“Who\u2019s your employer?”
“There\u2019s no employer! I\u2019m the free-spirited ninja, Karin-sama!”
“It seems like you don\u2019t want to talk.”
“What are you gonna do if I don\u2019t? If you can silence me, go ahead and try!”
“Then, you\u2019re going to drink this.”
(Sound of a black orb being placed on the table)<\/em>
“Huh? You think you can threaten me with this? What a joke.”
“This is a magical tool that absorbs ether from your body.”
“Oh? And? What\u2019s that got to do with me? It won\u2019t work on a ninja like me.”
“You\u2019re an interesting one. Let me tell you something then. I already know where all your friends are.”
“What!?”
“And you\u2019re just bait to lure them out.”
“Bullshit! You think I\u2019m just gonna let you do whatever you want?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Hey, do it.”
“D-Don\u2019t touch me! \u2026Ugh, damn it\u2026 stop it\u2026!”
(Sound of drinking)
\u201dHmph, you can only act tough for so long.\u201d
“W-What are you talking about!? There\u2019s no way that\u2019ll work\u2026!?”

“THROB!!!!”
(The sound of the magical device suddenly swelling inside her stomach.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Sound of the abdomen suddenly expanding)
“Wha-!? W-What is this\u2026 ughhh!!”
“Let me tell you, this magical tool grows larger when it absorbs ether.”
“W-What\u2026!? Ughhh!?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“How\u2019s that? It\u2019s already grown this big from absorbing your ether.”
“Ugh\u2026 I\u2019ll puke this thing out right away\u2026!”
“How do you plan on puking it out?”
“Gghh\u2026 guhh\u2026!”
(Sound of struggling and retching)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t choke on it and die a pointless death.”
“Cough\u2026 guhhh\u2026 gagging\u2026 haah\u2026!!”
“Got it? This magical tool won\u2019t come out unless you cut open your stomach.”
“Stop\u2026 this\u2026 damn it\u2026 this is\u2026 not happening\u2026!!”
“Well, I\u2019m leaving now. I don\u2019t like getting dirty. Do as you please.”
“Hah, don\u2019t mess with me\u2026 damn it\u2026 this\u2026 don\u2019t underestimate me\u2026 ugh\u2026!!”
(Sound of the door slamming shut)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

“N-No\u2026 what should I do\u2026?! Aghhh, it’s going to tear\u2026 stop it\u2026!!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
