Chapter 94

Speaking of robots for combat, Clara actually thought of one: a robot with very strong fighting capabilities.

Although not as good as Mr. Svarog, he is still far from being someone that an ordinary person can defeat.

"It's okay, it's okay, take your time. Clara, you've already done a fantastic job."

Seeing the little girl's apologetic look, Brood quickly waved his hand, saying he was just saying it casually.

He then changed the subject, saying that Clara had been working behind closed doors making machines these days, and now that she had achieved these results, she should tell the bosses about them.

"By the way, you're probably looking for the boss and the others, right? They should be over there now. I'll take you there."

"Um."

Clara nodded; she had made these simple robots so that they could help everyone.

These robots lack intelligence and are merely tools, so Clara wouldn't consider them friends like the previous Automaton Soldier.

Following Brood, Clara quickly arrived in front of Nadjeshda.

Nadjeshda was equally surprised after learning about Clara's ideas and the Self-Destruct Robot that had already been created.

So many robots have been produced in such a short time.

It seems we need to get those other things shipped from headquarters as soon as possible.

The mechanical parts materials delivered to the Night Raid base so far are only the first batch, and a relatively small one at that. The Rebel Army headquarters still maintains a degree of skepticism regarding Clara's abilities, based on Nadjeshda's account.

It could even be said that the reason this first batch of parts arrived so quickly was simply because of Nadjeshda.

They need Nadjeshda to better target the capital, and they'll meet most of their demands, as long as they're not too unreasonable. Whether the remaining batches have been collected and prepared is still uncertain.

"Clara, if these robots really have that kind of power, the missions they undertake might be much simpler."

"And coincidentally, we just received a mission, a request from a poor man."

After learning about these simple robots, Nadjeshda sat down with a slight smile. The true capabilities of these robots would be revealed in the upcoming mission.

If she could, she certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to her subordinates.

Having these robots to reduce risk is the best thing that could happen.

"Task?"

Clara was a little curious when she heard this.

"Yes, I just received it, and I haven't officially informed everyone yet. Now that Clara is here too, I'll explain in more detail after everyone arrives."

Whether or not you choose to join them is your own decision.

She had promised Clara that she would not force Clara to participate in the assassination.

Whether she goes or not is up to her own choice.

Although Clara herself has little combat ability, with Svarog's help, everything is very simple unless the target is Esdeath and that Imperial General.

Assassination?

Even a clean sweep of the entire population in a fair and square manner is still an assassination.

"Good."

Clara had no objections and sat quietly to the side, also a little curious about what kind of action would be taken.

Before long, all members of Night Raid arrived at the headquarters' conference hall.

Everyone was a little surprised to see Clara appear; could it be that Clara would also participate in this operation?

Once everyone had arrived, Nadjeshda finally began to explain the assassination operation and its objectives.

"..."

"In short... that's the mission."

"This time, the targets are the greedy oil merchant Jamel from the capital and the corrupt captain of the Imperial Capital Security Force, Ouka the Demon."

Nadjeshda explained the whole reason for the mission.

After hearing about this operation, Clara vaguely remembered it: officials and businessmen colluding to oppress the people.

This has been the unchanging status quo since ancient times...

And in this world, in this capital city, things will become even more cruel.

Will Clara be joining us this time?

At this moment, Shil, who was still half asleep, suddenly woke up and looked at the well-behaved Clara beside her, asking her questions curiously.

"Well, Clara, what's your choice?"

Nadjeshda did not answer, but looked at Clara, leaving the choice to her.

"Me? Clara should come along too. Clara wants to help. We can also check if there's anything that needs improvement in the Self-Destruct Robot."

After thinking about it, Clara decided to join in as well.

Since it was the first time she was getting the robots to cooperate, it was better for her to just watch.

"Okay."

Nadjeshda wasn't worried either; with Svarog around, Clara would definitely be fine.

"Self-Destruct Robot? Are you referring to those?"

"So, these robots are going to act alongside us too?"

