Chapter 33: The bad influence on teenagers is immeasurable!

"Come, little Chelsea, fill it up for me again."

Swirling his red wine glass, Jia Ji leaned comfortably on the lounge chair on the rooftop, ordering his newly acquired little maid around to his heart's content.

"Ah! Okay—coming right away."

The orange-haired, headphone-wearing beautiful girl, clutching a vintage red wine bottle, hurried over from beside Esdeath, who was also lying there lazily.

Although he used the word "little" in his speech, Chelsea was actually a tiny bit older than both him and Esdeath.

The assassin who was killed by the Jaegers under Esdeath in the original work had actually run into the Queen of Ice before she had even debuted. One had to lament her luck... in the opposite direction.

So, why was she, who was originally an assassin for the Revolutionary Army, here now?

It was that assassination trainee thing; she was in a similar situation to Jia Ji, still in training.

She was originally just an ordinary person working at the local governor's office, but she accidentally discovered the Teigu "Transformation Manifestation: Gaea Foundation" in a treasure warehouse and became its user, summoned by its power.

After mastering its operation, Chelsea used its ability to kill the governor, from then on resolving to correct the twisted world with her own hands, and later joined the Night Raid assassin organization, learning assassination techniques under Barbara Oberg.

However, her own hand-to-hand combat strength was almost negligible; even if she exercised her body, she was still a complete physical weakling.

This time, all the other assassins were out, and only Chelsea was left to guard the base. Originally, with her transformation ability, she could have easily escaped even if she were outmatched, but she hadn't expected that the person who arrived this time would see through the person inside the cute kitten exterior at a single glance.

After that, Esdeath showed her the destructive power of a wall-shattering punch, and Chelsea, who didn't even have a small knife on her, naturally raised her hands in surrender.

She wasn't afraid of death... well, she was a little bit afraid, but she was even more afraid of dying in vain, without knowing anything and without achieving anything.

She didn't want to be killed just like that without even knowing the names, identities, origins, purposes, or whether these two intruders were friends or foes!

"Don't worry, we aren't good people," Jia Ji said bluntly to comfort her, if that could even be called comfort.

"Ahaha..."

The girl smiled reluctantly, while frantically complaining in her heart, perhaps even stabbing a voodoo doll, but on the surface, she absolutely dared not do anything.

As an assassination organization, Night Raid naturally had no shortage of poisons, but Chelsea wasn't confident she could poison them without being noticed under the two's attention, and even if she succeeded, she wasn't sure she could take down these two human-shaped Danger Beasts.

But if she failed, the fate awaiting her would definitely be ten, or even nine times more miserable than now.

"Teacher Barbara said: Assassins, endure! Anyway, let's try to get some information first!"

Her face immediately changed to a lively, cheerful, and cute smile, and the girl energetically poured a glass of red wine for the fierce-looking boy (questionable).

"Well done. From now on, I'll promote you to Esdeath's personal head maid."

"Why is it my head maid? Could it be that she will be working under me in the future?"

Esdeath, who couldn't find an opponent, also gradually calmed her resentment. Anyway, Merad had only gone out on a mission, and as long as they waited here like waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree, they would eventually be able to squat on someone.

"Ha, quite the opposite." Jia Ji put his hands behind his head as a pillow and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down. "The future you two are enemies."

"Just based on her?"

Esdeath didn't quite believe it. She could have taken ten of someone like Chelsea at once when she was eight years old; how could she be qualified to oppose her?

"Of course not just her, there's also a large group of people in Night Raid... Akame, Leone, Lubbock, Mine, Tats..."

Just as Jia Ji was halfway through his list of names, both of them sensed something, and a sudden change occurred.

Roar—!!

A huge roar suddenly came from the horizon, and a small black dot began to enlarge at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's the Swamp King. Its heart is very chewy and very delicious." Esdeath stood up faster than Jia Ji could tell. She looked at the approaching ferocious Danger Beast, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on her face.

"Oh my, I thought they were all extinct. To think there are still remnants..."

Your next line is—This couldn't be better!

"This couldn't be better!"

Sometimes Jia Ji had to admire his own foresight.

Roar-r-r-r...

The thing in front of them was huge, exceeding the size of a house, its mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs, with a single tooth the size of an adult. It had a lion's mane and a tiger's mouth, four feet treading on the ground, a tail dragging behind, and massive bat-like wings that could support this terrifying body to fly in the blue sky, leaving everything empty wherever it passed.

Just looking at its momentum, one knew it was the supreme among Danger Beasts!

Probably above Level 1, but below Special-Class.

"Wait!"

Jia Ji said vigilantly. He wasn't afraid of this beast, just found it quite rare and strange.

The Swamp King's aura fluctuated, whipping up gusts of wind, yet it could no longer approach them by even half a step, actively stopping several feet in front of the three.

"... It seems it's just someone's mount."

Sitting above the Swamp King was a woman wearing loose ninja clothing that was wide open at the thighs and chest.

The woman's skin was snow-white and lustrous, with a beauty mark under her eye, wearing her black hair in a hime-cut. Her features carried a natural charm, her figure was graceful, her waist slender, like a scorpion, and her deep, pitch-black eyes looked toward Esdeath first, revealing a bit of confusion.

This person was naturally the leader of Night Raid, Merad Oberg, but her extremely revealing attire had an immeasurable bad influence on teenagers!

"Oh my, oh my, let me see who has come?"

The woman, who had a dangerous feeling like a poppy flower, leaped down from the back of the Swamp King, completely ignoring Jia Ji on the side, and went straight to Esdeath, affectionately extending an index finger, wanting to hook the girl's pretty face.

"I didn't expect that after so long, you would actually take the initiative to come to my door... It seems we two are truly fated—"

Slap!

A crisp sound interrupted her lingering love words and also cleanly slapped her right cheek.

"You dare hit me...?"

Holding her swollen cheek, Merad exclaimed in disbelief.

Chelsea hurriedly pretended not to know her. Seeing her own perverted leader's embarrassing situation after being hit was indeed very funny, but to prevent being targeted later, she could only endure it.

But Jia Ji, who was watching as an audience member of a soap opera, had no such concerns. Not only did he applaud repeatedly, but he also laughed out loud.

"Haha!"

Endure, but how could one endure such a funny thing?!
