I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Since they became Asuna's personal guards, they have been able to complete basically any mission successfully, except for those missions that cannot be changed by human power, which will lead to their failure. In other words, they can complete other missions easily.

And today, on their first night in the imperial capital, the peeper who was injured by Lady Yvis and Lord Mask slipped away from their hands, making them taste the humiliation they had not tasted for a long time.

Everyone in the group secretly made up their minds that even if they didn't sleep tonight, they would not let any suspicious person go easily!

As for the church outside that was destroyed by Yvis?

Does that have anything to do with us? It was obviously that peeping Tom who caused the damage, okay?

In this imperial capital, even the church is a place where filth and dirt are hidden. As a member of the North, they are naturally well aware of this.

Because, at the beginning of the new policy, they had already become accustomed to the darkness hidden beneath the church.

And this is the imperial capital!

There may be some good people and charitable organizations in the imperial capital, but they were definitely not established by the empire and religion.

As early as several years ago, the imperial capital had become a paradise for the rich and powerful and a hell for the poor. The so-called churches only belonged to the rich.

As the guards retreated, Asuna returned to the rooftop of the mansion and observed all the possible figures around her.

And below, Yvis was fully armed and could launch a long-range attack on the peepers at any time.

If Asuna guessed correctly, the peeper who was attacked by herself and Xavius ​​in the air should be a member of the night raid.

Asuna had started sending people to collect intelligence on the minister's subordinates several years ago. Although there was no guarantee that the other party was the minister's hidden force, given the fat man's personality...how much power could he hide?

In contrast, not all members of the Night Raid assassination organization were ever exposed.

Moreover, the peeper who appeared tonight came here alone, which does not fit the minister's characteristic of "coming in droves".

And according to the clues provided by his personal guards, the peeper fled outside the imperial capital. If he was really the minister's men, with their arrogant attitude, they would have returned to the minister to seek refuge and then showed off their power to their personal guards.

what?

Are we going to spy on you?

What nonsense are you talking about? We were just looking at the beautiful night view of the imperial capital, wandering around and enjoying the scenery. How did it become peeping?

And you guys have been chasing us ferociously. No matter how I look at it, it seems like there's something wrong with you!

The minister and his subordinates are very experienced in turning the tables.

It is precisely because of this that Asuna usually doesn't bother to pay attention to him. After all, she can't take action, so she can only avoid him.

However, if he took the initiative to cause trouble, Asuna would naturally not hold back.

For example, right now, Asuna is determined to hire Night Raid to assassinate the minister.

Although they are definitely not able to deal with the minister's men with their current strength, Asuna can lend them some of her personal guards.

As long as they put on a little makeup and eliminated all the witnesses, who would know that among those who participated in the assassination of the minister, there would be Asuna's personal guards?

But the problem now is that Asuna can't contact the guys who attacked at night, and she is even asked to hire them to fight each other and assassinate the minister.

"But...if that person is really a member of the Night Raid...maybe we can follow the clues and find their base, although the possibility is not high."

Asuna said softly while looking at the rising sun.

The fact that the other party was able to stir up trouble in the imperial capital, the center of the empire, without being discovered shows their strength and discipline.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the city guards and security forces of the imperial capital are all good-for-nothings, so that the members of the night attack walked slowly past them without them noticing each other's identities, so that they could return with zero damage after each assassination.

Asuna and Kayaba Akihiko have already seen those people in the guard team. Although they have some strength, looking at their drained appearance due to alcohol and sex, they can obviously be regarded as good-for-nothings.

As for the city guards led by Bud, their appearance and discipline were so good that even Asuna and Kayaba Akihiko could not find much fault with them. It was obvious that they were all people with real abilities.

Finally, Asuna silently helped them with the ranking and analysis in her mind.

Guard: a good-for-nothing.

City Guards: There are many soldiers, but few experts, so it is difficult to concentrate high-level combat power.

Night raid: Each person is a ruthless person, with superb strength, and each person has an imperial weapon (current intelligence), strict discipline, clear goals, and they will retreat after one strike.

"Commander Bud's city guards have been working really hard."

After finishing the analysis, Asuna couldn't help but complain.

The soldiers under Bud not only have to protect the imperial capital, but also protect the safety of the little emperor. This also leads to the concentration of the city guards' high-level combat forces in the imperial city.

Although there are some experts among the other city guards, they are obviously not able to lead those good-for-nothings in the Imperial Capital Guard.

When the security team asked them for help, by the time they arrived, the people who had led the night attack had already retreated. How could they capture them?

Thanks to these members of the security team, we were able to successfully escape from the night raids every time. Their contribution was truly indispensable.

47 Iyeas: When will I be able to return to normal?

When the sun rose completely in the sky, Asuna jumped down from the roof.

"Good morning."

After finding Yves, Asuna took her back to the training ground and injected Kayaba Akihiko's soul into her body again.

A hint of spirit gradually emerged in those originally lifeless eyes.

"Good morning."

Kayaba Akihiko nodded at Asuna and responded.

Then he looked around and found no new damage to the mansion.

Finally, he looked at his body again, looking at the wooden training weapons on his body, and said with regret: "It seems that something interesting happened last night."

Looking at his expression, he seemed to be regretting that he had missed a good show.

"It's just a little mouse that escaped. It's not a big deal."

Asuna shook her head, as if it was really okay.

"How could someone escape from you?"

Upon hearing that someone had managed to escape from Asuna and Yvis, Kayaba Akihiko immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

He knew the strength of Asuna and Yvis, not to mention that there were many guards from the Kamen Riders in this mansion. No matter how he thought about it, those guys who came here to gather information without permission should not be able to escape.

But now Asuna actually said to him, "A little mouse escaped?"

