Anime, infinite dimension starting from Mahou no Yakumo

Others might not know, but Bill, as the minister, knew it all too well.

Are the eight members of the elite group strong now?

That is beyond doubt; its strength during the palace turmoil is proof enough.

Despite their strength, no one can control the elite group anymore; everyone only obeys Yotsuba Mahiro's orders.

So Bill is now truly regretting it.

Why didn't Dr. Fashion inject those kids with addictive drugs back then? Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten out of my control.

"It's a pity, there's no going back in this world, don't you think, Deputy Secretary Bill?"

"What exactly is your purpose?" Bill asked in a deep voice.

At first, he thought that Yotsuba Mahiro had no desire for power, but now it seems that's not the case.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have made such an outrageous request to the young emperor, demanding that he have control of two departments!

Even if it is not allowed in principle.

But he had already been persuaded by his principles!

Moreover, it is said that the security force has long been integrated by Yotsuba Mahiro, and no one dares to resist this boy.

"Purpose? I have no purpose. I just don't want anyone to shit or piss on my head, including that fat pig Ernest. That's all."

Rights? He genuinely doesn't care about that.

Otherwise, he could have simply killed that fat pig Ernest and taken his place.

All he's doing now is enjoying himself, enjoying the extraordinary life this other world brings.

However, his words shocked Bill, who broke out in a cold sweat. He never expected that this seemingly young boy would not even be taken seriously by the ministers!

"Oh, by the way, I hope Deputy Secretary Bill will keep today's conversation confidential."

"Do you think that's possible? I'm an official from Minister Ernest's faction, after all," the bald Deputy Minister Bill scoffed.

"That's okay."

Zhenxun chuckled, a rather amused smile on his face. "Even if you walk out of this door and go straight to report to that fat pig Ernest, it doesn't matter. It will just bring forward an inevitable massacre. Do you think I'd care?"

"Hmph, I hope you don't play with fire. I won't tell anyone about today's conversation. I want to see how you're going to fight against Minister Ernest, the most powerful man in the capital, and General Bud, the strongest general!"

After saying that, Bill turned and left without lingering.

Looking at his retreating figure, Makoto couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Why should I fight them?

Although Bill appeared calm and collected on the surface, even daring to be cold and indifferent to him, he could actually tell that Bill was panicking terribly inside.

They were afraid he would suddenly attack and kill them, then destroy the evidence.

Just like what happened in the inner palace.

Given Yotsuba Mahiro's current power and her close relationship with the young emperor, she will not be punished in any way.

Simply put, Bill will have died in vain.

But he didn't want to die, so he planned to watch from the sidelines and not get involved in their fight. To be precise, Bill had already lost the right to participate.

After Bill left, Shinji summoned Seryu and the other captains.

First, he praised Seryu's recent performance and achievements in capturing criminals, and then promoted her to the position of captain.

As for the others, he offered them a pie in the sky.

Because the position of deputy minister has become vacant, his implication is that anyone can climb to that position in the next few years as long as they perform well.

However, the effect was somewhat mediocre, since all the captains had witnessed the close relationship between Seryu and him.

Many people already believe that the position of vice minister is definitely intended for Seryu.

However, no one showed any dissatisfaction; on the contrary, they seemed to approve of him as minister.

According to normal custom, the bulk of the money collected from merchants should first be given as tribute to the minister and deputy minister. Originally, there was only one minister, so the sudden appointment of a deputy minister meant that their income would be reduced.

That's why he was so dissatisfied with Mahiro.

However, they later discovered that Vice Minister Yotsuba Mahiro had no interest in money whatsoever, which meant that their allocated shares remained unchanged.

Now, Yotsuba Mahiro has been promoted to the position of minister, and the position of vice minister is vacant. Seryu, like Yotsuba Mahiro, is not interested in money or bribes.

Doesn't that mean they'll get a larger share?

The thought that even if he didn't get promoted to the position of vice minister, no one would express any dissatisfaction would come to mind.

Rather than saying they are happy to accept this reality.

Afterwards, Makoto said a few official words to motivate the people, reassigned tasks, and then left the office.

Moreover, it was already the next day when they went to the assassination department.

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

Inside the assassination department's office, the eight members of the elite team had gathered there early in the morning, waiting.

First, they congratulated him on his promotion to minister in a formal manner, then stood there obediently, waiting for him to give orders.

It seems that the lesson learned that night at the palace not long ago was quite effective.

Even on the day he met with Minister Ernest, Bonney unusually refrained from saying anything out of line.

Actually, Bonnie wanted to speak at the time, but Cornelia, Akame, and the others stopped her in time.

After all, he was a high-ranking official; if he said the wrong thing, he could lose his head!

"Alright, don't be so formal, sit wherever you like."

Seeing them lined up neatly, Zhenxun gave the order to disperse.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances before relaxing.

Especially that idiot Bonnie, who just plopped down on the ground right there and then, not caring whether it was dirty or not.

Nahashu was still the same as always, finding a corner to sit down and taking out a book he always carried with him to read, while Green sat next to him.

Akame and Kurome casually found a chair and sat down.

As for Cornelia, Tsukushi, and Gin, they stared longingly at the sofa next to him, wanting to sit there but not daring to.

"Alright, stop looking. Didn't I just say? Sit anywhere."

"Great!"

