Mia's eyelids flutter open as she regains consciousness. Bright light assails her eyes and she squints, covering her face with her arm. An arm that's… Stiff. Briefly, plastic tubing grazes against her shoulder, and Mia winces as the movement jars the IV tube plugged into her right wrist.

"Wha…" The Magical Girl grumbles as she reopens her eyes slowly, letting them adjust to the bright room. The bright, sterile, boring hospital room. About as sterile and boring as all hospital rooms throughout modern history have been. A flat screen television's mounted to the ceiling, a ceiling the same inoffensive beige shade as the wall. The same shade as the bland, inoffensive seats that line the wall.

Mia gazes with some befuddlement at the medical equipment beeping off to the side, tugs at the diodes that connect her heart monitor to her chest, ghosting her fingers across the thin fabric of the patient's gown she's wearing instead of her regular nightie.

"… Am I in the hospital?" Mia finds herself asking, thoroughly confused by all of… Well, this. The brainy girl thinks for a long moment, trying to remember how she got here…

And much to a surprise, she's just drawing a total blank. There's an empty spot in her nigh-photographic memory. A gap. An infuriating expanse of emptiness.

Impossible, Mia scoffs, because Mia's Luminous Libromancer. Terminus City's foremost expert in arcane knowledge. Mia graduated with two degrees from Munich at the top of her class. Mia's memorized 56,473 grimoires worth of cantrips, enchantments, and basic spells she can cast in her sleep because of her genius and her prodigious memory.

So why, then, is there a gap in Mia's memory?

"Blood and darkness, this is infuriating," Mia grumbles as she begins to backtrack, going over everything that happened before she wound up in the hospital, feeling like she got run over by a truck. Because truly, Mia feels awful right now. Her head's throbbing, she's clearly running a fever based on how she can feel a bit of congestion beginning to clog her sinuses.

The last thing Mia remembers… What's the last thing Mia remembers?

"I clearly called my test subject to my tower. I'd clearly had her prepared for… Something. I went to go fetch one of my more potent grimoires so I could try… Something on her? And then there was an… An explosion?"

It's infuriating how fuzzy these memories are, almost like they've somehow been transplanted into Mia's brain. But that can't be it. After all, Mia would certainly know if mental magic's been performed on her. In fact, she already checked once she woke up, didn't she?

Mia must've suffered from a concussion or head trauma then. It'd certainly explain the throbbing headache and the nasty bruises that have formed on the back of Mia's head. Yes, that has to be what happened…

… Right?

It's at that moment that the door to Mia's hospital room slams against the wall, kicked open by a dainty girl's foot.

"Hey, hey! I guess you're up! How are you feeling, are you feeling better now?"

In struts what Mia has to assume is her nurse… Even though she doesn't look anything like a proper nurse. Not one bit.

No self-respecting nurse would be caught wearing this – this lewd, lewd outfit. Mia actually feels her face flush at the sheer, wanton sluttiness of what this pink-haired girl is wearing. The combination of fishnet stockings that go all the way up her long, shapely legs, and that tight corset that emphasizes this pink-haired girl's slender waist and wide hips…

Darkness and blood, whoever this girl is, she's sex on legs. Lovely, shapely legs, attached to a plump, perfect ass. That ass. And those breasts. Those tantalizingly full breasts, covered only by the nurse's black leather bra…

A spot of warm liquid drips from the tip of Mia's nose, staining the front of her gown crimson, and Mia realizes that she's suddenly developed a nosebleed.

"Ooh, you like my outfit? That's totally fine, miss Mia, feel free to stare away as much as you'd like~!" The strange girl giggles, bringing her hand up to her mouth.

"… Where am I?"

"A clinic operated by Kintsugi Biotech, silly. You… Do you know how you got here?" Mia's 'nurse' asks, her heels clicking against the linoleum floor as she approaches Mia's bed. Involuntarily, Mia's gaze lowers, fixating upon her nurse's legs, the way her seductive gait makes her hips and ass sway hypnotically…

Mia swallows, her throat suddenly feeling dry.

"… No, I have no idea how I got here."

