Before reading this story, be aware that there may be grammatical errors. So if you find some, please point them out.

Secondly, Tasumi's point of view will look a bit radical, not yet, but I hope with the background I'll give in this and next chapters you understand it a bit.

And before anything... Tatsumi isn't going the Seryu route.


A young boy accompanied his father in a horse. It was the first time he had left the village, and was eager to see a city. His mother didn't want him to leave for some reason, but after days of whining, she accepted.

He didn't understand why she was so obsessed with the idea of never leaving the village. Maybe it was because the city was big? But it wasn't as big as the capital! Or so his father told him...

"The city looks very big, right Tatsumi?" His father started to talk.

He looked at the thick walls that covered the whole town. The city's name was something like... Jalkala. It was at the north of the Empire, being the last big city before passing through some castles, and finally the capital. It was also the closest city to his village.

"There are so many people...!" All of his senses were overwhelmed. The scents, the buildings, the sounds...

His father needed to buy something that could only be found in the city. Tatsumi didn't know what was so important to come all the way here, but he didn't mind. He was happy to see new things.

At some point, they left the horse at the side of a strange looking building. The top of it was burned, but the bottom was perfectly clean. Was this a city thing...?

"Stick close to me. God knows what your mother will do if I lost you." Tatsumi nodded without complains. If he could get lost in the forest near his village, imagine in a city...

As they entered the shop, his father went to talk to the owner. However, the boy started to look at the strange objects that hanged around the ceiling. He looked at some strange cat ears, that looked far from normal. It was like they were trying to influence him...

Trying to shake off the weird feeling, he turned around and looked at the pictures in the wall. There were maps, and pictures of odd weapons. Was that a bird...?

"Hey kid! Don't touch ANYTHING!" He jumped at the sound of the owner's voice. It seemed like his father was done with whatever he did. Too fast...

"Damn it... I guess we'll have to sleep here for today." His father muttered.

"Whaaat! You said that the city gets more lively at night!" He said innocently.

"Y-Yes... Maybe in some years you'll understand what I meant." As he helped a confused Tatsumi to get on the horse, he hid a small bag in his pockets.

They started to leave the market area to find an inn.

As Tatsumi calmed down, he started to get less interested in the buildings, and more in the people. They didn't seem very happy. His glare stopped by a bunch of people begging for money.

"Are those people poor, dad?" Tatsumi said, without averting his eyes.

"Yes." It seemed like his father didn't want to respond.

"Very poor?"

"Very."

"The poorest in the city?"

"Who knows? But there are worse things than poverty. They are unfortunate for something else." His father answered with apathy.

"Why?" Tatsumi insisted.

"I don't know. Those were old, so I guess their sons are in prison." They had already passed them, but Tatsumi couldn't keep quiet. His mind still remembered their expressions.

"Have they killed somebody?" Something had ticked him off. Something was starting to build inside of him.

"Perhaps, but I wouldn't doubt it." He had only heard his father talk in that tone with his mother.

"Then I guess he isn't in prison. If he was a bad person, his parents would have money. He would be stealing." His father didn't respond.

They continued walking on the horse until they reached an Inn. At that moment, Tatsumi talked again.

"Why does nobody help them?"

"What does it matter, Tatsumi? If they die, rich or poor, they will be always be alone even if somebody helps them. Life is like that." Tatsumi remembered how they weren't saying anything. The people around them didn't say anything. He didn't say anything. "What can you do?"

That was the phrase that set off everything. Like the first gear that started moving, an ideal started to build up inside his head. At first, he just thought "Why does nobody help them?" As he started to think more in the very same night, he answered that question."Because they're poor."

But then, why were they poor? People didn't just lose their money with no apparent reason. Then... Who made them like that? His father told him "Taxes. The government is rising them like they are clouds."

Those people up there just thought about getting more money, no matter what? Why? Why do those people get richer, and the normal people get only poorer? Could he achieve justice... in some way?


"Hey boy! It's your turn." I heard the man in the desk groan before me. I should stop remembering the past...

