"What, Sora can actually teleport now?"
Anna widened her beautiful eyes, looking over with super envy:
"We all absorbed the magic power together, why don't I feel anything at all?"
Izumi Sora looked at Anna, reaching out a hand to comfort her:
"Don't be discouraged. Even though you haven't mastered an ability, at least you can still experience the side effects."
Thump!
Hearing this, Yanami Anna puffed out her pink cheeks and punched Izumi Sora's arm:
"So infuriating!"
"I'm trying to comfort you."
"It's worse than not comforting me, the more I listen, the angrier I get. I want to be a magical girl too."
"..."
In comparison, Mahiru was more worried about the side effects of the teleportation ability, her tone filled with concern:
"It feels like the stronger the ability, the greater the side effects... Does Sora-kun know what the side effect is?"
"I'm not sure." Izumi Sora shook his head upon hearing this. "I only realized this morning that I could control the magic power within my body. We won't know what the side effect is until we verify it."
"It's getting late." Yamada Elf put her hands on her hips, excitedly urging, "Let's hurry up and teleport back!"
"Everyone hold my hands."
Izumi Sora extended his hands towards the girls.
Anna's gaze shifted, and she said casually:
"Sora only has two hands, but there are four of us. How should we divide them?"
Izumi Sora remained expressionless: "I have ten fingers. Theoretically, we can form an eleven-person soccer team."
"What's this, you actually want to form a soccer team..."
Yanami Anna lightly gritted her teeth, unable to resist extending a slender finger and poking Izumi Sora's waist:
"Sora is too greedy!"
"..."
The girls stepped forward one after another, grasping one of Izumi Sora's fingers.
Kuroneko originally planned to go to school by herself, but she was quite curious about the feeling of teleportation. Plus, with Anna and Elf's persuasion, she ultimately decided to join them.
"Get ready... we're going back."
Izumi Sora took a deep breath, sinking his mind inward. He only felt his consciousness suddenly elevate, reaching into the clouds, and then he 'saw' the location of his house from high above.
With a slight thought, space instantly rippled like water.
The next second.
The figures of the group vanished from the quiet alleyway.
Thump.
A soft and bouncy sensation came from beneath him, surprisingly, it was a bed.
After a slight dizziness, Izumi Sora quickly looked around and realized they had returned to his room.
"There's actually a margin of error, fortunately it's not big..."
Izumi Sora breathed a sigh of relief.
His original goal was to teleport to the living room, but he ended up in the bedroom. It was probably because he wasn't proficient enough with his first teleportation.
"Eh... is this Sora's room?"
"Amazing, we came back in the blink of an eye."
"There was a feeling of weightlessness, like riding an elevator."
"..."
Experiencing teleportation for the first time, the girls were all amazed. Only Elf sounded distressed:
"Idiot Sora, you're crushing my hair."
"Sorry..."
Hearing this, Izumi Sora tried to move his arm away, but he quickly realized that his body couldn't move at all, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
What's going on?
Could this be the aftereffect of teleportation?
An aftereffect that completely paralyzes the body is way too severe!
Seeing Izumi Sora unmoving, Elf puffed out her pink cheeks and looked over:
"Idiot Sora, hurry up and do a backflip and get off."
The next second.
Izumi Sora suddenly felt his body could move again.
More accurately, his body moved on its own.
With both hands pushing against the edge of the bed, he executed a perfect backflip, rotating 360 degrees in mid-air, and then landed steadily on the floor.
The bizarre action instantly attracted the girls' attention.
"Sora, what are you doing?"
Anna tilted her head in confusion.
Kuroneko crossed her arms over her chest, evaluating: "For a mortal's ability, that backflip just now was quite standard."
Shiina Mahiru gently pursed her beautiful lips, her bright eyes curious:
"Did Sora-kun encounter the side effect?"
"I think so." Izumi Sora realized his body couldn't move again. Fortunately, everyone was around, so he wasn't panicked. He quickly gathered his words, "Besides still being able to speak, my body can't move at all."
"Liar." Yamada Elf put her hands on her hips. "Sora just did a backflip."
Izumi Sora was expressionless: "That's exactly the problem... I clearly couldn't move, but after Elf spoke, my body suddenly moved on its own."
