Because of her naivety, Shirayuki had encountered the most serious crisis of her life.
She was locked in the infirmary by Agnes Tachyon.
"Tachyon-senpai, what do you want?"
"I just want to examine your body."
Her arm held tightly, alarm bells rang in her head. From the start, she had felt that Tachyon's gaze was getting stranger and stranger, and now, she was no longer hiding her intentions.
An immense force came from her arm. She was twisted around, and at the same time, the measuring tape in Tachyon's hand instantly wrapped around her waist.
"Height 156, B76-W58-H82. Next is strength. If you keep moving like this, I can't take the measurements."
"This isn't an examination! Stop it!"
Seeing her being held in a tight embrace, the measuring tape being looped around her buttocks, she struggled desperately.
"Is this really okay, Shirayuki-san? Resisting me like this," Tachyon said with a faint smile. "I can't be held responsible for what happens next."
"You're not going to secretly pour those strange potions down my throat, are you?"
"My, you even know about that," Tachyon said in surprise. "If you knew, then why did you come in?"
"I thought you weren't as bad as the rumors said!"
"My apologies for that, but all the rumors about me are true. You're not the first student I've used for experiments, and you won't be the last."
"I'm so stupid, really..."
"Now, now, don't be like that. If you keep resisting, I can't conduct my experiment."
"Experiment?! What are you going to do to me?"
"It won't be unpleasant. Come on, lift your hips, and relax."
"Hearing you say that makes it even harder for me to relax!"
While she was struggling, Chiya was on his way.
Although an ordinary human inserting himself between two Horse Girls was a death wish, he at least had the status of a trainer.
No matter how bold Tachyon was, she probably wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a trainer.
Probably...
"Shirayuki-san, we're just wasting time if this continues. I know where your classroom is. Do you think you can run away?"
"Eek?! What do you want?"
"I'm very interested in you," Tachyon said to the struggling girl. "How about this: let's each take a step back. Don't you need to fill out the student council recommendation application? I can help you get a spot."
Hearing this, Shirayuki's movements paused.
"As long as you help me complete my experiment, I'll help you fill out the recommendation. I'm very good at this sort of thing. I guarantee the student council will be very satisfied."
"What do you think? It's not a bad deal for you, is it?" she asked. "I just need a set of your physical data and for you to test a few small things for me. Don't worry, it won't cause any harm to your body. The Horse Girls I've fed potions to are still alive and kicking, right? At most, their heads glow a little."
"...Glow?"
"That's right. What a cute side effect. It's so eye-catching. Compared to those drugs that cause injury and illness, mine are very safe. And what I want you to test is not something you eat."
"Then what is it?"
Just as she was about to ask...
"Agnes Tachyon—"
The door opened, and a black figure walked in.
Golden eyes swept over the restrained Shirayuki. She strode forward and grabbed Tachyon by the tail.
"Eek!"
Wincing in pain, she let go, and Shirayuki was free.
"Cafe, what are you doing here?!"
"I heard you talking to this child this morning. I had a bad feeling then. I borrowed the key to the infirmary from the health committee member. There's no such thing as reporting physical data."
"Oh my, Cafe, eavesdropping is not a good habit."
"Your voice was too loud. And all I know is that when you approach these underclassmen... it's never for anything good."
"That's just prejudice."
"I'm not listening to your excuses. If you don't leave, I'll report your unauthorized use of the infirmary to the Disciplinary Committee."
"Wait! I get it, I'm going, I'm going, alright?"
Hearing the words 'Disciplinary Committee,' Tachyon immediately backed down. She didn't want to be caught and forced to reflect on her actions again.
Before leaving, she said to Shirayuki, "If you change your mind, you can always come find me in my lab."
With that, she hurried away.
The black-haired girl turned her head.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, thanks to you."
She picked up the clothes that Shirayuki hadn't had time to put on.
"That Tachyon, she often tricks inexperienced underclassmen, mixing potions in their candy or replacing their drinks. She once spread false information on the news board in the main hall, getting everyone to come to the infirmary for a physical examination just to get their data."
She handed the clothes to her.
"In short, she's a completely shameless person. In the future, no matter what she asks you to do, you must refuse. Nine times out of ten, she's up to no good."
Shirayuki nodded in deep agreement.
"By the way, may I ask your name, senpai?"
"Manhattan Cafe," the black-haired girl said. "If you have time, you can come to my room. I'll make you a cup of coffee."
"Okay."
"I'll see you later. Remember to be careful of Tachyon."
With that, she also left the room.
Shirayuki dressed herself in silence.
Learn from your mistakes. Tracen was much more dangerous than she had imagined.
As a trainer, he might not have felt it, but Horse Girls lived a completely different life from them.
As she was dressing, she suddenly heard a faint, cold sound. Pricking up her ears, she looked in the direction of the sound.
A black figure was standing quietly beside her.
"Cafe-senpai?" she tilted her head. "Didn't you already leave?"
"My..."
Hearing this, the figure turned its head.
"Heh... little one, you can see me?"
"What are you talking about, senpai?"
"Interesting."
As she was feeling confused, Chiya opened the door and walked in. As if a switch had been flipped, a strong gust of wind howled into the room, sending the infirmary curtains flying.
Both of them closed their eyes. When the strange gust of wind subsided, they opened them again.
The black figure that had been standing in front of them was gone.
The floor was empty. There was nothing.
What?
What was that?
Shirayuki blinked.
She had just seen Cafe standing there. How did she disappear in an instant?
There was no one else in the room.
Strange.
A few question marks popped up in her head. After thinking to no avail, she shook her head.
Maybe her eyes were playing tricks on her. She had training next. She couldn't delay any longer.
But Tachyon's proposal remained in her mind.
If I'm really short on people in the end, I might have to accept it.
