Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

......

"Boss, Tatsumi has been captured by Esdeath again."

"Ah."

"Ok?"

"Oh."

"Oh?"

"..."

"No, Tatsumi is our comrade. He was captured by Esdeath. Don't you care at all?"

Ma Yin looked at the calm faces of the people around her in confusion.

I don't understand why they can be so calm now.

"Do you think Tatsumi looks like something's going to happen?"

Leone complained.

"Didn't you see that Esdeath's eyes were almost tearing..."

"That's right." Chelsea nodded with deep feeling.

He has a rich resume, is good at disguise, and is familiar with various micro-expressions.

She was sure and very certain.

The emotion in Esdeath's eyes was definitely not fake.

That's love from the heart!

Maine understood everyone's point, but she was still dissatisfied. She continued, "Esdeath is the leader of the hunters, and we are attacking at night! We are incompatible in terms of our positions. Now that her new base has been discovered, you are not worried at all?!"

"There was no killing intent in her eyes during the fight just now," said Akagi.

Myne: “…”

Ok.

I drew my sword and looked around, feeling confused. The clown turned out to be me?

It seems like she's the only one worrying about this.

"Cough cough..."

"I know everyone is confused about the relationship between Esdeath and Tatsumi. Allow me to briefly explain."

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Nadezhda felt that it was time for her to say something.

The main reason is that what happened today was too unexpected.

She herself hadn't expected that Esdeath would be so bold as to do that with Tatsumi in front of everyone.

Now I can't hide it anymore.

She hasn't figured out how to explain it to everyone.

After all, it sounds like a fantasy that a member of one's own team could capture the top boss of the opposing camp.

......

Everyone was attracted by Nadezhda's words.

Everyone was curious about when Tatsumi started getting involved with Esdeath.

Judging from the boss’s expression, it seems like he already knew about this?

"matter..."

"It all starts with confinement..."

Nadezhda lit a cigarette for herself and spoke slowly.

......

"Nani, Tatsumi is so great!"

After listening to Nadezhda's narration, everyone couldn't help but feel admiration for her.

Especially Leone and Lubbock.

turn out to be...

He had already prepared to meet Esdeath and sacrifice himself for the revolution!

"Anyway, that's what happened."

While bringing up the topic, Nadezhda also mentioned her idea of ​​becoming independent from the Revolutionary Army, forming an alliance with Esdeath, and letting Tatsumi become the emperor.

Everyone expressed no objection.

After all, they have been with Tatsumi for so long and know him well.

Except for Chelsi.

Unlike others.

Chelsea had been working at headquarters, working her way up from the bottom.

Unlike Brand, Akagi and others, who were directly recruited by Nadezhda into the night raid.

She didn't feel such a deep sense of belonging to Night Raid.

So after hearing Nadezhda's plan, he seemed very hesitant.

Chelsea kept her concerns to herself and didn't show them.

......

......

It's approaching evening.

The extremely dangerous species flew back to the new base.

Back.

Esdeath drew out her rapier and stabbed it into the brain of the extremely dangerous creature, stirring it violently several times.

Extremely dangerous species, dead.

Tatsumi was puzzled.

After all, he was the chief contributor to the air shock, how could he be killed like this?

Esdeath explained: "Only the dead can't speak."

"It can only be blamed on hearing too much."

Makes sense.

A three-second silence for the extremely dangerous species.

Chimera, who had been bored in the new base for a long time, saw the food falling from the sky and immediately came over with a smile on his face.

Yo.

Or is it a super dangerous species with good meat quality?

What a blessing.

"Tatsumi, you've taken good care of it."

Noticing the appearance of the Chimera, Esdeath patted its wings with interest and found that they were much fuller than before.

"I will cherish all the gifts you give me."

Tatsumi said a few sweet words at the right moment, his eyes moving back and forth between the dead special dangerous species and Chimera.

I decided that next time I want to play air shock, I must keep Chimera away from me.

Avoid the risk of being silenced.

As expected, Esdeath was hit by sweetness again.

A look of happiness filled his face.

There is nothing more gratifying than being valued by Tatsumi.

