Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

Looking up from the Golden House, Nadezhda waved her hand, motioning Tatsumi to come over and sit down.

"Close the door."

The study door is closed.

Tatsumi sat opposite Nadezhda, and the two sat facing each other.

Nadezhda took out a cigarette and tried to light it.

"Smoking is bad for your health."

Nadezhda paused as she lit her cigarette.

"I'm still a child, and secondhand smoke can affect my development."

"..."

Nadezhda silently took back the cigarette.

"what can I do."

State the topic right from the start and get straight to the point.

"Esdeath has returned from the northern border."

Tatsumi said.

At this point in time, Nadezhda probably doesn't know that Esdeath has returned.

really.

When Nadezhda heard that Esdeath had returned to the imperial capital, her pupils shook violently and she subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette to calm herself down.

However, when she saw Tatsumi in front of her, she hesitated and suppressed her desire to smoke.

"Esdeath's return to the imperial capital is very disadvantageous to Night Raid... She is very strong."

Nadezhda's voice was low, even mixed with a barely perceptible hint of fear that was engraved deep in her heart.

She would never forget the days when she and Esdeath fought together against the northern rebels.

one move.

Just used one trick.

It took away tens of thousands of lives!

If we have to use words to describe Esdeath's cruelty and bloodlust, then the words "disregarding human life" and "killing people like flies" may seem a little pale and powerless.

Esdeath seemed like a demon walking out of the abyss of hell, exuding a suffocating breath of death.

Nadezhda would never forget the look she saw in Esdeath's eyes that day.

Indifferent and indifferent.

They have no respect for life and regard others as lowly as ants, who can be trampled and killed at will.

In her eyes, killing was nothing more than a form of entertainment, and those who fell in a pool of blood became tools for her to satisfy her perverted desires.

Even Nadezhda herself felt a headache having to be an enemy of such a terrifying guy.

"Tatsumi, do you have any idea how to deal with her?"

Nadezhda placed her hopes on Tatsumi.

"Cough cough..."

Caught off guard, Tatsumi coughed a few times, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Boss, what do you think?"

Your strength is not even in the same dimension, how can you deal with Kun Mao!

"Sorry, I was overthinking..."

"Tatsumi, what did you dream about this time?"

Back to topic.

Tatsumi thought for a moment: "After Esdeath returned, the first thing he did was to eliminate the enemy government. He sent his men to assassinate the honest officials who were unwilling to be in cahoots with the ministers, and put the blame on the night raid to lure the snake out of its hole."

"Boss, what I need you to do is to give me a list of all the honest officials with their photos, so that I can prevent this murder from happening."

In the original novel, an official did die, but he couldn't remember his specific name. It might also be that the author was too lazy to give him a name at the time and just passed it over.

This made his reconnaissance range much more difficult.

But no matter what, extras are also characters. Since they have appeared, as long as we take action to change their fate of being killed, we might be able to gain some experience.

And with Nadezhda's help, the entire revolutionary army's huge intelligence system can be mobilized.

Cricket investigates a person, dares to be alone.

It’s good to have the identity of a prophet.

At least in those matters that are beneficial to the revolutionary army, Nadezhda will unconditionally and fully help her.

"okay, I get it."

"I'll sort out the information for you tomorrow at the latest."

Nadezhda nodded to show that she understood.

"Boss, I won't disturb you from reading then."

Having achieved his goal, Tatsumi didn't plan to stay any longer and stood up to leave.

Nadezhda looked at the other person's back as he left, wondering what he was thinking.

After Tatsumi left, she slowly took out a cigarette and lit it.

Puffing out smoke, the air is filled with haze.

The pair of white eyes that were faintly visible in the smoke looked quite deep.

"Tatsumi..."

Through the last incident between Main and Hill, she has confirmed the reliability of Grandpa Tatsumi's prophecy in the dream.

This young man is really good, he really does what he does.

Main said that if Tatsumi had not appeared in time, she and Hill would have died.

As the leader of the night attack, he naturally did not want to see casualties in the organization he had worked so hard to build.

Nadezhda thinks highly of Tatsumi.

The other party has already proved himself through actions.

His awareness and ability are impeccable.

At such a young age, the boy's mind is able to have such ideological awareness and the ability to predict the future.

It is truly a blessing for Night Raid to be able to recruit Tatsumi!

To be honest, Nadezhda felt a little guilty towards Tatsumi.

With this ability, why would you worry about not being able to achieve success in the imperial capital?

Maybe you will be appreciated by the ministers and become a popular figure around them.

But Tatsumi, with his firm principles, endured humiliation and joined the night raid.

He gave up his wealthy life and resolutely devoted himself to the arduous revolutionary cause.

Especially what the Red Eyes report said:

'Eliminate harm for the people, establish words for the people, establish a heart for heaven and earth, open the way for the world, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity.'

It even shocked Nadezhda for a hundred years!

What a high level of ideological awareness!

Even the Revolutionary Army is far less ideologically conscious than Tatsumi.

This is why she felt assured and chose to fully support Tatsumi without any conditions.

The revolutionary army is not entirely as good as it seems.

Those high-ranking officials were essentially aiming to overthrow the empire and seize power.

Serving the people is just a cover.

The goal is to gain power.

Otherwise, why would those ethnic minorities spend so much energy to oppose the imperial capital?

Only fools would do things that have no benefits.

But Nadezhda had no choice.

There are very few companions like her who are determined enough to give up their extravagant lives and devote themselves to the reform ambitions.

It is impossible to defend the huge state machine of the imperial capital alone.

He was forced to join the rebels, hoping to use their power to reform the imperial capital.

As for how the rebel leaders will govern the empire after the revolution succeeds, it is unknown.

But the appearance of Tatsumi made Nadezhda have different ideas.

......

"Red pupil?"

Shortly after leaving the study, Tatsumi ran into Akame in the corridor.

At this time, Akagi was standing on the left and right, holding three-color meatballs skewered on bamboo sticks.

Tatsumi greeted Akame, curious about what the other person was doing.

"It's Hill's favorite dessert. I'll send it to her."

Akame explained softly, her eyes like warm sunshine, shining on Tatsumi, and gratitude flowed in her words.

"Tatsumi, thank you so much for saving them! If you hadn't come to my rescue in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart. Anyone who sees a companion in danger will choose to stand up, and I am no exception."

Tatsumi waved his hand with a smile on his face, his tone calm and sincere, as if this was just a very ordinary thing.

"Tatsumi, do you know?" Akame turned her head and looked into the distance, a trace of loneliness and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"We have special identities. After we die, there will be no record of us in the Revolutionary Army. We will just be gradually forgotten..."

"But this is our fate and there is no escaping it."

Tatsumi walked up to Akame, patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Even if you are forgotten by the world, I will remember you deeply."

"Yes, me too!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, the other one is for Mayin, right? Do you want me to deliver it to you?"

Tatsumi asked, pointing at one of the three-color balls.

"Okay." Akame handed the plate of three-colored meatballs to Tatsumi, "Do you know where Mine's room is? Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, I know..."

Tatsumi couldn't help but think of what happened last time.

Myne is pink from the inside out.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly and closed the door, otherwise he would have been hit by a laser.
