“Haaaang… Ah, no…! That’s not it!”

“Ah, I got it… I got it, so stop!”

Ten minutes later, I was caught by them and decided to lie down, crying and screaming.

It’s not me!

No way!

“… Father, it’s clear that Miss Asia wasn’t in a normal state either.”

“Ugh… Oh, that’s right! That potion! That’s why!”

“Potion?”

Finding an excuse, I decided to blame all the public masturbation on the potion.

Anyway, the potion I bought from that man had a terrifying effect that erased the presence of the person who drank it, and at the same time, caused an aphrodisiac effect!

scary…!

How cruel the effect!

The most terrifying part about this is that it’s hourly.

Yeah, whoever made this is clearly a pervert.

I have this weird sexual desire where I get excited when I see women who have become invisible masturbating in public and then running away after their identities are discovered!

Oh my god, there’s such a guy!

“… Magic potions can’t have two effects at the same time… .”

“Eww!”

“… I’m going to go but I don’t know anything about the world, okay! ”

phew….

I think I managed to get through it somehow.

Okay, okay, let’s get out of here quickly.

If I stay here, everyone will recognize me.

“Ummm… By the way, why are they selling such a potion?”

“What that person said is also suspicious.”

You’re not planning to investigate, are you?

Let’s just go… .

I don’t want to be here… .

“There…we just….”

“Asia, where did you say that was?”

But it seems like everyone’s minds are already full of thoughts about investigating the truth of the incident.

… I guess I was too motivated as usual.

Let’s take it easy!

“… Follow me.”

I was forced to reveal the truth about the city once again.

Yeah, well… I thought it would be like this.

There’s no way we can just let such a suspicious event go.

***

“Here it is.”

“There’s no one.”

Well, of course, there was no one in that alley.

I wasn’t running a store or anything, I was just walking around naked, so of course I would come and go.

Especially considering that victims like me might come back here complaining, I might not even come back to this place.

“What should I do? Should I scatter and look for it?”

“Um… .”

Lisa looked at me with anxious eyes, perhaps because she remembered looking for me earlier.

“It’s okay because I drank it by mistake. Do you think something will happen?”

“… This won’t work.”

She nodded, but then suddenly shook her head at my continued words.

“Why, why?”

“It makes me feel uneasy to see Asia say that. She always does that, but there’s never a time when something strange hasn’t happened.”

“… That’s true.”

As expected from Lisa… Excellent insight.

“Um… Then how do I find it?”

“Did you bring the empty bottle?”

“Yes.”

Since I was just leaving after stopping by my accommodation, I also packed an empty bottle with me.

“Let’s at least learn about this disease. Maybe we’ll get some clues.”

It was a valid inference, but when we left the general store, all we could find out was that this was a potion container sold at the store.

“I guess they bought the potion here and just changed the contents. There’s no clue, right?”

“Also, we scattered and explored… .”

Lisa looked at me, deeply thoughtful about both of their opinions.

“But isn’t that strange?”

“What is it?”

Lisa looked around and said.

“The timing is so perfect.”

“That’s right.”

Because it’s a game!

It just started because it was the right time for the event to start.

In the game, the man is just an event NPC who appears when needed and then disappears after completing his duties.

But I couldn’t say this to them, and if I did, they would become the same, so I didn’t say it out loud.

“Maybe… that guy is here too?”

“Huh!”

Oh, what a twist!

Come to think of it, that might be the case.

In fact, he was eavesdropping on our entire conversation and just showed up and spoke to us at the right moment!

After hearing that, Karin started waving her hands in the air to see if she could catch anything.

It’s cute.

It wouldn’t be of any use since I’m not going to become invisible anyway.

“If that’s the case, we can’t catch it.”

“Actually, there is one way.”

“Huh? What is it?”

Instead of answering, Lisa took us somewhere.

“Lisa? Where are you going?”

“Follow me.”

She took us to a deserted lot, and suddenly took out her cane.

“Fire Storm!”

“Huh?”

Suddenly magic here?

Kwaaang!

Her magic drew a circle and trapped us inside it.

“Lee, Lisa? What are you doing?”

“… Think about it carefully. If that guy was following us, wouldn’t he be trapped here too?”

uh?

That is, she was sure he was here and she trapped him in there with all of us!

Anyway, it will all work out with time, just like me!

