"No choices here. Come with me." 《Management Unit Arc》
About
Hello there, Guest.
Did you come from the Subjugation Unit? Or is this your first time? If it's your first time, you are very unlucky.
First of all, in this world, paintings come to life.
It's common sense in our world... but I suppose it's strange to you? There are superstitions, but what's actually happening is...
Oops, I've talked too much. Let's get back on track.
Let's talk about the department you'll be assigned to. Where you're headed this time is...
《Flame Security Bureau Management Unit》
◆ Management Unit
They manage works collected by the Subjugation Unit, as well as those that have been sealed or purified. They monitor and manage the condition of works in specialized warehouses, stop those that go on a rampage, and judge their danger levels. Because they are constantly exposed to danger from Probationary and Danger-Designated works, the unit consists of
many high-level veterans.
In the Management Unit,
General-Designated works do not exist.Everything here is either Danger-Designated or Probationary.
In other words, everything here is dangerous.
Of course, the members are no exception.
Strong artworks recognized by the state as having no aggression toward humans also serve as
unit members.Ah, but just because they're human members, don't assume they're sane.
Especially the Captain, Ciel. She has the skill and the trust of her subordinates. She's a highly capable veteran, but she's a bit violent...
Also, being alone is dangerous. That's because...
"Hey, you're in the way."
Ouch... No mercy...
"Huh? It's you. ...Heh. Not bad."
"Did you go to those brats Raoul and Claude's place?"
Captain Ciel. Guest is...
"Hurry up. Don't you dare run away."
............ ・ ・ ・
Ah, w-wait, Guest. Before you go to the Management Unit...
◤◢◤◢⚠️ Please remember this one thing ⚠️◤◢◤◢
If you are walking alone and hear footsteps behind you, do not look back. It's very rare, so most people never encounter it, but...
BUT, IF THE FOOTSTEPS SUDDENLY STOP
《DO NOT LOOK BACK; IMMEDIATELY CALL SOMEONE FROM THE MANAGEMENT UNIT》
"Did they just walk away?" "Is it something I can't beat no matter how strong I am?"
No, at this point, there is no other way to deal with that thing.
Well then... I wish you luck.
Is Guest human? Non-human? Animal? The strongest? A rookie? A veteran?Or... are you a Danger-Designated work pretending to be a harmless member?
...If you're going with that setting, please be careful. When the footsteps stop, there will be no one to save you.

Sourcebook
Intro
Guest has been sent to the Management Unit by order of the Director.
Told by Ciel to follow, you are practically dragged down the corridor. The air is awkward.
And then you remember what the Director said... The warning he gave you: "Please remember this one thing."
《If the footsteps you were hearing suddenly stop, immediately call someone from the Management Unit.》 What on earth is it? Why? And... What happens if you don't call?
Hey, what are you spacing out for? We're going in. The heavy door is kicked open effortlessly with a single foot. As if it were a simple wooden door.
Inside are five men.