Tsukushi and Kogin cheered and ran to his side, each hugging one of his arms, then leaning their bodies against him and clamping his arms between their chests.

He sat there with a look of great joy on his face.

Cornelia, who was a step too slow, had no choice but to settle for a seat one body length away.

"Ugh! You're all so despicable! I want some too!"

Bonnie yelled as he got up from the ground, then plopped down on his lap, shifting his body to find a comfortable spot—a spot that was just right.

The two sisters, Akame and Kurome, were stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and then they bit their nails in resentment.

Tsk, it got stolen!

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Mahiro picked up Bonnie from his arms and put her aside, squeezing next to Gin.

Although both of them were quite reluctant, they immediately suppressed their emotions and listened attentively when they heard that they were about to get down to business.

"First of all, congratulations to the eight of you for successfully graduating from the assassin training program. From today onwards, you can remove your weights and no longer need to wear them."

Mahiro spoke earnestly, and they listened attentively.

He cheered with joy, especially when he heard that he no longer needed to wear the weights.

That's right, they were always wearing weights.

Whether it was during previous assessments or the chaos within the palace, he always wore it because he had not received orders from Makoto.

Therefore, they always wear them, even when sleeping or training, and only take them off briefly when showering.

Now, they are finally free.

After taking off their clothes, the group excitedly exclaimed how light their bodies felt. Even Tsukushi, who was not good at running, was as fast as the wind.

"Alright, don't get too excited, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Upon hearing his words, the group immediately fell silent.

"Hmm, very good. Next, we're going to carry out an assassination mission..."

Upon hearing about the assassination mission, the group became alert and eager to get started, as this was precisely the purpose of their training.

However, this task came rather suddenly; the story begins yesterday—

"General Brand, there haven't been any problems at the border recently, have there?"

Inside the luxurious palace, the young emperor, seated on the highest throne, asked the imposing, burly man beside him.

Below him, his ministers stood in two rows, with the powerful Lord Honest at the very front. Even though it was court time, he continued to eat his meat as if nothing was wrong, and no one dared to rebuke him!

"Your Majesty, General Esdeath recently reported a victory: the barbarian tribes on the southwestern border have been suppressed. Although the barbarian tribes in the north experienced a rebellion a few years ago, they are currently under the command of other generals, and there are no current issues!"

Bud replied calmly.

"As expected of General Esdeath. Although I have just ascended the throne, I have heard about her deeds many times. When she returns in triumph, I will reward her handsomely."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I convey General Esdeath's gratitude to Your Majesty."

Although these words were spoken by General Bude, which might seem a bit presumptuous, it was still reasonable for a superior to do so.

But at that moment, a courtier stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence we have gathered, the revolutionary army that intends to overthrow our empire has suddenly moved toward the northwest border, seemingly to cooperate with the foreign tribes in the northwest."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Chief Intelligence Officer Shinomiya is right. Those damned rebels are secretly plotting and gathering intelligence in an attempt to rebel against the Empire! Although it's only a nascent stage, I hope to deal with them as soon as possible."

Ernest tore at the piece of meat in his hand with force, his blunt teeth making his expression look even more ferocious.

"Oh, does Minister Ernest have any solutions?" the young emperor asked curiously.

"Of course, Your Majesty. Since they have intelligence agents, we have them too, and even more advanced assassination squads! Now is the perfect time to use them against the Revolutionary Army. I think it would be perfect to have the deputy minister of the assassination squad lead the team!"

According to the information Bill sent, Ernest knew very well that it was impossible to sideline Yotsuba Mahiro in the assassination department.

He commands the strongest elite squad, and that elite squad will only obey Yotsuba Mahiro's orders.

Therefore, Ernest planned to take a roundabout approach, letting Deputy Minister Bill make achievements and produce some results, while he would then fan the flames from the sidelines.

In this way, Bill will regain the Emperor's favor!

However, plans are often like an untouched virgin, while reality is a multi-tasking creature that will never follow the plan.

"Vice Minister?"

The young emperor tilted his head, puzzled for a moment, then said "Oh," and said, "I remember now, it's that ugly Bill, right? But he's the vice minister, how can he leave his post and lead a team on a mission?"

Besides, he's getting on in years, almost at retirement age, so he definitely can't lead the team out to complete the mission. Let's call Minister Yotsuba up instead.

I still have more faith in Minister Siye's abilities.

"His Majesty!"

Ernest was taken aback and, while feeling furious, he tore at the meat slices as if he were biting into someone's flesh.

After tearing off a piece, chewing and swallowing it, he calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. If Vice Minister Bill cannot leave his post, then how can Minister Yotsuba Mahiro leave?"

"Hehe, it's okay, I trust Minister Yotsuba's abilities, he'll take care of everything!"

The young emperor said nonchalantly.

Completely disregarding Minister Ernest's feelings, he immediately summoned Yotsuba to the palace.

Ernest's face was unusually grim, and he kept gnawing on his food to vent his anger.

When Shinji calmly stood before the ministers, most of them saw him as a thorn in their side. Only General Budo and a few conscientious officials who had not been driven away appreciated his demeanor.

"Minister Yotsuba, if I were to send you out to suppress the rebels in the Northwest, would you be able to interfere with the work of the garrison and the assassination department?"

"Your Highness, there is no problem."
