Chapter Text
"Well?" Chika asked, both her and Vert observing the check up of Verna. Since the existence of Leanbox's newest Candidate was meant to be kept a strict secret, that meant there weren't a lot of places they could take her to get her a proper check up. So that ended with them calling the one person that had a degree of medical experience and could keep a secret.
… And also make sure Verna wouldn't develop a fear of doctors.
"Almost done~!" The cheery voice of Compa told them, with the girl having the infectious happy attitude she did, Verna pretty much showed no resistance whatsoever to Compa giving her a check up.
Right now, Verna held up her shirt a bit, exposing her stomach which let Compa worm her stethoscope under it and get to her chest to monitor her heartbeat. The coldness of the object obviously made Verna squirm in her seat.
"I know I know I know, it can be chilly. But you're doing amazing, Verny." Compa complimented, giving the Candidate a bright cheery smile. "Look at you being a big tough CPU."
Verna beamed at that comment. "Ye! I'm tough!" She said proudly, earning a giggle from the nurse.
Well, at least she was having fun with it.
"Hmmm..." Compa cutely hummed, listening closely for any abnormalities with her heart beat but found nothing... weird. The nurse kept listening but it still stayed the same. "Huh... that's weird"
"Did you find something?"
"That's the thing, I can't," Compa admitted.. "Verny here is... totally normal. If someone ate this much junk food in one go their tummy woulda been all rumbly but Verny's isn't, she's still her regular old self."
As if on-cue, the Candidates stomach began to rumble, and Verna looked towards her sister with those same puppy dog eyes. "Siiiiis, I'm hungry."
Vert could feel her resistance wavering.
"Well—"
The busty blonde didn't get to finish, as Chika put a finger straight to her lip.
"Don't." Chika admonished her and looked back to Compa. "Do you have anything that could explain her absurd appetite? Someone of her size should not be eating this much."
"N-No, sorry Chika but I have no idea." Compa frowned at her, then her eyes flashed with realization. "W-Well... no never mind..."
"What is it?"
"Ummm... it's just that... whenever Iffy and me go out on a quest, she usually ends up eating a ton after using her magic to keep up with her mana. Maybe Verny is the same?"
Verna just tilted her head, question marks forming around her head as she looked totally lost. "What's a mana?"
Seeing the chance to stretch her big sister muscles further, Vert wasted no time chiming in. "Oh that's very simple to explain, Verna. Essentially one's mana dictates their prowess in magic. So if you have enough of it..." To further explain, Vert held up her hand and conjured up a small tornado in it. "You can do things such as this, among many more."
"Ooooh!" Verna saw that example with wide, amazed eyes. In a second, the young Candidate held out her own hand and tried to do the same thing her ultra cool big sister was doing.
... Though, all it resulted in was the young girl staring intensely at her pal, her cheeks puffed up adorably.
Vert couldn't help but giggle happily at the sight, she still couldn't believe this was her very own little sister! "Magic takes time to master, Verna." The busty CPU cleared up for her and took a seat next to her. "Try... picturing what it is you're trying to do in your head."
Verna nodded to herself, and the six year old tried her best to concentrate and focus. The three in the room watched intently as the little girl stared at her palm, all expecting maybe a tiny gust of wind at best from a CPU so new and inexperienced.
Then...
FWOOSH!
What they got met with was a large blast of wind blowing up in their faces that threw all the women in the room off their feet. That was not anywhere on their list of expectations.
"That..." Chika groaned and stood back up to her feet. "... was surprising."
"Ouchie..." Compa got back up to her feet in a daze. "Ugh... my head still feels spinny."
"Perhaps we ought to add magical control to the curriculum." Vert remarked and got back to her feet as well... but something felt off. "Um, is it just me or did it suddenly get drafty in here?
"Yeah actually it—" Chika glanced down where her face instantly went beet red. "AAAAAAH! WHERE'D MY CLOTHES GO!?"
"Eeeeeek! Mine too!"
"What in the True Goddess's name is this?!" Vert shouted, all of the women in the room having their clothes blasted clean off their bodies. Letting their respectable chests bounce free and fully exposing their sexy curves. Their hands of course shooting to cover themselves up instantly.
"Yaaaaay, I did a magic!" Verna cheered, jumping up and down in glee as she clapped her hands. She was utterly oblivious of what she had done until she opened her eyes, seeing the three women completely naked and simply tilting her head. "Why are you naked, big sis?"
"...The wind blew them away..." Vert explained through a strained calm voice and expression. Mainly because she didn't want Verna to feel bad.