"Well, we actually had to drag you in from the street. You fell out of a portal in the sky, it was the strangest thing we'd ever seen!"

"… A portal in the sky?" So. Mia's failsafe must've triggered then. In the event of an explosion, a breach of containment, or some other unexplained phenomena, Libromancer's Libram was designed to eject its occupants to a predetermined safe location. Something like that must've happened, for Mia to be here, talking to some ridiculously hot mortal nurse. Except…

"I'm not at Steele Tower," Mia says dully. If Mia's failsafe did go off, they were set to drop her off at Steele's ridiculous tower. If that's not the case, then something else happened. Some kind of unexplained interaction when Mia was conducting her experiments? Well, stranger things have happened before…

"… Yes, you're not at Steele Tower," the nurse bites her lip, reaching in now to lay a hand on top of Mia's forehead, and Mia finds herself flinching at how nice and soft her hand feels, at how wonderful her perfume smells…

… That and the fact that the nurse's breasts are currently grazing right against Mia's arm, two pleasantly warm mounds that cradle Mia's shoulder perfectly.

"Are you feeling alright? I've got aspirin, and some other headache pills…" The nurse reaches for the tray of medicine she'd brought in with her.

"I – I'm alright," Mia coughs, hemming and hawing to cover up the sheer… Befuddlement she's feeling right now. It wouldn't do for Terminus City's genius archmage to look flustered in front of some – some floozy. "… Who are you?"

"Me? I'm Alice!" Alice beams. "Alice Takanashi, CEO of Kintsugi Biotech. Nice to meet you!"

Alice Takanashi… Kintsugi Biotech…

Names that sound familiar. Where did Mia hear…

Ah yes. That's right. It was an article Mia read about upcoming tech companies in Terminus City. Something about a cure for cyber-psychosis apparently being developed by this new biotech firm, by a credible genius in her own field. And Steele also mentioned her on occasion, from what Mia remembers. Something about this girl being…

Being Infinity Princess' girlfriend?

… Interesting…

"What's the CEO of the company doing seeing a patient?" Mia arches an eyebrow imperiously, doing her best to maintain her traditional aloof attitude. And desperately trying to ignore the way her crotch's become so hot and wet, this girl's seriously just too cute, for some reason, she's right in Mia's strike zone, and her obscene outfit is just…

… Just sort of short-circuiting Mia's mind right now.

But it's only natural, isn't it? After all, girls who look like Alice, pink-haired devilishly cute girls with full figures? That's always been Mia's type, hasn't it? And Steele mentioned this is Kaina's girlfriend?

To Mia's surprise, jealousy lances through her heart upon that thought.

... No. There's no way Kaina's dating someone this... This delicious. Mia can scarcely believe it. Mia's got to be thinking about another Alice; that has to be the case. She must be mistaken somewhere.

"I just happened to be in the neighborhood, and you're an unusual patient, lady. You fell out of the flipping sky!" Alice waves her hands around in the air energetically. The movement does wonderful things to her breasts. Mia watches, not even bothering to hide her interest, as Alice jiggles and bounces on the balls of her feet. "The sky! That's definitely not normal, of course I'd check that out!"

"I see," Mia purses her lips. Well, all of this sounds… Annoyingly plausible, if there really was an experiment Mia was performing that went sour. There's one thing that's nagging at her, though…

"Did another girl fall out of the sky with me?" Mia asks, thinking of her cute test subject now, Evelyn Parker.

"No? You were the only one we picked up?" Alice asks, looking adorably confused.

"… Never mind then," Mia sighs. So, either Evelyn Parker was dropped somewhere else…

Or, more likely, she disappeared in whatever incident caused Mia's sudden memory loss. Such a shame, that. Evelyn was so cute, so lovely and pliable. And there was such a fascinating mystery surrounding her.

It's really a shame that Mia's got another mystery to uncover now, figuring out exactly what just happened to her. Luckily for Mia, though…

"I appear to have lost my memory of this… Incident. I want to get it back, and I'm willing to pay for your company's services if you can help me get my memory back," Mia enunciates, taking advantage of the convenient opportunity just in front of her.

