As the monitor switched off, Rin stared in awe. As amusing as some of that scenario was, she couldn't helped but be disturbed by the contents. "How . . . awkward." She thought. Luckily for her, no one was around right then.


Caren Ortensia was making her way to Rin's study of sorts. She was wearing her battle uniform, the one that shows off her figure without exposing any skin. She approached the door and knocked. Rin answered, "Caren?" She asked. "How did you find me?"

"I asked around." Caren answered in a monotone. "I was told you had a fun machine. May I try it?"

"Sure. Come on in."

Caren observed the room. She then found the device, "Is this it?"

Rin answered, "Uh huh. But how is everyone finding out about this machine? I haven't told anyone about it." You haven't, anyway, mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm! Whatever was Kohaku doing?

Caren said, "I heard it through the grapevine, as is said in the Anglosphere." She looked at the machine more closely, "So how does this work?"

Rin replied, "You simply tell it what you want to see."

Caren then asked, "I want to keep my idea a secret but still play it out. You think if I whisper into it, it'll accept my idea?"

Rin went, "Hmm? I never thought of that. Maybe it would. Yeah, then, whatever scenario you have will be a complete surprise for me! Yes, try it!"

Caren whispered something into the device. She backed away to get a better view. It flickered on while she and Rin watched.

[Author's Note: Oh~, what could the next what-if scenario be about? That's for you to find out! . . . when I finish the first part, that is. Until then, have fun trying to guess what I could possibly be cooking up next.]
