The Just Maiden, Seryu Ubiquitous (5.1K)

He scrutinized the two of them repeatedly, seemingly understanding something, and then, ignoring Mahiro's intentions, walked straight towards the owner of the place.

"Minister, you've arrived!"

"Well, I've brought the five best kids from the department with me now, to see if any of them can withstand the effects of the drug."

Without saying a word, the bald man clapped his hands and five children walked into the research institute.

Four women and one man.

The four girls are all unique and rare beauties. The most eye-catching one is the girl with black-rimmed glasses who tries hard to put on a cool expression.

But what Mahiro's eye was that short-haired black-haired loli.

Aside from having shorter hair and black pupils, she looks almost exactly like Akame.

I never expected Kurome to be in the experimental lineup...

No, I should say it was inevitable.

They stood side by side in front of the operating table, their faces visibly pale.

He seemed a little nervous; his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

"I can already smell blood, Minister. You haven't started training them to kill people, have you?" Dr. Fashion asked in surprise.

"Heh, you have a really keen sense of smell. We did just come from the torture chamber, using death row inmates as practice subjects."

The bald man smiled sinisterly, then said with a sigh:

"It's a pity. I'm finding that we don't have enough death row inmates. Apart from those who were tortured to death by Vice General Esdeath, almost all of them have been used for live experiments by you! Although the Imperial Capital is very large, the number of death row inmates brought back by the garrison every day is simply not enough."

Why blame our security force?

Our garrison works very diligently and tirelessly every day to maintain order in the Imperial Capital. And I remember we captured quite a few of those foreign tribes, isn't this the perfect opportunity for those guys to realize their value?

"You don't mean you're planning to keep those alien races to generate electricity, do you?"

Yotsuba Mahiro suddenly suggested, "Let's take Paradox Interactive's war criminal attributes to the extreme."

However, as soon as he said this, the bald man's gaze immediately fell on him.

Despite not intending to, his face still looked somewhat fierce, and the monocle in his left eye reflected a cold light.

Who are you?

"Oh dear, I forgot to introduce her. This is the newly appointed deputy commander of the Imperial Capital Guard Corps, Yotsuba Mahiro ~ She's also the little genius I told you about before."

"And this gentleman is none other than Lord Bill, the Minister of the Imperial Assassination Corps."

Dr. Fashion introduced them to each other.

"The head of the Assassination Department?"

Yotsuba Mahiro a good look at the other person and had to admit that his appearance was indeed worthy of the position.

"Hehe, Vice Minister Yotsuba Clan is indeed young and promising." Bald Bill said in surprise.

He had already heard about the duel between the deputy commander of the guard and Vice General Esdeath, and he had even heard that the deputy commander had actually defeated that sadistic female general.

So he was always curious about what kind of person that was.

Seeing it today is beyond my imagination; at least in appearance, it's incredibly deceptive.

This seemingly naive and elegant young man, who exudes the air of a nobleman, hardly seems like a member of the security detail. He'd be more like Dr. Fashion's plaything.

Not to mention defeating General Esdeath head-on.

However, Yotsuba Mahiro did not respond to this surprise, but instead turned her gaze back to the children.

"Dr. Fashion, are you planning to have them try your unstable potion now?"

The oldest of the five children was only about ten years old. Although they possessed strong latent life potential, taking those enhancement drugs to increase their combat power would only lead to their death.

Not to mention that Kurome was one of them; he couldn't just watch these children die like that.

Then, he said quietly, "Don't blame me for not warning you, after these children use your medicine, they will most likely end up like those death row inmates!"

"No, I originally just wanted to examine their bodies. But after discussing it with you, I think it's necessary to conduct another experiment on their bodies to test the drug's compatibility—I'll lower the drug concentration, and it's also mixed with ingredients from the drug you brought, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"Hey, don't you dare gamble with the lives of my Assassination Department." Bill couldn't help but interject after hearing Dr. Fashion's reply.

"Don't worry, the potion that Yotsuba Mahiro brought has strong vitality, and after I diluted it by lowering the concentration, there won't be any problems."

Dr. Fashion shook the newly mixed medicine bottle in his hand.

Of course, Dr. Fashion had one more thing to say.

Even if the person doesn't die after the injection, they will experience a brief period of weakness, and the injection process will be extremely painful.

After all, it contained enhancement agents made from Gastrea Virus.

As for how much stronger it can become, that remains to be seen.

Little did they know, all of this was not hidden from Yotsuba Mahiro's eyes. She even discovered that it contained highly addictive ingredients, which she suspected were used by the Assassination Department to control these children.

"Alright, but only if their safety is guaranteed." The Assassination Department finally couldn't help but agree.

If he could, he certainly wouldn't want these children to die in such a place.

After all, collecting them was quite a lot of work.

The five children, who had clearly overheard their conversation, couldn't help but show expressions of unease. Coupled with the fear of having just killed someone, their legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Now, please lie down on it."

Dr. Fashion, holding the diluted medicine, pointed to the row of cold operating tables in the research lab and gave instructions.

The bald man gestured towards them with his eyes, and the four women and one man could only lie down on the operating table in fear.

