Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

......

......

The play is over and the music ends.

The lights on the stage gradually dimmed and the audience stood up and left one after another.

Tatsumi felt a little unsatisfied.

At this moment, he felt a pair of eyes fixed on him. He turned around and saw Esdeath holding her cheek, staring at him in fascination. Her eyes were deep and focused, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

Tatsumi touched his face and asked jokingly, "Is there a flower on my face?"

Esdeath looked at him, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she answered irrelevantly: "It's really beautiful."

"It's getting late, let's go eat."

After two dry coughs, Tatsumi tried to change the subject, but Esdeath's gaze was too aggressive and he could hardly bear it.

"Hmm? Are you hungry?"

"Aren't you hungry? You haven't had a proper meal all day."

"Appropriately reducing body functions can effectively prevent energy loss..."

"Wait, that's not the point!"

......

The two left the stage hand in hand and walked around to a restaurant that looked pretty good and had relatively few people.

This restaurant looks quite new, probably just opened not long ago.

Moreover, the name of the store is quite interesting.

[Don’t bully the middle-aged and poor]

"Is there something wrong with the name?"

Esdeath keenly noticed that Tatsumi's eyes lingered on the store name for a moment, and followed his gaze.

I didn't see anything worthy of attention.

Tatsumi shook his head. There was nothing wrong with the name, but he thought the owner of this store was a talented person.

The restaurant has more than ten wooden tables, which are neither big nor small.

The two of them sat down by the window, and soon the waiter came up with the menu.

"Sir, please order."

The waitress was a little girl with long sky blue hair like Esdeath.

Tatsumi looked at the little girl and felt that she looked more and more familiar.

Suddenly, he remembered.

Isn’t this the girl from another ethnic group that I met in the alley when I was discussing justice with Sailu?

At that time, the girl was being sexually assaulted by a man and was almost killed, so Tatsumi was deeply impressed.

The girl noticed the strange gaze and looked at him in confusion. After seeing Tatsumi's face clearly, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.

"Benefactor, it's you!"

Esdeath raised an eyebrow: "Do you know each other?"

"We had a chance encounter."

After explaining, Tatsumi asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"It's Sister Saiyu."

After the girl's explanation, Tatsumi also understood the whole story.

It's quite dramatic.

The girl's name is Aikuns. After being rescued by Tatsumi that day, she had the idea of ​​becoming stronger and gaining power to control her own destiny. Later, she accidentally met Sailu who was patrolling the streets of the imperial capital and enforcing justice. Sailu learned of Aikuns's thoughts and introduced Aikuns to her master Oka. It happened that Oka had nothing to do after faking his death. In addition, Aikuns showed an excellent talent for practice, so Aikuns followed Oka to practice swordsmanship.

As for why Ouka appeared in Paradise and opened a restaurant named "Don't Bully the Middle-aged and Poor".

In Aikunsi's words, Ouka is commemorating the past life of the powerful.

Secondly, it was to stay away from the imperial capital, reduce the chances of appearing in public, and prevent the fake death from being exposed.

By the way, there is a little bit of selfish desire, wanting to prosper in Paradise and regain its former glory.

It is worth mentioning that Ouka has done quite well with his excellent swordsmanship. He is also well-known in Paradise, and most evil forces dare not cause trouble in his territory.

After hearing what happened, Tatsumi was surprised.

Since he gained experience, he hasn't paid much attention to Ouka.

After all, Ouka's strength cannot be said to have reached the pinnacle, and he himself is not an imperial weapon user, so he is not of much use.

I didn't expect that Ouka would sneak up to Jile Development alone.

In the beginning, I spared Ouka's life, not only to try to change the plot, but also to change Celia's distorted concept of justice. But I don't know if it was because I was too good at talking, or because of the protagonist's halo, but before I could use Ouka's trump card, Celia was straightened out by me.

It cannot be said that it was completely useless. At least the letter left by Ouka played a great role in the later change of Sailu's attitude.

"You and Selyu knew each other before?"

Esdeath's eyes flickered.

No wonder I always felt that there was something wrong with the way Cell looked at Tatsumi, it turns out they are old acquaintances!

"Don't ask, just snap."

How could Tatsumi not understand what Esdeath was trying to express?

Said immediately.

The main point is honesty, sincerity in exchange for sincerity!

"You..." Esdeath frowned. Even though she was slow, she realized that things were not simple.

There are not enough emperor tools, so it is hard to find? You must be kidding!

She suddenly had a bold guess in her mind and stared straight at Tatsumi.

"Niu...did you instigate this?"

Tatsumi was stunned, looking confused: "Who is Niu?"

"..."

"Okay, okay! Okay..."

Esdeath suddenly laughed and said "OK" three times in a row, with an intriguing look on her face.

"It's really nice today."

Turning his head to look out the window, Tatsumi said in full agreement.

"..."

Esdeath was not angry but happy: "Okay, stop pretending, I don't mean to blame you."

"You were able to take me into account from the very beginning. This ambition and strategy... You are worthy of being the man I like!"

Esdeath patted Tatsumi's shoulder, her eyes full of appreciation and relief.

This is something Tatsumi can't do directly.

I thought we were going to a Shura battlefield, but this is what happened?

But I like it!

Where can you find such a gentle and considerate queen?

Thinking of this, Tatsumi turned around and looked at Esdeath with deep affection:

"The world is full of glitz and glamour, but a tree, no matter how tall it grows, never forgets its roots."

"No matter what the future holds, you will always be the most important person to me!"

Esdeath smiled lightly, like a spring breeze blowing, melting the iceberg into water: "Your words are enough."

On the side, Aikunsi looked at the couple who were deeply in love with envy, and only regretted that she was too young to intervene and become the third party.

"Your name is...Akunsi, right?"

At this time, Esdeath looked at Akuns, her eyes fixed on the other's sky-blue hair, as if thinking about something.

"Yes, my lord."

Aikunsi suppressed the immature thoughts in his mind and replied seriously and respectfully.

Her intuition told her that the woman in front of her was very powerful and scary, and it would be best not to play any tricks in front of her.

"You are a foreigner, right? Which ethnic group are you from?"

Aikunsi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Esdeath suddenly asked this. After thinking for a while, she said:

"My Lord, have you ever heard of the Baruts?"