"Ooooh..." Verna nodded in understanding, then she hopped down and started to search for them. "I'll find them! Clothes? Clothes, where are you...? Big sis needs you!"
"Awwwwwww..." Compa gushed... despite her own nakedness.
"Verna what you are trying to do is appreciated but I doubt it'll work." Chika sighed, cheeks getting redder by the second.
Vert had to admit, as adorable as the sight was of her little sister playing detective... Standing around naked wasn't the most ideal situation. At least, when she wasn't getting Shares out of it in the process.
"I think a change of clothes is overdue." Vert offered, to which the other two women nodded in agreement.. "I have spares in my room. Shall we?"
"We happily shall, my dearest." Chika readily agreed.
The next couple of moments went by in a flash for the group of women. True to Vert's word she did take them to her room where they were all quickly dressed in spare changes of clothes, much to their relief. Even more so that they managed to avoid run ins with any of the maids or guards of the Basilicom. All of them very quickly wanting to put the incident behind them, and rightly so.
"Okay, with that out of the way, we need to focus on dealing with Verna's magic... I expected a gust of wind, not a full on blast of it. We need somebody who's willing to properly teach how to use her magic effectively." Chika laid out to her goddess... meanwhile Compa had taken it upon herself to entertain the young Candidate. Which the two of them had to admit was a cute sight to see.
"I-Indeed." Vert agreed. "She's so young, and yet her magic seems to rival my own. Compa had mentioned her mana, but I hadn't expected anything like that in something so... so cute and small!"
"The same could be said for me." Chika spoke with a sigh. "There's someone I had in mind that could maybe teach her a thing or two... hmmm... what was her name again?" The Oracle squinted in thought, searching every last nook and cranny of her brain for details. "Works with 5pb., is a magician, and has a really weird obsession with a certain brand of soda."
"Do you mean MAGES.?" Vert offered, and a lightbulb went off in the Oracle's head. "I think she's Lyrica's cousin, if I remember correctly."
"Yes, her! That was killing me trying to figure that out, if anyone's capable of teaching Verna how to properly use her magic it's definitely her. I mean... she is a magician after all."
"I had heard her magecraft was in a caliber all in its own. Hmm..." Vert mused for a moment, then nodded. "Well, anyone related to Lyrica is certain to be a trusted ally. Plus, I heard she goes above and beyond for Lyrica's concerts."
"That explains the amazing practical effects I've seen in them..." Chika commented under her breath. "In any case, we should ring her up asap. Do you got her number?"
"Erm... no." Vert admitted sheepishly. "I've only interacted with her briefly, she tended to be rather reclusive compared to Lyrica."
"That's... weird considering how shy Lyrica is. Well... do you at least have 5pb.'s number?"
Vert was about to answer her with an obvious "Of course I do!", but before she could even get the first word out, she stopped, looked unsure, and then pulled out her smartphone to check.
Chika wasn't exactly feeling confident when Vert's face looked less and less sure of herself as she scrolled through her contacts.
"...Don't tell me." Chika's tone was totally deadpan when she saw Vert continously scroll through her phone "You don't have her number saved."
Vert gave her Oracle a very, very meek look in response.
"... I'll take that as a yes." Chika's sigh was very long and very exasperated.
"Ehehe..." Vert awkwardly scratched her cheek, trying her best not to look the annoyed Oracle directly in her eyes.
"...Please tell me you at the very least have other ideas for how to reach her." Chika asked, now crossing her arms and giving Vert a disapproving look like she was a mother scolding her child.
"I-I know where Lyrica lives, at the very least!" Vert quickly brought up, as if her life was in actual danger if she let down her Oracle any more. "L-Last I heard she had purchased a modest apartment with her cousin near the forest for the sake of privacy..."
"Please tell me you at the very least have the address written down. Or am I going to need to play a guessing game here?"
Thankfully, Vert pulled through at least on that front. The woman pulled out a sheet of paper and scribbled down an address in perfect cursive before tearing it and handing it to Chika. "If it weren't for my little sister, I would fly you there. And as it stands... Well, I don't know if Compa is a capable babysitter..."
As she said that, the two women gazed at Verna and Compa again, just to see what the duo had been up to while they were distracted.
They quickly realized they should've been paying better attention to the duo.
"Neat, isn't it?" Compa was proudly showing her giant oversized syringe to Verna with the biggest and brightest smile on her face. The nurse's pink eyes sparkling as she explained the next part as if she were describing Christmas morning. "The best part about it is using it to jam all sorts of toxins into the yucky monsters of Gamindustri! Oh! You wanna try it out on a quest?!"
