MahoAko ch64

Eh~!?

I'm surprised that Imitatio was such a pretty lady!!
I'm sorry... that I couldn't bring it up when we met before...

Don't worry about it!
It's for pulling the wool over Enormeeta's eyes... isn't it!
Y-Yeah...
There are reasons I can't elaborate any further, though... Kh...

...Ah~
So that's why you were puttin' on that cutesy character.
Going "Aha★" and stuff...
Let's not go there, Kaoruko.

But we're here today because Momo-san has something to tell us, right?
It better not be somethin' stupid again.

...

Wah!

What a huge mansion~!!
Momo-chan's house is amazing!

All that money makes Momo even more of a pain.
I don't doubt that.

Excuse me.
This is Tanaka. Is Momo-san here...?
Michiko-sama, yes? We've been expecting you.

Please come on inside.
Look at that fountain!
Eyes up front while ya walk~

Pardon the intrusion.
Lady Momo is waiting up ahead.

Strip away common sense.

Please be bare beyond this point.

Please
be bare...

Eeeh!? Bare!?
Barefoot, Haruka.
Hey, everyone!

[tn (for afterword): The sign reads ここではきものをお脱ぎください. Due to the nature of the は hiragana, it can be interpreted as either "koko de wa kimono wo onugi kudasai" (please remove your clothes here) or "koko de hakimono wo onugi kudasai" (please remove your footwear here). Not a fun wordplay to try and convey in English, I assure you.]

Welcome...
to my humble abode~!!

Okay, I'll bite.
What kinda event is this?
Oh my! This is no event!
Non non.

It's just as the sign says...
Clothes are forbidden in my mansion!
What kind of perverted dumbass mansion is this!?

Okay.
Let's go home.
Let's never come here again.
Please wait~!!

Uuh...
I can't believe I have to wear clothes in my own home. I can't relax like this...
You even strip a little and we're leaving.

So, Momo-san,
you said you had something you wanted to ask us?

Yes.
I wanted to ask Tres Magia about a certain magical girl.

Magia Rouge.
A girl by the name of Ujou Kasumi...

Magia Rouge?
You see,
Rouge was a magical girl I was teamed up with.

Rouge...
Kasumi once worked in this mansion.

That girl
disappeared following Enormeeta's "magical girl hunt"...

The magical girl hunt...
Ya mean Baiser abducted her...!?

No. The magical girl hunt happened under Lord Enorme's leadership.
She's not involved.

Is that so...
This is Kasumi from when she worked here.

She's a total delinquent!!
We can't show this on air!!

Please relax.
Kasumi is over 20 years old!
Eh?
Then what's with the school uniform...?

I forced her to wear it for a photo.
Hah Hah
An adult woman in a school uniform...
Does this mansion have any morals?

Magical "girl"...?
Hah
Haruka.
That line of thinking hurts me too.

Hah...
Sorry, but I ain't got a clue about this Rouge girl.
Is that so...?

Do you know anything, Randa-san?
I don't.
We weren't exactly close or anything.

Let's ask Va-chan too!
We'll search for Kasumi-san too!
You bet.
You guys...

Thank you very much...
Knowing that girl, she's probably just living a carefree life, but...

I'm glad I got to talk to you all about Kasumi.
It's almost noon, so I'll have lunch prepared for us!

rumble...

Please... don't mind us, Momo-san.
I'm starving.
Ehe.
Me too!

rumble...

...Isn't this room kinda hot?
Hmm... Is the heating on?

My apologies. I'm sensitive to the cold...
Hah hah
Just wear warm clothes like a normal person.
Thank you for waiting.

p10

This is our chef's special nabeyaki udon.
Momo!! What the hell are you planning!?

Planning...? You think so badly of me...

rumble...

RUMBLE RUMBLE

I just want to relax with all of you...
!?
What's all this?

If the room's too hot for you...

RUMBLE

feel free to make yourself more comfortable...

What an asshole.

RUMBLE

You bastard... You're stripping?
I warned you that we'd leave if you even stripped a little, didn't I...!?

I can't stand this mansion anymore!!
I'm out of here!!

p11

Wha-...
What the hell is this...!? It wasn't like this on the way here!!
It's a mechanical mansion!!

So that rumbling noise from earlier was...!
What an asshole.

Shit! It's the same here too...!

!?

It won't open...! We're trapped...!
Ah ah...
Ah...
Ah, I'm gonna lose my shit.

Fufu... I wonder if you'll be able...
to escape mansion safe and sound...?

p12

Shit... What's that perverted four-eyes's problem...!?
What's she plannin'...!
It just had to be another damn dungeon...!

Is there a problem,
Kaoruko-sama?
!!

Wha-...!!
This mansion is a wide-stretching labyrinth...
We servants can teach you the wait out.

But only
if you can defeat us in a battle, that is.
If you lose, you will forfeit one piece of clothing.
That is the "law" of this mansion...

