Tokyo Unnatural Forensics

Chapter 298, Family Order of Succession

Kakegurui is a manga that has only recently started serialization. Uesugi Muneyuki really enjoyed reading it and bought two volumes. As a result, Watanabe Minami noticed it and she and Ikeda Erena discussed it and decided to give Uesugi Muneyuki a little treat.

Because the manga is relatively new, it's not possible to buy a dedicated cosplay outfit, but that didn't stop Minami-sama, who simply had two sets custom-made by a tailor.

Among them, Minami Watanabe cosplayed the female protagonist, Yumeko Jabami, a crazy and beautiful transfer student who is addicted to gambling. She usually has long, straight black hair and always wears the thick black pantyhose that Muneyuki Uesugi likes. However, whenever she gets involved in gambling, she goes crazy with all sorts of facial expressions and doesn't care about anything else. Because of her gambling addiction, she becomes a "livestock", which leads to a series of stories.

Reina Ikeda cosplayed as Kirari Momobami, the student council president who was the big boss in the early stages. She is also a gambling maniac, but she is much calmer than Yumeko Jabami. She knows how to use various techniques to enhance her aura and control at the gambling table. She has a silver-gray double braid hairstyle.

She skillfully imitated the wild and beautiful temperament hidden beneath the Yamato Nadeshiko style, because she herself was a beautiful person with a cool exterior but a free spirit inside. After getting to know her, Minami was quite relaxed in private.

However, Reina's cosplay of Kirari Momobami always gave Uesugi Muneyuki a feeling that something was missing.

"So, Zongxue, do you like it?" Miss Minami said with a smile.

Her long, straight, jet-black hair cascaded over the shoulders of her deep red uniform jacket. The pleated skirt and black pantyhose created a perfectly balanced extension of the dark realm. Her legs, encased in 60D thick velvet black stockings, only shimmered with a mother-of-pearl luster at the knees and ankles. The stockings were reinforced with a seamless process to fit the arch of the foot, giving them a matte texture under indoor lighting. The subtle creases at the knees caused by her sitting posture resembled ink wash painting, and the fine wrinkles from the instep to the ankle were like a work of art with negative space.

“Um… Minami said you would like it, so…” Ikeda Erena was also full of anticipation, wanting to get affirmation from Uesugi Muneyuki. However, unlike Minami, this was Erena’s first time wearing a cosplay outfit, and she even wore a wig, making her seem very nervous.

Erena's uniform at Hyakkaou Private Academy is almost identical to Minami's, except it's two sizes larger. Her 60D lace jacquard pantyhose reveal subtle golden snake patterns as she moves. The top of the thighs is embroidered with thorns symbolizing the student council's power, and the specially designed double-layered compression weave at the ankles creates powerful lines, contrasting with Minami's simpler black matte stockings. When she moves, the sheerness is precisely controlled, with the transparent toes subtly revealing the nail polish on her toes, like rubies sealed in amber. Because Erena's legs are more muscular and longer, even with the same denim thickness, a hint of flesh color shows through the thin black fabric.

"It's beautiful, I love it." Uesugi Muneyuki stretched out his arms and embraced the two beauties, one big and one small, at the same time.

Minami and Erena obediently pounced on Uesugi Muneyuki. Erena's face had an unusual blush. Although Uesugi Muneyuki had asked her to do this many times, she still felt strange about the stockings covering her buttocks. She felt a chill in her skin and couldn't help but want to press down on her skirt and squeeze her legs together.

Minami seemed to think it was great, and even explained to Erena that some ways of wearing pantyhose meant you didn't need to wear any extra clothes underneath.

Really?
Erina's brain isn't working properly.

Are these two guys teaming up to scam me?

Erina was confused, feeling like she might have been tricked, but also feeling that it didn't matter if she was tricked, since she was willing to be tricked by Uesugi Muneyuki anyway, and it wasn't the first time she had dressed like this.

"Master~ You've failed!" Just then, Uesugi Muneyuki suddenly laughed and said, "Master, your expression is not a good cosplay. The guild leader should have a smarter and calmer expression, not a silly one like you."

"Huh? Is that so?" Erena asked blankly, looking a little aggrieved. "But I haven't read the manga, so I don't know what it should be like."

"Hehe~ It's okay." Minami, the young lady, was a perfect cosplayer of Yumeko the Jade Serpent. She grinned mischievously, mimicking her own exaggerated facial expressions: "You don't need to play the confident student council president; you just need to play the president who lost a bet and became Muneyuki-kun's livestock! La la la la la la~ Ho ho~"

"Come on, let's perform some facial expressions together! Just do as I teach you." Minami, dressed as Yumeko, gave a big, ferocious, and gleeful laugh, and even made two "V" signs with her hands.

Erina tried to imitate her, but her rather dim-witted appearance made Minami and Uesugi Muneyuki burst into laughter.

"Aaaaaah! I'm not playing anymore!" Erena cried out, feeling wronged. She thought to herself, "You're all ganging up on me!"
"We can't miss this! The real showdown is just beginning!" Minami's face was flushed as she leaned against Uesugi Muneyuki's chest, saying with a hint of uncertainty, "I'm ready!"

Ok?
Looking at Minami's seemingly inept yet playful demeanor, Erena felt all her confidence return: "Are you serious?"

“Of course! I’ve had enough rest.” Miss Minami clenched her fists: “The weak me of the past is dead!”

“Alright, Erina-sensei, since Minami is so confident, let’s test her.” Uesugi Muneyuki said with a smile, holding the two beauties in black stockings and uniforms, one big and one small, in his arms.

"Pfft~" Erena couldn't help but laugh again.

Of course she knew how tender and considerate Uesugi Muneyuki had been last night, afraid of hurting Minami.