I 'm not used to seeing so many people together, and it's kind of stressing. My father always told me the amount of people that lived in the capital, but seeing first handed was overwhelming. Even if I wanted to be here, the injustice I have seen in the streets wants me to leave.

Really, they're not really trying to hide it.

"Ah, yes! Sorry..." I grabbed the sheet of paper he offered me.

It was the inscription to enter the Imperial Army. If you were a noble, or had enough money, you could start right away as a captain, or even as a cataphract. But somebody like me had to start as a skutatoi... a foot soldier and I'm not really aiming for this one.

"Isn't there a cheap way to start in a more... important position?" This question is probably pretty dumb but..."I can give you some money if you tell me." Master always said that the money could be used for other ways. For some reason, he laughed when he said that.

"...How much?" He seemed reluctant at first, but quickly asked me the price.

Ah! Corrupted deskman!

"How about..." I grabbed some of the coins I had earned slaying beasts. Apparently killing danger beasts isn't enough to be famous, but if I'm born in some rich family I'm the best in the world. I hate these rules for entering the army.

I seem very hateful today for some reason. I bet it's the air.

"Well, there are certainly some ways..." He said as he looked at the gold coins."If you are suicidal enough, you can go after Night Raid. But seeing you as you are, you can start as the bodyguard of some wealthy family, or even challenging somebody in the army."

I don't know what Night Raid is, but I don't like the word suicidal. But the other options...

"To challenge a captain, do I need to be in the Army?" My voice was loud enough to grab the attention of the people around me. Why are they looking at me like that...?

"You are really crazy... But yes. You can beat them up, but without being in the army you would just end up crucified." He's joking, right?

"And if I'm a bodyguard... I'm in the army?" I've been living in a village in the middle of nothing my whole live. I don't know this things!

"I don't know! Now, are you signing in? Because the line behind you won't disappear like nothing!" People in the capital are so mean...

As I left the barracks, I started to gather up my thoughts.

My village is being drown in taxes. It would be normal for the bad times the Empire is having, but we have every tax augmented a 50%. Why?

Pretty easy. I tried to attack a general... or somebody important of the army. I was like... 12 years old and I can't remember much. I just know that I was with a girl and I protected her.

As you can guess... I didn't win. But in order to save me, my village made that deal.

But I'm not in the capital to get money. I will get an important charge of the army, and with that power... I'll overthrow this government. A world where only a few privileged live without worry, it's not a world. It's literally hell on Earth for simple people like myself.

I don't know if I'm the only one that thinks like this, but I know that with time and my ideas spread... People will join me.

"Hey there boy! They didn't want you in the army, huh?" A girl with blond hair an- Boobs! I mean... her breasts are... big. Is this a lady of the night or whatever they call them?

"Uh... Here, with this you can find a suitable job." More coins disappeared from my bag to another person's hands. At least I helped the lady!

"W-Wait, I'm not a-"

I can't hear anything! Whatever she does with that it's not my problem.

...

Maybe I should go back and help her to find that job and th- She's gone. Well, maybe she did hear my pledge.


After walking around for a bit, I realized that I was walking in circles. I don't know the layout of this city, and even worse, I don't know if there are any Inns around here. If I can't find shelter soon enough, I'll have to sleep in the streets.

Well, if I'm lucky, maybe somebody generous enough might help me. Obviously they won't be some wealthy family. I haven't seen somebody noble and generous towards commoners... They only care about themselves and justice should act upon them.

And I don't mean killing them. I'm not that extreme, I think. Unless they've done a very bad thing. Even then, I feel uncomfortable thinking that. I've killed plenty of monsters, but they don't have a rational mind. Although in that forest with pinky I-

"Tell us girl! Where is your father?!" My thoughts were cut as I saw two persons surrounding a little girl in an alleyway.

"I... I don't know!" The girl definitely looked in trouble. Tears were pouring to her face and it seemed that those men weren't going to stop.

I can do this... They don't even have a name to begin with.

"If you need to talk to someone, I'm right here." The two large men turned to me. They meant business. I would have lied if I said I wasn't a bit intimidated, but as long as I have my sword, some thugs won't beat me.

