Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

"Captain, I'll go find that boy now."

"No, I'll go myself." Esdeath stood up from her chair.

Lan was a little surprised, "Captain?"

Esdeath didn't reply, but walked down the stairs and towards Tatsumi.

......

Esdeath walked up to Tatsumi and stared at him.

Meanwhile, Tatsumi was staring into...the abyss.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a general because he has a great mind.

The general's magnanimity is unimaginable.

"Your name is... Tatsumi, right? What a nice name." Esdeath said, with a hint of appreciation in her tone.

Esdeath's voice is not as sharp and crisp as that of a normal woman. Instead, it is more like a man's deep and magnetic voice.

It is like the north wind on a winter night, cold yet with a certain chilling beauty.

"Thanks for the compliment...your name is nice, too."

It is impolite to go without coming back.

Tatsumi also praised the other party.

Esdeath was slightly stunned, and then a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

She was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary young man could face her aura so calmly and respond to her compliments.

Esdeath raised an eyebrow, "Do you know my name?"

Tatsumi smiled softly and said, "Who in the empire doesn't know the name of General Esdeath?"

"Besides, such a beautiful general...I'm afraid that even the most distant places will be attracted by your name."

Esdeath was a little distracted by Tatsumi's sudden 'tease'.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of amusement in her voice, "I didn't expect that you are also a guy who can say sweet words."

"General, you are too kind." Tatsumi's eyes were sincere and he showed a sunny and cheerful smile, "I am just speaking the truth."

Praise + pure smile.

May I ask Lord Esdeath?

How should we deal with this set of combined moves?

Facing Tatsumi's praise and bright smile, Esdeath felt a strange emotion in her heart.

Accustomed to the blood and killing on the battlefield, few people can touch her heart so easily.

Is this the love I have been looking for?

"Tatsumi, you are indeed different."

She smiled, and her cold face flushed slightly.

"You fought beautifully in that duel just now."

"Let me give you some reward..." Esdeath slightly opened her collar and reached into the abyss to dig around.

Watching Esdeath's movements, Tatsumi was actually quite curious.

Can anything really fit in that ravine?

A four-dimensional pocket unique to two-dimensional women?

Wait, the reward...

Slave collar?

This reward is not appreciated.

Tatsumi took a step forward and placed his hand on Esdeath's, his eyes sincere.

"Sir, there is no need for a reward. Your willingness to bend down and talk to me is the greatest reward for me."

"No, I have to reward you!"

Esdeath remained unmoved, and became even more excited when she saw Tatsumi's resistance.

The more he resisted, the more excited she became.

"There's really no need." Tatsumi's eyes darkened.

...............................................................................

Esdeath stared at Tatsumi with a calm, expressionless face.

"Um..."

"good?"

"Come back with me. Then it will be just the two of us. You can do whatever you want."

Tatsumi: ...

This condition seems a bit too good?

He wavered slightly for a moment.

However, when he saw Esdeath take out a slave collar and want to put it on himself, his eyes became firm again.

How could he succumb to such beauty and such a beautiful woman?

A real man stands between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for long!

Tatsumi took a deep breath, pulled his hand back suddenly, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Esdeath.

His eyes were firm and his voice was powerful:

"General Esdeath, I admit that your beauty is indeed attractive."

"But I, Tatsumi, am definitely not someone who is seduced by beauty."

"What I pursue is freedom and dignity, not becoming a slave at your disposal for the sake of momentary pleasure."

"Besides...don't you think this is too boring?"

"Even if it really comes to that..."

"I hope I conquer you, not you conquer me."

Esdeath stared at Tatsumi's determined eyes, lost in thought, and her love for her grew even deeper.

Yes, it is this determined look.

It's so wonderful and delightful!

Such uncompromising persistence: such courage in the face of her power!

It was as if a stream of clear water was washing away her battle-hardened heart.

Esdeath raised her chin slightly, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and an indescribable light flashed in her eyes.

"Oh?" She laughed softly, "Conquer me? What a bold idea."

Tatsumi straightened his chest and looked at Esdeath without flinching, "Yes, I will conquer you. Maybe not now, but tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, later, in the future..."

"interesting."

Putting away the slave collar, Esdeath slowly took out the slender sword from her waist and said, "Since you are so determined, I will give you a chance."

"If you can defeat me, then I will be at your disposal."

"If you lose, just listen to me."

Tatsumi's eyes flickered and he fell silent.

Doesn't this woman understand what people say?

He has already made it very clear just now.

Now I can't beat...

Why do you propose such a bet?

"I don't use my imperial power."

As if she had noticed the other party's concern, Esdeath added.

Hearing this, Tatsumi's eyes lit up.

If you say so, I will be sure.

Not to mention his LV12 swordsmanship makes him invincible in the world.

But when it comes to swordsmanship skills alone, no one in this world can possibly be his match.

Isn't it that Esdeath has walked into the trap herself?

The worries in his heart instantly dissipated, Tatsumi looked directly at Esdeath and spoke slowly.

"I promise."
