They had only been in the capital for a short time, yet their master had already become the deputy minister of the garrison.
Although she didn't know what position it was, she could tell from the expressions of the people in that place that it was a high-ranking official!
"This is just the beginning."
Zhenxun patted Mine's little head.
"I know, because Master is very capable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to become a high-ranking official like a minister. But... Master, do you really like that girl named Seryu?"
Mine raised her head, her gaze fixed on him, her pale pink pupils reflecting his image.
This question caught him somewhat off guard.
"Well, I wouldn't say I particularly like it, I just think she has a nice figure."
"Hmph, Master is an idiot, a moron, a complete pervert!"
Mine suddenly became irritable and kicked him in the shin in a fit of anger.
He was fine, but Mine was in so much pain that she was jumping up and down, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly took a few steps to distance herself from him.
"Mine can do anything for her master... Do men really all prefer bigger ones? I'm a promising woman too..."
The girl angrily looked down at her chest, which was wide enough to see her toes, and when she recalled Seryu's size back then, Mine felt even more furious.
It wasn't because of her master, but because of herself.
I pay close attention to my nutrition intake every day, so why am I not growing up?
If it doesn't grow up, how can it win the owner's favor?
Does that mean I really have to eat more papaya, like that older sister said?
Just then, a large hand landed on her shoulder, startling Mine.
"What are you muttering about over there?"
"Hmph, you didn't say anything, you idiot master!"
Mine immediately turned her head, her pink ponytails drawing graceful arcs in the air, a textbook example of tsundere behavior.
So, Main bought more than ten papayas to take home today.
-------------------------------------
"Seryu, your daily work is very simple. You just need to help review the case reports submitted by the team leaders! If you finish your work ahead of schedule, you can arrange your remaining time as you see fit. If you do a good job, in addition to the duties of a secretary, I can also give you the authority of a team leader."
"Yes, Vice Minister, Seryu will do her best!"
Inside the vice minister's office, Seryu's eyes shone brightly as she looked at him.
In her mind, the captain was someone like Master Ouka, whom she greatly admired. This way, she could take his hand every day to sweep away evil and uphold justice!
Of course, not to mention the even greater admiration for this vice minister who could lead captains like his master!
"Only those with a strong sense of justice can handle the task of reviewing cases. Do you have the confidence?"
Upon hearing his words, Seryu straightened up with great effort and said spiritedly, "Yes, Seryu will not tolerate any evildoer and will uphold justice to the death!"
"Very good, very impressive!"
Yotsuba Mahiro nodded in satisfaction.
But then again, that's quite a PUA technique. Whenever justice is mentioned, Seryu seems to trust it unconditionally.
Using the name of justice as an excuse, he could probably trick Seryu into giving birth to a whole football team for him.
Is it better to say this girl is naive, or foolish...?
However, despite hiring Seryu as her secretary, her workload has not decreased at all.
Because Seryu currently knows nothing, he needs to personally guide him for a period of time to learn and accumulate experience in reviewing cases.
In addition, his inexplicable sense of justice leads Seryu to ask him questions like a curious child whenever he encounters a difficult case.
This has led to an unexpected increase in workload.
He could have simply let Seryu rely on his own feelings and experience to solve cases, but the problem was that the results of his solutions were all too outrageous.
It's almost exactly the same method as that guy Euro Truck Simulator.
She made mistakes in three out of just four files, so he had no choice but to teach Seryu step by step.
"Ugh... I'm sorry, Vice Minister, Seryu is so stupid, I'm sure I've disappointed you."
Looking at the serious mistake she had made, Seryu had a long face.
She followed Lord Ouka's instructions exactly, so why did she always make mistakes in the end?
Seeing her like this, Mahiro gently patted her head and whispered:
"Don't worry, the reason you made mistakes before is because you were in a different position and saw a different view."
So what you need to do now is start from the beginning. I will teach you how to do it step by step, understand?
“Yes, Seryu understands.”
Overall, Seryu is a fairly ambitious girl; at least under his influence, her sense of justice is being gradually corrected.
No longer relying on one's own judgment to act arbitrarily.
However, her and Yotsuba Mahiro's horizons did indeed broaden more and more because of these solved cases, especially their lower limits.
It's simply beyond human imagination.
For example, the unrequited relationship between noble fathers and daughters, or the death of slaves being forced to mate with dangerous species—these disgusting and sordid things happen almost every day in the capital.
Things like street robberies, thefts, and even deaths have become the most normal occurrences.
In the past, confessions were often obtained through torture and then the prisoners were put on death row, but Yotsuba Mahiro didn't want to do that.
Because his executions made no distinction between nobles and commoners, his reputation among commoners soared, making him a thorn in the side of the nobility.
They even jointly attempted to impeach him.
Unfortunately, it was of little use.
General Bud did not participate in politics, and the only person in the entire military with the authority to dismiss him was the minister.
As for the minister, he would be even less willing to be fired.
Who would let a lucky person like him slip away?
It's important to know that it was precisely because Mahiro sent many nobles and merchants to prison that he made a lot of money from it.
The minister even regrets not discovering this entirely new track back then.
Clearly, this way you can earn much more than the pittances those people give you!
