The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Terrorist

However, Chloewe and Mr. Seamus had very few opportunities to speak, and Mr. Seamus had no recollection of the brother-obsessed governor ever saying such things to him.

So the answer is obvious: this is a fake recording that the siscon plagiarized from the idea he used to blackmail him last time!

In other words, based on the content of the recording, Mr. Simo can already deduce what Kosaka, the sister-complex, will say next: "Simo, you've been exposed!"

As expected, Kosaka, the sister-complex guy, abandoned his previous composure and put on an arrogant and smug face, saying, "Symmo, your collusion with Chloevice to embezzle the organization's public assets and your undermining of Amalgam has been exposed!"

Mr. Seamus rolled his eyes. With his experience in making predictions, he continued to guess whether the guy's next sentence was about to put him under investigation.

Then Mr. Seymour heard the sickeningly sweet tone of Kosaka's sister complex: "On behalf of Amalgam, I hereby declare that you have no right to remain silent, and everything you say can be used against you in a court of law!"

Huh? You, you siscon, aren't you a proponent of Chinese style? Why are you switching to Brittany style this time? Mr. Simo was slightly surprised.

However, before Mr. Seamus could even open his mouth to "eat the whale," the sister-obsessed man rattled off a long string of official platitudes like a tongue twister: "Confessing is your only way out, and honestly confessing is your only chance! I advise you to explain all the crimes you have committed at the designated time and place as soon as possible! Don't harbor any illusions! Don't ruin your life! The eyes of the mercury alloy are discerning! The eyes of the masses are discerning!"

This speech, delivered without even taking a breath, caught Mr. Ximo's eye, who patted the brother-obsessed man on the shoulder and said, "Indeed, this is the familiar taste."

Mr. Simo's hand was slapped away, and Kosaka, the siscon, was very dissatisfied: "Hey! Be serious! You're being investigated by the Party's disciplinary body!"

Mr. Seamus chuckled coldly: "You damn siscon, it must have taken you a lot of effort to forge this recording, right? Did you think you could do anything to me like this? It's too sweet!"

"You actually dare to say this is a fake? Look for yourself!" Kousaka, the sister-complex, looked at Simo with a mocking expression and raised her hand.

It turned out that what he held in his hand wasn't an audio player at all, but a video player. The screen clearly showed that while Kurovus was speaking, someone else was shamelessly arguing for their own selfish gain! And that person was none other than Seamus himself.

eh?

43. Memory impairment is not a type of intermittent mental illness; therefore, Mr. Seamus cannot be acquitted.

There's a saying: Radio makes people smart, television makes people stupid.

Why is that? One explanation is that radio only transmits sound, while television transmits not only sound but also images.

When there is only sound information, the human brain will automatically match these sounds with a variety of rich images based on the brain owner's past experience in order to process this information. However, when images and sounds appear at the same time, the brain and various organs simply accept them.

Mr. Simon did not believe this reasoning at first, because for some disgusting otaku, whether it is only sound, only image, or both, they can fill in the blanks in their minds. And often, while killing tens of millions of brain cells, they also casually eliminate tens of millions of small lives.

It's no exaggeration to say that Japan is number one in toilet paper sales, and the Four-Vegetarian Steamed Goose Heart is not just a traditional dish of the Chinese Federation.

But today Mr. Seamus has come to a realization: the past cannot be undone. Now, Mr. Seamus truly feels incredibly foolish.

Even though she didn't remember Chloe saying those things to her, why did this siscon have such a video?

Could it be a later recording? Mr. Seamus thought of a possibility.

After all, he had used this technique to trick the brother-complex guy not long ago, extorting some pocket money from him. If the brother-complex guy really used this trick against Mr. Seamus, it would truly be an eye for an eye.

So, the methods of this siscon are nothing more than secretly filming Mr. Ximo and the spy Kurovice, then coercing Kurovice to record lines according to the siscon's pre-set script, and finally combining the audio and video together, using such despicable means to achieve his goal of framing Mr. Ximo, the hope of the nation and the pillar of the party and state.

This is truly heinous, beyond description, and utterly ungrateful—a case of cursing the cook after having eaten his fill! Without Mr. Seamus's teachings, could this siscon have learned such sophisticated blackmail techniques?

Now they're actually using Mr. Seamus's "techniques" against Mr. Seamus! That's outrageous! They have absolutely no professional ethics!

You shameless siscon, Kosaka, how dare you steal Mr. Seimei's patent! And the worst part is you won't pay! What's the phone number for the Intellectual Property Office? Is no one going to do anything about this? Is there no justice left?

