6. The Organization’s Conspiracy?

Magiluka was restless. When she’d agreed to go shopping with Mary in the royal capital, she’d expected Tutte to be tagging along and for the two of them to not be completely alone...yet Mary surprised her by showing up without her maid, causing Magiluka to be all too conscious of the fact it was just the two of them together.

Incidentally, Mary was still wearing her cape that hid her clothes—naturally, Magiluka was uneasy about her friend’s attire, yet she also couldn’t help but be curious about it too.

“H-How unusual for you to be walking around without Tutte,” Magiluka managed to say, unable to think of any other topic.

“Ugh...” Mary replied, looking a little troubled as though her friend had touched upon a sore topic. She gazed into the distance. “W-Well... I’m keeping this side of me hidden from her.”

Magiluka regretted her thoughtlessness as she saw the lonely look on Mary’s face. At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel happy that her friend had confided in her a secret that even Tutte wasn’t privy to.

“Grrr... If she’d been reflected with us during that time, I could’ve...” Mary muttered with frustration as she chewed on the nail of her thumb.

“Pardon?” Magiluka asked, unable to make out Mary’s mumbling.

“Oh, nothing! I’m just thinking out loud.”

“I-I see... Um, and what was it you wanted to shop for, Lady Mary?”

“Right! I want something that sends shivers of excitement to my soul!”

“Your soul? Whatever do you mean?”

“Uhhh... You know, a magical girl kind of thing! You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? For sure!”

“R-Right... I-In any case, why don’t we go visit stores that you’re familiar with, Lady Mary?” Magiluka had no idea what Mary was so excited to seek out, so she could only offer this half-hearted advice to move things along.

“Ghh... N-No, that’s dangerous.”

“Huh? Dangerous?” Magiluka had begun walking ahead after offering her suggestion, but Mary had hastily rejected her idea, making her turn around and eye Mary suspiciously.

“Errr... Um... Ah.... Hmm... Ahem!” Mary cleared her throat. “I’m currently working undercover. You doubtless understand—I can’t have too many people knowing about this.”

“Lady Mary...”

Mary’s somber reply was a little—no, very odd to Magiluka. It simply didn’t make sense. But Magiluka decided to not pry further; perhaps Mary needed to consider circumstances Magiluka couldn’t even possibly begin to understand.

“Then why don’t I show you around?” Magiluka offered. “I’m sure there are stores that even you aren’t familiar with.”

“Th-That would be great. Thank you.”

With a look of relief, Mary agreed with this idea, and Magiluka tried her utmost best to think of stores that best suited her friend’s taste.

A few hours passed as the two shopped, until...

“Hey, Magiluka,” Mary said. “How long will you be hiding behind those curtains?”

True to her observation, Magiluka was currently hiding behind the curtain of a fitting room within an apparel store she was quite familiar with. For whatever reason, she was being used as Mary’s dress-up doll.

“B-But this is a bit too flashy...” Magiluka murmured. “It’s embarrassing.