However, what ultimately helped him break free from this job was not Seryu, but Dr. Fashion.
"Oh, our dear Vice Minister, are you still busy?"
"I remember those children weren't due for their injections yet, were they? Could it be that there's something wrong with your drug formulation again?"
Yotsuba Mahiro put down the file in his hand and looked up at the woman he had transformed from a man, who was leaning against the door.
Dr. Fashion has been visiting more than once or twice recently.
But it was basically not because of the medication; it was just that it was the day those children were to be injected, so he subconsciously thought of these things.
However, something strange happened: no matter how Dr. Fashion mixed the potions, the children's strength could not increase even slightly.
It's like developing resistance to gastroenteritis; as for the enhancement drugs, they simply don't work at all.
It seems that unless they are injected with the original drug, it will have no further effect.
"Oh no, it's just that their potion is finished! The elite team is coming today, so I came over to ask you, Vice Minister, if you'd like to come and admire our work?"
"Oh? Really? I'll have to take a look."
Upon hearing about the elite squad, he immediately became interested, put down the dossier he was holding, and gave the order:
"Seryu, I'm going out with Dr. Fashion. You stay here and review the files. If you don't know how to handle something, you can leave it with me, but you must be thorough and not careless, understand?!"
"Yes! Seryu has upheld the name of justice; the Vice Minister's justice is Seryu's justice!"
The girl stood up abruptly and gave a spirited salute.
This child, even though he's been by his side for a long time, still looks so earnest and energetic.
-------------------------------------
"Hey, it's been a long time, Minister Bill."
"Yes, it has indeed been a long time, Vice Minister Yotsuba."
Upon arriving at the research institute, he successfully met with Bill, the head of the assassination department.
Beside Bill walked six children, each of whom looked very familiar—the same children he had encountered when he first came into this world and led Mine through the forest.
However, while he was sizing up the children, they were also sizing him up.
A clear look of surprise could be seen in their eyes, especially from Bonnie, who had a single ponytail. She looked at him with a mixture of resentment and disbelief.
"So these are your elite squads?" Yotsuba Mahiro asked jokingly, knowing the answer already.
“That’s right. The seven of them were the elite selected from more than a hundred children bought from all over the country. They were supposed to be trained by that idiot Gozchi, but he died. So now we have no choice but to recall them. If all else fails, we’ll have to merge them into the reinforcement group.”
Or rather, this is the purpose of Bill's visit today.
He already had enough of a headache being in charge of the reinforcement group, and he himself wasn't as strong as Gozchi, so teaching these kids was a bit beyond his capabilities.
Most importantly, if he messes it up, the plan entrusted to him by his superiors will collapse.
The four demons under the minister's command have no interest in raising children and want to handle the assassination department themselves!
"Minister, you've miscalculated. There are clearly only six of them!" Dr. Fashion said disdainfully.
"Oh, I almost forgot! One of the boys, Guy, lost his talent as an assassin because of an injury, so I took care of him."
Yes, that's Guy, no doubt about it.
"Wait a minute! Minister, I have something to say! What's this guy doing here!"
Just then, a childish voice broke into their conversation.
Turning around, I saw it was Bonnie, the girl with the single ponytail. Perhaps because she was so stubborn, she dared to interrupt at this moment, and even her teammates couldn't stop her.
"You insolent brat, who gives you the right to speak here?! And you want to call him 'Deputy Minister'? He's the Deputy Minister of the Guard, who gives you the right to yell at him like that?!"
"I'm sorry, Minister, Bonnie acted impulsively and didn't mean it. Please forgive her."
Cornelia, as the leader, stepped forward to explain on behalf of the girl.
But Bonnie ignored him and shouted:
"Please listen to me, Minister! This is the guy who killed our father in the forests of the northwestern border!"
It's confirmed.
That girl is a complete idiot who doesn't have a brain.
But Bill didn't care about that at all; instead, he looked at Yotsuba Mahiro with a face full of surprise.
"What?! Vice Minister Yotsuba, you killed Gozchi?!"
Bill looked utterly astonished. The outcome was far beyond his expectations. The root of his troubles had been right beside him all along!
The idea of killing Yotsuba Mahiro to avenge Gozuki was so foolish that it never even crossed his mind.
Not to mention that Yotsuba Mahiro is now the deputy commander of the Imperial Capital Garrison directly under the General, he alone is enough to crush Esdeath and make him admire her greatly.
He was just looking for a reason to get Yotsuba Mahiro, a member of the Imperial Capital Garrison, to take over this mess in a reasonable way, and now the reason has come!
Dr. Fashion immediately covered her mouth and burst into laughter, saying in a effeminate tone, "Why didn't Goziqi reveal his identity sooner? It seems he died a very unjust death!"
"No, he brandished his weapon, but I still killed him."
Mahiro frankly admits what he has done because there is nothing to hide.
"Putting aside the fact that I wasn't the deputy captain of the guard back then, that guy tried to forcibly take my little maid and even tried to kill me. Should I keep such a scoundrel around for the New Year?"
Both Dr. Fashion and Bill couldn't help but gasp after hearing this.
Has Gozchi developed a brain sore, or did he eat hallucinogenic mushrooms?!
