Monoko's POV

Recently, Monoe and I went to a medium, who detected that the 'strange feeling' that would occasionally awaken inside me turned out to be a psychic power of some sort.

"Has anything special happened to you in one of your past years?" the medium asked.

"I've been enchanted by an evil sorcerer under the name of 'the Face'" I replied, "I was only just aged seven back then, and I didn't know better. I gained control over the following because of a traffic light, but if you'd like, I can show you my primary – and probably only – consequence of that enchantment." I focused, and gained my three extra arms.

"My, my, I've never seen so many arms on a human like you before."

"And now I feel that psychic power awaken, too! Is it true that I can only use it when I'm in this crazy mode, ma'am?"

"I think that's true." The medium read my aura once again. "I can see that your psychic power enables you to check your surroundings for strange things. I think it's caused by that enchantment by 'the Face' too, young lady."

"For real?!" Monoe and I gasped in unison.

"Now, you should consider it as a positive effect caused by that enchantment, and not to think of it as anything too bad."

"Yes, ma'am" I said.

"Indeed, you should try to use it as much as possible to get used to it, young lady, and write everything down for yourself to remember, too."

"Thank you very much for your time, ma'am" Monoe and I said in unison, "I think we have enough information on this now."

"No problem, and take care."


Monoe's POV

"We should try your powers in the Numbers World first" I suggested, "as the portal to that hallway over there isn't always open, or so it seems. Perhaps you can check it with those powers?"

The both of us stood in front of the entry door of the Numbers World.

Monoko got into her crazy mode and closed her eyes, presumably to focus on the checking of her surroundings. After a while, she turned back to normal.

"It's not accessible" she said, "but I do feel something else coming from where Lila always wanders around."

"I see."

The both of us went to the room with the many beds where Lila, one of our Toriningen friends, always resided.

"Well, a good day to you two!" she greeted us, as she happened to be around as well. "How's life?"

"Pretty good" Monoko and I said in unison.

"What brings you here?"

"I felt something around here" Monoko said, "and now that I'm closer to that spot, let me just check once again." She went into her crazy mode again to check her surroundings.

"Whoa there, kid, what just happened?!"

"Oh, long story" I said to Lila. "When we were both seven, we went to the occasionally accessible hallway in the utmost southeast, and Monoko opened the door to the misenchantment room without listening to my and Kyuukyuu-kun's warnings, and thus, she gained more arms, and, somehow, a psychic ability, too." I turned to Monoko. "Do you know where it came from?"

"I felt something coming from that bed over there" Monoko replied, "and from the door to Lila's homeworld."

"No, you definitely shouldn't visit my homeworld. Remember how everyone there is lunatic whenever they're awake? Nana, Mimo and I, as well as a few others, should be glad that we're not lunatic the whole time, which is why we're mostly somewhere else during the day." Lila followed us to the bed from which Monoko felt something. "However, you should occasionally get into that bed, because it may just warp you somewhere."

"Ah, so it's the aura to a different world? Mind if you'd go along, Lila?"

"No, thanks, I'm not too interested in it."

"Then, you should definitely go along, Monoe, because twins with a close bond never leave each other's side, right?"

I chuckled, and the two of us got into the bed. Not much later, we landed onto a staircase which was surrounded by dozens of hands.

"Whoa now, where are we even?" I said, in slight shock.

Monoko checked her surroundings once again.

"That new world that Lila mentioned" she replied, "we should go down the stairs, because I feel something coming from over there."

We went quite a long way (including the fact that we had to use an umbrella to summon rain in order to put out a fire), and eventually, we reached a spaceship of some sort. Music played by a trumpet and a piano of some sort came from it, which drew our attention.

"Huh" a blonde girl with a trumpet said, "I never expected more visitors around here." She looked like she was around our age.

"Oh, uh, hi?" Monoko and I said in unison.

"How'd you guys get here?" a tall, young man with googly eyes asked. "I already thought I heard the sound of rain just now…"

"My psychic powers appeared to have sent us here" Monoko said. "I only got to know about them not too long ago. I still have to gain more control over it."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold the phone, did you just mention psychic powers? I happen to be a sorceress, so we were probably destined to meet somehow." The blonde sorceress held up a single index finger, which started to glow, and whispered a spell that none of us understood. "You look like you're trustworthy enough for me. Is that your sister? Same story."

I merely chuckled and smiled.

"We're really sorry for interrupting your music lesson just now" I said, "you guys truly sounded like you were in the middle of it."

"It's okay" the man said, "we were about to wrap it up anyway."

"If you guys ever want to look for me again" the blonde sorceress said, "I live in the Pink Sea… if you know where that's located."

"Promise" Monoko and I said in unison, before we left to go back home.
