Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

How could she not investigate the matter thoroughly?

"I understand, Miss."

Mugino Shizuri bowed slightly again, then walked out without looking back.

At Mugino Shizuri's suggestion, the female researcher connected her tablet computer to the large screen on the wall of Shokuhou Misaki's office.

The next second.

The same monitoring screen as the one on the tablet computer lit up on the big screen.

Kihara Tatsuki was still lingering outside the research institute's gate, her eyes occasionally glancing at the surveillance cameras above, her lips seemingly moving as if she were muttering something.

……

"Damn it, they suddenly gave me this notice and assigned me to this place, and now no one is here to pick me up."

"Am I cargo, or a ball, being kicked around by people?"

With her arms wrapped around her chest, Kihara Tsurugi's brows were tightly furrowed, and her leather-shoes were kicking the ground forcefully.

"How much longer do I have to wait?"

A sense of irritability rose within Kihara Tsurugi.

But at that very moment, the previously tightly closed door slowly opened to both sides.

However, there was no one behind the open door.

It was just an empty corridor, devoid of people and with no room doors in sight.

"Does this mean I can go in?"

He muttered this to himself, a slight hesitation appearing on his face.

But when he thought of the order he received from that person in the early hours of the morning, his originally hunched back straightened up, making his already upright chest appear even more upright.

The leather shoes clattered on the ground, making a clattering sound.

Following the signs and the automatically opening doors, Jie Biao Danxi continued forward.

Finally, she stopped in a room that looked rather empty.

This is because the door no longer opens automatically.

"Strange, is this the place? Why is nobody here?"

Chapter 161 Mugino Shenli

"call out--"

With a sharp whooshing sound, a beam of emerald green light suddenly burst out from the melted wall, scraping against the air as it shot straight toward Kibiaki Tsuki, who was staring blankly around.

"laugh--"

The beam of light, which completely missed its target, landed directly on the wall behind Kihara Ayashi. There was no explosion or anything like that on the wall; instead, it seemed to have been melted by the high temperature, turning directly into its most primitive molecular state.

Meanwhile, Kihara Tsuki, who should have been within the range of that beam, was now located more than ten meters away.

"Who is it? It's dangerous."

Cold sweat streamed down Kihara Tsurugi's forehead.

She stared at the spot where the beam of light had just been shot out, her two rows of white teeth grinding together.

She was now incredibly grateful that she had remained highly vigilant before entering the room.

Otherwise, with that sudden attack just now, she would have been completely finished.

"I am merely the young lady's maid, and I am acting on her orders. If possible, I hope you will simply surrender and take this with you."

The other door on the side of the room slowly opened to both sides, and Mugino Shizuri, dressed in a revealing maid outfit, walked in.

The moment Kihara Ayaki saw Mugino Shizuri, cold sweat not only streamed down her forehead, but also soaked the bra strap wrapped around her chest.

"Such abilities, such appearance..."

Jie Biao Danxi's teeth were chattering.

She had already confirmed the identity of the woman in front of her, and it was precisely because she had confirmed the woman's identity that she behaved this way.

"Wait, wait a minute, I came here on orders."

"Shhhh-"

Two luminous green orbs instantly condensed around Mugino Shizuri, and the suspended orbs shot out two luminous green beams that crossed in the air like cannons, sweeping towards Kihara Ayaki once again.

"So, you've already accepted the order?"

"In that case, it seems impossible for you to surrender without resistance."

Mugino Shizuri sighed softly and, as if by magic, pulled a silver card from his pocket.

The next instant, Mugino Shizuri threw the chip in her hand into the air, and the green light cluster floating behind her also detonated at the same time.

The shimmering green light shot directly onto the chip.

"Wait, I'm not that consciousness, I am..."

If just now Kihara Tatsuki felt that the attack only made her feel dangerous and break out in a cold sweat, then...

But now things are clearly not right; the threat of death is now looming over her, and she is going to die.

One wrong move and you could die.

Then, the chip shattered.

Next, a scene that was enough to shock the eye unfolded. What was originally a single linear beam attack instantly split into dozens of attacks, shooting out in all directions like a runaway laser.

The force of dozens of thin electron beams exploding in an instant caused the surrounding temperature to soar wildly.

This is a comprehensive, all-encompassing attack, much like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

(As expected, it's the fourth level, Lv5, 'Atomic Collapse'.)