So that's yer game, huh...!
We were caught in that pervert's trap from the very start...!

p13

Kh... I was careless...!
I forgot that girl's pervertedness is no different from Baiser's...!
Even though she's a magical girl...

I wonder if everyone's okay...
Randa...!
Don't worry! Randa-chan's got Sayo-chan with her!
And that's supposed to be a relief!?

P-...
Please help me...

!?

Are you alright!?
You're shivering...
Uuh...
Haruka!

p14

This mansion's air conditioning is too cold for me...
I'm freezing...
Wear some damn clothes!!

Maybe I'll have something to wear... in the afterlife...
Haruka! This is clearly a trap!!
Y-Yeah...

I'm not gonna fall for her tricks!
Let's go, Haruka!

...

But...
Michiko-chan,
what if she's telling the truth...?

...!?

p15

If my clothes can warm up this frozen maid...
we can save her...!!

...Ng!!

My word... Such virtue...!
Even in a situation like this, she chooses to save others rather than doubt them...!!

This is a magical girl...!
Hanabishi Haruka... Just like you... I'll also...!!

p16

Hey. Lemme out.
Give Micchan back to me.
Hey.
Calm down, Randa-san!!
Michiko-san will be fine! She has Haruka with her, after all!

I know you're watching, Momo!!
Uh oh. She's seriously pissed.

I-I've thought this before,
but you really care a lot for Michiko-san, huh...
Eh?
Yeah. I love her.

I would die for Micchan's sake.
Ehe.
...

That's amazing...! How about we talk for a little bit?
Could you tell me... about the two of you?
Eh...?

p17

And then
Micchan fell asleep on the sofa.
I slept in her lap too.
Ehe.

Oh my...
All these sweet tales are making me blush too.
Ehehe.
There's more where that came from.

Hey, Sayo.
You have someone... that you like?
Eh?
Me...? I wonder.

Kaoruko likes Haruka, right?
I-I wonder about that too.
You're so obvious, Kaoruko...

I see... But now I understand the reason you care so much for Michiko-san, Randa-san...
The reason why you get seriously angry for her...

Sayo?

p18

Sayo.

Why are you
removing the bottoms first?

You're watching, aren't you, Momo-san!!
I'm about to get stark naked!!
So please tell us how to get out of this place!!
Eeh...?

Now, please join me, Randa-san!
No way.

p19

Don't worry. If you strip with confidence, there's nothing to be ashamed about!
I'm not ashamed or anything.
I just don't like Momo getting her way.

That's not it.
I'm not doing this for Momo-san...
Eh?

It's so you can see Michiko-san again...
It's to support your love!!
It's a strip of love!!
Huh?

Go on, Randa-san!
Eh?

Go on!
Go on!!
Eh?
Ah
Eh
Ah
Au
Go on!
Go on, go on!!

p20

Hah...
Hah...
Hah... Hah...

Ron.
That's a 32,000 tobi.
...Nnng!!

FUCK...!!
Fine!! Take it!!
Much appreciated.

Bring on the next game! Don't care what it is, I'll bet it all!!
Indeed... But first, I have a question for you, Kaoruko-sama.
Huuh!?

p21

This battle with us
should have no merit for you, Kaoruko-sama.

And yet you face us without running away...
even when you keep on losing.
...

This may not be my place to speak,
but for what reason do you go along with Lady Momo's game...
that goes against all common sense?
So yer aware it goes against common sense, huh?

...

That...
should be obvious...

p22

Once someone throws down a challenge...
there's no backin' out of it!!

If we run, it's all over!!
No matter how many times we lose, we'll win in the end!!
That's how we magical girls roll!!

...I see.
That's quite noble of you.

Interesting.
I feel like taking you on in a real battle now.

p23

Strip Janken.

If you win, Kaoruko-sama, I'll return all your clothing...
If you lose, I'll take your last piece... Are you ready...?

Hah...
Bring it on...!

Since it's the strip version...
we need to do it like this...

Out...!
Safe...!

Ready...

p24

Go!!

Oh.
That was a narrow escape, Kaoruko-sama.
Hah...
That's my line...!

Ready...!

Last time was a draw with scissors...!
Will the next be rock or paper...! Wait, it could be scissors again...!

Go!!

p25

Fufu... It appears I was trying too hard too.
Haha... This is wearing on my shoulders...

Now then.
Next one.

I know... This next one will clinch it...

Kaoruko-sama.
Huh?

p26

If we had met under different circumstances,
maybe we could've been friends.

...!

...Hah.
Maybe.

p27

...Kaoruko's the only one left.

Don't worry...
I'm sure Kaoruko-chan will be...!

Daaah!!

Kaoruko!
Kaoruko-chan!

p28

Haah
Haah...

p30

Wait, we're all naked!?

R.I.P. Momo's Grave

Milady...

All according to Momo's scenario...
