Mind-Control Prison: Betelgeuse Arc - Mi
(Miluno)
On the gentle slope on the west side of Nabu Island stands a detached three-story wooden villa.
This also continues Sirius's unique open-plan design concept; I could see the entire building's layout clearly from the entrance.
The first floor is the largest, featuring a completely open-plan living room, dining room, and bathroom with no partitions, even the bathroom is very airy;
The second floor is called Hui, with guest bedrooms and study rooms. There is a small atrium with excellent lighting in the middle. The area is not large, but the mountains, rocks, water and trees are very elegant;
The third floor was very tall, like a lookout tower, but there was only one room. I don't know what the room was used for, but the angle of the window was just right to overlook the prison at the foot of the mountain. I guess it was Sirius's own bedroom.
Meanwhile, Betelgeuse, a beautiful girl with long blue hair, was lying on a semi-enclosed cabin chair in the living room, wearing only a vest and panties as always. Snacks and water were placed within easy reach, just like Ceruno's lazy demeanor when she was home alone.
She wore a device called the "Mind-Linking Framework" on her head, which looked like a VR headset. In this state, she was completely unaware of the outside world, but she didn't see any robot clones around her.
"Miluno, is she connected to that Superbrain?"
The Ancient Computer, known as the Superbrain, was placed next to the cabin chair. The blue ice block was now slightly glowing, and many electrode-like objects were attached to it, flashing with channel signal light.
Mono proposed:
"Should we wake her up and ask her?"
"Hmm, it looks like he won't wake up anytime soon."
Too lazy to ring the doorbell, Mono opened the teleportation portal and entered the living room. He rubbed his hands together and wriggled his fingers toward Betelgeuse, who was lying there...
"Hehehe, little beauty~"
Even though she was an enemy prisoner, it was still too pitiful for her to be molested by Mono.
So before those devilish claws could even touch Betelgeuse's chest, I took out a bronze gong the size of a washbasin and slammed it down.
Sulfuric acid--!!!
"Whoa?!"
As a result, Betelgeuse was so frightened that it flipped off its deck chair.
"Hey, aren't you a coward?"
She took off the VR headset, glaring resentfully at the gong in my hand, but didn't dare to speak. Half of her body was still hidden on the other side of the cabin seat. This reaction reminded me of the ungrateful stray cat downstairs in the apartment building. For every step Mono took forward, she would take three steps back.
"Hey you, we've teamed up before, why are you so wary? Even SpiCa's magic can't cure your autism?"
Speaking of this...
I recalled the situation when Jaeger first arrived at the City School, and then I gave the order:
"Betelgeuse, I command you to stand before me immediately."
My body was out of control. The witch hiding behind the cabin seat immediately stood up and quickly walked to stand in front of me. She stood very close, so close that I could see the demonic valley at the neckline of her vest when I looked down. But Betelgeuse's face was filled with a panicked emotion that looked like he was about to cry.
It's truly terrifying when your body goes against your mind...
"Hehehe, I see. Well then, Sam-chan! Now, come hug me and give me a kiss... Wow!?"
Mono tried to give the order, but I grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him onto the sofa.
"Stop causing trouble. Can you stop acting like a pervert all day?"
She was still on the sofa, looking aggrieved, and complaining:
"What do you mean by 'pervert'? I just wanted to kiss, hug, and lick cute girls! I didn't plan to do anything further!"
These things are already way too much!
Whenever I develop some feelings for her, I immediately squander them...
When I turned around, I saw Betelgeuse opening her arms and hugging me, pouting her lips as she tried to kiss my face. Her face was flushed, and her rapid, hot breath sprayed onto my neck... She had a naturally charming face and a devilishly good figure, and her passionate offensive was extremely destructive.
Despite feeling parched, I stopped them:
"Stop, stop! We're not familiar with each other yet!"
As soon as I said that, she quickly took a few steps back.
She would carry out any order Mono gave her halfway through; if she were asked to commit suicide, she probably wouldn't hesitate. The power of SpiCa's brainwashing for just one hour is terrifying...
But it's also very useful.
In this way, we can extract a lot of information from Betelgeuse.
"Move over, let me sit down too."
I pushed Mono aside and sat down on the sofa. Betelgeuse was standing by the sofa. Although she was a seasoned homebody, she had a very attractive figure. Not only did she not have any excess fat, but her features also exuded a natural charm.
Sirius's sofa was so soft it seemed to have a suction effect; once I sank in, Betelgeuse's plump yet not greasy thighs were level with my line of sight.
"... Uh, what would you like to wear first?"
She quickly put on a skirt, and then I said:
"Now let's get down to business. You must answer all my questions verbally, and you are not allowed to lie, understand?"
That was a question in itself, so Betelgeuse replied, "I understand."
Unlike Jaeger's completely natural brainwashing reaction, Betelgeuse showed obvious resistance to commands, yet her body carried them out without the slightest hesitation. This contradictory reaction made her all the more... interesting?
But my expression remained as indifferent as ever.
"I came here today to find out the progress of the analysis of the Ancient Computer in Taiwan. Are we able to browse the data inside yet?"
She had only been shy before, but after putting on the dress, the blush on her face faded considerably, though her resentment was still evident on her face.
She replied:
"It still can't be opened, but there is a message... converted to Earth time, this is the construction time of this Superbrain... its manufacturing time is more than two thousand years ago."
After all, it was only handed over to her last night; is it really not that easy to crack?
"More than two thousand years ago? Does that mean that world continued to exist for at least two thousand years after it was on the verge of destruction?"
"Yes."
Two thousand years is a much longer time than we imagine.
Therefore, until Betelgeuse is officially deciphered, it will be impossible to know when the Natives civilization perished.
"I'll leave the task of cracking the Ancient Computer to you."
She seemed to think I was about to leave, and even moved aside half a step.
"What's the rush? I want to know more about 'the Other Side'... or about you."
Betelgeuse's expression darkened again, and he seemed reluctant to speak.
"Miss war criminal, you don't really think you can go back, do you?"
That's a question, so she answered:
"Able."
She genuinely believed it was possible, and she answered honestly.
How do you plan to get back?
"I can hack into your Wormhole Device and escape--!"
Betelgeuse tried to cover its mouth, but still couldn't help but utter the truth.
"Miluno, quickly ask her if she's still a virgin—waaaaaah?!"
After planting Mono, whose mind was full of nonsense, in the grove outside the villa, I returned to the living room.
"Alright, let's continue with the Q&A session."
I'm not surprised that Betelgeuse has its own agenda.
But this also raises other issues.
"Since you have a way to leave, why don't you go? Don't lie, and don't downplay the important points. I want to hear the real reason."
When I said that, her eyes reddened as if she was about to cry, but she still stubbornly stared at me.
"Going back would only mean facing judgment from the 'Supreme Council,' so I might as well stay here and coast along."
Words that one wouldn't normally say came out under the influence of SpiCa's magic.
"Hmph, you're quite honest."
I couldn't help but smile.
"Then I'll ask one last question: what exactly happened during the First Expedition?"
