Before the Mission Was Even Done, I Suddenly Became Extra-Large (5.1K)

Cornelia whispered playfully in his ear.

Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."

According to the normal plot development, shouldn't he say something like, "I'm very angry," or "Woman, you're playing with fire," and then force-feed him two cream puffs?

Oh no, it should be three.

However, before he could do anything, Cornelia had already pulled the blanket over her head.

On the surface, it looks like she's going to sleep, but actually...

"Hiss--"

"Lord Yotsuba Clan? What's wrong?"

Hearing his inhale, Little Silver couldn't help but speak up, wondering if she had accidentally hurt Mahiro somewhere.

"It's okay, go to sleep." Mahiro rubbed his head, trying to comfort him.

"Ugh... how can I possibly sleep like this...?"

Little Silver complained softly.

That's true.

Now, apart from the clueless and idiotic Pony who didn't participate, the other three in the room have no chance of sleeping.

Whether it's him, Little Silver, or Cornelia.

For some inexplicable reason, he ended up playing the role of the "super-sized cup" in all of this.

And that night, the cream puffs didn't get filled with cream, because the cream was stolen and eaten by a certain Hagiah.

Nothing more was said that night.

The next day.

As usual, everyone gathered together for breakfast. After Akame, Tsukushi, and Kurome learned that Mahiro had stayed in Cornelia's room for the night,...

The three women expressed their envy and asked Mahiro to stay in their room for the night as well.

Mahiro agreed, while subtly glancing towards Little Silver.

They found that Little Silver's face was flushed and her hair was covered in rice. Pony, who was standing next to her, was curious about why she was blushing so much, but she didn't get a response from Little Silver.

She was so brave last night, but now she's so shy.

Look at Cornelia, as dignified and poised as ever, as if nothing happened last night.

My appetite has decreased significantly.

She shared most of her food with the two sisters, Akame and Kurome.

After breakfast, when Akame and the others were about to go to Cornelia's room to play cards, Taeko, as always, came to visit.

"Taeko?! You're free to come over today too?"

Cornelia was pleasantly surprised by Taeko's arrival, after all, she had finally made a friend.

But Taeko's reaction was indifferent; she merely nodded slightly.

No one found it strange, after all, Taeko was such a cold beauty, and sometimes they even compared her to Akame Taeko.

The two are indeed quite similar in some ways.

However, when Cornelia took Taeko's hand and led her into the room, Taeko stood still.

"Taeko?"

"Cornelia, would you like to go for a walk with me? I'd like to talk to you; it's around here."

"Huh?"

Taeko was somewhat surprised, but with her companions' permission, Cornelia followed Taeko away.

As Mahiro sat by the window drinking, looking down at the scenery, he happened to see Cornelia following Taeko out of the hotel.

"That idiot..."

Mahiro shook his head and chuckled softly, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

He didn't tell Cornelia about Taeko's identity; rather, this was a private test for Cornelia.

After all, in some ways, this girl is indeed too naive; she won't grow up without experiencing certain things.

But there's absolutely no need to worry about safety.

Not to mention the effects of the enhancement drugs, which have already made her body far beyond the realm of ordinary people, she wouldn't die even if she suffered a fatal injury.

Even the Crusher King was modified by him.

They secretly added a Decomposition technique to the Crusher King.

Like Pumpkin, the spell will activate whenever Cornelia's emotions fluctuate significantly.

If this still doesn't Taeko, then Cornelia really needs to be retrained.

"However, that old woman has started making her move too... I hope those two lads Nahashu and Green, won't embarrass me."

Mahiro muttered to himself as he poured himself another glass of wine.

However, not long after, the door to the room was suddenly opened.

"Um... Mahiro, I hope I haven't disturbed you?" Cornelia stood in the doorway and said to him sweetly.

Mahiro paused slightly, staring at Cornelia with some surprise.

A moment later, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and the smile he used most often appeared on his face, a smile as enigmatic as Maya's.

"Why are you back so soon? Did you finish talking with Taeko?"

"Um... we chatted casually about some topics between girls."

Cornelia nodded slightly, speaking somewhat shyly, and then entered the room with his permission.

"Oh, a private topic between girls... In that case, I won't ask. Come on, have a drink with me."

Mahiro didn't pay any attention, but instead picked up the sake pot and took out another empty cup to fill it.

