"Huh? Oh, I'm here again."
Chris opened his eyes and looked around. He was in the familiar space again.
"Alright, I guess the Witch wants to talk to me again. Hmm... does she want to inform me about the location of a workshop where I could build the portable medical monitor?" he thought. The Witch was nowhere to be seen. "I wonder when-"
Then, the familiar chair with the Witch sitting on it appeared in front of Chris.
"Oh, there she is."
Everything seemed to be a usual. However, this time the Witch didn't greet Chris right away. Instead, she was sitting silently with her eyes closed.
"Umm... hello?" Chris said.
The Witch simply continued to sit silently for 20 seconds. Once the seconds passed, she finally opened her eyes and looked at Chris. The odd sparkle formed in them, but then the Witch blinked and it disappeared.
"Damn it. It works on me too." the Witch said.
"Huh? What works?" Chris asked. The Witch didn't answer, taking a deep breath. "Are you okay, ma'am?"
She nodded. "I am, but not completely. Greetings, Mr. Thorndyke."
"Nice to see you again, ma'am." Chris greeted back. "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Two things, actually. First one is related to our agreement. Let's start with this one."
The Witch took out a map and showed it to Chris. Chris quickly noticed that there was an area outlined in pencil on it.
"This map will be with you when you're awake. You should arrive to this place by 1:00 p.m." the Witch said, pointing at the outlined area. "The car will arrive and my agent will take you to the workshop. All the materials there will be at your disposal. Don't worry, we made sure to bring there all the needed materials you described so you could build the portable medical monitor. And we also brought some other materials in case you'll want to build something for yourself."
"Thank you, ma'am." Chris said.
"You're welcome, handsome~." the Witch cooed, giving him a sultry look.
"Oh, uuuuhh..." Chris uttered, not expecting that from someone like her.
The Witch then blinked a couple of times and her eyes widened. "Wait, did I just-"
She facepalmed. "Damn it!"
"Are you okay?" Chris asked.
"Well, Mr. Thorndyke, there is the second thing I want to talk to you about." The Witch said, rubbing her forehead. "First of all, I gotta confess something."
"What is it?"
"Immediately after getting here, I looked through your memories. This is why I wasn't speaking to you right away."
"Huh?" Chris perked up. "Why did you do that?"
"I wanted to see if you were behind this. But your memories confirm you are not." the Witch said, scratching her head.
"Behind what? What do you mean?" Chris asked in confusion.
The Witch sighed. "Yesterday, I rewatched the interview you gave Breezie. There was nothing weird happening before. But this time, I felt something suspicious. As I watched the interview, I felt some strange TV signal coming into my mind. This signal wasn't there the last time I watched it."
"The TV signal? What exactly was strange about it?" Chris asked curiously.
"There was a message in this signal. The message was sending the picture of you and telling that-" the Witch coughed in her hand. "-that you are super attractive."
"W-Wow, really?" Chris said, not expecting that. "Are you not joking right now?"
The Witch shook her head. "To make sure I'm not going nuts, I called two of my agents - one man and one woman - for checking. I had them both watch the interview. The man remained the same, the signal clearly didn't affect him. But I can't say the same thing about the woman. Soon after she started watching interview, I saw her eyes sparkle and look at you in delight. I gave her the picture of you and she immediately started hugging it and even gave it a few kisses, claiming that she wants to see you live."
"That is... is this the case only with interview or the TV signal is sent through all Ms. Breezelda's shows?" Chris asked, surprised about what he just heard.
The Witch nodded. "I personally checked, and indeed, I could feel the same signal coming from each Breezelda's show. Looks like there's something in her studio that generates this signal and it makes females who watched any of the content attracted to you. Say, Mr. Thorndyke, have you seen Anti-Cream and Anti-Vanilla act differently around you?"
Chris thought about it.
"Actually, yes. I remember that Anti-Cream suddenly started acting differently. She wasn't really mean to me before, but wasn't very energetic around me. However, at some point, she started acting cheerfully around me, hugging me and even pecking my cheeks. Anti-Cream was so happy to go to the clay modeling club and during the rest of the time kept that cheerful acting towards me."
He looked at the side awkwadly. "Anti-Vanilla also kinda changed. I mean, she was calling me her 'special someone' before, and even, you know... did some things to me in her bedroom from time to time."
