Resistance Army base.
Leader's office.
"Not bad, you've really got something going here."
Looking at the surrounding environment, Alex nodded.
"There's no helping it. For the people of this world, the power of magic is unimaginable."
Najenda smiled slightly: "Just the simplest Human Repelling Barrier is enough to make this place an invisible base."
"As for the other equipment, we just need to find Lihua and the others and use Teleportation Magic to move it."
"Mm."
Alex nodded: "By the way, who exactly wants to see me?"
"Rakshata Chawla."
Najenda introduced: "From what I understand, she is an authority on mecha research in this world."
"She is an invaluable talent for advancing the research on mecha-based Teigu."
Most importantly, she is a great beauty.
She knew that her master had always been dedicated to developing Dependents.
As a qualified Dependent, she naturally had to solve problems for her master.
Perhaps the other party even possessed the aptitude to become a Dependent.
Otherwise...
Even if she were a scientific talent, it would be absolutely impossible for her to meet Alex.
Knock knock!
At this moment, the office door was knocked.
Creak—
The office door was pulled open.
"Najenda, I've brought her here."
Kallen walked into the office and stepped aside.
A dark-skinned beauty entered Alex's view.
Her gorgeous long golden hair draped over her shoulders like sunlight.
Her delicate and flawless face was as smooth as a freshly peeled egg.
She had a tall figure, and her simple research uniform could not hide her perfect physique.
Her red shirt was left open at the front, leaving room for her proud, ample bosom.
Her fit waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, without a trace of fat.
A pair of tight blue jeans outlined the perfect curves of her thighs.
Her mature aura gave people an indescribable sense of allure.
Among all the Dependents, perhaps only Vermouth and Itsuki Shima could compare to this temperament.
"And, she actually has the aptitude to be a Dependent."
Alex looked at the glowing [Demon Contract], his eyes flickering slightly.
He hadn't expected the other party to be so self-respecting.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I am Rakshata Chawla."
Rakshata came before Alex and bowed slightly.
"Just call me Alex."
"It is an honor to meet you, Lord Alex."
Rakshata looked at Alex with some surprise, completely not expecting the other party to be so young.
Judging by the research equipment in this base,
She had thought the leader of the Resistance Army would be some bigwig from the Federation.
But now it seemed,
That was not the case at all.
Rakshata carefully sized up Alex.
Hmm... no impression at all.
Could he be the heir of some great noble?
However,
He was really handsome.
And what was this noble air that symbolized an ancient heritage?
Compared to him,
The nobles in her memory would probably all become bumpkins.
"Miss Rakshata, state your purpose."
"Purpose?"
Rakshata was stunned.
"Wasn't it you who wanted to see me?"
Alex was a bit dumbfounded.
This woman, she didn't come to the Resistance Army without even thinking things through, did she?
Was she really not afraid of being sold out?
Rakshata also came back to her senses.
It was a bit awkward...
She subconsciously rubbed her fingers.
Originally,
Because she doubted the strength of the Resistance Army,
She wanted to meet the leader. If the other party was ambitious and talented, she wouldn't mind cooperating.
But now,
Her thoughts were purely superfluous.
But if she didn't say something,
Wouldn't they think she was playing games with them?
Moreover,
There were indeed some things that made her quite curious.
In a split second, Rakshata asked: "Is the Federation standing behind you?"
If she wanted to work for them, she at least had to figure out who the boss was.
"What makes you have such a misconception?"
"Isn't it?"
Rakshata smiled: "Whether it's the research staff or the mechanical facilities here, most of them come from the Federation, right?"
She was very confident in her judgment.
Besides the Federation,
Who else could have such a large operation right under Britannia's nose?
"Your eye for detail is quite good; everything you said is correct."
Alex nodded, looking casual.
This reaction...
Something was off.
Rakshata looked at Alex in surprise: "Even so, are you still going to deny all of this?"
"Of course, because your statement has a huge misunderstanding."
Alex tapped on the table and said indifferently: "It is not the Federation standing behind me."
"But rather, I am standing behind the Federation?"
"What do you mean?"
Rakshata was a bit confused.
How could this sentence be so hard to understand?
Standing behind the Federation?
Could this person's background be even bigger than the Federation?
How was that possible?
In this world,
Besides Britannia, which almost ruled a third of the world,
The Federation was absolutely the most powerful country.
No faction dared to speak such big words.
"It just means exactly what it says."
Alex said easily: "The Federal Emperor is my person. Do you understand now?"
"Huh?"
Rakshata's eyes widened, then she laughed: "Lord Alex, please don't make such jokes."
"However, the fact that you dare to say such things is enough to prove that your relationship with the Emperor is extraordinary."
"Please, I must join this place and work for you."
Rakshata straightened her body and bowed deeply.
Hmm...
It seems Lord Alex is the Emperor's man.
Forget it!
These things are not important.
What she is interested in are those mecha.
"Working for me is certainly fine."
Alex smiled and said: "But before that, you need to agree to one condition."
"No matter what the condition is, it's completely fine."
"Alright, become my Dependent."
"???"
Rakshata blinked in confusion.
Dependents or something?
That is a term I have never heard of before.
"As expected, Rakshata has the potential to become part of Master's harem."
Najenda rested her chin in her hand, wearing an auntie-like smile.
"It really is like that."
Kallen took a careful look at Rakshata, her gaze somewhat complex.
Her Master was great in every way.
It was just that playboy streak.
It was still a bit hard to get used to.
"Wh-wh-wh-wh-wh-what?"
Rakshata's eyes widened, her beautiful gaze filled with disbelief.
What was going on?
She was just looking for a job, and she had already gotten herself roped into this?
A harem or something?
Wasn't this development a bit too ridiculous?
"No need for that kind of reaction."
Najenda said with a smile: "Being able to become Master's Dependent is a tremendous opportunity for you."
"Heh... heh heh."
Rakshata twitched her mouth, took a breath, and then managed to say: "You have said so much."
"Can you explain to me what exactly a Dependent is?"
"And about the harem, please do not say things that make people suspicious."
"A so-called Dependent is someone who serves me, and both their soul and body belong to me."
Alex explained: "Correspondingly, you will be reincarnated as a demon."
"You will gain unimaginable longevity, eternal youth, and supernatural power..."
"Uh..."
Rakshata was completely stunned.
She, who had always believed in science.
Was actually having someone discuss demons with her...
