"Can you let us see what Miss Hachishakusama looks like?"
Maid Hayasaka was full of curiosity.
"Hmm..."
Juju blinked, not refusing, and nodded in agreement: "Of course, but I need to prepare."
It was just a performance of transforming into Miss Hachishakusama, not meowing like a cat. As a coser driven by interest, Juju wasn't averse to it.
The most important thing now was that she was still naked under the cloak; she had to put on clothes first, otherwise, she felt a constant chill.
"Please wait a moment." Juju turned and whispered, "Shoko, I want to change clothes."
"Mmm-hmm."
Komi quickly nodded and led Juju into the back kitchen.
"Hoo..."
Juju exhaled softly, relaxing, and untied the cloak on her body. Her fair, delicate skin immediately made Komi's eyes widen.
"It's that skill that turns you into a shadow," Juju explained, her small face slightly red, with a couple of coughs. "When you transform, you can't wear clothes, and there's no suitable opportunity to put them on along the way... It's so troublesome."
"Komi, have you ever used the skill that turns you into a shadow?"
"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's really amazing."
Komi shook her head, her voice faint: "No."
"Then you should try it when you have time; the feeling of turning into a shadow is very strange."
"…"
Komi quickly shook her head.
She absolutely did not want to experience the embarrassing skill of being unable to wear clothes when transforming from a shadow back into a human.
When they were in Kagoshima, the two of them had even bathed in a hot spring together. Juju also didn't shy away, merely turning her body to start putting on clothes.
"Something's missing…" Juju turned her head to look at the long-haired black-clad girl guarding beside her. "Shoko, do you have a spare pair of panties?"
Komi blinked her eyes at the question, her pretty face suddenly flushed at a visible speed, and steam billowed out from the top of her head before she quickly shook her head.
"If you don't have them, you don't. Why are you suddenly blushing?"
Juju tilted her head, her tone puzzled, then a possibility suddenly occurred to her. "Eh, wait… You didn't, by any chance, not wear any, did you?"
"…"
Komi's pretty face was crimson as she quickly shook her head in denial.
She was wearing them.
She couldn't possibly walk without wearing something like that!
"I'm very suspicious." A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Juju's small face as she made to extend her right hand. "Let me see."
"!!!"
Komi hastily stepped back half a pace, her hands tightly covering her skirt, her head almost shaking like a rattle-drum.
No!
Absolutely not!
She was wearing boy's boxer briefs, which were clearly worse than wearing nothing at all.
Such an unusual reaction naturally made Juju even more suspicious, and she couldn't help but lower her voice: "Shoko, you didn't really not wear any, did you?"
"…"
Steam billowed from the top of Komi's head, her pearly teeth biting tightly on her lips, almost drawing blood, before she finally nodded with difficulty.
"Before… when cleaning the restroom… my panties got dirty… I, I didn't have a spare…"
"I see." Juju nodded, not mentioning the matter of lifting her skirt further. "Actually, you just get used to it… For example, in winter, when my clothes are thicker, sometimes I don't wear underwear to school."
"Eh?"
Komi looked over in surprise.
"It's the upper underwear! Don't look down!"
"…"
Once they had changed, Juju and Komi left the kitchen and came to the restaurant in the front.
"I'm out."
Juju lightly coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention.
"Um… as long as I select 'Re-enable Disguise' on the character panel, that should do it, right?"
"That's right, it's very simple," Hayasaka, the junior, said, leaning on the armrest of her chair and looking over with interest. "Juju-senpai, hurry up and transform so we can see what Miss Hachishakusama looks like."
"...I understand."
Juju exhaled lightly and agreed.
Amamiya Natsuki said from the side:
"Be careful not to hit the restaurant ceiling."
Hayasaka Ai was surprised: "Eh, is she really that tall?"
"It's not that exaggerated." Juju couldn't help but glare over. "I tried it in the hospital room; I can only touch the ceiling by raising my hand, my head doesn't reach it."
The Sheltered Young Lady held her right arm across her chest and mused:
"If it's in international standard units, Eight-Foot's height should be between 2.6 and 2.7 meters."
"So tall." Yui, the unlucky one, gasped softly. "She's already broken the human limit, hasn't she?"
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:
"It's absolutely correct to say she's the world's tallest."
So, an Miss Hachishakusama who is 2.7 meters tall, yet she insists on targeting children; it's like a small horse pulling a big cart, there's no feeling at all, right!
"I'm starting."
As everyone was talking, Juju activated the disguise button on her character panel.
