Prison Visit

That night.

The Association's staff members gradually left work and began their journey home.

The staff responsible for the night shift also arrived at their posts and did their respective tasks.

Nighttime work is relatively much simpler.

Although there are night markets throughout the city, the number of people on the streets is still much less than during the day. While this makes it easier for some people with ill intentions to carry out their activities, the smaller number of people also allows the monitoring system to react faster and lock onto targets more accurately.

Besides monitoring the city's situation, the remaining task naturally involves writing various reports.

Splash...

The automatic doors to the Association's lobby slid open.

"Hello? How can I help you?"

A girl dressed in a black Lolita dress skipped in from outside the door.

"Hmm~ Something came up~ Um~ Do you know where that Fallen Beast that was locked up here today is?"

The girl stopped in her tracks and looked up at the Association's front desk.

The receptionist frowned.

"Fallen Beast? This is not your place..."

The girl blinked, interrupting the receptionist.

"I have the authority, have you forgotten?"

The receptionist was interrupted, frowned and thought for a moment, then relaxed her brow.

"Sorry, I've been so busy lately I forgot."

"You do have the authority, but we don't know where the Fallen Beast are being held. You'll have to ask Mr. Wei or the Detention Department."

The girl nodded.

"Thank you~ By the way, where are the Detention Department and Mr. Wei located respectively?"

The receptionist pointed the girl in a direction.

The girl skipped and hopped away.

Office.

Old Wei smoked a cigarette while looking at the files on love.

"This is tricky..."

Today he was called away by a phone call, not only to learn that the Liberation Faction were preparing to send more people to the Our City, but also to learn who the Liberation Faction's target was this time.

Magical Girl Love!

The intensity of love is so great that it's hard to go unnoticed.

She appeared suddenly and possessed great power; everyone would want to have her. She is Magical Girl who was born into a high-ranking position.

The Association's Headquarters issued a reminder.

We must find out exactly what happened when Ai lost her parents, and what wish she made.

Love is kind, and the wishes it makes must be beautiful.

However, the methods for realizing wishes are not always pleasant...

The Association was terrified that the desire for love would drive her to extremes, because that desire not only made her Magical Girl in the guise of a male, but also allowed her to leapfrog four ranks, directly reaching the Dawn.

Her awakening was not simply unusual.

Rather, it was entirely unusual.

This caused great concern at Headquarters.

If someone misguides love, it can easily be led to extremes... and this misguided path is not easily corrected, because love's obsession runs deep; it will firmly believe that what it is doing is righteous and will not listen to anyone else.

This kind of thing happened once before with the Association.

That's why the Association Headquarters places such importance on matters of love.

The order came down to no avail.

We must find out everything that happened as quickly as possible and guide love onto the right path.

But...

Something that happened seven years ago, how easy is it to find out now?

Even the Magical Girl stationed in this Our City seven years ago might not know about this, right?

"Sigh... I'll try contacting them..."

Having exhausted all other options, Old Wei decided to give it a try, but just then, his office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Who!"

Old Wei immediately became alert, gripping the pistol under the table with his right hand.

You must knock before entering his door; no one is exempt. This was a rule he established long ago.

"It's me!"

The Lolita girl suddenly jumped in.

A brief look of confusion crossed Old Wei's face before he relaxed.

"What are you doing here so late at night? Aren't you going to sleep?!"

The girl rubbed her hands together, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Hey~ I didn't mean to~ I just wanted to ask that Fallen Beast from earlier in the day some questions, and it was urgent. So I came to you first."

Old Wei rubbed his face, looking a bit of a headache.

"Didn't I tell you? Nobody's allowed to go!"

"Really?"

The girl leaned closer and asked a question in return.

Old Wei's brows furrowed again.

"Except for you, go ahead, but be careful, he's still very dangerous."

Hearing that Old Wei had agreed, the girl finally cheered up.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei. I'll be going now."

"Hmph~ Hmph hmph hmph~ Hmph~"

In the dimly lit passage, the girl skipped and hopped towards the Detention Department.

"Masked Heroine that can't be removed... a love that doesn't believe in love... and a selfish Thousand Blades... Ranger who isn't free..."

"How interesting!"

"Celestial Star... Celestial Star..."

"No threat!"

Bang!

The door to the Detention Department was smashed open by the girl.

"Who goes there!"

Countless rifles were suddenly pointed at the girl.

A hint of resentment appeared on the girl's face.

"It's me! It's me! Why are you all like this!"

The armed personnel in the Detention Department all looked bewildered, then slowly lowered their guns.

"Sorry, Old Wei said the person we're locking up immediately is very important, we were a bit too nervous."

The girl walked up to the speaker, stood on tiptoe, and patted his shoulder, looking rather comical.

"No problem, I forgive you..."

"I have Mr. Wei's permission to visit you in prison."

Upon hearing what the girl said, everyone in the Detention Department made way for her.

Thanks!

The girl waved her hand and continued deeper.

Finally, she stopped at the door of a heavy prison cell.

"Arrive."

Heavy breathing came from behind the cell door, as if some bloodthirsty beast had been locked behind it.

In fact, they are more terrifying than wild beasts.

It's Fallen Beast!

Ding ding~

The girl knocked on the cell door, making a clear, crisp sound.

"Don't bother... I won't tell you..."

"But it's me, not someone else. Can't you even tell me?"

Inside the cell, the panting paused for a moment.

Then, a sneer rang out.

"Old man... your abilities are ineffective against us, have you forgotten?"

The girl stomped her foot angrily.

"I didn't use any special abilities on you, I was just asking you a normal question!"

Tell me!

The cell remained silent for a long time, with only heavy breathing coming through the bars.

"Give me a release..."

"Make a deal!"