Mr. Simo thought he had uncovered the truth behind the "dead sister complex" video and was about to announce the case solved, telling everyone: Mr. Simo is innocent, framed, and a good comrade, while Kosaka the "dead sister complex"? So evil! So evil! His conscience is utterly wicked! You guys can't believe the "dead sister complex's" one-sided story.

But in the blink of an eye, Mr. Simon, who was always observant, noticed something was wrong again.

Why is it that in the video, Kurov's lip movements are completely consistent with the audio? That's a bit ridiculous.

This doesn't mean that the frequency of the post-production recording and the mouth opening and closing is inconsistent. You should know that professional voice actors can achieve a perfect match between the dubbing and the visuals, down to the second.

However, even animation cannot perfectly match the mouth shape and sound when pronouncing words, right?

This can only mean one thing: Governor Clovis, who is obsessed with his sister, did say these words at some point, and they were secretly recorded by the scheming sister-obsessed person or his subordinates who were spying on him.

Wait, could it be computer-generated?

For example, you could record a segment of Mr. Seamus first, then a segment of Clovis, and then piece them together? That's not impossible.

But, but why does Mr. Seamus find this scene so realistic and familiar the more he looks at it... yet he just can't remember it?

This feeling is just like before...

"Forget everything, and all is emptiness!"

Two figures suddenly emerged from the wall behind Simo, as if the spiderweb-covered wall of the infirmary was just an illusion.

Before Mr. Seymour and Kousaka could react, they were struck by the magical light, and their four eyes instantly lost their color.

The people who came through the wall were Louise and Tabasa. In fact, at the same time that Simo and Kosaka walked out of the classroom, Louise and Tabasa had quietly followed them. And now, in the eyes of the amalgam and the other members, the "Hideyuki" who was confronting "Nagisa Shiota" for Simo was just a mirror image created by Irukuku with magic.

Louise's mistakes can be addressed later, but the surveillance of Mr. Seamus must never be relaxed, after all, Louise and the others still vividly remember the experience of the previous rebellion.

"What should we do?" Tabasa asked, staring at Louise. She wasn't asking Louise what to do with Simon.

Louise hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied readily, "This time it was my mistake."

Previously, in the school courtyard, although Louise had altered Simo's memories, she hadn't had time to alter the memories of the others.

According to the rules, after modifying Seamus's memories, the memories of the people involved in the events within those memories must also be modified. However, in the past, Louise mainly modified the memories of events between Mr. Seamus and herself, and the only person involved was herself.

Why say only one person? Aren't there other people, like movie theater staff, restaurant servers, and others who saw Seamus and Louise on their date? Shouldn't their memories be altered?

If it were when she still had world access, the cautious Louise wouldn't mind making a few minor changes, but now she doesn't have the time or the power.

Yes, that's right. They saw some things, but there was no need to change them. Although Seamus was a special existence in the eyes of Louise and others, and although Seamus was worth tens of millions of dollars in bounty in the eyes of Amalgam and Brittany, in the eyes of ordinary people, wasn't he just a kid who came out to play with his friends?

Although this kid is a bit prettier, and the kid next to him is also a bit prettier, would a normal person just go up and chat up a stranger for no reason? Go ask Mr. Seamus: Where did that ridiculously pretty cross-dresser who usually comes with you go?

You should be applauding! Being single like this clearly indicates a breakup!

Crossdressers are already a scarce resource; once they're used, they're gone forever, and these two have even been involved in infrastructure projects! Does this leave any room for otaku to survive?! So this is a good, brilliant division!

Anyone with a modicum of emotional intelligence wouldn't approach Mr. Seamus at this moment to ask about the little angel. At most, a few clueless thugs might step forward and ask, "Miss, could you leave your phone number?"

Then Mr. Ximo dragged him to the latrine, stuffed him into the toilet, and fed him a bomb.

However, this time was different from the past.

44. If the former magical girl Homura had read Drucker's *Management*...

Louise knew about Mr. Seamus's secret meeting with Clovis in order to "do it" with the little angel in broad daylight.

No, rather than knowing, it's more accurate to say she was completely invisible and watched the entire argument unfold.

Afterwards, when modifying Mr. Seamus's memory, Louise naturally erased this memory as well, and as for Clovis, she asked Henrietta to handle it.

Because this memory is also related to himself; otherwise, Mr. Simon, who has "returned to a blank slate," would be wondering: why would he, a straight man, ask the governor of Japan, who is a sister-obsessed man who threatens the 11th district, to concoct a love bill for a construction team?

Louise thought that this would allow her to start from scratch again, but even with her mastery of magic, she could not detect that a hidden high-definition camera was working silently 200 meters away from the scene where Mr. Seamus and the secret agent Clovis were.

Louise had no idea that inside Clovis's thick cloak, a recording pen was faithfully recording the governor's speech, which was clearly influenced by his sister-obsessed nature.

