Chapter 86

After saying that, Lingmeng used Spatial Movement to arrive inside Origami's House.

Well, if the situation weren't so special, Lingmeng wouldn't use a skill like Spatial Movement.

After all, her Spirit Power is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be. She used to be able to use skills that consume a lot of Spirit Power, such as space, time, and spirit.

But if she uses it too much now, she'll probably end up with kidney deficiency like that Copy Ninja, right?

However, this was not the time to worry about such trivial matters. After confirming the direction of the living room, Lingmeng quickly ran towards it.

"Don't move! FBI! Hands behind your head, squat down! All those who do smut, castrate them and make Shiori!"

She ran into the living room, looked at Shido Lingmeng the ground, and made a gun-wielding gesture to him.

Shido, on the other hand, was surprised by Lingmeng's sudden appearance. He spoke in a voice that Origami, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, couldn't hear.

"Aya... Lingmeng, what brings you here?"

Lingmeng answered truthfully.

Kotori said she lost contact with you and asked me to check on you to see if you were in danger.

So you seem to be having a great time here with Origami.

As she spoke, Lingmeng glanced at Shido, whose clothes Shido, with a look of disdain.

Shido clearly noticed his current attire and quickly straightened his clothes.

"No... it's not what you think, Lingmeng! I'm innocent!"

After straightening his clothes, Shido spoke in a flustered manner.

He had just been pushed to the ground by Origami, who was Maid Outfit, without realizing it, and then Origami planned to do something naughty to him.

If Shido hadn't fought back so fiercely, barely managing to get Origami to give up by offering to change Origami name from "Tobiichi" to "Origami," then...

So, wouldn't Shido's labels like "impotent" and "herbivore virgin" all disappear today?

Well... it's not exactly honorable to have such a title.

After some explanation, Lingmeng seemed to understand, and nodded with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Honestly, if that's the case, you should have said so earlier. I was worried you were doing something shady."

Shido could only manage a wry smile at this.

"I'm glad you didn't misunderstand."

At the same time, a thought suddenly popped into Shido's mind.

What would Tohka, who is easily jealous, do if she heard those misunderstood words just now?

Hmm... if that's really the case, then wouldn't there be an unidentified corpse in the middle of the main street of Tengu City the next day?

As he thought about it, Shido shook his head in fear.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Computer Accessories

"So? Did you find Yoshino?"

Putting aside the less important matters, Lingmeng got straight to the point and asked.

Shido simply scratched his cheek awkwardly in response.

"Um... sorry, not yet. But Origami is taking a shower right now, we can go find her now."

Shido glanced in the direction from which the sound of flowing water came and muttered to himself.

"Sigh, that's all we can do now. Let's hurry up."

Shido waved to Shido, Lingmeng him to follow.

Shido nodded and obediently followed behind Lingmeng.

The first place to search is the kitchen. After all, it's possible that hand puppets or something similar could be used as gloves.

Shido and Lingmeng searched high and low for a long time, looking everywhere they could think of, but they couldn't find anything.

But--

"Hey- Shido, come quick, look what I found!"

Lingmeng whispered in a voice only Shido could hear.

"Have you found Yoshino?"

Shido excitedly jogged over, only to find a bag of trash.

No, if it were just ordinary trash, it wouldn't have caught Lingmeng's attention at all, so what's important is what's inside.

The garbage bag contained several opened, empty bottles. Since the garbage bag hadn't been thrown away yet, it meant that these bottles had only been opened today.

Lingmeng took out the bottles one by one and discovered that each bottle had different words written on it.

"Fatal Strike: Japan Red Viper"

"Extraordinary Energy. Black Tengu"

"Soft-Shelled Turtle GOLD 1000"

"The Maca Magic"

And so on and so forth, the entire garbage bag was basically filled with this kind of thing.

Just by looking at the label on the bottle, it's easy to tell that these things are definitely for... well, you know.

And that's exactly the case. These are all Stamina Tonic that cost several thousand yen per bottle.

"Why would Origami buy these things...?"

After realizing that these were all Stamina Tonic, Shido said with shame.

