"L-Little… kitten?"
"Well then, show me everything you've got."
"Yes, Master ♡"
After being brought into the villa, in the dream demon's room, the girl commanded the hypnotized Flo.
At this moment, Flo's eyes had lost their light — her pupils turned into heart shapes as she obeyed the dream demon girl's every word.
"Remember your place — you're my pet now, my dear Flo~"
"Mm-hmm ♡ I'm Master's pet ♡"
Flo nodded obediently.
"Hahaha—"
The dream demon was quite pleased with that answer.
"This app really works wonders… Now then, pledge your loyalty to me."
Sitting on the bed with crossed legs, she ordered, "First, kneel before me."
"Yes, Master ♡"
Flo knelt down immediately.
Seeing her so obedient made the dream demon's heart race — her breath quickened slightly.
She really wanted to skip ahead to the "reward" part already.
But no, she told herself, the proper "training" must follow the right steps.
"Now, take off your clothes neatly, fold them, and bow your head before me."
"Yes, Master ♡"
Flo quickly began to unbutton her outfit.
While Flo was doing so, the dream demon took off the choker around her neck.
Her body began to change — from a small, childlike form into one about the same age and shape as Flo's.
"Ahh… feels so much better to be in my real body," the dream demon stretched lazily.
The choker seemed to have the power to alter her appearance — that's how Flo hadn't recognized her earlier.
"Just by turning into a little girl, I managed to trick you, Flo. You really are too easy~♡"
The dream demon — now in her true form — smiled playfully.
Flo had by then folded her clothes neatly beside her and waited on her knees for further orders.
"Stand up."
When Flo raised her head, the dream demon lifted her foot — still in black stockings — to Flo's chin.
"From now on, call me Lady Alicia, got it?"
"Yes, Lady Alicia~♡" Flo replied blissfully.
When Alicia moved her foot away, Flo looked visibly disappointed.
"Pfft—hahaha!" Alicia burst into laughter.
"That's the face I wanted to see! That expression that says you can't live without me!"
Seeing Flo now so submissive and adorable, Alicia licked her lips.
She then threw a maid outfit and a cat-ear accessory in front of her.
"Put this on. From now on, you're my little cat."
"L-Little cat?" Flo tilted her head.
"What's wrong? You're not going to disobey your Master, are you?"
"N-No! I'll put it on right away!"
Flo quickly put on the outfit — a carefully chosen maid uniform, with just the right level of allure.
Finally, she placed the cat-ear headband on her head, her lips curling slightly into a smile.
"Heh? Why do you look so happy, Flo?" Alicia teased.
"N-No reason…" Flo mumbled, though clearly excited.
"How dishonest~" Alicia smirked and gave her a light kick.
"Ah!"
Though startled, Flo still smiled brightly.
"Still smiling? You really are hopeless, Flo~"
"Yes… Flo is hopeless ♡"
"Admit it, Flo. You're not just some tentacle girl — you're a hopelessly clingy little masochistic kitten who can't live without me~"
"Yes ♡ I admit it ♡ Little Flo is your silly, needy cat who craves your affection ♡"
Flo crawled closer like a cat, looking up at Alicia.
Alicia smiled in satisfaction, then gently rested one leg on the bed.
Flo respectfully held her foot like something precious.
"Please command me as you wish, Lady Alicia ♡"
"Good girl. Now lie down and show me a begging pose~"
"Yes, Master ♡"
Flo lay down and exposed her tummy in a catlike posture.
Alicia lightly pressed her foot against Flo's stomach.
"Do you like that?"
"Yes ♡ I love it ♡"
Flo's face was full of joy.
(Alright… time for the real question.)
Alicia's eyes glinted.
"So, Flo, where do you live in this world?"
"Mm… I live at Sister Shirona's house."
The name Shirona made Alicia freeze.
"…That's fine. She's not here anyway… ahem! Second question — do you know any strong magic?"
"Flo… doesn't know magic ♡"
"No magic at all? Not even a magical attribute?"
"None…"
Alicia checked — indeed, she couldn't sense any magic in Flo's body.
"Tsk, tsk… so you really are weak now, huh? Do you have any skills then?"
"There's one…"
"One? You have a skill even without magic?" Alicia raised an eyebrow.
"Don't tell me it's some low-level joke of a skill."
"It's actually an S-rank skill~"
"S-rank?!" Alicia perked up, intrigued.
Under hypnosis, Flo couldn't lie — meaning she truly had an S-rank skill.
"Tell me the name of this skill."
"Yes, Master~ It's called Help Me, Big Sister!"
"'Help Me, Big Sister'? What kind of weird—AAAAAAAH?!!"
Before Alicia could finish, the bed exploded!
The blast threw her into the air — and before she could recover, two enormous tentacles appeared, striking her midair and wrapping tightly around her.
"Ugh… what just—?!"
The poor dream demon's eyes turned into dizzy spirals as she hung helplessly in midair.
