He was abducted

(1st POV)

Standing here alone, I realized that waiting for someone under the sun wasn't the brightest idea I had.

I knew that arriving earlier than your partner gave a better image of yourself, but it also feels a little awkward, especially when you are standing alone and people are giving you side glances.

There were even brave souls who tried to hit on me, but I dodged like a professional martial art practitioner.

Looking at my phone, I checked the time and it was almost the promised time

"Sorry, did I make you wait?"

Hearing a familiar voice in front of me, I took my eyes off the screen and looked at the girl in front of me.

Kuroneko wasn't using the eye lenses that she usually uses, her dark blue eyes looked to the side and her cheeks were red like strawberries. She was wearing a white dress that made her look pure.

"How do I look?" She asked while her fingers were fidgeting.

"You look cute," I said which made her blush even more. How cute.

Then I extended my hand to her and offered to her, "Then let's go?"

She nodded and took my hand, walking beside me.

We entered the mall where the terrorists attacked previously and surprisingly, it was already repaired. I bet if this was in Europe it would take weeks or even months to be repaired.

"Do you have anywhere that you want to go?" I asked since I didn't plan our date.

"Let's go there first," She said and pointed at a certain shop that I was very familiar with.

It was an anime/manga related shop which I didn't mind, so I nodded and we entered it.

"Welcome," The cleric said in a bored tone, but as soon as she saw us, I could see her eyes widening, "Wait…aren't you two the ones who saved us during the terrorist attack?"

"Yeah, it was us," I replied. So this was one of the people that were taken as hostages?

"Oh my god, wait I will call the manager!" She said hurriedly and took a phone out of her pocket and called someone.

"Then we will just look around in the meantime," Kuroneko said and pulled me inside.

We walked around and saw the figurines inside the glass window.

"Oh this one looks cute," She crouched down and pointed at a half-naked maid with cat ears and was making a cute pose.

"Agree," I nodded in agreement, "But aren't the colors a little off?"

"Now that you say, the leg is a little bent…" She sighed and got up.

"What about this? I think this is cute," I said and pointed at an almost naked nun with only underwear.

"...I don't know why, but I feel this somehow makes sense," Kuroneko said and both of us chuckled.

In the end, we choose that one and a few cultured ones. When we arrived at the counter though, there was one more person in there and as soon as they saw us, they bowed literally 90º.

"Thank you for saving us!" The person which I presume is the manager said.

"Your welcome," I said and a smile formed on our faces.

Then we handed over the merchandise but he just put them in a plastic bag and handed it back to us.

"You don't need to pay, consider this as our way to express our thanks," He said.

"But…" Kuroneko wanted to protest, but I put my hand on her shoulder, "...I understand."

"See you next time! And try not to be held hostage again!" I said as he walked out of the shop along with Kuroneko.

After that, they went to a cafe nearby to take a quick rest, but as they arrived at the entrance, they saw a couple that they didn't expect.

"Ikki and Stella?"

"Hmmn? Shirou and Ruri? What are you doing here?" Stella asked, but then a teasing smile formed on her face, "Hoooo? Don't tell me…are you two on date?"

Kuroneko blushed but nodded regardless. Ikki laughed dryly and asked, "Since we are all here, why don't we go inside together?"

"Sure," I replied and looked at Kuroneko, who nodded.

We entered the cafe and sat at an empty table. After ordering our drinks, Stella looked at us and I could see her eyes radiating with curiosity.

"So, how far have you two gone?" Stella asked, and Kuroneko's blush increased slightly.

"W-We only held hands! Nothing major!" Kuroneko said as her eyes diverted from Stella's and immediately tried to change the topic, "Then what about you, what are you doing?"

"We are on date of course!" Stella said as she puffed her chest in pride, "But you know that trying to change the topic is futile right?".

Kuroneko looked away as the blush increased even more.

"Well, don't tease her too much," I said as I tried to stop them from teasing her further, as I could feel that Kuroneko won't handle it, "Why don't we enjoy the drinks?"

