"...Wukong, can we sneak around dressed like this?" I looked at Wukong, who was trying to wear black clothes with underwear on her head.
"Master, this is the best way. Our enemies won't know who we are," Wukong took off the underwear from her face and looked at me.
"But they might think we're perverts and capture us," I glared at Wukong, who seemed indifferent.
"M-Master, don't worry! We will succeed- your underwear smells so nice... heheh Ah! I mean, we will definitely succeed!" Bajie wiped her drooling mouth, looking at me with determined eyes.
I took my underwear back from Bajie's hand, making her cry like rain.
Before that~
"I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS PLAN!" I stood up looking at both of them.
"Come on, Master, this plan is the most viable, right Bajie?" Wukong waved her hand teasingly.
"Um..." Bajie blushed and reluctantly agreed.
What a perverted pair! Are you really ready to wear all-black outfits from neck to toe and use underwear as a mask to pretend to be thieves?!
That's not something a normal person would think of! Oh wait, they're monsters after all...
But no way! I'd rather lose money than stoop to this embarrassment!
"No means no," I firmly refused.
"Come on, Master~" Wukong clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling as if about to cry.
I slapped her face. But my hand turned red, damn it!
"Bajie, beg with me!"
"B-But..."
"Do you want to touch your Master's underwear-"
"MASTER!! PLEASE, MASTER, USE THIS PLAN, MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!" Bajie hugged my leg, her snot got on my pants.
"ARE YOU NO SHAME?!!" I tried to pull my leg away, but Bajie was as heavy as a rock weighing several tons.
Later~
"I hate you guys," I suppressed my embarrassment as much as possible, then rummaged through my bag.
...There it was, white underwear with a banana design in the middle.
"Oh, that's mine," Wukong said casually as if nothing happened.
I threw the underwear into the trash can.
"How crude! You have no idea how long I saved money to buy it."
Ignoring what she says, I continued searching through my bag.
...This time it was a pair of very hard-to-describe underwear with a pig design in the middle.
"Oh, that's mine-"
I tossed it into the trash can.
"MY UNDERWEAR!!!" Bajie jumped straight into the trash can.
"We're doomed..." I covered my face, speechless.
Wukong sighed, then pulled out a mask from his bag and handed it to me.
"I knew how you'd react, Master, so I prepared this mask."
It was a cricket mask, and it looked minimally dirty.
"W-Where did you get this?" I trembled, taking the mask from Wukong.
"Near the river," Wukong thumbs up.
***
We sneaked gracefully into the castle.
Wukong led the way, scouting and checking the path.
Bajie was vigilant, keeping an eye out in all directions, protecting me.
Looking up at the window, Wukong threw a rock to shatter it.
Then, Wukong carried me princess-style and leaped inside, while Bajie looked at Wukong enviously.
Inside, we saw candles illuminating the room.
There were two muscular fishmen without clothes on the bed, staring at us.
"Oh no, we're sorry for disturbing you both," all three of us bowed apologetically, then quickly opened the door and rushed out of the room.
"INTRUDERS!!!" the two fishmen shouted, and we sprinted away as fast as we could.
"NEXT TIME I WON'T LET YOY MAKE PLANS ANYMORE!!!" I yelled at Wukong as we ran.
"SO DO YOU HAVE ANY BETTER PLANS?!" Wukong retorted, still smiling.
"WHETHER IT IS OR NOT I WON'T MAKE IT THIS WEIRD!!" I gasped, sweating heavily and slowing down.
Bajie seized the opportunity to carry me, giving Wukong a proud look.
Wukong ignored her, which infuriated Bajie.
All three of us ran and hid in an empty room. We could hear hurried footsteps and the voices of guards outside.
"We're safe now..." I wiped sweat off my forehead.
Wukong suddenly remembered something .
"Oh right, why didn't I use this?" She said, rummaging through her bag.
"What is it?" Bajie and I asked as we watched Wukong pull out something.
"Tah dah! A tracking compass!"
"...Why didn't you use it earlier?"
"Forgot," Wukong grinned sheepishly, scratching her head.
Both Bajie and I punched Wukong in frustration.
"Damn, we wasted so much time sneaking around!" I sighed.
"We don't have time to waste anymore. We need to find her quickly or who knows what they're doing to Yu Long," I added urgently.
"But we need something for this compass to pinpoint exactly where," Wukong rubbed her forehead, still sore from our punches earlier.
Something to pinpoint... there was something, but I wasn't sure if it would work.
"Wukong, hand me the compass," I requested.
Wukong quickly handed me the compass, and I infused a bit of my energy into it.
The needle inside the compass trembled violently before pointing in a certain direction.
"Huh?! How did you do that??" Wukong looked surprised at me.
"I sealed Yu Long with my energy, so she has my trace," I explained.
Wukong and Bajie applauded admiringly, making me blush a little.
"Ahem, let's go rescue Yu Long quickly," I urged.
We cautiously opened the door, looked around, and then moved stealthily like ninjas.
...Why do I feel so cringy about this?
***
"Sir Axin! There's an intruder!" a guard knelt before Axin, who was drinking beer.
"So soon? I haven't even prepared proper attire to welcome them," Axin threw away his glass and walked towards the wardrobe.
"You will handle this, sir?!" The guard looked admiringly at Axin, dressed quite stylishly.
"Haha yes! Women or not, I still kill them," Axin grinned.
"They will be grateful when their blood stains my hands."
