Three Colors of Little Girls? (6.1K) (Continued)

As before, I was responsible for the security of the Imperial Capital, assassinations, and some basic intelligence gathering.

The main cause of this incident was the resignation of Bill, the former deputy minister of the Imperial Assassination Department. As a member of the ministerial faction, he completely relinquished the rights of the Assassination Department and chose to retire to his hometown.

Therefore, Yotsuba Mahiro took this opportunity to completely integrate the two departments.

At this point, Minister Honest belatedly realized that everything had already spiraled out of his control.

Not only does Yotsuba Mahiro have General Budo as his backer, whom he has no way to deal with, but now the Assassination Department has completely slipped out of his control, not to mention the young emperor always stirring things up.

This angered Honest so much that he gained several pounds again.

If Honest hadn't reacted in time, the Imperial intelligence agency might have been handed over to Yotsuba Mahiro in the First High School.

I wonder what kind of spell this young-looking boy has cast on the young emperor!

The morning sun slowly rose higher, its warmth turning into intense heat.

Remus and Mekime, two maids, were hanging clothes to dry in the courtyard. Over time, they had matured from their naivety.

They became the two newly appointed head maids of the mansion, primarily responsible for training new recruits.

As for Mine, she remains their superior and Yotsuba Mahiro's closest and most irreplaceable personal maid.

Meanwhile, as the two girls hung out their laundry, Mine stood with her hands on her hips, looking up at the blonde girl lazily sunbathing on the roof.

With her slightly messy short blonde hair, judging from her hair color and figure, she bears some resemblance to Cornelia.

But she is not Cornelia.

Instead--

"Leone! You're slacking off and sleeping in again! I went to great lengths to convince the master to let you come work as a guard in my house, not to pay you so you could sleep in here!"

Mine put her hands on her hips and scolded her in dissatisfaction.

That's right, the mature woman who looks just like Cornelia is Leone, and she's also the kind person Mine met back then.

Because the manor's security detail was vacant, and Leone was quite skilled, she asked her master to hire him for thirty gold coins per month.

But to my surprise, this guy was either sleeping in and slacking off every day, or he was outsourcing the work!

Every day, Mine so angry she was jumping up and down!

"Head Maid, why don't we try to tease her using the master's methods?" Mekime suggested, squinting at Leone.

Mine was taken aback, then nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right, Remus, could you go to the kitchen and get a meat bone?"

"Yes."

A mischievous smile appeared on Remus' pretty face as she tugged at her skirt and ran towards the kitchen.

Two minutes later, sure enough, they produced a meat bone.

Mine weighed the bone in her hand, then shouted forcefully, "Hey, Leone, catch!"

All I saw was her forcefully throw the bone in her hand in her direction, and it flew over her head amidst the whistling wind.

Leone lazily opened her eyes a crack, not even glancing at the meat bone, her mocking golden eyes looking at Mine and the other two as if to say "idiots."

"Damn it, you stupid Leone, why didn't you catch it?!" Mine yelled.

"Haha, little Mine, you're actually trying to Mahiro me like Master Shinjiro did? But you're nowhere near as good. At least figure out my preferences first."

Leone lazily rolled over, continuing to enjoy the warmth of the sun.

"Hey, why not? Leone used to rush out and grab the bone like a dog when Master threw it out," Mekime said, puzzled.

Neither Mine nor Remus could come up with an answer to this.

Leone, standing on the rooftop, waved and said, "I get to drink Mahiro Lord Mahiro, but what good will it do me to curry favor with you?"

Leone's words were a wake-up call.

That's true.

I remember the owner always teased Leone with a bottle of wine, no wonder this guy cooperated so well, it turns out it was all for the sake of drinking!

They have absolutely no morals!

Because she couldn't teach Leone a lesson, Mine so angry she could grind her teeth.

"Oh, right, little one, I have to go out for lunch. I'll find someone to cover for me and watch the house later."

Just as Mine was sulking, Leone said lazily.

"Hmph, you've been lazy again and brought that airhead Sheele along? Don't even try, don't you know how much trouble she's caused us!" Mine glared and scolded.

"Don't worry too much, I've already taught her a lesson, Sheele won't cause any trouble this time."

"You always say that, don't you!"

"Don't worry, things won't turn out like last time, where we treated those thugs like guests," Leone said with a grin.

"I don't care. If anything happens, see how your master deals with you when he gets back," Mine said, hands on her hips.

Leone smiled dismissively, then flipped over and disappeared from the rooftop like a cat.

At the same time.

Yotsuba Mahiro is unusually diligently working in the Secret Police, while Seryu Ubiquitous is attentively assisting him.

Over the course of two years, as Yotsuba Mahiro's status continued to rise, Seryu Ubiquitous's status also rose accordingly, and she became the vice-minister of the Secret Police.

However, although she was nominally called the deputy minister, she actually did the work of a secretary and team leader, just like before.

The only change is in her figure and appearance; she has become more mature and radiant, with a touch of allure amidst her heroic demeanor.

This mainly refers to a substantial breakthrough in her relationship with Mahiro.

It's really become a situation where the secretary does everything when there's work to be done, and nothing else... cough cough

However, because their relationship has broken through to a negative distance, Seryu Ubiquitous has also become like a housekeeper.