These things don't look like the kind of nutritional supplements a girl would drink at all!

Lingmeng simply gave a mocking look.

"What do you mean 'why'? Of course she intended to give it to you, and then force the issue. But you probably didn't drink it, right?"

"...!"

Shido's eyes widened immediately, and then he looked at the teacup containing the unknown liquid on the living room table.

This is the foreign tea that Origami served him when he first came in (according to Origami).

If he wasn't mistaken, the contents of the cup were likely a mixture of all those Stamina Tonic.

Fortunately, Shido only slightly pursed his lips, so the effect was far less significant. Otherwise, his sixteen years of virginity would have been completely lost today.

Although he had indeed drunk it, out of pride, Shido shook his head vigorously, indicating that nothing of the sort had happened.

"No! I haven't drunk a single drop!"

"Oh dear, that's such a pity. I thought you were finally going to eat meat."

"..."

Lingmeng sighed, feigning regret, while Shido was filled with black lines.

----------------This is the dividing line for the transfer time

Over the next few minutes, Lingmeng and Shido moved their search to Origami's bedroom.

The room, which wasn't small to begin with, inexplicably contained a brand new double bed.

Without a doubt, this is a battlefield specially designed by Origami to fight Shido.

However, all of that is based on the condition that Shido obediently finishes all of that so-called foreign tea.

Shido stared at the large bed in front of him with a pained expression.

First came the Maid Outfit, then the Stamina Tonic, and then the bath and the double bed.

It seems that as long as I stay here, my chastity is in danger every moment.

However, just as Shido was still pondering these things, Lingmeng's voice interrupted him.

"Shido, I've found Yoshino!"

"Real!?"

Shido turned towards the Lingmeng was pointing to.

At this moment, a solitary figure sat atop the wardrobe in the corner of the room.

It was a rabbit hand puppet with a rather comical design.

There's no mistake, that's Yoshino's puppet— Yoshino.

Lingmeng stepped forward, took Yoshino, and put it on her right hand, beginning to control it.

"Ah, this way we can save Yoshino!"

"Um!"

Lingmeng smiled, her eyes half-closed, and said this using ventriloquism.

Shido, in turn, smiled and nodded.

Back in the living room, Shido decided to pretend that nothing had happened.

After all, it would be too suspicious if I suddenly left, wouldn't it?

"Lingmeng, Yoshino has been found. You should go back now. I'll handle things here."

Shido looked at Lingmeng, who was still standing beside him, and said this.

In response, Lingmeng stated--

"Okay, fine. But since I'm already here, can I take my drink back? I'm a little thirsty."

Without saying a word, Lingmeng picked up the cup on the table and drank the contents in one gulp.

Because it was placed on the table, Lingmeng subconsciously assumed it was tea meant for entertaining guests.

Hmm... how should I describe the taste? It feels a bit strange.

Shido mood was almost calming down, immediately widened his eyes when he saw that Lingmeng had drunk everything in her cup.

Because what Lingmeng drank was the ultimate Stamina Tonic that Origami specially prepared for her!

"Hey! Lingmeng, quickly spit out what you just drank!"

Shido shook Lingmeng's shoulders frantically.

After all, she had only taken a small sip and was already losing control of herself. Lingmeng had gulped it down, there would definitely be a big problem!

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Why are you reacting so strongly? It's just a tea with a slightly unusual color and a more complex flavor."

Lingmeng broke free from Shido's hands and said nonchalantly.

"This is Stamina Tonic! And what normal person would drink tea that looks strange just from its color!"

"Is that so? But it should be alright, right? I'm not human anyway."

"..."

Although Lingmeng's reply was a bit far-fetched, Shido couldn't seem to find any fault with it.

Lingmeng patted her chest and said confidently.

"Oh dear, it's just a drug! How could I, a dignified elf, be defeated by a drug?"

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

Shido said with a puzzled look on his face.

However, seeing that Lingmeng didn't seem to be in any unusual condition, Shido began to believe her.

But--

"Separate--"

Just then, Lingmeng, who had just made some bold statements, suddenly made a sound like she was drunk.