"I do! I do!" The little Candidate was jumping up and down as if she were an Italian plumber, already aiming to grab the oversized needle, which made Vert panic. "I wanna stab some gross monsters!"
"V-Verna, please don't do that!" Vert called out, already halfway across the room to prevent her sister from injuring herself.
"Compa, could you maybe not teach Verna how to stab monsters?"
"Huh?" Compa tilted her head adorably, question marks appearing above her head. "But I'm just teaching her how she can defend her home!"
Chika just pinched the bridge of her nose. "...That isn't what we have a problem with..." She sighed and gave her nose a break. "Vert, can I count on you to keep holding down the fort?"
"Y-Yes, it will be fine, I promise." Vert assured her, as she slowly picked up her sister and guided her away from the massive, unwittingly dangerous needle.
"I wanna! I wanna stabby stab! Lemme stabby stab, big sis!"
"Good luck dearest... you'll need it." Chika told her, leaving Vert to deal with the hyper active child and the deceptively blood thirsty nurse.
"Ugh... what made me think it was a good idea to keep these heels on for this long walk?" Chika complained, taking out the slip of paper Vert gave her and checking over it again. Continuously comparing it and the addresses that she walked passed before eventually settling on the right building.
"Ah, here it is." The green haired Oracle looked through all the apartment units on the buzzer system before clicking on the right one. "Hello? Is this apartment of MAGES.?"
There was a long silence after Chika did that. So long, in fact, that Chika began to wonder if the magician wasn't home at all.
But luckily(?) for the Oracle, just as she was about to turn around and leave with a huff, she finally got an answer...
... in the form of a lanky robotic eye shooting out of the panel and stopping just inches away from the Oracle's face with a piercing red gaze.
Chika instinctively backed away from the… very weird sight she was seeing. 'On second thought I really should've stayed back with Verna and let Vert handle this... dearest you had better thank me for this later!' The Oracle thought and cleared her throat to speak up. "Y-Yes... umm... hello? MAGES.?"
"Oracle of Green." The voice of the Mad Magician came in through crackled audio, as the eye twitched around Chika all... twitchy and jittery. "Firstly, thank you for pronouncing my name correctly. Secondly, what is your business here? If you're seeking Lyrica, she's busy with idol practices today."
"N-No actually, I came here to speak with you specifically." Chika elaborated, giving the weird eye looking thing an equally weirded out stare. "Could we talk face to face please? This thing is kinda freaking me out."
"Hm... very well. Proceed to my door, Oracle of Green. We shall speak in private in my laboratory."
And, thankfully, the weird eye thing slipped back into its metal casing, leaving Chika to just stand there, baffled.
Was... was that legal? Did Chika even want to know?
"...Don't bother, future me can deal with all of those questions..." Chika told herself and was let into the apartment building after getting the buzz it was unlocked. From there it was just a short walk to the magician's apartment, since she lived on the first floor of the building and everything. When she was at the correct door, she promptly gave it a few good and loud knocks.
The first thing Chika heard was a series of locks being unlocked. Like... way too many locks for one door. The Oracle also questioned the legality of that, and then promptly pushed that thought into the back of her mind.
Finally, the door opened, and Chika was greeted by... a sight.
Instead of anything resembling professionalism, MAGES. looked, well, a mess. Her hair was unkempt, and the only thing she had on her person was a grey tank top and stripped panties. In her right hand was a can of Doc Tear Popper and she looked like she hadn't slept properly.
"Welcome to my laboratory, Oracle of Green." She said, before taking another sip of her beloved beverage.
'...Oh dear this is what I'm dealing with…' Chika internally remarked, luckily none of her internal grimace was shown on her face as she gave the magician a polite, if kind of awkward, smile. "Y-Yes... and... what an 'interesting' lair it is."
"Yes, indeed. Please excuse my appearance. I had been up the past few nights working on a commission for a certain enthusiastic client." The mage explained casually. "Would you like to come inside, Oracle of Green?"
"I would like that, yes." Chika replied, to which the blue-haired girl opened the door wider and made the gesture for her to enter. Naturally the Oracle took it... and was unsurprised by how messy it was. With various papers either strewn about on the floor, tables, or even straight up pinned to the wall, being filled with all sorts of various magic nonsense that Chika couldn't even begin to understand.
The cherry on top of everything was the various empty cans of Doc Tear Popper messily placed everywhere.
