Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

After an unknown amount of time, and after more than a hundred customers who happened to be passing by had their memories erased, Misaki Shokuhou and Satella finally stopped.

You have no sense of direction!

Misaki Shokuhou said resentfully, her face still flushed from the intense exercise. Although she was still just a loli, she already had a charming and alluring air about her.

“I can’t just let this kind of malicious slander go unheard,” Satella defended herself. “We agreed to come here to buy clothes, so what’s wrong with me walking into this clothing mall? You’re the one in the wrong, okay?”

"How could I possibly buy such cheap goods from a shopping mall?!"

Satella ignored Misaki Shokuhou's interruption and continued, "And, I've also discovered something incredible."

"Oh?" Misaki Shokuhou looked at him with an expression that said, "Tell me about it."

Satella then pointed to a room in the corner of the shopping mall and said, "That door was clearly locked from the outside, but I saw someone sneaking in earlier, and I could hear people talking inside. It's quite unsettling."

"Oh." Misaki Shokuhou glanced at Satella's finger and responded indifferently, with a hint of disdain, "You mean that one, [Blind Spot]?"

"Huh—? So there really was something wrong with that room?"

"You just said 'really,' right? You weren't sure at all in the first place, were you? So what you said before was just an excuse, right?"

Misaki Shokuhou stared intently at Satella until Satella guiltily looked away, then nonchalantly asked:

"If it were you, what do you think that room would be used for?"

"Well……"

"It's hard to say, isn't it? In fact, even the building's employees can't say exactly what these rooms with unclear functions are used for. Or rather, they all think that this should be under the jurisdiction of other people. Customers don't go to these kinds of places, and neither do the employees. There aren't even any security cameras installed, so some people call them 'blind spots' and use them to conduct arms sales."

"They've opened an arms exchange in a place like this? How can they be so blatant?" Satella exclaimed in surprise.

"You call this blatant? That's because you haven't seen the dark side of Academy City."

Misaki Shokuhou looked uninterested and clearly didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Alright, let's go buy clothes. Not the cheap stuff sold in these department stores, but real high-end products. If you get lost again this time, I'm not going to take care of you!"

Saying this, Misaki Shokuhou grabbed Satella's hand and walked out in silence.

"Heh, you stubborn tsundere!"

Satella was about to mock Misaki Shokuhou, but the scenery after she stepped out of the shopping mall made her pause slightly.

"You're not planning to run off somewhere else again, are you?" Misaki Shokuhou gripped Satella's hand tightly, as if Satella would vanish in a flash if she let go.

"Don't treat me like a child with ADHD."

Satella pouted in dissatisfaction. She stopped because the street scene in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

Well, to be more precise, this is the street outside the alley when she transmigrated here.

What a coincidence! We ended up coming full circle.

Oh right, what if we run into Shirai Kuroko again?

But it doesn't matter if we run into each other...

No, it's better to have encountered it.

Misaki Shokuhou is extremely weak against special devices like the Queen Diver, but she is an absolute nightmare boss when dealing with ordinary people.

If Shirai Kuroko were to run into her, it would be perfect for Shokuhou Misaki to erase any memories related to herself from her mind.

Unfortunately, despite Satella's prayers that Shirai Kuroko would crash into her, Shirai Kuroko ultimately did not.

After walking for a while, the two finally arrived at a high-end women's fashion store.

After leaving the enthusiastic salesperson behind, Satella and Misaki Shokuhou browsed around the store on their own.

"Women's clothing, women's clothing!"

Satella's beautiful red eyes darted around like mosquito coils, and her delicate face flushed an unusual red with embarrassment.

Before, it was out of necessity, but now I have to buy women's clothes myself. It's really embarrassing!

After some hesitation, Satella finally chose a pair of white casual pants and a navy blue T-shirt.

Upon seeing the clothes Satella had chosen, Misaki Shokuhou nearly fainted, exclaiming speechlessly, "Are you trying to dress yourself up like a matchstick girl?"

Then he reached out to snatch the clothes from Satella's hands.

Like a child whose favorite toy is about to be taken away, Satella squatted on the ground, clutching the clothes she had chosen, and cried out, "No! This is my last shred of dignity, and I absolutely will not allow you to take it away from me!"

