"Hmm~ An unfamiliar ceiling? Where am I?"
Slowly waking up, the chuunibyou Spirit Girl looked at the ceiling in confusion, not knowing why she was there.
"I... this humble one should be in the middle of her hundredth competition with Yuzuru. That's right, a competition, a competition... Hmm? What happened after that?"
The girl carefully recalled what happened before she fainted, but no matter how hard she tried to remember, she couldn't recall the events that had occurred earlier.
Even thinking of a few things caused a sharp pain in her head, as if she was trying her best to prevent herself from recalling those memories.
Just then, Illya walked in, holding the sleeping Illya, and smiled slightly when she saw the awakened Chuunibyou Girl.
It was a very cute smile, but in the Chuunibyou Girl's eyes, it seemed like a devil's grin.
At this moment, another Expressionless Girl also woke up. Unlike the Chuunibyou Girl, who had her memories tampered with, she clearly remembered everything that had just happened.
Though still maintaining her expressionless face, she watched Illya with wary vigilance, ready at any moment to summon her Astral Dress and fight Illya to the death.
"It seems you two are very energetic. That's good, it's a perfect time to discuss your identities."
Sitting naturally on the ground and looking at the Spirit Twins before her, Illya tilted her head, her smile growing increasingly radiant.
"Let me warn you in advance: if you try to hide anything, or if you want to cause trouble, then next time you won't just be staying in bed; you'll be locked in a dark room. Understood?"
"Damn it! Who do you think you are! Are you threatening the great Yakushi-sama?! Apologize to this humble one! Then this humble one might forgive your insolence!"
"Yakushi... don't..."
Seeing that the Chuunibyou Girl was about to court disaster, the Expressionless Girl tried to stop her, but it was already too late.
Illya snapped her fingers with a grin, and numerous imaginary arms appeared on both sides of the Chuunibyou Girl's body, grabbing her limbs and rendering her immobile.
"You fiend! Let Yakushi go right now!!!"
The Expressionless Girl couldn't hold back when she saw the Chuunibyou Girl being seized. She controlled the spiritual power within her body, and just as she was about to materialize her Astral Dress, imaginary arms appeared again, firmly grabbing her as well.
In less than ten seconds, the two troublemakers were subdued by Illya.
To make these two realize her power, Illya took out a feather she had prepared. Under their puzzled gazes, she squatted down in front of them.
"Hey! What do you want to do to this humble one! If you do this... Haha~ you will pay... Haha~ the price! Ahaha~ Stop it! Stop it! It tickles! It tickles so much!"
The act of tickling with a feather was quite effective for some people who were particularly ticklish, at least it was very effective for this Chuunibyou Girl.
As for the other Expressionless Girl, she only trembled but didn't laugh like the Chuunibyou Girl.
Was it because of her expressionless state that her discomfort in this regard was also significantly higher?
Although she didn't know how long she could endure, Illya wanted to deliver a powerful blow all at once, directly letting these two know her strength.
Using the power of the First Herrscher, two devices resembling iron maidens appeared behind them. However, the inside of these iron maidens was not filled with spikes, but with feathers.
The Spirit Twins were guided inside under the control of the imaginary arms. After their hands and feet were secured, Illya prepared to close the door from the outside.
"I hope you can endure this, because what's coming next will be much more pleasurable than you imagine. If you can, try not to move around. Otherwise, the pleasure will become even more intense."
Although such words could easily be misinterpreted, upon seeing that they were surrounded by soft feathers, the Spirit Twins began to panic.
To resist Illya, they had both changed into their Astral Dresses, and their Astral Dresses were quite revealing. As soon as the doors closed, these feathers would definitely touch them.
"No! No! I'm sorry! I promise I won't cause trouble anymore! Please let me go! Even if not, at least let Yuzuru go!"
"Denial! Yakushi is very ticklish! I can endure it! Therefore, let Yakushi go! I am willing to take the punishment in place of Yakushi!"
"Oh my, oh my~ Really, you're making me look like a villain. I just want you to experience an unprecedented frame rate skip. Since you two always want to decide a winner, why not settle it in this game?"
With a brilliant smile, Illya grabbed the door of the iron maiden and slowly closed it under the desperate gazes of the Spirit Twins.
"Let's see who can still maintain their sanity when you come out. Don't worry, a Spirit's constitution is very strong, so there's absolutely no chance of dying from laughter. If you really do die, then you'll be the first Spirits in history to die from laughter."
After completely closing the iron maiden, Illya took out a stand, placed her phone on it, aimed it at the silent iron maiden, and activated the recording function.
These two were still making futile struggles, but they would soon realize that struggling would only lead them to hell faster.
"Ah hahahaha!!!!! No! No! I'm dying! I'm dying!"
"I'm sorry! No! I don't want to decide a winner anymore! I surrender! I lost! I lost!!"
As expected, a huge burst of laughter erupted from inside the previously silent iron maiden. It was so melodious, yet it also sounded as if they were crying.
This must be an illusion, listen... how happily they are laughing, it seems they really like this new game. It looks like this can be used for others too.
