Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

Not to mention that this was Kuroko's first time riding a horse, and she had no idea what to do, so she simply lay on the horse's back and barely managed to keep up.

On the other hand, Bonnie, who is also not very well-developed, is like a crazy girl, riding on horseback and looking very excited, so there is no need to worry about her at all.

That's true. Don't let Bonnie's thin frame fool you; she's grown quite a bit in height, almost as tall as Akame. So there's not much to worry about.

"That was indeed my oversight..."

"No, it's not Yotsuba-sama's fault, it's Kurohime who's too useless," Kurohime said softly.

“Um… Lady Yotsuba, if it really doesn’t work out, let Kurome ride with me on one horse. I’ll take her.” Cornelia suddenly suggested.

"You? No, your riding skills aren't very good either. You might get hurt if you take her with you."

Mahiro shook his head, directly rejecting Cornelia's suggestion.

Akame also seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

She originally wanted to say that she would go but she would bring her sister, but she was a step too late and Cornelia spoke first.

However, after hearing Mahiro's refusal, she gave up.

After all, like Cornelia, it was her first time riding a horse.

Moreover, their riding skills are all the same; they're already doing well if they can even take care of themselves.

To master the operation, it would take about ten days of practice.

"sorry."

Seeing that her teammates had been dragged down because of her, Hei Tong's pretty face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"It's alright, everyone has a first time, and it's not your fault because of your physical condition. It's entirely my responsibility as the team leader."

So, Kurohime, come ride with me on this horse.

Upon hearing Mahiro's words, the girls were immediately stunned and speechless.

As the old saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining!

I'm so... I'm so envious of being able to ride a horse with Yotsuba-sama.

"Yes, Yotsuba-sama."

Hearing the unexpected surprise, Kuroko smiled sweetly.

However, before she could even jump off her horse, Zhenxun's whip had already wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms.

As he embraced her slender waist, savoring her warm and soft body, he controlled the whip and reins.

Suddenly nestled in Yotsuba-sama's warm embrace, Kurohime revealed a sweet smile, happier than if she could eat her favorite candy.

Akame saw her Yotsuba-sama taking special care of her younger sister, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her crimson eyes as she looked over.

"Black eyes are so nice."

Tsukushi and Kogin gently bit their cherry lips, looking enviously at Kogoro sitting in Mahiro's arms.

"Let's go, our first target is the northwest border." Shinji squeezed the horse's back with both feet, and the horse galloped forward for more than ten meters.

Nahashu and Grin, who were following behind, were now numb; this wasn't the first or second time that Yotsuba-sama had indulged them.

Nahashu had brought it up several times before, but Yotsuba-sama's answer was always the same: she treated them as family.

It can be said that this is completely different from the teaching methods of Gozchi in the past.

But Nahashu doesn't actually dislike this atmosphere.

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

"Lord Yotsuba, look! There's a town ahead!"

With the excited shouts of the black-eyed creature in my arms, I turned my head to look carefully, and sure enough, a fairly prosperous town came into view.

After two months of travel, they finally arrived at their destination!

"The town ahead should be Dayuan Town, which is located at the intersection of the northern and northwestern borders of the Empire, as mentioned in the intelligence. Our target for this operation should be that town."

"Lord Yotsuba, you haven't told us who we're going to kill," Akame asked, pulling on the reins in confusion.

"Yes, they are rebels entrenched in the northwest of the empire. They are attempting to collude with the foreign tribes in the northwest to oppose the empire, so our main purpose is to wipe out those rebels who are trying to overthrow the empire."

According to intelligence, the Sabatini acrobatic troupe, which frequently travels throughout the empire performing, is an informant for the rebels, responsible for gathering intelligence on our empire for the northern barbarians and rebels. They should still be touring in Dayuan Town, which is our target.

"Lord Yotsuba, let me go and kill them all," Nahashu said coldly, his hand already gripping the Water Dragon Sword at his waist.

Colluding with foreign races is the most hateful thing. Although the corruption of the empire is obvious, the rampage of foreign races is even more terrifying.

These guys have harmed countless people on the border!

Damn!

"Lord Yotsuba... but we don't... we don't have any evidence to prove they're traitors, we should investigate thoroughly!"

Akame did not support Nahshu's decision to kill without saying a word.

Despite being trained as an assassin, she, who is kind by nature, still has some concerns.

“Akame, you’re too indecisive. Just listen to what Yotsuba-sama says, and you can’t go wrong. Besides, how could you possibly find out?” Bonnie said dismissively.

“There’s a way. We can try to infiltrate the circus troupe and make contact with them, then probe their background.” Akame suggested, winking at Mahiro.

"The idea is good, but it's not a good option."

Mahiro shook his head and said in denial, "Forming a relationship with a target is the most foolish thing to do. As assassins, whether it's Akame or any of you, you must remember never to make contact with a target casually, or you will endanger your lives."

"Moreover, evidence is needed for investigations, but only a list is needed for counter-terrorism. Being merciful to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to oneself."

One might develop feelings for their target after prolonged contact, making it difficult to take action, or be deceived by the target's lies.

This has happened before.

At the very least, this happened to Akame once in the original work, and she was almost killed.

I just didn't expect that this girl would still be so naive, even though she performed quite well in the assessment test.

Indeed, it is precisely because of Akame's gentleness and kindness that she was tricked into joining Night Raid by Najenda and became an important character throughout the Akame trilogy.

