Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

Half an hour later, it was time to depart.

Hill looked at Maine, who was late, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Hey, Myne, why are you wearing sunglasses?"

Marin tilted her head slightly, seeming a little uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and explained with a seemingly natural reason: "Oh, well, the sun is a little strong today, and I'm afraid of sunburning my eyes."

"Oh~ So that's it."

Silly Hill didn't think too much about it. He looked up at the clear blue sky and muttered, "There's no sun today..."

......

Imperial Capital Pier.

Dragon boat.

As a ship exclusively for the nobility, its appearance is extremely luxurious.

The hull is based on deep blue, symbolizing the vast ocean and deep sky. Every part of the hull is cleverly integrated with dragon elements.

On the bow, a majestic dragon head stands tall, with piercing eyes and flowing beard, as if showing its dignity and majesty to the world.

On both sides of the hull, dragon scale-like decorative patterns are stacked one after another, sparkling with dazzling light, highlighting the extraordinary temperament of the dragon boat cruise ship.

at this time.

It was very lively on the dragon boat.

Most of the nobles and upper class people who were invited gathered here.

They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and their behavior revealed an extraordinary temperament.

Inside the cabin, a variety of delicious food and fine wines were placed on the exquisite dining table.

The alluring aroma hits your nostrils.

The nobles sat together with ulterior motives, enjoying the delicious food.

Communicate each other's needs and goals.

The band on the ship also started playing, and the beautiful melody floated in the air, adding a bit of romance and warmth to this grand gathering.

There was only one brown-haired boy whose hands never stopped moving. He was immersed in his own little world, sweeping away the food in the restaurant like a whirlwind.

The brown-haired boy was Tatsumi who came to carry out the mission.

After discussion, he was responsible for the security inside the cabin, while Brand, who was on a wanted warrant, was not convenient to show up in crowded places, so he waited for the signal outside the cabin.

“Although his cooking skills are not as good as mine, his ingredients are fresh and there are many varieties...”

Tatsumi was eating intently.

He didn't notice at all that, not far away, several nobles were staring at him with unfriendly eyes.

"That man eats so rudely, not elegant at all." A noble lady who was dressed gorgeously and had a proud temperament commented contemptuously.

"Yes, and there is no aristocratic temperament at all."

Another young noble man echoed, with disdain in his eyes.

"Have you noticed that he looks like a country bumpkin? Could he be pretending to be a noble to get on the dragon ship?"

A sarcastic voice sounded, resonating with the people around.

"It's not impossible!"

"Who among you will expose him..."

"I'll do it!" A pot-bellied man volunteered.

The fat man was wearing a black tuxedo and had a bulging belly. He was obviously someone who was used to enjoying delicious food.

He had the lowest rank among this group of people, so he was particularly eager to improve his status by currying favor with those in higher positions.

Tatsumi, who was eating, saw an opportunity for him.

An opportunity that would allow him to curry favor with the upper class and get promoted!

He held his head high and walked steadily to Tatsumi, a hypocritical smile on his face.

"Sir, may I ask who you are?" the fat man asked politely, but there was ill intention in his eyes.

When Tatsumi heard the voice, he paused and looked up, somewhat surprised that someone would come to talk to him.

He put down the cutlery in his hand, gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and then slowly stood up.

He glanced at the nobles who were whispering around him and immediately understood what had happened.

"You are not qualified enough for my status."

After thinking for a while, Tatsumi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar all around.

The nobles looked at each other in bewilderment, obviously not expecting that this seemingly ordinary man would dare to respond to them so arrogantly.

The fat man's face darkened. He didn't expect Tatsumi to be so disrespectful.

"Humph, who do you think you are? You're just pretending to be so important!" The fat man sneered, "If you can't prove your identity, don't blame us for being rude!"

Tatsumi smiled faintly, a hint of amusement on his face, "You really want to know?"

"I'm all ears." The fat man remained calm, but he was secretly muttering to himself.

How come this guy is so fearless and so calm?

He can’t be someone really important.

