Becoming Professor Moriarty’s Probability

Chapter 61: The Deceiver and the Deceived

The morning after I made Rachel Watson submit to me…

“… Miss Holmes?”

On a weekend, following my usual routine, when I visited Mycrony Holmes’ mansion, I couldn’t help but widen my eyes in surprise.

“Oh my, I wonder which one of us you’re calling.”

“……..”

Unlike usual, where only a few attendants would wait in the living room, Charlotte Holmes could be seen sitting on the sofa, staring at me intently with those metallic-grey eyes of hers.

“What are you doing here?”

“Is it that strange for a younger sister to be in her elder sister’s home?”

After staring blankly at her for a moment, I asked that question and immediately received a very reasonable response.

“… Now that I hear it, it does make sense for you to be here.”

“However, it’s a bit strange for Mr. Adler to visit my sister’s secret residence, right?”

Upon hearing her response, I glanced at Mycrony and spoke up.

“The highest authority in England secretly wanted to see my performance, so I was coordinating schedules with the person who is essentially the British government itself.”

“I didn’t know Her Majesty the Queen was interested in theatre.”

“Surprisingly, it’s true, Charlotte.”

As I calmly countered Charlotte’s skeptical voice and stared quietly at Mycrony, she chuckled and backed my words.

“From now on, I need to discuss top-secret information regarding the royal family with Mr. Adler here, so shall we end today’s meeting here?”

“… Hmm.”

Then, Charlotte rested her chin in her hand and tilted her head to the side.

“Mr. Adler must be quite lucky.”

“………”

“An aspiring actor who is so eager that they even want to eat up the most powerful person in England.”

With that, she whispered to me with a mischievous smile.

“… Miss Holmes, you shouldn’t speak like that.”

“Today, I particularly miss the mana stone powder and my trusty pipe.”

Then, Charlotte murmured and reached for my hair.

“If it weren’t for your genes combining inside my belly, I would have been intoxicated myself already.”

“… I thought you quit.”

“Why don’t you try some too, Mr. Adler?”

With her familiar hand gesture, she plucked out a few strands of my hair, dropped them into her mouth, and then leaned in closely, murmuring eerily.

“Perhaps it can cure that chronic condition of yours— lechery.”

“Miss Holmes.”

“Pfft, hahaha…”

Then, she suddenly burst into a hearty laughter.

“You’re adorable, Mr. Adler.”

“……..”

“If you keep making such cute expressions, you might even be able to lure the other half of the women of London into your bed.”

She grabbed my hand and twirled around as if dancing on her feet, then headed towards the exit with light steps.

– Clack…

Suddenly, she pulled out a handgun from her pocket.

“Stay still.”

“Oh my…”

I froze thinking the worst had finally arrived when Charlotte raised her gun and shouted loudly with a cold smile on her face.

“Bang!”

And then there was silence.

“… Miss Mycrony .”

“Yes”

“Excuse me, but did your sister take any drugs by any chance?”

“I don’t think so.”

When I looked at Charlotte with an incredulous gaze and asked her sister, Mycrony responded with a gentle smile on her face.

“It’s just a form of behavior I’ve always seen from my sister when she’s about to die of boredom from a lack of cases.”

“… Is that so?”

“When my sister is on drugs, she actually becomes more clear-headed.”

Deep in her sincere eyes, her deep grey irises shone in a dark hue.

“Ever since you appeared in her life, she has been in that state.”

“………..”

“But for some reason, my sister now seems to have reverted to the state before she met you.”

It was definitely good news.

According to Watson, after the Reigate case, Charlotte had locked herself up in her boarding house in a broken state.

If she had gotten out of that state and returned to her original quirky genius girl shape then it was truly a big relief for me.

“Or she might’ve done a 180 and then another 180, making it seem like she’s back to her original state.”

“……..”

But in the midst of Mycrony’s gloomy speculation, there was a moment when I wore a slightly worried expression.

“… Mr. Adler.”

Charlotte, who had been staring intently at me with the sights of her pistol, suddenly began to smile eerily.

“When you’re done talking with my sister, come to the boarding house.”

Hearing her words, I tilted my head, to which she quietly squinted her eyes.

“I have something to tell you.”

“… Why not just tell me now?”

“I don’t want to though…”

“Is there a reason it can’t be done here?”

She firmly shook her head and whispered in a soft tone.

“It’s a new riddle.”

And in the next moment…

– Bang!!!

Her pistol suddenly fired a bullet.

“If you don’t come, something like this might happen.”

The portrait of the Queen of England that had been hanging in Mycrony’s room now lay shattered on the floor.

“That’s treason, Charlotte.”

“It’s fine. The British royal family owes me quite a lot. The benevolent queen, who has averted national crises several times by using my services, will surely turn a blind eye…”

She twirled the pistol in her hand, looking pleased as she gazed at the scene she had created, and then started walking off again with a cheerful expression on her face.