"...It feels like you are singlehandedly the one women keeping this company in business..." The Oracle nervously remarked
"Our number is small, but rest assured, our laboratory is always prevailing." MAGES. assured her, sounding proud of herself as she finished through the last of her fizzy drink and tossed it aside. It took only seconds before the blue-haired magician opened a mini fridge and pulled out another can, which she quickly cracked open and drank.
That couldn't have been healthy...
"So what brings you to my lab, Oracle of Green?" MAGES. finally asked. "If you wish to commission me a piece of technology, it will have to wait. I'm still making the finishing touches for my current client, and she's offering a handsome amount of credits for it."
"What are you even making that could justify a handsome reward anyway?" The Oracle pondered, she had to admit her curiosity was a bit piqued.
"I'm glad you asked, Oracle of Green." MAGES. smirked, as if she was just waiting for Chika to ask that question as she turned around. "My generous client commissioned me to make a particularly special piece of technology for her. Behold!"
MAGES. grabbed the tech in question, holding it up to the air as if she were a fairy boy holding up a piece of treasure, just missing the fanfare. "The Glasses Goggles! A wonder of technology!"
"...Those are a pair of glasses..." Chika's stare was the most deadpan anyone had ever seen. "...those are a PAIR. OF GLASSES..."
"These glasses, Oracle of Green, are far more than just a vision aid, or else the client wouldn't have paid five million credits for these wonders of technology." MAGES. said smugly.
"... FIVE. MILLION?!" Chika sweatdropped, that was an absurd amount for just a pair of glasses! "What do those glasses even do!?"
MAGES. didn't say anything. Instead, she just slipped the glasses on like she was preparing to make her point.
... Then she started blushing like crazy, staring directly at Chika as she did so, which just made her even more curious.
"...Why are you blushing all of a sudden?" Chika asked, weirdly feeling more... exposed, then normal. It didn't help that instead of answering her question, MAGES. just kept staring at her... and also very subtly nodding, as if doing it in approval.
"... No reason." MAGES. finally said, before clearing her throat and taking the glasses off and placed them back on the table, though she was still blushing pretty hard. "Now then, back to the matter at hand..."
"Riiiiiiiiiiight..." Chika eyed the glasses suspiciously for a moment before clearing her own throat to get back into work mode. "Listen. I need to ask you for a small favor on behalf of Vert. It's something very very important to all of us."
"... Oho? The Goddess of Green is in need of my services?" MAGES. suddenly looked very, very enthusiastic. "Well now, to what do I owe this sudden interest?"
"Listen very carefully." Chika had a very serious look on her face. "What I am about to tell you can't get out to the public. Do I have your word you'll keep this to yourself?"
"Of course, Oracle of Green. Silence and subtlety is one of a magician's greatest qualities. There is no secret I cannot handle."
"Okay..." Chika took a deep breath. "To make a long story short, Vert finally has a little sister of her own and we suspect something might be up with her mana for a number of reasons. So we need you to help us get a proper answer and hopefully train her on how to utilize her magic properly."
There was a very long silence between the two women. MAGES. stared at Chika, her expression completely frozen and body so still that the Oracle was beginning to think MAGES. had somehow frozen herself with magic.
Did she need to call someone or...
"LEANBOX HAS A CANDIDATE?!"
Chika's face winced from how loud that shout was. To the point it actually made her rub her ear. "Thank you, I had always wanted to go deaf..." She sarcastically said.
"... Ahem." MAGES. stopped for a moment, then cleared her throat and quickly regained her usual, calm composure. "Forgive me, I... overreacted a little."
"... Only a little?" Chika deadpanned.
"So, Leanbox finally has its Candidate?" MAGES. continued on. "That is rather surprising. I had assumed Leanbox would never aquire one years ago."
"I was in the same boat, believe me. But low and behold the world decides to prove us wrong."
"And you mentioned that she has issues with her mana?"
"It might be a bit much to say they're 'issues' perse. We can't exactly make much of diagnosis, hence us seeking you out. Like I've already asked, would it be possible for you to come over and see what the issue is? Maybe also train her in how to utilize it correctly?"
"Hmmm... I shall admit, I'm not used to teaching other people in the ways of magic, but having my own disciple... Hm, it does sound enticing..." MAGES. smirked to herself, bringing a hand to her chin as she gave the idea some thought.
The magician looked to already be in the middle of planning out her own curriculum. If the widening smirk she wore on her face and mumbled, barely coherent, whispers were anything to go by.