"It seems that we still underestimated the strength of the imperial capital." Kayaba Jingyan's face slowly returned to calm, and she said thoughtfully.

"Yes." Asuna nodded, and then told Kayaba Akihabara the current known information.

"Is it possible that he is a user of an imperial weapon with the ability to transform into a beast?"

Kayaba Jingyan put one hand on her chin, her eyes flashing with a thoughtful look. "It seems that the imperial weapon gave her strong body recovery and mobility. Otherwise, with the attacks of Yves and you, even those ordinary imperial weapon users would not be able to escape the pursuit of the masked guards."

The guards who came here with them were all elites personally selected by Asuna and Kayaba Akihiko. If they were placed in the Imperial Army, they would be able to serve as generals with their strength.

"It's a pity that the empire lost too many imperial tools. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many troubles."

Asuna shook her head and said.

"Although it is troublesome, it is also an opportunity." Kayaba Jingyan added: "Don't forget that there are still several imperial tools in our treasure house in the north that no one can use. These imperial tools are still lost in the records of the empire."

"An unusable imperial weapon is no different from an ordinary weapon." Asuna said with disdain in her tone.

Because the abilities of some imperial tools are really useless. Not only are they weak, but they are also picky about the people they deal with!

Even if we finally find a host for it, if we want to use it, there are still a lot of side effects, and people could die if we're not careful. Isn't this a waste of time? !

Of course, only a wealthy person like Asuna would dislike the fact that the side effects of an imperial device are too great. If an ordinary force obtained an imperial device, they would probably be so excited that they would die. Only the forces of Earnest and Budd would not take the imperial devices too seriously, because they have so many talented people under their command that they don't need to use certain imperial devices as decisive trump cards.

In other words, both of them already have their own hidden imperial weapon.

Let’s not talk about the fat guy Ernest for now. Although this guy has eaten himself into a fat pig, he is very secretive when it comes to imperial tools. Asuna didn’t find out much about whether he has any imperial tools.

As for that guy Bud, before Asuna appeared, he had always held the title of the strongest in the empire. His imperial weapon, Thundergod's Wrath Admiral, was even more famous, so there was no need to investigate.

"Didn't you send anyone to look for the traces left by that person?" Kayaba Jingyan continued to ask.

Although the other party escaped from the imperial capital, if Asuna really wanted to send people to track him down, she could borrow troops from General Bud. In just a few days, she could search all the areas around the imperial capital with the human wave tactics.

With the talents in the City Guards and the Royal Guards, where can they hide?

However, even if Asuna really borrowed soldiers from Bud, given Bud's conservative personality, it would be good enough if he could lend Asuna a hundred men. It would be absolutely impossible for him to really borrow a group of people to search the mountains and plains.

After all, in Bud's eyes, the safety of the little emperor is the most important thing. He has reluctantly lent out a hundred guards, and you are still not satisfied?

Do you want to weaken the guards and start a rebellion? !

If it is not your territory, you will eventually have to abide by other people's rules, unless you are ready to overturn the game and start all over again.

But obviously, Asuna is not ready for this yet.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Asuna said calmly: "As long as they still want to attack me, we will meet them again in the future."

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Kayaba Akihiko shrugged. After so many years, it was impossible for Asuna not to have grown.

But, after spending eight years alone in another world, wouldn't there be anything wrong with her mental health?

After all, she will still have to follow Asuna in the future, and Kayaba Akihabara doesn't want Asuna to have any mental problems and then destroy herself.

"Forget it. Looking at her current state, it seems that there is nothing wrong with her. I should find some psychological books in this world. It is always better to be on the safe side."

Thanks to her expressionless face, Kayaba Akihabara did not reveal a single thing about what she was thinking.

He took off the wooden weapons he had been using for training one by one, and said to Asuna, "I'm going to retrain those guys later. Do you want to come?"

The "those guys" that Kayaba Jingyan mentioned were naturally all the guards in this mansion.

Well, if Izayoi wants to bring Sau and Iyeas along, that's not impossible.

"No." Asuna shook her head. "If I go, those guys will definitely try their best to show off in front of me, leaving no one to guard this mansion."

"makes sense."

Recalling some scenes she had seen before, Kayaba Akihabara immediately interrupted the idea of ​​asking Asuna to train those guys together.

Kayaba Akie: "I'll go call someone."

Asuna: "Yeah."

A minute later, all of Asuna's guards gathered at the training ground of the mansion.

Including Sayou, who was still bandaged but standing straight.

Including Iyeas, who was still bandaged but sleepy and unable to stand steadily, and had just woken up not long ago.

48 Aim for regular employment!

"Hey, Sadio, what are we doing out here so early in the morning?"

Iyeas poked Shayou with his bandaged hand, and asked cautiously, changing his previous arrogance.

This morning, Iyeas, who was still asleep (under anesthesia), suddenly felt that his face had suffered a brutal and fatal blow!

Half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear countless "pa pa pa" sounds of slapping, and then he felt his head seemed to be shaking slightly?

After reaching out his hand to touch his face in a daze, Iyeas almost thought that his face had been beaten into a pig's head!

It’s so swollen!

After barely opening his eyes, Iyeas's originally big eyes had been beaten into a slit.

I could vaguely see two blurry figures standing beside me.

Really, looking at people through the cracks!

Then, he heard the following conversation...

"Um... Izayoi, if I let Iyeas go out like this, Mask-sama and Yvis-sama will definitely be unhappy, right?"

Shayou looked at her childhood sweetheart with tiredness.

Iyeas, when will you be like Tatsumi... No, forget it, that guy is not reliable either!

Iyeas, when will you be as reliable as me?

Shayou thought helplessly in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't let Iyeas go out with a "pig head", right?

I heard from Izayoi that the intensity of today's morning training seems to be very high. Can Iyeas still train well in this state?
