"You are not going to teleport me naked in the middle of nowhere, you are not going to steal my underwear and leave my skirt permanently raised, you will not mess this up! You will not!" Nepgear whisper-yelled to her invention as she hid behind the curtain. It was her last one of the day, and she wanted it to go well. She wasn't expecting to be talking to her invention today, but it was the only thing that would make her feel better about the situation. She just wanted to present an invention, and go home.

She peeked through the curtain. The crowd had grown quite a lot, due to people hearing about the sorts of things she'd been experiencing, but even so, that was great. It just meant more people to see her inventions. She just hoped beyond hope that things would go smoothly, so she wouldn't end up...exposed in front of so many people.

Going back in, she took some deep breaths to steady herself as she continued to glare at the machine. Once she was as prepared as she thought she'd be able to get, she opened the curtain, and immediately felt many, many eyes on her.

"H-hi!" she said as enthusiastically as she could. She took a second to clear her throat and calm her shaky voice once more. "This is my last invention of the day." At that, she heard some 'awws' from the crowd. At this point, she was too nervous to remember exactly what her lines were, so she was just trying to go with whatever sounded right. "This is a teleporter. I'm sure I don't need to explain what it does, but there is something else I need to explain. Unlike the ones in dungeons, this model is designed for more recreational, public use, such as helping to get kids to school, or adults to their jobs." As she continued, her confidence slowly started to return. "Now, in its first stages, it'll need to be fairly heavily regulated, but I'm sure the help it'll bring will outweigh those regulations, until they become more widespread and fleshed out." She took a moment to let the crowd whisper amongst themselves for a bit before continuing.

"It is designed to transport both organic and inorganic material." She exaggerated that last part a little harshly, almost like she was reminding the machine that it was able to transport clothes as well. "Now, I've done rigorous tests to make sure it is safe, until I got a 100% guarantee. To demonstrate, I'll be using it myself." The crowd visibly tensed, likely waiting for it to somehow go wrong and leave her in a predicament they wanted to see.

With a gulp, she stepped onto the teleporter. This first edition model consisted of two pads, set a couple feet apart. At first, they only worked when connected by wires, but, knowing that would be inefficient, she reworked it over and over until she was able to get it to work wirelessly. Attached to each pad was a small screen that allowed you to select where to go.

"The maximum distance I could manage on the first model was about half a mile," Nepgear told the crowd as she booted up the system. "I know how to increase the distance to a full mile, but for now, this'll work. I wanted to make sure it was ready for the Fair after all." Now that it was on, she selected the second pod as her destination. As she hit the buttons, her nervousness was beginning to return. But she didn't let it stop her. "Alright, here we go." With the crowd watching her eagerly, she hit the button, and everything went black. For Nepgear, all she experienced was a dark, calm nothingness for a moment. For the crowd, they saw Nepgear appear to turn to dust and vanish for a split second before reappearing almost instantly on the other pod.

Nepgear was afraid to open her eyes, but when she didn't hear any strange reaction from the crowd, she finally peeked. She was hit with a wave of relief as she saw that her clothes, from her hair clip to her underwear, were all still there.

"S-see?" she said. She got many oohs and aahhhs, but also a couple of sad and disappointed expressions. She felt a strange giggle building as she was filled with happiness that it had worked. In fact… "I'm gonna test it again!" she said, and selected her destination again. She hit the button, and teleported once more, reappearing on the other pad.

"See? Works perfectly fine!" Nepgear said, smiling. Her smile quickly faded though, as she saw the expressions of the crowd vary between horror, joy, and confusion. Nepgear gulped and slowly looked down. She screeched as she fell to her knees, covering up her once again naked body. "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!" she screamed. She looked around when she noticed scraps of fabric falling around her. This didn't make sense! It had worked over the hundreds or times she had tested it, so why, WHY now of all times was it doing this?!

Before she could say or do anything else, the teleporter booted up again. That confused Nepgear for a moment, as she knew she hadn't input anything else, and she suddenly vanished again. Although this time when she appeared again, somehow the scraps had coiled together and were now wrapped around her, binding her. She was lying on the floor with her hands and legs bound. She tried to get free, but only succeeded in wriggling around like a worm. A crowd of guys rushed forward to get a closer look, stopping at only a few feet from her.

"S-somebody help! Preferably someone female!" Nepgear cried. A few girls in the crowd tried to reach her, but were unable to get past the blockade of guys drooling over her. Suddenly, the teleporter activated again, and she vanished once more. This time, when she reappeared, pieces were wrapped tightly around her breasts, squeezing them and causing them to be more pronounced.

"Whyyyyyyy?!" Nepgear cried out. As she struggled, a guy in the crowd stared at her more intently than the others.

"I'm going for it!" he suddenly shouted, and burst through to Nepgear. Before she could react, he placed his hands on her breasts, and started to squeeze.

