Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 17 It's time to stew
You deserve to be scolded!
Using all his strength, he tightly blocked the black goat's mouth and rebuked its dirty talk. Then, Leon looked up at the still smiling red-haired woman, scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said:
"Um... Director, my sister was quite frightened yesterday and is still in the hospital. If nothing else, can I take a leave this afternoon?"

"Yeah, go ahead! You just completed such a dangerous cleanup mission, it's time for you to take a break."

With a smile, she approved Leon's request for leave. After he left with the struggling sheep's head, the red-haired woman's slight smile disappeared. She then crossed her fingers, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the old ceiling thoughtfully.

Something is wrong...

I had clearly blocked Leon's memory before, making him temporarily forget the content of the work of the Cleanup Bureau. Then why did he know to come to the Cleanup Bureau for help after the badge sounded the alarm?

Also, I had just released a little bit of my charm on purpose, and seeing Leon’s appearance, I was indeed moved, but why did he behave so normally this time, as if he had not lost any memory?

When she thought of this, the red-haired woman's eyebrows raised slightly, recalling a small detail that she had previously overlooked.

Yesterday afternoon, when this little guy came over and wanted to join the Cleanup Bureau with his own "abnormality", he did not immediately tell us about his ability. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before saying that his ability was to forcibly obtain intelligence...

"Haha, interesting."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the red-haired woman reached out to pick up the feather pen in the water bottle, then opened the drawer and took out Leon's file, found the [Intelligence Acquisition] in the ability column, picked up the pen and drew a small question mark on it.

Careful little guy~What secrets are hidden in your heart?

……

[You encounter an incomprehensible special existence, the colored badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" is activated, your cognitive boundaries are expanded, and you gain some information about this existence]

[Name: Love without Memory (Forgotten, Whisper)]

[Appearance: No entity]

[Ability: When someone develops feelings of love, affection, respect, etc. for the host, the host of this anomaly will gain the ability to shield memory, temporarily blocking a short period of memory that the other person has in the short term.]

[Price: Among the three loves of parental love, child love, and partner love, you will never be able to obtain one of them. If someone develops a corresponding love for the host of the anomaly, they will immediately lose all memories of this love.]

[File: This anomaly is in the possession of Olivia, the director of the Sixth Branch of the Cleanup Bureau. She has no parents, no lover, and no children, so it is impossible to determine which of her loved ones she has lost.

In addition, the last recorded use of this anomaly was during the Red Moon Descent event in 1794.

Olivia, the head of the Sixth Branch, disguised herself as a singer and used public broadcasting to broadcast songs on a large scale, which deceived a large number of Moon People into loving her. She blocked the memories of more than 70,000 people in one go and completely thwarted the Moon People's plan to descend.]

[Evaluation: Extremely powerful ability, but the price to pay is also quite heavy]

[Infiltration value: 7]

[Through your own observation and induction, you have obtained a lot of information about "Love Without Memory", and the special-colored badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" has been activated.

Since you understand the rules of "Love Without Memory", your resistance to this abnormal object has increased significantly, and you can now block the general impact.]

……

I see……

Looking at the new abnormal object information that suddenly popped up when the red-haired woman grabbed his right hand, Leon, who was standing at the door of the director's office, couldn't help but nodded with a look of realization.

No wonder I forgot the content of the work of the Cleanup Bureau. It turned out that the relevant memory was temporarily blocked.

According to the "rules" that Black Goat told him, the more "truth" a person knows, the more likely they are to be found by the abnormal. The director temporarily blocked these memories, probably because he was worried that he would encounter danger when he was unable to protect himself. But one reason was that he was not "touched" at the time, so he was not affected much. In addition, the badge heated up and warned him later, which gave him a disguised "reminder" from the out-of-control infected person. Only then did he break the blockade and regain his memory.

But I can actually say this to myself, why should I...

"Leon?"

A soft voice calling interrupted Leon's thoughts. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, but felt his eyes were shaken violently. A tall and beautiful woman in a beige skirt was standing at the other end of the corridor, smiling at him gently.

Different from the pretty yet dangerous red-haired director, the tall beauty's beauty is an almost non-aggressive one. Although her figure is tall and slender, she has the voluptuous body that is unique to women.

Her skin was so white that it seemed to be soaked in jade, and her delicate facial features gave off a sweet and peaceful aura that made people want to get closer to her from the bottom of their hearts...

"Thank you for yesterday."

The gentle woman seemed to be very familiar with Leon. After saying hello, she walked over lightly with the folder in her arms, stood in front of him and asked with a smile:
"Has the director finished talking to you? I want to hand in a report on another solo mission. Is it convenient for you to come in now?"

"..."

What happened yesterday, the solo mission, knowing me... Could it be that you are the bandage... No! Are you Emma-senpai? !

The difference between the reliable senior who wore a beak mask and was covered in bandages yesterday and the tall and beautiful lady with gentle eyes and eyebrows in front of him was really big. Leon didn't react for a while. He paused for a moment before hurriedly making way for the door, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Convenient! Of course it's convenient! The director and I have just finished talking, sorry to block you."

"it does not matter."

After changing her clothes, Emma, ​​whose appearance had improved explosively, smiled and then said a little embarrassedly:

“Well, I have to go on a mission in a few days. When I come back, can you do me a favor?

Don't worry, I can guarantee that you will not be in any danger by then, but you may be a little tired..."

"it's okay no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Leon immediately became serious and promised seriously:
"You risked your life to save my sister yesterday, so no matter how tired or hard it is, I will definitely do my best!"

"Haha, then thank you in advance!"

The corners of her plump and delicate lips curled up slightly, and after smiling at Leon again, the bandage girl...Emma pushed open the door and walked into the director's office.

Watching her slim figure disappear through the door, Leon couldn't help but be shocked.

My goodness... If the voice wasn't the same, I wouldn't have recognized him! The difference is too big! If...

"I wish all the bedbugs on my bed were as pretty as her. They would bite me all they wanted, and they wouldn't even make a sound even if they killed me... Boy, is that what you think?"

"..."

After receiving Leon's speechless look, the black goat grinned and sneered:
"Haha, we advise you not to be so naughty. Her child is already several years old! You have no chance~ You'd better give up as soon as possible!"

(ーー゛)
What opportunity or no opportunity... I was just shocked by the huge difference between her and yesterday, and I was a little afraid to recognize her for a while, okay? Why do you always think about that?

Also, how did you survive until now without being beaten to death with your annoying mouth? Do you think the soup you stew tastes good?
