There are things in life that you'll never get.

I learned that the hard way. I tried every possible solution, I spared no effort to get what I wanted, and I kept doing my best until the end.

Yet, nothing changed. I'm still the old me.

At this point, I'll have to admit it. I'm not going to get any taller. Goddamnit.

Remember the girl 4 years ago who said 'I'm going to get taller than Liana'? Yeah, that one is super dead right now, I'm 17, almost 18, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to grow taller anymore. My height has stayed at 168cm for a while now. And that girl Liana reached 178cm already, unbelievable. Not to mention Emy, her legs are taller than me. 186 is not a number that I like right now.

But if think I about it like I traded my height for giant boobies, it'll be fine, it's just that this is the way god 3D printed me, I'm totally fine.

Anyway, the point is, it has been 4 years since I've made the D.E. Now I'm sitting here in my room... Making a gun. Again.

I've used my last 4 years making guns and training combat and assassination techs continuously. My dad and the royal guards have been teaching me, and it's not every day that I get a lesson from an Archmage and the best soldiers of our country, so I tried my best to follow them. I did improve a lot, Dad said that I might as well call myself an Archmage at this point, so I guess I did pretty well.

Even now, I still have the best control over Earth magic and telekinesis, followed by other elements that are roughly at the same level. I also know some other magic as well, but they're not as important.

Over the 4 years, I made my friends and family each a Glock and an MP7, Those were harder than I thought, but they gave me a lot of experience in making guns.

Right now, I'm making a sniper rifle. I've always wanted to make one. And it would serve my purpose in the future as well.

As for what purpose... We will have to go back to when we beat that illusion dragon.

''Do you guys have any interest in, say... Becoming diplomats?''

''For what?''

''To negotiate something with the Empire.''

''...That sounds exceptionally risky, Your Majesty.'' Emy says, Liana nods as well.

''Of course, it's just the pretense. We have real motives behind that.''

''I feel like I know what you're talking about.'' I speak up.

''Well, for starters, you guys are going there under the excuse of gaining magical knowledge to contribute to the major war with the demons, and as diplomats to negotiate small trades with the imperial family as well.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

That's why you guys will be attending the Aragon Academy for a period of time.

But now's the real part. Do you remember your nanny, Sylvia?''

''Yeah? What about her?''

''I sent her and a few more people to investigate the situation in the Empire 10 years ago. Around that time, there were many missing cases of traveling elves, they vanished in the territory of the Empire. And I got a report from Isabella 2 years ago.''

''After a long time going undercover, the team found out that a number of nobles, including some powerful ones in the Empire kidnapped our people and used them as slaves.'' At this part, all of us frown.

The Empire legally does not allow slaves, but there are always some dumb motherfuckers that do it regardless, risking the relationship between countries.

''After that, we unanimously decided to rescue our people from those hells. To take revenge for our people, as well as to prevent further victims from appearing, we assassinated the worse ones as well.''

''So far, they've managed to dispose of several nobles and criminals alike, but we don't have enough manpower there to finish the powerful ones. That's where you guys come in.''

''In a few years, I can send you guys, alongside the squad in our Royal Guard that specialized in assassination to the capital, and you all will help with the rescuing and... Killing, as well.''

''But of course, this will be entirely your choice, I personally want you all to experience the human world beforehand so that when the time comes, you'll not be taken by surprise. If any of you don't want to go, that's fine as well.''

''''...''''

''I'll do it, why not.'' I say, breaking the silence. I can't stand slavery, this one is against my own people as well, I'll do it, even if it means I have to kill.

''I want to go as well.''

''Me too.''

It seems like those two are also thinking the same.

''I'm glad to hear that.'' Dad smiles.

''Ah, and also, as a side mission, try to learn more about the power struggle in the imperial family as well, we could use something to our advantage.''

***

Well, basically Dad wants us to become hitwomen, it's not the best job to have, but we decided to do it anyway.

So from that day, alongside normal training, I trained in stealth techniques and such as well.

I've also made several Dragunov SVDs for the squad, they were really happy with them, I myself also had fun with the gun, I love sniper rifles.

But I wanted a rifle that has more power, and what could have more power than a .50 caliber BMG sniper rifle, am I right?

I was torn between the Barrett and the PMG Hecate II, but ultimately I decided to make the Hecate first because I love bolt action, I'll make the Barrett later.

And...

clack

There we go, I have assembled the gun, nice. I'm so excited to try this one out...!

Just look at this beautiful gun, giant muzzle brake, barrel longer than a baguette, and a perfectly shaped stock, combined with satisfying bolt action, wonderful design, really.

Now then, I'll have to test this and the special bullet later, afternoon, maybe. I'll go wake up my friends first.

So I walk to my bed and start waking my two friends up, we had a pajama party yesterday.

''Hey, stop sleeping, will ya? Yo-''

''!!!''

W-what are those?!

I can see two tall tents, covered by the blanket, emerging from their crotches. Are those the legendary morning woods?!

''Mhmm~ yawm...'' Emy sits up and stretches out lazily, her eyes still cloudy.

She then wraps her hands around me, diving straight into my mostly bare chest. I hadn't bothered to change the negligee out earlier. ''Sylvia...'' She keeps nuzzling my breasts.

''Right right, let's wake up and have breakfast together, huh?'' I tap her head a few times, this is too cute, damnit.

''Mhmm...'' She hesitantly lets go and walks to the bathroom.

I then move on to tap the next inhabitant. ''You too, wake up already, your sleeping posture is revolting, you know?''

Liana slowly opens her eyes, frowning.

''...Tch, hateful breasts.''

''Wha-'' She catches both of my breasts with her hands and starts to knead them roughly.

''Hey!! You idiot!''

pack

She slapped my boobs again!!

''Just go wash up already!''
