Yesterday Once More?! (6K) (Continued)

"Master, Master."

Remus called out in a weak voice.

"No, your voice isn't sweet enough. Use the sweetest, gentlest voice possible!"

Mine, extremely dissatisfied, arched her back and spoke in a harsh and disrespectful voice that was practically an insult to her master!

"I'm sorry!!" They were still a little hesitant, perhaps not quite used to switching roles so quickly.

"Call me again, or I won't get dinner!"

"Owner!"

This time, they called out very sweetly, perhaps because they heard there would be no dinner.

However, this call made Mahiro feel quite comfortable, and it reminded him of the adorable Sakurai Minami.

I wonder what she does at home?

Remus and Mekime Mine escaped the fate of dying upon their first appearance in the original work. They wore the same black and white maid outfits with absolute territory as Mine, and even their slender and toned legs were covered with black and white stockings.

It looks very pleasing to the eye.

But that's all. They don't know anything now and have to be taught everything from scratch by Mine.

For example, when to get up and start cleaning, how to wash clothes, how to make a proper breakfast, etc...

There are strict rules and regulations regarding the washing of clothes.

For example, only she, as the head maid, was qualified to wash the master's personal clothing.

If she gave it to someone else, Mine was worried that it wouldn't be washed properly. Besides, those were her master's personal clothes; how could she let them fall into someone else's hands!

What if it gets used for some heinous things?!

Mine was very strict about this, and no maid in the manor dared to trespass on her.

Although both Remus and Mekime needed training, they were happy to accept Mine's maid training.

Having witnessed the hardship and cruelty of assassin training three or four years ago on the day they were sold to the Imperial Capital, the training before them suddenly seemed much more mundane!

"Mekime, I feel so happy with my life right now. Yotsuba Clan- sama is so good to us." Remus, a girl who was hanging clothes to dry, suddenly smiled happily at the girl with glasses next to her.

Remus was often called an idiot by Little Silver during her previous assassin training because she was indecisive and clumsy, which often caused their group to be punished.

However, during the training she was undergoing, she seemed to have been reborn, as if she was born for this job.

"Idiot! You need to call me 'master' now. If the head maid hears you, you'll get scolded."

While talking to her, Mekime didn't stop working, hanging the wrung-out clothes on the bamboo pole to dry.

"Whee!"

Remus cutely stuck out her pink tongue.

"Look, we can wear cute and pretty clothes every day and enjoy delicious food that we make ourselves."

And once training is over, I can arrange my remaining time as I please, doing whatever I want. It feels like I've found a warm home again, so free and at ease!

"If Kurome and the others knew how we live now, they'd be incredibly envious."

Remus couldn't help but look up at the azure sky above.

She had dreamt of this kind of life countless times before, and now it had finally come true!

--There's no need to live in fear of dying every day, or be trapped in a dark room all day.

Now, all you have to do is look up and you can see the blue sky and white clouds!

They escaped the dark cage and returned to a normal life.

Imprisoned in the dark assassination headquarters, to be honest, I didn't think much of it before because I was only thinking about surviving.

But now that I've seen how wonderful the world is, I'm worried I'll go back to my old life.

"It's far from that. Look at how Master treats Head Maid Mine, that's much better. But we've just become a member of the family, so we need to learn to be content with simple things. If we just stay in the Assassination Department, we won't even know when we'll die."

Mekime's voice was filled with deep emotion, her heart overflowing with gratitude and admiration for Mahiro.

If she stayed in the assassination squad, Mekime knew that one day she would either die from a drug overdose or die accidentally during an assassination mission.

Moreover, normally, being eliminated during training should result in punishment by the Minister.

Unexpectedly, this official not only did not hand them over to the minister for punishment, but also stepped in to rescue them, freeing them from that sea of suffering.

Just like when we first met, he was so gentle, even the medicine in my body didn't feel so bad...

That's why she really envied the relationship between Mine and that man, especially the feeling of being pampered.

Remus is the same in this respect.

"That's right, their relationship is so good it doesn't seem like that of a master and maid at all. I wish our master could spoil us like that."

Remus clasped her hands together, her face full of longing, and imagined that adult gently stroking her head.

It must be very warm...

"Yes, I'll try my best to gain Master's approval. Yesterday, I went shopping with Mine Maid Mine, and that was the first time I truly witnessed what the Imperial Capital looked like. It's so prosperous!"

Mekime's eyes lit up as she said, "Girls are naturally drawn to excitement."

Sold to the Assassination Department in the Imperial Capital from a young age, they had never had the chance to see the wider world before.

Every day, besides the dark, sunless prison cell, he had to face those death row inmates.

"Yes, we can accompany Mine Maid Mine on her sightseeing tour of the Imperial Capital every afternoon, and help her carry cooking ingredients. She said that if we perform well, we can earn our own commission to buy the things we like in the future," Remus said, blinking.

"But the condition for it is lifelong loyalty to the master— Yotsuba Clan! It's like selling yourself to that lord!"

Mekime's original dream was to one day emerge alive from the Assassination Department.