The next moment, Juju felt her vision suddenly rise, and the previously distant ceiling suddenly became within reach.
"Eh, eh, eh?!"
The girls' gasps suddenly rang out.
Hayasaka Ai's eyes widened: "Isn't that too exaggerated?"
Yui, the unlucky one, covered her mouth: "That kind of thing would crush her shoulders, wouldn't it?"
Even Shinomiya Kaguya, who remained unfazed when Mount Fuji crumbled before her, was now dumbfounded:
"Impossible, that level already exceeds the limits of humanity!"
"…"
Amamiya Natsuki once again experienced what the law of universal gravitation was.
The greater the mass, the greater the gravitational pull, it was indeed true.
"Cl-clothes…"
Komi's pretty face was flushed, and she quickly reminded her friend from the side.
Juju looked down, and the girl's sense of shame exploded instantly as she frantically covered her body:
"Where are my clothes?!"
Amamiya Natsuki was still admiring, when the Sheltered Young Lady beside him snapped back to reality, quickly extended her right hand to cover Amamiya Natsuki's eyes, and gritted her teeth, complaining:
"As a gentleman, you should turn away and close your eyes at a time like this, shouldn't you?"
Sorry, he wasn't a gentleman, he was actually scum.
"Exactly." Hayasaka Ai nodded in agreement. "Pervert-senpai, quickly forget what you just saw."
It was already etched deep in their minds; no one could possibly forget it.
Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head and said:
"You, quickly disable the disguise."
Juju was squatting on the ground, her shame exploding, not knowing what to do. Hearing the Sheltered Young Lady's reminder, she quickly disabled her disguise form.
Miss Hachishakusama disappeared, replaced by a petite girl.
"Phew…"
Seeing this, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Miss Hachishakusama was truly terrifying.
That overwhelming sense of oppression, beyond human limits, could make one lose their composure and waver their will, especially causing tons of damage to the Sheltered Young Lady—an immense domain she could never hope to achieve.
"The clothes must have been left in the hospital room."
Amamiya Natsuki analyzed the reason.
This was very reasonable.
It couldn't be that a new piece of clothing appeared every time she disguised herself; if so, by constantly changing, she could open a clothing store.
"Ahem." Hayasaka Ai lightly coughed twice, extended a finger, and tried to change the subject. "Speaking of which, although everyone's roles are varied, their gender doesn't seem to change… Marin-chan and Chika-chan, though not found yet, should also be female characters, right?"
"I think it's to protect males." Amamiya Natsuki interlaced his fingers, propping up his chin. "You girls are too curious. If our genders were swapped, you'd definitely play with our bodies."
"Heh heh."
"Shameless."
"Bah, how dare you!"
"Only you would do such a vulgar thing, wouldn't you?"
"…"
Under Komi's comfort, Juju quickly calmed down.
After all, besides Amamiya Natsuki, who was a boy, everyone else was a girl. Accidental exposure would only cause embarrassment, not sadness or grievance.
"Juju, have you completed your mission?"
Amamiya Natsuki asked.
"Not yet." Juju, with one hand covering her skirt, shook her head at the question. "A follow-up mission appeared… After escaping the hospital room, I still need to hide for twenty-four hours. During this period, I cannot be caught."
"Understood." Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "It would be a bit too simple if just escaping the hospital room counted as completing the mission."
Shinomiya Kaguya spoke:
"Miss Hachishakusama is too conspicuous. You should stay in the kitchen during this time and not go out."
"I understand."
Juju nodded in agreement.
For now, the kitchen was indeed a very good hiding place.
"Someone might come to inspect later." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Kaguya and said, "To be safe, we should attach another skill to Juju. If she encounters a search, she can directly turn into a shadow and hide."
"…"
The Sheltered Young Lady puffed out her cheeks, turned her head to look elsewhere, and didn't want to talk to him.
He had been staring for so long just now; sure enough, boys were all breast-worshippers, right?
It was infuriating!
Amamiya Natsuki silently turned his head to Hayasaka, signaling with his eyes:
"Control your young miss."
"I can't, don't count on me." Hayasaka Ai blinked. "Pervert-senpai is so good at coaxing girls, you don't need my help at all, do you?"
As the few of them sat talking at the table, this junior, Hayasaka, not only didn't help but also secretly extended her right foot and lightly rubbed against Amamiya Natsuki's calf.
Amamiya Natsuki said calmly:
"By the way, why hasn't Senpai returned yet?"
