We were now inside the soundproof room at Chroma Music Academy.

We’d decided to prepare for the operation here.

This time’s Mysterious Beautiful Girl Time would require a great amount of magic power.

Naturally, that meant we’d be entering Twin Star Form.

When the two of us are together, our magic resonates and increases.

But even that wouldn’t be enough timewise.

We needed it faster—and with an enormous amount of power.

That’s why it was only natural to record some ASMR.

Obviously, right? Right!?

Please, make my heart race even more.

“Ahh, the day has finally come… The script isn’t finished yet, but I understand. You mean to say from here on, we’ll speak with the words of our souls!?”

Behind me as I set up the dummy head mic, Starreader’s Staff-chan—aka No. 0—spoke.

Incidentally, this dummy head mic was the special custom one from Miyume-chan, mysteriously stolen.

Sorry♥ I’ll give you some angel parts later, so please forgive me♥

“Ahhh, amazing. I feel like a child waiting for Christmas presents. I’m currently learning what it means to be human! It feels so good…!”

This kid’s always like this.

I was seriously worried she’d slip up before Nana-chan got sent back to Fectom.

“If only we’d invited Shieru, the loli voice would’ve been perfect.”

“As your big sister, that’s not something you should be saying.”

Nana-chan had already finished her work and gone back.

After transferring full authority of the underground theater and lab to us, she teleported away with a massive grin.

She sank into the ground through a transfer magic circle, giving us a thumbs-up—was she watching classic movies while gaming?

Maybe she’s a winner-class shut-in?

“So how are we recording this time?”

“I want to amplify the magic, so ideally something that stirs my emotions. This time, we’ll do an ASMR where the two Solcieras whisper into my ears. One being mean, the other being gentle.”

“—Alright, I understand.”

“That adaptability is insane.”

A switch flipped in No. 0.

There she stood—already Solciera.

R-Real one!

“With my magic, such things are entirely possible. The listener will accept it too.”

Solciera’s character setting was just that versatile.

Which is why she’d be easily accepted in such a setup.

“You really catch on quick. I’ll say this upfront—this is sleep-inducing-kink-breaking audio. So you’ll only be whispering. Got it?”

“Of course＾＾”

You’re leaking your real self a little.

“Then, shall we begin?”

I counted off with my fingers.

And then—

“Good morning, sweet explorer. You’re awake now… oh, did I startle you? I’m Lusciera.”

I nailed the opening line perfectly.

The script went like this:

While exploring a dungeon late at night, you collapsed from pushing yourself too hard.

You were saved by a mysterious girl named Lusciera, who brought you back to her hideout.

She had apparently taken a liking to you before and now seeks to heal your tired self.

The fleeting dream between you and Lusciera is about to begin—

That’s the gist.

We used the name Lusciera so as not to trouble the original Solciera.

Even though we’re technically the original.

The actual person recording kink-inducing ASMR is just… absurd.

So, this will be presented to the world as super high-quality fan content.

The theme this time: mysterious healing.

Preserving Solciera’s character while also releasing this as our first voice work means it should be all-ages.

Hence, we’ll start with a relaxing, sleep-inducing voice.

It’s being made for all the good kids in the world to sleep peacefully.

Especially you, Sougo-kun—brace yourself.

You’re gonna become an audio work addict after this.

I’ve even prepared a special track just for you: “ASMR of That Person You Admire Cleaning Your Ears.”

『Nice, what a wonderful intro. Perfect. I love that breathy voice＾＾』

Starreader’s Staff-kun sent his thoughts via telepathy.

Yes, this is my unique advantage.

Recording in sync with a staff who understands me, all through mind-chat.

We both had headphones on so our voices came through clearly.

This way, I could enjoy the mysterious beautiful girl from both actor and listener perspectives.

I wondered how much magic power I’d generate that way.

『How’s the magic power?』

『Explosively rising. I’m generating magic too in resonance. We’ll reach the target level in thirty minutes.』

『Alright, then we’ll just record part one for now. We’ll finish the rest when we get back.』

We were technically trespassing to record this ASMR.

So we couldn’t stay too long.

“Don’t push yourself. Just for now, be kind to yourself. Yes, lie down again… Eh? Why am I lying next to you too? Fufu, I wonder why.”

『Ahh, the best. Solciera’s sleeping beside me! Co-sleeping!』

“Until you fall asleep again, I’ll stay right here.”

We started with that sweet, gentle tone.

But now comes the real part.

“Your blushing face is so cute. Fufu… makes me want to tease you a little.”

