"Retainers?"
Akame tilted her head.
When Rosen came here, she was checking on her younger sister Kurome's body.
Although Akame wasn't very familiar with Rosen, she was still very grateful to him.
Previously, the two sisters could only face each other with blades, but now that the Little Emperor had been overthrown, military pawns like Kurome also became allies, which allowed Kurome and Akame to reunite.
Once their stances aligned, there were naturally no other grudges.
"Oh, oh, I heard all about it from boss. Esdeath caused such a huge light phenomenon before, was it because of you?"
Leone curiously leaned in.
"Then, Rosen, do you think I'm suitable?"
Leone came from a poor background since childhood.
In that environment, only by being clever could she survive stably until now.
It could be said without exaggeration that the changes in the Empire were all related to this man.
Now that this man personally came to choose his dependants, what reason did she have not to agree?
"Have you thought it through? After becoming my dependant, you won't be able to resist me in any matter."
After Rosen said this with a smile, the Night Raid girls all froze for a moment.
Leone's expression was a bit hesitant, while Akame nodded very decisively after thinking for a few seconds.
"Yes, I will become your dependant."
"However, do you have a way to cure my sister, Kurome?"
Due to years of taking special medicine, her body's functions were damaged. After a doctor examined her, he said Kurome only had a few years left to live.
"Yes."
Rosen said, looking into Akame's eyes.
The girl was very smart; she didn't use the premise of needing her sister cured to agree to his request. Instead, she agreed first and then made the condition...
The sequence of the two matters would reveal a completely different attitude from the person involved.
Although Akame seemed emotionless, she was actually very perceptive.
Therefore, Rosen did not disappoint Akame and gave a positive answer.
"I'm joining too!"
Leone also figured it out.
With the idea of clinging to a powerful figure to the very end, she decided to go all the way.
As for obeying Rosen completely...
Leone didn't think it was a problem after careful consideration.
After all, being by Rosen's side made her feel very comfortable.
One must know that having the Imperial Arm "Lionelle" also gave her animalistic instincts.
In the past, whenever she got close to those noble officials, she would feel uncomfortable all over, but when she was with Rosen, she didn't have that feeling.
She might not trust Rosen, but she trusted her own intuition.
Moreover, even a woman like Esdeath had become his dependant, so she had nothing to hesitate about.
Upon seeing her two companions choose to join, Sheele also stopped thinking too much.
Mine originally wanted to act tsundere, but seeing that three of her companions, besides herself, had chosen to "surrender," she opened her mouth and simply acquiesced.
However, Rosen was rather curious.
"If you don't act tsundere, I'm a bit unaccustomed."
"???"
Mine's eyes widened.
What kind of person is this!
"Alright, since even Akame and Leone have agreed, then Labock and I..."
The curly-haired muscular man, Bulat, also stepped forward and nodded.
But before he could finish speaking, Rosen directly refused.
"I'm sorry, I don't accept male dependants for now."
One sentence directly shut him down.
Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't accept male dependants; Rosen simply didn't want to.
With plenty of choices, he didn't need to give the slots to men.
Even delicate beautiful girls could be brought home for eye candy.
Seeing this, Leone burst out laughing.
Her future master was truly interesting.
However... if all the dependants were girls, wouldn't he have some ulterior motives?
"Alright, you two out."
Rosen chased away the tearful Bulat and Labock, then looked at Akame.
"Lift up your clothes."
Upon hearing this.
Even with Akame's personality, she couldn't help but blush.
Although she was indeed very grateful to Rosen, wasn't doing this a bit too fast?
"It's just a necessary condition for the contract, and it's just lifting your top to expose your stomach and lower abdomen."
"Okay."
Akame nodded, relieved in her heart.
After all, her companions and sister were still watching nearby.
If no one was around, she might have agreed.
But thankfully, it wasn't that kind of thing.
Akame lifted her top, revealing her fair, perfectly flat lower abdomen.
Leone also happily exposed her stomach, and at the same time, unbuckled her belt, revealing her lower abdomen. However, it might have been exposed a bit too much, or perhaps her hormones were particularly active, as a few golden hairs playfully met the air.
Good heavens.
Her hair was golden, but even there?
However, Rosen didn't continue to let his imagination run wild. After taking out the Holy Spear, he successively pierced their lower abdomens, bestowing them with grace.
Changes such as enhanced physical fitness and improved health surprised them greatly.
The most direct feeling was that they could now easily instantly kill their pre-contract selves.
This was an even greater change than what Imperial Arms brought.
After all, after obtaining an Imperial Arm, one still needed to train to unleash its power.
But after the contract, the power was directly obtained.