"And who the fuck are you?" They seemed a bit shocked as I appeared.

"Just a wannabe hero, huh? Looks like we'll have to teach you some respect!" They laughed as they approached me.

I left my bag in the ground to get more speed. Just in case.

"Eat this!" The man who looked like the boss tried to punch me. Too slow.

The man looked shocked as I dodged easily to the left. Using his momentum to my advantage , I threw my knee upwards, hitting him right below the ribs. I'm not a hand to hand combat expert, but these guys only have strength, nothing more.

Before he recovered, I elbowed his neck, making him fall to the ground.

"Well, that happened. Who's next?" His comrade was already gone when I looked. Doesn't he have any respect or honor? "Someone has to give him a sentence..."

"T-Thank you sir!" The girl was still a bit impacted, but she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"It was nothing. After all, this is what the moon kn-, well what anyone would do!" Nothing feels better than a little bit of justice in the air. "But, what did they want from you?" The girl looked at the ground sadly.

More like stared. It didn't look like she was actually watching something

"I don't know... Dad went to find mom but he hasn't returned..." That's weird. Who would leave her daughter alone? Something bad has happened.

"Do you know where he went? Maybe I can find him." Even if it's already dusk, I can do it tomorrow. After all, I can always act a bit heroic sometimes.

"Well... somewhere. It was in one of those big houses that are in the forest..." That is a bit vague, but it's enough. If her father has gone into trouble, maybe I should go stealthy.

"That's more than enough." I crouched down to the girl's level. It's less intimidating to talk to someone of your height... but I don't think that matters. Her eyes don't have any shine on them.

Is she blind?

"Now, maybe somebody of the night watch can stay with you. I don't know if I can stay awake today..." I don't want to leave her with some creepy dude, but I also can't assure her safety.

"Ah... I'll follow you." Heh... I'm doing good things already. Helping a poor girl, took down this thug and I'll find her father. This won't get me renown, but the revolutionary meter will start to fill up!

"My name is Tatsumi. What's your name?" I should introduce myself. It doesn't sound very epic, but it gets better I swear!

"Nea..."

Walking hand in hand, I completely forgot about the man that tried to hurt her, but I couldn't bring him alone. Nowadays, he'll be in prison in no time if keeps like that.

When I find a guard or someone, I'll ask them about missing persons... I need to find those two! We all went in separate ways and maybe something bad happened to them. I hope Sayo was able to stay with Ieyasu. Because... that boy will end up back in the village with his sense of direction!

But they will be fine. I'm sure they are already in the capital, and I just didn't see them. That would be a problem considering all the people in the capital! Ah crap! We should have thought this through... But in the meantime, a guard!

"Excuse me... Do you know where this girl can stay for the night? Some thugs came over and she got separated from her dad." What a strange dog she has... I don't think dogs can walk like that.

And I didn't know girls could have a ponytale so large.

"Yes! I knew my justice detector didn't fail when I saw you! Where did this happen?" Isn't that nice to hear? Another fellow justice follower li- That wasn't what I asked.

"No no, I... took care of them already. But she doesn't know where her home is." The girl's eyes shined brightly, like she had heard where the candies were hidden.

"Good job serving justice! Then I'll do my part. I'm sure Koro will be happy to play with her!" She is too enthusiastic... But nevertheless, she seems to have learn by heart that justice must be done!

"That's nice to hear! I'll come tomorrow with your father!" Nea walked slowly towards her. Does she use sounds or something to know where everyone is?

"Justice seeker, we'll be here at the afternoon again!" The girl waved her hand while giving me a strange nickname.

Justice seeker?

"A-Alright. Then, I'll be here tomorrow." She seems like a good girl. I'm sure she'll keep that promise.

"Nea, don't worry about your dad. I'll get him back, I'm sure."

After I no longer saw their shadows, I sat down in the corner of a street. I did a very stupid thing! Why didn't I go with them?! Now I have to sleep in the streets. Whatever...

Sayo... We will meet again, right?