"She should be back soon, right?" Hayasaka Ai propped her chin with her right hand, saying nonchalantly, "Wait a little longer, maybe she's on her way back."
It had to be said, secretly having a snack in front of the Young Miss felt quite thrilling.
However, this wait lasted over ten minutes.
"Senpai still hasn't returned?"
Amamiya Natsuki frowned.
Quite some time had passed since the agreed-upon time, and there was still no sign of Senpai, which inevitably caused concern.
"No." Hayasaka Ai returned from the restaurant doorway, shaking her head. "I didn't see a single person outside. Maybe something delayed her."
"Let's wait a few more minutes." Amamiya Natsuki decided. "If she doesn't come back, we'll go look for her."
"Let's go together." Shinomiya Kaguya nodded lightly and extended her right hand, saying, "First, let's attach the skill to Juju."
With important matters at hand, Shinomiya Kaguya naturally wouldn't continue to sulk.
Juju also walked over and obediently accepted the skill attachment.
A moment later.
"The Senpai has not returned yet." Amamiya Natsuki stood up. "I'll go look for her."
Shinomiya Kaguya followed him, standing up and saying:
"Let's go together."
Hayasaka Ai raised her right hand: "I want to go too."
"I, I can too..."
Komi mustered her courage and raised her hand.
"We don't need that many people." Amamiya Natsuki said, "The three of you stay in the restaurant, don't run around. The task of guarding the base camp is entrusted to you."
...
Arrangement completed.
Amamiya Natsuki, Kaguya, and Hayasaka left the restaurant together.
"I remember the place the Senpai went to was another Hospital building." Amamiya Natsuki said on the way, "She shouldn't be lost; she's most likely still inside."
As a large private Hospital, it naturally has more than one Hospital building, and the area is actually very large.
After a pause, Amamiya Natsuki suggested:
"Why don't we plant another mushroom? While looking for the Senpai, we can also search to see if we can find Marin and Chika."
"Continue planting Anxious Mushroom..."
The Sheltered Young Lady's face showed a hint of hesitation.
What if it's another lust mushroom?
If it happens again, her lips will definitely swell up.
"I have no objection." Hayasaka Ai's eyes shifted, and she agreed, "It's been a while since we entered the instance. The longer we drag it out, the more dangerous Marin-chan and Chika-chan will be."
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Chika and Marin haven't been found yet, but she's only worried about her lips swelling up. That's so wrong!
For everyone's safety, even if other parts swell up, it's a worthwhile sacrifice!
"For everyone..." Shinomiya Kaguya's voice grew softer and softer, and the temperature on her face quietly rose, "I'll also plant a Anxious Mushroom."
Amamiya Natsuki whispered:
"Don't be nervous, it's not necessarily a lust mushroom."
The Sheltered Young Lady turned her pretty face away, not letting him see her flushed cheeks: "Don't jinx it."
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"If it still is, I will definitely take responsibility..."
"Don't talk, I don't want you to take responsibility!"
...
After planting a Mushroom on Hayasaka and Kaguya, this time the Mushroom did not change. One was a jealous Mushroom, and the other was still a lust mushroom.
Amamiya Natsuki then casually planted a Mushroom on himself, and then the three of them came to the Hospital building.
"There are six floors in total." Amamiya Natsuki assigned, "Each of us will search two floors."
"Senpai, be careful."
After a simple assignment, Amamiya Natsuki was responsible for searching the first and second floors, Hayasaka Ai for the third and fourth floors, and Shinomiya Kaguya for the fifth and sixth floors.
The three quickly took action.
Amamiya Natsuki, as a doctor, wore a white coat and entered and exited the patient rooms openly. However, after a round of checks, he found neither Chika nor Marin, nor any trace of the Senpai.
"Could she be upstairs? Or is there an unexplored area?"
Amamiya Natsuki stood on the first floor, frowning in thought, when the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a Nurse walking into the hallway, her figure gradually disappearing.
"Hmm?"
Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes, suddenly feeling a surge of energy.
Hospitals, like shopping malls, usually have a basement level and a sub-basement level. He had only searched the above-ground floors, but he hadn't been to the underground levels.
Perhaps the Senpai, after finding nothing, gritted her teeth and went to the underground level, and something happened to her there, causing her to lose contact.
Amamiya Natsuki quickly made a decision.
Go down and see.
There was no need to wait for Kaguya and Hayasaka to return, because when they set off, they had already copied skills from Komi, so they could exchange information at any time in case of need.
