Time goes back a few minutes.
As the workday ended and everyone was about to leave, Akemi Homura approached Liu Yuan.
"Boss..."
Liu Yuan asked curiously, "What's wrong? I'd like to make it clear that I can't accept any confessions! Office romances and romances with customers are prohibited."
Hearing this, Kisara suddenly asked, "Hey? Then boss, how will you find a partner?"
"Are games not fun, or the Coke not tasty? You actually have the terrible idea of finding a partner?"
Feeling Liu Yuan's shocked expression, Kisara was stunned. "Wait? Boss, you didn't pull any strings, did you?"
Takashima Yuna standing nearby asked curiously, "Pull any strings? What do you mean?"
Liu Yuan pushed Takashima Yuna back. "It means using connections. Also, don't interrupt me when there is something important. Continue."
"Boss, I want to ask for your help. Can you help us eliminate the witch?"
Homura Akemi's mind was in chaos. Tomoe Mami was well hidden with the help of the gender change potion, but Kyubey discovered Tomoe Mami's anomaly and even asked Homura Akemi if that person was Tomoe Mami.
At the same time, Kyubey found another Homura Akemi, and while everyone's attention was on Kaname Madoka, he signed a contract with Miki Sayaka. Kyubey also deployed numerous clones in Mitakihara, making the new magical girl Miki Sayaka overwhelmed.
What confused Homura Akemi even more was that despite telling Sayaka Miki the truth about magical girls, Sayaka still wished to become one. She couldn't understand Sayaka's wish or why she made it in this situation.
Homura Akemi was lost. She doesn't know what to do next.
"Eliminate the witches? Can't you do it with your current strength? Let me guess, is it because of Kyubey?"
Homura Akemi nodded with a complicated expression.
Despite being human and a girl, even the other Homura Akemi with adult thoughts hadn't experienced intrigue and deception. Even with Kyubey revealing the truth, they couldn't outsmart it.
Kyubey's plan was simple: increase the number of witches in the city and prevent other magical girls from coming using his clones. Lyubey tempted Miki Sayaka to become a magical girl and kept fooling Madoka, saying more witches required more magical girls, and that she was talented enough to become one.
Despite Homura Akemi's watchful eye, as a magical girl, she needed rest and could be absent-minded, giving Kyubey opportunities to approach Madoka repeatedly.
Gradually, Madoka wavered.
Sayaka Miki couldn't kill all the witches alone, and even if Mami Tomoe exposed herself, she couldn't handle the sheer number of witches. Kill one, and another would appear, making it impossible to keep up.
"Is that so? No problem, but the spoils from the witches we kill belong to me. Deal?"
"No problem!"
Homura Akemi had sold many grief seeds recently, and compared to money, she prioritized everyone's safety.
"Okay, I'll take your task. Kisara! Let's get to work!"
Kisara, who was holding an iced cola and snacks and preparing to turn on the computer, took off her glasses when she heard Liu Yuan's call. "What's up, boss!"
"I've taken a job. I may not be able to handle it alone. Come with me."
"Ah? No!"
"?
A question mark slowly appeared on Liu Yuan's head. He walked over to Kisara and grabbed the back of her clothes.
"You have to go even if you don't want to. Let's go!"
"Help! The boss is forcing me to work overtime. You're a demon."
Liu Yuan said with a smile, "Unfortunately, even if overtime can turn you into a demon, it won't be a powerful one, you already are a demon. If the money is enough, overtime isn't scary."
Kisara asked in a low voice, "So, boss, do I get paid for overtime?"
"Not a penny."
"Then why do you want me to work overtime?"
"Because I'm threatening you."
"..."
Kisara was completely silent. This was the first time in her life that she saw Liu Yuan directly express a threat like this.
"Okay, okay, boss is the best~"
Liu Yuan put Kisara down and left Takashima Yuna to watch the store.
In Mitakihara City, Liu Yuan didn't expect to be back so soon. But as soon as he returned, he felt the darkness from the witch.
"Oh my god, it's only been a few minutes, and there's another one? Kyubey just wants to force the target to surrender directly. Immortal species are so troublesome to deal with..."
Homura Akemi and her group asked, "Boss, do you need us to do anything?"
"What do you want to do?"
Liu Yuan took out a sword from his backpack. "Terraprisma Trial Version, take it and play with it. And this..."
He handed out several essential sets for summoners, all of which could increase the number of summons. For Terraprisma, every additional summon greatly increases the output.
Liu Yuan giving Homura Akemi this weapon was equivalent to an advance draw. After all, she killed the Empress of Light in a mine cart during the day under Tatsumi's strategy.
But unfortunately, the main boss on her side was stuck in the Flower of the Century, which needed to be found in the rainforest. Homura Akemi was a little embarrassed, unable to find it after two days of searching.
"Terraprisma?"
"You already know how to use it, so I won't teach you again. And we are going to hunt happily today."
Kisara transformed into a demon, changing her clothes into a pink dress, and took out her pink long sword.
"I'll state in advance that I don't want to hunt painfully, I just want to go back to play games."
"It's over, my men have been brainwashed by the game. I have to take you out for a good stroll. How long have you not been out?"
"Ah? Go out?"
Kisara was stunned. She hadn't been out since she started working at the Internet cafe. She in her own world might still be sealed if she returns, so it was better not to go back. Besides, Internet cafes were great: food, drinks, fun, and the chance to tease Liu Yuan when bored.
"See, you haven't been out for a long time, right? Come on! Have fun! You'll get a 10% commission for the grief seeds you hunt today."
Kisara pondered, "Then the question is, what's the use of these commissions?"
"You'll have money when I deduct from your salary, so hurry up and do it."
Despite her muttering, Kisara took out her weapon and prepared to fight. As Liu Yuan said, she had stayed inside for too long and had gained a lot of strength during this time. It was time to test how strong she had become.
