Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

A few days later, in the video store, Nicole came to report some good news to the siblings.

"...Anyway, because of Koma, the Red Fang Gang won't be coming to bother me anymore. Also, there's been some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate."

What Nicole was referring to was, of course, the matter of the safe that contained Fairy. Unfortunately, the Red Fang Gang wasn't very clear on its origin either. All they knew was that Bai Lao had also received the commission from a mysterious client. The content of the commission was simply to go to a research institute and retrieve the safe. As for other matters, like what to do with the box or who it should be handed over to, Bai Lao never told his subordinates.

"Wait a minute, Nicole. Are you saying that after all this investigation, there's been almost no progress on the box? In that case, about the investigation fee..."

Wise's words immediately made Nicole panic. After all, she still owed the video store a lot of money. "W-wait! Don't lower the price! I admit I've been busy acting as a legal representative and handling the lawsuit against Vista Industries, so I delayed your commission a little..."

"But the matter of the safe is really hard to investigate! And I also want to help those poor residents who escaped with their lives get their compensation sooner. After all, we rescued them together..."

Hearing Nicole's words, the siblings immediately felt the pressure of being put on a moral high ground.

"Nicole, thank you for tying us to the moral high ground. We'll let you off the hook this time." Although Wise had no intention of touching Nicole's commission fee in the first place, being put on the spot like this, even if he really wanted to lower the price, his conscience wouldn't allow it.

"Oh, don't be so disappointed. How about this..." Seeing Wise's helpless expression, Nicole suddenly seemed to think of something. She then leaned in with a smile, her large chest pressing tightly against Wise's arm. "As compensation for the temporary suspension of the investigation, plus the outstanding debts from past commissions, how about I repay you with my body?"

As she spoke, Nicole even winked charmingly. Feeling the sensation on his arm, Wise's heart was in turmoil for a moment, but he still managed to speak with some composure. "With the debt the Cunning Hares owes us, just Nicole alone might not be enough..."

"Aww~ Wise, you're so greedy. Then how about we add Anby? As long as we give her a hamburger..."

"That's enough! You two, stop it right now!"

While the two were still talking, Belle, who had been watching from the side, finally couldn't take it anymore. She shouted as she came forward and separated the two of them.

"What a pity. I almost managed to pay off the debt..."

"Nicole! Don't you dare mention this again! And you, brother, don't you get any ideas either!"

Under Belle's intimidating pressure, Nicole could only helplessly give up on the matter of repaying with her body for the time being. As for Wise, he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right, Nicole, how is Koma doing? I haven't seen her since that day."

Wise remembered that during the celebratory dinner that day, he had secretly stroked her ears a few times when no one was looking. He couldn't help it. Koma was sitting right next to him at the time, and later, when she got "drunk," she even leaned against his arm. With her soft ears brushing against the back of his hand, he really couldn't resist and just had to touch them a few times. Wait, speaking of which, can you get drunk on juice?

And Anby had even found out about it afterward. She was clearly a little unhappy at the time, and it took Wise a good while of coaxing her, plus a promise to take her on a date later, to appease her.

Alright, back to Nicole. After hearing Wise's question, she looked a bit lonely and seemed to have trouble speaking.

"So she really did leave after all? That's a bit of a shame..."

"A shame about what? Meow!"

"Because if I want to pet a cat in the future, I'll have to go find Little Black."

"Meow! Wise, what are you talking about, you jerk!"

"Hm? Koma, so you didn't leave." Wise put on a surprised look. In fact, he had realized she was there long ago. He only said that to tease her. But now it seemed he had gone a bit too far.

"Don't you change the subject! What do you mean, go find Little Black? Who is Little Black?! Give me a straight answer! Meow!" Koma said, getting a little emotional... (Content Deleted)...

"Alright, Koma, I was just joking. Let me go." To calm Koma down, Wise targeted the ears on top of her head, which were standing straight up because she was so agitated.

"Ahem, um, Koma, the photos I asked you to develop, are they ready?"

Hearing Nicole's voice, Koma finally came to her senses. Her face slightly red, she reluctantly hopped off Wise's body. Then, to alleviate the awkwardness, she directly took out the photos from her pocket. "Mmm, I've developed the group photos. They came out great, very clear! Here, here, this one's for Wise, this one's for Belle..."

After taking the photo from Koma, Wise took a closer look. The photo was indeed taken very well. Everyone's face could be seen clearly. Anby and Belle were sitting next to him, and Koma, who had taken the photo, occupied about a third of the frame. (I'll just post the photo in the comment section.)

However, at this moment, Wise and Belle both looked at Nicole with some anger. Belle was the first to speak up and blame her. "Nicole, for you to deceive our emotions like this is a bit too much!"

What Belle was referring to was, of course, Nicole pretending to be sad earlier, which led the siblings to misunderstand that Koma had already left.

"Oh, my apologies, my apologies. As compensation, how about I..."

"Stop right there! Don't you dare mention that idea of yours!" Noticing Nicole's gaze once again turning to her brother, Belle immediately reacted and promptly stopped her from saying anything further.

"Alright, alright. Then let me formally introduce you all. Welcome the new member of our Cunning Hares—"

"I'm Nekomiya Mana, you can call me Koma. I'm currently employed at the Cunning Hares. I'll be in your care from now on, meow!" As she spoke, Koma even purposefully acted cute. As for that photo, it was later hung up in the room on the second floor.
