11. I Don’t Understand Anymore

I was in a dark alleyway, facing a suspicious man dressed in black. Wh-What’s going on? Why was I just attacked? My mind can’t keep up with all this. I desperately tried to suppress the frantic beating of my heart as I prepared myself for battle. My foe, who had apparently noticed my change in attitude, took a fighting stance as well.

“Why was my blade...” the man muttered to himself. “Did she have an iron plate in her chest or something?”

“Whose chest is an iron plate?” I replied, unable to let that comment slide.

Thanks to that, my confused state of mind suddenly calmed down. I closely analyzed my enemy. He’s dressed in black and wearing a weird mask. Hmm... He’s so trope-laden that I thought he was a random extra prepared for me, but I guess I’m wrong. I should try to get an idea of who he is.

“You must be from the dark organization,” I said.

The man visibly twitched upon hearing my claims. Wait, am I right? I’d just taken a shot in the dark, so I was surprised by his response.

“How did you...” the man muttered, sounding equally shocked, confirming that I’d guessed correctly.

Huh? What? What’s going on? Isn’t the dark organization just a figment of my fake’s imagination? Are we sure he’s not just some actor? Oh my god! What’s going on?! I’d been banking on the fact that I’d be wrong, but panic once again washed over me when my deductions had been proven true.

“Tch. Another one’s joined us,” the man said, ignoring me and facing a different direction.

I followed suit and noticed a single ray of light heading our way.

“I’ll retreat for today,” the man snarled. “But I’ll steal your powers without fail and accomplish our goal.”

When I heard his clichéd villain lines, I quickly turned back to him, realizing that this wasn’t the time to be looking away, but he was nowhere to be seen. Did he...run? I glanced at my surroundings, but there were no signs of the man, and I finally eased up a tad. Wh-What’s going on? Is my fake’s imagination becoming a reality? No, there’s a chance that an organization like that really exists within this world. Did I just coincidentally run into them? No, that guy said he wanted to steal my powers... I felt like I was going in circles.

Eventually, the light was beside me. “My lady!” a familiar voice said.

“Tutte? And Headmaster,” I replied with a bit of relief.

“Good grief,” the headmaster said. “I was surprised when I found you gone, Mary. Are you like your fake, where you have a habit of doing bizarre things in unpopulated areas?”

“N-No!” I insisted, trying to clear up this misunderstanding. “I didn’t see my fake anywhere, so I...”

“If you’re talking about your counterpart, my lady, she’s asleep,” Tutte answered. “She did go to the bathroom earlier, however.”

“Huh? Wait, really?” I asked.

“Most certainly. She asked me to go along with her.”

“Why?”

“Because she’s afraid of using the bathroom by herself at night.
