With this thought, Takeru decided not to waste any more time and directly attacked towards his staff. Over there, Zanku used the dual swords in his hands to quickly block Takeru's assault.
"Hmm, so impatient. Attacking right from the start with a sneak attack. But even though I can't see through your mind, my Teigu still possesses Future Sight, you know. I can see all of your attacks clearly!" Zanku said while blocking Takeru's strikes.
"Oh, really? Then did you see the future where you are slain by me?" Hearing his words, Takeru lightly laughed during a gap in his attacks.
After hearing Takeru's words, Zanku seemed to see something. He jumped back in alarm, staring at Takeru.
"Hmm, saw something, did you?" Seeing Zanku's reaction, Takeru spoke with curiosity.
But Zanku said nothing, quickly turning and running off in a certain direction.
"It would be troublesome to let you escape. After all, you might very well be a task." Watching the fleeing Zanku, Takeru spoke calmly.
"Soru!" Takeru uttered softly, and his figure soon vanished from the spot. After two consecutive Soru, Takeru caught up to Zanku, even blocking his path.
Seeing Takeru's suddenly appearing figure, Zanku instinctively swung the short sword in his hand at Takeru. But when his blade touched Takeru's palm, it was as if it had struck something incredibly hard, unable to penetrate at all.
Takeru tightly gripped his weapon and kicked him hard, sending him flying.
"You are suffering, aren't you? I will help you find complete release." Looking at Zanku, who had almost lost his ability to fight from that single kick, Takeru spoke calmly.
There was no helping it… the difference in their strength was too great. When Takeru had no intention of prolonging the fight, Zanku's strength naturally couldn't force Takeru into any so-called hard-fought battle.
Coming before him, Takeru calmly looked at Zanku, whose eyes were wide with pain, and thrust the sharp end of his staff into his heart.
As Takeru pierced his heart, he completely lost his ability to struggle.
"The voices... have stopped. Plea...sure, pleasure. Thank you..." Even though Takeru had killed him, Zanku left this world with a slight smile in the end.
No one knew that as Zanku kept killing those people, now whenever he fell silent, he could hear special voices… the moans of the people he had killed, coming from hell. Because they hated Zanku, it was as if they were constantly urging Zanku to go to hell...
The reason he stole the Teigu and killed indiscriminately was also because these so-called voices tormented him to the brink of collapse. Although he didn't completely break down, he became a madman. It wasn't until Takeru slew him that those voices finally stopped.
Afterwards, Takeru also took Zanku's Teigu. Holding the Teigu in his hand, Takeru had a feeling he could freely wield it.
However, Takeru shook his head. This Teigu was somewhat redundant for him. The observational ability? His En could pretty much achieve that. Far-sight and X-ray vision? His Observation Haki could do that. As for Future Sight, Takeru felt Observation Haki might be able to achieve it.
Only the illusion ability was something Takeru couldn't do. But acquiring illusion abilities wasn't difficult and he could simply exchange for them in the Reincarnation Space.
Of course, although it was somewhat redundant for Takeru, this item was still very good. After some thought, Takeru didn't immediately store it in his item slot… after all, now wasn't the time yet...
"Takeru, are you okay?" Not long after Takeru took off the Spectator, Akame, her eyes filled with worry and concern, quickly arrived not far from Takeru.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The task is already complete." Holding up the Spectator, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"That's great!" Hearing Takeru's words, Akame also let out a sigh of relief, but she still forcibly came over and felt around Takeru's body. Only after completely confirming he was unharmed did she pull Takeru to go regroup with the others.
Takeru could only look helplessly at Akame's actions. He suspected she was a female pervert, but he had no evidence...
Afterwards, once everyone gathered, they quickly ran back to the base.
Although they returned to the base, Takeru didn't immediately hand over the Spectator to Najenda. Using the pretext of studying it, he retained possession.
Since Takeru personally hunted it, Najenda, though puzzled, didn't forcibly take it back when she saw Takeru's serious expression.
