Episode 83 - Ryoko vs. Magical Girl — Kofu Romantic Tandem Operation (Part 2)

My Telekinetic Office Lady Girlfriend Is Way Too Powerful!


【Morning of Departure for Kofu】

Early morning—bathed in the dazzling light of fresh greenery, Shota stood in his apartment’s bicycle parking area, staring at the freshly completed, heavily modified bicycle: Pumpkin-chan🎃 No.1.

“…It’s huge…”

His one and only concern? The three-feet-wide jack-o’-lantern plush Ryoko had attached at the very end—Pumpkin-chan🎃.

“This thing’s way too conspicuous… It’s not even Halloween… It’s May!”

Pumpkin-chan’s toothy grin glowed cheerfully in the morning sun.

Shota let out a heavy sigh. Then, he dashed to Ryoko with a desperate plea:

“I’m not saying I won’t ride Pumpkin-chan🎃 No.1… but… could you at least use your psychic powers to suppress this overwhelming embarrassment?”

Ryoko gently smiled, brushing her hair with telekinesis.

“I’m sorry, Shota-kun. I can’t believe I didn’t notice how you felt… I’m such a failure… as a wife 😔

(Wait—did she just imply that she has ever been sensitive to my feelings at any point? That's not even remotely true!) Shota screamed internally.

“Well then, let me put a curse on you♡ If you give me a kiss… I’ll activate a ‘curse that makes you feel no shame.’ Come here, Shota-kun♡”

Ryoko stood up, opened her arms wide, closed her eyes, and puckered her lips.

“Uh… I’ve got a really bad feeling about this…”

But once it reached this point, Shota couldn’t resist. He gently hugged Ryoko and kissed her.

In that instant, a wave of intense drowsiness swept over him—and his consciousness faded.

——zzz……

____________________________________________________________________________________

When he awoke, the first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling… and the realization that he was back in the same place, lying in Ryoko’s arms.

“Ugh… mm… Senpai… huh?”

Shota froze as he noticed his own appearance.

A jet-black full-body cat suit. Fluffy cat ears on his head.

“…A black cat…?”

And Ryoko? She was now dressed in a full-blown magical girl witch outfit—ankle-length skirt, big red bow, and looking exactly like that anime movie’s heroine.

“Ufufu♡ You gotta commit to the character, right? Otherwise it’s embarrassing. That’s how it works! Don’t you think so, my talking black cat Shota-kun?”

“Wait, wait, wait!! What the heck is this outfit!! This is like TEN TIMES more embarrassing than before!!”

Panicked, Shota tried to tear off the cat suit—when suddenly:

(…!? Wh-why!? Just trying to take it off… feels like I’m stripping completely naked in public…!?)

Ryoko gave him a sweet smile.

“That’s the ‘Talking Black Cat Curse’♡ Think of that suit as an extension of your skin. Try to take it off, and your sense of shame multiplies by 20♡”

“Th-this is insaneeeeeee!!!”

And so, Shota’s scream as a talking black cat echoed through the peaceful morning sky.

____________________________________________________________________________________

【The Journey Begins】

Pumpkin-chan No.1 (aka P-chan🎃) sat in the corner of the parking area, its giant jack-o’-lantern face glowing under the morning sun—drawing stares from every direction. Local neighbors whispered among themselves:

“What is that…?”

“Is that… actually a bike?”

“Is that thing even legal?”

“Witch and black cat… isn’t it May?”

One parent even shielded their child’s eyes and whispered, “Don’t look at it.”

Shota gripped the handlebars of P-chan, face full of grim determination.

“Alright… Ryoko-senpai, let’s head out. We’ll just accelerate hard and get out of sight before the neighbors notice too much—Senpai?”

On the tandem seat behind him, Ryoko—dressed in black and purple witch attire—was clinging to him 100% snugly.

“Shota-kun… I’m running low on Shota-battery… I stayed up all night from excitement… Let me just… recharge a little… zzz…”

“Wha—huh!? Now!? You’re really sleeping right now!?”

Ryoko’s soft breath tickled his back. She truly looked like a device that had lost all power.

Stunned, Shota stood there for a while. Then, he made up his mind.

“…Fine. I’ll pedal. In this black cat suit. On this thing. With that pumpkin…”

He pushed down on the pedals—and the electric assist gently kicked in.

“…Gotta admit, this assist is actually helpful…”

And thus, the bizarre journey of a black cat and a witch on tandem began.

____________________________________________________________________________________

【The Talking Cat and the Witch Get Pulled Over】

As they reached the outskirts of Tokyo—

“Whoa, traffic’s picking up… But if we detour, we’ll fall way behind schedule…”

Still in full black cat mode, Shota pedaled down the main road. With P-chan🎃’s already shocking appearance, plus a witch and a cat aboard, they were basically a walking violation.

