Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Kurokawa never expected that this seemingly calm and rational girl would actually report the matter to the police.

He suppressed his anger: "You actually called the police?!"

The girl was being suppressed by him, but she held her neck straight and spoke with a calm and self-assured tone.

"Do you think I would come here alone to deal with people like you?"

She spoke so matter-of-factly and logically that Kurokawa momentarily felt... there was some truth to it.

But now is not the time to admire the other party's caution.

"Idiot!" Kurokawa cursed under his breath. "Do you know that by calling the police, you're dragging your sister down with you! Do you think the truth about her 'part-time jobs' can withstand scrutiny?"

"Sister?" The girl was clearly taken aback, a hint of confusion and hesitation flashing in her eyes. "What does this have to do with my sister? She was just... tricked into signing a strange contract..."

"Just a contract?"

Kurokawa stopped talking nonsense, still holding her down with one hand, while quickly pulling out his phone with the other.

Unlock.

Open the photo album.

Find a video, show it directly to the girl, and click play.

The image is shaky and dimly lit, but it is clearly visible that it is a subway station entrance.

A petite figure in a school uniform, carrying a backpack, was struggling to press the handle of a hydraulic jack, forcefully prying open a gap in the rusty roller shutter door.

Although only her back and profile are visible, her honey-brown short hair and clumsy yet earnest movements...

The girl's pupils contracted.

It's my sister.

no doubt.

Sister, you actually... are doing something so obviously illegal!

"This...this is impossible..." she murmured, her face turning pale instantly.

Kurokawa didn't give her time to process the shock.

He released the girl and took the vibrating phone from the handbag on the ground.

It was handed to her.

"Put it on speakerphone. You should know what to say now."

Kaoru stared at the police calls flashing on the screen, then looked up at the clear image of her sister committing a crime, frozen on Kurokawa's phone screen.

Struggle, anger, resentment, and worry about her sister's situation were fiercely battling in her eyes.

Kurokawa simply moved the phone, which was playing a video, a few centimeters closer to her.

In the footage, Chinatsu even turned her head to look at the camera, her face completely captured, leaving no room for doubt.

Xun's breathing became rapid, and she bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

She abruptly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, all that remained in her eyes was a resolute determination bordering on humiliation.

She pressed the answer button and simultaneously turned on speakerphone.

A crisp male voice immediately came from the phone: "Ms. Suzukawa Kaoru? We have arrived near the station you provided. Please tell us the exact location of the incident."

"No, I'm so sorry... Officer. It was... I made a mistake."

The voice on the other end of the phone: "A mistake?"

"Yes... I thought the other person was a loan shark... but... but it's actually my sister... She owes gambling debts, and the interest is within the legal range... I... I've already clarified things with her. It was all a misunderstanding. I'm so sorry for wasting police resources..."

She spoke quickly, her tone filled with shame and panic, but her logic was generally sound.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft sigh, and then a serious reprimand.

"Ms. Suzukawa, making a false police report is illegal. This time, considering your young age and concern for your family, we will not pursue the matter. However, in the future, you must verify information carefully and not waste public emergency resources so easily. Understand?"

"Yes, yes! I'm so sorry! I understand! I'm really sorry!" Xun apologized repeatedly.

"Okay, this won't happen again." The call ended.

beep - beep - beep -

The busy signal echoed at the quiet factory gate.

Kurokawa did not relax.

He immediately used his wristwatch to activate the patrol drones in the surrounding area, expanding the surveillance range.

Soon, the video feed returned.

An ordinary police car made a U-turn at the station intersection in the distance, its lights flashing, and gradually drove away from this remote industrial area.

Kurokawa's tense nerves only relaxed slightly after the police car completely disappeared from the surveillance footage.

The crisis... is temporarily over.

He never imagined that the video he had used to keep Chika a secret would be used on her sister.

However, just as he exhaled half a breath—

Suzukawa Kaoru, who had been keeping her head down and silent, suddenly had a flash of resentment and determination in her eyes!

Like a small animal driven to the brink of despair, she twisted her body without warning and grabbed the phone containing video evidence from Kurokawa's hand!

She even tried to steal it!

Kurokawa's eyes turned cold, and he was about to block—

Swish!

The patrol dolls, which had been waiting for a long time, darted out from the shadows on both sides of the gate!

Kurokawa noticed them and prepared to stop them: "Wait a minute—"

But it was too late. Having already received the order, their mechanical tentacles shot out with precision.

Sizzle—!

A slight popping sound from an electric current.

The two tentacles struck Suzukawa Kaoru's unsuspecting neck and lower back almost simultaneously.

"Well--!"

Xun's body stiffened abruptly, her pupils dilated instantly, and all her movements came to an abrupt halt.

A sharp, tingling, and numb sensation, along with a brief feeling of weakness, swept through her entire body. Her legs went weak, and without even uttering a sound, she fell straight backward.

Kurokawa reached out and caught her limp body, preventing her from falling directly onto the hard concrete ground.

The girl's eyes were closed, and she had lost consciousness.

Kurokawa looked down at her pale yet exquisitely beautiful face.

A sigh.

This is... even bigger trouble.

He had originally intended to have a proper conversation, but this time he completely stunned her. When she wakes up, she'll probably start nagging again.

"What should I do next...?"

Or, why don't we call Chika over and have her take her sister back and give her some good advice?

But after thinking about it, Kurokawa rejected the idea.

Chinatsu had been trying to keep it from her younger sister, and she probably hadn't said anything yet, but her sister had discovered some clues herself.

This reminds me of Chika's intense reaction to the idea of ​​telling her sister the truth.

If Qianxia takes it back, she will definitely continue to try to hide the truth.

At that time, the conflict not only did not decrease but increased, and it might even bring greater trouble.

Although the girl acted impulsively this time, no substantial damage was caused.

But who knows what will happen next time.

Thinking of this, Kurokawa's eyes darkened sharply.

He gave orders to the two patrolling puppets behind him.

"Tie her up, gag her, and take her next to the flesh-containing cages. Then keep a close watch on her and don't let her escape."

Two patrolling dolls, each about half a meter tall, nodded obediently and immediately tied up the girl, preparing to take her to the shelter on the lower level.

He and Qianxia risked their lives to finally get the company back on track.

But now this girl almost ruined everything.

I have to vent this anger properly, no matter what.

Of course, this was also one of the quickest ways for her to understand her sister's job.

As for him?

He also made plans to have dinner with Yingzi tonight.

By the time he gets back, this girl should have calmed down by now, right?

But when he returned after dinner...

He suddenly realized that the punishment might have been a bit too much...
