"Yo-ho, how are you all doing?" She greeted the Black Moon Iron Cavalry members in the vines warmly, but received no response. Each of them looked at Asagami Fujino with eyes full of hatred, yet they were helpless.
Asagami Fujino maintained her smile and approached April. The latter immediately turned her head away, clearly angry about Asagami Fujino having forced a kiss on her earlier.
"April is so heartless! Just kissed me and now she's turning her back on me Waaah"
"!"
April and the other Black Moon Iron Cavalry members stared in shock at the heartbroken Asagami Fujino. How could such a person exist in the world!?
April, in particular, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She had never seen such a shameless person. It was clearly she who had been forced to kiss, and in front of so many people, yet now she was claiming that April had kissed her. How could such a person exist in the world! April felt so wronged, tears already welling in her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry!" Seeing the tears in April's eyes, Asagami Fujino panicked a little. Like October, she couldn't stand to see girls cry. If it were anyone else, she might even watch the show and cheer, but since she was the one who made her cry, the situation was different. Also, Asagami Fujino remembered that April in the manga was very strong, wasn't she? Why was she crying now after just a little teasing in front of her?
Asagami Fujino's words were useless. Tears streamed down April's cheeks. March, beside her, became even more anxious, but his ability to speak was still stripped away. Asagami Fujino was not in a good mood now, and March successfully caught her attention. She waved her hand at March, and March immediately disappeared.
"March! Where did you take March?!~"
With March's disappearance, April immediately became anxious. The others also looked at Asagami Fujino with anger, but it was useless. They couldn't kill with their eyes, so what could they do to her no matter how much they stared?
"You're not allowed to cry, or you won't see him again," Asagami Fujino said, reminding them that October, who had been sent flying earlier, still hadn't returned.
Hearing Asagami Fujino's words, April immediately stopped her tears: "Where's March?"
Asagami Fujino smiled: "I only said you could see him again, not that I'd bring him back~"
"You!" April looked at Asagami Fujino, gritting her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do. What the other person said was not wrong.
"If you promise me one request, I'll bring him back now, including October~" Asagami Fujino looked at April with a smirk, as if she had April completely figured out.
"What request?" April quickly asked.
Asagami Fujino had already expected April's unhesitating answer. After all, April and March's relationship could be described as childhood sweethearts, but Asagami Fujino wasn't worried. After all, childhood sweethearts never win against a sudden arrival. With March, Asagami Fujino would only need a short time to win April over.
"How about you be my maid for a few days?" Asagami Fujino said. Sakuya was currently in the Type-Moon World taking care of Alice, and after Asagami Fujino got used to Sakuya's care, she felt a bit unaccustomed to not having anyone to take care of her. That's why she thought of having April be her maid. April was undoubtedly a good choice to temporarily fill the maid position before she brought Alice and Sakuya over. She could cook and do housework; although not as good as Sakuya, she was still usable.
"Okay!" Although she was somewhat unwilling, for the sake of March and Brother October, April still chose to agree. Just being a maid for a few days was acceptable to April.
However, others wanted to stop April, but before they could even speak, their ability to speak was stripped away.
0---
"She's already agreed, so stop babbling." Asagami Fujino coldly swept her gaze over the others and then smiled at April: "Since that's the case, I will uphold my promise."
As soon as Asagami Fujino finished speaking, March and October, who had disappeared earlier, reappeared before them. They were no longer entangled by Fujino's vines, but seemed to have fainted, lying on the ground unresponsive.
"What happened to March and October?!" April anxiously asked, looking at the unresponsive March and October on the ground.
..0
Just fainted, no need to worry. You can go check for yourself.
Stealing the Stars in September wasn't worried about this infrared passage at all. She had experienced countless ones before, and compared to those, this one was a piece of cake.
With her flexible body, Stealing the Stars in September slowly advanced through the infrared beams. Soon, she would pass through the infrared passage. Just one last step, and she could leave, enter the storage room, open the glass, and take tonight's target.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened. An infrared beam in front of her suddenly moved, heading straight for Stealing the Stars in September.
"What the hell?!" Despite her surprise, Stealing the Stars in September's movements didn't stop. She leaned back, maintaining a posture that would neither touch the infrared beams behind her nor be hit by the one coming from the front.
"Is it a backup plan for the security system?" She thought this, but Stealing the Stars in September didn't act rashly, maintaining her posture. After a while, when the infrared beam showed no signs of moving again, Stealing the Stars in September subtly let out a sigh of relief and began to move her body once more.
Just as Stealing the Stars in September recovered, the infrared beams started moving again. This time, it wasn't one, but two.
"Which bastard is it?!" Looking at the two incoming infrared beams, Stealing the Stars in September now knew for sure that this was definitely being manually controlled. A smart security system wouldn't go to such lengths.
Since she knew someone was controlling the security system, it meant she had been exposed. Given this, Stealing the Stars in September directly rushed out, but to her surprise, no alarm sounded when her body passed through the infrared beams. What was going on? Stealing the Stars in September didn't think much of it, assuming it was the work of the person behind the scenes. She immediately used the invisible earpiece in her ear to contact Dr. Q.
"I've been discovered. There's someone inside this place. Dr. Q, please help me find out who is controlling the security system in this company right now."
"Alright, Stealing the Stars in September, wait a moment!" Dr. Q's voice came through the earpiece, followed by the clattering sound of a keyboard.
"Stealing the Stars in September, there's no one in your location, and I've checked the security system's records; there are no changes."
"What?!" Stealing the Stars in September immediately stopped. If no one was controlling the security system, then what happened just now?! And why didn't an alarm sound when she touched the infrared beams? Could it be that those who developed the Seventh Sense had appeared?
Stealing the Stars in September frowned. If people possessing the Seventh Sense, as she suspected, were involved, then this would be troublesome.
"Stealing the Stars in September, wait, there's a new development." Dr. Q's voice came through the earpiece, but suddenly, a harsh static sound filled the earpiece.
"Doctor?!" Stealing the Stars in September called out, but all she got was piercing static.