Yotsuba Mahiro was sitting on one of them, so he jumped down from it.

Dr. Fashion took out a syringe from the side, filled it with diluted medicine, glanced at the five people, and then walked with a smile toward the only handsome little boy.

"Hey, little one, what's your name?"

Hiss--

Mahiro couldn't help but gasp, goosebumps rising all over his body. That pervert had indeed gone after the boy at first.

"I... I'm Natala, an assassin... I'm ranked No. 11 in assassination!" Natala's voice was filled with fear.

It's unclear whether he was afraid of the enhancement potion, or afraid of the woman in the white coat in front of him, or perhaps both.

"No. 11, huh? Although your strength is lagging behind, don't worry. As long as you inject my drug, I guarantee you'll be in the top ten. Now, obediently take off your pants." Dr. Fashion snorted, completely oblivious to how perverted his expression was.

"Really."

Natala hesitated, secretly hoping that her ranking could rise to the top seven so that she could enter the elite group!

"Um!"

After receiving Dr. Fashion's assurance, Natala hesitantly took off her trousers.

At this point, Mahiro couldn't bear to watch anymore. This guy was truly a pervert; he was utterly disgusting!

"Dr. Fashion, can you please be serious for once?"

Even the Assassination Department, Bill, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but rebuke him angrily.

"Oh, sorry, I got a little carried away."

Dr. Fashion chuckled, making no attempt to hide his preferences.

"Oh, by the way, I'll leave the other four girls to you, Vice-Captain Yotsuba Clan. You should know that I hate women, and children too."

Yotsuba Mahiro's lips twitched involuntarily.

He felt that sooner or later he would lose control and wipe this disgusting guy off the face of the earth, but he still had to give Dr. Fashion a thumbs up for liking boys.

Otherwise, how could these girls have fallen into his hands?

So he simply took four syringes from Dr. Stylish's metal trolley and walked straight toward the four girls.

Then pull the isolation curtain closed.

This immediately created a private environment.

Although Bill had some objections, he didn't say anything. They were just a few props, not worth his time to utter a word.

Let Vice-Captain Yotsuba Clan do whatever she wants, just don't cripple her or reduce her fighting strength.

Behind the isolation curtain, Mahiro's gaze returned to the four girls lying down.

The first person to notice was the girl with glasses, who was still trying her best to keep an icy expression, even though her body was trembling.

Then there was the girl standing to the side, who seemed to have a very bad omen; she had a pretty silver Tanba.

The third girl silently shed tears, her eyes revealing fear, behaving much like a normal girl.

And finally, there was the Kurome, her short hair reaching her ears. She pursed her lips tightly, but her gaze seemed to be fixed on the void, her thoughts drifting into the distance.

Of these girls, apart from Kurome, each one died a more tragic death than the last, so tragically that he couldn't even remember their names.

The only things I remember are that the girl with glasses seemed to have been cleaved in two by an axe, and the crying girl, who, after being injured, was apparently killed by that bald Bill...

Chapter 126 The Girl of Justice, Seryu Ubiquitous Ubiquitas (5.1K)

"My lord, my name is Kurome, and I'm ranked No. 8 in assassination!"

When he came up to Kurome, she took the initiative to speak, and her gaze focused on him.

"Yes, I'll remember your name, Kurome."

With a gentle smile, Yotsuba Mahiro picked up the syringe and said, "Kurome, this medicine might cause you some pain. Will you be able to bear it?"

"I will, sir. I will endure any pain. After this injection, will I be able to see my sister?"

Perhaps it was because Yotsuba Mahiro's smile was so approachable that Kurome inadvertently blurted out her true feelings.

It was thanks to the barrier curtain that their conversation didn't reach Bill's ears outside.

"It definitely can."

He reached out and gently stroked the short hair of the man with Kurome.

"Then I'll begin."

"Um."

After nodding, before he could even begin the injection, Little Kurome instinctively rolled over onto her stomach. Her little hands were already reaching down to take off her dress and the top underneath.

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

Yotsuba Mahiro quickly pressed down on her little hand, pinning it to her little bottom.

"Sir, aren't we supposed to inject it in the buttocks?" Kurome asked innocently, looking at him with puzzled eyes.

"... No need, that's just that pervert's own fetish."

"They can hear me! I'm not a pervert, I just simply like boys!"

Dr. Fashion's voice drifted in, filled with protest.

However, Yotsuba Mahiro completely ignored the protest, first removing the addictive ingredients from the injection, and then said to Kurome:

"There's no need to listen to that freak. Just listen to me, lie down."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, sir."

Kurome immediately turned over, lay quietly on the operating table, and gently closed her eyes, like a kitten taking a nap.

"M-Sir, Kurome has mentally prepared herself. You can... you can fight now."

Even though I acted calmly, I was still nervous inside...

Mahiro finally inserted the needle into the girl's arm and slowly injected the medicine into her body.

"Ugh..."

The icy touch on her arm made Kurome's delicate face scrunch up, and her body began to tremble and spasm uncontrollably.

It seems the medicine is working!
