Reincarnated in a depressing erotic world but living a normal life (right?)
The Resonance of Freedom

Hey everyone!

You know, I feel like some time has passed since I said that, so I want to ask: how are you all doing?

Me?

Ahahahahaha.... Well.... You see...

I'm trapped!

Isn't that normal?

...Okay, I think I used the wrong words in this case, so I'll be clearer: I'm gagged, restrained with a straitjacket immobilizing me, locked in my room with bars on the windows while I'm forced to listen to relaxing whale sounds!

Isn't that relaxing?

Well, it's not if you listen to this non-stop for a whole damn week!

I'm sick of those sounds!!

Isn't this too cruel?!

I mean, I admit I tried to escape the first confinement and tried to move or work a couple of times, and I also admit getting frustrated with this state of weakness, hitting the wall a couple of times only to end up hurt... But still.... Isn't this too much?!

They gagged me to prevent me from asking Silver, Goldie, or the straw dolls to free me, they tied me up leaving no possibility of movement after they somehow noticed how I had improved at freeing myself from restraints, and they even cut off my access to any form of work or training I could use!

Worse yet, Echidna has remained asleep all this past week with no signs of waking up, and my condition still shows no signs of improvement.... Ugh... In this state, I'm no better than an insect...

"Mmmmmm!! Mmmmuuuummm!! (When will my powers return?!!)"

("Mom...?")

("...?")

(Are you okay...?)

(Help...?)

(I don't know?)

"Mmmmm....mmuu....fmp...(I'm fine... Haa... But they can't understand me like this...)"

The only thing that gives me some hope to free myself and move my body even a little are Silver and the others, whom they left in the room knowing that they can't understand my intentions to help me in this state... However, that was their mistake!

I believe in you, free me, my babies!!

("Mom!!")

("!!")

(Hug!)

(Play!)

(Yaaayy!!)

.... However, they didn't seem to understand the fervent pleas in my gaze and proceeded to play around me... Haa... Escape attempt number 468... Failed...

Can't I really do anything but just stay here being pampered and doing nothing?

In fact, it seems I'm the only one in this house worried about doing nothing!

Do you know what the others told me?

For example, Mom (possessed) said something like: "Don't worry, brat, you can stay like this all you want. In fact, it feels better to know you can't escape... Ahem! I mean... you need to rest."

And even Susie told me: "It's wonderful to be able to take care of such a weak version... Haaa~... I wish this moment would last forever..."

And not just them, everyone here has said something like that!!

At this rate, won't I become a parasite?

Now do you understand why I must escape somehow?!

Damn it, if only I could do something or ask for help somehow!

Ugh... It's likely that while I'm doing nothing here, something is happening outside... Haaa... But what can I do if only I could transform into a magical girl or combine with Silver to transform into a Silver Knight, I could break this frustratingly resilient straitjacket once and for all... Haaa, if only I could achieve a "resonance."

(ZAAAASS!)

"Huh...?"

("Mom!")

.... Okay... just... wait a minute... Was it that easy?!

This change in perspective size, this familiar surge of strength, and the peculiar image of an impressive silver knight in a straitjacket reflected in the mirror can only mean one thing!

"Freedom!!"

Shouting these words, I unleashed gray flames as I shredded that damn straitjacket that had given me so much trouble and stretched my arms high towards the ceiling.

("Ohh!!")

(Wow!)

(Great!)

(Mom, free!)

"Ahahahahaha!!"

Bathed in the applause and jubilation of the straw dolls led by Goldie, for the first time in a week, I embraced sweet, sweet freedom as I laughed with joy... I can finally move!

I'm invincible!!

(Slap!)

No, control yourself, me!!

What do you think will happen if they notice you broke free?

Answer: Confinement!!

"So what do I do?!"

All the options I can think of end in confinement!

("Mom, let's play!")

"Play...?"

("Let's play!!")

.... Now that I think about it, I've actually never "played" with Silver or the others lately, being so busy.

"You guys want to play too?"

("Y-yes!!")

(Play with Mom!)

(Let's play!)

(Time to play!)

Seeing how all the straw dolls, and even shy Goldie, were so excited about the idea of playing, I made a decision...

"Okay... I guess doing this once in a while isn't bad... right?"

Yes, if I'm going to be locked up in the end anyway, then I'm going to enjoy this moment to the fullest!

"Let's play!!"

("Yessss!!")

("!!!")

(Yesss!!)

(Hooray!!)

(Let's go!!)

.... Well, even though I say play, it'll just be a walk through the "veil" at night, though, knowing what that place is like, something will most likely happen. But with Silver, the straw dolls, and Goldie by my side, there's nothing I can't overcome!

Besides, since this time I have much more experience, even without Echidna's guidance, I should be able to manage for a while. And who knows, maybe I can vent my frustration on someone in the process!

"Well then, let's all go!"

And with those words, all together we entered the "veil" through the mirror as we listened to the dripping rain as a backdrop.

I hope tonight is fun!!

I mean, what could go wrong?