"So... is it a safe guess that you're willing to accept the offer?" Chika idly asked while she looked around the apartment where her eyes fell upon the glasses from earlier. MAGES. still too busy to even notice what she was doing, letting the Oracle pick them and look over them curiously before putting them on.
"Of course, we are willing to properly compensate—" The crimson-eyed girl's words stopped right in their tracks when she looked at MAGES... who was now totally naked. In a matter of seconds, Chika's face matched the color of her eyes upon seeing the magician's nude form in all its glory.
"I will accept your very generous offer, Oracle of Green. Now then, I—" MAGES. turned around to meet Chika and discuss whatever she had in mind...
At least, until she noticed Chika wearing the special glasses, and her cheeks were basically the same color as her eyes.
"Um..."
"... MAGES.?" Chika asked in an overly sickeningly sweet one, 'calmly' taking the glasses off while she kept on eerily smiling at the mage. "Kindly explain why these glasses see through clothes?"
"It, erm, is the main feature of the glasses, as requested by the client..." MAGES. awkwardly explained. "It allows the wearer to see through clothes, specifically of women."
"... Was this client by any chance short? With red hair and had a gold dragon with her?" Chika asked, sounding somewhat rhetorical.
"... That's confidential." MAGES. said, though the guilty look on her face gave Chika the idea that she was right on the money. "I was only offered the name Crimson."
"...Oh yes, real subtle she was." Chika angrily sighed and took off the glass and held them in her hand. Judging from how it was moving it was more then clear she was about to crush them in her hand.
"P-Please don't do that, Oracle of Green!" MAGES. panicked and rushed over to Chika. "That's fifty hours of my life and five million credits on the line there!"
".. .But also my own integrity and the privacy of every woman in Gamindustri." Chika flatly added on, eyeing the glasses with disdain.
"Please refrain. RE-I mean Crimson would be upset, and I need the credits to fund my future experiments..."
"...You're lucky your livelihood is staked on this. Otherwise it would be pieces to me." Chika bitterly spoke and, very reluctantly, handed the glasses back to her.
The magician sighed in relief, as she proceeded to take the glasses under a very protective clear case. "Now then, back to the topic. I will happily accept your humble offer to take the newest Candidate as my disciple."
Chika visibly sighed in relief, that was one worry crossed off the list. "Thank you, MAGES.. You have no idea how much we appreciate this."
"Oh, it's my pleasure, Oracle of Green. I look forward to teaching the next generation of Leanbox the ways of science and magic." MAGES. said. "with proper compensation, of course. I don't do these things for free."
"Yes yes, I know and expected as much." Chika assured. "What's your payment look like... or do you just want to be compensated with more Doc Tear Popper?"
MAGES. opened her mouth to speak, then froze. Her hand was raised mid-motion, then she stopped, lowered it and brought a hand to her chin as she looked away.
"No... No, I mustn't. Lyrica would kill me..." MAGES. muttered under her breath.
"...You were actually considering that?" Chika had the most flattest unamused look on her face anybody had ever seen. The Oracle pinched the bridge of her nose and shook her head with disappointment. "MAGES. I think you might actually have a problem here."
"I-I was not!" MAGES. defended herself, which Chika didn't buy for a single second. "C-Credits will do just fine, Oracle of Green."
"Then I shall start working out a proper wage for you immediately. Now then, when are you available?' Chika asked... before her face slipped into one of pleading. "... And please tell me it's soon."
"Once I make the finishing touches to my gadget, I will be yours. It should take no longer than a day or two." MAGES. assured her.
"... Do you really have to?" Chika groaned. "Think of what you're about to unleash upon Gamindustri."
"My apologies, but millions of credits is too good of an offer to pass up for my research." MAGES. reasoned. "Just think, I may finally be able to put some funding towards my time machine!"
"Well, when you put it like that, I guess you—" The Oracle paused. "... Wait, what was that about a time machine?"
"... Confidential information. You heard nothing." MAGES. told her seriously. "Alas, I think our meeting has come to a natural end. I shall contact you tomorrow, Oracle of Green."
Don't question it, Chika. Don't question it…
"... Very well then, I bid you farewell for now." Chika responded and promptly left. Leaving the greenette Oracle to her thoughts as she made her way back to the Basilicom.
"...Hmm... come to think of it, where did RED even get five million Credits in the first place? I doubt she actually sold that dragon of hers. Is she actually some super rich princess or something?"
A few more seconds of thought later, Chika just shrugged her shoulders. There wasn't any point in dwelling on it any further. After all, there were plenty more important things to think about.
