Meet-and-Greet

The next few days passed without incident.

The Association officially sealed off Hengyuan Precision Materials Processing Plant, announcing that it was "rectifying safety hazards." All the civilian workers at the plant were properly resettled, compensated, and made to sign confidentiality agreements. No one caused trouble.

Special personnel from Headquarters arrived to take custody of the captured Liberation Faction members.

Because Advanced Crystals were involved, Headquarters took the matter seriously and planned a thorough investigation.

The case against Hengyuan Group was handed over to a higher authority for further investigation.

The Liberation Faction forces that had been entrenched in Our City for years had finally been uprooted.

Old Wei's report reached its seventh draft before it was finally approved.

Everything returned to normal.

In the Branch activity room.

"Everyone."

Knight stood, her expression grave.

"I have a proposal."

Everyone turned to look at her.

"You've all seen how often we've been called into action lately in Our City."

"The concert attack, the Cultural Festival ambush, the battle in the suburbs, and that pillar of light in the middle of the night a few days ago—even though the Association issued statements and handled the aftermath every time, the discussion online has never stopped."

"The citizens are afraid."

"And our duty isn't just to fight."

Knight looked around at everyone, enunciating each word.

"We also have to put them at ease."

"So I propose that, in accordance with Headquarters' Emotional Guidance Program, we hold another public event for the citizens of Our City."

"And this time, I won't be the only one taking part."

"Everyone here will."

The meeting room fell silent for a moment.

"Ooh... so we need to prepare a dazzling stage!"

"Then we'd better plan it carefully. A Magical Girl's entrance has to be gorgeous and grand!"
