Woman, You're Playing with Fire (5.1K)

Those thighs, honed through years of training, were remarkably toned and long, slightly pressed together.

Every inch of her muscle definition exuded an astonishing elasticity and power. A few drops of water slid slowly down her snow-white neck and delicate collarbone, shimmering in the moonlight.

As her breathing quickened slightly, the perfect curve of her chest, accentuated by the water droplets, rose and fell gently...

How can you possibly respond when a girl with such a perfect figure and looks utters such humble words to you?

The answer is probably obvious.

Chapter 147 Woman, You're Playing with Fire (5.1K)

After soaking in the hot spring, it was already broad daylight. Wearing a yukata, Taeko returned to her room and found Chelsea already back, having breakfast with Instructor Barbara.

"Come and try it! The breakfast at this hotel truly lives up to its reputation," Chelsea said to her senior.

Taeko nodded and quietly sat down opposite Instructor Barbara. As she quietly cut her breakfast, she asked with concern, "Chelsea, do they have any new intelligence on the Revolutionary Army?"

"It's nothing. The Revolutionary Army in the southwest has already received General Najenda, who has defected, and brought her to headquarters. In two or three days, General Najenda, along with the other high-ranking officers, should personally go to cooperate with the foreign tribes on behalf of the Revolutionary Army to jointly resist the Empire..."

Chelsea said nonchalantly, cutting off a small piece of food and putting it in her mouth.

"Mmm~ This is the most proper food I've had in the past few days!" Chelsea was almost moved to tears.

These past few days, she's been traveling with Barbara on missions, enduring hardships and sleeping outdoors. It was only thanks to the target's group staying at the hot spring hotel that she was able to taste normal food again.

"Heh, in that case, the Empire should have taken notice. After all, a general who has betrayed the Empire—her every move will attract a lot of attention."

Barbara didn't care at all about her apprentice's reaction.

Chelsea nodded and said, "Yes, the Empire has issued a bounty on General Najenda, but suspiciously, they haven't taken any other action. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Army headquarters wants us to hold off the Imperial Assassination Corps here, worried that something similar to what happened to the governor of Lelang City in the north a while ago might occur."

"Oh? Just stalling them?"

"No, it would be best to kill them."

Chelsea's expression suddenly turned serious. She pulled out a stack of portraits, spread them out in front of the two of them, and then pointed to the young man in the middle, saying, "Especially this man. If the Revolutionary Army wants us to, we'd better eliminate him."

"Has it been confirmed?"

"Yes, that's right, this man is indeed the head of the Imperial Assassination Corps — Yotsuba Mahiro."

Just as Barbara guessed.

Not only that, this man's strength is also somewhat unfathomable.

She also recalled that when the liaison officer handed her the portrait, he repeatedly emphasized, "Don't act rashly unless you are absolutely certain."

Is this man really that scary?

"Huh... where's the intelligence source?"

Barbara squinted her eyes, studied the portrait for a moment, then looked up and met Chelsea's gaze.

"I've inquired, and it seems to have come from some important figure in the Imperial Capital."

"Heh, so that means not only the Revolutionary Army wants this person dead, but the Empire itself does too. What a brilliant move to use someone else to do the dirty work..."

Having worked as an assassin for so many years, based on the current state of the empire, Barbara could roughly guess who was providing the intelligence.

Using them to eliminate one's rivals, etc...

Although it was a rather unpleasant thing, Barbara wasn't too bothered by it.

After all, this is exactly what the Oarburgh Assassination Group does; as long as the money is right, they'll kill whoever they want!

"Do... do we really have to do this?" Chelsea, sounding worried.

"There's no turning back now. The moment we stepped into this hotel, we were probably already being watched by this man."

"!!!"

Both Chelsea and Taeko were taken aback.

They've been targeted so quickly?

They haven't done anything yet!

"But don't worry, they probably don't know who we are yet, so we still have a chance."

Barbara said with a chuckle, though there was a hint of malice in that smile.

"But this operation is different from the past; it's not suitable to have a direct confrontation with the target. So, Chelsea, this operation will depend entirely on you."

Glug!

Chelsea, with a lollipop in her mouth, swallowed hard.

This was the first time in all this time that she had heard Barbara say something like that.

"Instructor, is this man really that strong? He doesn't seem to be very famous." It was Taeko who spoke; she had indeed never heard of Yotsuba Mahiro.

"Indeed, his name is not known in the martial arts world, but we must not be careless. He might be an extremely powerful Imperial Arms user," Barbara said cautiously.

"I see."

Taeko nodded, then said expressionlessly, "However, Instructor, I ran into this man at the hot spring last night and learned a little bit of information about him."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Barbara was somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Taeko approached her target so easily.

"Yes, he and Cornelia are in a relationship, that's the girl."

Taeko pointed to the most mature-looking long-haired girl in the portrait on the desktop.

Barbara couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the mature young woman in the portrait.

"Taeko, you did a great job! Keep trying to get in touch with this girl Cornelia and see if you can get any other important information from her."

"And Chelsea, you shouldn't go out in public for now. Stay by my side; I might need to use your Teigu's abilities."

As she spoke, Barbara's smile grew even more sinister, her withered, tree-bark-like face twitching.

She hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise, but this gave her a foolproof assassination plan.

In the following days.

While Mahiro and the girls were enjoying their short vacation, they also discovered this.

It seems that Taeko and Cornelia are communicating more and more frequently, and Cornelia has even introduced Taeko to other people.

In some ways, Cornelia is just as stupid as Pony.

However, when talking about Cornelia, one thing must be mentioned.

Since breaking through that barrier, this girl has become increasingly bold during her stay at the hot spring hotel.

It's like someone who's "once they've tasted the marrow, they're never satisfied." Whenever they have free time, they'll drag him to various hidden corners of the hotel to do it.

Sometimes, when a waiter suddenly walks by in the corridor, it gives Cornelia quite a fright.

Even so, even though she was repeatedly defeated, she still relentlessly came to their door, eventually becoming so bold as to dare to confront those girls in front of them.

Just like tonight, Cornelia deliberately made him stay overnight.

Little Silver and Pony, the two idiots who were roommates, were overjoyed, so much so that they didn't even realize Cornelia's intentions...

No, even if it were Akame and Tsukushi, they wouldn't have guessed it.

The two lively girls pulled back the covers and started playfully fighting over the empty spot next to him.

On the other side, Cornelia naturally took control, but neither of them dared to lay a hand on Cornelia, the big sister, so the two of them engaged in a royal city PK.

In the end, Little Silver won and slept beside him.

But Pony wouldn't give up, and after the lights were turned off, she started arguing with Little Silver again.

"Damn it, you idiot, how dare you launch a sneak attack!"

In the darkness, the moonlight, though dim, was enough for Mahiro see some things, such as Little Silver being pulled by Pony's yukata, and a perfectly teardrop-shaped penis playfully popping out.

Little Silver yelled and retaliated by tugging at Pony's clothes in return.

"Wow, Little Silver, you really dared to come!" Pony exclaimed softly.

Because her breasts were less developed than Kurome', her clothes were much easier to remove than Little Silver's, and Little Silver simply stripped her off completely.

But this crazy girl had no intention of hiding anything, letting her body be exposed, she rolled over and pinned Little Silver's plump body down, laughing triumphantly.

"Hmph, let's see what you're going to do now!"

"You two idiots, what time is it? Go to sleep!"

With two sharp thuds, Mahiro out and gave each of the two girls a flick on the forehead.

Pony and Little Silver cried out in pain, adorably clutching their heads.

"Yotsuba Clan, please stop hitting Little Silver's head! What if he turns into an idiot like Pony?"

"Wow, Little Silver, you... who are you calling stupid?"

"Of course it's you, you idiot!"

They had barely calmed down for two seconds when the two started arguing again.

"Seriously, you two, shut up for a second!"

To separate the two who were about to fight, Mahiro grabbed Little Silver's slender waist and pulled her back into his arms.

Realizing that she was lying against Mahiro's chest, Little Silver suddenly became quiet and obedient.

On the other side, Pony seemed to have noticed this, and immediately puffed up her cheeks, angrily covering her head completely with the blanket.

Little Silver smiled and shifted her body, seemingly trying to find a more comfortable position in his arms.

Gradually, Mahiro felt a soft, warm sensation on the back of his hand.

Because of their earlier roughhousing, Little Silver's yukata had completely come undone.

"Tsk..."

Mahiro clicked his tongue, grabbed them, and helped Little Silver put them back into his clothes. However, Little Silver turned to the side and pinned him down, preventing him from pulling his hand away while also allowing him to move his hand more freely.

"..."

"Ugh...?!"

Little Silver, who had been pinched hard, let out a cry of pain, though it wasn't painful at all; rather, it was somewhat alluring.

It must be said that Little Silver has truly achieved remarkable results in the field of micro-branching.

Despite having a very slender waist, her development was unusually astonishing.

However, the teardrop shape is the most prone to sagging.

Mahiro, when Gin was developing, she used a bra to properly support and protect her, which prevented Little Silver figure from going out of shape. Over the years, she has become quite plump and elastic.

Of course, this natural shape cannot compare to the tight spherical shape of Tsukushi; its value lies in its softness.

Little Silver pressed her jade-like back tightly against Mahiro's body, letting them change shape as they pleased.

"Giggle, it tickles! Yotsuba Clan- sama, it's okay if you squeeze a little harder like before."

Little Silver's cheeks flushed, and she breathed heavily, giggling softly. Her actions became increasingly bold; she even grabbed his hand and, after squeezing his breasts, squeezed his little bread.

They seemed to think that by hiding under their blankets, no one would notice their little actions.

At the same time, her slender body trembled uncontrollably, and she looked down with curiosity.

However, at that moment, Mahiro suddenly felt someone grab the joystick!

And then a warm and soft sensation pressed against me.

It was obvious that it was Cornelia, but I didn't expect her to be so bold.

"Are you really going to go this far?"

Mahiro his body and head to the side, just in time to meet Cornelia's gaze.

Even under the cover of night, he could still see those bright, beautiful eyes, which were smiling.

"What does it matter... Also, Yotsuba Clan- sama, don't stop what you're doing, or Little Silver will notice."
