----
The hall of the G&K HQ was usually open to the public, allowing guests seeking help or discussing commissions to enter freely. Therefore, when Renault walked in, no one stopped him.
He proceeded without any hindrance until he reached the door of the passageway used by Griffin's internal employees.
Just as Gentiane was about to take out her identity card to open the door, she saw Renault use his cell phone to scan the door access device.
Click.
The previously locked access door opened wide.
Gentiane and Angelia were speechless.
Although they both had access to the G&K HQ, they hadn't expected an outsider like Renault to be able to navigate the place so effortlessly.
Spitting inwardly about Griffin's lax internal security measures, Gentiane and Angelia quickly understood what Renault meant by "wrapping things up."
"Hey! Look at this! This is Griffin's dormitory! Look at those shabby, broken cardboard boxes! It's like the difference between heaven and hell compared to what we get here! Griffin's guys are all..."
MDR exclaimed before catching herself. "Ahem, in short, you should know that aside from those in special positions in big companies, there's no other company whose treatment can compare to Renault's!"
"Ohhh, but while some of the cardboard boxes aren't fake, those should only be temporary, right? I saw several other doll dormitories when I passed by, and they looked normal," her companion remarked.
"Hi-ya! There's nothing to it! Those dormitories look high-class, but they've been selling their labor at Griffin for who knows how many years!" MDR replied.
"Uh, but it doesn't seem like it's been many years since Griffin started using tactical dolls, right?" The doll responded.
"Hiccup! Ahem! Anyway, you have to realize that these are just selling their labor for a bit of belongings in such a dormitory..."
Appearing in front of them was none other than MDR, who had changed back into her original outfit, and a certain reporter with a camera in her hand.
"You? The reporter from before? Why are you here?"
Angelia recognized the reporter doll immediately, having seen her on Renault's ship before.
It hadn't been long since then, but how did she end up in Griffin's HQ unharmed?
Did Griffin's MDR know this reporter doll from before?
"Ah la, Commander Angelia, it's been a long time. Why don't I see you with some of your dolls today? And Commander Gentiane, are you also going gift shopping?" MDR turned and greeted Angelia and Gentiane.
However, her words made the two of them feel uneasy.
This was because they had never met with an MDR within Griffin HQ, other than knowing there was indeed an MDR among G&K dolls aside from Gentiane's.
But this MDR greeted them so familiarly...
"This doll... shouldn't be the MDR in your group, right?" After Angelia nodded toward MDR in greeting, she looked at Renault with a strange expression.
She then saw Renault receiving a hard disk from a doll, and that doll looked too familiar.
Wait... isn't that?
"UMP45! What are you doing here...? Hey, wrapping up doesn't mean this! What are you planning?"
When did this seemingly straightforward guy... No, she still doesn't fully understand Renault. His straightforward demeanor might just mean he doesn't bother to hide things...
But now...
"Long time no see, Angelia. Don't be so startled. It's just ordinary work. I'm here to get some image data. It won't impact your work. Commander, this side is finished, so I'll continue shopping," UMP45 said, walking away while taking out her cell phone to call UMP9. Her casual and confident manner made Angelia regret a bit.
She had known UMP45's electronic warfare specialization was strong and would be a great help. But she hadn't expected that she couldn't keep UMP45, who rushed to follow Renault as soon as he arrived.
Damn, is Renault's attraction reallh that strong? If this continues, Griffin will have to worry about all their dolls being head over heels for Renault, right?
And... UMP45's build...
Angelia subconsciously looked down. UMP45 wasn't much smaller than herself.
Gentiane, at this time, felt she had nothing to say.
The hall of Griffin, a famous security contractor, had this level of defense at its headquarters?
Until now, no human employee had come out to check the situation. Despite the door just being closed and the communication terminal leading to contact issues with the patrol team, Renault's dolls could move freely inside.
Although the issue might be due to Renault's dolls and Renault himself, the lack of any reaction was too loose, right?
Tap.
Just when Gentiane was feeling down, a crisp footstep sounded abruptly behind them!
"Who!?"
"Renault, are those people just sitting there?" The one who suddenly appeared behind the crowd was Scarecrow in a long skirt. Floating over, she naturally made no noise until she landed.
"Scarecrow!?" Angelia was so startled she broke into a cold sweat. If Scarecrow had any bad intentions, she might already have been incapacitated!
"Hiss! Commander Renault, you didn't bring all your dolls here, did you?" Gentiane gasped. With the Scarecrow behind her, MDR and the reporter doll in front of her, and UMP45 who had just left, this was almost a whole armed force of dolls!
"No, just a few..." Renault waved his hand, about to ask MDR if he had found Helianthus' room so he could send the drunken woman back.
However, halfway through his sentence, several chattering dolls, carrying large and small bags, came running from the other side of the passage.
"Commander! Commander! We've packed everything up!"