"It's so late, does it matter if you don't go back to the emperor?"

He waved his hand and asked the Chimera to take away the corpse of the extremely dangerous species to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other dangerous species.

Tatsumi looked at Esdeath and asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter. Your business is more important."

Esdeath said as she pushed open the door of the base.

The door opens.

The Night Raid members who were eating inside subconsciously looked towards the door, and were surprised when they found it was Esdeath.

Suddenly I felt that the rice in my hand no longer tasted good.

Hei Tong put down his dishes awkwardly and rubbed his hands under the table nervously.

On one side is Onesan, and on the other side is their own captain.

Can I still eat this meal normally?

Esdeath glanced at everyone, her gaze lingered on Hei Tong for a moment, and finally fell on Nadezhda.

Esdeath walked up to Nadezhda who was sitting on the chair and looked down at her.

"I will support Tatsumi's cause."

"but..."

She narrowed her eyes, with an invisible sense of shock in her tone.

"If I find out that you're using Tatsumi, Nadezhda, you know the consequences."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense at this moment.

of course.

Only Esdeath and Nadezhda.

Others didn't feel anything.

This is a conversation between the Hunter Boss and the Night Raid Boss.

They just need to eat melons and watch the show.

"What's going on!" Leone winked at Tatsumi.

"I don't know."

Tatsumi looked innocent.

He initially thought that Esdeath went to the base to find Nadezhda to explain the situation...

Now it seems that a big part of the reason is for himself, fearing that he would be used by Nadezhda?

thin.

Too thin.

Is this what it feels like to be protected? A full sense of security.

......

Facing the tit-for-tat momentum emanating from Esdeath.

Nadezhda only felt Alexander at this moment.

However, as a leader, he still has the basic qualities of being calm and composed.

She calmed herself down, raised her head calmly and looked at Esdeath.

"The plan was proposed by me alone and has nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army."

Esdeath sneered, "My former colleague, you'd better tell the truth."

"Nadetta, put away your little thoughts. Your power is just like an ant in my eyes."

confidence.

Absolute confidence!

But Esdeath has the strength and confidence.

If she wanted, she could have the heads of all the perpetrators of the Night Raid appear on the execution platform tomorrow.

"What a pretense! You don't care?"

Main curled her lips. She really couldn't stand Esdeath's appearance and winked at Tatsumi several times.

"Why don't you care?" Tatsumi gave Main a look in return.

She stared: "Is this something I can control?"

Say the most heartfelt words in the most firm manner.

Tatsumi glanced around and noticed that the atmosphere had become even more tense.

Not only Maine, but also Akame, Leone, Brand... especially Labock, their faces looked so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with tears.

For Night Raid, Nadezhda is the leader and the face of Night Raid.

Esdeath's words were tantamount to rubbing Night Raid's face against the ground.

Directly activate the ranged group attack taunt.

They are all imperial weapon users, with two arms supporting their heads.

Who can bear being insulted like this?

If it weren't for Esdeath's strength, Labbo would have spoken up to support Nadezhda long ago.

Realizing that the situation would not be good if they continued, Tatsumi came to the rescue in time.

He walked over to Esdeath and said softly, "That's about it."

"Humph."

A cold snort.

Under Tatsumi's gentle persuasion.

Esdeath's icy expression quickly melted, revealing a unique tenderness.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Tatsumi with eyes filled with deep tenderness.

"Well, it's up to you."

She held Tatsumi's hand habitually and naturally, with a barely perceptible hint of coquettishness in her voice.

this moment.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even though they all knew that Esdeath had special feelings for Tatsumi.

But this huge contrast is too incredible.

Maine and Leone looked at each other and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Lubbock secretly gave Tatsumi a thumbs up, and didn't even care about the anger he felt when Nadezhda was insulted before. There were only two words left in his mind.

Awesome!

"Tatsumi, you are so lucky!"

The gay guy who has no interest in women expressed deep emotion.

To be honest, Brand was a little envious of Tatsumi.

Military power can bring external peace, while gentleness can bring internal peace.

Apart from some minor flaws and idiosyncrasies, there is really nothing to complain about Esdeath.

......

