She ignored him.
She didn't like to talk during battle. She silently wiped the stains off her Teigu scissors and quickly disappeared down the corridor.
"You stop right there!"
Tatsumi broke free from his fear, angrily ran two steps forward,
but thinking of Mr. Merchant who had treated him to a meal, and the gentle and kind Miss Aria, he hastily stopped chasing her.
He returned to the room and picked up his short sword forged from fine steel.
This was a weapon the villagers had pooled money to have a blacksmith forge when he left the village; he and his two companions each had one.
Suddenly,
Tatsumi remembered that there seemed to be two very similar short swords hanging on the wall of the wealthy Merchant's living room.
However, he didn't have time to think much; the priority now was to protect Mr. Merchant and Miss Aria.
"Mr. Fang Yi, are you alright?"
Tatsumi kicked open the door and found that Mr. Fang Yi was not sleeping, but was hunched over a desk.
On a piece of rough paper, various words he couldn't understand were written, and in the center of the paper was a towering black tower that reached into the clouds.
"Is that Tatsumi?"
Fang Yi didn't even lift his head, asking gently, "Did you run into trouble?"
In fact, he was asking knowingly.
With his strength, even if all the Teigu Users of Night Raid hid at the ends of the earth, he could sense their every move.
What's more, they were openly killing people in this villa.
"It's Night Raid!"
Tatsumi's voice was agitated. He pulled Fang Yi, wanting to leave the room, and said, "The assassin organization that caused chaos in the Capital, wanted criminals! They are slaughtering Miss Aria's family!"
He held up his fine steel short sword, constantly alert to dangers around him.
"Mr. Fang Yi, you and little sister Ah Fu hide well. I'm going to save Miss Aria!"
The sound of bullets firing echoed not far away.
Tatsumi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, reminded Fang Yi to take cover, and then charged forward with his short sword.
He was very afraid of death.
The Night Raid organization looked very formidable; just the female assassin with the scissor weapon exuded a terrifying sense of oppression.
He still wanted to live and make a name for himself, to help his fellow villagers escape hardship and poverty.
However, Tatsumi was also a grateful person and couldn't just watch the friendly wealthy Merchant family be killed.
"Wait, Tatsumi."
Fang Yi called out to Tatsumi, who hadn't run far. After walking over, he looked at Tatsumi's fine steel short sword and said, "Can you give me your short sword?"
Tatsumi was anxious inside, still unsure of Miss Aria's situation.
He initially wanted to refuse, but as if by some strange impulse, he handed over the fine steel short sword.
"Thank you for escorting me."
Fang Yi held the short sword, his finger gently touching the blade, then he casually returned it to Tatsumi, smiling, "Consider it my blessing to you."
Just as the malice of the food stall owner towards him had caused a riot in the World's consciousness.
Tatsumi's sincere goodwill would also receive feedback.
A faint, ethereal source of power was infused into Tatsumi's body by the consciousness of the Teigu World.
And Fang Yi's action
was to transform that source into tangible power, rather than vague concepts like luck or world favor.
"Thank you."
Tatsumi gripped the short sword, suddenly feeling something was off.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his body felt lighter, and strange knowledge gradually appeared in his mind.
He had no time to think further.
The situation was critical. Tatsumi ran wildly, finally spotting Miss Aria's figure outside the mountain forest behind the villa.
Two armored guards stood in front of Aria, continuously pulling triggers,
sparks flew, and bullets shot towards the enemy.
"So weak!"
Leone, in her beast-human form, moved swiftly, skillfully dodging bullets and rapidly approaching.
The magazine was emptied.
Taking advantage of the opening, Leone, like a pouncing leopard, tore through the iron armor with her sharp beast claws, shredding the guard's internal organs.
Another guard let out a terrified shriek,
directly throwing away his empty pistol and, ignoring Aria's calls from behind him, fled into the distance.
"Annihilation!"
Akame, like a nimble nightingale, descended from the sky, her demonic blade Murasame piercing the chest of the fleeing guard.
She didn't follow up with another strike.
Strands of curses, like black worms, crawled along the wound and spread throughout his body, devouring his life.
"Stop right there!"
Just as Akame charged towards the terrified Aria, Tatsumi let out an angry roar.
Akame was unmoved. She pushed off with her right foot and in a blink of an eye was in front of Aria, swinging her demonic blade Murasame.
Clang!
The thrown fine steel short sword precisely struck the demonic blade.
It blocked Akame's attack, which was originally intended to be a fatal blow to the throat.
Aria was so scared she wet her pants, warm yellow liquid soaking her princess dress, and she scrambled on all fours to the warehouse, taking advantage of the opening.
The warehouse was a cage specially built for torturing and humiliating commoners.
To prevent their malicious deeds from being exposed, it was built with the sturdiest bricks, and the door was also steel plate.
As long as she hid inside,
even Night Raid wouldn't be able to break in.
"Then I'll kill you first!"
Akame ignored Aria, who was scrambling towards the factory building, and turned to look at Tatsumi, who had interrupted her mission.
In her eyes, anyone who obstructed her mission had to die.
Annihilation!
Before Akame could charge over, Tatsumi lunged forward first, picked up his fine steel short sword, and then rolled on the ground like a donkey,
lying on his back.
Clang!
The fine steel short sword, held horizontally in front of him, narrowly blocked the descending demonic blade.
Such strong arm strength, and even the speed...
Tatsumi turned his body, rolled several meters, then got up from the ground, looking at Akame with a solemn expression.
He shook his numb palm.
His heart gradually sank.
The black-haired Akame girl in front of him, no wonder she could be considered a vicious criminal by the Capital; just one strike made Tatsumi realize that he was not as strong as her.
Moreover,
there were several other assassins in the Night Raid organization.
"It's not over yet, Akame, too slow!"
Leone finished off the nearby guards, and upon returning, she saw Akame confronting Tatsumi and teased.
"Mission accomplished!"
A burly dark figure wrapped in armor appeared, emitting a strong, resonant voice.
"Do you need me to strangle him for you, Akame?"
Lubbock stood in mid-air, stepping on threads, looking down at Tatsumi from above.
Akame didn't respond.
She gripped her demonic blade and charged at Tatsumi, her blade flashing, and her continuous slashes were all blocked by Tatsumi.
"What is this...?"
Although Tatsumi was retreating repeatedly, his fine steel short sword kept clashing with the demonic blade, and Akame couldn't break through his defense.
Even he felt confused.
When did he become so strong?
Even ignoring his physical fitness, from the black-haired Akame girl's combat skills when she killed people, he was definitely not her opponent.
"Not bad, he can actually go back and forth with Akame!"
Brand, who was watching, was also surprised.
Is he a newly hired guard for the wealthy family? His strength is considerable; even most Imperial soldiers don't have this kind of strength.
His control over the fine steel short sword clearly showed he had been taught by a master.
"Who is he? His name isn't in the wealthy Merchant's records."
"He seems to be a foreigner who just arrived in the Capital, deceived by the wealthy Merchant, and is still completely unaware of the truth."
Leone thought for a moment, remembering that she had seen this kid at the Imperial Army recruitment office during the day.
At that time, he seemed to say he had just arrived in the Capital, but because he didn't understand the rules and didn't give money to the Imperial soldiers, he was kicked out.
She had originally intended to extort him,
to make him give up and leave the Capital, but she was attracted by Fang Yi, who seemed wealthier, so she didn't commit the crime.
"Akame, don't kill him yet!"
