| Description = Momoi was at the game center, and a client had mistaken Momoi for Neru from C&C and was asked to "clean up".
The rest of the Game Development Club later learn about the request and decided to take on the request. They then changed into maid outfits and pretend to be C&C.
Will they be able to complete the request...?
The curtain rises on the slapstick mayhem surrounding the phantom thief and the aesthetic artwork!

==Minigame==
[[File:Event 825 Minigame.png|thumb|Minigame: Game Development Club's Cleanup Operation]]
In this event, players can use the event currency {{ItemCard|Mansion Invitation}} to challenge the Limited-time minigame '''Game Development Club's Cleanup Operation'''. Players will be controlling Arisu (Maid) or Yuzu (Maid) to fight enemy in a rougerogue-like gameplay.
*Each play cost {{ItemCard|Mansion Invitation|quantity=400}}.
*The game screen will be vertical during the minigame gameplay.
Line 87 ⟶ 103:
*You can move your character by sliding anywhere on the screen. Stopping movement will make your character attack and auto-aim at the enemy.
*There is no dedicated shooting or aiming button. You have to stop your character from moving in order to shoot.
*You can attack significantly faster by moving lightly to any side instead of waiting for the animation to finish. As such, the ASPD buff is largely useless.
*There are 3 playable characters available: Arisu (Maid), Yuzu (Maid), and a Hidden character unlocked by swiping the '''Secret Command''' (the Konami Command: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right) in the character select screen.
**Arisu (Maid) and Yuzu (Maid) are both attackers that deal ST damage on hit but have a higher base damage at 30.
**Hidden character is an attacker that deals AOEAoE damage on hithits but has lower base damage at 16. She actually hit the enemy twice, once from the original projectile hitbox and once from the AoE after impact.
'''Notes:''' For some reason, they nerf the Burn Effect in Global, so it is not as good anymore. In the JP server, the burn tick '''four times''', so it was very useful to shred boss stage quickly or to stall against mob enemies, but in Global, the burn just tick '''once''' and the effect just end.

|Burn Effect
|Apply'''JP:''' DoTDeals 4 burn tick damage according to the enemy's max HP on hit.<br />'''Global:''' Deals additional damage according to the enemy's max HP on hit.
|The DoT actually appliestick very fast, and since it deals more damage with higher HP, it significantly improves the speed of dealing with bosses. Mobs won't take much damage due to their low HP, but it's still the best buff to pick.<br />'''This buff priority is a bit lower after they nerf its effect in Global version.'''
|-
|2
|Forward Bullet
|Add 1 extra forward bullet, but reduce ATK by 25%. Can be stacked up two times.
|Damage reduction is rounded down. Damage doesn't actually improve by picking this buff due to the damage reduction, but it does allow for a better hitbox, so it's a good idea to pick at least one stack of it. The second stack isn't as important, and it's better to prioritize other buffs if possible.
|-

|Piercing
|Bullet will now pierce through the enemy. Does not pierce through the cover.
|Can attack enemies in the back, so it's useful against mobs. TheDecrease the damage decreasesdealt slightlyby with10% for each enemy it pierces through.<br />When you pick up this buff on the hidden characters, the AoE attack on impact will only explode when hit against the wall. Hidden characters will still do double-hit even after getting this buff.
|-

|Ricochet
|Bullet will now ricochetreflect against cover and wall.
|It makes it easier to send bullets into enemy areas while hiding behind cover. Auto-aim priority will change from the '''nearest enemy not blocked by a cover''' to the '''nearest enemy.'''
|-

|Freeze Effect
|CRIT UP
|Decreases the target's SPD.
|Increase CRIT RATE. Can be stacked up four times.
|Most enemy are long range and it is very rare to find use in slowing enemy but feel free to pick it if there's nothing better.
|It is unknown how many percent it gives per stack, but the rate of hitting a CRIT is incredibly low unless you can stack up to four times. Not very useful.
|-

|ASPD UP
|Chill
|Reduce the Interval between your attack.
|Apply Slow to enemy on hit.
|Since it only reduces the interval between your auto-attack and does not increase the bullet speed, it is completelynot uselessvery useful since there is a method to cancel the attack interval.<br as/>'''Notes:''' If you feel that ASPD is better in your run, feel free to pick it. I personally could not find any uses for it with the explainedanimation abovecancelling.
|As only the early stages have melee mobs and it is easy to run past them, this buff is practically useless.
|-

|Recovery
|Side Bullet
|Recovers HP.
|Fire two extra bullet to the side. Does not reduce your ATK.
|HARD mode enemy deal quite a lot of damage so if you're lower than 50% then you might want to prioritize this over any other buff.
|There is almost never a situation where an enemy is on your left or right, depending on which direction the character is facing. It is possible to hit some enemies when paired with a Ricochet, but Diagonal Bullet is simply better.

|There is almost never a situation where an enemy is on your left or right, depending on which direction the character is facing. It is possible to hit some enemies when paired with a Ricochet, but Diagonal Bullet is simply better.
|Since it only reduces the interval between your auto-attack and does not increase the bullet speed, it is completely useless since there is a method to cancel the attack interval as explained above.

|Bullet will now pierce through the enemy. Does not pierce through the cover.
|It is unknown how many percent it gives per stack, but the rate of hitting a CRIT is incredibly low unless you can stack up to four times. Not very useful.
|When you pick up this buff on the hidden characters, the AoE attack on impact disappears and becomes a 2-hit attack instead. The AoE attack makes it easier to kill grouped enemies, so this defeats that purpose and is not very useful.
|-
|12
|Healing
|Recover HP.
|Picking a buff with higher firepower or clearing capability is simply better. You also heal up slightly when moving to another stage, so it's a bit redundant. Only useful when you're 1 or 2 hits away from dying.

=Stage Info=
*The way the stages work is that the game will save your highest bonus run so you don't need to repeat the quest manually over and over.
*Best bonus is saved per-item, so you can re-run the stage manually several times optimizing teams for maximum bonus for each item.

The non-map challenge stage isn't particularly difficult as there's no weird gimmicks happening. You can clear them by just using some strong dps unit.
 
Clear Team Reference:
*[https://youtu.be/CnItCpIx2vQ Challenge 1 Clear by to ko]
*[https://youtu.be/CnItCpIx2vQ?t=344 Challenge 3 Clear by to ko]
*[https://youtu.be/CnItCpIx2vQ?t=670 Challenge 5 Clear by to ko]
Gimmick/Tips: Some of the stages have an interesting minigame-like element to them, but that's about it. It isn't particularly hard, so just use strong DPS and you'll clear it.
*Challenge 1: There will be five waves of sweepers. The first three waves will be Yellow Sweeper, then Red Sweeper, and Blue Sweeper. If you defeat them, they will become your ally to help defeat the actual enemy later on. You can only attack the actual enemy after you defeat all five waves of sweepers.
*Challenge 3: Momoi & Midori start behind your backline unit.
*Challenge 5: There's a small gimmick where the Phantom Thief will place a card on two of your units. After a few seconds, the card will explode, dealing minor damage and apply '''ATK Down''', '''DEF Down''', '''Evasion Down''', and '''ASPD Down''' to that unit. When the battle starts, Akira will be running away from your team and waiting in the middle. When one of your units gets close enough to Akira, she will start to move slightly. The closest and furthest unit at the moment of her slight movement will be the target of card.