"Suddenly moved on its own..." Yanami Anna blinked, quickly thinking of a possibility. "Could it be because Elf issued a command?"
"Let me try."
Yanami Anna quickly cleared her throat, sat up straight, and looked over with sparkling eyes:
"Sora, sit on the floor."
Thump.
Izumi Sora's body moved, plopping down onto the floor.
"He actually sat down?" Yanami Anna was still half-doubting. "Could Sora be playing a prank?"
"I wish it was a prank." Izumi Sora frowned slightly. "The problem is, I really can't move."
"Let me." Yamada Elf raised her right hand, her voice crisp. "I have a way to test if it's a prank."
"What way?"
"Very simple..."
Yamada Elf put her hands on her hips, a smug smile appearing on her small face:
"Sora, stand up first."
"..."
Izumi Sora silently stood up.
"They say boys have a kind of instinct..."
After pausing slightly for two seconds, Yamada Elf suddenly reached out, grabbing towards Izumi Sora.
The girls: "..."
Izumi Sora: "..."
Actually reaching out for a sneak grab, how can you have the nerve to do such an embarrassing action!
Izumi Sora stood frozen in place.
"Verification complete." Yamada Elf withdrew her right hand, her voice smug. "Sora didn't dodge at all. It seems he really can't move."
Angel-sama's mouth twitched slightly:
"Elf, don't do that kind of action again, it will cause misunderstandings."
"Don't worry." Elf put her hands on her hips. "Besides Sora, I would never sneak attack other boys."
Izumi Sora was expressionless: "Please do spare me."
"..."
Next was testing time.
After issuing a few commands, the girls quickly figured out the situation regarding the side effect.
"Sora can only move when we issue a command... isn't this side effect too terrible?"
Anna said it was terrible, but her eyes were clearly sparkling brightly:
"It feels inexplicably familiar."
Kuroneko: "..."
Because there are many similar plots in doujinshi.
Gokou Ruri covered her chest with both hands. Her mind involuntarily recalled some works she had seen before, and she quickly shuddered.
Besides being able to talk, the body completely obeys others. It's even more terrifying than becoming a slave.
In comparison.
The side effect of suddenly teleporting into the bathroom yesterday was actually barely acceptable...
"This side effect feels very interesting."
Yamada Elf sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her arms over her chest, and lifted her chin, revealing a snow-white, slender neck. Then, she crossed her right leg over her left, her small foot wrapped in white silk stockings gently swaying, her round toes slightly curled:
"Idiot Sora, help me take off my silk stockings. I wore them all day yesterday, I need to change into new ones today."
"Take off your own silk stockings, don't trouble others..."
Izumi Sora spoke, but his body moved on its own, taking two steps forward, half-kneeling on the ground, and then grasping Elf's raised right foot with both hands.
"Sora, stop quickly!"
Yanami Anna hurriedly spoke up to stop him. She naturally didn't want to see Sora taking off other girls' silk stockings.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
After grasping Elf's jade-like foot, Izumi Sora had already started removing the silk stocking, showing completely no intention of stopping.
"Sora-kun, hurry up and stop."
Shiina Mahiru's pretty face flushed slightly as she also spoke up to stop him.
Izumi Sora didn't stop his hands, his tone somewhat solemn:
"My body won't stop."
"Eh?"
"What's going on?"
"Why won't it stop?"
Both Anna and Mahiru were very confused.
Kuroneko quickly thought of a possibility:
"Could it be that he has to complete one command before he can execute another?"
While they were talking, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and a delicate, cute little face poked in. It was Sagiri in her pajamas.
"Eh, eh, eh?"
Seeing Izumi Sora taking off Elf's silk stocking, Sagiri's eyes instantly widened. Her cheeks puffed out high like a squirrel whose food stash had been stolen:
"Pervert Onii-chan, what are you doing?!"
Seeing Sagiri appear, the girls immediately tensed up.
The commotion earlier was too loud; they had clearly disturbed Sagiri.
The problem was that they hadn't told Sagiri the secret of the magical girls yet. It would be hard to explain clearly in a short amount of time.
"T-That's enough..."
Seeing Sagiri arrive, Elf was uncharacteristically a bit shy and wanted to pull her foot back.
