Chapter 69 - 62

"No signs of Mental Cubes or anything like that. Back then, a mental cube was involved, but now they are just... cute." (Akashi)

I had to carry the two of them to Akashi's workshop in the factory to find out a cause. It's not as if they are the size of a fairy, rather, they are the size of a small child now.

"In fact, are you sure they are our Shigure-chan and Zuihou-chan?" (Akashi)

"What does that mean?"

"I don't think they are the Zuihou-chan and Shigure-chan we know. It's one thing if they were kids but they haven't even said a word at all." (Akashi)

That's true. So far the only thing they have been doing is making small grunts and trying to get my attention. They have not spoken a single word at all. That's right. Are these two really our girls?

"Should we test this theory?"

"What are you planning?" (Akashi)

"If I can call Zuihou and Shigure here, it means that these two don't belong here."

"That could work." (Akashi)

I walked over to the intercom and made the call.

"Zuihou and Shigure, please come to the factory immediately."

Now we wait.

Several minutes passed and those two still have not made their appearance yet.

Seriously? Are you saying that these two kids really are Shigure and Zuihou? If so, the million yen question is, how did they end up like this?

"Akashi!!!" (???)

Loud footsteps can be heard outside. They seem to be getting closer.

A girl with a short ponytail and dark blue serafuku that exposes her midriff came bursting in. She definitely rushed here, seeing as she is trying to catch her breath. I don't think she noticed me yet.

If Yuubari is acting like this...

"Yuubari? What's going on?" (Akashi)

"Those two girls... Have you seen them?" (Yuubari)

"You mean these two girls?

Yuubari turned around and finally noticed us. Though, her main focus seemed to be on Shigure and Zuihou.

"Wah! So cute! Wait, that's not it! It failed... This wasn't the effect I was going for..." (Yuubari)

"Yuubari,"

"Ah. Crap." (Yuubari)

"Care to explain?"

-----------------------------------------------------

-Last Night- Yuubari POV-

Finally, I did it! The Bust-up drug!

This bottle of medicine is my greatest creation yet!

It took so long. This should increase my bust size by 2, no, 3 sizes! Hehehe! My dream can finally come true. Now, I'll just chill it overnight and it will be perfect! The taste should be like melon tea so it's delicious at the same time. But where can I chill it?

Oh yeah. I can put it in the cafeteria fridge.

I can't wait for tomorrow!

-----------------------------------------------

-Present day-

"So it was you!!!"

"Eep!" (Yuubari)

A bust-up drug that had the opposite effect. I don't know whether to laugh or feel bad. Zuihou would flip if she was still normal.

"How did you figure out that Zuihou-chan and Shigure-chan were the ones that drank your medicine?" (Akashi)

"I woke up late this morning. When I went to the cafeteria fridge to try out my medicine, it was gone! That's when I heard from the others that there were two kids wandering around the district. The announcement calling for Zuihou-san and Shigure-san made me realize that the two of them may have drank my medicine." (Yuubari)

What kind of plot is this?

"So the medicine failed and had a weird effect instead." (Akashi)

"Zuihou and Shigure drank the failed medicine and became like this."

"No. It was taken out too earlier, that's why the effect became weird. If it remained as it was for a while more, it would have it's intended effect." (Yuubari)

"Even so, don't put weird stuff in the cafeteria fridge you idiot!!!"

I used my knuckles and thwacked Yuubari's head.

"Ouch! uugh... I'm sorry..." (Yuubari)

"So, how long are they going to stay like this?"

"Erm... I don't know. The effect was supposed to be permanent."

I raised my hand again to wack her another time.

"But if I have the correct materials, I can reverse the effect!" (Yuubari)

"Alright. What's the catch?"

"Um... It will take two months to get the materials." (Yuubari)

"Two months?! They are going to be stuck like this for two months?!"

"Oh my!" (Akashi)

"I got those materials through the main channel. It will take two months for them to process the order and deliver it." (Yuubari)

Oh. That's it?

"If that's the case, I can just make a emergency order."

"Eh? You can do that?" (Yuubari)

"Of course I can. It's expensive so I don't do it all the time. I should be able to get it by tomorrow."

"That's great! If that's the case..."

I already know what this girl wants. She wants to continue her experiments.

"Fine. But only after getting these two back to normal."

"You got it! Just give me 2 days and the reverse medicine should be ready." (Yuubari)

In the meantime, how am I going to care of the both of them?
