57. Messenger of Justice

The news of Sora and Esdeath suppressing the rebellion of the southwestern ethnic minorities quickly spread throughout the Empire. They defeated an enemy army of 300,000 with only 60 guard girls. This incredible record instantly elevated their prestige to the extreme.

Previously, some people may have had objections to the two becoming generals of the Empire, but now there was only infinite awe for the strong. In addition to the Empire's strongest General Budo, the other two strongest names were well-deserved.

Of course, although the outside world was buzzing with excitement, Sora was not in the mood to care. He had no interest in the false names of being the strongest. Many royal nobles came to visit, but they were all turned away by the guard girls.

The General's mansion did not associate with anyone, nor was anyone allowed to enter, especially males!

Although many people were extremely dissatisfied with Sora and Esdeath's arrogant attitude, they could only endure it in the end when they thought of their current status and incredible power. In the current Empire, in addition to the powerful Minister who could not be offended, these two demon generals could not be either!

Although others may have been somewhat dissatisfied with the General's mansion, the Minister was very happy.

Whether Sora and Esdeath were greedy, cruel, or arrogant, as long as they did not pose a threat to his power, they were his best partners.

Obviously, so far, the General's mansion and the Minister were still getting along very happily. One civil and one military, almost the entire Empire was under their control.

After returning from the conquest, Sora returned to his usual decadent life, training the girls at home, and grabbing a few to do some loving exercises when he was in the mood. Life was so comfortable.

Of course, he, Sora, was not someone who didn't strive for progress. Now that Kije had been trained almost enough, he was about to begin his new hunting plan.

Akame and Kurome were still being cultivated by the Empire as assassination tools, so there was no rush. He would just go and pick up the ready-made ones when they graduated.

The muddled Sheele was still working in a tavern, seemingly unable to do anything right, either breaking plates or spilling food on customers. Her assassin's soul had not yet awakened, so there was no rush for the time being.

Leone was still fooling around in Slum, freeloading. Before she obtained the The King Of Beasts Transformation [Lionelle] and could transform into a cat-eared girl, he would let her continue to mess around!

So, in the end, Sora determined his next target: the dog girl with a distorted belief in the original work, Seryu Ubiquitous!

To be honest, Sora liked to collect some unique beauties: Esdeath's cruelty, Mine's tsundere attitude, Najenda's righteousness. Whether good or evil, any woman who gained his approval would be his prey!

After having his guard girls collect all the information about Seryu, Sora was surprised to encounter a very interesting thing!

One idea after another kept popping up in his mind, and another evil plan was brewing in his heart…

…

Imperial Capital, Police Team.

Although it was already corrupt, as a direct agency for maintaining the rule of law in the Imperial Capital, the quality requirements of the Imperial Capital Police Team were extremely high, and the members had to do a lot of training and practice every day.

"Drink! Drink! Ha! Ha!"

One powerful shout after another came from the training ground. From the sound, it could be heard that the members of the Police Team were almost all a group of big men, but there seemed to be a clear girl's voice mixed in.

As an organization to maintain law and order and fight against "evil forces", the members were naturally a group of strong men, so the girl's voice mixed in seemed a bit strange.

"Vice Captain, Seryu Ubiquitous, mission complete!"

A tall and slender figure, a cute face, orange eyes, and long hair of the same orange color tied into a ponytail – this is a girl who exudes sunshine at first glance!

"Heh, is that so? As expected of someone recognized by a Teigu!"

Looking at the girl before him, the man known as the vice-captain stroked his chin and said with a sneer. However, the seemingly complimentary words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Yes, besides sarcasm, there was also a deep sense of jealousy.

"Thank you for the praise, Vice-Captain. Seryu will definitely work harder to become an emissary of justice!"

Having a happy family and never having lost anyone important, the current Seryu is not yet the twisted girl from the original story. On the contrary, she is exceptionally pure and does not understand the hidden meaning in the man's tone. She thought he was sincerely praising her and immediately replied with a happy expression.

"Heh… an emissary of justice, huh?"

With a soft laugh, the man felt a burst of irony and disdain in his heart as he looked at the girl's passionate appearance.

"Well then, go do all the training again!"

With a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, the man spoke.

"Ah?.."

Hearing the man's words, Seryu seemed a little disbelieving. She had only joined the police a short time ago, and as a naturally weak woman, it was already difficult enough to complete the training that strong men could complete. Why was she being asked to do it all again?

"What's wrong? Unwilling?"

Revealing a prickly smile, the man called the vice-captain continued:

"As the only Teigu user in the team, do you think you can just complete the ordinary training? Aren't you going to become some kind of emissary of justice? Are you going to back down at this little difficulty!"

"Moreover, the captain is away on a mission, so I'm in charge here now. Are you going to disobey my orders as the vice-captain?"

The man's voice was loud, and his tone was extremely strong.

A trace of tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and the girl felt extremely wronged in her heart, wondering what she had done wrong and why the seniors in the team were always so fierce towards her.

Although she wanted to refute, under the man's fierce aura, the girl ultimately did not resist.

"Yes, Vice-Captain!"

Giving a salute, the girl kept telling herself in her heart that this was a trial for justice.

"Let's go, Koro."

Pulling her dog-type biological Teigu, Magical Beast Transformation [Hekatonkheires], Seryu walked towards the training ground again.

"Hehehe, Vice-Captain, you're really harsh on Seryu!"

"Yeah, yeah, such a cute little girl, we're too late to feel sorry for her!"

"Tch, isn't she just a lucky little brat? She actually wants to surpass us!"

…

After Seryu left, a large group of police members surrounded him, looking at the girl's lonely back, their faces full of schadenfreude.

"Hehe, this time it's not me making things difficult for her, but the captain's orders!"

A strange light flashed in his face, and the vice-captain's tone had a hint of conspiracy.

"Captain? Isn't the captain out on a mission?"

"Hehe, Vice-Captain, are you hiding something from us? We're all brothers, tell us about it!"

"Yeah, yeah, Vice-Captain, tell us! Tell us!"

…

Hearing a hint of unusualness in the man's tone, a group of bored guys immediately urged him with great interest.

"Well, it's… Hmph! This matter is confidential, no one can inquire about it, get lost!"

Opening his mouth to say it, but seeming to remember something, the man's face suddenly changed, and he shouted at the surrounding police with a serious expression.

Although a little disappointed, seeing that the man would not say, a group of people had no choice but to disperse, grumbling unhappily.

"Hmph, want to become an emissary of justice? We will definitely grant your wish!"

Looking at Seryu practicing on the training ground, the vice-captain pulled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes…
