Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

"Ah...."

For some reason, the man suddenly sneered, threw the letter on the table, and sat up straight, staring at him.

"Tell me, where did this letter of recommendation come from?"

"Naturally, it was given to me by that Earl."

“You’re lying.” The burly man stared at him and said firmly, “That old guy never writes letters of recommendation for anyone.”

Zhenxun smiled slightly: "But I'm different. The Earl wants me to be his son-in-law, and he's even prepared to marry Aria to me."

"Aria? Hahahaha!"

The burly man was taken aback when he heard the name, then burst into deafening laughter. "If you're going to make up a lie, at least make it believable. How old is that child? Betrothed to you?!"

“I know Aria is still young, but that’s how the Earl arranged it. He wants me to come to the Imperial Capital Garrison for training first, and then we’ll get married when Aria comes of age.”

Shinji shrugged and said in a serious tone.

However, since the person is already dead, it's his business no matter what, and there's no way to verify it.

This time, the man didn't speak again, but just stared at Masahiro, seemingly trying to find clues from him.

Throughout, Yotsuba Mahiro maintained a calm expression, and the subtle aristocratic confidence she exuded convinced the man to some extent.

"Okay, let's assume that's how it is."

The man spoke softly, then leaned back again, his general's boots crossed and resting on the edge of the table.

His fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the armrest, seemingly urging him to do something. Seeing his lack of response, he clicked his tongue and then spoke:

"It's easy for you to get a position in our Imperial Capital Garrison. With my authority, I can easily arrange for you to become a deputy minister."

"?"

Masahiro looked slightly surprised. Did this person really have that much power?

"Humph."

Seeing the expression on Mahiro's face, the man was satisfied and continued, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am the head of the Imperial Capital Garrison, directly under General Budo. You should understand, right?"

He certainly understands that.

Although the Imperial Capital Garrison is called a corps, it is actually a powerful department, and like the Imperial Palace Guard and the army, it is directly under the command of General Bude.

Moreover, the minister's position was almost on par with that of the generals under Bude, and he could even have an audience with the emperor.

"So, if you want to get a position in the Imperial Capital Garrison, a letter of recommendation isn't enough; you also need to demonstrate your abilities."

"clear."

Shinjiro naturally understood what this "strength" meant.

If it were a straightforward person like Tatsumi, they would probably draw their sword and fight this guy right now, and then they would be kicked out, or worse, arrested and executed.

But in reality, this "strength" is nothing more than the money given to the person in front of him.

This is nothing to Yotsuba Mahiro; money is the last thing he needs right now.

In fact, you could say that anything that can be solved with money is not a problem at all.

So he waved his hand lightly in front of the minister.

There was a muffled thud!

A box of moderate size landed on the ground in front of him. Mahiro walked over, pried open a corner of the box, and opened it.

Suddenly, golden light shone on the minister's face.

"Here are 100,000 gold coins. Is that enough strength?"

Upon hearing the word "100,000" and seeing the box full of gold coins, a glint of greed flashed in the minister's eyes, but he still sat up straight, averted his gaze, and asked:

"Are you a Teigu user?"

In his memory, only the strange Imperial Arms could pull things out of thin air.

Makoto shook his head and said, "No, this is just a little trick of mine."

"Um...."

The minister paused for a moment, lost in thought.

No wonder that old man chose this kid as his son-in-law; he's got some skills after all.

He became more certain of Makoto's identity in his heart.

but....

"However, a mere 100,000 gold coins won't get you a vice minister position; you'll have to start as a squad leader."

"But my father-in-law told me that's the price."

"Hehe, that was the price before. Prices are different now."

"Is that so? That's a real shame, Minister."

Mahiro casually closed the lid of the box, and then, under the minister's astonished gaze, put it away again.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, as far as I know, could buy a rather luxurious mansion and courtyard in the capital, and even hundreds of high-quality female slaves wouldn't be a problem, but it can't buy a vice minister's position, what a pity..."

"In that case, I'd better go back and discuss it with my father-in-law. I've heard that the Imperial Assassination Squad next door is quite good, and they'll definitely be interested in these 100,000 gold coins."

As he spoke, he turned around and made a move to leave.

"Wait! Wait, young man, don't rush."

The minister was sweating profusely and quickly called out to Makoto.

"What, Minister, are you willing to sell it to me now?"

Zhenxun turned around, still wearing a faint smile, but this time with a hint of barely perceptible mockery.

Although he didn't care much about these gold coins, which amounted to less than a tenth of what was piled up in the mansion's warehouse, it didn't mean he could be easily ripped off.