"If there is a True Goddess out there, please for the love of her do not let RED get those glasses…"
Sometime later in the day, MAGES. heard a knock at her door. Already knowing who it was, the magician didn't spare a single second before going to answer it. Though, she made it a point to finish off her can of Doc Tear Popper first which was quickly followed up with her getting another out of her mini fridge before she finally answered the door.
"Helloooooooooooo~!" RED cheerfully greeted, happily ogling the mage's state of dress with an appreciative gaze. "Oooo lalaaaaaa~ I kinda figured you were a striped panties kind of gal."
"A pleasure to see you again, Lady Crimson." MAGES. completely ignored the flirting attempt as she let the perverted redhead inside of her apartment. "Your gadget is finished and fully functional. Feel free to give it a test run."
RED's eyes lit up like a festive tree, this was the offer of a lifetime! "R-Really?! Y-You aren't messing with me are you?!"
"No, you're not testing it on civilians." MAGES. cut her off. "Just put them on and look at me. I already tested them earlier, but it's important to gain the customer's approval."
"I wasn't gonna go test it on random people! Sheesh..." RED sounded incredibly offended before the pep came back in her tone. "I only wanna use it on wifey candidates! Which, by the way, you definitely are~!"
"Yes. Quite. Anyway," MAGES. gave her the glasses. "If you please."
"Happily~" RED smiled and took the glasses, MAGES. could've sworn it was only a millisecond before the raging lesbian put them on her face. When they were on, the mage immediately saw her stiffen up and her pupils shrink.
She stayed like that for an... eerily long time, to the point MAGES. was genuinely considering calling an ambulance for her. The second she saw a nosebleed though told her everything she had to know... along with RED's following words.
"... Has anyone ever told you how amazing you look without clothes~?..." RED practically- and actually -drooled. Happily taking in the sight of the mage's nude body.
MAGES. actually blushed, then cleared her throat. "W-Well, now that we can confirm they work, I do believe it's time for payment."
"O-Ooooooooooh... right... ahehehe... funny story about that." RED suddenly got very very nervous. "Ummm... I... uhhh... kinda only have... five."
"... Thousand?" MAGES. finished up... sounding miffed despite her calm tone.
"Hehehe..." RED somehow get even more nervous. Especially with the increasingly angry look MAGES. was giving her. "No... just... five... that's it..."
"... Just... five measly Credits?..." The mage repeated, clenching her fist so incredibly tight she could've sworn she could make a diamond with the sheer strength she had in the moment.
"D-Don't worry though! I have a plan here!" RED quickly cleared up... and what she said next only dug her grave deeper. "I'll be sure to tell everyone I know who made these glasses and you'll have clients, and cash, rolling in by the second!" The redhead offered... but it did nothing for the seriously pissed off mage, making the wifey hunter take a nervous gulp. "Uhh... has anyone ever told you how sexy you are when you're mad?"
"Fifty hours... sleepless nights and stress... a miracle of technology... and you're offering me clout?!"
"... Yes?" RED's pathetic little squeak was very high and her legs were trembling her the mage's blue gaze.
In hindsight she probably should've thought this through more.
MAGES. only had a single response to that.
It was simple, really.
Seeing her face, the mad magician balled her hand up into a tight fist.
"... What a waste."
"What do you mea—GWEH?!"
Next thing RED knew, she felt her face collide with the fist of the extremely pissed off mage. The force was more than enough to knock the horny brained redhead onto the ground on her ass while she held her, now thoroughly, bleeding nose.
"Owwwwwwwww ow ow ow!" RED whined... though that pain paled in comparison when she saw what remained of the glasses.
… Rather, the remains of the glasses.
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The redhead cried out at seeing all the broken pieces, her cry of anguish being like someone who had just learned their spouse had died on a lava planet.
At the end of it all, a very pissed mad magician shook her palm, then sighed from pure frustration as she went to go make a phone call, and very likely a request for a raise too.
"Feel free to see yourself out." MAGES. sternly told her as she walked past. "And please, don't come back unless you have five million credits or a wish to be punched again."
RED only pouted in response, wisely choosing to leave. Though she did make sure to discreetly pick up whatever pieces of the glasses that were still intact first.
"Owwwwwwww... ow ow ow ow..." RED complained as she left the apartment building, glancing over to her dragon for emotional support but only got a flat stare in return. "I know I know... I should've offered her my body instead..."
The response just made the dragon slouch it's head.
It wondered if she would ever learn...
