"What are you even >implying, Aya-chan!!!"

  Madi-san is completely horrified, putting one hand to her mouth, spine started back in a mirrored pose to mine! Now standing up fully from where Sachiko-senpai was held down by the arms, Sachiko-senpai takes the chance to roll out of the way!

  "Implying?! It's the truth isn't it! I knew there was something weird about your retionship with a whole bunch of girls! Starting with ME, your best detective! How many times have you tried to sneak into my bedroom the two weeks we've been here?!?!"

  I'd be more surprised if there ever comes a night where I am not roughly awakened by Madi-san to go 'conspiracy chasing' with her and getting into all sorts of trouble! It has been this way since we were roommates on Bylon Isnd, where somehow we would always end up on the same side of the bed by morning! How long have you been bullying Sachiko-senpai by doing this! Probably since your [Sunset Orphanage] days!!! Out with it! Confess your sins!

  "You... you too, Aya-chan?? Why does nobody ever believe me when it comes to Sachiko?! Sachiin's ALWAYS the yabai one here..."

  Mouth sputtering out excuses like a leaky tetsubin[1]. the purple-haired one streams excuses down her face...

  "I'm... I'm seiso! [2]"

  Seiso?! You are more of a walking hazard to the entire Shxxnen Jxmp editorial department! The things you have done to me can't even be drawn out loud in super interesting manga with suspicious reflections in the water tap droplets! Forget Sqxare or Sxnday, that's not fit for publication there EITHER! I don't even need to use the green for this one, you know EXACTLY what you did to me in the shower room!

  Even though it never materialized, my words impale right through the center of Madi-san's humongous chest from above! Like a gigantic nce, it pierces through the ceiling and strikes the carpeted floor, Madi-san unable to remove the wedge from her heart...!

  "W-why does nobody ever believe me over Sachiin'...?!"

  That's because with Sachiko-senpai it would be extremely ODD behavior for the poised, refined and perfecto girl who is renting her apartment to us out of the kindness of her heart! With >you, its just the start of another Saturday! Face it, Madi-san you are a gigantic p---

  Madi-san doesn't even listen for me to finish, putting fingers in both ears while streaking purple for the window! Screeching to a halt before it, she kicks open the bck-framed window and pulls out rappelling rope from her bag-o-tricks, swinging into the streaming downpour outside...!

  It's raining.

  But for me...

  I'm smiling...!

  Has... Has this ever happened before? Not for me obviously! I've never been able to best Madi-san in a verbal confrontation!

  Up until now! By using the green, I was able to hit Madi-san where it truly hurts! Maybe logic and reason aren't the cure to Madi-san's madness! In order to fight her anonymous message board induced insanity, maybe I have to use magick that comes straight outta the Mxngxlian Basket Weaving Message Boards!

  I have no regrets, by the way. All of Madi-san's criminal bullying against me is true. (You) are my best witness! All the way from when we met Val-sama, has Madi-san not been the embodiment of malevolent mischief? A little payback shouldn't be out of the question!

  Ahhh... but it feels so good!

  Ayano... is winning!

  It is like the bance of power has shifted dramatically from 'overwhelming disadvantage' to 'even' all of a sudden, and your small and cute detective is the only beneficiary!

  Behind me, a tall and rindere girl gets up, breathing heavily while leaning against the dining table,

  "Thanks for the save, Ayano." Leaning down to pick up her sorceress hat and righting it back on her head, "Madison took it upon herself to force me to tell her---"

  "">F-F-F-F-orced?!?!" Madi-san forced herself on you?! Is this the beginning of some sort of illicit retionship I am not supposed to be viewing? W-wait, that definitely is not PG-13, I need to verify it with the gr-

  MMMORGHH---!!!!A yer of Sachiko-senpai's signature ink magick materializes like a thin piece of liquid and bck cloth, wrapping itself tightly on the lower half of my mouth! No matter how much I try to pull it off while knocked on my back, my fingers just slip through the viscous goo and then gets my entire hand stuck on the side of my face anyway!

