Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

Those dozen or so captains were required to lead their men out on patrols every day to maintain order in the capital.

However, to be precise, their main role is to protect the interests of the nobles, adhering to the principle of "whoever has the money listens to them." Once a conflict arises between the poor and the nobles, they immediately transform into the nobles' vicious henchmen.

As for major cases like murder, they will be handled by higher-ups, namely him and the minister.

But most of the time, this won't happen.

Because killing was the exclusive right of nobles, done in the name of executing slaves.

After all, slaves have no legal rights; they are private property, and the guards have no jurisdiction over them, only the option to profit from them.

Afterwards, several people carried Oka to the infirmary, and the others then dispersed to begin their work for the day.

One of them was responsible for taking him to the office assigned to him.

To Mahiro Yotsuba's surprise, the deputy minister and the minister's offices were not in the guard unit's duty room, but inside the military headquarters.

What's even more outrageous is that his office is not far from Esdeath's office; they could even be considered neighbors.

It's obvious that things will get very lively in the future.

However, before he could even settle into his seat, he suddenly heard an argument coming from next door.

Just by listening to her voice, I knew it was Esdeath.

"I need an explanation!"

Esdeath's long, slender high heels clicked on the hard floor tiles as she stood with her arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the man sitting behind the desk in front of her.

"Yotsuba Mahiro is very talented and can unleash his full potential under my command. Give me a reason to refuse the transfer!"

"Don't be in such a hurry, General Esdeath, listen to me—"

The head of the Imperial Capital Garrison, sitting in his chair, said slowly, "First of all, Yotsuba Mahiro was originally a member of our Imperial Capital Garrison. Even if she went to the military for training, she was doing things according to the rules set by General Budo."

Secondly, although this transfer is still within the military, it is still an inter-departmental transfer and requires General Bud's approval. Vice General Esdeath, do you have General Bud's transfer order?

Finally, I also understand very well that it is understandable that a general like you, Esdeath, who is fighting on the front lines, looks down on us, the troops stationed in the rear to maintain order.

But we also need talents like Yotsuba Mahiro.

The minister's words were very reasonable and well-founded, but Esdeath sneered after listening to them:

"But I've heard that this deputy minister was bought for 100,000 gold coins. Is this how you value talent?"

"General Esdeath, what kind of place do you think the Imperial Capital Garrison is? A garbage dump where a bunch of good-for-nothings are kept?"

Faced with Esdeath's questioning, the minister responded with a serious counter-question.

"Strength is indispensable to gain a foothold here, and Yotsuba Mahiro happens to possess that strength. He intimidated all the captains as soon as he arrived, and now Captain Euca, who was provoking them, is still lying in the infirmary."

So, the reason I paid for his promotion was simply because the regular promotion process is too slow, so I helped him out.

What's more, the price he offered was very satisfactory—one hundred thousand gold coins! Those poor merchants don't even contribute that much in a year.

"Hmph!! The capital city has become so rotten because of your existence."

Esdeath frowned and said.

She didn't abhor bribery, because wealth is a form of power, but she wouldn't condone it either.

“That’s too much of an honorific, General Esdeath.”

The minister laughed and said, "Even if I hadn't had the foresight to make an exception and promote him, with his abilities, he could easily have risen to his current position in just two or three years. Now that we've saved two years, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a minister in three or four years. Isn't that a faster promotion than following General Esdeath?"

"But the achievements and merits accumulated to become a general are real and substantial!"

“If that’s your opinion, then there’s nothing I can do. Unless you can unilaterally negotiate with him and get his consent to relinquish your duties as vice minister, or... General Esdeath can persuade General Bud to issue a transfer order, I can’t help you.”

The minister shrugged, indicating that the guest should see him out.

"...In that case, I'll take my leave."

Esdeath pulled down her military cap and turned to leave, but a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off." The minister waved his hand, bidding farewell to the female general.

As the head of the security force, he had no need to give face to his deputy, Esdeath.

Although many people feared her sadistic personality, in his eyes she was just a young girl with martial arts skills but also naive and immature.

Moreover, what he said was indeed true.

If Yotsuba Mahiro had stayed by Esdeath's side, given Esdeath's extremely controlling personality, Yotsuba Mahiro would have ultimately only become a vice-general, equivalent to a vice-minister.

Unless Esdeath removes General Budo, Yotsuba Mahiro will not be eligible to be promoted to general.

The problem is, that's nothing short of wishful thinking.

Any normal person would know how to make the right choice.

Chapter 124 Showdown with Esdeath (5K)

However, what the minister did not expect was...

His words happened to enlighten Esdeath.

For a conqueror, a warmonger, there is no easier means than conquest.