The atmosphere gradually eased under Tatsumi's mediation.

Although Esdeath's words were still sharp, her attitude had obviously softened a lot.

......

Negotiation is over.

Esdeath didn't show any intention of leaving.

The two sisters with red eyes and black eyes looked at each other, silently picked up the plates and walked to the kitchen.

The pressure is too strong, I can't bear it...

The rest of the people also found reasons to leave the living room.

In the end, only Esdeath, Nadezhda, and Tatsumi were left.

"How about I leave too?"

After hesitating for a moment, Tatsumi asked.

"Why are you leaving?"

Esdeath hugged Tatsumi's arm, and the bottomless abyss turned into a huge mouth, beating wildly.

Nadezhda's eyebrows were also twitching.

Am I being...showed off on the love?

She glanced down imperceptibly.

By contrast.

I feel a little inferior for no reason.

Momentum -1

"Esdeath, what else do you have to do in Night Raid?"

Nadezhda shook off all the distracting thoughts in her mind and got straight to the point.

"Haha, Nadezhda, logically speaking, we are now in an alliance, is this how you treat your allies?"

Esdeath replied without even looking up as she concentrated on massaging Tatsumi.

Nadezhda was speechless.

What the other party said made sense, and she really had no reason to drive Esdeath away.

Row.

You're not leaving, are you?

Let me go!

Nadezhda gave Tatsumi a look.

It means keeping her under control.

After all, Esdeath is a lawless lord.

If Tatsumi hadn't been watching, God knows what she would have done during the night raid.

......

This night.

Live a peaceful life.

Leone did not go into the woods late at night, and Main did not turn into a steering wheel.

Both women were very quiet tonight.

Just because...

That terrible woman lives here.

They don't even have the courage to fight for it.

In the morning, the sun rises.

Maine and Leone got up early and washed up.

It's not about going to bed early and getting up early, it's about not sleeping at all.

Except for the two of them, everyone in the night raid was like this.

He appeared with big dark circles under his eyes.

There's a scary guy living next to me.

It would be strange if you could sleep soundly.

Only the naive Hill didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and slept soundly.

I sat in the living room early in the morning, studying the book "One Hundred Ways to Cure Naivety", which I have read countless times.

"Hey, Hill."

Tatsumi also got up early and greeted Hill.

"Good morning, Tatsumi."

Hill greeted politely.

"Why are you still reading this book?"

Seeing that Hill was still studying the book on curing idiots, Tatsumi couldn't help but ask.

Judging from our recent interactions, Hill is getting better than before.

"It's a habit. I can't help but watch it when I have nothing to do."

"Oh, so you are free?"

"Would you like to practice with me for a while?"

No words were spoken last night.

The stronghold has poor sound insulation and is surrounded by many people.

Even with Esdeath's carefree personality, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

So I didn't do anything last night.

Have a long-lost peaceful sleep.

Esdeath was still sleeping, apparently because she had stayed up late the past few days and her biological clock had not turned back on.

"Okay, Tatsumi."

Hill happily agreed.

She also missed the days of morning exercises with Tatsumi.

......

The new base does not have a dedicated training ground.

So the two of them walked to a flat ground not far away to fight.

With the attitude of wholeheartedly focusing on gaining experience, Tatsumi attacks with all his strength.

Hill couldn't hold on and was defeated within three moves.

"Tatsumi, you are amazing. You have improved a lot compared to before."

Hill said sincerely.

Thinking back to the past until now, Tatsumi's strength has been increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.

But she remained the same, as if she hadn't moved at all, and the gap between her and Tatsumi was getting bigger and bigger.

Thinking of this, Hill felt a little lost.

"Tatsumi, do you think I'm too stupid?"

Although he also practiced every day, his only outstanding talent as a killer was suppressed by Tatsumi, which made Hill feel more and more useless.

"Not stupid."

"I'm cheating."

Tatsumi spoke in comfort.

I should have added some water earlier...

"Cheating? What is that?"

Hill asked curiously.

"Well... you can understand that I used unfair means to win you."

"Oh~ So that's it."

"Tazmi."

"what happened?"

"I want to cheat too!"

"..."