The weak Minami of the past is indeed dead.

What remains now is the even weaker Minami!
————The following is omitted————

The next day, our two-night, three-day Hakone hot spring trip finally came to an end.

Minami had originally planned to visit the Narukawa Art Museum in the morning, but she was too unconscious to get out of bed or stand up. So, Uesugi Muneyuki and Ikeda Erena had to leave her in the room while the two of them went out for a stroll, took a train to see the ruins of Odawara Castle, and then went to Gotemba Premium Outlets to do some shopping.

This time, Uesugi Muneyuki paid for it. Since the Hakone Ginyu had waived the room fee for three people, he simply used the money to buy outfits for Minami Erena, Mikoto who was struggling with her second appraisal, and Asuka who was struggling with her studies. Naturally, the outfits were bought according to Uesugi Muneyuki's preferences. On the way back at noon, Uesugi Muneyuki, sitting in the back seat, lovingly held Minami on his lap and smiled at Erena, who was driving, saying, "Master, how are you feeling?"

"Her? She must be having a blast." Minami rolled her eyes in her arms, leaning tightly against Uesugi Muneyuki's chest, feeling a surge of emotion and an indescribable sense of comfort and ease.

I'm sorry, I'm too weak and couldn't satisfy Zongxue-jun.

Minami felt a little embarrassed, realizing that she was indeed too delicate and would definitely break down if it weren't for Erina!

If it's this comfortable, I'm going to become like Erena and completely inseparable from Muneyuki-kun.

"Me? I'm fine..." Erena, who was driving, said somewhat insincerely, but judging from her expression, she was obviously very satisfied and happy with this trip to Hakone: "Mina Muneyuki, as long as you're happy."

“Anyway, I’m very happy,” Uesugi Muneyuki said mischievously.

“Shut up!” *2 Minami Erena indicated that she wasn’t asking you.

Do you even need to ask? We two beauties have been with you for three days, what else do you have to say?

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha~" Uesugi Muneyuki laughed triumphantly, tightening his grip on Minami in his arms and casting his gaze toward the sky beyond the Kanagawa coast: "I wonder how things are going at the Metropolitan Police Department."

"They're probably busy catching up on backlog cases in the office. Your sister Mikoto and the guys in the forensic department are pretty busy," Miss Minami replied casually. "But we don't need to worry about these things... By the way, how's that case from yesterday?"

"We followed the normal procedures." Uesugi Muneyuki nodded.

After the Kanagawa Police Headquarters arrived yesterday, they heard that Uesugi Muneyuki had made the judgment at the scene, so they didn't bother to investigate further and simply wrote a report based on his account to close the case. That same day, as requested by Uesugi Muneyuki, they questioned Keio University Hospital and indeed received a report that Mrs. Kamikawa did have cardiovascular disease. The body was then sent for examination, and it was indeed as Uesugi Muneyuki described: there were no other external injuries, and the cause of death was blunt force trauma. Apart from Mrs. Kamikawa's body, there were no fingerprints of Kiyoshi Kamikawa at the scene.

Therefore, the Kanagawa District Public Prosecutors Office decided not to prosecute Kiyoshi Kamikawa.

Meanwhile, the Hakone Ginyu was not affected by the murder case at the hotel. On the contrary, it became famous because Uesugi Muneyuki was there to witness the crime. They even launched a "Hakone 2-night 3-day tour, solve the case like Uesugi Muneyuki" package for a total price of 388,000 yen. The phone was flooded with reservation calls on the same day.

When the three of them returned to Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, it was already past 4 p.m. on the third day.

"Oh, I'm exhausted~" Miss Minami collapsed onto the sofa, rubbing her lower back. Her beautiful legs, clad in black stockings and slippers, swung back and forth. Half complaining and half coquettish, she said, "Anyway, I've completely given myself to you, Zongxue-kun, you can't abandon me!"

“How could that be?” Uesugi Muneyuki said succinctly, “I swear in the name of my ancestor, Lord Kenshin, that as long as you do not abandon me, I will not leave you.”

"Hehe, you're so well-endowed, even if I wanted to leave, I wouldn't be willing~" After receiving Uesugi Muneyuki's assurance, Minami turned to Erina and said, "You've worked hard this time too, Erina."

"…………" Erina, who was still taking off her shoes at the door, shook her head slightly, thinking to herself, what do you mean by hard work? I'm just enjoying myself, and I don't even have to spend any money.

Next time there's an event like this, be sure to call me Kouya!

The tall, beautiful woman blushed, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

Actually, the department head is a pretty nice person~
This trip to Hakone completely changed Erena's opinion of Minami.

"Considering your position, I have a reward for you, hehe." Minami gestured for Uesugi Muneyuki to bring the item over: "Muneyuki?"

"Hmm?!" Uesugi Muneyuki thought for a moment and understood. He went back to his bedroom and took out an owl-shaped jar.

“Starting today, you should cancel your lease on that apartment in Setagaya.” Miss Minami smiled and took something out of the jar. “Although it’s far away, the monthly rent must be tens of thousands of yen, right? You can use the money you save to do something else.”

Miss Minami's palm holds a sparkling key!
The key to apartment 1802 in the Sakata Bridge Tower!
"I approve of you, Erena!" Minami smiled and placed the key in Erena's hand. "Nice to meet you from now on~"

The moment Erina saw the key, she held her breath, and the tall beauty's legs went weak, almost bringing tears to her eyes.

We finally got the key!
Finally, I got the key to Uesugi Muneyuki's house, and I can officially move into Sakatabashi!
"You'll stay in the second bedroom, I'll stay in the master bedroom, and Asuka will stay in the room by the door." Minami officially arranged the family hierarchy: "We need to form a strong alliance as soon as possible!"

"Then, unite against external enemies!"
