Topa: I'm so damn stupid!

Walking down the long corridor, Sand Gold finally stopped in front of a conference room.

He placed his hand on the doorknob, and his expression subtly changed.

Although the smile was still on his face, it had clearly lost its previous liveliness and looked more like a professional smile.

If you look closely, you can also see a hint of helplessness in his expression.

Can't we have fewer of these boring meetings?

Instead of wasting time, you might as well take a gamble.

Upon entering, one finds elegantly dressed figures seated in the spacious conference room.

"Why are you only arriving now?"

"I almost missed it."

The girl was wearing a uniform and tall boots, with a shapely figure and her fair thighs were particularly eye-catching.

A strand of red hair was mixed in with her short, silvery-white hair.

She had a pair of light blue eyes and was smiling as she looked at the gold dust.

Beside her was a dimensional piggy bank.

Upon seeing the girl, Sand Gold's smile regained a hint of liveliness.

He naturally sat down in the chair next to the girl and teased her half-jokingly:

"I just met a really interesting girl who said she was my fan and even asked me for an autograph."

"She said she's one of your employees, and today's her first day. You can't bully my little fan!"

However, Topa was stunned upon hearing these words.

"A girl?"

"But lately, all the new hires I've had are men, no girls!"

"?"

"That shouldn't be the case. She also said she would invite me to watch the fireworks."

"fireworks……"

"..."

Sandstone and Toppa exchanged a glance, and after confirming that neither of them was joking, they instantly felt a chill run down their spines.

"Buhou!"

"Something's happened!"

Ciallo～(∠・ω＜)⌒★

Not long after, on the rooftop of the Interstellar Peace Company.

Xi Yao sat on the wall by the rooftop, her black pigtails swaying in the wind.

She fiddled with a purple button in her hand while wiggling her fair little feet.

He seemed very happy.

Not long after, the door behind them suddenly burst open.

Sand Gold and Toppa, along with a group of company employees, surrounded the area, all pointing their weapons at the girl sitting on the wall.

Upon hearing the noise, the girl turned around, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

She jumped down from the wall, her face filled with fear.

"Brother Sand Gold, why are they pointing weapons at me?"

"Waaaaah, I'm scared~"

"Who are you? Why are you impersonating a company employee?"

Before Sand Gold could speak, Topa asked with an unfriendly expression.

"Woo~"

Xi Yao seemed frightened by her, and timidly took two steps back, her beautiful eyes misty, as if she was about to cry.

"They were just curious and pretended to be employees to come in and have a look."

"Sister Toppa, Brother Sand Gold, I'm sorry~"

"Xi Yao knows she was wrong, please don't point a gun at her anymore, okay?"

"I...I'm scared."

Seeing Xi Yao's pitiful state, Topa and Sand Gold exchanged a glance, somewhat hesitant.

Could it be... that we misunderstood her?

Things aren't as we thought?

To verify his suspicions, Sha Jin pointed to the Xi Yao doll he had just found and asked:

"What is this?"

"Did you leave this at the company?"

"This is a gift I prepared for everyone."

"My mother always said that you should never go to someone's house empty-handed."

"So, Xi Yao brought everyone's favorite dolls."

"Brother Sand Gold, don't you like it?"

Xi Yao pouted, staring longingly at the gold dust, looking on the verge of tears, appearing very aggrieved.

"I...I like it."

"Of course I like it!"

Sand Gold and Toppa quickly gave an affirmative answer.

No matter how you look at it, Xi Yao is just an innocent and cute girl, not the kind of vicious villain.

And the doll in their hands was indeed just a doll, a fact they had just checked.

It seems we really did misunderstand her.

At the signal from Sand Gold and Toppa, the surrounding employees laid down their weapons and left the area.

"Little sister, trespassing on company property is wrong, you know that!"

"If you're really curious, you can have your family member apply to the company, and once the company confirms, they'll naturally let you in for a visit."

Toppa crossed his arms, put on a stern face, and reprimanded Xi Yao in a serious manner.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yao's eyes instantly dimmed. She lowered her head and sobbed softly:

"Xi Yao no longer has... a father and mother..."

……

It turns out she was an orphan...

I'm so damn stupid!

Toppa opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to comfort Xiyao.

But for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Upon hearing that Xi Yao was also an orphan, Sha Jin immediately felt a pang of sympathy and a sense of guilt welled up within him.

He saw a bit of himself as a child in Xi Yao.

Am I being too malicious towards a little girl?

Sure enough, after working in a company for a long time, you'll naturally start to assume all sorts of dark things about people.

She's just a child, what bad intentions could she possibly have?

After a while, Xi Yao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcing herself not to let them fall.

"Xi Yao knows she was wrong."

"Dad said that if you do something wrong, you should take the initiative to accept the punishment."

"Sister Toppa, Brother Sand Gold, please punish me!"

Good heavens, even though he was so heartbroken, he still knew to take the initiative to admit his mistake and accept punishment!

She's so sensible!

How could we let such a well-behaved and adorable little girl get hurt?

Since she didn't cause any damage and has already realized her mistake, there's no need to punish her.

Sandstone and Toppa exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's intentions.

Sand Gold gently patted Xi Yao's head and smiled tenderly:

"No need for punishment, you didn't do anything wrong."

"A good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them."

Toppa naturally took Xi Yao's hand.

The cold touch and Xi Yao's frightened face made her feel a pang of heartache.

This little guy looks really scared!

Recalling my previous remarks, a deep sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

I deserve to die!

Holding Xi Yao's small hand tightly, Toppa said in an extremely firm tone:

"Don't worry, Xiao Xiyao, your sister Topa will protect you! No one can hurt you, I promise!"

"Thank you, Sister Toppa!"

"Sister Toppa, you're so kind!"

Xi Yao smiled sweetly at Toppa and immediately reached out to hug her.

Feeling the vast expanse of softness before her, Xi Yao couldn't help but let out a satisfied sound.

"Well……"

I never expected that Sister Topa would be so easily fooled.

What a bunch of nobodies!

Hehe~

Topa was a little shy from her intimate gesture, and her cheeks turned bright red.

But she did not stop Xi Yao's actions.

At this beautiful moment, the rooftop door was opened again.

"Wake up!"

As a loud voice rang out,

A white aura shot out from the darkness, passing through Sand Gold and Toppa.

The two of them were visibly stunned for a few seconds, then immediately distanced themselves from Xi Yao with expressions of horror.

This girl is suspicious!

Although she is indeed very cute, as two of the ten members of the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Company, how could they be so easily swayed by her appearance and trust a stranger so readily?

"Cognitive modification?"

"No, it's the power of pleasure."

From the darkness emerged a man dressed in an expensive suit and wearing a top hat.

He stared intently at Xi Yao and said in a deep voice:

"Envoy of Joy, Xi Yao."

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"

...
