"Wh-What's going on?!" Yohane let out in a small voice, for she was now only a foot tall. Her clothes had thankfully shrunk with her, but she still was embarrassed about how tiny she was.
"Y-You're so tiny, zura!"
"I know that, jeez! Mari said it's safe to eat, my ass! You hear that, Mari-san, I'm gonna get you!"
Of course, Yohane wasn't just yelling at nothing; even on her island, Mari could hear everything that was happening in the city. And right now, she felt... kinda smug about it!
"Fufufu, she really fell for it~" Mari chuckled in her castle's foyer on Warshimer Island.
Ever since meeting Yohane a few months ago, Mari couldn't get the girl off her mind. She was charming in every sense of the word, and it felt as if Yohane really cared for Mari. No one had ever seen her as anything but the scary and detestable Demon Queen, until Yohane.
So Mari decided to enact a plan. Not a malicious one, she didn't want to hurt or torture the poor girl, she just needed a reason to be with Yohane for an extended period of time without seeming suspicious.
Since Mari could hear the voices of everyone in Numazu, she knew her plan was working. Hanamaru would bring the shrunken Yohane straight to her, where she would... well, she hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

"Y-Yohane-chan!! You're so teeny-tiny-zura~!" Hanamaru cooed. She picked up Yohane without any sense of boundaries and held her in the palm of her hand, like a little figurine. Yohane had shrunk from a foot to less than doll size within seconds.
"You gotta take me to Mari on Warshimer Island, Hanamaru-chan. She'll have to know about those ingredients you used!"
"O-okay-zura..." Hanamaru seemed nervous about the idea, but it seemed like the only way to cure her friend. She began walking towards the docks. The only problem is, Hanamaru didn't have a boat...
What was Hanamaru's plan?
