Sakura Emma, ​​I'm going to control you fiercely!

But Beibei immediately jumped out of the doll, snatched Shirley's candy in one bite, and then shrank back into the doll's mouth.

The two fell silent for a moment.

Emma tapped the doll's head. She reached out again, opening her palm as if urging it on.

"Give me."

“…Be a little more polite to your senior.” Shirley muttered, then took out another piece of candy and handed it to Emma.

Meanwhile, the security guard standing at the top of the stairs was looking idly at the green plants along the corridor.

At work: The world should be destroyed; After get off work: There's still a little bit of beauty in the world.

As she pondered these random thoughts, she yawned—and suddenly heard a "thud" in her ear.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a candy lying on the ground about 5 meters away.

Security girl: "..."

I find it all very suspicious.

But for some reason, she had a strange idea:

'I *have* to go over and check on that candy, as if it's part of my job?'

Thinking it over, the security guard left the stairwell and walked towards Candy.

Whoosh~

A gentle breeze and the scent of a young girl drifted from behind, but the security guard ignored them completely, as if her world consisted only of that candy.

Until he picked up the candy, and weighed it briefly in his hand...

"What? It's just ordinary candy."

She turned and looked towards the stairwell.

In a daze, I seemed to see a corner of clothing flash by.

The security guard perked up and quickly walked to the stairwell, peering inside.

There was no one there, only the pale light of the incandescent bulbs illuminating the scene.

She blinked, thinking to herself,

"Is it an illusion...?"

After speaking, he turned around to face the corridor and continued standing guard.

"Sigh...I really want to masturbate..."

Her voice echoed in the empty stairwell and clearly reached the shadows on the other side of the wall.

Emma remained expressionless. Shirley, on the other hand, had a flushed face, still reeling from the shocking scene that had just unfolded.

Shirley lip-read her:

[It actually succeeded!]

Emma thought to herself, 'They actually succeeded...'

It seems that breaking into the director's office is truly out of the question...

Yang Wen then controlled Emma to give a thumbs-up, and then used the interaction key to point to the stairs going up.

The two of them went up the stairs together to the seventh floor.

Shirley felt a sense of relief as she watched Emma's steady figure walking beside her.

She accompanied Emma on her infiltration mission, driven not only by the excitement of the unknown and the adventure, but also by her desire to mentor this younger colleague.

Shirley couldn't feel at ease letting Emma sneak around alone. If Shirley were present when she was discovered, she could at least use their "colleague" relationship to plead with the security personnel and reduce the punishment slightly.

But she really didn't expect that this junior beside her had not only done the preparation and intelligence work before the infiltration, but also carried out the infiltration with ease, leaving her completely stunned.

I, as a senior colleague, have actually been holding everyone back.

But Shirley felt a little relieved.

Next, all you need to do is avoid the security personnel who are standing guard with their backs to the stairwell. It's much easier than before…

That's what Shirley originally thought.

Until she and Emma reached the seventh floor.

Shirley suddenly felt a touch on the pocket of her skirt. Glancing to the side, she saw Emma had already taken a candy out of her pocket.

Before anyone could ask any questions, the adorable junior threw the candy down the seventh-floor corridor!

pat!

It landed on the ground, attracting the attention of security personnel.

Sherry: ? ? ?

Emma: ? ? ?

'What are you doing, Your Majesty?'

Didn't they already successfully infiltrate?!

Yang Wen manipulated Emma's body, pulling Sherry along like a rag in the wind, and they went up to the seventh floor together.

Shirley quickly lowered her voice and asked,

"What are you doing...?"

"What..." Emma glanced back at her, then continued on her own.

Shocked, Shirley casually opened a door and left a message:

"Environmental exploration".

After that, Shirley's opinion of Emma completely changed.

Once on the seventh floor, Emma acted as if she were in an empty room, opening and checking every single door.

Her arms moved like a blur, and all the doors were opened and closed in an instant.

If there were books or other materials inside, Emma would definitely enter the room and linger for several minutes, searching through the pages...

They even kicked the bookshelves, claiming it was to check for hidden rooms.

They also pick up some strange things.

A small cake hidden by an employee; an unfinished love letter; instant coffee; a 500 yen note left behind by someone; a potted plant...

Shirley thought of a word:

Locusts are passing through.

“Come here, Beibei. Ah—”

"Ow~"

As Emma spoke, the remains named "Bebe" sprang out of the doll and "ate" all of Emma's belongings in one gulp.

"It's so nice to have storage space," Emma muttered to herself.

Shirley didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod, "Yes, yes..."

In such a shock, Shirley naturally considered the possibility of being discovered.

But Emma seemed to sense something; whenever there were patrolling guards at the door, she would always spot them a step ahead and quickly pull Sherry away to hide.

Repeating this extremely dangerous behavior, they left the seventh floor and went to the eighth, ninth, and tenth floors...

They actually made it through unscathed!

Were these security personnel too incompetent, or were she and Emma too amazing?

During this time, Shirley felt as if she had really become an NPC in a game, stiffly explaining the "settings" to Emma.

"Ah... Emma, ​​you're asking about [Full Bloom]?"

Sherry's lips twitched as she watched Emma rummaging through the secret documents room on the twelfth floor.

【Full Bloom】—Emma stumbled upon this while flipping through a book.

Presumably, it's another game tribute, so Emma decided to ask the humanoid tutorial character next to her—Sherry.

While Shirley was astonished at how Emma always managed to escape detection, she still managed to explain things properly.

"Full Bloom is the ultimate technique for magical girls to fight enemies. It can greatly enhance their strength for a short period of time. Only a small number of magical girls can master it."

"The ability to use Mankai is not linked to strength, but to the [emotion] in one's heart."

"Therefore, only the magical girls with the most intense emotional fluctuations can use [Full Bloom]."

Emma put down her book and couldn't help but wonder:

My skill bar wasn't fully unlocked. Instead, there was a similar skill: [Power of Hope].

In other words, it's a skill that temporarily increases power by reciting specific lines.

Why am I different?

Emma glanced at Sherry and asked,

Where is Shirley?

“Sherry won’t do.” Sherry smiled. “Your Sherry-senpai has very weak negative emotions.”

During their casual conversation, they managed to pass through the seemingly most dangerous twelfth floor without any major incident.

Upon reaching the thirteenth floor, after using the "Candy Lure" technique again to distract the security guards, the two finally arrived in front of an office.

Emma shook her head in a daze, 'They actually arrived...'

Shirley also said what she wanted to say:

"I never thought we'd actually arrive..."

She looked at Emma, ​​whose expression remained unchanged, incredulously.

Shirley was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this junior colleague.

Is Emma an assassin or a magical girl?

With these thoughts in mind, Emma climbed onto the doorknob without any psychological burden or sense of crisis.

Of course, I saved a file before opening the door.

click

Only then did they open the door to the director's office.

The two looked inside.

...I discovered an owl sitting on the desk.

[Owl] is looking at the computer.

And the computer screen was playing...

Bird film.

……

……

The warm afternoon sunlight streamed into the office through the window. A gentle breeze wafted through the curtains, and fine dust particles drifted slowly away, settling on the floor…

Everything was in perfect harmony.

"How peaceful it is."

That's what the warden thinks.

There, a round owl sat on the solid wood desk in the office.

It was wearing a hood, but its face was strangely turned 90 degrees, and its eyes were a straight line from top to bottom.

The warden used magic to put the work documents aside, leaned back lazily in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling with his non-existent neck.

The last task is finished, and there are still two hours left before the end of the workday.

According to reports from the frontline magical girls, it seems a promising magical girl has emerged today.
