[Lobotomy Corporation] I'm an Abnormality...

Please help me... EP.10

I need to get out of this situation before that bald man arrives.

Calm down. I have to say something, anything.

All I need to do is distract Malkuth, the Sephira in front of me, just enough to escape.

Okay, let's give it a shot!

"Uh... well, you see...!"

"Wait, let me guess. You're a new office worker, right?"

...And just like that, my ambitious attempt ended in vain.

Suddenly, the answer was reduced to a simple Yes or No.

This is disastrous. I didn't expect it to turn out this way.

"You're a white-collar worker, right? Right?"

At this point, I don't even know anymore.

I just nodded slightly at Malkuth, who had been enthusiastic on her own since a moment ago.

"I knew it! I had a feeling. I wasn't sure if it was E.G.O equipment because of your clothes... but thankfully, I was right!"

First, that employee who passed by, and now this Sephira named Malkuth. What is this E.G.O they keep mentioning?

From what she's saying, it seems to be related to the Abnormalities...

"Um, I have a question. What exactly is E.G.O?"

"E.G.O stands for Extermination of Geometrical Organ. We usually call it Ego," she explained.

"Ego..."

"And among Egos, there are weapons and armor extracted naturally while managing Abnormalities, as well as E.G.O Gifts given as presents by the Abnormalities!"

I still don't really understand what E.G.O is, even after her explanation, but it seems like it's something given by Abnormalities.

Wait, does that mean I can give something called E.G.O too?

I tried focusing my energy, just in case, but nothing happened.

I got my hopes up for nothing.

"But office workers usually don't wear clothes like that... Which department are you from?"

"Ah, well... They're just really dirty. They were originally white clothes."

"White clothes? There aren't any white uniforms for the upper department office workers."

Every time I speak, it feels like I'm digging myself deeper into my own lies.

How is it possible that everything I say turns into a landmine?

I shouldn't have trusted my guessing skills. Come to think of it, even back in school, my answer sheets were always filled with wrong guesses.

I should have remembered the color of the clothes of those employees who passed by earlier.

"Hmm... Did you get lost, perhaps?"

"Lost... Oh, right! I got lost! Yes, that's it!"

"It's fate that we met like this. I'll take you back. Just tell me which department you're from!"

No, I'm going crazy.

I just want to go back to my containment cell quietly...!

"Actually, I don't know which department I belong to..."

"Hmm, that's a problem. Then, can you tell me who your supervising Sephira is?"

How am I supposed to know that when I don't even know what a Sephira is?

When I shook my head in confusion, Malkuth's expression gradually became strange.

"If you're a new office worker, you should have completed the basic company training..."

"I was j-just kidding! Actually..."

[Emergency situation. Trumpet Level 2 is being issued. Abnormality with identification code O-01-39, commonly known as 'Little Girl', has escaped from containment.]

Just as I was about to make an excuse, a sudden announcement came over the intercom.

Why is this happening now?

But there's still hope. Malkuth doesn't know what 'Little Girl' looks like yet, so there might still be a chance to escape...

[Since the effects of this Abnormality's escape are unknown, we earnestly request all employees to immediately contact and subdue the respective department's Sephira if a girl with pure white hair is seen in the vicinity.]

"...Pure white hair?"

Oh.
