Something Wicked (Villainous Magical Boy Quest)

[ ] BACK TO NATURE

You're taking full advantage of the proximity to planet Earth. Plants everywhere, some nice wood accents and moss cushioning, and water features. The result might look more like a zoo exhibit than a bedroom, but neither you nor Sasori have the right anatomy for human furniture anyway.
Tempting...but it seems likely to attract pests (ants, gnats, Mitl, etc).

And on a serious note...decorating Sasori's space "like a zoo exhibit" gives me bad vibes.

The hospital still smells like chemicals and sickness. [...] It's also still a massive battery of suffering waiting to happen. You weren't worried about that last time, but you've seen a lot of humans awaken to magic since then. Maybe you should consider setting up some kind of perimeter to make sure nobody stumbles across the place and tries to power their spells with it.
There's only room for one magical girl villain on this here planet, pardner.

Kyoko magic perception roll: D100 + 2D10 => 97
Thank Space God someone in this party can roll a decent Magic Perception check.

oh god the "ostrich head in sand" option is so tempting for shenanigans.
If this was a visual novel, I'd want to do a minimum-Magic-Perception run just to see how bad it can get.


"Yeah, yeah. Sure. Why don't you show me some more proof of this. I will be there to protect you from any evil ghosts (not that they exist here)"
Miko Yotsuya: Ha ha, that would be crazy.


Zaiyu. Why are you getting shown up by a magical girl already.
The ideal subjects of villain redemption arcs are either evil comic relief or the most competent villains. He's only likely to qualify for one of those.

Like the description said, she nearly sensed Zaiyu and Sasori, so let's believe what she says.

[X] INVESTIGATE
Can't leave something like this alone.
 
I can't believe these roles...

Voting is closed! Comfort is best, Zaiyu instantly believes Kyoko, and the investigation begins next update.

Yesssssssssssss. Kyoko gets a friend who's in her corner with zero hesitation. Exactly what I'd hoped for!

(Can you tell I'm a little invested in her being happy?)
 
Well, if nothing else it helps our cover! No way someone this oblivious and gullible could be a villain, right?

And soon, the magical girls will be telling us all about what they're doing, through two different avenues! Our spy duties are working out quite well, now we just need to get one of the others down here to use our collected information to fight them.
 
I'm still hoping Zaiyu ends up with a reason to create one human identity per magical girl, and then has to find some way to be all of them at once.

I guess that's still possible with just two identities, but it would be way sillier with five.

"You remind me of one of my other friends. I should introduce you! I think you'd get on - you have the same taste in books."

Zaiyu: sweats nervously in Estil
(I have no idea if Estil sweat/if it works the same way for them as it does for humans)
 
Zaiyu instantly believes Kyoko

This is the moment that viewers can remember when rewatching the show after it has ended and they'll be like "Wait, so that wasn't Kai being not noticing, it was Zaiyu's plan?!?!?" Of course, much to everyone's dismay, it was Zaiyu himself being dense.

There shall be chaos and havoc once it is revealed that Zaiyu's dendrites mean that he could potentially hug three magical girls at once.
 
And thus we're back to Zaiyuu explaining how poly is really the only right answer and monogamy is weird.

Edit:

Shayin: "...So you're dating an Earthling."
Zaiyuu: "Earthlings, actually. Plural."
Shayin: "I really did not need this headache... All right, who?"
Zaiyuu: "Let's see, Kyoko, Akira, Rose, Sasori... Come to think of it, I think I'm dating basically every Earthling I know the name of except Tomoe?"
Shayin: "Please tell me you at least got some information out of it."
Zaiyuu: "I have! I'm still working on finding Tomoe's scientist closet, though!"
Shayin: "...Scientist closet."
Zaiyuu: "You know, the closet where she keeps her pet scientist in!"
Shayin: "...I don't want to know any more. Just tell me if you find it."

Oh no, the power of Friendship has already taken you over!
Quickly, think
Evil thoughts!
If we persuade all the girls that are going to be romantically invested in us that Estil taking over would be an improvement to the average quality of life, we could get them to help with the invasion.

There, a suitably evil reason to romance all the girls.

Fantastic, 10/10, I love it.

Alternate punchline:

Shayin: "...do you think Mitl counts as a scientist?"
Zaiyuu: "Why do you think I'm looking for the closet?"

Unfortunately, everyone on the invasion team is technically scientists so they would all have to be banished to the closet. Or they could lock themselves in and conveniently forget about Mitl.