“And I am a staunch patriot. That’s why I only dropped it on the floor and didn’t do anything else.”

“………”

“Probably just need to replace the glass, right?”

Charlotte, about to step out through the front door, suddenly turned her head with a mischievous smile on her face.

“… Of course, Mr. Adler isn’t Her Majesty the Queen.”

“………..”

“So, you mustn’t forget to come to the boarding house, okay?”

Her eyes stared straight at me until the door closed, covering them, but they no longer shone with the darkness I once saw in them.

– Clack…

The problem was, now instead of her eyes, it was her black pistol that could be seen, gleaming and being reloaded in the gap of the door.

“London’s crazy bitch has returned!”

“………”

As I stared blankly at the scene before me in a daze, a languid voice came from behind.

“Now she finally seems like my little sister.”

Mycrony Holmes, resting her chin on her hand, murmured with a smile stretching her lips.

“… And how was she before?”

“She seemed like a teenage girl going through puberty.”

“Hmm.”

At her precise analysis, I momentarily stroked my chin and asked out of genuine curiosity,

“So, what do you think brought Miss Holmes back to her usual self all of a sudden?”

“She finally found the answer after being lost in a maze for a long time.”

“That’s rather vague, don’t you think?”

“Would it suffice to say she finally came to realize and accept something?”

Then, Mycrony Holmes replied with a voice mixed with laughter, her hand covering her mouth.

“So, what exactly…”

“You know very well why, don’t you, Mr. Adler?”

She slightly opened her eyes and began to smile coldly.

Charlotte Holmes is in love with you.

“…… Hmm.”

And just then, the message from yesterday came to mind, as if it were an answer to my question.

“The moment you enter the boarding house, you might even receive a proposal from my sister.”

“You sure have a sense of humor, Miss Holmes.”

“I’ve heard rumors that Miss Lestrade is frantically searching for you, due to your recent disappearance. I’m really curious how this will turn out.”

Mycrony Holmes, reminding me of the dizzying scenarios, cleared the papers in front of her with a delicate smile on her lips.

“That’s not all. Her Majesty the Queen has been repeatedly requesting to meet with you in person. You sure are lucky when it comes to women.”

“Pardon?”

Then she began to spill some unbelievable words to me in a nonchalant voice.

“Of course, I dismissed her requests. I did fall slightly out of the Queen’s favor because of that, but my influence can’t be so easily shaken.”

“Why did you do that?”

Realizing that the lie I had told to avoid the situation had actually turned into reality sent shivers down my spine, and there was also a hint of regret in my heart after learning of this news.

After all, it could have been a golden opportunity to have the Queen of England herself to back me up.

“There was no need to jeopardize your political standing just to make things difficult for me.”

“You have no idea…”

When I said those words with a slightly regretful expression, she opened her eyes fully for the first time and began to whisper in a low voice.

“… But it’s more intriguing this way.”

At some point, a hint of seductiveness found its way into her voice.

“A younger sister on the verge of confessing, an official lover feeling guilty about her mistakes and searching you everywhere, and a queen who’s always been bothersome but is secretly eyeing the man in question.”

“……….”

“… Imagine that very same man, spending a day hiding beneath my desk without anyone’s knowledge.”

Saying those words, Mycrony Holmes slightly pushed her chair back and began to quietly tap her desk with her fingers.

“It’d feel like dying from the pure thrill and immorality of it all, wouldn’t it?”

Responding to her now familiar signal, I sighed and slid myself under her desk. Mycrony Holmes quietly pulled her chair closer, pressing him to her voluptuous form.

– Rustle…

A moment later, the top of her dress was quietly lifted.

“… Bite…”

Her pale stomach, marked here and there by clear bite marks, thus came into view.

“… Heung—”

After hesitating for a moment, I nestled myself between her legs and pressed against her stomach, taking in the soft scent emanating from her voluptuous body.

– Heup.

“Mmm.”

Biting into her flesh, I could immediately hear Mycrony’s moans along with a quiver wrecking through her body.

“”……….””

Thus began another familiar session of bloodsucking.

“Look up at me while you’re still biting me.”

“………”

“I said, look at me…”

While I had been engrossed in drinking her blood, Mycrony Holmes, stroking my head with her hands, whispered those words to me in an eerie tone.

“… Yes.”

Quietly lifting my head to look at her, I immediately saw Mycrony Holmes’ face, flushed with exhilaration and glee.

– Rustle…

While in that position, she who had momentarily met my eyes, raised her clothes and covered my face with it.

“…… Ah.”

Then, leaning her back against the chair, she began to wear a dazed expression with her eyes tightly shut.

“… Today, high-ranking government officials are scheduled to visit me.”

