===Yuo’s Continued Sight Mode: In DT Castle===

'''<Yuo’s Over Reload>

Yuo lay collapsed in front of the fridge.

She was in her smaller size and sprawled out face down on the rug.

The fridge in front of her was small, but it had both a refrigerator and a freezer. The former’s door was sitting open.

All of the drinks in the door of the fridge had a boost factor of only x0.5.

The snacks on the shelves were all x0.7 or x0.8.

A window floated over her head while she faced them all.

<nowiki><I</nowiki> didn’t make it in time. I never imagined going on a diet would come back to bite me like this.>

She sighed and got up, still in her smaller form.

She crawled over to the fridge and leaned against it. She reached out and opened the freezer at the top.

It was filled with frozen foods and frozen treats.

<Heating the frozen foods would use up a lot of power. They could locate me from that alone.>

The few frozen treats in the back of the freezer were x0.8 at the most.

<If I Downloaded now, I would run out of energy near instantly. I let Puppy eat all the high factor stuff when he was salvaging the programs.>

She opened the fridge again and saw a single x2 factor item. The small round container held…

<Mayonnaise. This was the only thing at the store that day, wasn’t it?>

She got up again, grabbed that, and removed the lid. She sniffed it with a serious look on her face and then noticed a pair of eyes on her.

Puppy the ferret was staring.

<Don’t worry. I’m not going to eat plain mayonnaise.>

Then she tilted her head and succumbed to curiosity.

<By the way, Puppy, what’s the boost factor on your food?>

Puppy stood up and considered it for a moment.

Then he quickly shook his head. He grabbed his empty food container and shook it to show how empty it was.

Yuo smiled bitterly at that and waved her hand dismissively.

<No, no. I wasn’t actually going to eat pet food.>

Puppy stared at her, still holding the container.

He didn’t believe her.

Unsure how to respond, she scratched her head.

She nodded, looked down at herself once more, and noticed her clothing had shrunk along with her like it was supposed to.

She carefully grabbed the mounds at her chest from below and lifted them a few times.

<Oh, they’re really there. I think I finally understand Telyb’s mini-size fetish.>

She looked to Puppy.

<So have you noticed anything weird going on?>

Puppy paused for three full seconds before responding.

He finally pointed his right foreleg at his own head. And jabbed it five times for emphasis.

<Huh?>

Yuo frowned just before hearing footsteps from outside the window.

<Eh?>

She started to rush over to the window but stopped. Being seen from outside would give away her position, so she used her ears to track the footsteps echoing in from the courtyard.

These were the footsteps of knights wearing a type of mobile armor known as a defenser. It came from the left from Yuo’s perspective, which meant the east.

<That means they’re on the way to the southeast communication tower.>

<And if the knights are gathering there, then the person who caused the gunfire earlier must be there too.>

After reaching that conclusion, she shouted her thoughts to Puppy who sat on the bed.

<Puppy! Show me a map of the southeast communication tower! I can seal the stairways better that way!>
