"Anusika has a bit of a sharp tongue, but she doesn't have any bad intentions in her heart."
Esmeralda smiled as she looked at Olivia, who had been silent, and explained to Luke, "Olivia speaks very little. Usually, the two sentences she says the most are, 'The general is right,' and 'The general is absolutely right.'"
Esmeralda continued, "No matter where we are, no matter what we look like, and no matter what the general looks like, you will always be the person we four admire the most! No matter where in the world or in what dimension, we will always follow the general's footsteps!"
"Wherever the general goes, we go!" Rosanna turned her head and said.
Anusika raised her little hand and added, "We will follow even if the general dies!"
"You guys... are so thoughtful." Luke didn't know what to say. Touched? Not bad. The only thing he was sure of was that his place would be bustling from now on.
"It seems that this is a permanent summons. After such a long time, the four of them haven't disappeared. From what they said, before they were summoned, they seemed to have been lost in the rift of another dimension, searching for their general. Am I really their general...?"
Luke frowned and thought about it deeply.
A warm little hand suddenly grabbed his cheek. It was Rosanna.
"The general is so cute after becoming small!" Rosanna came up and pinched his face without hesitation, kneading it with excitement.
Anusika wasn't about to be left out. She also came over, pinching Luke's little arms, then his calves, and everywhere else.
She grinned. "The general looks much cuter now than before. He always had a stern face before, like a horse."
"..." Luke was speechless again.
Although he hadn't had much contact with them, he had a pretty good idea of the personalities of the four Black Rose girls.
Anusika had a sharp tongue, and her words were always so... different?
Rosanna seemed to enjoy teasing him... This made Luke wonder what kind of relationship the former general had with them.
Anusika and Rosanna always seemed to be arguing, but it was probably just their way of joking.
Esmeralda was the team leader—the calm, wise, and strategic planner in the group.
As for Olivia, she barely spoke, only nodding in agreement.
"The legendary three-no girl?" Luke thought curiously.
However, no matter their quirks, they all obeyed his orders—the great general in their minds.
The loyalty of these four girls was off the charts. That was definitely something.
"It seems that, except for their smaller bodies, Esmeralda believes their fighting skills are still intact. They are undoubtedly the Black Rose Special Forces... well, a chibi version. The weapons and equipment seem to have been lost on the way here. That doesn't matter. Isn't it easy to get guns and cannons? Of course, we'll have to steal them. When I get my hands on the right blueprints, I can also make some for them."
However, Luke couldn't help but have a headache when he thought about how to accommodate four more girls.
Where should they live?
He was still in his bedroom. His adoptive parents were home, downstairs. He couldn't let them...
As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you.
The four girls had been chattering for a long time, finally attracting the attention of Luke's adoptive mother, Karen, from downstairs.
"Something's happening!" Anusika suddenly said.
"There's someone outside!" Rosanna listened carefully. "The steps are weak, and the strides are small. It's a woman. She's an ordinary person. The alarm is lifted."
"Don't let your guard down," Esmeralda calmly analyzed. "This is a world we don't understand. Before we familiarize ourselves with the environment, all unknown factors are threats. We must ensure the general's safety!"
"Yes!" Anusika and Rosanna replied in unison.
Olivia nodded.
Luke quickly reassured them, "Everyone relax, don't worry. She's one of us."
"One of our own?"
"Honey, are you okay? Why is there so much noise in there?" A voice came from outside the door. The door was locked—Luke made sure to lock it every time he opened the magic box. Otherwise, things could get complicated if he was seen.
Karen's gentle voice came through the door. "Honey, open the door."
Luke sighed helplessly. He got out of bed, walked over, and unlocked the door.
His adoptive mother, Karen, appeared in the doorway, smiling. "Why was it so noisy in the room just now?" She glanced around in confusion.
"Oh, I was watching TV. Maybe the volume was a little loud, so I turned it down. Sorry, Karen." Luke pointed to Ross's TV, which was broadcasting SpongeBob SquarePants.
Karen looked into the room a few more times, then smiled and stroked Luke's head. "Alright, don't stay up too late. Make sure you get some sleep."
"Okay, Karen," Luke replied with a smile.
After Karen left, Luke closed the door again.
Behind the door, Rosanna and Anusika were hiding in a pyramid formation. Rosanna was on top, Anusika at the bottom. Anusika covered her nose. "Rosanna, you should take a bath."
Meanwhile, Olivia, wearing a beret, opened the closet door and stepped out.
Esmeralda crawled out from under Luke's bed. She froze slightly, noticing something on her head. Reaching up, she pulled down a pair of underwear with an elephant design on it. Luke's.
The room's atmosphere suddenly became... strange.
Then, in an instant, the place turned into a lively marketplace again.
"Wow! The general's little underwear! Esme, Esme, you've done a great job!" Anusika face lit up excitedly.
"Mine, mine!" Rosanna lunged forward to grab it.
"Bitch, don't even think about it!" Anusika pounced on her, and the two of them tackled Esmeralda onto the bed, hands all over her.
"No, don't..." Esmeralda laughed so hard she almost choked. "It's so ticklish!"
Olivia just stood there, staring blankly at the chaos.
"Be quiet for a moment!" Luke finally snapped.
The girls immediately stopped and looked at him.
Luke propped his chin up with his hand, looking troubled.
Since he was already on a lucky streak, why not just open the remaining magic boxes? When else would he do it?
What? Underwear? What underwear? Do you see this 42-meter-long sword?
"Everyone, sit down! Keep quiet." Luke ordered the Black Roses to sit in a row on his bed before continuing to draw the magic box.
"What is the general doing?" Rosanna whispered, puzzled.
"I know, I know! The general is drawing a box, and there are various resources in the box! The general used to do this all the time. Although the result is always black!" Anusika raised her small hand and grinned. "Every time the general got black, he'd say: 'This is an accident,' 'It will definitely come out next time!'"
"The general is right," Olivia said—a rare moment of speech from her.
Esmeralda sighed. "So all our money turned into a pile of junk. Ever since the general became obsessed with opening boxes, our treasury has only had three lonely gold coins. I can't even remember the last time we had barbecue. Sigh..."
The other three girls sighed in unison. "Ah..."