"… Eh? I mean, that's probably just the head trauma? It looked like you took a lot of nasty bumps to the head before we brought you in…" Alice says.

"I'll need you to put me through a sleep study, hypnosis is a possibility-" Mia rattles off, uncaring of the way Alice is protesting.

"Hold on, hold on, isn't this a little much? What're you asking for right now, sheesh!" Alice huffs, puffing out her cheeks. "Just lie down and stop worrying so much about this, focus on getting better first you silly-billy!"

"Fine," Mia rolls her eyes, deciding to let this particular matter lie. For now. Although, isn't it a little strange that she's decided to trust Alice like this and ask her to-

It's not strange at all. It's fine, isn't it? Alice looks like a trustworthy figure and certainly seems nice from what Mia can see. A more unscrupulous individual would probably take advantage of Mia's compromised state to do all sorts of terrible things to her, so she can't be too bad.

"Lemme check your breathing real quickly, and then I'll let you rest. Holler if you need anything though, okay?"

"Okay – Wait. Wait, wait," Mia blinks. "Wait. I have more questions."

"Ask away~!"

"… Why's the CEO of the company acting like a… A nurse? And why are you wearing… That?" Mia asks.

"I was bored!" Alice exclaims cheerfully. "And that's my answer to both of those questions. This is a nice break from the silly, fuddy-duddy things I typically have to do. And this outfit's totally cute, so it makes me feel happy!" Alice strikes a childish now, baring her fingers like they're claws. "Look, I'm totally a sexy succubus. Don't I look great!"

'Yes,' Mia's tempted to reply, but thankfully she manages to hold her tongue. Instead, she chooses to face-palm. This girl…

… She's a lewder, peppier version of Steele, isn't she?

"… Last question. How did you know my name-"

"We tested your DNA and requisitioned your medical records from when you attended college in Munich," Alice replies casually. "And I read your name off of your chart just now~!"

"…" Mia squints. "That's standard practice?"

"Sure is!"

"… Fair enough. I'll just… Lie back and rest now. You can go," Mia waves her nurse away.

"Alrighty. Bye, have a great rest. I'll come back and we can talk about all that complicated business stuff later, okay?"

"… Okay."

"Yay!"

And like that, Alice Takanashi leaves. And Mia watches her leave, her eyes glued to Alice's ass. That gorgeous ass that's only just covered by the ridiculously skimpy leather outfit she's wearing, an outfit that conforms to every sinful curve of her body.

… Well. Today's been a bit of a setback for Mia. She's lost her test subject, and she's lost a whole handful of her memories. But it might be that Mia's just found a new mystery to start obsessing over; trying to figure out exactly what happened to her.

Of course, to explore this new mystery, Mia's probably going to have to break out the grimoires. Specifically, the ones that relate to… Certain things that can give a girl some much-needed stimuli. Because certain sensations enhance recall, don't they? Why, Mia has a whole library full of books that can let her summon tentacles, tentacles that can apply that… Sensation.

Involuntarily, Mia's mind conjures up an image of Alice wrapped in tentacles. The phantom sound of Alice's sweet voice letting out lewd cries as she's molested enters Mia's ears, and Mia licks her lips at the decadent fantasy she's concocted.

And perhaps… Perhaps a certain CEO's also available for… Experimentation? Mia quite likes the idea of being able to 'experiment' on Alice for some reason. Or maybe Mia should have Alice examine her. There are all sorts of intimate… Tests that Mia needs to have performed, after all.

Even though today was a setback, the future promises to be quite promising for Mia Cabalis. As soon as she gets out of this hospital bed and talks to Alice, she'll work on these new avenues of research!

Right after Mia eats something healthier than she's used to, like maybe a salad. After all, it wouldn't do for her genius mind to start decaying because of malnutrition.

… And maybe Mia should also look into getting a more revealing nightgown. Her current gown covers up too much of Mia's body, and it's getting rather itchy…

--

You're Alice Takanashi.

And you're currently patting yourself on the back for a job well done!

