Chapter 4 - Saeko the seductress

Estimated reading time: ±8 minutes

I get up three hours later, put my hair replace my hair and get dressed again by humming. Strangely, I feel fine, even though I feel a little ball in my stomach from time to time, I still don't know why. I'm not the kind of girl who gets sick, though. I'm going out to see what Drake's doing. I'm going to walk around the hangar looking for him. I finally found him in the kitchen, he was eating pasta.

Drake: Oh, well! You're finally awake.
Saeko: Well, yeah, what did you think?
Drake: I don't know, I wasn't allowed in.
Saeko: Hm, yeah, that's right~
Drake: So, are you ready?
Saeko: Yeah, and you, you glutton.
Drake: I need to eat more to balance the amount of calories I consume by running everywhere.
Saeko: I see, I have enough blood~
Drake: I'm sure you will.

He finishes eating in a hurry and gets up.

Drake: All right! Let's go! I'll drive you to the bar where Lily is.
Saeko: Hm, Lily, that's a cute name.
Drake: Yeah, anyway, let's go.
Saeko: You seem in a hurry all of a sudden.
Drake: No, not especially.

I'm taking my jacket that Drake had hung on the back of a chair.

Saeko: Is it still raining?
Drake: No, not anymore.
Saeko: Good.

I place my hair well and go to the door. Drake walks behind me, I smile, I think I know where he's looking. Drake finally passes me and goes to a car. I watch him go.

Saeko: Shall we drive there?
Drake: Yeah, she's on the other side of town.
Saeko: I thought you would have been the cool guy who wanted to race~
Drake: We can if you want.

Drake gives me the address of the bar in question.

Saeko: Perfect, three, two, one, go!
Drake: Hey!

I start running, I feel Drake getting closer. I'm trying to accelerate more, but its power is really super speed. I jump up and reach a roof, I lost the race in advance, but I plan to have some fun at the same time. I run on rooftops, I love that feeling, the superiority, as much as being on rooftops above everyone else as being superior to my abilities. I continue my way for another 15 minutes before arriving near the bar, I jump off a roof to reach an alleyway. I come out and see Drake smiling at me.

Saeko: Yo~
Drake: Yo, you lost the race.
Saeko: It was to watch your little ass walk away from me.

Drake gets all red in less than a second. I smile and can't stop laughing.

Saeko: Are you serious? You're blushing for that! Ahahah!

Drake looks away, embarrassed by my remark and reaction. I ruffle his hair.

Saeko: You think I don't know you're watching me when my back is turned?
Drake: No... but, that's not it.
Saeko: Anyway, let's go into the bar.

I put my arm around his and walk to the bar smiling to make the pretty girl. Drake seems very embarrassed, but he doesn't complain about it. We arrive in front of the bar in question. The guard at the door is watching us.

Guard: $10 for men.

I look at Drake and smile. Drake's taking out a $10.

Guard: The payment is right there.

Drake's going to pay and I'm going to go in and see if I can find Lily. Drake pays and comes in, he goes the other way. I look at the girls and a little bit at the boys, there were cute people. I see Lily Fowler sitting in a back seat on a bench. A man was talking to her, she seemed interested. I approach and look at her, she turns her head towards me and smiles as she drinks her drink. I smile back at her and come and sit next to her, she fell directly under my spell. Guys leave, he understands he has no chance with her.

Lily: Hi, I'm Lily.
Saeko: And I'm Yura, nice to meet you.

I look around, I quickly scan with my eyes to try to find Drake.

Lily: Yura, that's a nice name, do you come here often?
Saeko: No, this is the first time I've been here, the atmosphere is nice.
Lily: I like the atmosphere, yeah. So are the girls.
Saeko: Do you like girls?
Lily: Yes and no, it depends on my mood after work.

I turn to her, she had just talked about her work, this is my chance to bring up the subject.

Saeko: Oh well, what do you work in?
Lily: Oh, nothing special, you'll make fun of me.

She smiles at me a little bit and hides behind her drink while drinking it.

Saeko: I promise I won't judge you.
Lily: I'm a scientist.
Saeko: Really? Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
Lily: I can't tell you what I'm working on, but it's boring as hell sometimes.
Saeko: Yeah, I can't imagine.
Lily: What else do you do for a living?

I look at her, damn it, I don't have a job, I can't tell her I'm not working and I didn't think of anything. I'm going to have to improvise.

Saeko: I am a secretary in a rental office.

I tried to be convincing and believe my lie myself, that's the best way for others to believe it. Lily smiled at me, did she believe me?

Lily: And do you like this job?
Saeko: Uh, yes, yes, there are ups and downs, the classic thing, but the fact remains that customers are happy to see my pretty face when they arrive.
Lily: You do have a pretty face.
Saeko: Really? Thank you very much.

Lily smiles and finishes her drink in one shot.

Lily: Do you want me to go get us something?
Saeko: Uh, yeah, whatever you want.

Lily gets up and goes, I sit there. I look at her, how she walks, she's clearly not drunk and she won't be, she's clearly working tomorrow. I'm gonna have to steal her access card and probably her codes, I'll do that when we get to her house. Lily comes back, I smile at her and she sits next to me. She puts the drink in front of me and explains what it is and how to drink it. We spend about an hour drinking and talking.

Saeko: Do you want me to take you home?
Lily: Oh, if you want my beautiful Yura~

I smile at her and get up, I know Drake is watching us from afar when he talks to a girl. I come out of the bar and raise my hand to call a taxi. A taxi stops in front of us and I open the door for Yura. She comes in and I come in too. Yura gives her address with a smile. The taxi starts and takes us to the front of her house. I take out money and pay.

Lily: Oh! You didn't have to pay for me!
Saeko: Don't worry, you would have done the same for me~
Lily: Um, yeah.

I open the door and get out, I help Lily out and she smiles at me. We go home and she comes to me smiling after closing her door. I smile at him, we're alone, I can do whatever I want to him. Lily gets a little closer and takes off her jacket.

Lily: Do you want to spend the night with me?
Saeko: Yeah, I'd love to, but before that~
Lily: Before what?

I don't answer her and kiss her, she answers me. I caress her arm and hold her hand. I break the kiss, she smiles at me.

Saeko: You will do as I say and answer my questions~
Lily: Yes.
Saeko: Do you work for Alpha Science?
Lily: Yes. Saeko: What level of access do you have?
Lily: 8 out of 10.
Saeko: Well, will that be enough to get the list of people with powers?
Lily: Yes.
Saeko: Perfect, you will give me your access card and all the passwords I need to go and get this list.

Lily went to a drawer and took out a piece of paper by grabbing a pencil. She writes her usernames and passwords on paper. I come to put my arms around her and give her a kiss on the neck. I'll take the card and paper and put my jacket back on.

Saeko: You will stay here, don't contact anyone and don't answer the phone.
Lily: Okay.
Saeko: Go, go to sleep, and live normally~

I go to the door and down the stairs. Lily was going to bed. I smile as I look at Drake, he was waiting for me with a coffee in his hand. I come to him, hands in my jacket pockets.

Saeko: Yo Drakounet~
Drake: Yo, how did it go?
Saeko: Yeah, she's going to stay at home until I come and get her.
Drake: And you have all the stuff we need to get the list?
Saeko: Who do you think I am? It's clear I have all this stuff~
Drake: Hm, okay. We can go home then, it's late.

I take a coffee that Drake had in his hands and start drinking it.

Drake: Hey! It was mine!
Saeko: Nothing to do, and it's not a little saliva that's going to scare me!~

I keep drinking, Drake comes walking next to me and we go back to Drake's hangar.
