"Are you a Teigu user?"

As soon as Makoto jumped ashore from the bottom of the lake, Esdeath, barefoot, stepped onto the soft but slightly warm soil and came to him.

"I hope so."

Shinji shrugged.

He wasn't lying, Esdeath could tell, because he didn't smell like a liar.

But her gaze toward Yotsuba Mahiro was filled with even greater satisfaction; she wished she could take him into her possession right now.

The reason is simple: Esdeath herself doesn't understand Teigu and looks down on the so-called Teigu, which she sees as nothing more than a means of becoming stronger by relying on external objects, and not a proper path.

But personal ability is different; it's a skill that can be honed through years of accumulation.

Therefore, she was very satisfied with what Yotsuba Mahiro had shown her, and after learning that it was not an Imperial Arms.

only....

"General Esdeath, why did you take your shoes off?"

He looked down at Esdeath's delicate feet, her toes as round and pink as pearls, her skin a pale white, as she trod on the mud.

It's unimaginable that these are the feet of a female general who has fought in battles for many years; they are even more delicate than those of nobles.

"Oh? You really like my feet?"

Esdeath noticed his unwavering gaze and her tone became more teasing.

"Yeah, I like it very much."

Mahiro answered very frankly.

Such flawless jade feet are a rare sight indeed.

Simply put, Esdeath has two legs, and I happen to have one mouth.

I am Naruto Uzumaki's brother, Uzumaki Saito.

"Hehe, then become my pet. As long as you stay by my side, you can admire these feet anytime."

"Oh? Then let's forget about it."

Just as he answered frankly, he also refused decisively.

Putting aside whether he has a habit of becoming someone else's pet, he would never give up the whole forest for Esdeath, after all, there are so many girls waiting for him.

Secondly, it takes so much effort to conquer Esdeath.

Just beat her up.

Conquer her with your strength.

But Esdeath didn't seem to care about his answer, and just smiled and said quietly, "It's okay, I can give you time to think about it."

As she spoke, she bent down to pick up the boots from the ground, cleaned the mud off her delicate feet, and then slowly put them on, before putting her military cap back on.

She remained as dashing and natural as ever, her long blue hair flowing down her back like a cape.

Although I knew the woman didn't do it on purpose, the way he put on his shoes was honestly quite alluring.

She exudes femininity to the extreme.

Even her chest, which hasn't yet reached its ultimate form, looks exceptionally heavy due to the angle, emphasizing a round and full shape.

Because of him, the training for the remaining five people turned into traversing a dense forest.

Although there are still dangers along the way, it is much safer than swimming in that lake.

However, in the days that followed, Esdeath seemed to give him special treatment.

Their training was completely separated from the others, and their training was no longer as life-threatening as before.

On the contrary, Yotsuba Mahiro's situation has become a complete hellish difficulty.

Like catching dangerous species with bare hands.

Moreover, the levels have become increasingly higher, from the initial level two to level one, and then to special level.

They were just short of capturing those super dangerous species and those legendary super species that were the source of the Imperial Arms.

Each time, Esdeath was very satisfied, even to the point that he had the illusion that he was dating this woman.

After all, given Esdeath's sadistic personality, it seems that her only date activity is capturing dangerous species.

I remember doing this with Tatsumi in the original story...

However, even though it's easy to win her over, it can't be that easy, and he doesn't have an innocent smile at all, but he has perfectly copied Maya Yotsuba's smile.

Yotsuba Mahiro should put aside this foolish idea for now. If he wants to win over Esdeath, he at least needs to defeat her in terms of strength once.

On the other hand, the remaining five people didn't fare so well after losing his help.

Every time, I was covered in wounds.

The most serious one was this time, when Esdeath and he captured a Level 1 Dangerous Beast and had these people deal with it, just like that time in the arena.

As a result, these people were bitten all over by the dangerous species, and in the end, it was Yotsuba Mahiro who took action and killed the dangerous species, which saved their lives.

"Waaah, this time it looks like I've been bitten by a dog."

As the only doctor in the Imperial Capital Military Department, Dr. Fashion couldn't help but cover his mouth and gasp in surprise when he saw the miserable state of these people.

Since being changed by Mahiro, Dr. Fashion has completely identified herself as a woman, a bespectacled girl wearing a white coat.

And her feminine aura grew stronger, and she walked with a seductive and alluring gait, exuding a bitchy and scheming air.

"Do you have a problem with that being caused by me?"

As soon as Esdeath's authoritative voice fell, Dr. Fashion immediately shut his mouth obediently.

We can't afford to mess with them.

They then examined their wounds and carefully bandaged them with bandages and medicine powder.

"General Esdeath, their injuries are quite severe this time. I'm afraid they won't be able to continue training for at least ten days to two weeks."

After the bandaging was completed, Dr. Fashion gave this result, which greatly disappointed Esdeath.