However, that cup was more like a large bowl than a cup, hence the name "cup".

It looks shallow on the surface, but it can actually hold a lot; it emptied the wine jug completely.

Cornelia's eyes twitched as she watched.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing... it's nothing."

Cornelia forced an awkward smile, and at the other person's prompting, she picked up the wine bowl, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing how decisive the other party was, Mahiro almost burst out laughing.

It seems we don't just have an idiot on our side, the other side has one too...

Chapter 148 A Failed Mission Leads to Death, Then Transformed into a Super-Sized Cup (5.1K)

"Ughhhhhh... What kind of wine is this? Why is it so spicy?!"

"Damn it, does Cornelia even know how to drink...? Should I pretend to be nonchalant or pretend she's burning up from the spiciness?!"

Cornelia was internally ranting and raving.

After downing a glass of wine, the expression on her face became even more fascinating.

This Cornelia was actually Chelsea using Gaia Foundation to transform herself, with the aim of getting close to Yotsuba Mahiro an opportunity to assassinate him.

The girl had originally planned to walk over and sit down next to the man, but he suddenly poured her a bowl of wine, disrupting her entire plan.

Thinking this, Chelsea looked up and, sure enough, saw Yotsuba Mahiro observing her with a smile.

Cornelia, as an assassin in the Imperial Assassination Department, needs to deal with all sorts of situations, so she'll definitely be drinking... Just pretend nothing's wrong.

Sure enough, after Chelsea came out pretending to be still not satisfied, Yotsuba Mahiro's probing gaze lessened considerably.

"Phew... Thank goodness, I got away with it..."

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief.

However, once she relaxed, the effects of the alcohol kicked in a little, causing her face to flush.

Ugh... I need to find a way to finish the mission quickly, otherwise I won't be able to hold out for much longer...

Just as Chelsea was thinking this, under her slightly lowered gaze, Yotsuba Mahiro magically produced another flask of sake and filled her bowl to the brim.

"Again?!" Chelsea couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Huh? What's wrong? You usually drink with me all night long, why can't you during the day?"

"Oh no... I mean, didn't you hear what Taeko said to me?"

"I am indeed somewhat curious."

Mahiro chuckled, pushed the glass towards Cornelia, and said, "But drinking is more important. Come on, let's finish this drink together first."

"Ugh..."

Chelsea let out a small, inward sigh.

Looking at the swirling wine in her glass, the pervasive odor was almost blinding, leaving her unsure whether to drink it or not.

If she doesn't drink it, she'll give herself away.

"Fine, if I'm going to die, I'll fight to the death!"

Chelsea gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to burst into tears, picked up her glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Cough cough..."

After finishing her drink, Chelsea coughed slightly, seemingly choking. However, this time she was smarter and placed the glass beside her, away from Yotsuba Mahiro.

But it seemed a bit late; she felt her head starting to spin.

"Alright, tell me, what did Taeko say to you?"

Chelsea was already a little drunk, but Chelsea had no choice but to answer this wretched man's questions!

"Actually... it's nothing really."

Chelsea mimicked Cornelia's tone, adopting a slightly shy expression, and whispered, "Taeko said she greatly Mahiro you, Makoto-sama..."

"Oh, nothing surprising. I have a lot of admirers; they could probably stretch from the Imperial Capital to the southern border," Mahiro said casually.

That bastard, he's so narcissistic!

He is indeed quite handsome...

"But besides, Cornelia, weren't you one of those who admired me back then?"

"Um..."

Cornelia gave a quiet reply.

But seeing him pick up his glass and drink, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt like crying.

Please... please, please don't pour any more alcohol...

If she drinks any more, she'll probably really get drunk, though she'll likely have some difficulty moving around now.

As if heaven had heard Chelsea's prayers, Yotsuba Mahiro stood up, but did not pour any more wine.

Thank God...

Chelsea was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when something even more horrifying happened.

This man, Yotsuba Mahiro, actually started taking off his clothes right in front of her!

"Hey hey hey... Mahiro Shinhiro, what are you doing?!" Chelsea said, her tongue almost tied in knots.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Mahiro untied the sash of his loose bathrobe, then walked up to Cornelia, looking down at the incredibly nervous girl.

He gently lifted Cornelia's chin, a hint of mockery in his smile, and said:

"Remove the word 'what'!"