"Lupe, Lupe, wasn't I a sexy nurse?" You ask your long-suffering adjutant, who looks resigned as you bounce around the corridor. Literally, your boobs are getting pretty jiggly~!

"Yes, you were, mistress," Lupe drones.

"I was the sexiest nurse, wasn't I?" You giggle.

"Miss Cabalis couldn't take her eyes off of you."

"Hee~!" You blush. Ah, the joy of being objectified by the girl you like. You saw how Mia was eye-fucking you all throughout that little conversation. Kyah~! So blatant. You sort of wanted to strip down there so she could have her way with you without all these silly secret identities getting in the way…

But you can save that for later, after you've tinkered with her brain and her base drives some more. You sort of want to get to know Mia a bit more before jumping right back into the wanton debauchery. It was fine when you had your BDSM sessions with her under the guise of research but now?

Now you can get close to her, and she won't even question a thing~!

"Alright, Lupe, are the preparations ready for our next vict – er, I mean next guest?" You ask, letting Lupe lead you to the appropriate conference room in this clinic where the mother of your next pet's waiting.

"Almost, mistress. We just need you to finalize a few things…"

"Say no more," you hold up a finger, stopping Lupe, then kick open the conference room door so you can greet its occupant. "Hey, hey~! It's my favorite mommy~! How are you doing~?"

Julia Kennedy, Sierra Kennedy's youthful mother, perks up upon watching you enter. The adorable MILF staggers to her feet and positively launchers herself at you.

"Mistress~!" Julia mewls, hugging your waist even as she rubs her buxom body across your legs like the good pet she's become. "Mistress, I missed you~!"

"Aw!" You smile fondly, reaching down to pat Julia's head. "I missed you too. Did you behave, when I was away?"

"Yes…"

"Good pet," you continue patting this ripe, luscious mommy's head, relishing in how messed up and needy her expression is, in how her pupils have dilated as she succumbs to the rush of happy endorphins that flooded her fried mind.

It didn't take you too long to break Julia to your liking after she came to you. That hypnotic suggestion you'd implanted was superb, it got her to offer herself up to you on a platter under the guise of looking for a job. And here she is, now. Broken and reforged to your liking, for the most part. You've house-trained her well.

And it only took the better part of a day to do that! A day spent in the tentacle pits, watching them fuck this adorable pet until her brains practically spilled out of her ears~!

All so you can have a cute mommy with milky boobs you can dote over and snuggle!

Of course you're not done with Julia or her family quite yet. It's not just that you want to modify her some, maybe give her daughter a few sisters to snuggle…

No, you're aiming for the mommy/daughter combo here. You've got to complete your set, after all. There were three junior Magical Girls in Terminus City when you first came here. You've acquired two of them now. Heavenly Testament, Naomi? She's your masochistic healslut, one of your better bedwarmers. And Sveta and Kisha? Another sister pair to add to your collection!

You're two for three right now. And you'd prefer for that figure to be three for three.

Of course, to commemorate the completion of your collection? You're planning on making Sierra, Crimson Champion's fall, a grand affair. A gauntlet of sorts, where the noble protector of Terminus City struggles through a series of challenges designed to put her to the test!

A series of challenges designed to break her. To erase her morality, to destroy her sense of shame and pride. You want to see this tempestuous girl ruined, forced to embrace her girly side, forced to wallow in shame and depravity so that afterward?

Afterward, you can pick her up, polish her, and turn her into your dress-up dolly~!

Ooh, you can't wait to put the capstone onto Sierra's corruption and really finish corrupting this cute girly-girl who gets so embarrassed about wanting to be cute and girly. You've even got the perfect hostage to get her running over to this wonderful trial you've set up!

It's really like you're giving yourself an early birthday present! Gosh, you're going to have so much fun with this…!

The only question now is…

What challenges do you have in store for this poor, sheltered, naive Magical Girl?

--

I talked about this earlier. We're basically setting up a predicament bondage/hostage situation sort of thing. The gist is that Alice's taken Sierra's mother 'hostage', and Sierra's going to have to go through the obstacles Alice's set up to try to get her back.

Of course, these obstacles are going to be lewd 'n shit.
