The masked woman and the airhead (5.5K)
"... I see."
"We've finally arrived in the Imperial Capital. By the way, Luna, what kind of person is our master?"
Inside a carriage outside the Imperial Capital city walls sat three twelve- or thirteen-year-old girls from the countryside.
One of the little girls, with long pink hair, wearing a pink dress and a pink hat, exuding a sweet pink aura, whispered a question to the little girl sitting in the middle who was dressed in a blue hooded outfit.
"He's probably an older man, maybe he's only interested in our bodies like a wild animal."
In contrast to the one next to her, the little girl sitting in the middle was blue, including her pupils and hair, especially her eyes, which were as beautiful as sapphires.
"If that's the case, I'll interrupt his OO and run away," said the last blonde little girl.
"... OO?"
The pink-haired loli, Ai, had two question marks popping into her head, unable to understand what the blonde loli meant.
The three of them are the pink Ai Shamirog, the blue Luna Pain, and the gold Far Miyut, collectively known as the Three-Colored Lolis.
Hearing her companion say this, Luna felt a little worried.
"Far, is this really okay?"
"Of course, no problem."
Far patted her chest and said wistfully, "We're not like the country girls who were sold there. The three of us are elites chosen to serve in the Imperial Capital! We must work hard, find a good man to marry, and start our dream life in the Imperial Capital!"
Like other country folk, Far was full of longing for the Imperial Capital, completely unaware of just how dark the Imperial Capital really was.
"I think you're overthinking it, Far."
Unlike Far's naive and romantic nature, Luna is a sentimental young woman.
In fact, due to the poverty caused by the empire's heavy taxes, many impoverished villages began selling their children to make a living at a very young age.
They were just lucky to be bought back by nobles in the Imperial Capital, but in essence, they were not much different from their counterparts who were sold to other cities.
At this moment, the carriage finally passed through the city gates of the Imperial Capital and headed down the street towards the noble district, eventually stopping in front of a mansion.
As the three-colored loli stepped down from the carriage, she immediately saw a young man waiting for them.
"Oh, hello! My name is Bacchus. From today onwards, I am your master," the young man said with a smile.
"So... so young!"
Far had guessed that her master would be an older man, but it turned out he was only a few years older than them.
Ai seemed to have a good first impression of him. Relieved that he wasn't a lecherous old man, she patted her developing chest adorably and said happily:
"Wow, he seems like an easy-going and gentle owner."
"Don't be careless, don't forget that all men are wolves," Luna cautioned.
"If things get bad, just run away. Don't worry, I'll use my martial arts to deal with the dangerous unicorn rabbit and escape!"
Far didn't take Luna's words to heart at all, believing that she could easily escape from the nobles with her own strength.
Little did they know, danger was creeping closer.
Bacchus, watching the three whispering, smiled gently and said:
"Um, you all seem quite wary of me. In that case, let me show you around the Imperial Capital and I'll buy you some clothes while I'm at it."
Is it really possible?
The three of them were immediately overjoyed.
"To be honest, now that you're my servants, you can't dress too plainly, right? So I'm giving you my budget. Go buy the clothes you like, and treat it as training for your work!"
"Okay, okay."
Ai felt that happiness had come too quickly; this person was just as gentle as the master she had hoped for!
Judging from the owner's attire, he must be a very distinguished nobleman.
The three women followed Bacchus with delight, looking at everything in the Imperial Capital with the curiosity of children, secretly marveling at its grandeur and prosperity.
Looking back on the backward village where I was born, the only word to describe it is "appalling".
The group, like country bumpkins entering the city, arrived at the most bustling commercial street in the Imperial Capital! With the gold coins given to them by Bacchus, they were able to buy themselves several beautiful outfits—something they could hardly have imagined!
They played from around 2 PM until 6 PM, and the three little girls, carrying large and small bags, followed Bacchus to a restaurant for dinner.
"It's so delicious!" the blonde Far, Far, exclaimed and began to eat voraciously, showing absolutely no manners befitting a girl.
"Far, eat slowly, Master is watching," Luna said.
"It's okay, your happiness is the most important thing." Bacchus lay down on the sofa and smiled at the three women.
They felt so happy after the day; it was the first time they had been able to buy new clothes freely, and they even had a meal at such a luxurious restaurant!
And the owner even booked the entire place just for them!
The owner is so kind, even kinder than her parents. The pink-clad little Ai, Ai'er, felt a surge of emotion.
It's so wonderful to be lucky enough to serve in the Imperial Capital!
A dozen minutes later, the three women had eaten all the food on the table.
"Master, thank you so much for your hospitality." Ai smiled sweetly.
"Burp, I haven't eaten this much in ages." Far patted her belly and stuck out her tongue cutely.
"Hehe, are you full? Let's start the main course then."
Although Bacchus was smiling, a chilling aura emanated from him.
He clapped his hands, and immediately a dozen bodyguards dressed in black appeared around him.
Three men grabbed their arms tightly, instantly immobilizing them.
"Hahaha, Bacchus, you've brought back some good stuff!" Three people appeared behind Bacchus at the same time.