Yes, the scene where Clovis went to see Mr. Seamus, as well as everything that happened during the secret meeting between the male members of Amalgam, was a carefully planned deception!

As the top leader and second-in-command of Amalgam, the order of their public personas is that of a die-hard siscon and a perverted siscon. However, in the logistics team, this order is reversed. How could they tolerate small factions, cliques, or groups like Mr. Simo within the organization that obey orders but not orders?

Moreover, this small group was so audacious as to extort money from two big shots by referring to the case of the missing funds of the Kosaka sister-complex, and even tried to play both sides by referring to the impeachment case of the perverted sister-complex. This is truly intolerable!

So the bigwigs on both sides, along with their respective underlings, discussed it and finally established a policy: the internal strife could stop, but Xi must die!

And so, what happened next was that all the male harem members held a meeting, using various flashbangs and displays of affection to provoke Simo, the single guy, in the meeting, and then the sister-obsessed governor set a trap for Simo.

Therefore, it's useless for Louise and Henrietta to only brainwash Simo and Clovis, because all the male members of Amalgam know about this.

Therefore, when the sister-obsessed man used the video to force Simo to comply, Louise and Tabaça, who were standing by, had no choice but to step in and stop him.

If Simo were to be triggered by Kousaka Kyosuke and remember something, that would be disastrous.

Now, before the situation worsens, Simo and Kyosuke Kosaka have been brought under control, but it's not over yet. Next, they need to eradicate the memories of the Amalgam members at specific locations, and at the same time, they need to find the person responsible for this accident.

Although there are only a few members in the Witch's House, and although Louise and others see each other all the time, assigning responsibility for anything is purely a matter of having nothing better to do; it's a bureaucratic, mechanical approach.

But, of all people, Homura had the misfortune of reading a book by Peter Drucker on the recommendation of a female manager of the baseball team.

"Inefficient and incompetent, how can you call yourselves witches?" At a meeting, Houmura held a management principle in her left hand and pointed at the concept of a company, lecturing everyone.

Louise and the others, born in the late Middle Ages, were completely bewildered: What's a company? Can you eat it? Huh? Performance-based pay? What's that all about?

Under the barrage of professional terms such as "clear responsibility," "opportunity cost," and "operational efficiency," Louise and the others were completely bewildered. The only thing they knew was that Master Homura had announced that the Witch's House was going to undergo a systemic reform.

Louise and the others couldn't figure out how to reform, just as they never understood why Master Homura insisted that collective partnerships were bad and that corporations were the most scientific approach.

All they knew was the various meetings at the Witch's House: what were the advanced evaluation meetings, the monthly summary meetings, the quarterly work arrangement meetings, the outstanding employee commendation meetings, and so on. In short, there were more and more meetings whose names they couldn't even remember.

If Master Homura finds out about this, Louise, Tabasa, and the others will likely have to submit a report on their work.

Huh? Why are Tabasa and the others here?

Because, if Tabasa and Iluku hadn't blocked Louise in the classroom, and if Tiffany and Siesta hadn't been waiting for Henrietta outside the classroom, then with Louise's vigilance and Henrietta's Legilimency, they could have discovered Kousaka and the others' scheme earlier.

Although, in the end, Louise and her group managed to control Kousaka and Seymour.

But that won't work!

Master Homura demands efficiency! Do you understand efficiency? It's life itself! It's time to be with Madoka Kaname sooner!

Louise and the others could have discovered it earlier, but they insisted on waiting until the last minute to react. This is inefficient, unscientific, and wastes Homura's time for yuri. It deserves criticism and punishment.

Therefore, someone must take responsibility for this! Someone must extinguish the pent-up anger that Houmura has been suppressing due to prolonged inactivity!

That's why Tabasa asked Louise what to do. It wasn't about discussing how to deal with Mr. Seamus and that clueless, sister-obsessed guy.

Instead, Tabassar was asking Louise if they should coordinate with the others to figure out how to get past their master. After all, nobody wants to write a 100-foot-long letter of apology! Even using an automatic magic pen would consume a lot of magic!

Louise's statement that it was her own mistake meant that she would take full responsibility in front of Homura. After all, the concept of six people each writing a 100-foot-long apology letter is vastly different from six people writing a 100-foot-long apology letter together.

As the saying goes, where there's a policy, there's a countermeasure. Even Master Homura couldn't stop Louise and her friends from embodying the spirit of "unity, love, and cooperation," could she?

Of course, Louise wasn't left without compensation; her previous act of sneaking ahead in increasing Mr. Seamus's favorability would no longer be investigated.

Louise and Tabasa nodded knowingly.

Then, as if remembering something, Tabasa grabbed Louise's hand and said with her expressionless face, "Go without worry, Simo will take care of you."