Then the waitress put our drinks on the table and we kept talking for a while before finally deciding to head back to the dormitory.

However, on the road, there were people looking in our direction and pointing their fingers at us, or more specifically, at Ikki.

'So that ball of fat finally decided to move,' I thought as we could see a crowd gathering at the gate.

"Onii-sama!" "ikki-chan!" "Kurogane-senpai!"

Shizuku, Alice and Kagami ran to us as soon as they spotted us.

"Hmn? What happened? Why are there so many people here?" Ikki asked, confused about what was happening.

"Look at this!" Kagami said as she handed over the newspaper.

It was basically saying Ikki, the worst student in the academy, seduced Stella and his attitude has been problematic to the Knight Federation for a long time…Basically, all made up lies to trash Ikki's reputation and checkmate him.

And the culprit of this was…

A car stopped near us and a person, who could only be described as a far ugly bastard stepped out of it with a disgusting smile on his face that made the fat curl on its own, making layers of it.

<...>

(Author's POV)

"Who is he?" Alice whispered to Shizuku, feeling the tension in the air.

"Akaza Mamoru, one of the leechers of father," Shizuku said back in a low voice and disgust was evident in her tone.

"Kurogane Ikki-kun," Akaza said with a short laugh, "It's been decided that there will be an inquiry in regards to this incident. Could I ask you to accompany me?"

"Wait, an inquiry!?" Stella gasped as well as others.

"This is an official call from the Morals Committee. Of course, you will come, won't you?"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want!?" Stella protested immediately.

"I won't let you do anything you want to Onii-sama," Shizuku said as she prepared to strike there.

The commotion picked the attention of the crowd in the gates as they looked at the group and were about to approach them, but they were quickly stopped by some of Akaza's guards.

Then Ikki raised his hand and patted Shizuka and Stella's shoulders.

"It's fine, I will be right back," Ikki said with an assuring smile, "This is my problem."

"But…" The girls wanted to protest, but he continued.

"Alice, Shirou and Ruri, please take care of Shizuku and Stella in my stead," Ikki asked and they nodded before he gave them a final look and entered the car.

"..."

Silence fell on us after Ikki parted and almost none of them knew what to talk about in this pressured atmosphere.

"This isn't good…" Shirou said, breaking the awkward silence.

"What do you think they will do to him?" Stella asked, a bit fearful in her tone.

"Ikki will basically be tortured in whatever the place they bring him," Shirou said as he earned the shock of his friends.

"What!?" Stella, Shizuku and Ruri gasped in surprise and fear.

"They want him to lose miserably and thus trash his reputation. Or even making him give up being a Magic Knight. Either by force or voluntary," He explained, remembering what happened in the series, "So that's why they will torture him, both physically and mentally."

"Is there anything we can do?" Alice asked since she felt that Shirou might have known something.

"Maybe, but right now we should return to our rooms and discuss tomorrow, this isn't exactly a good place to talk," Shirou said as he looked at the side, where people tried to overhear their talk.

They nodded albeit in a depressive aura surrounding them. Arriving at their room, Kuroneko let herself fall on the sofa and Shirou went to the kitchen.

"I am tired…" Kuroneko complained as Shirou approached and gave her a glass of fresh tea, "Thanks."

Shirou sat next to her with his own glass of tea, "Sorry, our date was ruined thanks to that bastard."

"Don't worry, it's not your fault. Besides…" Kuroneko said, "...What will we do now?"

"Hmn…" Shirou hummed and thought for a moment before smiling, "I think I have an idea. The plan will start tomorrow."

"But don't we have matches tomorrow? How will we do it?" Kuroneko asked, to which Shirou grinned.

"Did you forget? We aren't here alone," Shirou said, in which Kuroneko widened her eyes seconds later.

"Our group!" She exclaimed and the young priest nodded.

"Indeed, but first we need to rest, it won't be good if we wake up tomorrow like a corpse," Shirou said as he got up and walked away.
