A World of Monster Girls

Chapter Nine

Alright, let's just calm down for a second and carefully examine this.

My forehead is itching a bit due to how much I scrubbed the eye symbol so that it would disappear. Of course, that didn't work.

Listen, it looks horrible, okay? I don't want that thing permanently on my forehead.

So, Code Zero...

"Hmm..." I can see another vein appearing on her forehead. Does she hate the name, or does she just not want me to call her by that name?

Ah, whatever. So, tell me, what the hell is this symbol?

"I've already told thee," She said calmly. "It's thy third eye."

Third eye my ass, I can't see anything with this!

No- Let's stop this, no need to get agitated so easily.

"Haah..." With a sigh, she continued, "I believe it was unlocked due to thy fight with 'Ivy'. As for what it does, plenty."

...Such as?

"I can't give you all the detail, because I myself don't know all of them. I know only the basics based on what my mistress told me. For starters, It can amplify thy perception speed, making things much faster than thee appear slower."

That's... neat? So that's what happened with Ivy? I thought it was just adrenaline, to be honest. Wait- that doesn't make sense, I already experienced something like this in the real world!

"Heh- Real world," She snickered and muttered under her breath.

Woman, do you think I'm deaf or what? What does that supposed to mean?!

"Surely you should've noticed that thy previous experience wasn't exactly similar to this one. This one felt more vivid, did it not? Furthermore, this one can be activated at will.

Oi, oi, this is nice and all, and does indeed seem different, but can we just take a second and go back over that whole 'real world' thing? Don't dodge that question!

"I don't know what is thee talking about. Is thee sure thy mind is not broken and is functioning correctly?"

Hey! Don't use my own tricks against me!

Ugh, screw this. I'm sure I'll know about it someday.

I hope.

So... how can I activate it? Last time it worked was when I was pretty much in a life-or-death situation, and I kinda don't like that. You said it activates at will, right? Do I just shout 'Third Eye!' and it will work?

"Sure."

Really? Well, here goes nothing.

"Third E-"

"Of course that's not how it works!"

Jesus! Okay, okay, you don't have to shout.

"Hmph, although I don't know the exact specifics, my mistress said that the Chosen One, in others, thee, would be able to use it via a simple thought, not some foolish shout, as long as their mind is truly calm. Also, with it, thy processing speed would increase, making to so-"

Woah woah, wait. Go back a bit.

"...The processing speed?"

No, further back.

"Using thy third eye via a thought?"

No! The Chosen One stuff! What the hell does that mean?! You told me you don't know the reason why I was dragged into this world!

"Oh, uh, see... My Mistress mentioned thee being a Chosen One of some sort, which by itself would've been enough to drag thee here, but she also stated that it wasn't the reason why thee is here."