And then he lived in the bustling Imperial Capital he had always dreamed of.

And now, all of this has suddenly come true. As the master's maid, her living conditions are far better than the life she had imagined in her mind. She was too naive before.

If this is a dream, she'd rather remain in it forever, never waking up to face that cruel reality again.

"It's alright! Remus plans to follow her master for life and be his obedient maid!"

Remus said firmly, "I already consider this place my home."

As long as you can live a happy and fulfilling life, what's the big deal about being a maid?

You should know that the maids under other nobles didn't have such a happy life; it was rumored that they were even forced to mate with dangerous species...

She wouldn't want that kind of thing!

Mekime chuckled, "Remus, it seems you're not so stupid after all."

The two women couldn't help but exchange a smile.

On the other hand.

In the forest.

The assassination squad continued their intensive training.

Every day, Yotsuba Mahiro brings them different surprises and unique experiences.

But today, he was cornered in the cabin by the girls from the assassination squad.

"What are you planning to do? Are you trying to rebel?"

A group of Mahiro women surrounded Zhenxun, all blocking his way and showing no intention of letting him leave.

"Yotsuba Clan, this is unfair!"

"It's you again."

Mahiro sized up the girl in front of him.

The one who just spoke was Pony.

With her hands on her hips, a sparse chest, and legs that were well-toned from regular exercise, she was the first to step forward.

"Since you say I'm being unfair, then tell me, where have I been unfair?"

"Yotsuba Clan, you're so unfair! You're secretly giving Little Silver and Tsukushi special treatment, waaaaah...!!"

Cornelia quickly stepped forward and covered Pony's mouth, pulling the waving little girl aside, and then explained:

"It's like this, Lady Yotsuba Clan. We already know that you gave Little Silver and Tsukushi special treatment that day, so... we'd like to have the same treatment too," Cornelia, as their leader, made her request.

I waited anxiously for his reaction.

"That's right, that's right..."

Pony, who had been pulled aside, pouted and nodded, looking very aggrieved.

She had clearly resolved to train hard, but what was the result?

For some reason, Little Silver and Tsukushi suddenly became incredibly strong. Even though she gave it her all, she ended up getting last place in one of the training sessions!

I didn't eat anything that day.

Even recently, Tsukushi and Little Silver have been making progress at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

As for how they discovered it, it all started a few days ago when they were bathing in the river.

"Hey, Little Silver and Tsukushi, what's with your clothes? They're so... so pretty!!"

After taking off her top, the women noticed that Little Silver was wearing a black bra underneath.

Although it's just a solid color, the black perfectly accentuates her figure, and the white trim around it makes her look very alluring.

Tsukushi's hair was pale yellow, just like her yamafuki-colored hair.

This greatly surprised Cornelia.

After all, I was wearing the same simple white tank top as them before!

"Wow, yeah, it looks like a washbasin."

Kurome curiously picked it up and held it up to her chest, only to find that it couldn't be filled to the brim like it could be filled with Tsukushi.

There was more than half of the space inside empty, so it was impossible to hang anything.

Tsukushi blushed and explained softly:

"Because yesterday, Little Silver, who came in last place, suddenly complained to Lord Yotsuba Clan that he was too big and it affected the fairness of the special training, so Lord Yotsuba Clan gave this to us and let us wear it."

"Hehe! With them supporting me and protecting me firmly, I don't have to worry about losing my balance. Even if I run around randomly, it will feel so comfortable," Little Silver said proudly.

"Indeed. Mine isn't as big as yours, but it still feels uncomfortable to run on."

Cornelia, supporting herself with one hand, also wore a troubled expression.

Although she is rather tall, her physical development is only average, second only to Little Silver and Tsukushi.

"Ugh... No wonder I lost to you two today! Yotsuba Clan- sama is so biased! She only prepared new clothes for the two of you. Why does she only care about the two of you?"

Pony pouted and looked at them with dissatisfaction.

Because of these two simple yet beautiful clothes, she didn't even get to eat lunch today.

"Pony, with your and Kurome's sizes, whether you wear them or not won't make any difference, right? Maybe you'll only be able to wear them on your buttocks," Little Silver said with a playful laugh.

Pony's butt is indeed a bit big, after all, she often does leg training, and her special skills and explosive power can be said to be all in her legs.

But this didn't stop Pony from turning red with anger.

He immediately pounced on the Little Silver, venting his anger by kneading them forcefully with both hands. "Damn it, what's so great about being a little bigger!"

"You idiot, it hurts! Stop scratching!"

"Hmph, all I can see is that they look like cows; they're just a burden. What good are they?! They're only nice to rub because they're soft, but who do you think would have the time to play with them?!"

Pony and Little Silver were making a ruckus nearby, while Kurome tugged at the collar of her vest, and all she could see was a smooth, unobstructed road.

She turned to look at her older sister, who was also wearing a vest, and realized that she couldn't even compare to her sister...

"Kurome, don't be discouraged, you'll definitely grow bigger if you eat more meat!"

Akame noticed her sister's low spirits, so she came over and patted her shoulder to comfort her.
