-------------------------------------
The morning sun slowly rose, its warmth turning into scorching heat.
Remus and Wumin, two maids, were hanging clothes to dry in the courtyard. Over time, the two had matured from their initial naivety.
They became the two newly appointed head maids of the mansion, primarily responsible for training new recruits.
As for Mine, she remains their superior and Yotsuba Mahiro's closest and most irreplaceable personal maid.
Meanwhile, as the two girls hung out their laundry, Mine stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at the blonde girl lazily sunbathing on the roof.
With her slightly messy short blonde hair, judging from her hair color and figure, she bears a resemblance to Cornelia.
But she is not Cornelia.
But -
"Leone! You're slacking off and sleeping in again! I went to great lengths to convince the master to let you come work as a guard in my house. I didn't give you the money to just laze around here!"
Mine put her hands on her hips and scolded her in dissatisfaction.
That's right, the mature woman who looks just like Cornelia is Leone, who was also the kind person Mine met back then.
Because the manor's security detail was always vacant, and Leone was quite skilled, she asked her master to hire him for thirty gold coins a month.
But to my surprise, this guy was either slacking off every day or having someone else do the work for him!
Every day, Mine was so angry she was jumping up and down!
“Head Maid, why don’t we try to tease her using the master’s methods?” Mai Min suggested, squinting at Leone.
Mine was taken aback, then nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s right, Remus, could you go to the kitchen and get a meat bone?”
"Yes."
A mischievous smile appeared on Remus's pretty face as she tugged at her skirt and ran towards the kitchen.
Two minutes later, sure enough, a meat bone was produced.
Mine weighed the bone in her hand, then shouted, "Hey, Leone, catch!"
All I saw was her forcefully throwing the bone in her hand in her direction, and it flew over her head amidst the whistling wind.
Leone lazily opened her eyes a crack, not even glancing at the meat bone, her mocking golden eyes looking at Mine and the other two as if to say, "Idiots."
"Damn it, you stupid dog Leone, why didn't you catch it?!" Mine yelled.
"Haha, little bean Mine, you actually want to play tricks on me like Master Shinjiro did, but you're far from it. At least figure out my preferences first."
Leone lazily rolled over, continuing to enjoy the warmth of the sun.
"Hey, why not? Before, when Master threw out the bone, Leone would rush out and grab it like a dog," Mai Min said, puzzled.
Neither Mine nor Remus could come up with an answer to this.
Leone, standing on the rooftop, waved and said, "I get to drink wine by currying favor with Lord Mahiro, but what good will it do me to curry favor with you?"
Leone's words were a wake-up call.
That's true.
I remember that every time the owner teased Leone with a bottle of wine, no wonder this guy cooperated so well, it turns out it was all for the sake of drinking!
They have absolutely no morals!
Because she couldn't teach Leone a lesson, Mine was so angry she could grind her teeth.
"Oh, right, little bean, I have to go out for lunch. I'll find someone to cover for me and watch the house later."
Just as Mine was sulking, Leone said lazily.
"Hmph, you've been lazy again and brought that airhead Hill along? Don't even try, don't you know how much trouble she's caused us!" Mine glared and scolded.
"Don't worry too much, I've already taught her a lesson, Hill won't cause any trouble this time."
"You always say that, don't you!"
"Don't worry, things won't turn out like last time, where we treated the thugs like guests," Leone said with a grin.
"I don't care. If anything happens, see how your master deals with you when he gets back," Mine said, hands on her hips.
Leone smiled dismissively, then flipped over and disappeared from the rooftop like a cat.
......
at the same time.
Yotsuba Mahiro is unusually diligently working in the secret police force, while Seryu is attentively assisting him.
Over the course of two years, as Yotsuba Mahiro's status continued to rise, Seryu's status also rose accordingly, and she became the vice minister of the secret police force.
However, although she was nominally called the deputy minister, she actually did the work of a secretary and team leader, just like before.
The only change is in her figure and appearance; she has become more mature and radiant, with a touch of allure amidst her heroic demeanor.
This mainly refers to the substantial breakthrough in her relationship with Mahiro.
It's really become a situation where the secretary does everything when there's work to be done, and nothing else... *cough*
However, because their relationship has broken through to a negative distance, Seryu has also become like a housekeeper.
If Mine was concerned with his daily life, then Seryu was the one responsible for urging him to work diligently.
Whenever there's nothing to do, I'll pull him back to the office and make him work hard.
As a result, every time he worked diligently, he became a nightmare for the nobles in the capital, and each time he would randomly raid the home of a noble.
There's no way he can ignore it if someone breaks the law, can he?
Since they dared to do so many dirty things right under his nose, they should have to pay some price, right?
However, he did not confiscate the money obtained from the raids, but instead distributed it directly to the captains under his command.
This ensured that the team leaders were well-fed, and almost everyone was genuinely loyal to him.
What used to be a low-paying patrol captain position has now become one of the most lucrative in the entire capital city under his management.
"Hmm~ Master Shinhiro, take a look at this first."
