"Jun, there is something I want you to handle."
"yes, as your slave who is now a professional running errand, Jun hereby accept every word you would say, master."
"Good, Now then, where should I start..."
When I heard my master, I knew she was serious this time and had no time to play along with my tease.
"do you remember the three you saved in that mission? The one you failed because of a red hair woman?"
"Yes."
"Good, because I want you to handle them, you four will be separated in our 'business' I want you guys to form a name in society or the underworld, how you will do it is up to you four, and help us when it's needed, don't worry Cynthia teach them well, and you will be the one who will lead them."
"And I have no right to refuse right master?"
"Yup, your team is separated from my guild, in short, your group is an independent people, make a name, make it stronger."
I couldn't understand a thing, I tilt my head and look at my master who is wearing a serious expression.
"I don't understand the reason for this but master isn't this too much for a small adorable girl like me to handle? "
"I know, but you can do it, I know it. "
"that is too much of an expectation that you place on me, master. "
Master smiles at me with gentleness, I found it weird and felt that there was something wrong, however, before I could even utter a question, the sound of the door can be heard.
I turn back and saw Cynthia Onee san with the three cuties whom I saved intentionally or not.
"Nice timing Cynthia, ehem, Jun I bet you don't know their name despite you saved them, the black hair girl is called Nin, the silver-haired one is Min, and the boy is called Clark, and you three as you know her, this is Jun, Jun Pearl, your boss or captain? Anyway, I bet Cynthia already told you what I talked to Jun, you four go find a place where you guys will talk. "
"Master, I don't want to be part of a harem. "
"the hell you talking about? "
Master said with irritation and puzzlement, I look at the boy again who was a few years older than me, he avoided my gaze as his head turn to the right with a sweat dropped on his cheek.
I don't want to be part of this man.
Look at those two cat girls sharing his shoulder like it was some kind of huggable pillow, it would be fine if it was a huge teddy bear but no! It was a boy!
"hmph, don't you dare touch me, thank you very much, now then, since I am your 'boss' please come, follow me. "
I bowed down at my master and to my Onee san as well, I look at the three for a few seconds and left the room and them following me.
Despite how I act, I will execute what my master gave to me, I still don't understand why she is doing this, There must be a reason, but I guess that question in my mind can be answered at the right time.
As I thought so, I look at the three again and was glad that they are not walking slowly.
However, I couldn't help but be irked.
Hmph, what's with those big plump?
How come they're big at their age?
I couldn't help but look down and patted at my certain part.
(this just made me angry, what's with those jiggling thing that keeps boing~ while they walk? That boy is pretty much enjoying it does he? )
It's fine, they are now 14, and I am 10, I still have time for growth.
Hmph!
I will grow big, bigger than these two kitties!
While feeling a bit of jealousy over those two, I continue walking.
Where am I going anyway?
I have no idea, I just act this way to look cool at my newfound slaves.
I am a senior slave and they are the junior.
Fufu.

*Glynda's POV*
Great, they are gone.
Sigh...
"Cynthia, status. "
"Hai, currently the big event is still on stand by, the government is still on watch on the said new type of voids."
"The scouts? "
"out of 30 scouts, 27 died, and two survives however both are in critical condition, and was believed that they will die at any moment the last one is currently missing but will be announced dead once a week has passed. "
"... There was no information that can be used then... Wouldn't that mean, this will be a suicide mission? "
This is the more reason why I will push out Jun in my guild then...
"The government ordered us all of the top guilds to go to J- Island, however, the infiltration on the said Island will happen 2 years from now..., "
As Cynthia said this, she lowered her brows and a frown face could be seen on her.
"two years... Why that long... "
"... I'm afraid that the government wanted to 'know' what the void is. "
"heh, so they used us as a disposable tool? "
"Should we decline? "
"If we can, however, that will depend if the other top guild also refused... "
"which would be a surprise if they will. "
"right, for them... This could be a chance... "
"Sadly, yes... "
Cynthia smiled bitterly and I couldn't help but laugh painfully.
"We are cornered... However, that doesn't mean we don't have a chance, although, risky, I hope this will work................ "

*Jun POV*
"What is this... Place? "
Uttered a cute voice behind my back.
"a place that will be our basement from now on. "
We are currently at the deepest part of a mountain, this abandoned house is hidden in society and was left abandoned.
What surprises me, these three didn't even look exhausted,...
As expected of Onee san, she teach them well.
"With just a little cleanup and a few reconstructions, this place will be good as a hiding spot."