"Ahhh!" she cried out. She couldn't believe this! A stranger was groping her! People in the crowd ran to get help as the remaining people inched closer. The guy continued to squeeze her chest, and she couldn't help but moan at the feeling. "S-stop!" she desperately pleaded, but to no avail. Her body shook from a mixture of fear, arousal, and embarrassment. Suddenly, the teleporter activated once more, and the man stepped back as she vanished again. It only continued to get worse, as when she reappeared, the binds were tied in such a way that he legs were spread open wide, allowing everyone to see her nether regions in all their glory.

"NOOOOOOOO!" she cried as she continued to struggle uselessly. The guy quickly rushed forward again, and got up close, staring at her pussy. Nepgear wailed in embarrassment. That embarrassment turned to horror as the man reached out and used his fingers to spread her lower lips, giving everyone an even better view. Now not only was someone touching her most sacred place, but they were spreading her lips for everyone to see!

"I can see...everything…" the man said in wonder. Nepgear could see a clear bulge in his pants, one that was twitching. "I-I want to…"

Nepgear stared in horror. Surely he wasn't going to…

She had one last card to play. She drew in a deep breath, and yelled as loud as she could.

"IF YOU TOUCH ME, AS THE CPU CANDIDATE, I WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET ARRESTED!" she screamed. Thankfully, it was enough to get everyone, including the man touching her, to back off. It was just in time, too, as people who left returned with security guards, who swiftly pulled the crowd away as they helped untie the helpless candidate. They also gave her a blanket to wrap around herself. As the crowd was ushered away, she was quickly led out of the building by a team of guards.

"Are you alright?" asked one.

"Y-yes, thank you so, so much." Nepgear answered, trying to hold back sobs.

"We'll escort you back to the Basilicom." he said, and she nodded. She'd need to go back to get her stuff, but that would have to wait.

Plus, she had something else to deal with…


"HEY!"

Nepgear shouted into the darkness of the cave. "I KNOW YOU'RE THERE! SHOW YOURSELF!" She wasn't used to shouting so angrily, it was starting to hurt her throat. She stood there waiting until it finally showed up. When it appeared, Nepgear immediately felt an intense feeling of anxiety as its dark tentacles swirled around its massive eye.

"That was quite entertaining to watch." it said smugly, and Nepgear growled.

"How could you do that?!" Nepgear demanded. "That was so important to me, and you ruined it!" The being only laughed.

"I'm surprised you'd think I'd actually tell you why." it said.

"Why don't you just fight me instead of ruining important stuff like that?!" Nepgear asked. She wasn't usually one to start a fight, but this thing had gone too far with the Invention Fair. It was like a holiday to her, and he ruined it. It simply stared at her.

"Are you serious?" it asked incredulously. Nepgear couldn't tell if it was being sarcastic or not.

"Yes!" she answered, and right after she spoke, the eye was suddenly right in her face. This time though, she didn't flinch.

"You...wish to defy me?" it asked, its mocking tone gone, replaced by one of seriousness.

"Y-yes!" nepgear answered, a little less confidently. It stared at her in silence, and she stared back, though she felt a nervous itch creeping up her body.

"Fine." it finally said as it floated away. "I will not fight you; that would be no fun." it said, and Nepgear's anger started to build. But, before she could speak, it spoke first. "But don't think you can just defy me."

"I-I didn't really-" Nepgear tried to take it back, but she felt herself being lifted off the ground, raised to once again be positioned right in front of the being. She felt like a muzzle had been placed over her mouth.

"It seems I'm not done with you yet." it said, and simply stared at her once more. "Now, go." it said, and she flew back through the cave, and was thrown onto the grass outside. As soon as she felt herself become free again, she rushed back towards the entrance, but simply bounced off an invisible wall onto the ground. She stood back up, and glared at the entrance. She sighed, and turned, walking back home dejectedly.

She was definitely going to regret that…


The being floated there, staring out at the cave in silence. Now, what should it do?

It was then that it remembered that other girl. "Yes…" it spoke, then laughed. "Yes, I know exactly what I shall do…"

And with that, it disappeared once more.

My Lady...

You may rise.

Thank you.

How is it going with the Goddesses?

Fairly well, I'd say. Though I hope the "fans" aren't too upset about the delay.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

My Lady, if I may ask, how far are we? How much power have you built?

Not enough yet, but we're definitely making progress, and it's all thanks to you, my dear friend.

Thank you for your kind words, My Lady.

Now then, how about the scenario with the blonde one? That warrior you gave the body swapping power to?

I was planning on continuing with that soon, actually.

Perfect. Now then, what shall you do next?

I have actually already created and recorded a scenario in a universe we haven't touched yet, My Lady.

Oh? Please enlighten me.

It concerns the a girl by the name of Chise Hatori, My Lady.

Ah, yes, I know that one. So it is already done?

Yes, I should be able to finalize it and present it to you soon, My Lady.

So it shall be the next one after this "chapter" goes up?

If all goes according to plan, which is almost guaranteed.

Good...good...

...

...

My Lady?

Yes?

Forgive me, but are you alright?

Yes, I'm just...oh, it's nothing you need to concern yourself with.

If you are sure. Please do remember I am always here for you.

I know. You are dismissed.

Thank you, My Lady...

Hmmm...perhaps...