Leone curiously tapped on the robots beside her; she had noticed them as soon as she came in, and there were so many of them.

They were completely different from the two Automaton Soldiers from before.

"Yes, this is a simple robot that Clara made. I hope it can help everyone."

Clara then gave a brief demonstration of the robots' capabilities. Through remote control or commands from a specific person, they could not only rampage around, but also approach enemies and self-destruct.

Its power is comparable to that of a small missile.

"Interesting. Clara, could you give me a few more?"

Leone was very interested in the robots that could be freely controlled via remote, and couldn't help but lift one of them up.

"Leone ..."

Hearing what the fierce woman said, Lubbock wanted to say something, but Clara answered first, "It's okay, Clara will give Leone some more later."

"But be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Hehehe... Thank you so much, Clara."

Having received Clara's promise, Leone put down the robot he was holding and immediately pulled the girl into his arms. Her incredibly well-developed body made Clara almost breathless.

This monstrous beast girl!!

"..."

Nadjeshda shook her head mindlessly and continued with the mission arrangements.

"This time there are two targets. That greedy oil merchant is just an ordinary person, and his guards are nothing special. We just need to find the right opportunity to assassinate him."

"This... let Leone and Lubbock do it."

"You are not wanted by the Empire, and your abilities are very suitable for assassination."

"However... Leone, don't go too far here. Lubbock, you'd better keep an eye on her."

Leone is great in every way, except that he gets carried away with his quests.

"I didn't..."

Leone looked displeased.

I am...

Well... she had nothing to say.

"Don't worry, boss... I'll definitely keep an eye on her!"

Lubbock saw Leone's displeased expression and then he became happy.

However, he had barely finished speaking when he was locked onto by Leone's murderous aura.

"Then comes the Ouka the Demon..."

At this point, Nadjeshda looked at Akame, then at Clara. Compared to the oil merchant, this guard captain seemed far more formidable.

He is a rather formidable figure. As the captain of the security team, if things go wrong, it could very easily expose the Night Raid team's situation.

"Akame don't you go with Clara?"

Clara was actually enough on her own, but since it was the first mission, Nadjeshda decided to have Akame accompany her.

"Good."

Akame was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement without expression.

"Clara is fine too."

Clara glanced at Akame and quickly replied.

"Alright, then I'll leave this to you!"

With the operation finalized, Nadjeshda appeared relaxed; this mission was nothing to Night Raid.

This was just an appetizer, to familiarize Clara with the Night Raid operation and to test her simple robot.

"This corruption has no place in the new kingdom... May these villains be punished by heaven!"

With a wave of her hand, Nadjeshda's tone became much more enthusiastic.

"Received... BOSS!"

The crowd responded.

This is the reason why Night Raid exist.

Even Clara was infected by this somewhat chuunibyou-esque passion.

After the meeting, Clara handed over some of the simple robots to Leone and Lubbock others, and taught them how to operate them.

They then split up and headed to the capital together.

Based on available information, both targets enjoy visiting the Red-light District and are considered regulars there.

If they're not in the Security Forces, they're in the Red-light District.

He was just a security captain, not even a Teigu user, so there was no pressure at all.

Chapter 36 Burial!

As dusk fell, the full moon hung high in the sky. As dusk settled, the neon lights of the capital city gradually illuminated the streets, casting a soft glow.

Meanwhile, an obese oil merchant, resembling a pig's head, was sitting in a carriage, protected by a group of guards, preparing to go home.

Judging from his satisfied expression, he was very pleased with what had happened. Although he had to give a large portion of the money he earned as a bribe to the guard captain, Ouka, it also allowed him to make money with impunity.

"Huh, what's this?"

What's coming from here?

"Careful!"

Suddenly, the guards outside the carriage seemed to notice something was wrong, making a questioning sound and instinctively gripping their weapons, watching the approaching object warily.

But when they got closer, they discovered that the object was actually several incomprehensible lumps of iron.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing the noise, the oil merchant Jamel stuck his head out and asked what was going on, clearly annoyed.

"This is bad, retreat quickly."
