Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"Starting today, she will also be in charge of training the assassination squad, selecting individuals from the military and intelligence systems."

Intelligence is very important.

They began building an intelligence system as soon as they arrived here, and it has now reached a considerable scale.

This is Chelsea's responsibility.

"I see."

She nodded.

Although Kuroko was just a young girl, she naturally supported Nanagi's suggestion.

Ultimately, Qiye was the governor, and these matters originally belonged to Qiye.

Mine seemed to have guessed something.

"Black Eyes?"

"Yes, she's Akame's younger sister."

Qi Ye nodded.

Akame is currently inside the enemy forces and regularly contacts the intelligence personnel under Chelsea's command to provide information.

Chelsea had never met Akame; she only knew that such a person existed.

But let's leave that aside for now.

"Lord Qiye, we have too many things to do and too few people. If this continues, we don't know when we will be ready."

Chelsea spoke first.

The shortage of manpower is a major problem, and there are also limited resources.

Nanaya understood as well.

After all, this isn't the ninja world, nor is it the Land of Snow. Back then, the Land of Snow devoted all its resources to developing its military, producing aircraft carriers, warships, artillery, trains, airplanes, tanks, and so on.

Then they swept through the Ninja Continent.

Now, time is too short; even the number of troops seems insufficient, let alone the weapons and equipment.

Of course, the situation is different here.

First of all, the empire is not an island nation, and Jinrui City is not isolated overseas, so there is no need to develop the navy for the time being.

Secondly, the road conditions here are not very good, and the empire's territory is too vast. If we could pave the way all the way, we wouldn't need to fight any more battles, so trains and the like are not needed for the time being.

Then there are the tanks...

We do need this stuff, but unfortunately we don't have enough fuel. We can't wait that long to explore and mine it now.

So there isn't one for now.

The same applies to airplanes; they are not built, but even if they are built, they cannot be used on a large scale.

Unless the power system is changed and it doesn't rely on fuel.

However, these are all issues related to weapons and equipment; the more important issue now is the human element.

"Um……"

Qi Ye bit her nails and thought for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"Although the exact time is unclear, I'll have Akame keep an eye out and bring back a general. With her influence, she can attract many people to come and join us. Also, Mine, your..."

"It's already been arranged."

"That's good. The comical hero is a legend in the martial arts world and can attract many people to come and join us. More importantly, for the people in various places, the comical hero is far more anticipated and trusted than a general."

After all, one of them was a general of the empire, and was considered to be responsible for upholding the empire's authority.

The other is a "hero" or something similar who rebelled against the tyranny of the empire and killed many of the empire's officials and soldiers.

"However, this means you won't have much time left."

The empire's general, and a comical knight.

Even if it's just spreading the news secretly, the Empire's intelligence agents and assassination squads will quickly take notice. At that point, they'll probably be willing to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free and will take direct action.

"Continue recruiting and training soldiers."

"Yes."

……

night.

After dinner, it was time to take a shower.

Mine is staying here tonight, so naturally she'll take a shower with us.

Ever since the day she met Qiye, after he personally helped her take a bath, they've been together, unless she's not around.

Qi Ye helped her wash.

She would also help Qiye with his washing.

However, today, she went to the bathroom with Febri first, while Nana was trying to fool Kurohime.

"Let's go, Kurohime, let's take a bath together."

"..."

Kurohime was eating a cookie.

At the same time, he glanced sideways at Nana.

"Take a shower? With you?"

"correct."

"Don't go."

Why not go?

Why go?

She's a girl, while Qiye is a boy.

Taking a bath with Qiye?

Do not make jokes.

Although Nanaya saw everything during the physical examination, there was nothing that could be done about it.

However, taking a shower together is not something that necessarily has to be done together.

So I'm not going.

And so the seven nights began again.

"There are actually many benefits to showering together. Just think, it's so comfortable to have someone wash your hair and scrub your back. You can even bring snacks in, so you can eat even while showering."

"..."

That sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

But something still feels off.

Eating together... washing together... eating together... washing together...

"Okay, time for a shower."

Anyway, Seven Nights has already seen it all.

Moreover, she had seen Qi Ye before. When they met that day, Qi Ye had just emerged from the lake completely naked, and she had seen him naked.

So there's no need to worry about it anymore.

More importantly, taking a shower doesn't interfere with eating, how great is that?

……

Najendan.

Of course, this is actually a name that will be used later; for now, she is still called "Najeta," the female general of the empire.

Unlike General Bud, who was known for his military prowess, Najendan relied on her exceptional courage and strategic acumen.

He is a very capable person himself.

Possesses the Imperial Arm Romantic Turret - Pumpkin.

The gun-type Imperial Arms has multiple forms, but it does not fire actual bullets; instead, it converts spiritual energy into "bullets" and fires them.

It can be like a regular bullet, or it can be more powerful.

In Qiye's memory, the most impressive time was when he clashed with General Bude and ultimately killed him.

Moreover, it has a unique characteristic: its power increases or decreases depending on the level of danger the user faces, and under normal circumstances, it is no different from a firearm.

Qiye believes this is related to mental strength.

When faced with danger, the mind is highly tense, and the output of mental energy increases, thus increasing the power.

This can be considered passive.

Therefore, Qiye has reason to believe that if he were to use it, he could adjust the specific power himself, because he can control the output of his mental energy.

Whether this is true or not, we'll only know after actually using it.

Currently, the Romantic Cannon Pumpkin is still in Najenda's hands, and she remains a general in the Empire.

However, her courage and strategy were suppressed by force.

Esdeath, one of his subordinates, quickly rose through the ranks thanks to her unparalleled martial prowess and accumulated military merits.

The military has always revered the strong.

If one can simply push forward by force, there is no need for much strategy or anything like that. Therefore, Esdeath's prestige in the army gradually increased with each battle.

Then, Najendan's position was challenged.

Of course, Najenda didn't care about that. She wasn't the kind of person who craved power, so if Esdeath really came to power, she wouldn't mind stepping down and becoming a deputy.
