CHAPTER 88 OPERATION FAKE BREASTS

Afterwards, having finally gotten to know Kena, Merc spent some time talking about Astard and making fun of Kenas feelings for him.

Then, as night fell, Astard, who had left the house and gone somewhere, returned.

He exuded a sense of accomplishment.

Welcome back, Great Sage.

Hey. What were you up to?

Following Kenas gesture, Merc also called out to Astard, though she was somewhat taken aback by Astards attempt to hide his grin.

With a suspicious glint in his eyes, Astard nodded in response.

I did it! I talked with the Adventurers Guild and had them summon the Count. All thats left is for you to leap in front of the Counts carriage, and were good to go.

I see But wait, why the Adventurers Guild? How can the Guild summon the Count?

Count Fonans primary source of income is the Adventurers Guild. The Count receives royalties for the use of his land because the Guild operates on his territory. They give the Count money in order for him to stay out of their way. Given that the Guildmaster pays the Count a large sum of money every year, the Count cannot refuse when summoned. Hell definitely appear.

I see. I presume well show up when the Count decides to return from his meeting. Will everything go according to plan, though?

In response to Mercs skepticism, Astard confidently nodded in agreement.

Naturally. Ive instructed the Guildmaster to speak with the Count for about half an hour beginning at 8 a.m., and then see him off around 9 a.m. We should be fine if we ambush him around that time.

Thats all well and good, but will the Count really fall for me? Im afraid hell simply ignore me as suspicious

Have some more confidence in yourself. You are unquestionably a beauty among beauties based solely on your looks.

How kind of you.

Merc responded listlessly, stroking the goosebumps on her arms as a result of Astards praise, which she didnt enjoy at all. Kena, who had been listening to them, addressed them with a perplexed expression.

What are you talking about, Great Sage, Miss Merc?

Ah, Kena. Perfect timing. Theres something that Id like to ask of you. Do you mind?

What? No, of course not! Ill obey your every command.

I wouldnt go so far as to call it a command, though. Id like you to give this one a more feminine appearance.

What?

Kena froze as she followed Astards gaze to Merc. Astard realized his explanation was grossly inadequate after seeing her expression, so he spoke again.

In a nutshell, Id like you to dress her up. I believe the mannequin is of excellent quality, so make her turn heads wherever she goes.

I see

Hey! Dont raise the bar for her so high Astard! Kena dont listen to him. A smidgeon of femininity will suffice. You dont have to go that far. Naturally, Ill do everything I can as well.

Merc smacked Astard on the head for asking Kena to execute an impossible task as though it wasnt his business any more.

Kena, on the other hand, nodded heartily as if she understood exactly what she needed to do, even if she didnt fully grasp the circumstances.

Leave it to me! To tell you the truth, Ive always thought it a pity. Miss Merc is stunning, yet she is careless when it comes to her appearance. In any case, Ill try to extract as much of Miss Mercs charm as I can. Leave it to me.

H-Hey! You dont have to get all worked up over it. Moderation is key

Merc remarked, a bit overwhelmed by Kenas passion. Seeing her like that, Astard murmured into her ear.

What are you saying? You must take the Counts seduction seriously. After all, the professors life is on the line.

When you phrase it like that

With this whole process, Merc felt like she was losing sight of who she was, but it wasnt like she was dressing up for pleasure. She was doing it for a greater purpose, to save Doctor Glodel.

They couldnt take the matter lightly just because Merc didnt like it.

Great Sage. Unfortunately, all of the tailors are closed today. Im worried we wont be able to find any suitable clothing Isnt this something we should do first thing tomorrow morning?

Youre right. On a separate note, her attire doesnt have to be all that flashy. If her clothes appear to be overly expensive, the Count will be suspicious. Anything a typical girl might wear will do I got it! Kena, how about lending her some of your clothes?

Thats a bit

When confronted with Astards casual offer, Kena found it difficult to respond.

I dont see whats the problem. Your height is nearly identical, and while your outfits dont appear like they would be very trendy, they look like they would be appropriate for females your age.

So thats what it is.

Merc, like Astard, had trouble understanding Kenas reluctance at first. But then Merc noted Kenas worried expression. Merc eventually realized what was happening when she observed Kenas attention shift back and forth between her face and chest.

Astard. Even though were the same height, the same cant be said about our chest. If I wore Kenas clothing, the fabric around the breasts would just dangle, making it appear weird.

Oh, I see now. Well, you can just use some padding, cant you?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

What? Look here you! Thats a line that even Im not willing to cross

Because Merc was so obsessed with breasts, she felt padding to be extremely offensive. She didnt mind if they were used by others as long as she wasnt aware of it. If she did it herself, though, she believed it would be a disgrace to all large breasts throughout the world.

Her morals forbade her from using them.

Breasts only induce envy because they are genuine.

Merc thought as she glanced at Kenas genuine pair.

Why are you so preoccupied with something so insignificant? Fake breasts can even be used as a form of self-defense.

Self-defense?

Thats right. You wouldnt like it if the Count touched your chest, would you?

I guess I wouldnt.

And what if he suddenly wants to strip you?

I wouldnt let him I see! What youre saying is that if he realizes my breasts are fake, hell be less likely to continue, right?

Correct.

Merc felt frustrated because Astard truly did have a point. Furthermore, asking Kena to re-tailor her clothes to fit Merc from now on would be unreasonable.

After a brief pause, Merc nodded solemnly, having made up her mind.

Fake breasts I got it. Lets go with that.

As a result, Operation Retake Doctor Glodel, or more accurately, Operation Fake Breasts, was scheduled for the next day.
