Chapter 99

In the tranquil mountains where the Night Raid took place, a clear river flowed quietly, like a green ribbon weaving through the green valleys.

The river meanders through the rocks, creating a series of enchanting waterfalls and deep pools.

The waterfall flows like a ribbon, cascading down from a great height, splashing countless droplets and making a thunderous sound, like a symphony of nature.

The deep pool is profound and tranquil, seemingly able to swallow all noise, allowing one's soul to settle and find peace.

Meanwhile, Lubbock was carefully lying on the edge of the cliff, looking expectantly into the river.

"This time, I must succeed in seeing Leone's perfectly developed figure, and as for Akame and Shil... hehehe..."

Lubbock couldn't contain his excitement as he imagined what he would see next. Although he was in love with Nadjeshda, the fan service scenes were still incredibly tempting!

However, when he looked down at the river, he saw nothing.

"Huh? Where is he?"

There wasn't a single person in sight, even though he clearly saw Leone and the others coming this way!

"Bear, let's go!"

[Execute... suppression...]

Suddenly, a girl's voice rang out.

Before Lubbock could react, an incredibly heavy mechanical sphere, the Armored Mech Grizzly, leaped into the air and transformed into a giant iron ball, slamming viciously into him.

"Aaaaaah!"

Caught completely off guard, Lubbock was struck by such a large Mechanical Construct, instantly letting out a painful scream, as if his bones had been shattered.

At this moment, Clara and Leone emerged from the bushes behind them. Two Mechanical War Dogs accompanied Clara.

"Hahaha, a fatal blow!"

Seeing Lubbock in pain, Leone showed no concern for him whatsoever; on the contrary, she was quite pleased with the attack from the Armored Mech Grizzly.

I knew this guy would come to peek. It's one thing to joke around normally, but Clara's sister is here too.

He needs to be taught a lesson before he'll behave.

That was the order she gave Lubbock, which gave him a truly excruciating experience.

"Um... Sister Leone, he seems to be dying..."

Clara felt a pang of pity seeing Lubbock's miserable state; after all, he was a companion.

Although his actions certainly warrant a lesson.

With so many girls in Night Raid, peeping is absolutely forbidden. He clearly likes Boss Nadjeshda and boldly pursued Night Raid, even becoming an assassin for her, yet he doesn't dare to confess his feelings.

"Uh, that's true..."

"Clara, your mechanical creature is amazing! It seems even more powerful than other Automaton Soldier."

Noticing Lubbock's condition, he was being crushed by such a large metal lump and felt like he was about to die, but Leone was not worried at all because he wouldn't die.

I was simply amazed by the strength of this grizzly bear.

"Yes, the Grizzly is a higher-level Automaton Soldier. Because it is equipped with heavy armor, it is often used to Charge and Assault and protect targets."

My first experience with "scratching" in the game came from this Armored Mech Grizzly, which was completely different from other Automaton Soldier.

Clara even installed the highest-grade Power Engine she had drawn on it.

"Grizzly, get off Lubbock."

Clara walked over to Lubbock and gave him instructions.

[Yes.]

The huge, clumsy grizzly bear finally left Lubbock's body, but it inflicted a second injury on him, causing him to howl in pain once more.

Actually, the grizzly bear didn't use its engine power, and it restrained itself a lot when it hit the ground; the impact wasn't particularly heavy.

If the power were at full throttle and such a blow were delivered to the target, not only would a human like Lubbock be reduced to mincemeat, but even Level 1 Danger Beast would be turned into dust.

Once the grizzly bear was gone, Clara quickly sent her two Mechanical War Dogs to Lubbock's side.

Then the two war dogs licked his wounds, and his wounds began to visibly heal themselves.

It is obvious that these two war dogs possess healing abilities.

This is also why Leone wasn't worried about Lubbock getting into trouble and directly taught him a lesson.

"What an amazing mechanical dog! How did you manage to do that, Clara?"

Leone was still amazed by the abilities of these Mechanical War Dogs when she saw them again, and her injuries healed quickly with a lick.

Her mind didn't quite grasp the underlying principles.

"Because it's Mechanical Recovery Unit..."

These two Mechanical War Dogs and the grizzly bear are new mechanical creatures that Clara created after returning to Night Raid. The existence of the Automaton Soldier war dogs, in particular, is very convenient.

She doesn't need to use the power of the Abundance Light Cone to perform the rescue.

"Big sister, you're too cruel!"

After a while, Lubbock recovered and, having learned the whole story, stared resentfully at Leone.

