They've really come knocking on our door?

So she quickly returned to the teddy bear in Goto Ai's hand: "It's Sanzenin Sora and Miyamizu Rin who came."

"Ah... As expected, Sanzenin betrayed me and is coming to cause me trouble with Miyamizu Rin."

Without thinking twice, Goto Ai jumped off the building and ran away.

With her agility of 100, Goto Ai ran like a pink gust of wind, disappearing into the end of the street in an instant.

Is no one home?

Sanzenin Sora rang the doorbell and stood at the door for a long time without receiving a response.

"That can't be right. Could it be that Goto doesn't want to open the door for me?"

Sanzenin Sora simply called Goto Ai, but the call was quickly disconnected.

"She's really throwing a tantrum at me..."

"Let me try."

Bai Miao asked Gong Shuilin to hand over control of her body to him.

"What do you want to do? Just break down her door?"

"You underestimate me too."

【unlock】

Bai Miao opened the lock on a door that wasn't even a security door in just one minute.

Knowing that Bai Miao was now in control of the body, Hu Muyao's expression changed as he looked at Bai Miao from the side.

Why would he do this?

Bai Miao noticed Hu Muyao's gaze but didn't offer any further explanation.

The more you explain this, the less clear it becomes.

Carefully entering Goto Ai's house, Sanzenin Sora went straight to the second-floor bedroom, where she saw the wide-open window.

There were fresh footprints on the lawn below the window.

"The person has escaped."

"Ran?"

Bai Miao had no idea what this Goto Ai was.

A doorbell scare someone so much that they jumped out of the window and ran over the wall.

However, when the group climbed over the wall, they did not find Goto Ai on the street.

“This street is at least a kilometer long. It only took us two minutes to get here from the time we rang the doorbell. The fact that Goto Ai could run away in such a short time shows that she does have a speed that ordinary people do not possess.”

"They've disappeared, how are we supposed to find them?"

Sanzenin Sora was at a loss.

Goto Ai has two legs, so she can decide where she goes.

"There's no other way, I'll have to give it a try."

Which way do I go to find Goto Ai?

Bai Miao began searching for a way.

Then the pathfinding radar went haywire.

The direction is changing quite quickly.

Does Goto Ai teleport? How can she be so fast? It even made my pathfinding skill fail!

Sanzenin Sora wasn't worried about her friend's safety, since having the abilities of a magical girl meant she could protect herself without any problem.

But dragging it out isn't a solution, is it?

What if she doesn't even come to school?

An idea suddenly popped into Sanzenin Sora's head.

"Gong Shui, do you consider yourself a trustworthy person?"

Miyamizu Rin was somewhat puzzled by the question, but still replied, "Of course, I'm not a person who goes back on their word. Why are you asking this?"

“I was thinking… if one of us gets three gems, could we pinpoint the exact location of the last person? Otherwise, if someone knows they're at a disadvantage, they'll definitely hide, right? Without a proper method of finding them, we'll never be able to collect all four gems.”

Bai Miao understood what Sanzenin Kyō meant.

This is because they want to collect three gems to find Goto Ai.

However, the risks involved are also obvious.

Can someone who possesses three gems resist the temptation to collect four?

Once you find Ai Goto, you can completely break the agreement and forcibly collect all four gems.

"I'm giving you my jewels. Can you guarantee you'll find Goto Ai and persuade her to exchange them with us?"

Miyamizu Rin was shocked by Sanzenin Sora's suggestion.

Perhaps it's also because their gems don't conflict, so there isn't much animosity between them.

But how much self-confidence does one need to say that?

Miyamizu Rin thought to herself that it was definitely impossible for her to hand over the gem.

However, since Sanzenin is willing to take this risk, there's nothing more to say.

"Of course I have no problem with it... but are you sure you want to do this?"

“Then we can wait until the next day to see if Goto Ai will come to class, but based on my understanding of her, I’m afraid she won’t show up for many days.”

"Alright, I promise I'll return the gem to you after I convince Goto Ai."

Miyamizu Rin said this, but in her heart she was calculating whether or not to get the four gems.

Faced with the opportunity to collect all the gems, Miyamizu Rin really finds it hard to give up.

"If I hand over the gem, the mission will be considered a failure, right?"

Bai Miao suddenly realized this.

Sanzenin Sora's idea was wonderful, but Hu Muyao had no way of getting Sanzenin Sora to obediently hand over the gem.

What are the criteria for determining whether this copy operation has failed?

Does the system take into account the scenario where a gem is taken and then returned?

Doesn't this look a bit like exploiting a bug?

If the knocker hasn't left after the gem is stolen, can they interfere with the magical girl who got the gem?

Every step carries unknown risks.

Hu Muyao also appeared and suggested, "Why don't we try exchanging gems first and see how our condition changes?"

"I think it's a good idea. We can also use this opportunity to simulate the process of the four people exchanging gems in the future."

After reaching an agreement, both parties decided to first take the gem out and place it on the ground, and then exchange positions to pick up the gem.

After removing the gem, Miyamizu Rin's stats dropped to the level of an average high school student.

Neither Agility nor Strength exceeds 5 points.

It looks quite shabby.

Surprisingly, his mental strength is 8 points, which is much higher than that of an adult.

After obtaining the gem, its attributes changed again.

His mental strength is 50, but his physical strength has reached 100.

Frugality gems are indeed more inclined towards power.

"Want to transform?"

However, contrary to expectations, after obtaining the thrift gem, Miyamizu Rin transformed into that same bright red outfit.

"The transformation isn't determined by the gem?"

Is the jewel merely a medium for transformation...? In reality, it's up to each magical girl to decide?

"Do you feel anything is wrong when you use it?"

Miyamizu shook her head: "It feels no different from the original Bo'ai Gem when I use it."

Even though the Gem of Universal Love was taken away, Bai Miao remained inside Miyamizu Rin's body without any change.

Hu Muyao was also subsequently transferred to the Bo'ai Gemstone.

According to Hu Muyao, the moment he encountered the Gem of Universal Love in Sanzenin Kyō, he switched from the Gem of Frugality to the Gem of Universal Love.

Bai Miao did not leave Gong Shuilin's body at all.

"Next, let's try throwing away all the gems and seeing what happens..."

Bai Miao felt he was making a very bold attempt.

Where is the bottom line for testing the limits of dungeon operations?

The two placed the gemstone on the ground and looked at it from a distance of five meters.

Even if there are any anomalies, Bai Miao can activate the Zero Time Lock to forcibly stop time for one second and retrieve the gem.

A few minutes passed, and nothing happened.

Hu Muyao glanced at Bai Miao: "Why don't you go and pick up the two gems... Even if my mission fails, I'll lose fewer points than you."

"Isn't it supposed to be a flat 30 points?"

"Huh? Here, failure means a 30% penalty..."

Both fell silent.

Bai Miao's total attributes exceed 100 points, so deducting 30 points is a lenient approach.

Since Hu Muyao's score was less than 100, deducting 30% isn't too much.