Impossible, the temperament he displayed was not like that of an upper-class person at all...

Just as the fat man was brainwashing himself, he saw Tatsumi slowly sitting down and talking while eating.

"Since you asked sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you."

"Esdeath, you know..."

"My half sister."

Tatsumi was telling the truth. Esdeath was older than him and was indeed his non-blood-related sister.

……

The nobles could no longer stand when they heard what Tatsumi said.

Esdeath!

The legendary female general suppressed the rebellion with iron-blooded means and protected the country with powerful strength. She was the most prestigious woman in the empire.

Her name brought both awe and fear to the nobles.

But now, they were told that this powerful female general was actually the sister of the man in front of them!

"Does Ernest know?"

"I have a special relationship with him," Tatsumi continued.

Each wants to kill the other.

Can that relationship be called normal?

……

The nobles' eyes suddenly became horrified.

Ernest, the minister of the empire, has great power in the court. On the surface, the highest executor of power is the young emperor, but in reality he is just a puppet emperor supported by the ministers.

He is the man at the top of power.

His status and influence are unmatched in the empire.

This young man actually has a special relationship with Ernest? !

The nobles' eyes turned towards Tatsumi and changed instantly. There was fear and passion...

The fat man was completely stunned at this moment. The joy in his heart had long since disappeared, replaced by endless fear and panic.

I began to regret my impulsiveness and why I wanted to expose the man's identity.

"The Four Rakshasa Ghosts..."

"I'm a bodyguard."

Tatsumi continued to speak, and every word hit the nobles' hearts like a hammer.

The Four Rakshasa Ghosts are masters from the top boxing school, the Imperial Fist Temple. They are among the top fighters in the empire, with unfathomable strength, and are admired by countless people.

And now, these four people are actually the boy's bodyguards? !

"The leader of An Ning Dao..."

"Forget it. It's not convenient to reveal his identity. (I can't make it up anymore.)"

"Now, do you still want to know my identity?" Tatsumi raised his head and glanced coldly at the nobles around him. His eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty that made everyone tremble with fear.

The nobles lowered their heads, not daring to look Tatsumi in the eye again.

It’s not like they haven’t tried to doubt Tatsumi’s identity.

But the expression displayed by the other party was so calm that there was no trace of lying at all, as if he was narrating something that already happened!

Besides, their attitude towards Tatsumi just now was not very good.

Some even just take the attitude of watching the show.

No one wants to be the first to stand out and get into trouble.

Except for the arrows that have already been put on the string and have to be fired...

Fat man.

"Humph, nothing but words. Why should you make us believe it..."

Before the fat man could finish his words, a white figure rushed towards him at an astonishing speed.

Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and then the figure had already arrived in front of the fat man, raising his hand high.

Bang! What came out was a heavy bag.

He was so strong that he knocked the fat man weighing nearly 200 pounds high into the air.

Thomas performed a 360-degree, no-dead-angle, super elastic spiral golden flash, super round dance roar, three-style spin in the air...

"Humph, a mere baron dares to speak to my master like that!"

Everyone was shocked. The originally noisy hall became silent at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on the figure that suddenly appeared.

The sharp-eyed people recognized the identity of the person at a glance.

"It's General Esdeath's lieutenant, Lord Liva!"

This name was like a thunderclap, causing a stir in the crowd again.

General Esdeath is a legendary figure in the empire. As her deputy, Riva is naturally extraordinary as well. His strength and status are enough to inspire awe.

When the fat man heard what Liva said, he was struck by lightning and stood still.

His face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What the boy said before was actually true!

He hit the iron plate!

"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize the real master. Please spare me!"

The fat man didn't care about the burning pain and swelling on his cheeks. He rolled over and knelt at Tatsumi's feet, crying and begging for mercy.

"Lao Wa, I want to eat fish."

Tatsumi didn't even look at the fat man.

Just talking to himself.

"learn."

Liva nodded slightly, then picked up a piece of fish from the table and placed it in Tatsumi's bowl.

"..."

Tatsumi fell into deep thought.