While peeping at someone taking a bath is wrong, it's not right to subject him to such a near-death experience.

"Isn't everything alright now? It's fine. As a boy, what's it if you can't even handle this little bit of pain? Don't do it again next time. Clara gave us the Grizzly Bear's instructions, and we'll make sure the Grizzly Bear keeps an eye on you."

Leone patted Lubbock on the shoulder magnanimously, completely ignoring his gaze, and instead gave him a sinister warning.

Indeed, Leone was very interested in Clara's mechanical creatures, and Clara also gave her Secondary Command for the Grizzly and several other Automaton Soldier.

Of course, the Highest Command belongs to Clara and Svarog.

"..."

Hearing this, Lubbock swallowed hard as he looked at the enormous lump of iron beside him; he was already traumatized by it.

"I understand, I promise I won't peek again."

Lubbock quickly waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn't peek anymore. Leone is someone you absolutely can't mess with these days.

Chapter 40 New Operations

"Alright, the ill-intentioned fellow is gone. Now we can go play in the river."

Watching Lubbock's figure completely disappear from sight, Leone stretched for a while, then looked into the river.

There was no one on the river before, but now Akame, Shil, and Mine have emerged from the water.

It was obvious that they had just submerged underwater.

Then Leone quickly took off his clothes, jumped off the cliff, and plunged into the water.

"Clara, the water is so cool and refreshing! Come on down!"

Once in the river, Leone called Clara to come down.

"Clara understands."

Clara responded to them, but did not go down immediately. Instead, she arranged for the three mechanical creatures beside her to keep watch nearby in case of any emergencies.

That way, we can detect it immediately.

After assigning tasks to the Automaton Soldier, Clara changed into her swimsuit, but she didn't dare jump in. Instead, she walked slowly into the river.

The river is very deep, especially in the middle, where it resembles a deep pool.

"Clara can't swim? Let me teach you."

Seeing Clara's timid reluctance to venture deeper, Leone swam to her side, ready to take her into the deep end and help Clara learn to swim.

With Leone pulling her like that, Clara lost her footing and panicked.

"Wait... wait a minute..."

Clara seemed a little flustered and instinctively hugged Leone, clinging to her completely.

She really can't swim!

"Clara, let go of me first, I can't move like this." Leone was caught in Clara's octopus-like embrace and couldn't swim anymore, so she started to panic a little.

"Well..."

Looking at the scene before her, Mine felt something was off. If she didn't know what was going on, this guy's posture was just too strange.

Akame reacted quickly, swimming to the two of them in an instant like a mermaid.

"Let me do it."

Akame took little Clara from Leone's arms.

Akame's training in extreme environments since childhood has allowed her to navigate jungles, deserts, and water with ease.

No one else is as good as her...

"Sister Akame, Clara wouldn't dare."

Because she had lost her footing, Clara felt insecure and could only cling tightly to the girl, not even knowing where her hands were gripping the other girl.

Akame stiffened at Clara's small hand gesture, but as a Three-No Attribute high school girl, her expression remained unchanged.

In short, I endured it!

"Don't be nervous, relax. I'll teach you, it's very simple..."

To calm Clara's panicked emotions, Akame, unusually serious, began to teach Clara how to swim in the water.

Although Akame's words are often off-putting, she is indeed a very competent teacher, perhaps because Clara has an exceptional talent for learning.

The girl, destined for Erudition, began to grasp the key points after Akame briefly taught her the method.

She started trying to swim on her own and found that it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined.

In no time at all, he had almost learned to swim.

"So fast? Clara, you didn't actually know how to swim, did you?"

Mine swam up to Clara and began to have some doubts about Clara's learning speed.

"No, Clara couldn't swim before."

Clara quickly shook her head.

"Your learning speed is too fast."

"It's all thanks to Akame- nee's excellent teaching."

"..."

Upon hearing Clara's words, a slight smile appeared on Akame's expression.

He seemed very happy.

"Next, I'll teach you how to dive and fish."

In a much better mood Akame swam over to Clara, took her little hand, and prepared to teach her more advanced swimming techniques.

Akame can swim faster than a fish and easily catch fish with her Akame in deep water.

"Diving? Just like that? But..."

Is it really okay to start learning to scuba dive without any equipment?

Clara was a little worried.

"It's very simple. First, take a deep breath, and then..." In Akame's view, diving didn't require any assistance at all; it was very simple. So she directly began teaching Clara the method.

"Did you remember?"

"I've got it."