Unfortunately, it was still useless.
Izumi Sora's body didn't obey him, faithfully executing the command to take off the silk stocking.
"Sagiri, listen to my explanation." Yanami Anna thought on her feet and quickly stepped forward. "Actually, we were just playing truth or dare. Sora lost, and the dare he chose was to help Elf take off her silk stockings."
Sagiri was half-believing and half-doubting: "Something's not right... Onii-chan messaged last night saying he wasn't coming back, why is he in his room?"
While removing Elf's silk stocking, Izumi Sora answered:
"I came back to change clothes."
Sagiri looked over suspiciously: "Where are Onii-chan's clothes?"
"While saving the world, my clothes accidentally disappeared."
"Liar. Not even three-year-olds believe in saving the world anymore."
"Actually, it was to save a very important person."
"..."
Hearing this sentence, the temperature on Kuroneko's face rapidly rose, and her heartbeat accelerated abruptly.
An important person?
In mere Sora's heart, am I actually a very important person?
"Even if Onii-chan says that..." Sagiri gently furrowed her delicate eyebrows, her gaze sweeping across the room. "Why is everyone in your room? You guys didn't stay together last night, did you?"
You guessed it.
Not only were they together, but they even slept in the same room last night.
Shiina Mahiru took a half-step forward, forced to lie against her conscience:
"We weren't together... We just bumped into Sora-kun at the door."
Sagiri narrowed her eyes: "It's not after school in the afternoon. You guys coming over to play games early in the morning, no matter how you look at it, it's very strange, right?"
The girls: "..."
The story can't be rounded out anymore!
If there's really no other way, should we just tell Sagiri the truth?
While they were talking, Izumi Sora had already completely removed Elf's silk stocking and entered 'standby mode'.
Seeing Izumi Sora standing still, Angel-sama hurriedly spoke up, issuing a command:
"It's getting late. Sora-kun, hurry up and change your clothes, we have to go to school soon."
"..."
Izumi Sora stood up silently and turned towards the closet.
Seeing this scene, Angel-sama breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing I spoke up in time.
It would be troublesome if Sagiri suddenly issued a command.
"Everyone, let's go quickly." Yanami Anna quickly walked outwards. "Actually, we stayed over at Elf's house last night... Let's go, let's go, go over to change clothes, and then head to school."
Seeing everyone head out the door together, Sagiri naturally couldn't stay behind and could only follow them out.
After leaving, the girls said goodbye to Sagiri and hurried to Elf's house.
Because of the existence of the 'Hand of God', Elf had a good number of school uniforms prepared at home, with all sizes available. They could just go over, change, and head to school.
Yanami Anna quickly finished changing her clothes. Her gaze shifted, and she pretended to look down and search:
"Ah~ I think I left my phone at Sora's house. I'll go get my phone."
This was a lie.
In fact, she didn't forget her phone; Anna had intentionally left it behind.
The purpose was very simple.
To find a legitimate reason to go back... Sora does whatever he's told right now. She couldn't hold back, she simply couldn't hold back.
Elf looked up, her voice crisp:
"Let's wait for everyone to finish changing and go over together?"
Go over together?
Then how could I tease Sora?
Of course I have to refuse!
Yanami Anna quickly shook her head, walking outward while waving her hand:
"I haven't messaged my mom since I got up this morning. Mom might call... so I'll go over first, you guys come later."
Watching Anna scurry away, Shiina Mahiru parted her pink lips, but ultimately said nothing.
Kuroneko blinked, also remaining silent.
Only Elf, with the fewest schemes, truly believed 'Inmate Eight' was going back to get her phone.
"...I'm back?"
Before leaving the house earlier, Yanami Anna secretly took the key from the wall, so she didn't even need Sagiri to open the door and opened it herself.
"Good, Sagiri isn't in the living room."
The ahoge on Yanami Anna's head swayed gently. After completing her reconnaissance, she quickly changed into slippers and scurried up to the second-floor room.
Click.
Pushing the door and entering the room, she saw that Izumi Sora had already changed his clothes and was standing motionless in front of the closet.