If Mine was responsible for his daily life, then Seryu Ubiquitous was the one who urged him to work diligently.

I would often pull him back to the office to make him work more diligently.

As a result, every time he worked diligently, he became a nightmare for the nobles in the Imperial Capital, and each time he would randomly raid the home of a nobleman.

There's no way he can ignore it if the law is broken, right?

Since they dared to do so many dirty things right under his nose, they should have to pay a price, right?

However, he did not confiscate the money obtained from the raids, but instead distributed it directly to the captains under his command.

This ensured that the team leaders were well-fed, and almost everyone was genuinely loyal to him.

What used to be a low-paying patrol captain position has now become one of the most lucrative in the entire Imperial Capital under his management.

"Hmm~ Master Mahiro, please take a look at this first."

Seryu Ubiquitous's tight-fitting police uniform was slightly disheveled, her Tanba swayed back and forth, and her delicate and beautiful face was fair with a rosy glow.

She was being held in a chair by Mahiro, but even so, she didn't forget her work at all, pulling out a sheet from the thick stack of documents and placing it in front of him.

"As you requested, this is... the list of people entering the city that Captain Cornelia and Captain Nahashu... investigated. Please... take a look."

By the end, Seryu Ubiquitous's voice had become a soft murmur, and her slender, proud body, laden with fruit, trembled slightly.

Mahiro also stopped what he was doing and focused his attention on the list that Seryu Ubiquitous had drawn.

Because the start of the main story is fast approaching, he has been having Nahashu and his group investigate those entering the city, intending to forcefully insert himself into the plot.

Incidentally, all seven members of Nahashu have now grown into qualified assassins, each leading a small team.

Furthermore, given the merger of the security force and the Assassination Department, their official identity is that of the captain of the security force.

It was always under Mahiro personal command of Mahiro, no matter the circumstances.

As for why there are seven people?

The reason is simple: Akame has defected.

That's right, just like in the original story.

Akame encountered Najenda during a mission, and under her silver tongue, Akame, along with Murasame, defected from the Empire.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was incredulous and utterly bewildered.

Especially his Kurome, which are almost blackened.

She couldn't understand why her sister would betray the empire, why she would leave Yotsuba Clan's side to join the rebels. Wasn't she happy with them?

But one thing they all agreed on was that they all swore to kill Akame, the traitor!

Fortunately, Mahiro intervened and stopped them all, warning them that no one, regardless of who they were, was allowed to kill Akame.

Especially for those with Kurome, never attack someone with Akame!

They didn't understand why.

It's understandable that he doesn't understand, after all, Akame is a spy he planted in Night Raid.

Since Najenda took the initiative to poach his girlfriend, he let Akame do as she pleased.

That's right. Night Raid has now been established and is carrying out various assassination missions within the city. Akame, as one of the most outstanding members of the Imperial Assassination Corps, has naturally become one of their main forces.

Although he enjoys stirring up trouble and watching drama unfold, it doesn't mean he enjoys seeing sisters fight each other or former partners brawling.

So he informed the seven members of the Elite Group about it.

To make it more realistic, he even arranged for Akame to be wanted, so that the Revolutionary Army would completely believe him.

I wonder what kind of expression Najenda will have when she learns the truth?

Surprise, astonishment, or something else?

I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Mahiro slowly withdrew his gaze from Akame's wanted poster beside him, but when he looked at the list of people entering the city, he saw several somewhat familiar names on it.

It's not the three main characters.

Instead--

"Ai Shemirog, Luna Payne, Far Millot?" Mahiro muttered as he looked at the names on the list.

"Mahiro, what's wrong with these people? Is there a problem?" Seryu Ubiquitous also leaned over, looking at the three names with curiosity.

"No, it's nothing. Seryu Ubiquitous, go and tell Nahashu and the others to get ready to work."

"Yes, Mahiro!"

Upon hearing that there was work to be done, Seryu Ubiquitous immediately stood up from his lap.

Bang!

They popped a champagne bottle on the spot.

Despite her trembling legs, Seryu Ubiquitous quickly ran into the bathroom behind the office to wash herself.

He did have some recollection of the names Ai, Luna, Far.

I think there were three little girls of different colors.

And whether it's out of mercy from the TV production team or not, their future is completely different from that in the comics.

In the TV series, they survived peacefully and witnessed the day the Revolutionary Army overthrew the Empire, but in the manga, the three of them suffered a truly tragic fate.

Far had her legs broken for resisting, then her teeth knocked out and her fingers chopped off, while Luna had her eyes gouged out.

Ai watched helplessly as her two companions died one after another, and lived on alone, enduring humiliation and hardship.

Driven by a desire for revenge, Ai catered to all the nobles' desires, even forcing herself to wear a fawning smile while breeding with dangerous individuals under their command.

She eventually saved up enough money to hire Night Raid and killed the nobleman, but she also committed suicide in a corner of the square, dying quietly.

"You'll be coming with me in a little while, understand?"

Mahiro down the list in his hand and suddenly looked up at a dark corner in the office.

A blurry outline appeared there, seemingly nodding gently at him.