Since the formal channels were not working, she decided to try a different approach: demonstrate her strength, beat the other party into submission, and then force him to give up his position as vice minister.

After all, in this dog-eat-dog world, there is only the relationship between dominance and subjugation.

And Esdeath is the one who is most skilled at using this method.

If you like something, just plunder it. Only the strong deserve to live. This is the belief that Esdeath has always held!

So Esdeath kicked open the door to the vice minister's office.

"Who the hell is it, coming to cause trouble on my very first day in office?!"

Yotsuba Mahiro, who was sitting leisurely in a chair contemplating the future, was about to utter a curse, but upon seeing the person who had arrived, she involuntarily swallowed her words.

It was that sadistic queen, Esdeath.

Wearing her blue and white military uniform as always, she displayed her graceful and mature figure, and walked step by step with her slender and powerful legs to his desk.

They looked down at him in a superior manner.

"Oh, isn't this General Esdeath? May I ask what brings you here so suddenly? And you even kicked down my door."

I have to say, this woman's kick was really strong. Even though his door was made of a metal-like material, it was still broken by one kick!

Are you some kind of dangerous humanoid?!

However, the next second, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept in.

Holy crap, it's black!

As soon as I looked up, I saw Esdeath raising her leg high, and I could even see her panties under her short skirt!

wrong!

Mahiro instinctively got up to dodge, and then saw Esdeath's strong, long leg suddenly fall down.

Boom!

Wood chips flew everywhere.

The desk in front of him was swiftly and decisively smashed to pieces.

"General Esdeath, what do you mean by this?"

"Hmph... Hehehe... I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Yotsuba Mahiro, you really are to my liking!"

Esdeath laughed, a beautiful smile spreading across her face, as if she had found her most beloved toy, and a warlike flame ignited in her icy blue pupils.

He immediately threw a punch.

A simple straight punch, devoid of any fancy moves, produced a sharp, piercing sound as it cut through the air!

Snapped!

Yotsuba Mahiro easily caught it with a single reach, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"General Esdeath, did you come here specifically to fight me?"

"Yes."

Esdeath withdrew her fist and readily admitted, "Come and fight me. If you lose, you'll be kicked out of this boring job, obediently return to my side and accept my training, and everything you have will be mine!"

Yotsuba Mahiro: "......"

It seems Esdeath is even crazier than he imagined.

Confident, willful, and arrogant.

That makes sense, since in the original work this woman was able to take out a collar and put it on Tatsumi on the spot.

"Then what if you lose?"

"Heh, you mean you can beat me?"

"What if?"

"Yes, that's certainly a possibility..."

Esdeath suddenly dropped her arrogance, but the smile on her lips remained unchanged.

"If I lose, it proves I am weak. Since I have lost to you, it is naturally yours. Whether you want to strip me naked and hang me up with chains, or cut me open and eat my heart and liver, it is up to you."

If it were anyone else, hearing the most beautiful female general in the entire empire say such things, they would probably be extremely excited.

He even wished he could defeat Esdeath immediately and make her his slave.

But Yotsuba Mahiro didn't feel that way; he simply nodded calmly and said:

"Okay, then it's settled."

"It's settled then. I'll wait for you at the training ground. You'll have half an hour to prepare!"

After leaving those words behind, Esdeath turned and left in her high-heeled boots, disappearing from his sight.

Only a room in complete disarray remained.

Mahiro had no intention of refusing the contest, or rather, he simply couldn't refuse.

The best way to get rid of this troublesome woman is to defeat her, then give her a good spanking and make her understand why flowers are so red!

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

Half an hour later, on the training ground.

Yotsuba Mahiro arrived as promised, and Esdeath had been waiting there for a long time.

The area around the arena was also heavily guarded, perhaps to establish his authority, or perhaps because they heard that he was going to compete with Esdeath. Many people from the military came to watch the spectacle, and the arena was completely surrounded.

"You came."

Upon seeing Yotsuba Mahiro's appearance, Esdeath's tense but pretty face broke into a satisfied smile.

"Very good! Even if you fail in the end, you are still a true warrior who did not fear any challenge!"

"Let's skip this boring nonsense and get started."

Mahiro shook his head, unmoved by Esdeath's words.

Because he will soon make this woman understand who the real challenger is!

"Then, let's begin this battle between Lady Esdeath and Yotsuba Mahiro, the Vice-Commander of the Imperial Capital Garrison!"

Niu took on the role of host and came to the center of the venue to say this.

As he swung his arm down, Esdeath slowly lowered herself, spreading her long, beautiful legs to a 120-degree angle.

Leaning slightly forward, the body forms a stable triangular support, like a cheetah poised to pounce.

Then, he suddenly rushed out!

"So fast!"

Everyone was shocked.