Kihara Ayaki's pupils contracted sharply. Before she could even explain, she quickly activated her ability and vanished from the spot.

Mugino Shizuri was about 200 meters away from her position. Although her maximum movement distance could theoretically reach 800 meters, that level of precision was not accurate. The precise movement distance she could control was about 180 meters.

Theoretically speaking, a single spatial teleportation would bring Mugino Shizuri into her attack range.

"Om-!"

Another sound of crystal shattering rang out, and a rain of beams of light once again blanketed the sky.

The next moment.

The smell of burning textiles rose, and a beam of emerald green light pierced directly through the winter uniform of Kirigaoka Girls' Academy that Kihara Ayaki was wearing.

"I'll surrender, isn't that enough?"

"Stop attacking. I was ordered to come here to report."

"I'm not here to uncover the secrets of 'Talent Workshop'."

The chip was thrown into the air again, and Keibatsu Tsurugi quickly shouted loudly.

Charge over and attack that monster-level Lv5?

Stop joking. She needed to precisely control her body from 200 meters away to barely dodge the beam attack.

The closer you are to that monstrous superhuman, the denser the beams of light become; there's simply no room for her there.

I'm afraid that the moment I appear somewhere, I'll be riddled with bullets.

Secondly, she could try to slip away.

but……

She was certain that although she hadn't calculated it carefully when she came in, the distance was definitely over 800 meters.

She was completely unfamiliar with the room layout.

She was scared.

What if I move to the wrong place and end up inside a wall?

She didn't want to go through the same thing again.

"Really?"

Although there was a lot of background noise, Kihara Ayaki's voice still seemed to reach Mugino Shizuri's ears quite well.

The continuous, dense rays did not fire again.

From a great distance, Mugino Shizuri stared intently at Kihara Ayaki with his pale yellow pupils.

"Really, really, absolutely true."

Kihara Tamaki nodded frantically, like a chick pecking at rice.

She looked as if she was afraid that if she slowed down her nodding, Mugino Shizuri would continue her attack.

“Look, look, I have proof here.”

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Kihara Tamaki quickly took out her phone from her pocket.

"Sorry, you still need to take this with you first."

However, Mugino Shizuri simply shook his head, then tossed the bracelet he was holding in his hand toward Kihara Ayaki.

Getting this woman close to her was absolutely impossible.

Although she was very confident in her close combat skills, spatial ability users would be quite troublesome in close combat.

Even if she is just a highly capable person.

Moreover, it would be far too dangerous to allow this woman to meet her master without any restrictions.

"How should I choose?"

Looking at the bracelet that had fallen to her feet, Kihara Tsurugi's eyes held a mixture of emotions.

In her heart, she had cursed Aleister, who had given her the order, countless times.

Suddenly, you were assigned to another person and became their subordinate.

If she can tolerate it and stop being a mentor, changing jobs wouldn't be a bad thing for her.

But why didn't you explain this clearly to your new boss?

How did I end up experiencing something like this?

I almost lost my life.

And after what just happened, how could she possibly feel comfortable carrying that thing?

Even though she had never seen such a device before, just from what Mugino Shizuri said, she could guess that it was definitely used to restrict her abilities.

I still have my abilities to rely on, and I was already in such danger, almost losing my life.

Without ability, one becomes completely at the mercy of others, like a fish on a chopping board.

"Does this mean they agree?"

It was quite sudden. From Mugino Shizuri's perspective, Kihara Awaki Tohsaka's raised arm naturally fell down, and then she picked up the bracelet from the ground and put it on her wrist naturally.

Then, Kihara Tamaki slowly walked towards her.

Mugino Shizuri was somewhat shocked by Kihara Awaki's honesty, but since Kihara Awaki was already wearing the bracelet, she had nothing to fear.

The bracelet has no special function other than releasing special interference waves that target the brain's computing ability.

Now that Kihara Tatsuki has brought it, she has nothing to worry about.

However, as Kihara Ayaki got closer and closer, when Mugino Shizuri finally saw clearly the unique star mark in Kihara Ayaki's pupils.

Then, realizing what was happening, he turned around.

Behind him! The gate had been opened at some point.

Misaki Shokuhou stood outside the door with a smile on her face. She raised one of her fair arms and held something that looked like a TV remote control. The remote control was pointed at Kihara Ayaki, who was slowly walking towards her.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I was too slow."

Mugino Shizuri immediately lowered her head, letting it droop to her chest.
