat to their plans really were. They didn't need to subvert governments, police or military; they needed to get rid of you. Did they know that this was going to happen?

Mitsuru couldn't remember his name, but the spy was one of the two commanders who had attacked previously. He stopped outside of an electronics store and observed the products through the front window for several minutes in an attempt to blend in. It was very clear to a casual observer that he was trying to do something suspicious. Most people just walked to their preferred destination without stopping.

"Watching this moron is starting to piss me off," Mitsuru griped.

Once he was sure that nobody was watching (incorrectly,) he moved behind the building and through the alleyway. Judging by the way he was looking at one of the junction boxes for the building – Mitsuru knew that he was going to do something. He tore the metal padlock away from the grey contained and ragged the door open. Then, he retrieved a small device from his pocket and slipped it inside.

"He's doing something," Mitsuru whispered back to Rias.

But that was all he intended to do. Happy with the job, he dusted off his hands, slammed the door shut, and continued on his merry way. Mitsuru acted quickly. She drew a small 3D printed pistol from her pocket and aimed it at his back. With a pull of the trigger a small tracking device flew from the barrel and latched onto his clothes for later. The computer system at the lab would compile his movements for her. He didn't even notice it landing on him.

"What was that?"

Mitsuru smirked, "Tracking device. I want to investigate what he did – so we can't follow him without splitting up. I can check the data later and see if he did the same to any other buildings." Mitsuru waited until he was out of sight before moving up to the box. She opened the door, revealing a strange, spider-like device with a fluctuating graph on a miniature screen. It had been hooked on to the wires that managed the internet and phone service.
