A magic solution.

"Hmm... I have an idea," Bella declared after only a moment of thought, tilting her head and glancing sidelong at Ralli. "I'll have to get a substitute for my own class."

"I do not believe it is right for you to interrupt your own schedule for my foolishness," Ralli confessed.

"Oh, not at all, darling, it's no trouble at all! It will be my sincere pleasure." Both of these were true statements... For one thing, the magic instructor was far less of a girl scout than her fellow knight, and took "sick days" off for less interesting excursions all the time. For another, it would, indeed, be her sincere pleasure, for reasons Ralli was too naive to suspect. "Now, let's get you something to eat. Afterwards, we'll head to the showers."

"Yes. I am starving. Also, I could use a shower... Hm? Wait..."

Ralli continued to try and probe the other teacher for what solution they had come up with throughout dinner, but Bella would simply sigh and say how much she was looking forward to the shower, ignoring the question. Finally, the sergeant gave up. She wasn't too dense to realize it had something to do with Bella's plan, so she let it be.

The showers. Ralli found herself alone with Bella there. They were in a sort of dead zone in terms of usage: the peak hours tended to be early in the morning, right after training, and right before bed. Since it was squarely dinner time, they had the room to themselves.

The deathspeaker was suddenly and keenly aware that she and Bella had never been in the shower together. For whatever reason, the magic instructor always seemed to avoid it. In any case, the braineater had told Ralli to wait with her back away from the showers with a playful tone in her voice... Now, the knight sergeant found herself sitting on a bench and sweating. She couldn't tell what Bella's plan was, but she knew...

"When I turn around, I am going to see her naked. I can sense the robe falling from her body... Even without my senses, I could hear it."

"Oh, Ralli, honey...~"

Hearing her friend's voice, Ralli whipped her head around to train her senses on her friend's naked body... training them hard on the peaks of the large breasts, which jiggled with each step, and the sensual strut that always came naturally to the other teacher. The only thing Bella wore at all was the knight's pendant which hid her true form. "Why are you naked?"

"N-naked?!" the other woman responded, her rosy complexion growing rosier as she covered herself with sudden modesty. "B-but the illusion! I mean, I'm trying to show you the illusory clothing spell I cast! Don't you see a perfect recreation of my ordinary robe?!"

"I do not 'see' anything," Ralli reminded her with a frown, turning both her senses and her scarred face away bashfully.

"Oh... Aha... Hahaho! Um, I forgot about that!" Bella giggled, turning away to hide her nervous smile and the increased pace of her heartbeat. "Yeees... W-well, sweetest, you'll have to take my word for it that, to the unaided eye, I appear completely clothed, just as I normally would."

"That is hard to believe. I do not sense anything at all. It is as if you are standing stark naked... Ah. I am not trying to sense your body right now," the sergeant quickly clarified, her dark face glowing.

The braineater bit her lower lip and smiled. Seeing that her friend was somehow more embarrassed than she was calmed her down a bit. Or, rather... "I'm getting a little too excited. Blast, this girl is just too cute. Right now, I want to tease her a little more...!" Bella's painted lips split in a grin that would probably look ravenous on her undisguised face-fitting mouth. "Mm... But I promised myself I would behave. Oooh, dear..."
