Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

My aunt, who was wearing dress pants, led the way, followed closely by me, then Miluno and finally Falcon.

The magical girl infiltration team, consisting of four people, seems to be a bit too many, and they're all talking at once.

Aunt Linxi turned her head.

"Quiet down, everyone. We're not here for a branch outing. There are security patrols at night. There must be a lot of people working overtime today to cover what happened during the day. Infiltrating isn't as easy as you think."

She didn't seem to move her mouth? Was it telepathy? Was that also her magic?

I asked, "Will Dad still be in his office at this hour?"

“I asked the people in the association, and your father rarely stays in the office. After all, he is the head of external affairs, and he is busy with social engagements every day, not to mention that he also has to secretly make his own plans... This is it, Miss Miluno, I'll leave the rest to you.”

We climbed up to a ventilation vent.

Miluno nodded, but then quickly opened the louvers of the vent and darted out. After a gust of wind, she stood below and gave us an OK sign.

Using the spy gadgets given to her by her aunt, she "dealt with" all the security cameras in front of her father's office.

To be honest, this really gives you a sense of infiltration!

"Your dad is known for being a loner. There are no other offices on this road in front of his office, so there's no need to worry too much."

As she spoke, Aunt Linxi jumped down into the ventilation duct, then pulled out some new spy gadgets from her pocket...

"Wait, isn't this just wire?"

Only after I jumped down did I see what was in her hand.

"Try picking the lock, or do you have a key to your dad's office?"

"...I'm not against picking locks, but doesn't Auntie have a master key or something?"

"There's no need for that. The doors to these offices don't have much security. The really difficult locks don't require a master key; they're unlocked by iris scans, fingerprints, or something similar... It's open."

In just over ten seconds, the aunt had already pried open the office door lock.

Falcon whispered, "So fast, just like Arsène Lupin!"

"I've picked locks all over the world, this is nothing!"

As a prosecutor, my aunt wasn't exactly a stickler for rules, just like her personality...

"Alright, Miluno, let's go in and take a look."

Miss Miluno didn't talk much, but she followed her aunt's instructions, opening the door a crack and slipping inside. Just like before, she opened the door for us a short while later.

Auntie asked, "Are you sure there aren't any hidden cameras? **?"

“I’ve checked it, and it’s just a very ordinary office.”

Despite what Milno said, her aunt still took out her phone and used the camera function to look for the hidden infrared camera.

After confirming that there was nothing there, I put away my phone and shrugged.

"Okay, it seems there really isn't."

Miluno sighed, rubbing her forehead, "Prosecutor, since we're going to team up, can't you trust me a little?"

"Okay, I need to check the 'Record of Longing' now, please wait a moment..."

The aunt nodded perfunctorily, then took out her sunglasses.

She seemed to dislike being seen with her eyes glowing red.

"...By the way, try not to touch anything in the room. Our principle is to leave nothing behind."

"We know!"

Thump, click—

The little figurine on Dad's desk was knocked over by Falcon's sidearm, fell onto the wooden floor, and broke off its head.

"Oh dear! Miss Falcon, what have you done?"

"...Eh?"

"This is no longer something you can get away with by just acting cute!"

The ornaments on the table were damaged; it was impossible not to notice.

Auntie was still checking the records in the office, her brow furrowing more and more. It probably wasn't because of the doll, but because something had happened here...

"Old Bai? What's going on?"

Auntie suddenly pressed the walkie-talkie that was in her ear.

"Now?"

"What's wrong?" Miluno asked.

"...Secretary Anjie has actually returned; she's most likely coming to the office."

Oh no, this is bad!

"Should we leave now?"

Despite the unfavorable situation, Auntie shook her head, a kind smile appearing on her lips.

"Leave? Of course not, isn't this the best opportunity? The perfect secret room, the location of the secret research institute can be found from her thoughts."

"...What do you see here?"

She looked at me seriously and said, "Spica's analysis is basically consistent. Your father... Chairman Sun is indeed related to this incident. Seruno, you may not be able to accept this, but I will find evidence to send him to jail... I hope you can understand."

"Dad actually..."

So that my mother could do this.

"We'll talk about these things later. We need to figure out a way to confuse Anjie."

------

My father's office was large, but square and without any privacy, so it couldn't hide four people. Therefore, Falcon, whose braid was very conspicuous, took my aunt out of the window and hung on the wall outside. Only Milno and I stayed in the office, waiting for an opportunity to use the speed boost to knock out Secretary Ange so that my aunt could come in and check the "longing" in her head.

We were hiding behind the sofa used for receiving guests, but Milno's height would expose her if she lay flat, so she could only lie on the ground with her legs bent, making it impossible for her to observe the situation.

I heard the clatter of heels on the floor at the door. Peeking through the gap under the sofa, I could see red high heels entering.

The office lights were turned on.

"...Gurgle."

I'm a little nervous.

Without her transformation, Miss Ange poses no threat to us, but as this is her first time attacking humans in magical girl form, she is still a little uneasy.

"Ok?"

Noticing the doll turning its head on the table, the pair of red high heels walked towards her father's desk. As she passed the sofa, Miss Miluno suddenly darted away.

"Ugh." (Muffled groan)

Before I was even prepared, Miss Anjie collapsed limply onto the sofa. I peeked out from behind the sofa and saw that she was indeed unconscious...

"Are you still alive?"

Milno replied coldly, "I struck with the back of the blade of my hand."

"I don't think the concept of 'back of the blade' exists in a hand chop, right?"

As expected of Miss Miluno, her actions were swift and decisive, showing no hesitation even when her target was a human.

"To prevent her from putting up any resistance, let's take her Star Crystal first..."

Miluno reached out to touch Miss Ange's clothes, but before she could make contact, whip-like blood-red threads wrapped around her wrist.

He's still awake. Was he just pretending to be knocked unconscious?

"What audacity! You dare to do this just because you have doubts..."

Miss Anjie was stunned when she opened her eyes.

"...Who are you?"

Of course she wouldn't recognize us.

Because Milno and I looked like the shadowy figures from Detective Conan at that moment.

Chapter Thirty: What if we get discovered?

(Sun Yao)

Just like the principle behind my hair color change, opaque bubble wood that completely absorbs light is black.

Wrapping the entire body in this membrane creates a breathable, pure black bodysuit. Under this bubble wrap, all combat gear is concealed, so tight that even the hair is pressed against the body, ultimately forming two dark outlines, with only the eyes showing a hint of color.

With this level of disguise, unless someone knows us very well, no one can recognize us.

Despite the red thread wrapped around Miluno's wrist, Miss Angelo looked at me.

"...You must be Young Master Sun Yao?"

Wait a minute, how did he know?! I even hid my wand!

"Huh? No, no!"

"What is the young master looking for here?"

She seemed convinced that I was Sun Yao.

"So you really are the magical girl who kidnapped Kagerou..."

"I'm not some kind of magical girl."

She unwound the red thread from Miluno's hand and then sat down on the sofa.

He said calmly, "You don't need to investigate this matter anymore. Don't you have any idea what Chairman Sun is planning?"

Miss Spica said that her father's goal was to wake her mother up.

If there were technology to forcibly control the Star Crystal, she could also become a magical girl and awaken from her long nightmare.

It sounds wonderful, but the price...

What will happen to Kagerou?
