"Where's Lumine? Isn't she ready yet?"
After taking a look and confirming that there was still no sign of Lumine around, Miko posed this question to Mobius.
She figured that this time there'd probably be something different about Lumine too—not merely wearing this outfit, just like she herself was.
"Coming, coming."
In the face of Miko's question, Mobius gave a slight smile, and then, just like the previous few times, that dark-green liquid appeared on the floor.
What on earth was this stuff?
It clearly looked just like some kind of liquid...
yet it wouldn't get on one's clothes or body in the slightest...
Looking at that dark-green liquid, which had already appeared several times now, Miko couldn't help raising such a question in her heart.
And just as she was thinking this, the liquid suddenly stirred, and after a spell of bubbling, Lumine slowly rose up from within it.
But for some reason, Lumine wore an awkward look at this moment, and whether or not her hands were bound behind her back couldn't be made out right away.
Hm?
So Lumine was this big too?
When Lumine's chest emerged above the liquid, Miko discovered to her surprise that Lumine was quite big there as well—just like herself, with a look as if she might burst right out of the outfit.
"Did something get mixed up? How did my hands end up stuffed inside the outfit?"
As her whole body fully emerged from that liquid, Lumine looked to be struggling with all her might, and now, seen from the front, it was obvious that her hands were bound behind her.
Stuffed inside the outfit?
It has to be said, Miko didn't understand what Lumine meant by those words, and so she got up from the bed and walked over to Lumine.
They really were inside the outfit...
After coming around behind Lumine, Miko found that Lumine's hands were folded and wrapped up inside the very outfit she was currently wearing, leaving only the bulging outline to show that her hands were right there.
"Oh my, isn't this even better?" Coming to Lumine's side, Mobius reached a hand toward the zipper down below on Lumine while continuing: "Don't you want Kaito, later, to reach out his hand like this and slowly open it up..."
"No, no, no!"
Seeing that Mobius was about to pull open the zipper down below on her, Lumine kept backing away and even nearly toppled over.
Even though everyone present right now was female, she absolutely did not want that place of hers looked at by those present like some exhibitionist.
If the zipper at that place really were pulled open, in her current state she wouldn't be able to pull it back up at all.
"It's just a little demonstration, that's all—why is little Lumine so frightened?" Watching Lumine keep backing away, Mobius couldn't help bursting into laughter.
She, naturally, wasn't really going to pull open the zipper at that place of Lumine's—it truly was just a demonstration; the actual opening would definitely be left to Kaito.
Otherwise, what good would it do for her to open it? It's not as if she had a "weapon."
With her hands all wrapped up inside the outfit...
Lumine wouldn't be able to refuse whatever Kaito wanted to do...
Silently watching Lumine as she was now from off to the side, Miko had a most peculiar feeling.
Although her own hands, at present, counted as bound too, compared to Lumine's she felt hers were still far too loose.
"But why tie me up like this? I only said I'd wear the same outfit as you—this is totally different now, isn't it?"
Paying no mind to whether what Mobius said was true, Lumine, still trying to struggle, looked far from pleased about being bound.
Although what Mobius said did seem to hold a certain appeal, that, after all, was a matter between her and Kaito.
Thud——
"Ouch."
Just then, accompanied by the sound of some heavy object dropping onto the bed, Wendy let out an "ouch."
Wendy?
She fell down from above?
Instinctively looking up at the ceiling above Wendy, Miko was baffled too—she hadn't expected Wendy to show up on the bed in such a manner.
Hm?
Wendy's hands...
were tied up just like Lumine's too?
Just then Miko suddenly noticed that Wendy's hands were nowhere to be seen either, and immediately thought of the state Lumine was in.
"Let me go, you stinking snake!"
Crawling with difficulty to the wall and propping herself against it to barely straighten up, Wendy too demanded that Mobius release her.
Miko had guessed right—Wendy now was in the same state as Lumine.
As for why, it definitely wasn't because of what had happened earlier, but because of the present matter—namely, to let Lumine see that she wasn't the only one bound that way.
Clearly, Lumine was already discontent, so Wendy had to be tied up as well.
"And what if I just don't let you go? Gonna hit me?"
In response to Wendy's demand, Mobius looked thoroughly punchable.
But behind that punchable expression, Mobius was actually mulling over something serious.
Since everyone was now wearing this outfit, did that mean Kaito would have to give them all a good "bullying"?
Although Kaito was, just then, calmly drinking tea outside with Zhongli, his face composed as ever, while griping about Sode's retirement, in truth Kaito had, for once, gotten in the mood.
It's just that if he had to handle this many people at once, Kaito, all on his own, would surely be worked half to death.
Even though the Kaito of now was no longer the Kaito of before, which of the girls present right now was ordinary? They wouldn't be so easily satisfied.
Find an excuse to slip away with Wendy in a bit?
Since she could have her fun whenever she pleased, Mobius planned to find an excuse later to leave with Wendy for a while, so as to lighten the load on Kaito.
There was just one problem: both of them were currently wearing this weird, peculiar outfit, so they definitely couldn't go straight out.
And more importantly, this excuse was actually hard to come up with.
After all, the two of them leaving the very moment Kaito wanted to do that sort of thing would obviously be very strange.
Or maybe just go through the motions off to the side when the time came?
But what if they got found out?
Turning it over and over, Mobius suddenly found herself a bit at a loss for how to manage it.
In any case, now that she'd already gotten Miko and Lumine into this outfit, the main event definitely had to be carried out.
Oh, right...
Should she just put blindfolds on them?
Then, when the time came, she and Wendy could just provide some sound effects from off to the side?
Suddenly hitting on this idea, Mobius felt it was a pretty good one.
However, Miko's hands might still pull the blindfold off, so she had to be tied up that way as well.
"Right, a stinky little brat like Wendy ought to be tied up!"
Watching Wendy bound up with that indignant look on her face, Miko was simply delighted.
What could you do—she just loved seeing this little brat Wendy like this.
"So just how long are you going to keep us tied up?"
Seeing Wendy bound like this too, Lumine had no choice but to ask how long it would be.
After all, with even Wendy tied up this way, anything more she said would surely be useless, so she might as well just ask how long.
"Until Kaito comes back, of course."
