Uncle, I'm Sorry, Mi
(Miluno)
Not long after Mono made his boast, Dantai Xue actually came out of the corridor room and ran towards a private room.
Ceruno, unable to hear the conversation between me and Mono in her head, looked bewildered and asked:
"Miluno, what did Mono do?"
I don't know what she did, and the little thing herself wouldn't say, only urging:
"Hey, why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Following in Dantai Xue's footsteps, Ceruno and I arrived at the private room where the incident had occurred. Several magical girl waitresses were peering out from the door, and we couldn't squeeze Past for a moment.
Although they couldn't see what was happening inside the private room, they could hear the waiters whispering among themselves.
"What happened?"
"It seems the guest in room six has reverted to their original form ahead of schedule. Has the young lady lost her magic?"
"Impossible, right? If the young lady runs out of magic, won't we turn back into normal?"
"This customer is an older man who came alone, and he's even wearing women's clothing! It's all stretched out, he'll probably demand compensation, right?"
"It seems like they were doing that kind of thing until they turned back..."
"Wow, Ma Ji is washing his pantyhose."
Wait, the guest has turned back?
What did the little thing do?
After hearing the waiters' descriptions, I was a little reluctant to see what was happening inside the private room.
"It's simple! They cut off Dantai Xue's magic supply, so the magic naturally stopped working!"
After explaining the situation to Ceruno, she also looked embarrassed.
"Although we successfully got Snow Sis out of the corridor, isn't this uncle a little pitiful?"
Well, there is a bit of that...
The customers who come to this place are there to satisfy their secret fantasies. The private rooms are there to ensure their privacy. If they were caught doing that, they'd probably want to die, right?
"Go away, what are you looking at! Stop blocking the doorway, go back to work!"
After chasing away the magical girl waitress at the door, Dantai Xue took out a new Crystal from her pocket and handed it to the uncle. Then, she cast the Many-Faced Guest's magic again, turning the uncle back into a "magical girl".
Even so, the awkwardness in the air did not dissipate. The uncle, now a magical girl, kept his head down, having lost interest in continuing his self-amusement.
"We apologize for the unpleasant experience. These imitation Crystal are experimental samples and are still subject to many instabilities during use. We hope you will understand."
Although Dantai Xue didn't know what had happened, she acted like a proper and well-mannered store manager.
But who would have thought that behind the mirror was a drooling, lustful woman, perhaps even enjoying the spectacle from behind the mirror before the man turned back?
To be honest, Dantai Xue is a really awful person.
"Miluno! This is an opportunity!"
Ceruno's reminder.
Of course I understood what she meant. The magical girl waitresses were all ready to be chased away by Dantai Xue, but the door wasn't closed yet, so we could enter the private room without any hindrance.
"Time-Freeze!"
Ceruno, who was holding my arm, also entered an accelerated state. The two people in the private room were almost frozen in motion, only able to move at an extremely slow speed.
Entering the private room and coming up behind Dantai Xue, I took the encapsulated battery off my belt and took out the prepared Demon Eye from it, quickly stuffing it into Dantai Xue's back.
If you don't see it directly, the process of the Demon Eye merging into your body is almost imperceptible. Before Dantai Xue even realized it, we had already left the private room.
Actually, she wouldn't have seen us even if we hadn't sneaked out, but the awkwardness inside the private room made it hard to stay long, especially with that cross-dressing man...
Ceruno, who had been too afraid to utter a sound until now, asked, even though she knew she wouldn't let her voice slip.
"Hmm? How did it go? Was the Demon Eye implantation successful? How's the situation?"
She didn't even see what I did clearly, so that's the only question she could ask.
"Mono, let's test it out."
"Leave it to them!"
Long before we left, the little thing had already placed Demon Eye in our bodies, so she could project Dantai Xue's gaze into my and Ceruno's eyes at the same time, and even block our original vision.
Dantai Xue was still apologizing to the guests.
But he kept staring at the skin exposed beneath the ripped clothes.
This person is terrible.
It's not good in any sense.
Is this Snow Sis's gaze?
Perhaps because of the unease caused by the visual obstruction, Ceruno, who couldn't see me to begin with, clung even tighter to my arm, giving me the illusion that we were embracing naked...
But in reality, they're pretty much the same.
They were both wearing thin, close-fitting combat suits, so they could truly feel the softness and body temperature. In fact, it was precisely because they were invisible that they could feel it more directly, because the tactile feedback became stronger since they couldn't see it.
But it seems I'm the only one having such frivolous thoughts, Ceruno simply said...
"Mono's magic is very useful! Speaking of which, how can magic still be used even though the Base Body is offline? Perhaps we can get some useful information from Snow Sis!"
She admires Mono!
I don't seem to feel anything special about being hugged in person...?
"That's about right. What's it like to hug a steel plate? Like, 'It's hard' or something?"
With his clone not around, Mono's attitude gradually became arrogant.
But then suddenly the line of sight from Dantai Xue's side was cut off, restoring our view.
"Time to get out of here! A waiter is pushing a food cart out of the kitchen! If you keep cuddling and kissing in the aisle, he won't be responsible if you get bumped into!"
Mono is doing a good job playing the role of an investigator.
"Ceruno, it's time to go."
He slipped out of the restaurant, but Mono continued to monitor Dantai Xue with his implanted Demon Eye.
The Demon Eye has a time limit, but it lasts for quite a long time. Mono can continue to share Dantai Xue's audiovisual experience during this period, so there is no need for him to stay in the restaurant any longer.
Next, we should go to Dantai Society.
But then a new problem arises...
"I've never been to the Dantai Society before, but you've come this time."
All that is known is that it is a base of a criminal organization, with potential informants lurking there.
Ceruno held me tightly, saying:
"Wait, my teleportation range isn't that far! Go to Xiyintang first, it's very close!"
"And where is this Xiyintang?"
I've never been to Xiyintang.
"It's the traditional Chinese medicine shop at Quanyin- nee's house... Hmm, Miluno has never been there either, so I guess I'll have to rely on multiple jumps to Past?"
Ceruno muttered to herself and opened another teleportation channel in the subway tunnel.
However, passing through the teleportation tunnel led to a bustling city street.
Pedestrians on the street were surprised by the sudden appearance of the teleportation portal, but they couldn't see us emerging from it.
"Wow, there are so many people!"
Nevertheless, feeling embarrassed by her attire, Ceruno hurriedly opened the next teleportation portal.
"No one can see us, so we don't have to worry even if we run naked, right?"
Besides, she was wearing a bodysuit...
As I said this, I heard Ceruno mutter softly in my ear:
"Miluno, don't you have any shame?"