“…..?”

“There’s an important meeting, you see…”

After holding me inside her clothes for a long time, she whispered those words in a soft voice.

“It’ll probably end by evening.”

“……….!”

“Can you behave until then?”

I thought of shaking my head in worry of getting caught, but her legs began to tighten around me quietly.

“Come in~”

As I was surprised by the unexpected strength of those delicate legs of hers, just then, Mycrony called out in a clear voice.

– Creeeak…

Following that, the sound of footsteps started to resonate in the room as the door opened.

“It’s okay.”

From within her clothes, where I was casting her a resentful look, her faint voice came through.

“… Your face will likely pale over time, sitting there like that, but it’ll just make you look a bit more frail than usual. Nothing special.”

“……..”

Given that her voice still sounded somewhat dazed and languid, it seemed that she needed a much stronger stimulus.

“It’s more thrilling that way, isn’t it?”

If that was the case, then I had no choice but to oblige.

– As Mr. Devil mentioned, all the guards are positioned outside. Should we handle it?

– Hmph, seems like a trap to me.

– Master, the Cat Princess has a point. Please, be careful.

While I quietly bit into her lower belly, I heard the voices of my loyal subordinates through a telepathic magic that only I could utilize in this world.

‘… No matter how I see it, today is the only chance.’

Whether to take a risk and further expand the organization or hesitate and slowly be crushed…

It was time to choose the direction that I needed to take at the most significant crossroads that I had faced in recent times.

Several hours after that event…

Outside the secret residence of Mycrony Holmes, as the distinguished visitors took a break and briefly left their seats and got out of the room…

“… If that’s true, the situation is quite dire.”

“Yes, it’s an emergency.”

Her loyal retainers, who had been standing guard outside, were conversing with sweat dripping from their brows.

“They might take advantage of that short break.”

“Should we break down the door and rush in?”

“… It’s too risky. We don’t know how Adler might react.”

In the eyes of the woman standing at the center, surprisingly, the situation inside the room was being reflected in real-time.

– Ugh…

– Haven’t you let your guard down a bit too much just because I’ve been obediently following all your commands?

– S, stop…

– It’s futile. Just surrender and become mine.

Isaac Adler was sitting on top of a pale-faced Mycrony, gripping her hands fiercely, his eyes glowing red as he sucked her blood.

– It hurts…

– That’s why you shouldn’t have naively signed the contract.

To any observer, it was clear that this was an unexpected turn of events.

“Miss Mycrony…”

The so-called Hounds, the devoted followers of Mycrony Holmes.

Among them, the captain who had the ability to always sense any and all danger that may come her master’s way, began to show increasing signs of unease.

“One on the roof of the building, one in the alley… No, two.”

“Considering that they’ve been prepared by Isaac Adler, we can expect them to be extremely dangerous.”

“What should we do now?”

The agents reported to her with a composed demeanor and asked for their future course of action.

“… What to do, huh?”

The captain, who had been standing still all this time, clenched her teeth and responded in a soft voice.

“The only one who called my curse a blessing was her.”

At her words, the agents silently nodded and began eyeing their adversaries with sharp eyes.

“”………..””

The moment when a bloody battle for dominance over London was about to erupt…

“………?”

A look of confusion and bewilderment appeared on the face of the captain who had been coldly observing the situation inside the room.

“… What is it, Captain?”

“What’s going on?”

Her subordinates hastily posed questions due to her abrupt change in expression, but the captain stood still, unable to say anything for a while…

“That’s…”

Just a few seconds prior, Mycrony Holmes, who had been wearing an expression as if terrified by the unexpected situation, began to blush and pant heavily the moment Isaac Adler buried his head into her neck.

– Ah, heung… hauuh…

– St, stop now…

In that state, she began to let out faint, quivering moans and subtly moved her lips to convey something…

‘Keep. An. Eye. Out.’

“………”

With such a clear message, the captain’s gaze started to dull.

“What the hell is happening?”

“… We need to move now, Captain.”

“While we hold our ground against them, Captain, you should hurry inside…”

Whether or not they understood her intentions, her subordinates urged her with clear desperation in their voices.

– Keuk…

The moment the captain’s gaze wavered at that voice, Mycrony Holmes gently wrapped her legs around the waist of Isaac Adler, who was looming over her body.

– You shouldn’t do this…

“……..?”

And then, Mycrony shyly turned her head, avoiding the puzzled gaze of Adler.

“… Now that I think about it, it was indeed a curse, after all.”

“Huh?”

Upon noticing the melting expression on her face, the captain began to walk forward with a carefree demeanor.

“Let’s go eat some food, shall we?”

“”……..???””

The twisted romantic entanglements between Mycrony Holmes and Isaac Adler persisted throughout her subordinates’ meal.
