Dona Tea? No, Chelsea Tea (5.1K)

In the first round of probing, the two were evenly matched.

However, it wasn't just Yotsuba Mahiro and Cornelia who were attacked.

The same applies to Nahashu and Green, who are part of the peripheral support team.

As the two were leisurely fishing on the shore, they suddenly noticed an old woman walking slowly towards them from a distance.

"Is she the old lady who came to pick wild vegetables?"

Green made a very naive statement, and Nahashu gave his companion a speechless look.

Such a low-level comment...

"No, my Barbara. I am the eye of Death God Oarburgh, the light of impermanence, watching over your journey to the underworld."

That's what old lady Barbara said!

Chapter 149 Donna Tea? No, it's Chelsea Tea (5.1K)

The activities at the hot spring hotel lasted for a long time.

Finally, Chelsea, still in Cornelia's form, collapsed weakly onto the tatami mat in the room.

My legs trembled involuntarily.

At first, Chelsea would struggle symbolically and say some threatening things.

Later on, it became like a dead fish, completely motionless.

They only make a sound when they can't help it.

Feeling somewhat bored, Yotsuba Mahiro leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear:

"How about we make a deal? How about you show me what you really look like?"

"Hmph... Don't even think about it!"

Chelsea gritted her teeth, closed her eyes tightly, and refused to look at the despicable man in front of her.

"Heh, if you don't want to recreate the original, fine. Your portrayal of Cornelia, however, has a unique charm."

Mahiro smiled indifferently; in fact, he already knew what the girl looked like from the information he had analyzed.

He had already noticed when the girl disguised herself as an eagle and flew in the sky. And to be fair, although it was still early, Chelsea now looked almost exactly like when she first appeared in the original story.

She is very youthful and beautiful, with the vitality of a girl next door or a pure and innocent schoolgirl.

However, he did find himself inexplicably interested in this Gaia Foundation.

In terms of effect, it is similar to the Kudou Family's "Parade of Disguise," both of which allow people to disguise themselves as others. However, from the perspective of dressing up alone...

Gaia Foundation is superior, after all, it can transform into animals and other shapes, but I don't know where the limit is.

However, at this moment...

Chelsea, now free, lay alone on the tatami mat, her eyes slightly open, glancing at Yotsuba Mahiro sitting not far away.

He immediately lowered his head, a bitter feeling washing over him.

It was her first time, but the other person was looking at another woman, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her for no apparent reason.

Yotsuba Mahiro, the head of the Empire's Assassination Department, is handsome, powerful, wields immense authority, and possesses vast wealth—he seems like the perfect marriage prospect...

Unfortunately, the other party is an enemy...

No, not necessarily.

Chelsea suddenly remembered something Barbara had discussed earlier, saying that the information about Yotsuba Mahiro was most likely deliberately leaked to their Revolutionary Army by the Empire's Minister Honest.

If that's the case, doesn't that mean Yotsuba Mahiro is at odds with that fat pig minister?!

Maybe there's still a chance... Chelsea, what the hell are you thinking?!

Feeling the lingering sensation on her body, Chelsea quickly shook her head, trying to dispel the wild thoughts in her mind, when she suddenly found herself being lifted up again.

"Damn it, are you never going to stop?! Huh--?"

Suddenly, Chelsea gripped his shoulders tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning slightly white, and she curled up in his arms like a cat, as if she wanted to pin him down.

The sweat from his body soaked the tatami mat.

That's an astonishing amount of sweat.

"Hey, Miss Chelsea, you're not dead, are you?"

"Hey, Miss Chelsea, are you still conscious?"

"Hey, Miss Chelsea, you..."

After a long while of being questioned three times, Chelsea seemed to catch her breath and let out a long sigh, like a drowning person breathing fresh air again.

Even her long, slender legs, which had been stretched out, slowly lowered back down.

"Hey, you've snapped out of it? How are you feeling?"

The expression on the girl's face now is truly a rare sight.

He really wanted to record that expression—a mixture of resentment, bitterness, and something else entirely.

Take it back and show it to Lina, so that she can express the same emotions next time they play together.

But then he noticed that the girl's lips seemed to be twitching slightly, as if she were saying something.

What are you saying? I can't hear you.

Mahiro lowered his head and even brought his ear close to the screen.

Only then did he hear the other person mutter, "... Bastard... Does it have to be this sudden... I thought... I was dead..."

"Ha, aren't you a little confused about your place, Miss Chelsea?"