Akame remained silent, knowing that Mahiro was telling the truth.

But the next second, Mahiro suddenly changed his tone.

"However, since you brought it up, Akame, I'll make an exception and grant your request this time."

"Really, really?"

Upon hearing this, Akame's eyes immediately brightened.

"Well, you just want to know the truth, right? Then let's investigate."

"Thank you, Yotsuba-sama!"

Akame never expected that Yotsuba-sama would indulge her willfulness!

But what she really wanted was different from what he expected.

On one hand, they wanted to resolve Akame's inner conflict and make her understand that they were not indiscriminately killing innocent people.

On the other hand, it's also about finding some of my own little ideas, such as some interesting ways to deal with night raids in the future.

“Lady Yotsuba, we can keep a few alive for interrogation,” Cornelia said solemnly.

"Okay, let's do it that way. As for the interrogation, leave it to me. I have my own ways of getting them to tell the truth."

After saying that, Zhenxun tugged on the reins and headed towards Dayuan Town.

After all, if you want to take action, you need to figure out the other party's location first.

Although this town is currently bustling, it is still worlds apart from the capital. It could easily be called a slum. However, because it is located around the border, its trade with other ethnic groups is quite prosperous.

The group followed behind Makoto and checked into an inn to rest for the night.

Early the next morning, Mahiro dispersed them throughout Ohara Town to begin gathering information about the Sabatini Theater Company.

Although the young emperor gave him a lot of information about the revolutionary army, he gave him very little about the Sabatini troupe, and he didn't even know what the target looked like.

It only explains that the two foreign tribes in the northwest colluded with the rebels, and the Sabatini theater troupe acted as their informants.

Right.

If the Empire truly knew the truth, it would have dispatched a large army to wipe them out long ago; why would it need to use assassins and spies from the Assassination Division?

Half a day later, Nahashu and the others returned to the hotel one after another.

“Lady Yotsuba, according to the information I gathered from the plaza, the leader of the Sabatini troupe is named Sabatini, and he leads a group of itinerant performers on tour. Today is their second day of performance,” Cornelia said.

"According to the schedule on the flyer, they will leave Ohara Town the day after tomorrow for their next destination. Yotsuba-sama, when should we make our move?"

Nahash added to Cornelia's words and then asked another question.

"Let's wait until we leave the town; that way, it'll be easier for us to move around," Zhenxun thought for a moment and gave this answer.

Throughout this process, Akame remained completely silent.

She had already seen the Sabatini troupe's acrobatic performance and found that it was indeed just an ordinary acrobatic troupe, not at all like the rebels described in the intelligence.

Seeing her sister's thoughts, Kurohime whispered some words of advice:

"Sister, don't overthink it. We just need to obediently follow Lord Yotsuba's orders. Like Bonnie and me, we don't have the same worries as you."

"Yes, Lady Yotsuba is definitely not wrong," Xiaoyin interjected, having overheard her friends' conversation.

When Bonnie heard Black Eyes praise him, he squinted and revealed two fangs.

Mahiro ignored them, took out a map from his bag, spread it out, and pointed to a section of road five kilometers from Ohara Town that was the only way to the northwest.

"We'll do it right here."

"Mountain bandits from Hillanam?!"

Upon seeing the location on the map, Green adjusted his glasses and reminded him, "Lord Yotsuba, that's where a group of bandits are based, including some valiant northern barbarians..."

"What's going on?"

Before Green could finish speaking, Mahiro looked up at him with a smile, "They're just lowly bandits. Isn't it perfect for you to warm up?"

“That’s right, Lady Yotsuba is right!”

Bonnie said enthusiastically, "If they dare to sabotage our mission, watch me wipe them out and rid the people of this menace!"

Cornelia and the others were also eager to get started. Except for Akame, everyone else was incredibly excited about their first mission.

Finally, we can officially acknowledge the results of their training under Zhenxun over the years!

Just as they were preparing to ambush the bandits on the only road leading northwest, they unfortunately encountered them.

That was a bandit group of over a hundred people!

"Hehehe... Lucky, lucky! I never expected to meet so many beautiful women in such a remote and impoverished place. What a stroke of luck!"

The bandit leader, carrying a large, handguardless sword, walked towards them. His lewd gaze swept over the women's bodies, and his disgusting look sent shivers down their spines.

The bandits following behind also had their eyes light up when they saw so many beautiful girls, and immediately said:

"Boss, shall we just stick to the old rules and do it the same way as before?"

"Of course! Chop those three men into pieces and feed them to the pets. Don't let any of the women escape; sever their Achilles tendons and capture them!"

However, their words made the women's fists harden.

"Lord Yotsuba, may I kill them?"

Bonnie is like a wild animal on a leash; if the leash is untied, she'll charge at these bastards and wipe them out!

"I want that big sword."

Xiao Yin's focus was different; she took a liking to the long sword that the bandit leader was carrying.

But their words made the bandit leader burst into laughter.

"Kill us? Do you know who we are? We are the Hiranami Group, the ones who scare even the smallest children into silence!"

"Little girl, you'd better surrender and become our bus—"

boom!

Before the bandit leader could even finish speaking, he fell off his horse with a thud.

A small but not insignificant hole appeared on his forehead, from which a trickle of bright red blood slowly flowed, staining the soil crimson.