"No... young man, we can talk things over."

Now, the minister was truly drenched in sweat.

Originally, seeing that he could come up with so much money all at once, I was thinking of ripping him off, but I didn't expect that he wasn't a sucker at all, and that he was the kind of person who would just leave whenever he wanted!

No wonder that old man would take this young man as his son-in-law; his character is just too good.

"How about this, considering my friendship with that old guy, I'll sell you the position of deputy minister. But you'll have to start as a squad leader, then go to the army for a couple of days of training, and when you come back, you'll be the deputy minister. How about that?"

"Of course, no problem, but can we skip the military training?"

"No."

The minister sat back down and shook his head, saying, "This is something everyone entering the security department has to go through, and it's a rule set by General Bud. No one is exempt."

Don't worry, the training isn't difficult; it's just a formality.

"Okay, then it's a deal."

"Okay, go out and fill out the forms in a bit, then come back tomorrow to report for duty. Someone will take you there."

"Then I'll trouble you, Minister. My name is Yotsuba Mahiro. Please take care of me in the future."

After saying that, Zhenxun left the box of gold coins and then turned to leave.

Seeing the door closed again, the minister breathed a sigh of relief, left his seat, went to the box, opened it, and stared intently at the golden treasure inside.

But thinking of how Yotsuba Mahiro had remained calm and composed throughout, even ignoring his own aura, he couldn't help but sigh:

"What a terrifying brat..."

If the other party really joins the assassination squad, he will suffer a huge loss.

That's 100,000 gold coins... I bet that bald guy would love to groom this kid as a trusted confidant!

-------------------------------------

As evening fell, Makoto returned to the mansion.

As soon as I entered, I saw little Mine casually wiping the floor in the back of the hallway.

Why do I say that? Because her little hands only stay in one place.

"Mine, what are you daydreaming about?"

Mahiro walked up to her and waved his hand in front of her big eyes.

"Ah!! Master... Master, you're back."

When Zhen was finally found, Mine's spirits lifted, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Heh, I just went out to run some errands, and you've already polished the floor so brightly. What are you planning to do? Try to expose your panties in front of me?"

Mahiro pointed to the smooth, mirror-like floor tiles, which clearly reflected the pink of Mayn's little bottom beneath her skirt.

Mine looked down and saw it too.

So she quickly pressed down on her skirt, her little face slightly red, and pouted as she said, "Master, please stop teasing Mine! I was just feeling bored."

Besides, if the owner wants to see it, they can just come and lift it up themselves; why make it so complicated?

Good heavens, what kind of outrageous words are these?

Seeing that Mine was still too young to be eaten, he ultimately suppressed his lustful thoughts, then put on a serious face and said:

"Bored? You've already finished the work I gave you?"

"Yes, Mine has figured out the layout of the mansion and has even made a list of all the supplies. Would you like to take a look, Master?"

"No need."

Zhenxun waved his hand, somewhat astonished.

This girl is really capable... She managed to get everything in order in just one day. Does she have a talent for being a butler in addition to being an assassin?

"Owner?"

Seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, Mine called out softly.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Makoto snapped out of his daze and said, "Starting tomorrow, I expect to be away from home for a few days. During these days, Mine, you will be in charge of managing the mansion and see what we need. As for servants, you can take the initiative to hire them yourself."

"I understand."

Mine nodded her little head and made a note of it.

"But Master, are you really leaving?"

"Well, the arrangements made by the security team are most likely just a formality, and they'll be back soon."

"Okay, Mine will be waiting for you at home..."

Although the girl was somewhat disappointed, she said she could understand.

Chapter 119 The First Meeting with Esdeath (5K)

Night time.

It was the time when everyone was sound asleep, but Yotsuba Mahiro couldn't sleep.

It wasn't for any other reason, but simply because a girl, like a small animal, was lying on his chest.

Mine curled up her soft, small body against his chest, her untied pink twin ponytails spreading out like silk across her back and then falling to her sides.

Its tiny nostrils twitched slightly as it slowly exhaled the breath of sleep.

It really looks like a sleeping kitten.

In a house this big, Mine should have had her own room. That was the plan, after cleaning up Arya's room, to make it Mine's bedroom.

However, this girl came to his place to sleep, claiming that she was afraid to sleep alone.

The result is this scene before us.

Mahiro also felt somewhat helpless.

How could he not understand Mine's behavior? It wasn't about being afraid to sleep alone.

She simply wanted to use this method to coax him, to try her best to stay by his side for the night before their parting, afraid that he would never return and leave her here alone.