"You..."

Chelsea was speechless for a moment, then looked up and stared at him with resentment, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes.

"You... knew my identity all along?"

"That's right, I know everything about you, including your name and the Imperial Arm you use [Transformation Freedom Gaia Foundation]. It's just a pity that you foolishly offered yourself up."

"You bastard, you've been fooling me from the very beginning, haven't you!"

"Yes, that's right. Congratulations on getting it right, but unfortunately there's no reward... If you don't mind, I can also give you a piece of my family's DNA."

"Keep that thing for yourself!"

The girl expressed her anger through gritted teeth, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

However, she was secretly shocked, never expecting that information about her would be leaked to this extent.

Who exactly is it?

Is it the assassination society?

No, impossible. They have no reason to sell themselves.

Could it be the Revolutionary Army...?

Chelsea was unaware that things had escalated to this point, and had no interest in pursuing the matter further.

After all, whether he can make it back alive this time is still unknown.

Ah... I'm still so young, there are so many things I haven't seen and haven't had a chance to enjoy yet, it's such a pity...

As an assassin, she had long anticipated this day would come.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, after thinking about it this way, the girl suddenly felt much clearer-headed and, unusually, raised her head to meet his gaze.

"Oh wow? You've become more proactive. Have you figured something out?"

"Hmph, give me a glass of water, I'm thirsty!" Chelsea said without any politeness.

However, her voice was indeed a bit hoarse, and she had sweated so much that it was a good thing she wasn't dehydrated.

Therefore, Mahiro did not refuse.

"Okay, what kind of water do you want?"

"It's just ordinary water..."

Chelsea replied instinctively, but immediately realized something was wrong.

"Damn it, is there some kind of unusual water here?!"

"Of course there are, like adding the highest-spec computer components, or something like [Dona Tea]... Oh no, you should call it [Chelsea Tea]... Hmm, the candy-flavored kind."

Mahiro a thoughtful expression, and after careful consideration, nodded with great certainty.

After all, Chelsea loves sweets, and she even has a faint, cloying candy scent on her.

It smells wonderful.

Chelsea, on the other hand, was deeply shocked even though she didn't understand any of these things.

Especially the last one!

My instincts told me it was definitely not a good thing!

However, before she could even complain, she heard Yotsuba Mahiro snap his fingers, and then a glass of water was handed to her.

It was contained in a clear glass cup, and inside was the most ordinary, pure liquid.

Chelsea was completely stunned by what she saw.

How did this glass of water appear? What did that man just do? He didn't even try to get up...

"What, are you afraid I'll download computer parts from there? Don't worry, unless you ask me to, I won't do anything sneaky. If I'm going to do something, I'll do it openly and honestly."

"Uh..."

Still in a daze, Chelsea nodded blankly, then picked up her cup and took a small sip.

"So refreshing..."

"Of course, it's all-natural and pollution-free; this is genuine spring water."

"How did you do that? A Teigu?"

"Want to find out my secrets?"

Mahiro smiled slightly, Mahiro waking Chelsea. Then she saw that smiling face casually say to her, "Well, it's okay to tell you. This isn't an Imperial Arm; it's just ordinary 'matter conversion,' or rather, alchemy."

In fact, this is the essence of alchemy.

Just like dreams coming true and words becoming law, everything can be transformed into what one desires.

It appears to appear out of thin air, but in reality, it is simply the transformation of the components of air into matter.

As for the costs and energy consumption, he wasn't quite sure; he only knew that he had expended magical power, and the rest could be considered magic.

After all, he still hadn't fully grasped alchemy; he was only at the level where he could use it freely.

Or rather, given the limited knowledge and comprehension of humankind, it is simply impossible to fathom its true nature.

However, just saying that was enough to leave Chelsea completely stunned.

"That's amazing..."

She even forgot about her current situation.

If this ability were used on the Revolutionary Army, wouldn't that be...?

"You're thinking about how to persuade me to join the Revolutionary Army, right?"

How did you know...?

Chelsea instinctively replied, but immediately covered her mouth as soon as the words left her mouth.

"Alright, alright, I don't have any underhanded abilities like mind reading. It's just that you wear your heart on your sleeve. Besides, you don't need to act like that. You're not the first one trying to persuade me. The last one was Najenda. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Then you... Waaah!"

Chelsea spoke again, but before she could finish, she suddenly let out a small, mournful cry.

"Damn it... you again? Are you a humanoid Teigu? Don't you ever need a break?!"