At the very front, a seemingly refined middle-aged man arrived, leading a dangerous, canine-like creature!
"Hehe, which one did you pick?"
"That pink-haired girl is quite pretty; my beloved son Doki- chan, really likes her."
The son the middle-aged man was referring to was the dangerous breed he had brought over; it was currently panting and sticking out its tongue, clearly in heat.
The sight made my Ai tremble all over.
"I think that blue-haired girl has really nice eyes; I bet she'd look really cute with them," said the nobleman who resembled a Celestial Dragon.
"Bastard, let us go!"
Far felt a chill run through her body; she realized she had made a mistake.
That's not gentleness, that's a cunning, hungry wolf!
She jumped up and kicked the bodyguard behind her with all her might!
But as a nobleman's guard, Far's fighting skills were negligible and couldn't harm him in the slightest.
The guard in black laughed mockingly and punched her in the stomach.
Far's eyes widened, and she slowly fell to the ground.
"Was this girl chosen by Mr. Suka? She looks quite wild and needs some discipline," Bacchus said, shaking his head.
"Yes, yes, it's more interesting to crush this kind of girl bit by bit."
The speaker was a bald man who looked at Far, whose legs had been grabbed, with great interest.
Those jade-like legs were so slender that it seemed as if the strong man acting as her bodyguard would break them with the slightest force.
These men were among the most monstrous of the nobles, because Minister Honest could not wield absolute power. As supporters of their faction, they not only had to guard against assassinations at Night Raid, but also against the damned Secret Police's reconnaissance!
This meant they had been holding back from abusing girls for a long time, and today they finally couldn't resist and brought in a few.
Bacchus understood Mr. Suka's intention perfectly and said with a smile, "Understood. In that case, let's break her legs first."
Upon hearing the man's words, Far's eyes widened as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She felt her legs, held tightly by the bodyguard, slowly bending in the opposite direction of her joints...

"In that case, let's break her legs first."
"Aaaaaaaah!!!"
The guards and bodyguards who were holding Far tightly slowly tightened their grip, bending her legs little by little, as if she were being tortured. Far let out a painful scream.
"Oh, what a beautiful voice!"
The nobles showed no pity whatsoever; their eyes revealed boundless greed and pleasure.
To them, these girls were the best toys.
There's no game more interesting than slowly eroding and crushing their dignity and lives!
Indeed, screams like these are the most beautiful sounds in the world!!!
"Fa- Far- chan..."
Watching their companions being tortured, Ai and Luna's eyes revealed boundless despair and terror, instantly plummeting from a blissful paradise to hell.
They never expected that the master who bought them in the Imperial Capital would treat them with inhuman cruelty.
"Hey guys, what are you playing that looks like you're having so much fun? Can I join you?"
Just then, an untimely, mocking voice rang out in the vast restaurant, interrupting their enjoyment.
"Wha... who are you?!"
The dozen or so bodyguards in the hall sensed the danger and immediately surrounded Bacchus and his group.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a man sitting on a sofa not far away...
No, judging by his appearance, it would be more accurate to call him a teenager, around seventeen or eighteen years old, with short, black hair reaching his ears. Just looking at the gentle smile on his face gives one the illusion of being bathed in a spring breeze.
The prerequisite is being able to ignore the murderous figure standing next to him.
The person was wearing a mask, so their face could not be seen, but judging from the white kimono, which was as thin as a yukata and perfectly accentuated their curvaceous figure, and the long black hair that hung down to their chest, it was undoubtedly a woman.
However, what is most eye-catching is the long sword at her waist. Although it is carried on her back, it is nearly 1.4 meters long!
The slender blade resembles a willow leaf, much like a sacrificial dagger!
"You... you're Yotsuba Mahiro?!"
"Oh wow? I didn't expect anyone to actually recognize me."
Mahiro looked up at the guy who had called out her name; if she remembered correctly, it should be Bacchus.
"Hehe, what an honor! I never expected to run into the Yotsuba Clan here. May I ask what brings you here?"
Bacchus managed a forced smile, trying his best to remain calm.
He was well aware of Yotsuba Mahiro's reputation in the Imperial Capital.
As one of Minister Honest's supporters, and often opposing Yotsuba Mahiro under Minister Honest's leadership, she was naturally very familiar with this man.
But this time, they are right!
"... Minister Yotsuba Clan, I bought these girls with my own money. They haven't violated any imperial laws, so you won't interfere, right?"
"Hehe, they wouldn't be here to watch us play, would they?"
The fat, big-eared nobleman revealed his ugly face; he was planning to gouge out Luna's eyes and play with them!
"Yes, you guessed it, I came here to play with you guys."
Mahiro smiled and nodded, and before they could show any surprise, he said softly:
"Let's do it."
The woman didn't speak, but slowly walked out from behind him, unleashing an even stronger and more chilling killing intent as she suddenly charged towards the group.
"Quick! Protect the adults!!!"
Seeing the woman's ghostly movements, the bodyguards didn't care about anything else. They threw the three-colored loli aside and sacrificed themselves to shield the nobles, forming a wall of flesh!
