Watching as Lindabelle is getting groped, while the former ghost is licking her new and gorgeous ethereal lips as she's about to start in on me, I sigh.

“Well...I mean, this isn’t the worst vacation I’ve had,” I mutter (word to the wise: do not believe everything you read in the travel brochures for the Elemental Plane of Fire). Certainly, it’s annoying to have things be this far out of my control - even when I play the part of the sub, I do so with a knowledge and sureness of the situation - but I suppose the whole point of a vacation is to get out of your comfort zone a bit, right? And besides, being who I am, I greatly appreciate narrative consistency, and I have to admit, after everything that’s happened today, this situation is a pretty fitting result.

It really was crazy, considering it...

Right after I had started to make my way to the palace, I was seeing more and more so-called princesses. I noticed, with some dismay, that they were now carrying crowns into buildings. It didn't take a sharp woman (which I flatter myself to think I am) to figure out exactly what was happening behind those closed doors. All I could think of was how much it seemed like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Although, I suppose that you can't really call it body snatching if what the invaders are doing is providing new bodies, can you? It's sort of the opposite, really.

At any rate, as disquieting as it was to watch dozens of slightly varied Princess Peaches break into people's homes to enact an adorable, sexy armageddon, what distressed me a lot more was the way more and more of them were staring at me.

It didn't become less disturbing when I noticed that, as I walked, quite a few of them were starting to follow after me, forming a crowd. All of them were holding crowns.

I started to move a bit faster. I already knew that those crowns wouldn’t work, after all. You might think that would reassure me, but it was quite the opposite: I didn't know how they would react to my immunity, but there was a very good chance that it wouldn't be favorably.

As I picked up speed, so did they.

Lindabelle called Saber into her room. The guard entered, an expression of concern on her face.

“My Queen, there is something rather...odd going on with the weather,” she reported, not sure how to fully express the nature of it. Nor, for that matter, was she sure whether she needed to report it at all; Saber was smart enough to know that there was a good chance that her queen was the perpetrator of the whole affair anyway.

“Oh, I’m sure it’s nothing to be too worried about,” Lindbelle dismissed with a giddy wave of her hand. “In fact, that's just what I called you here for, to let you know that everything is just fine! Although you may want to go meet with our guest soon.” She could tell that I was rapidly approaching the castle, with a fair-sized mob following after me.

“Of course, My Queen,” Saber acknowledged, walking out.

I approached the castle, now much closer to a run than a walk - which is never fun in heels, but I just can't help myself when it comes to them; they just make me look so damn good! Honestly, I'd probably just keep my naga tail full-time if it weren't for gorgeous footwear.

At any rate, I could see a woman approaching from the palace interior. She was dressed in the same uniform that I had seen a few people around town wearing earlier: clearly a royal guard.

But of course, before I could reach her, a crown fell from the sky and landed on her head. In a matter of seconds, she was transformed like all the others. And to add to it all, a second crown then landed in her hands. She looked to me with the same glimmer in her eyes as the other faux princesses.

Though she was no doubt more physically capable than I, she couldn’t run too well in the fancy dress, so I was able to make it past her and into the castle. It had a surprisingly basic layout, so it was not that hard to find my way to Lindabelle's throne room. I wondered if the direct access to the throne room was related to how the whole town seemed straight out of a JRPG (whose castles tend to have a direct beeline to the VIP room that any invader could very easily take advantage of), or whether it was simply a case where a living goddess really doesn't see the point of making herself inaccessible given that no attacker could really pose a threat to her anyway.

Then I shook my head reminded myself to focus on the whole "crazed body-shifted mob coming after me with nefarious intent" situation. I do run off on tangents at the worst times.

As I entered her room, Lindabelle greeted me with a smile.

“So, do you like what I have set up for you?” she asked.