『Let’s insert a magic-activation sound here to make it feel real.』

『Gotcha. On it.』

We kept chatting in our minds, but we didn’t stop.

According to the script, after I activated my magic—

“How about this? …Ah, did I surprise you again?”

Starreader’s Staff-kun joined in, perfectly mimicking Solciera.

“This is a projection of myself.”

This was Double Mysterious ASMR.

An ancient art passed down in my homeland.

“Until you fall asleep,”
“From both sides,”
“We’ll heal you.”

Their voices came through both sides of the headphones.

I met eyes with Starreader’s Staff-kun, nodded, and we began telepathy together.

『『Perfect……』』

Too perfect.

From here, Starreader’s Staff-kun and I would split into sweet Sorciera and sadistic Sorciera to torment both ears.

Now the real performance begins.

■

At the same time, at Mikage Academy.

“—!?”

Eina suddenly sensed the abnormality and shot her gaze to the ceiling.

“…Eh, ehh.”

“Huh? What’s wrong, Eina?”

Rokuhara noticed his partner’s odd behavior and spoke up.

Eina quickly forced a smile and shook her head violently.

“N-No no no, it’s nothing! Really! Come on, let’s get back to beating up that newbie Touraku guy!”

“Wasn’t the goal not to beat him into the ground…?”

Rokuhara looked down at Touraku lying on the floor.

It was already their fifth match, and the guy was drenched in sweat, barely able to get up.

“You’re hiding something, aren’t you?”

“Of course not!? M-Me, hide something from you? Never!”

“…Einaaa.”

“Hii! I’m sorry! I’ll talk!”

Under his glare, Eina quickly bowed, then motioned for him to come closer.

“Why whisper?”

“Thought it’d be best if Touraku didn’t hear…”

She leaned in and said:

“…Just now, I detected an insanely powerful magic presence. Unimaginably strong. Based on its signature—probably from my sister.”

“Solciera, huh. I see… The location?”

“Chroma Music Academy. The school Ryuuko was asking for help from.”

Eina could scan large areas, but even then, it was hard to detect across school boundaries.

Yet even she picked up on Solciera’s immense power.

Meaning, that much power was needed.

“Something seriously bad might be going down.”

Eina looked like she’d bitten into something bitter as she said that.

She didn’t want to go. She really didn’t want to get involved.

“U-Um, Leader… Can I pretend I didn’t notice this one…?”

She asked timidly.

Rokuhara just looked at her once and stayed silent.

“I-It’s not like I’d be useful anyway! Let’s just forget this happened! I mean, we’re working here too!”

Eina flailed her hands around as she pleaded.

And Rokuhara—

“Yeah, fine.”

“…Seriously?”

“Yeah. This takes priority… What’s that look for?”

Eina’s eyes welled with tears as she nodded in relief.

“I totally thought I’d be dragged into this… I’m so glad.”

“That’s a pathetic reason, jeez.”

Rokuhara said, clearly exasperated.

“There’s Ryuuko and Sorciera at Chroma, right? No matter what happens, it’ll be fine. They both beat me once, after all.”

“Y-Yeah!”

“…Wait, both of them beat me? Perfect timing, huh…”

Just as Rokuhara was muttering and piecing something together—

Eina suddenly yelled at the top of her lungs.

“How long are you gonna lie there, Touraku!? We’re ready to go! Aren’t you ashamed as a Demonsgear user!?”

“W-What!?”

Trying to snap back to their training, she yelled to revive the collapsed Touraku.

“Get up! I’m your Demonsgear senpai!”

“Ugh, but my body—”

“Move it by sheer will!”

Just as she reached for his hand, the white blade he was holding glowed.

It transformed into the shape of a girl, who twisted Eina’s arm and locked it firmly.

“Ow! Lutra, that hurts!”

“Don’t bully Touraku. I’ll cut you.”

In just one second—

Lutra had claimed total victory.

“Leader, help! I’m getting bullied by a Demonsgear! My arm’s coming off!”

“Getting cocky while we stayed quiet. Unforgivable.”

“H-Hiiiee! Leader, hurry!”

Pinned down completely, Eina called out to Rokuhara.

Watching the whole thing, he sighed, utterly fed up.

“You’re pathetic… Why’re you losing?”

“My arm’s coming off! Help!”

It wasn’t what he’d planned, but that pitiful display stopped Rokuhara’s assault on Chroma.

He’d lost his drive, seeing how lame his partner was.

(Well, I can always go play with them later. Let’s focus here for now.)

Unlike his partner, he was surprisingly good at separating work from play.
