I'm Taking Over the Elite Squad? Seriously? (5.1K)

His gaze lingered on the small beast for a moment longer, and the Hekatonkheires seemed to be very afraid of him, hiding at Seryu Ubiquitous's feet.

So he slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Seryu Ubiquitous again.

To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise.

He initially thought there was some kind of relationship between Seryu Ubiquitous and Ogre in the original work, but after a closer look, he found that Seryu Ubiquitous was still a perfect girl.

In other words, he was simply overthinking things; perhaps this man, Ogre, isn't interested in women at all, except for money.

"Sir, if you have nothing else to arrange, we need to go out and take care of some business now," Ogre said hesitantly.

"Is your inspection not over for today?"

"No, I want to take her to familiarize herself with the patrol procedures first."

"Then go ahead." Yotsuba Mahiro waved, but just as they were about to leave, he suddenly added, "Oh, right, once Seryu Ubiquitous is familiar with the work of the security force, have her come and report to me. I happen to be short a secretary, and I think she's just right."

"Yes, Vice Minister, I will make the arrangements!"

"Huh? Me?... Can I?"

Compared to Ogre's quick agreement, Seryu Ubiquitous himself was still somewhat hesitant.

On his first day at the security force with his master, he was immediately noticed by the deputy minister and promoted with a raise. Isn't that a bit too surreal?

"Speak less, do more!"

Ogre sternly admonished, "It's an honor that the Vice Minister has taken a liking to you. You must work hard from now on and not embarrass me, understand?"

"Yes, Master! I will definitely work hard!"

"Haha, there's no need to be so nervous."

Mahiro interrupted the conversation between the master and apprentice, saying, "It's okay if you don't know how to do it. I'll teach you slowly. Just follow me and work hard from now on."

"Yes, Vice Minister!"

Looking at the girl's upright figure, Yotsuba Mahiro nodded in satisfaction.

As for Seryu Ubiquitous, besides being attracted to her slender and shapely figure, his main reason was to keep her away from Ogre to prevent her mind from becoming distorted, and perhaps see if he could correct it.

However, it must be said that exercising rights is truly exhilarating.

Especially in a place like the Imperial Capital.

No matter how I use it, I feel completely at ease!

Chapter 127 I'm taking over the elite squad? Really? (5.1K)

Afterwards, Ogre took Seryu Ubiquitous on patrol.

He then took Mine away from the guard post.

On the way, Mine looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

"Master, you're amazing..."

They had only been in the Imperial Capital for a short time, yet their master had already become the deputy minister of the security force.

Although she didn't know what position it was, she could tell from the expressions of the people in that place that it was a high-ranking official!

"This is just the beginning."

Mahiro patted Mine's little head.

"I know, because Master is very capable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to become a high-ranking official like a minister. But... Master, do you really like that girl named Seryu Ubiquitous?"

Mine raised her head, her gaze fixed on him, her pale pink pupils reflecting his image.

This question caught him somewhat off guard.

"Uh, I wouldn't say I particularly like it, I just think she has a nice figure."

"Hmph, Master is an idiot, a moron, a complete pervert!"

Mine suddenly became agitated and kicked him in the shin in a fit of rage.

He turned out to be fine, but Mine was in so much pain that she was jumping up and down, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly took a few steps to distance herself from him.

"Mine can do anything for her master... Do men really all prefer bigger ones? I'm a promising woman too..."

The girl angrily looked down at her chest, which was wide enough to see her toes, and then recalled Seryu Ubiquitous's size back then, Mine felt even more furious.

It wasn't because of her master, but because of herself.

I'm very careful about my nutrition every day, so why am I not growing?

If it never grows up, how can it win its owner's favor?

Does that mean I really need to eat more papaya, like that older sister said?

Just then, a large hand landed on her shoulder, startling Mine.

"What are you muttering about over there?"

"Hmph, you didn't say anything, you idiot master!"

Mine immediately turned her head, her pink ponytails drawing graceful arcs in the air—a textbook example of tsundere behavior.

So, Mine bought more than ten papayas to take home today.

"Seryu Ubiquitous, your daily work is very simple. You just need to help review the case reports submitted by the team leaders! If you finish your work ahead of schedule, you can arrange your remaining time as you see fit. If you do a good job, in addition to the duties of a secretary, I can also give you the authority of a team leader."

"Yes, Vice Minister, Seryu Ubiquitous will do her best!"

Inside the vice minister's office, Seryu Ubiquitous's eyes shone brightly as she looked at him.

In her mind, the captain was someone like Master Ogre, whom she greatly admired. This way, she could take his hand every day to sweep away evil and uphold justice!

Of course, not to mention the even greater admiration for this vice minister who could lead captains like his master!

"Only those with a strong sense of justice can handle the task of reviewing cases. Do you have the confidence?"

Upon hearing his words, Seryu Ubiquitous straightened up with great effort and said spiritedly, "Yes, Seryu Ubiquitous will not tolerate any evildoer and will uphold justice to the death!"

"Very good, very impressive!"

Yotsuba Mahiro nodded in satisfaction.

But then again, that's quite a PUA technique. Whenever justice is mentioned, Seryu Ubiquitous seems to trust it unconditionally.

