This choice: "Easy, just give me someone's phone number, and they'll pick you up." • Go Back... "Easy," Takemi said, holding up her phone. "Just give me someone's number, and they'll pick you up."
"Wait... that's it?" Akira asked, an eyebrow raised. "You shrank me, and now you're sending me home. That seems... pointless."
"There are secondary effects to the serum I need to test," Takemi explained. "The main shrinking effect obviously worked as well, possibly better than I expected. I did not expect your clothes to also shrink. However, you should be emitting a pheromone that... well, it will produce better results for the test if you remain ignorant of that for the time being."
Takemi leaned in close to Akira, her giant hazel eyes boring into him and her mere breath a strong enough wind that the mere act of inhaling through her nose almost lifted him off his feet.
Was she... sniffing me?
"I seem unaffected. I suspect our age difference is the cause. Therefore, for the sake of the experiment, I would ask that the friend you have me call to retrieve you be close to you in age- perhaps a classmate from school, or Sakura-san's teenage daughter. I can get some valuable test date from their... reaction... to you, and you get a ride home. Everyone wins."
Akira thought about this for a moment. "This seems... sketchy. Like, even by the standards you've already set, which- I remind you- usually amounts to 'Here, drink this, see if you pass out.'" Akira looked up at the doctor, arms folded and eyes firm. "I'm just gonna stay here until it wears off or you give me the antidote or whatever."
"It will take about three days," Takemi said.
"THREE DAYS?!" Akira shouted. "You shrank me for three days without warning me?!"
"You agreed to the tests, my little guinea pig," Takemi said sardonically. "And it's not as though you're trapped here. Just choose a friend you trust to come pick you up and you can leave as soon as they arrive. Though if you want to stay, there are plenty of new experiments your size will allow me to try." The giant doctor licked her lips and smiled slyly at her tiny patient. "Tell me, have you ever seen Fantastic Voyage?"
"Okay! We'll call one of my friends," Akira quickly agreed, not wanting to test if the titanic Takemi was bluffing. "Let me just decide on one..."
"Take your time," Takemi said helpfully.
After careful consideration, Akira decided to have Takemi call...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
