Although she was indeed pinned to the ground by the other two horse girls, the pale green truth serum was ultimately not poured into Agnes Tachyon's mouth. Because it was obvious without even needing to use it that this potion was definitely prepared for him.
And it wasn't just the truth serum. After pinning Tachyon down, Eclipse and Teio searched her and found a total of four potions on her—though there might have been more hidden.
Truth serum, a super-concentrated stamina replenishing potion, an unknown potion that could make a person shine for a whole day after drinking it, and for self-defense, an orange, potent hallucinogen that took effect just by being splashed...
Except for the last one, the other three were clearly prepared for him.
"Confiscated."
Since they were considered spoils of war, the remaining three divided the potions other than the truth serum among themselves. Teio was the first to take the super-concentrated stamina replenishing potion, probably for use after training. Eclipse, out of curiosity, took the unknown potion. And the remaining hallucinogen was given to Shinji for self-defense.
It's just that during the distribution, Shinji felt a strange sense of incongruity.
The horse girls on the ground were the attackers, so why did loot drop from a teammate instead...
Oh well, it's just a detail. No need to worry about it.
Shaking his head to clear the strange thoughts, he then had Eclipse help pry open the mouth of the still-conscious horse girl on the ground. Under her terrified gaze, he poured the truth serum in. Before long, she stopped struggling. Her gaze gradually became vacant, drool dripped from the corner of her mouth, and her body went limp on the ground, twitching slightly.
Seeing the change after feeding her the potion, Shinji's expression gradually became complicated.
"I say, Tachyon, are you sure you didn't grab the wrong potion? This thing doesn't look like truth serum..."
"It is truth serum." Tachyon nodded affirmatively, paused, and then added, "It just has a side effect of a slight hypnotic effect. But that's convenient for interrogation, isn't it?"
Shinji Kitahara: "..."
A side effect of hypnosis? The danger level of this potion is off the charts! And what the hell were you planning to do by trying to pour this stuff into me!
After raising his mental alert level for Tachyon by several notches, he refocused his attention on the horse girl in front of him, who looked anything but okay. Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he began the interrogation.
The result was a bit different from his guess.
Although they were indeed from Black Forest, their attack on him was not due to an order from above, but simply an accident. Because of the recent successive failures of their operations, the atmosphere within Black Forest had not been good lately. Some existing conflicts had gradually intensified due to the failures, and they had even begun to split into two factions: the radicals and the conservatives.
The radicals advocated for using any means necessary, even direct military action, against Tracen, claiming that there is no reform without bloodshed. The conservatives were relatively moderate, believing that they should proceed step by step, gradually exposing the dark truth of Tracen from the details, and finally uprooting it.
These seven horse girls belonged to a radical group leader. They were originally just out for a stroll today, but they happened to see Tokai Teio on the road. After confirming that there were only four of them, and one was a frail human, they contacted two other members of their group, wanting to secretly score a victory and then go back to give their group leader a surprise.
And after that... was the current situation.
Looking at the pitiful horse girl in front of him, sticking out her tongue, the whites of her eyes rolled back, drool all over the ground, Shinji sighed, his expression gradually becoming melancholic.
Things are getting more and more troublesome.
Oh well, this isn't something a slacking trainer like me should be dealing with. I'll just leave it to the Chairwoman and Rudolf to worry about.
While Shinji was questioning the horse girl, Teio had also contacted Symboli Rudolf. After the interrogation was over, Narita Brian, the vice president of the student council whom he had met before, arrived at their location with some other members.
After seeing the scene in the alley, their expressions gradually became complicated.
They didn't misunderstand the situation on Shinji's side. The student council had also used Tachyon's potion before. Although it felt a bit strange, it wasn't enough to cause a misunderstanding. It's just that there were seven horse girls, and they all looked to have finished their full-fledged development and were even armed. And now they had all ended up like this.
And according to Teio's account, from beginning to end, neither she nor Tachyon had made a move. In other words, this tragic scene was all caused by the horse girl in black.
A bit interesting...
However, Narita Brian also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this. After asking about the general course of events, she waved her hand, and the student council horse girls who had come with her took out tranquilizers and burlap sacks from the bags they had brought. After knocking out all seven horse girls on the ground, they stuffed them into the sacks. And their movements were as smooth as flowing water, extremely practiced. It was clear this was not the first time they had done this.
"What? Surprised?"
Seeing Shinji's complicated gaze, Narita Brian glanced at Tachyon beside him. "Guess who cleans up the messes she makes in the end? And you'd better be careful yourself. Otherwise, I'm afraid one day I won't be in time to clean up after you, only to collect your corpse."
After speaking, she didn't waste any more words. After simply asking if they wanted to go back with them and getting a negative answer, she decisively directed the other members to hoist the sacks and started on the road back to Tracen.
As for why they didn't call the police, why they were taking those horse girls to Tracen, and what would happen to them next... Shinji felt it was best not to delve too deeply into these matters.
By the way, during the interrogation, a small interlude had occurred.
Just as the potion was beginning to take effect and Shinji was starting his questioning, the unconscious horse girl had suddenly raised her head, looked at him with her vacant pupils, and whispered, "Three Goddesses..."
However, this interlude did not attract anyone's attention. After all, the Three Goddesses were the common faith of the horse girls in this world. It was common for horse girls to unconsciously whisper their name when their consciousness was blurred. It wasn't anything strange.
But although this interlude didn't attract anyone's attention, Tachyon on the side had become curious about another matter. Because from her past experience, the effect of that truth serum shouldn't have been that good. Although it sounded terrifying when she talked about it, in reality, when the other party's will was strong, the effect of the truth serum was very limited. Although it could make the other party tell only the truth, the other party could also choose not to answer. And as for hypnosis, that was an even more exaggerated statement. In reality, it could only make the other party's consciousness become blurred to some extent, similar to a half-asleep state. Although this state could break down the other party's psychological defenses to some extent, it would also affect their thinking ability, making the interrogation process difficult, and the answers would become vague and even chaotic.
But just now, Shinji hadn't encountered any problems during the interrogation. Basically, whatever he asked, the other party answered, without a trace of resistance, and even with a hint of obedience...
After some consideration, Tachyon felt that there were three possibilities for this.
The first was that Shinji was actually a high-level Black Forest undercover agent who had infiltrated Tracen. What had just happened was just a self-directed play, which was why the other party subconsciously acted so obedient. However, considering Eclipse's combat power just now, and the bloodiness of the scene, this possibility was basically non-existent.
The second was that there was a problem with this potion. The effect might be better than others, or she herself had made a breakthrough in her potion-making at some point, so the effect of the potion she made had also been enhanced. This possibility was not small.
As for the third... was that there was a problem with Shinji himself.
Narrowing her eyes, looking at Shinji's back, Tachyon touched the six potions she had left on her, which hadn't been confiscated. A strange light flashed in her eyes.
Speculation is useless. I'll just have to find a chance to test it out to know.