——Beep beep!

As they stopped at a red light, a short siren chirped behind them.

“You two on the bicycle—please pull over for a moment.”

They turned to see a highway patrol officer stepping off his bike and approaching.

“Oh no, here we go. I knew this would happen!!”

Shota forced a customer-service smile onto his face.

(Time to put those sales skills to use!)

“Oh, officer! Thank you for your service. Is this a routine check? Was someone suspicious around here?”

The officer frowned as he looked at the talking black cat
—his expression clearly reading, “It’s you.🫵”

“No, it’s not a stop-and-search… but, uh… riding double on a bicycle isn’t allowed, you know?”

At that moment, the weight on Shota’s back shifted.

“Mm… Sho~ta-kun? What’s this? A police officer?”

Ryoko slowly opened her eyes and sat up, still looking drowsy. Then she smiled sweetly at the officer.

“Ufufu, officer, take a good look♪ This isn’t double-riding♡”

Her red eyes began to glow faintly as she stared directly into the officer’s gaze. His mind started to fog.

“I’m sorry~ My kitty’s not very good at steering♡”

Her soft, sleepy voice echoed gently in his head, short-circuiting all resistance.

“Uh… y-yes, I see now… If a cat is driving… then this is one human and one animal… not double-riding at all… That was my mistake…”

The officer staggered back to his motorcycle, dazed.

“Thanks for your hard work~♡” Ryoko called out sweetly.

And at that exact moment, P-chan🎃’s wheels lifted gently off the ground.

Shota: “W-wait wait wait! Senpai! We’re flying! We’re really flying!!”

Ryoko: “Fufu♡ It’s fine. I haven’t even accelerated yet. But now… it begins, Shota-kun.”

P-chan🎃 glided forward—and blasted through the intersection just before the light turned red.

“Alright then. Let’s get this journey started… for real this time♡

Shota: “What do you mean ‘for real’!? What was all my effort before this even for!?”

Thus began the true launch of her telekinetic assist. The black cat and witch’s “illegally flying tandem ride” left Tokyo behind, heading into high-speed territory.

____________________________________________________________________________________

【Onto the Expressway】

Once they left the city and entered mountainous terrain—

Despite Ryoko’s telekinetic assist keeping them moving, Shota was starting to show signs of fatigue.

“Haaah… haaah… At this rate… we’ll reach Kofu by evening…”

From behind, Ryoko spoke up:

“Shota-kun, you’re not even pedaling. Why are you tired?”

“It’s… the emotional exhaustion! Shame, fear… How are you not tired, Senpai?”

“I’m recharging with full-body Shota contact and channeling it into my telekinesis, so I’m totally fine♡”

“What even fuels your telekinesis!?”

“Who cares about that~♡ But yeah, this is taking longer than I thought… That could be a problem…”

Ryoko suddenly raised her hand, eyes fixed on a ramp leading to the expressway.

“Guess it’s time for P-chan🎃 to show her true power. Let’s stretch her legs!♡”

“Wait—what!? Senpai!? You’re not seriously going up there, are you!? That’s… that’s the highway!!”

“It’s fine, it’s fine♡ P-chan🎃’s built for this kind of thing♡”

“No, she’s really not!!”

But before he could protest more, Ryoko’s hand moved—and P-chan🎃 floated gently upward, gliding toward the highway entrance.

Straight toward the ETC gate.

—The gate didn’t open. But—

“Comin’ through~♡” Ryoko sang as she casually lifted the barrier with telekinesis.

Flashes snapped from the gate’s camera, but every image came out blurry. Ryoko’s micro-level psychic manipulations made them practically untraceable.

“This is… so many kinds of illegal…”

Still dressed as a black cat, Shota clung to the handlebars of the flying P-chan🎃 as they merged onto the highway.

“AAAAAAAH!! A truck!! We’re in the fast lane!! What speed are we even going!?”

He peeked at the speedometer embedded in P-chan🎃’s face.

> 80 miles per hour.

“HUWAAAAA!!”

“Shota-kun, eyes forward! Hold that handlebar tight or you’ll bite your tongue♡”

Teeth clenched, Shota slammed the “Shota Panic Button” on the down tube.

》》》 “Ryoko-senpai! I seriously can’t take this anymore!!”

His pre-recorded voice echoed into the wind.

“Eeeeh~? Didn’t catch that♡”

Ryoko clung even tighter to his back and whispered into his ear:

“This is what we call a grown-up witch’s express delivery♡

And so, the high-speed cycling (??) of Pumpkin-chan🎃 No.1 began.

A black cat, a witch, and a giant pumpkin.

Today, once again, something truly unseeable was speeding down the Chuo Expressway.
