A Miracle Beyond Magic-Raising the Dead (5K)

Thus, Kurome, who had the advantage of being close to him, used this willful method to tease him and vent her inner dissatisfaction.

This is really...

Kurome was a little younger than the other girls, and even younger Cornelia; she was far too young to be considered edible.

If it weren't for the fact that I don't have a penchant for pedophilia, I probably would have already taken advantage of this stupid girl.

"Hmph, who told Yotsuba Clan- sama to be so biased, only playing with Cole-nee secretly?" Kurome replied softly, a blush slowly spreading across her cute, fair face.

Look, even now, this girl is still provoking him.

"But Yotsuba Clan, why do you insist on taking Taeko's body back with you?"

At this moment, Akame rode up to his side and asked curiously.

Her eyes were fixed on the hindquarters of the Mahiro, where a long, thin object wrapped in leather was hanging.

That was Taeko's body. Ever since Cornelia killed her that day, Mahiro had impulsively taken the body away.

They originally thought that Mahiro was going to bury Taeko, but they never expected that it would be brought to this point.

Cornelia was also beside Akame, blinking at him; it was clear that Akame was asking on her behalf.

However, Mahiro, "Well, we have to bring back some spoils after all. Chelsea ran away, and besides, you can get a lot of information from dead people."

Yes, Chelsea ran away.

When they returned to the hotel that day, Chelsea had vanished without a trace, leaving only the intact rope lying on the tatami mat.

It's obvious that Chelsea must have used some method, such as Gaia Foundation, to transform herself into a small animal or something, which allowed her to break free of the ropes.

Mahiro, however, wasn't surprised at all.

It's okay if she runs away; the world is only so big, where can she run to?

We'll meet again someday.

As for the issue of corpse decomposition, there is no need to worry at all. The shroud is equipped with a magical activation mechanism. As long as it is continuously supplied with the Psions wave, the corpse will remain frozen and will not decompose.

It works on the same principle as a refrigerated truck.

Although it could be placed inside a ring, I gave up on the idea after thinking about it, since hiding a corpse in a ring is considered unlucky.

At this point, Akame turned around and gave Cornelia a helpless look.

Cornelia understood that whatever Yotsuba Clan- sama's thoughts were, she had no way to refute them.

Returning to the Imperial Capital after a year and a half, I found that the Imperial Capital had undergone considerable changes.

It seemed that security had become much tighter, with the soldiers guarding the city carefully checking everyone entering and leaving, even the carriages of some nobles were thoroughly inspected.

There is only one reason for this --

Former Imperial General Najenda was put on the wanted list, and her portrait was posted everywhere.

The bounty is quite high; regardless of life or death, anyone who captures the fugitive will receive 10,000 gold coins.

Mahiro didn't pay much attention to this, but instead took Cornelia and the others back to the Assassination Department before going into the palace to report back.

Seeing him return safely, some were naturally happy while others were sad.

Both the young emperor and General Budo were relieved that he had returned unharmed without losing a single soldier, and his deeds had already been heard in the palace.

As for the one who was troubled, it was naturally Minister Honest, who tore at his steak with resentment.

Despite his efforts to leak the information, the Revolutionary Army and the Oarburgh Assassination Group were completely useless, failing to harm Yotsuba Mahiro in the slightest.

As a result, he has gained several pounds recently!

Regarding the reward, Mahiro chose to enter the Imperial Treasury and select two Imperial Arms—

The Blade of the Dead [Marching of the Dead - Yatsufusa], and the Imperial Arm [Superpower Burst - Balzac] once used by Najenda's lieutenant.

Chapter 151 A Miracle Beyond Magic - The Resurrection of the Dead (5K)

[The March of the Dead - Yatsufusa] goes without saying.

The Imperial Arms that allows him to control the dead was a gift he prepared for Kurome.

After all, without Yatsufusa's Kurome, would it still be Kurome?

Moreover, with Kurome's current strength, even if she controls eight corpses using Yatsufusa, her stamina will not decrease in the slightest.

However, after Kurome acquired Yatsufusa, she did not return Kiriichimonji.

On the contrary, there's no reason to ask for back gifts given away; you should keep them all.

Oh well, whatever.

As for [Superpower Burst - Balzac], it was prepared for myself.

Mask-type Imperial Arms, said to be able to unleash 100% of the wearer's potential.

So he wanted to see what level he would reach if he unleashed his full potential.

But the result...

I felt nothing before it shattered on the spot.

Even those made from super-dangerous species and the hardest Orichalcum couldn't withstand it.

Or rather, Balzac simply had no way to realize his potential.

After Mahiro finished repairing the mask and scanning the intelligence, he originally planned to give it to the Elite Group to play with.

As a result, none of these girls' wavelengths matched.

Left with no other choice, he could only put the mask away for now and deal with it later.

"Little Mine, Mekime, Remus, I'm back~"

After arranging matters for the Assassination Department and the security team, Mahiro went straight home.

