Mmm…
Su Bai let out a soft whimper.
The hands that had been tapping away at the keyboard clearly slowed down.
Her legs instinctively pressed together as a sudden urge to urinate rose from her lower abdomen, dyeing her small face red.
Damn it. I didn’t even drink that much water today. How is this happening? Su Bai cursed inwardly.
Even so, the movements of her hands never stopped.
She simply endured the urge and continued working.
She did not want her colleagues to notice anything unusual.
There were less than ten minutes left until lunchtime.
If she could just hold on a little longer, once everyone on this floor went to eat, the restroom would be empty.
At that moment, Su Bai sat at her desk as if on pins and needles, her entire body uncomfortable.
She subconsciously pushed her lower back forward as hard as she could.
Her legs were stacked in an extremely awkward posture that resembled crossing them, both thighs pressed tightly inward, calves locked tightly against each other, as if she were trying to physically force the urge back inside.
Her hips twisted left and right on the chair, searching for a slightly more comfortable position, yet no matter how she adjusted, she could not relieve the increasingly intense need to pee.
One hand continued operating the computer while the other was anxiously clamped between her thighs, trying to use her hand to stop her body from opening the floodgates.
Things did not go as she wished.
Not only did the action fail to lessen the urge—it made it even stronger.
Su Bai tried hard to keep her expression natural, yet her involuntarily flushed little face, tightly pressed lips, and gradually heavier breathing all betrayed her.
Uuuu… I really want to go to the restroom right now. It’s going to come out…
Inside her mind, Su Bai had already been tormented by the urge to the point that tears were nearly about to collapse.
If an outsider were looking at Su Bai right now, they would surely feel she looked like a curled-up little animal—both pitiable and cute.
I can’t hold it much longer QAQ…
My ability to hold it in has dropped a huge amount compared to when I was a boy.
And it’s so embarrassing. So uncomfortable.
Of course, it was not that she did not want to go to the restroom.
She simply did not dare.
Everything traced back to that day.
The scene of her first day reporting here was still vivid in her memory.
At the time, she had been about to use the restroom.
The moment she reached the entrance of the women’s restroom, several girls blocked her at the door and deliberately targeted her, refusing to let her enter no matter what.
The girl leading them spoke in a mocking, sarcastic tone.
“Oh my, oh my. A grown man like you wanting to enter the women’s restroom? The men’s restroom is right next door. No one’s stopping you.”
“I think this pervert hasn’t reflected on herself at all.” Another girl chimed in, her eyes full of contempt.
Each of them held a phone ready to record at any moment, as if warning Su Bai that if she dared to go in, they would post it online.
It was obvious these people had been sent by someone to deliberately pick a fight with her.
They specifically watched for the times she needed the restroom and blocked the doorway.
They did not dare use direct violence here, yet they used this nearly humiliating method to torment her.
At that moment Su Bai had no solution.
It was a difficult choice either way.
If she entered the men’s restroom then, she would no longer simply be called a pervert—she would truly become one.
But if she did not enter… she could not force her way past these people either.
And so the two sides remained deadlocked there.
How was it finally resolved?
Left with no choice, Su Bai had been forced to take the elevator downstairs and run at top speed to a nearby small supermarket, where she borrowed the employees’ private single stall restroom (a restroom that was not divided by gender).
Therefore, in order to avoid dealing with those people afterward, Su Bai always sneaked to the restroom during the noon meal time, when basically no one would block her.
Time passed second by second.
For others it went quickly.
For her it felt like every second lasted a year.
As lunchtime drew closer and closer, many people gradually stood up and left for the cafeteria.
Su Bai was still waiting.
She would only go once everyone had completely left.
***
“Hah… hah… That feels so good. If I had held it any longer I might not have been able to go at all.”
Su Bai squatted inside the restroom stall and revealed a smile of surviving a disaster.
She could not even stop herself from sighing.
Maybe this is just the bitterness of life. Far more terrifying than those demonic beasts.
After finishing, just as she was about to walk out of the stall, Su Bai suddenly heard footsteps.
Two people had entered the restroom.
She only heard a click—the sound of a lighter.
It turned out to be two women secretly hiding in the restroom to smoke.
Hearing the sound, Su Bai was so frightened she did not dare go out, afraid of being discovered here.
“Did you hear? The Thorn Witch has appeared. She launched an especially massive attack. The association’s C City branch suffered heavy losses.”
“What’s there to be afraid of? No matter how strong these witches are, they’re still just a bunch of brainless idiots. Our association’s magical girls are one stronger than the next. They can only jump around for a couple of days.”
Hearing this, Su Bai was slightly stunned.
Witches had appeared again?
During her time as a magical girl she had encountered quite a few witches, fought them many times, and even exchanged words with them.
Witches were a rare yet extremely powerful and mysterious existence.
They could drive magic power without a transformation device.
No one knew where they came from—only that they seemed to hold deep hostility toward the Magical Girl Association.
Combining her past experiences, these witches had eccentric temperaments, varied personalities, and completely arbitrary ways of acting, entirely unbound by worldly laws or the Magical Girl Association.
Of course, the most critical point was that their strength was extremely powerful.
Even when she had been a Super S-rank magical girl, she still felt lingering fear when facing the eerie aspects of these witches.
Unlike magical girls, who were evaluated according to a five-dimensional system of long-range, close combat, recovery, support, and interference, each witch seemed to master a special ability, and every ability possessed unimaginably wondrous effects.
Even the weakest witches could not have their abilities underestimated.
Moreover, there seemed to be rankings of strength among witches as well, completely different from the F-to-S evaluation system used for magical girls.
The only good news was that most of these witches acted alone, and some even hated each other, which was why the association had been able to suppress them for several hundred years.
“Hehe, that’s true. A lot of things aren’t something small clerks like us can casually worry about.”
“Done smoking. Let’s go.” The two women, having fully satisfied their craving, destroyed the evidence and left the restroom.
Listening to their gradually fading footsteps, Su Bai finally carefully washed her hands and then walked out of the restroom.
Witches had disappeared without a trace for a long time.
Why had they suddenly appeared again?
An ominous premonition surged up in her heart.
Could something major be about to happen?
Many highly destructive witches with unstable mental states were locked away inside the association.
There shouldn’t be any major chaos.
Unfortunately, she probably no longer had any chance to get involved.
She could barely protect herself now.
It was hard to still think about problems the way she used to.
It was the equivalent of worrying about things that had nothing to do with her.
Forget it. Better go eat first.
Su Bai shook her head helplessly.
Although her heart was full of worry, she could only temporarily set it aside and walk in the direction of the cafeteria.