"Ehehe~"
Yanami Anna quickly slipped into the room, locking the door behind her. Smiling brightly, she quietly walked behind Izumi Sora and covered his eyes with her hands:
"Guess who?"
Izumi Sora heard the movement behind him, but unfortunately couldn't turn his neck:
"Is it Lord Yanami, who can eat five pounds of ramen in one meal?"
"I've never eaten that much." Yanami let go of her hands, strode in front of Izumi Sora, and said seriously, "Sora, I suddenly thought of a possibility."
"What?"
"The side effects on Sora's body might not necessarily be related to time. It's also possible they're related to the number of times. For example, as long as you complete a certain number of commands, you can regain your freedom."
"...There's a certain possibility."
After all, it was the first time the side effect appeared. No one knew exactly what the situation was.
However, Izumi Sora had made up his mind to continue exercising and training to level up his character as quickly as possible and eliminate the ability's side effects.
Maintaining consciousness while having the body obey others' commands—no matter how you look at it, that's a terrible plot that would only appear in doujinshi!
"Hey, hey, I'll help verify it." Yanami Anna smiled brightly, her eyes curving into crescents, looking like a little fox that successfully stole a chicken. "Sora, listen carefully to my commands next."
Izumi Sora: "..."
No wonder you sneaked back here alone, it was indeed to play pranks!
"Ahem~"
Yanami Anna proudly lifted her chin:
"Sora, hurry up and call me Your Majesty the Queen."
Izumi Sora was speechless: "My body doesn't follow commands, but my mouth still has a mind of its own."
"Tch~"
Yanami Anna's gaze shifted, and she quickly extended her right hand:
"Sora, kiss the back of my hand."
"..."
Hearing the command, Izumi Sora's body involuntarily moved. He grasped Yanami's fingertips, then bowed and kissed the back of 'Inmate Eight's' hand.
"Ehehehe~"
Feeling the burning hot touch on the back of her hand, Yanami smiled radiantly, super happy:
"Well, what should the next command be?"
"It's best if you don't say anything."
"That won't do. We are in the verification phase right now, it's all for Sora's own good."
You say it's for my own good, but you're actually the one enjoying it!
"I got it."
Yanami Anna sat down on the chair and issued a command:
"Running around everywhere yesterday, my shoulders are super sore. Sora, help me massage my shoulders."
After all, Yanami had an E-rank vanguard physique. Running back and forth in the tunnel for so long yesterday, it was perfectly normal for her shoulders to be sore.
Izumi Sora's body moved again, silently walking behind 'Inmate Eight' and beginning to massage her shoulders.
Yanami Anna narrowed her eyes slightly, a satisfied expression on her pretty face:
"So comfortable~"
"Sora, a little more strength."
"I can take it... Ah!"
While helping to massage her shoulders, Izumi Sora sighed: "I don't know how long the side effect will last. I hope it won't be long, otherwise I'll just have to ask for a leave of absence."
"Sora, don't worry." Yanami Anna's gaze shifted. "I'll ask for a leave of absence to take care of you."
You call that taking care of someone?
It's clear you want someone else to take care of you!
"No need."
"It's very necessary. If Sora asks for a leave of absence and stays home, Sagiri will definitely come looking for you. When that happens, something terrible might occur."
Izumi Sora: "..."
That is indeed something to consider.
"Let's stop here for today." Yanami Anna reluctantly chose to end it. "Everyone will be coming over soon. Today's massage is over."
As they were talking, a small bug suddenly flew in from outside the window. After circling, it happened to land on Yanami's neck.
"Ehhhhh?!"
Suddenly having a strange bug land on her, Yanami was instantly startled. She instinctively swatted at it, resulting in the bug sliding down her neck and into her clothes.
"Sora, there's a bug!"
Izumi Sora saw it very clearly:
"It's a six-spotted ladybug."
Yanami's voice was frantic: "It's crawling around in my clothes, hurry up and catch it!"
Izumi Sora was in 'standby' mode. Hearing Yanami's words, his body moved again. He extended his right hand and began to help catch the bug.
As his fingertips touched the skin below her neck, Yanami felt an electric, thrilling sensation sweep through her entire body. She shuddered abruptly, her pretty face rapidly flushing red, her voice shameful:
"Y-You can't reach in..."