The maids went about their work methodically. It seemed like they hadn't been back for half a year, and there were a few new people in the manor.

The maids were slightly taken aback when they saw Mahiro, wondering where a man had come from in this all-female mansion. It wasn't until the maids who had seen Mahiro before gave the newcomers a flick on the forehead that they realized that he was actually the owner of the mansion!

"Waaah... Master, I miss you so much!!!"

Upon hearing that he had returned, Mine and the other two could no longer control themselves and rushed towards him after seeing him.

Remus and Mekime boldly embraced him, while Mine went even further, tightly wrapping her fair arms around his neck and hanging from his waist.

"Master, Mine misses you so much. Every day you're gone, I dream about you every night. You haven't come back for so long, I thought you'd abandoned Mine, that you didn't want Mine anymore..."

Mine looked up, tears welling in her light pink eyes.

The other two nodded, looking up at Makoto with pitiful Mahiro, as if afraid they would really be abandoned.

That's true. Although half a year is nothing to Mahiro, it's definitely too long for them.

Especially Mine.

I've never been apart from him for this long since I followed him to the western border.

Mine didn't run away from the Imperial Capital to look for him, which shows how much self-control she had. What's more, this six-month separation actually cured Mine's pride and arrogance in a short time.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, I'm back now, aren't I?"

He gently stroked Mine's smooth back, gesturing for her to get off him.

But instead of letting go, Mine hugged him even tighter.

"No, no, that's not enough! Mine demands compensation from Master!"

"Compensation?" Mahiro was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, Mine requests that you sleep with me tonight, Master!" Mine stared at him with her big, round eyes, which were slightly wet with tears.

"Sigh..."

Mahiro couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "Why is it that you didn't used to sleep with me?"

That's right.

Although Mine has her own room, it's more like a dressing room. In reality, Mine has the job of warming his bed, which makes it convenient for Mine to sleep with him all the time, acting as a pillow.

Moreover, this job remained unchanged even after Mekime and Remus arrived.

In her words, it's what the head maid should do!

Anyone who tries to seize this right is challenging her authority as head maid!

His words caused Mine's face to flush slightly, and she immediately turned her head to glare at Remus and Mekime.

They immediately understood, Mahiro, and said they still had work to do.

It was clearly Mine who glared at them and drove them away.

But Mine naturally wouldn't admit to such a thing, so she grabbed his large hand and headed towards the room.

After so long, she had so much to say to her master!

However, after returning to the room, Mine sat in his favorite sofa chair, while Mahiro wrapped her arms around his neck and obediently sat across his lap.

Her white-stockinged legs dangled in the air, swaying slightly as she recounted the various interesting things that had happened over the past six months.

Although they were all trivial things, they were the most precious memories she had accumulated, which she wanted to share with Mahiro.

So he didn't interrupt and listened quietly.

After Mine finished speaking, he also shared the various things he had encountered during his mission.

Of course, this does not include his intimate relationships with those six girls.

But how could something like this possibly escape Mine's notice?

Although she would tense up and clutch his clothes when she heard about some critical moments, such as when the Revolutionary Army came to rescue General Najenda, most of the time, Mine would puff out her cheeks as if she were sulking.

"... Master, Mine has also grown in the past six months."

"Hmm? What growth?"

It seems there haven't been any changes since six months ago, right?

Just as he was thinking this, Mine had already unbuttoned her clothes, then grabbed his large hand and stuffed it inside her clothes until her fingers touched his warm, jade-like skin.

"Ugh... Master, for the past six months, Mine has been consistently eating papaya and drinking milk... Mine must have grown quite a bit, right??"

"It does seem a bit bigger..." Mahiro commented very carefully.

Feeling the Mahiro care that Mine comfortably squinted her large eyes.

Unable to bear it any longer, she leaned against him, breathing heavily.

Even the shoes wrapped around her white silk-clad feet, which were suspended in mid-air, accidentally fell to the ground, her rounded toes curling up together.

It's so cute, it's like a pet.

However, seeing that Mine could no longer hold on, he did not continue.

After all, there are still important things to do.

Then, he took out the [Pumpkin Pumpkin] that he had stolen from Najenda and handed it to Mine.

"Master, what is this...?"

Mine stared in astonishment at the enormous gun in her hand, which was almost as tall as her.

For some reason, when she held the gun in her hand, she inexplicably felt a sense of connection.

It was as if this gun was born to belong to her.

"This is one of the 48 Imperial Arms crafted by the First Emperor, called [Pumpkin Pumpkin]. It previously belonged to Najenda, but I seized it and am giving it to you as a gift."

"Imperial... Imperial Arms?!"

Upon hearing this word, Mine gasped in surprise and quickly shoved the object back into his arms, saying in alarm:

"No, Master, this is too precious! How can Mine accept it!"

Although she really liked the gun, and although it seemed to be destined for her, how could she possibly want it!