“But what if it’s not here?”

When Karin asked, Lisa answered uncertainly.

“Oh, I can’t help it… .”

“… … .”

I thought you had amazing reasoning skills.

I guess they’re just going to do it first and see.

Well, this is something that if you waste time on it, it might just run away.

“Um… Then what are we doing here in the meantime?”

“… Well?”

***

“Ugh, eww!”

I was dozing off when I suddenly woke up to a scream.

“Let me out…!”

Besides the four of us, there was another person trapped within this spell.

“… Can you all see it?”

“Yes.”

“Is that guy?”

I can’t recognize his face because he’s wearing a robe, but his voice is the same.

“Yes.”

“This kid… .”

“Heeek!”

Got it.

We caught the culprit so easily.

“Sa, sa, please save me! I, I just live day to day… .”

Flash.

“Heeek!”

As I thrust my sword in, he began to tremble as if he were about to pee himself.

This kid… I can’t forgive him!

Not only did you give me that, you’re also stealing my breasts?

“, the chest is mutually agreed upon… .”

“Shut up!”

“Eek… !”

Anyway, I can’t forgive you!

“… So, where did this come from?”

“That, that’s… .”

He hesitated to answer Lisa’s question.

Swish.

“Eek! That, that guy! I got it from that guy!”

“That guy?”

What is this unnatural title?

“If you say it like that, will we understand?”

“Ugh! But, but! We don’t know the names either!”

“Us?”

“Oops.”

He covered his mouth in embarrassment.

Of course we all heard it.

“Karin, get ready.”

“Yeah.”

“Ugh! What, what! Why are you holding a dagger to my ear!”

Karin spat out her prepared lines to him as he trembled.

“Can you hear even if you only have one ear?”

“Ugh, uh-uh-uh… !”

Poguruk.

He just collapsed and passed out, foaming at the mouth.

“You, aren’t you taking it too far… .”

Serena looked slightly startled at the sight.

I guess I don’t know this dark side because I’ve only lived purely…

Yeah, I hope she stays that way.

May the day never come when she knows such darkness as the Inquisition!

And then we woke up again and we got everything he knew from him.

“Hmm… What do you think?”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Serena was furious and stormed off.

“There’s no way such a person could exist in this world! Heresy! Heresy! ”

“Hey, calm down for a moment.”

While Karin was trying to stop her, I looked at Lisa.

“… Honestly, I find this hard to believe.”

“Oh, it’s true! It’s true!”

“Hmm… .”

But somehow I felt like that might be the case.

That guy he’s talking about.

Perhaps this term, used to refer to a man, referred to a ‘non-existent person’ who lived in a hidden part of the city.

What this means is that no one knew him.

How long have you lived there and what is your name?

I don’t even know what he looks like.

Even though I clearly saw his face, strangely enough, I couldn’t remember it.

The potion that contained a part of himself was also a product that he sold periodically to several merchants.

A potion that erases a person’s presence.

It only has a temporary effect, but if you take too much, it is said that no one will notice your presence.

“We heard that from him too. I, I’m sure I saw his face every time… but I can’t remember who he is! I, I know it sounds like a lie, but it’s true! T-That guy told me to sell this to you guys… ”

“Are you going to keep talking nonsense?”

“It’s true! Mi, Mi, trust me!”

Karin had an expression on her face as if she couldn’t believe it, and Serena and Lisa seemed to be thinking the same thing… .

No, isn’t this some kind of perception manipulation magic?

Isn’t there any magic here?

Seeing as how even Lisa doesn’t know, it might be so.

Well, it’s a magic that doesn’t really have anything to do with night games.

What was more suspicious than that was the potion that contained a part of himself.

What on earth is it that has these effects?

“Give me the remaining potion.”

“This, ten thousand goals… .”

thud.

“Here it is!”

I quickly accepted the potion and examined it again.

Does this potion really have that effect?

Suddenly, it occurred to me that this liquid seemed to have some strange viscosity.

…astrology? And white?

I have uneasy thoughts.

“… degree, sympathy discrimination… .”

In a small voice that no one could hear.

I used that magic.

“Ah …

“Ah, Asia! What’s wrong?”

Me, me… I drank cum…!

“… But when I think about it, it’s not a big deal.”

“Huh?”

Doesn’t that happen often?

The anger subsided again quickly.