Soon, another peaceful day passed. That night, Takeru was lying on his bed with his eyes closed, meditating, when he sensed a figure suddenly enter.
Just as Takeru thought it was Leone again, the figure's owner pulled up a chair and sat beside Takeru, just staring at Takeru blankly.
"Sheele, is there something you need?" Opening his eyes, Takeru looked at Sheele helplessly.
"Huh? Takeru, you're not asleep yet? Or did I disturb you? I'm really sorry." Seeing Takeru suddenly open his eyes, Sheele spoke in her clueless, adorable way.
"No, I just sensed someone coming. Sheele, it's so late. Is there something?" Looking at Sheele's demeanor, Takeru sighed and spoke again.
Come to think of it, Sheele was the first important character to be lost in the anime. Her screen time wasn't much, but she left a deep impression.
She got along best with Mine and Akame, often partnering with Mine. In the end, she was killed by Seryu's Teigu while saving Mine...
"Good evening. I heard starting tomorrow, Takeru will be my subordinate. Please take care of me." Hearing Takeru's question, Sheele said directly.
'So, what's the connection between becoming your subordinate tomorrow and appearing in my room tonight?'
Looking at Sheele's clueless appearance, although Takeru wanted to ask that, it was clear he definitely wouldn't get a normal answer.
"So, Sheele, you plan to just sit here and rest tonight?" Seeing Sheele holding a blanket, Takeru couldn't help but say helplessly.
"Mhm, don't worry, I won't disturb you." Hearing Takeru's words, Sheele said directly.
"That's not the problem, is it?" Hearing Sheele's words, Takeru also sighed helplessly.
Letting a beauty sit on a chair while he himself slept soundly in bed… that just didn't seem right no matter how he looked at it.
"Well, whatever. Sheele, if you don't mind, come up and rest too." After thinking for a moment, Takeru said directly.
"Huh? Is that okay? Won't I disturb you?" Hearing Takeru's words, Sheele spoke worriedly.
"Don't worry. Leone did this often before." Hearing her words, Takeru lightly shook his head.
"Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony!" Hearing that Leone often did such things, Sheele also unceremoniously climbed onto the bed, lay down beside Takeru, then took off her glasses and slept using the blanket she brought...
Looking at the completely unguarded Sheele, Takeru didn't know whether to be happy about Sheele's trust in him or worried for Sheele. She was just too simple, clueless, and adorable… the kind easily sold out who would still help count the money.
Afterwards, Takeru stopped overthinking and closed his eyes again to meditate.
The next day arrived quickly. Takeru woke up very early in the morning. Looking at the sunlight streaming in, and noticing Sheele hugging him, Takeru suddenly realized he was getting used to this kind of life.
How to put it... Leone and Sheele had similar figures, both very well-endowed, and their heights weren't too different either.
Shaking his head, Takeru stopped thinking too much. He gently lifted Sheele's arm and leg, then lightly jumped to the floor.
Twisting his body slightly, he glanced at Sheele, who was still sleeping, and then went to the stream for a simple wash-up before starting a new day of training...
As time passed, Lubbock, Najenda, Leone, and the others sat around the dining table.
"Is it okay for Sheele to be the superior?" Stabbing a piece of apple with his fork and eating it, Lubbock spoke with a worried expression.
"It should be fine, right? Sheele really likes Takeru." Najenda said directly.
"The reason is?" Hearing Najenda's words, Lubbock asked in surprise, because he remembered Takeru and Sheele didn't interact much.
"Takeru is handsome, gentle, capable, and has a special aura. He's quite popular with the senior members." Najenda said directly.
"That's right. Also, he's already scheduled to be my subordinate next!" Leone excitedly raised her hand and said.
"See? That's also a kind of talent." Najenda said directly.
"What kind of thing is this? That's too sly!" Lubbock held his head and let out a cry of extreme envy.
