Back to Daganzo, he immediately put on a single earphone in his left ear.
“There was an intruder, a woman in her 20s wearing a blue shirt. She uses some kind of handgun to use her magic.”
One of Daganzo’s male comrades, who was wearing a suit and was on a different floor, was surprised.
“Handgun? Is she a wizard from another Earth?”
Daganzo realized something; he then took a pocket watch from behind his overcoat and opened it. A magic circle in the shape of a clock hands hovers above this pocket watch and points in a specific direction.
“You're right, use your detecting devices.”
Several of Daganzo's comrades on other floors took out pocket watches from behind their suit jackets or overcoats, then ran from their place. Daganzo immediately climbed over the fallen high racks and shelves blocking his way and ran out of the storage room.
Back to Furano, she ran down the corridor, carrying the Handgun of Spellcaster in her right hand. Not long after, the sound of emergency sirens was heard throughout the building. Furano's expression turned serious.
“I can't be caught in this place. Open inventory.”
A black panel with white writing appears before Furano on the right.
[Inventory]

Furano touched the Armored Cloak image, which was then enlarged, followed by white writing:

[Item details]

As Furano walked at quickened paces, she pulled out her cloak from inside the black panel and then wore it. Several people who passed by looked at her in surprise.
While passing through a quiet corridor intersection, Furano passed a man wearing a suit covered in an overcoat, a tie, loafers, a scabbard attached to the baldric around his waist, and an existence sword he was carrying in his right hand, and was one of the personnel from the Wizards Department of Defense. This man was surprised when he saw Furano, who was also surprised when she saw him. This man pointed his existence sword at Furano.
"Sorry miss, I have to check everyone on this floor, can you show me your ID..."
Furano drew her handgun from behind her cloak as she said.
“Stun.”
Furano fired her handgun at this man and caused him to fall unconscious.
Without Furano realizing it, another man wearing a suit, a tie, loafers, and a scabbard attached to a baldric around his waist had just come from behind Furano. He saw what was happening and was surprised to see Furano using some kind of handgun to use her magic. This man is another personnel from the Wizards Department of Defense; he immediately swung the tip of his sword toward Furano from a distance as he said.

“Stun.”
Light shot from this man's sword and hit Furano's back, which was protected by a black armored cloak, but it did not affect Furano and only surprised her slightly. Furano immediately turned back, followed by the appearance of a black panel with white writing beside her.

The man was surprised that the magic spell he shot at Furano had no effect. Furano's expression turned serious.
“Stun.”
The pattern on Furano's handgun glowed; she then fired her handgun at the Defense Personnel before her; this man then fell unconscious. Furano looked around and ensured the situation was safe; she then ran away from here.
Elsewhere, the magic circle in the shape of clock hands on Daganzo's pocket watch spins because it is experiencing interference. Daganzo was surprised and immediately contacted his other comrades.
“My detecting device is having problems again.”
One of Daganzo's male comrades wearing a suit covered in an overcoat was taking the elevator to the 30th floor where Daganzo and Furano were while looking at the clock hands magic circle spinning on the pocket watch in his hand.
“I'm experiencing interference here too.”
Daganzo's other comrades also experienced the same thing and conveyed it. Daganzo was surprised and stopped in his tracks.
"Then we split up and block the way in and out of the 30th floor. No one is allowed to leave the 30th floor until further instructions."
Daganzo looked around him, then realized something. Daganzo ran away from here as he drew his sword from its scabbard, pointing it towards his front.
“Come, eagle feather.”
Daganzo continued running down this corridor.
Several of Daganzo's comrades who rode the flying broomstick reached the 30th floor and immediately prevented the gathered people from leaving the 30th floor to carry out inspections.
Back to Furano, she ran down the corridor alertly and carefully towards a row of tall framed glass window panes on the side of this building on the 30th floor.
“Open inventory.”
A black panel with white writing appeared before Furano.
[Image of a flying broomstick x1] [Image of a medallion x1] [Image of a glass bottle shaped like an Erlenmeyer flask filled with light green liquid x2]
*(Note: Nine item slots available, five per item type).
*(Tip: Go to the chest in the safe town to store more items).
Furano watched this panel for a moment as she thought.
“Unfortunately I can't use the safe town portal medallion because the town's current situation is beyond Black Cloak organization's control....”
Furano touched the flying broomstick image and pulled it out of the black panel using her left hand.
“Close panel.”
The black panel before Furano vanished. Furano was about to get on her broomstick, but Daganzo came from the corridor in Furano’s right direction; the broomstick he had summoned had reached him, then floated after him in a standing position not far behind him. Daganzo pointed his sword towards Furano.
"That's enough, surrender yourself now."
Furano turned to Daganzo with a surprised expression.
"How did you know I came here?"
Daganzo answered.
“Because this place has the potential to be an escape route for you. Don't try to escape, or I will cast a spell on you. Surrender right now.”
Furano's expression turned serious.
“Before that, let me tell you something.”
Daganzo was surprised; his expression then turned curious.
“Okay, what is that?”
Furano answered.
“I am not a wizard from first or second earth.”
Daganzo was surprised.
“I’m already expected that, from the way you use magic. So you are also investigating our Earth?”
Furano nodded.
“The magic spell in the Book of Dimensional Magic is not ordinary magic. We don't know how far this magic will spread, and how many earths in other universes will be connected. We have to start considering working together to solve this problem.”
Daganzo was slightly surprised and also realized the possibility.
“You are right… we were too busy observing other Earths and deterring intruders and forget that possibility.”
Furano nodded.
“My Earth's Wizards Government will probably take a long time to understand that, so I won't tell them about this book. I took this book to find out more about what kind of danger we are facing, so we can help each other.”
Daganzo was surprised, but his expression then turned doubtful.
"Unfortunately, I still have to arrest you now."
Daganzo pointed the tip of his sword at Furano, surprising her. Furano's expression turned disappointed.
“Sorry, but I can't let you do that.”
Furano takes something from behind her suit jacket, making Daganzo alert. Furano took out a small smartphone and then put it on the floor.
“I'll leave you this, in case you change your mind.”
Daganzo was surprised. Furano ran forward while using her cloak to protect her body. Daganzo looked doubtful; he then pointed his sword at Furano and was about to shoot his magic spell at Furano but then gave up his intention. Furano aimed her handgun at the framed glass pane before her.
“Shatter.”
Furano fired her handgun, but this glass pane did not break because it was still affected by the magical barrier of this building and only cracks that spread in all directions. Furano crashed into this glass pane while taking cover behind her cloak. The glass pane shatters, and Furano then free falls out of the building. Furano immediately rode her broomstick, then flew further and higher from the building.
Daganzo ran to the broken glass pane window and watched Furano's departure until she was no longer visible in the night sky. Daganzo looked at the magic circle on the pocket watch in his left hand, which was still spinning. Finally, the magic circle disappeared, because Furano had left this detection device’s range. Daganzo's attention was drawn to the smartphone lying on the floor, which Furano had left for him; then picked it up and looked at it curiously.