"I noticed." the Witch thought with a mental chuckle as she read Chris' memories of what kind of fun Anti-Vanilla was having with him.
"But recently, she, uuuum... I don't want to get into the details, but shortly - Anti-Vanilla started acting more extreme towards me. And it happened just yesterday."
The Witch nodded, seeing Chris' memories of how Anti-Vanilla made him her pet and had him serve her and Anti-Cream's feet.
"I think Anti-Carrotia had also started acting weird around me. I remember they all watched Breezelda's shows. Does it mean that the signal made them attracted to me?" Chris asked.
"Most likely." the Witch said. She rested her head on her hand, looking down thoughtfully.
"So, there's a TV signal from all Breezelda's shows that makes females, well, attracted to me. But who might need to do such thing? If Breezelda was a villain and wanted to make people watch her TV programs more with a help of the signal, it would have been more logical to send the message that affects ALL people, not just females, and makes them attracted to these TV programs, not to me." Chris said thoughtfully. "It's definitely someone else. But who?"
The Witch shrugged. "I have no idea, Mr. Thorndyke. Maybe someone wants to distract you from something."
She thought to herself: "Perhaps this is the work of his evil version, which was created after Anti-Sonic used the scepter I sold him. Why would he do such a thing with TV signal though? Hmm... maybe he wants to distract Chris' attention, so that while Chris is focused on dealing with women, he could put some of his plans into action. Suppression Squad doesn't have any reason to create such signals. So the evil version of Chris is the only possible option right now."
"What about you, ma'am? It looks like you somehow manage to remain the same most of the time." Chris asked with interest.
"I have a very strong willpower. But even with it, I can only suppress the effect of this signal in my mind, but I can't get it out of my head. There will be periods when my willpower has to take a little rest, and at these periods this signal will be taking over." the Witch said. She sighed before continuing. "So if I contact you and start flirting with you, Mr. Thorndyke, remember that the signal took temporary control over me. Don't worry, it can't take permanent control. I'm mentally strong enough not to let this happen. But still, I'd really appreciate, Mr. Thorndyke, if you could find a way to stop this signal."
"Of course. I don't want any girls and women, including you, ma'am, to be attracted to me against their will. This isn't nice." Chris said before thinking. "And I'd really like to stop Anti-Vanilla from doing more extreme stuff to me than what she usually does."
He held a finger on his chin. "I got to find the source of this signal and deactivate it. But in order to find it, I need a detector. I could build one if there are needed materials in the workshop."
"Great. Just don't forget - today, by 1:00 p.m, at the place outlined by pencil." the Witch instructed.
"I got it, ma'am." Chris nodded.
The Witch then beckoned Chris with her finger, and suddenly Chris got levitated to her pretty fast. In less than a second he was close enough to bump into her. Chris recovered himself, and his eyes went wide as he found his head in Witch's cleavage!
"But you know, cutie, if you keep the signal going just a bit longer, I could go on a date with you~." the Witch cooed.
Chris tried to pull away, but the Witch hugged him, restraining him and burying his head further. She giggled. "Come on, Chris. If you really don't like it, attack me using your fighting skills."
Chris hesitated. The Witch chuckled and stroked his head with her right hand, while using her left arm to hold him in place.
"You know, cutie, I begin to suspect that you like being dominated."
"W-What? No I don't! Ma'am, snap out of it!" Chris exclaimed, but his words were muffled by Witch's boobs.
"After all, you could have easily escaped from females that dominated you with your fighting skills. You could simply paralyze their limbs without really harming them and then escape. But you didn't do that. Hehe, you enjoy being girls' submissive, don't you~?" the Witch cooed before pulling Chris' head out of her and kissing him on the cheek. "Come on, Chris, just admit that you want me to dominate you~."
"Ma'am!! Stop it!!" Chris exclaimed.
The Witch then blinked a few times, turned her head left and right before stopping her focus on Chris. She looked at him in surprise and let him go.
"Oh great. That signal took over. I did some weird stuff, didn't I?" the Witch said, holding a hand on her face.
"Yeah, kinda." Chris said awkwardly.
"Ugh, alright then. I'm ending our chat. Just do as I instructed, build the monitor and deal with the source of this TV signal as fast as you can. See you, Mr. Thorndyke." the Witch said before snapping her fingers. A flash of light appeared in front of Chris and dream ended.
After Chris woke up...