  "shinitaidesu ka?"

  Sachiko-senpai says the most horrifying words with a wondrously 'nice and cute' smile! While casually leaning against the back of the table, the oily dark ink that mennifests in swirls around her upper body retie the undone ribbon on her top, before sliding off her body onto the floor, and then into nothingness!

  I'm doing barrel rolls on the floor carpet when Sachiko-senpai very nicely walks over to me, casting a long shadow over my horrified head! Save me, Madi-san! Save me!!!

  Ah...

  Madi-san...

  Is gone...

  And I was the one who...

  Chased her away...?

  "(You) need to stop abusing the green, newfag." Sachiko-senpai is smiling with both eyes closed as she looks down on me, one bck panty-hosed leg just casually stepping on one of the sidecurls on my hair! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for abusing the >greentext!

  Why isn't the [Narrator's Power] suppressing Sachiko-senpai's curse words like I am doing for Madi-san anyway?! Its a rexatsu thing! It definitely is a rexatsu thing!! You're scaring me, so stop it already, Sachiko-senpai!!!

  "Homu homu, Madison's not the kind of girl who would break so easily from that."

  hai! Yes! I totally get it! That is true! But I just wanted to win, even just for once! Please stop crouching over me at the side? Even if we are both girls and you are wearing dark pantyhose, this is a little...!

  "But (you) do. So, what was my beloved Kōhai saying about illicit retionships again?"

  Absolutely nothing! Absolutely nothing at all! In fact, Sachiko-senpai is the purest, most seiso of all! She probably likes guys the most! Even though I have personally never seen Sachiko-senpai in the presence of one, outside of cospy col--- AHHH!!! AHHHHHH!!!!

  A gre with narrowed irises from Sachiko-senpai's single open auburn eye told me that I had just strode into forbidden territory! Please, forgive me! I tap, I tap!

  "Don't worry, I'm graduated already. I can colb with anyone I want. My cute Kōhaiunderstandos, right?" She says, while giving my head lying on the ground a very friendly pat like she would to an absolutely horrified kitten...!

  I want to scream I don't have any idea what you are talking about, but I just settle for nodding my head reflexively up and down instead! That's right! That's right! How can Sachiko-senpai be a yuribaiter! That sounds like someone from a profession with an audience of predominantly mxles would do! Clearly this is a misunderstanding! Do as you please, Sachiko-senpai! The city is yours!!!

  "I'm gd we cleared that misunderstanding up. Too early in the morning for silly misunderstandings~ I don't want you to think badly of me." Sachiko-senpai fingers the side of her cheek and gives me a headtilt, unraveling the liquid gag over my mouth! Coughing and hacking for air like some poor sailor who had been just been dragged underwater by an abyssal eldritch god, I reflexively back away from the kneeling Sachiko-senpai, who is now totally acting cute by putting her elbows on her kneeling thighs, wrists close to her cheeks!

  "Ayano. Remember that there are forces in Vespana far powerful than you. Conceal your powerlevel somewhat, if you can."

  You don't worry there, I just got a first-hand lesson! Acting the idiot detective is what I am naturally the best at! The best! The most defective! The detective defective!!!

  "I say this for your own good,

  because using the green too often...

  ... will attract them."

  "(((Them)))?"

  "No. Not (((Them))). Those like us." There is a twinkle in Sachiko's knowing eyes.

  Shaking my head like a shiba given simultaneous commands at once, I don't understand!

  "You will. Sooner or ter. There's a real blowback to overusing the green."

  I... don't understand?

  I feel completely fine, a little shaken, but that's mostly from you...

  The green just comes naturally out of my mouth, is there any retion between the two things you just said?

  S-so long as I don't use it on you, right, Sachiko-senpai?

  Sachiko-senpai stays silent.

  That silent smile is the most scary!

  "Get some help, Ayano. Maybe some OPSEC as well. Keep your head out of the gutter."

  hai! I'll do my best!

  Would you look at the time!

  Its time for your detective to start advancing the mystery plot!

  Breakfast not needed!