Seryu's tight-fitting police uniform was slightly disheveled, her single ponytail swayed back and forth, and her delicate and beautiful face was fair with a rosy glow.
She was being held in a chair by Mahiro, but even so, she didn't forget her work at all, pulling out a sheet from the thick stack of documents and placing it in front of him.
"As you requested, this is... the list of people entering the city that Captain Cornelia and Captain Nahashu investigated. Please take a look."
By the end, Seryu's voice had turned into a soft murmur, and her proud, slender body, laden with fruit, trembled slightly.
Mahiro stopped what he was doing and focused his attention on the list that Seryu had drawn.
Because the start of the main story is fast approaching, he has been having Nahshu and his group investigate people entering the city, intending to forcefully insert himself into the plot.
Incidentally, all seven members of Nahshu have now grown into qualified assassins, each leading a small team to carry out their missions.
In addition, due to the merger of the security force and the assassination department, their public identity is that of the captain of the security force.
It was always under the personal command of Mahiro, no matter the circumstances.
As for why there are seven people?
The reason is simple: Akame has defected.
That's right, just like in the original story.
Akame encountered Najenda during a mission, and under her silver tongue, Akame, along with Murasame, defected from the Empire.
Upon hearing this news, everyone was incredulous and couldn't understand it at all.
Especially his black eyes, which are almost blackened.
She didn't understand why her sister would betray the empire, why she would leave Lady Yotsuba's side to join the rebels. Wasn't she happy with them?
But one thing they all agreed on was that they all swore to kill Akame, the traitor!
Fortunately, Shinji intervened and stopped them all, warning them that no one, regardless of who they were, was allowed to kill Akame.
Especially for those with black eyes, never make a move against those with red eyes!
They didn't understand why.
It's understandable that he doesn't understand, after all, Akame is a spy he planted in Night Raid.
Since Najenda took the initiative to poach his girlfriend, he let Akame do as she pleased.
That's right. Night Raid has now been established and is carrying out various assassination missions in the city. Akame, who was once one of the most outstanding members of the Empire's assassination force, has naturally become one of their main forces.
Although he enjoys stirring up trouble and watching drama unfold, it doesn't mean he enjoys seeing sisters fight each other or former partners brawling.
So he informed the seven members of the elite group about it.
To make it more realistic, he even arranged for Akame to be wanted, so that the Revolutionary Army would believe everything he said.
I wonder what kind of expression Najenda will have when she learns the truth?
Surprise, bewilderment, or something else?
Kind of looking forward to it.
Mahiro slowly withdrew his gaze from Akame's wanted poster beside him, but when he looked at the list of people entering the city, he saw several somewhat familiar names on it.
It's not the three main characters.
But -
“Aier Shemirog, Luna Pain, Far Miyut?” Mahiro muttered as he looked at the names on the list.
"Master Shinjiro, what's wrong with these people? Is there a problem?" Seryu also leaned over, looking at the three names with curiosity.
"No, it's nothing. Seryu, go and tell Nahashu and the others to get ready to work."
"Yes, Lord Shinji!"
Upon hearing that there was work to be done, Seryu immediately stood up from his lap.
Bang!
They opened a champagne bottle on the spot.
Despite her trembling legs, Seryu quickly ran into the bathroom behind the office to wash herself.
He did have some recollection of the names Aier, Luna, and Fael.
I think there were three little girls of different colors.
And whether it's out of mercy from the TV production team or not, their future is completely different from that in the comics.
In the TV series, they survived peacefully and witnessed the day when the Revolutionary Army overthrew the Empire, but in the manga, the three of them suffered a truly tragic fate.
Fael had her legs broken for resisting, then her teeth knocked out and her fingers chopped off, while Luna had her eyes gouged out.
Aier watched helplessly as her two companions died one after another, and lived on alone, enduring humiliation and hardship.
Driven by a desire for revenge, Aier catered to all the nobles' desires, even forcing herself to wear a fawning smile while breeding with dangerous individuals under their command.
She eventually saved up enough money to hire a night raider and killed the nobleman, but she also committed suicide in a corner of the square and died quietly.
"You'll be coming with me in a little while, understand?"
Mahiro put down the list in his hand and suddenly looked up at a dark corner in the office.
A blurry outline appeared there, seemingly nodding gently at him.
"....I see."
-------------------------------------
"We've finally arrived in the capital. By the way, Luna, what kind of person is our master?"
Inside a carriage outside the capital city walls sat three twelve- or thirteen-year-old girls from the countryside.
One of the little girls, with long pink hair, wearing a pink dress and a pink hat, exuding a sweet pink aura, whispered a question to the little girl sitting in the middle who was dressed in a blue hooded outfit.
"He's probably an older man, maybe he's only interested in our bodies like a wild animal."
In contrast to the one next to her, the little girl sitting in the middle was blue, including her pupils and hair, especially her eyes, which were as beautiful as sapphires.
"If that's the case, I'll interrupt his OO and run away," said the last blonde little girl.