"Do you really need ten days of rest? You're so useless... But never mind, your training will stop here for now. Focus on recovering from your injuries, and report to the army when you're healed. I'll assign you positions."

Although they did not meet Esdeath's expectations, Esdeath was still satisfied with them. At least they had persevered for so long and deserved appropriate rewards.

When they heard these words, even though they were lying in hospital beds, their eyes lit up slightly.

This is with the approval of Lady Esdeath!

The suffering we've endured these past days has not been in vain!

Even Niu, who was as young as a girl, almost burst into tears.

Really good.

Dr. Fashion, however, rolled his eyes slightly.

What kind of training methods did this sadistic queen use to turn them into this? Apart from that little girl, every single man looks so muscular; it's such a waste!

However, she then seemed to remember something and turned to Mahiro, reminding him of something:

"By the way, Makoto, your appointment letter has arrived. It's for the position of Deputy Minister of the Imperial Capital Garrison. Honestly... why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have arranged a celebration for you."

Dr. Fashion's expression was melancholic, while Esdeath frowned.

"A letter of appointment for the deputy minister of the security forces?"

"Yes, Mahiro is about to be promoted to vice minister of the Imperial Capital Garrison, the same position as you, Vice General Esdeath," Dr. Fashion said with a smile.

The five people on the hospital beds all looked surprised.

One reason is that Yotsuba Mahiro dared to leave the training team without Esdeath's knowledge.

On the other hand, I didn't expect him to be promoted so quickly!

How much money and how many connections would that cost!

However, Esdeath lowered her head, walked forward with a gloomy expression, grabbed Dr. Fashion's collar, and asked in a deep voice, "Explain yourself clearly."

"This...this has nothing to do with me. Mahiro was originally the captain of the security force; his training at the military headquarters was just a formality...and besides, it was the security force commander's decision..."

"Of course I know that!"

Faced with Esdeath's impending outburst, Dr. Fashion broke out in a cold sweat.

I was so scared...

That's why I say I hate women, they're so rude!

Esdeath casually tossed Dr. Fashion aside, her fierce eyes turning to Mahiro, and she asked sternly, "Yotsuba Mahiro, why are you leaving my side without my permission!"

Although Esdeath said something that could be easily misunderstood, no one thought there was anything ambiguous about it. The others who trained together had already seen that Lady Esdeath had a crush on Yotsuba Mahiro.

Moreover, even if they gain favor because of their abilities, they have nothing to be jealous of.

That's how it should be.

"If you were willing to work hard and follow me into battle for a few years, you could definitely become an outstanding general. Why give up such a promising future and waste your talent by staying in a place like the garrison?"

"Everyone has their own ambitions, General Esdeath."

Faced with Esdeath's questioning, Mahiro smiled and made an excuse, saying, "It's true that my goal is to climb the ranks, but development in the military is too slow. Besides, General Esdeath, your aura is too dazzling. No matter what kind of talent I have, it will probably be overshadowed by your brilliance."

Dr. Fashion agrees with this point.

She already knew that Mahiro had spent 100,000 gold coins to secure the position of vice minister.

With Yotsuba Mahiro's immense wealth and abilities that are in no way inferior to her own, it's only a matter of time before she climbs to the position of minister.

But whether he would stay by Esdeath's side is truly an unknown.

Under the shadow of that powerful aura, it was very detrimental to Makoto's development!

"You mean, it's because I'm hindering your progress?"

"That's pretty much it."

"You bastard, what a joke!"

Esdeath was angry, or rather, this was the first time she had ever felt such anger.

It felt as if my most beloved toy had left me!

With a powerful stomp, the snow-white over-the-knee boots shattered the paving stones beneath their feet.

Those icy blue eyes were fixed on Yotsuba Mahiro, and he said, word by word:

"Listen to me carefully, I will absolutely not allow you to leave my side, understand?!"

After saying that, Esdeath turned to leave, but paused briefly at the door, and added:

"Yotsuba Mahiro, don't think this matter will be resolved easily!"

Watching her leave, Dr. Fashion breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Oh dear, it seems you're in for a rough time, Zhenxun. You've actually been targeted by Esdeath, the most sadistic woman in our empire."

"Really? I think it's pretty good."

Mahiro smiled slightly, "Then I'll go report for duty now~"

"Hey, don't forget what you promised me, about helping me research the potion!"

Before leaving, Dr. Fashion reminded him of these words.

Chapter 123 Esdeath's Unwavering Perseverance (5.1K)

I received the letter of appointment from the Minister of the Guard.

But he will take office tomorrow.

So, Mahiro went home first to check on his little maid.

As soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they found that it had been completely renovated.

The mansion was filled with many people, who were busy working in an orderly manner.

"Remember, the windowsill must be wiped clean with a clean cloth every day. I will check it periodically. Although the owner is not here now, I don't want to see even a speck of dust, understand?!"