Misaki Shokuhou: "..."

Chapter 22 Misaki Shokuhou's Self-Discipline

Sometimes, Misaki Shokuhou really couldn't understand what kind of person Satella was.

When faced with pursuers, she remained calm and decisive, choosing the best escape route. She was a person with a strong will and great wisdom.

When faced with the bewildered Misaki Shokuhou, her smile is healing and gentle, making her a person who inspires peace of mind and longing.

When she's speeding on her motorcycle, she's so unrestrained that she can be a bit eccentric, making her seem a little offbeat.

She's capable of any lewd act when they're playfully fighting; she's a despicable and shameless person.

……

And now, she's squatting on the ground like a child throwing a tantrum; she's an innocent and adorable person.

To be honest, Misaki Shokuhou really wanted to use her ability to peer into Satella's mind and see what she was thinking.

but……

That won't work.

Misaki Shokuhou would never use her powers on the silver-haired girl who saved her.

This is a self-discipline she set for herself.

Just as you have to point a remote control at a target to unleash your power, so-called "self-discipline" is a rule imposed on "psychological control" that you must abide by for a lifetime.

Why set such a self-discipline for yourself?

Just because she saved him?

Misaki Shokuhou doesn't think that's the case.

There was something about the elfin, silver-haired beauty that Misaki Shokuhou cared about more than the debt of being saved; something that attracted her even more.

Even the erudite Misaki Shokuhou didn't know what words to use to describe such a 'thing'.

The only thing she was certain of was that the silver-haired girl was a very special person to her.

"Ok."

Misaki Shokuhou sighed helplessly, "You can keep this outfit for yourself. I'll show you a few more. Anyway, there's not much difference between buying one set and buying several sets."

oh oh!

This time, he's hooked up with a real rich and beautiful woman!

Satella thought to herself shamelessly, "It seems I don't have to worry about my life in Academy City."

"By the way, why do you often add the word 'force' when you speak?"

"Do you have any complaints about these verbal tices that express individuality and femininity?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, I just find it strange."

"..."

The two chatted as they browsed the clothing store, and soon Misaki Shokuhou had picked out three outfits for Satella.

It has to be said that Satella is a natural clothes hanger. Her golden ratio figure is so well-proportioned that it is a perfect figure that is neither too much nor too little. No matter what clothes she wears, they all look great on her.

Even her previous boyish outfit made her look incredibly energetic and gave off a clean and carefree vibe.

In short, Misaki Shokuhou's face flushed imperceptibly after seeing Satella put on that outfit.

Noticing Misaki Shokuhou glancing at her, Satella said with a hint of smugness, "How about it? Are you envious of my great figure?"

"No way!"

"Just admit it. Someone once said that 'breasts are a woman's most beautiful ornaments.' I think that makes a lot of sense. Look, I can hold my head high with pride because I have such perfect breasts, while you, with your flat chest, can only use arrogance to hide your envy and jealousy."

"What's the use of Everbright Securities? It's just a cow!"

"It's better than yours, it'll fit two screws on the motherboard!"

"..."

After nearly knocking out the dignified Level 5 Misaki Shokuhou through her sharp tongue, Satella finally let go of the pitiful creature.

Poor Misaki Shokuhou vowed in her heart, tears streaming down her face, that no matter what method she used, her breasts would definitely be bigger than Satella's in the future!

In short, after several minor hiccups, the two finally managed to buy the clothes.

To be honest, Satella felt a little dizzy when she saw the string of zeros at checkout. She thought that even if she were to engage in escort services, with her stunning looks, she would have to do it several times to earn that much money.

This discovery made her start to reflect on whether she had bullied Misaki Shokuhou too much.

What if this high-quality long-term meal ticket flies away?

That being said, blonde, flat-chested, tsundere loli still makes people want to bully her.

Speaking of meal tickets, Satella realized that she hadn't eaten for several hours.

I touched my tummy, and it was already flat.

"Gurgle..."

Wow! My stomach is growling with hunger!

wrong--

Satella suddenly seemed to realize something and turned her suspicious gaze to Misaki Shokuhou beside her.