Using the name of justice as a pretext, he could probably even trick Seryu Ubiquitous into giving birth to a whole football team for him.

Should we say this girl is naive, or foolish...?

However, despite hiring Seryu Ubiquitous as her secretary, her workload has not decreased at all.

Because Seryu Ubiquitous currently knows nothing, he needs to personally guide him for a period of time to learn and accumulate experience in reviewing cases.

In addition, her inexplicable sense of justice leads Seryu Ubiquitous to ask him questions like a curious child whenever she encounters a difficult case.

This has led to an unexpected and significant increase in workload.

He could have simply let Seryu Ubiquitous rely on his intuition and experience to solve cases, but the problem was that the results were all too outrageous.

That's almost exactly the same method as that guy Ogre.

She made mistakes on three out of just four case files, so he had no choice but to teach Seryu Ubiquitous step by step.

"Waaah... I'm sorry, Vice Minister, Seryu Ubiquitous is so stupid, I'm sure I've disappointed you."

Looking at the serious mistake she had made, Seryu Ubiquitous had a long face.

She followed Lord Ogre's instructions exactly, so why did she keep making mistakes?

Seeing her like this, Mahiro gently patted her head and whispered:

"Don't rush. The reason you made mistakes before is because you were in a different position and saw a different view."

So what you need to do now is start from the beginning, and I will teach you how to do it step by step, understand?"

"Yes, Seryu Ubiquitous understands."

Overall, Seryu Ubiquitous is a fairly ambitious girl; at least under his influence, her sense of justice is being gradually corrected.

No longer relying on one's own judgment to act arbitrarily.

However, her and Yotsuba Mahiro's horizons did indeed broaden considerably because of these solved cases, especially their lower limits.

It's simply beyond human imagination.

For example, the unrequited relationship between noble fathers and daughters, or the death of slaves being forced to mate with dangerous species—these disgusting and sordid things happen almost every day in the Imperial Capital.

Things like street robberies, thefts, and even deaths have become the most normal occurrences.

In the past, confessions were often obtained through torture and then the prisoners were put on death row, but Yotsuba Mahiro didn't want to do that.

Because his executions made no distinction between nobles and commoners, his reputation among the commoners soared, making him a thorn in the side of the nobles.

They even jointly petitioned to impeach him.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless.

General Budo did not participate in politics; the only person in the entire military with the authority to dismiss him was the minister.

As for the minister, he would be even less willing to be dismissed.

Who would let a lucky person like him slip away?

It's important to know that it was Mahiro because Mahiro sent many nobles and merchants to prison that he made a lot of money from it.

The minister even regrets not discovering this entirely new track back then.

Clearly, this way you earn far more than the paltry sums those other people give you!

However, what ultimately helped him break free from this job was not Seryu Ubiquitous, but Dr. Fashion.

"Oh, our dear Vice Minister, are you still busy?"

"I remember those children weren't due for their injections yet, were they? Could it be that your dosage ratio is wrong again?"

Yotsuba Mahiro down the file in his hand, looked up at the woman he had transformed from a man, who was leaning against the doorway.

Dr. Fashion has been visiting more than once or twice recently.

But it was basically not a problem with the medication; it was just that it was the day those children were to be injected, so he subconsciously thought of these things.

However, something strange happened: no matter how Dr. Fashion mixed the potions, the children's strength couldn't increase even slightly.

It's like developing resistance to Gastrea Virus; the enhancement drugs simply become ineffective.

It seems that unless they are injected with the original drug, it will have no further effect.

"Oh no, it's just that their potion is finished! The elite team is coming today, so I came to ask you, Vice Minister, if you'd like to come and admire our work?"

"Oh? Really? Then I'll have to take a look."

Upon hearing about the elite squad, he immediately became interested, put down the dossier he was holding, and gave the order:

"Seryu Ubiquitous, I'm going out with Dr. Fashion. You stay here and review the files. If you don't know how to handle something, you can leave it with me, but you must be thorough and not careless, understand?!"

"Yes! Seryu Ubiquitous has upheld the name of justice; the Vice-Minister's justice is Seryu Ubiquitous's justice!"

The girl stood up abruptly and gave a spirited salute.

This child, even though he's been by his side for a long time, still looks so earnest and energetic.

"Hey, it's been a long time, Minister Bill."

"Yes, it has indeed been a long time, Vice-Captain Yotsuba Clan."

Upon arriving at the research institute, he successfully met with Bill, the head of the Assassination Department.

Beside Bill walked six children, each of whom looked very familiar—the same children he had encountered when he first came into this world and led Mine through the forest.

However, while he was sizing up the children, they were also sizing him up.

A clear look of surprise could be seen in their eyes, especially from Pony, who had a Tanba. She looked at him with a mixture of resentment and disbelief.

"So these are your elite squads?" Yotsuba Mahiro jokingly, knowing the answer already.

"That's right. These seven are the elite selected from over a hundred children bought from all over the country. They were supposed to be trained by that idiot Gozuki, but he died. So now we have no choice but to recall them. If all else fails, we'll have to merge them into the reinforcement group."
