Infiltration mission

Melisha scowled as she uncapped Daria. "I hope your roots get damaged, leaving you with no choice but to shave it all off."

"My, you must get great reviews," Daria growled as she got up and stared at herself in the mirror.

Her hair had been cut to shoulder-length and was now completely blonde along with her eyebrows. Despite Melisha's bald fetish, it was clear she could be a talented stylist when need be.

"And may I inquire the nature of this makeover?" Melisha asked.

Daria refused to elaborate, simply replying with, "Hi-mi-tsu."

Melisha decided not to press, and allowed Daria to leave. Once Daria left, she hid out of sight before warping to the secret puzzle cafe in Sapporo. It was just before 8 in the morning, meaning the cafe was currently closed. Yet despite that, there at the counter was Doraaki.

"Well hey maestro. You going back to school?"

Daria chuckled and shook her head as she approached "Doraaki". "I'm surprised the hotel let you in with that poor acting, Ina."

"Doraaki" smirked and ripped off her disguise, revealing herself to be none other than Ina Kirikawa.

"I act when it counts. So, you serious about going in yourself?"

Daria affirmed the fact as Ina sighed and shrugged. "Well, at least you look the part. So can you make yourself sound a bit younger?"

"This sound good?"

"Wow, you'd make a great voice actress with that range. Hmm, so what personality you going for with this character?"

Daria and Ina spent the next few minutes hammering out the kind of person Daria was to portray. Once Ina was satisfied, she dawned a disguise in the blink of an eye.

"And that's supposed to be?"

"I'm your mother now, young lady," Ina glared as she adjusted her glasses.

"Even though I'm older?"

"The time for jokes, has long since passed, Marianne. Now, we have quite a bit of work to do in order to get you transferred into Midorimori college."

Assuming the role of Aoi Graham, mother of Marianne Graham, Ina had opted to go for the standard businesswoman look, sporting a black businessuit and shoes along with glasses and long black hair, tied up in a bun. Daria, posing as her daughter, Marianne Graham, was to be a transfer student from America, seeking to play on the prestigious Midorimori women's basketball team.

The main target of this infiltration was the team's coach, Slick Suou. Slick was a former pro NBA player that was said to be one of the sport's greats. After announcing his retirement and moving to Hokkaido, he married and assumed the role as coach of one of the local universities in the area. And that university just so happened to be Midorimori. Within a few short years, the college's women's basketball team reached international fame. Now the college was a top destination for aspiring female basketball players worldwide.

However, there were many unsavory rumors surrounding Slick. Many alleged he was a ruthless womanizer and would force girls to have sex in order to guarantee their spots on the team. Worse, many refused to act on them out of fear of Midorimori losing it's prestigious status. As for why Daria was seeking to make contact with him, that lied in his relationship to Doraaki.

Back in high school, Doraaki got into a tussle with Slick's daughter, Mari Suou. As a result, it quickly landed her in hot water with Slick. She was given an out in the form of becoming Slick's bitch, but naturally refused, resulting in Slick fabricating charges not just against her, but also her family, sending them all to prison.

By chance, Doraaki was sent to the same juvenile detention facility Tenju was being held in, resulting in her becoming cellmates with her, and subsequently meeting Daria. She didn't posses a great talent for chess, but Daria felt that she could at least serve as an SPCM if she raised her elo to at least 500. She ended up reaching 700, and was granted the position.

However, Michiko was also aware of her past, and as a result, the losing condition she imposed on Doraaki was to make her become Slick's sex toy. Ever since Doraaki was freed from prison, both Slick and Mari continued to slander her. Mari even took up chess, and would constantly harass her at her secret puzzle cafe, both off and on the chessboard. Despite that, Doraaki toughed it all out. But following her defeat to Michiko, she was now in hell.

As soon as Daria learned of her losing conditions, she enlisted the help of Ina and hatched a plan to try and save Doraaki. Now the day of action had finally arrived.

"Marianne, are you prepared to make a good impression?" Ina glared.

"Come on, mommy. I'm the slam dunking duchess Sacramento. I'm gonna get in, A-ok," Daria grinned.
