When in Trouble, Play Bunny!

Charlotte

What we're trying to say is...

Charlotte

We're not anyone suspicious!

*Thwack!*

Guard B

Aaargh!

*Thud*

Charlotte poured her indignation into a roundhouse kick, and the guards went down one after another.

For someone who looked so wronged, she'd delivered a surprisingly powerful blow.

Charlotte

...

Charlotte

Um... Why aren't they getting up?

Frey

Looks like you knocked them out.

Charlotte

Huh?! So they're unconscious?

Charlotte

I-I never meant to go that far...! What are we going to do?!

Frey

Calm down. Right now, our best move is to avoid drawing attention.

Frey

Let's start by... quickly tying the guards up and hiding them in the break room.

Charlotte

I'm so sorry! This outfit is so much more uncomfortable than what I normally wear. I couldn't control my strength!

To be fair, this was more than I'd bargained for...

But without her, we might have found ourselves in another dangerously close chase.

No worries. That worked in our favor.

Charlotte

Ngh, th-this outfit... Something about it feels wrong...!

Charlotte

I feel a little weaker in it... Like I can't quite get fired up...!

Frey

It's because you're making yourself small out of embarrassment! Just make big movements like you normally do!

Charlotte

B-But if I move around the way I normally would...

Charlotte

I could end up f-flashing the Captain, you know!

...It's fine. Don't mind me. That's what I thought.

But those words never made it past my lips.

Frey

No time to worry about flashing anyone! Just get moving!

...Good going, Frey.

The remaining problem? A man with two bunny girls was enough to attract suspicion.

Charlotte

Even after getting changed, we still have to keep out of sight...

At least the guests won't know who we are.

Let's watch ourselves as we go.

Charlotte

Still...

Charlotte

There aren't as many guards around as I feared...?

Guard

What I wouldn't give for some... *Mumble*

Charlotte

What?! What was that?!

Guard

*Mumble*... ●●● is all I need...

Charlotte

What the...

Charlotte

Something's wrong with that person. Why mutter at the wall...?

Frey

Well, at least he doesn't seem to be paying us much attention.

We'd better head back the way we came. Quietly.

Even after that...

Charlotte

There's another guard right there!

Frey

...That one looks to be in pretty bad shape, too.

Frey

First-class service, third-class working conditions, apparently.

...Let's just steer clear for now.

We spent some time like that, repeatedly dodging the guards roaming the club.

After taking one turn after another through the hallway...

Frey

...It's a door.

We stood before a large door, firmly shut.

Charlotte

I wonder what's on the other side.

We had no idea what lay beyond it. Just as I was about to suggest turning back...

Guard

I could really use some ●●●... Really, I really... *Mumble*

Charlotte

G-Guards! They're getting closer...!

In front of us loomed a heavy door that led who knew where...

From behind came the voices of the guards, leaving us little time to decide.

...Inside, now!

*Ka-chunk*

As I shoved the door open, a heavy metallic groan rang out through the dark.

Little by little, the door eased open onto a darkness that concealed whatever lay ahead.

Charlotte

...!

What greeted us was a huge stage adorned with elaborate decorations.