(well, the void can be found roaming here wondering in the middle of nowhere, but those things are only low-leveled so, it is not a problem. )
"Now then, I will introduce myself again, My name is Jun Pearl, the most trusted and lovable, adorable slave of my master, Glynda Octavia, as well as my young miss Charlotte Blair Octavia's Personal se- I mean maid. "
As I said so, I pinch my hem sideway using my fingers and pulled back my other foot and place it at the back of the other, then slightly bowed at them.
"u-um, My name is Nin, and this is Min, we both are twins! "
"n-nice to meet you... "
"e~to, My name is Clark... Clark Cromwell"
I look at them after introducing ourselves.
Cat ears, black hair, silver hair, both of them have cat eyes, they look cute and also look fragile, however, I can definitely tell that they are not what they seem to be, this could be used, their charm and innocent vibes can fool the target.
They also have a seductive body so, so they will probably be a beauty in the future, let's add their cat ears, they look so adorable.
Hm.
As I thought, I am jealous of them.
Because I can tell my growth rate is a nightmare.
Then this boy.
He is slim, his muscle is firm, a lean body and attractive eyes, black hair, and lashes that was long and sharp.
He is tall too, he is perfect for husbando material.
"how old are you guys? "
"16"
"14"
"14!"
"I see, I am now your boss and oh, I"m 10 years old. "
I wiped my eyes as if there were a tear in them.
So what if they are older than me?
I pumped my chest as if there was a plump melon on it, while both my arms are on my waist.
"c-cute... "
"Hm? What did you say? "
The silver-haired girl called Nin murmured something and I failed to hear.
"Anyway, tell me what you are good at. Nin Onee-... Ehem, Ms. Nin, you first. "
"k-kuh...! W-wait... Huu... Un! "
She heave a sigh and look at me seriously as if she were going to answer her interview.
"I know how to use the water Element and I have a skill that is connected to my Water Magic, I have a Unique skill that can erase my presence, and also Blink that can teleport me in a short distance! "
She paused for a moment and continue.
"I am professionalized in using Knives, preferably throwable knives, and... And umm... "
"I have a question, does your Unique skill that can erase your presence can get past enemies without seeing you right in front of them? "
"um... No? I have to hide and must not get exposed, they can still see me,, however, my presence will be erased... So like um, for example, if I were suddenly standing right in front of them, they will be shocked because they couldn't feel me? They can see me but they can't feel my presence? Un... Like that? Also, My Preparable Profession is Assassin. "
(Why do you look so unsure about that? Well, if that was the case then, it was like a lower version of my Angel Cloak. )
"how about you? "
"Uh! My Profession is Scout! I prepare to use my fist and feet as a weapon! Uh... I have a skill called dodge where I can dodge an attack that I cannot dodge! But I can only use it twice and it will be a cooldown for one minute. S-sadly, I don't have any elemental magic... "
As she said this, her ears went down as well as her tail which was wiggling a moment before.
Then, she suddenly looks at me with a star in her eyes full of enthusiasm and a look of 'Please don't abandon me! '
"b-but I am quick and I also have an incredible strength! I can lift a boulder with ease! A-also, um... I can punch and kick! ... I don't have a unique skill... Yet... "
"Are you good at infiltration? "
"yes? Yes! I'm good at beating someone! "
(that's not what I say! )
I shake my head and look at the boy.
Knowing he was next he began to open his mouth.
"Well, I'm good at long-range attacks, my prepared weapon is guns and rifles, I am also good at infiltration, gathering information using a device, my profession is hacker, I also know about magic but I still have not yet mastered wind element, My Unique skill is invisible hands, I can form one to four invisible hand for 10 minutes and control them with ease. "
"hmm... Impressive, one is good in infiltration with socially awkward communication skills, one is a blockhead, and the other one is an intelligent boy who seems to have some low self-esteem. "
The three looked at me with different expressions, the silver-haired girl's sweat dropped, the black-haired girl tilts her head ignorantly, and the boy who smiled, and his left brow twitched.
"now then, what business should we do? Well, let's think of an Idea, till tomorrow so let's think about your codenames"
"codenames? "
"yes, you can't just say your real name to your enemies, right? Well, you can also be silent and not introduce yourself but it is still better to have codenames in case of someone ask who you are. "
I said then closes my eyes, a few seconds later, I open them and look at the three.
"I will also hear it tomorrow together with our group names that will be used in the underworld, now then, let's start cleaning! "
""" What? """
They said at the same time but I have no time to answer that, I throw a broom, dustpan, and anything cleaning materials that will be used.
They got surprised by how magically they appeared but I was just carrying this all the time.
Use g illusion magic, this thing that I was hilding turn invisible to their naked eyes.
As I thought, my illusion magic is convenient and different from other illusions.
