[ The screen shows a refined, elegant young lady having tea. She takes one sip before smiling pleasantly. ]

Greetings, one and all. For those who I've yet to meet, my name is Maribelle. A pleasure, I'm sure. I promise not to take up too much of your time today - rather, I have a small, fun little "quest" of my own to offer everyone.

[ Her manner and voice sound as calm as a gentle breeze... but the look in her eyes is bone-chillingly cold. The snow outside has nothing on them. ]

There is a man here called Toshirou Hijikata. If you don't know the name, he's a human with short black hair and typically wears a commander's uniform. What I would like is a photo of him... wearing a humiliating outfit. I want his soul being destroyed in the expression. I want every single last trace of dignity he has left utterly vanquished. And I'm willing to pay extra for every additional photo taken. I'll start with one hundred G, but I'm also open to negotiation.

[ She then moves the phone, to show various magical items on the table - Magic Mask, Enchanted Pink Calcite, and Mirror Mirror. ]

If a monetary factor isn't in your interest, I'd be willing to be part with any of these.

[ Another silent sip of tea. Her smile never vanishes. ]

Now, before I send you on your merry way, no doubt someone is going to ask me why I'm requesting this, so I may as well get it over with. Last month, some of us wound up unwillingly switching bodies. Hijikata and I were such victims. While I was in his body, I remained inside and inconspicuous, so as to not damage his reputation or allow any misunderstandings to follow him once we retuned to normal.

As for him?

He decided to parade my body in a revealing outfit in a shady nightclub while plunging items into my bosom.

[ SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIP. ]

Happy hunting.

I'm afraid, due to my realm's lack of such technology, I didn't know how to make this more private.

So, pity as it is, he'll just have to live in fear this entire month.

[resistetmords]

That is a shame, but now his guard will be up around me during our duties as Knights!

It will be difficult to find an opening... But...! I will do my best for you, Maribelle~! I already thought of a few ideas since our dance. How does turning him into a bunny sound?

[troubadamsel]

I do encourage creativity. But how pitiful that he has absolutely no one he can trust now. My heart weeps.

[ Yes, that's a face that says she's upset. Mmm. ]

[resistetmords]

[Maribelle you little devil~! She loves it.

John Tucker Hijikata Must Die.]

It's horrible, isn't it? Who knows what might be put into his drink. Goodness just what sort of creative punishments could someone think of~?

Maybe some replacing all his clothes with cabaret outfits.

[troubadamsel]

Particularly skimpy ones. After all, we've learned he has no problems exposing as much flesh as possible.

[resistetmords]

They're all skimpy! We should go shopping later~. I just so happen to have an idea on his sizes.

I think he might look good in some lace.

[troubadamsel]

Blue would really bring out his eyes. And emphasizes the hot red embarrassment on his cheeks.

[resistetmords]

A light blue perhaps? It would help bring out his body's natural colors more. Depending on how bright he gets.

[troubadamsel]

Let's plan for the brighter, the better.

[resistetmords]

Let's go find the most embarrassing thing we can! Are you free now?

[troubadamsel]

Give me an hour or two. I'd like to go through all these kind responses, in case anyone has any questions or hesitations.

[resistetmords]

Of course, have fun~! It's always nice to see so many kind people willing to help out a lady!

[troubadamsel]

Indeed, I feel so truly blessed by them all.
