Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

"I knew it would be like this..."

Nadezhda held her forehead helplessly.

That's why she was originally called Tatsumi instead of Esdeath.

Because she knew that with Esdeath's personality, she would most likely start with a combination of punches and BT torture.

Facing Will, who may be an ally in the future, Nadezhda still hopes to recruit him using gentle means rather than violence.

"Are you satisfied?"

Esdeath walked outside and walked in with Will, who looked hopeless, in one hand.

Will wanted to say loudly: "I don't accept it!"

But feeling the severe pain in his abdomen and the power of Esdeath, he finally succumbed to the captain's power.

"Clothes......"

"Okay, the problem is solved perfectly."

Esdeath cut the ropes that bound Will with a sword and turned to look at Tatsumi.

What the eyes want to express is: "How am I handling it?"

Tatsumi nodded in response.

It was handled so well. Didn’t you see that Will was almost crying with emotion?

"Captain, can you tell me the reason?"

Will got up from the ground and shook his body, which was a little stiff from being tied up for a long time. He was eager to know why Esdeath helped Night Raid.

"Will, what was your identity before you joined the Hunters?"

"Imperial Navy."

Will answered without hesitation.

"What is a soldier's duty?"

"obey orders!"

"Do you need a reason now?"

"need."

"Ok?"

Esdeath raised her eyebrows.

"unnecessary......"

Will answered from the bottom of his heart once again.

"Let me tell you."

Seeing that Esdeath had no intention of explaining, Nadezhda took the initiative to step forward.

After all, Will is now in the same boat.

What needs to be explained still needs to be explained.

......

After listening to Nadezhda's explanation, Will looked incredulous.

"how is this possible?"

"How is that impossible? When you were a navy officer, you spent a lot of time at sea. You must be very familiar with the situation in the imperial capital."

Nadezhda asked back, and Will remained silent. He had indeed heard his comrades discuss a lot about the upper echelons of the imperial capital before, but at that time he treated it all as a joke and didn't take it seriously.

"Captain, are these things true?"

Will still didn't quite trust Nadezhda, so he asked Esdeath.

"Ah."

Esdeath nodded calmly.

"Then why do you still help the evil?"

Will was so emotional that he didn't know where he got the courage from, but he questioned Esdeath.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

......

Don't think too much about the result.

Will was lying on the bed again, looking miserable with a bruised face and nose.

"Any question."

Esdeath asked.

"Meiwenti."

Will's face was swollen and he struggled to make unclear sounds.

Everyone who saw this scene fell silent.

What a violent way to solve the problem.

But the effect seems surprisingly good?

Even Will, who refused to surrender, was defeated.

Leone really liked the way Esdeath solved the problem.

Direct enough, violent enough.

I just feel a little strange.

Isn’t Esdeath’s imperial weapon able to control ice? How come her physical fitness is so horrible?

For some reason, Leone's intuition vaguely told her that Esdeath was stronger than the last time they met.

"This is impossible... He was already so strong before, if he continues to get stronger, it will be disastrous."

Leone subconsciously thought it was an illusion.

But the beast intuition brought by the Lion King has always been accurate, helping her avoid countless crises.

"Little lion, are you looking at me?"

Esdeath noticed Leone's long gaze and turned her head with a teasing look in her eyes.

The little lion's hair stood up, as if he had met his natural enemy. His former heroism was gone, leaving only timidity.

"No."

Leone looked away and said guiltily.

"You, and you, come with me."

Esdeath had no intention of letting Leone go, and she also called Maine who was watching the show on the side.

Myne:?

I didn't say anything, what does it have to do with me!

Maine looked at Nadezhda subconsciously.

Boss, save me!

"Well, it's a nice day today."

Nadezhda turned her head away from the window.

He looked as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"What do you want with them?"

At the critical moment, Tatsumi was still reliable, and Mine was so moved that she almost cried.

"Nothing, just talk to your two little lovers." Esdeath leaned close to Tatsumi's ear and whispered, making Tatsumi nervous.

Both anxious and relieved.

Many times, some things can be seen from small details, such as a look or a movement.

Everyone in the night raid had already seen the relationship between him, Maine, and Leone, but he had never said it out loud. He knew it but didn't say it out loud. In addition, being in a killer organization was dangerous, so there was naturally no need to talk about such trivial matters as love.

With Esdeath's keen observation skills, it was only a matter of time before she discovered it.

There is a problem if you don’t find it.

So these days, Tatsumi has been accompanying Esdeath and rarely goes back for a stroll.

He was afraid that Esdeath would get jealous, so he cut them into pieces in a rage.

"Don't be nervous. I will do what I promised you. I just want to talk to them."

Esdeath patted Tatsumi's shoulder and comforted her with understanding.

After saying that, Esdeath walked upstairs with the reluctant Maine and the timid Leone.

"Boss, you don't care?"

After Esdeath left, Chelsea asked first.

She still didn't completely trust Esdeath.

"Don't worry, I know her."

Nadezhda withdrew her gaze from the window, and a deep look appeared in her eyes.

"Given her personality, if she really had bad intentions, she would have exploded on the spot."

Hearing this, Chelsea was speechless.

Nadezhda looked at Tatsumi with a powerful gaze.

Tatsumi, who was teasing Xiaoke, was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the meaning in the other person's eyes.

"Have you finished your confinement?"

Tatsumi frowned, and the scene at that time appeared in his mind.

Although this world does not have ultrasound equipment, it has the power of waves.

Each time the infusion was completed, it was found that the vitality contained in the particles was wiped out by an inexplicable force.

He asked Esdeath, it wasn't her who did it.

I also looked for many other reasons, but in the end I failed.

This phenomenon continued until last night.

This confused Tatsumi.

Whose reason?

Both of them are in good health and have no problems at all. Why would this happen?

Born infertile holy body?

Tatsumi shook his head at Nadezhda, who looked a little disappointed.

Although from the current point of view, Esdeath appears to be willing to help overthrow the Empire.

But human nature is changeable and complex.

Rather than just a verbal agreement, Nadezhda felt that Esdeath, who was in confinement, was more practical and convincing.