It seems that the capital doesn't appreciate wanderers. Or just homeless people in general. It was already hard to sleep, and when I had barely slept 4 hours, some guards tried to capture me for being on the street. In my defense, I did try to reason with them. I mean, I do have my favorite white coat and I don't look very suspicious. When I realized that it wasn't working I kind of... run away.

At least I met that girl and puppy. She didn't look so bad, and she didn't even question me about that incident. I guess there's always light in the darkness. Then again, I don't really know her, so I won't make more assumptions.

"I don't even know where I am." Stupid capital. I've lost half day running around, and a quarter trying to find something to eat. Why don't you have maps? Maybe there is one in the walls somewhere.

And as I thought, there were some posters in the walls. Although it wasn't a map.

"Akame... from... Night Raid." What a weird typography. I can't almost read with these strange words. How were they able to make such a good picture of her? She's an assassin of some sorts... Isn't the point of an assassin to not be seen? Wait, those are ninjas. Never mind.

I could always go out and try to find her but I don't want to die so easily. Sorry red eyes but we hopefully will never meet.

What is Night Raid anyways? The posters just say that they oppose the Empire, so they are technically good...? Maybe they are like me, and they want to set things right. But I don't know what kind of right they are looking for. What if they want just personal gain? Or they just are a bunch of opposing families and want to be the next emperor or something.

Wait, if the emperor is the source of the corruption, then that means that I'll be able to put whatever government I have if I dispose of him. Tatsumi the Emperor sounds very bad... I don't want to rule, but I want to make sure that there isn't any corruption.

"Agh! Without Sayo or Ieyasu, I think of very weird stuff. I'm lonely..."

At least I'm already out of the capital. I should really stop talking with myself of my plans... Plans that don't exist actually. Huh... I should start thinking in some jokes.

Walking through the woods, I saw that I was actually much closer to the capital than I expected. Literally five meters. And just to my right I find a sign which is telling me to not enter private property. If they don't apply the law, why should I?

"Oh yeah... I can actually die if I don't follow the rules. Bah, I'll just go sneaky sneaky lemon squeezy!" I haven't done anything stealthy in years, but I'll just have a look.

Covering my head with my coat's hood, I made my way into the owned land.


Tree. Tree. Tree. Bush. Flower. Why is this private property exactly? It's like everything else. At least there aren't any Earth Dragons. Which for some reason look like beetles. Why did they...

Hold on! A clearing with a nice little warehouse. And that to the left is a dirt road. I'll follow the road and-

"-hy do we have to clean the entrance? It will just get dirty again." I quickly hid behind a tree. Two persons, probably soldiers, left the warehouse with two spears... mops? They are drenched in some red liquid... It couldn't be...?

"You know how the missy gets when her shoes get even a taint of blood." Perhaps it's a slaughterhouse? But why would soldiers be cleaning it?

"Yeah... Let's go back before the sun sets. It gets very creepy when you know what's in th-" The voices of the soldiers disappeared along with their easy-going attitude.

There can't be people there, right? I mean, I wouldn't be happy cleaning blood and surrounded by corpses! That's just... messed up!

Feeling a bit stressed, I unsheathed my sword from my back, leaving behind my bag with all my belongings.

The sword just brings me security, and with all that strange talk, I just have a strange feeling running up my spine. But what if I'm right? People like that can't exist. How could you do such things to other humans?

The door of the warehouse was locked. I could turn back at any second and forget about this. But then... I wouldn't forgive myself if people are really dying because of my stubbornness.

Using the sword as a crowbar, I started to put pressure into it.

CLANK!

The wood that covered the handle broke, and a mixture of smells started to come out the warehouse. I should have never opened that door.

I felt like vomiting suddenly.

The stomach acid irritated the back of my throat. I grabbed my throat with my hands, and after an incredible suffering, the urge to vomit stopped.

What I saw was pain. In all sorts of forms. The death, the sadness, the rage... It was all condensed here, and it entered my mind suddenly.

"T-Tatsumi? It's... It's that you!? Tatsumi?!"

I felt all the blood from my face disappearing.

My mouth was getting dry.

I fell to my knees. I couldn't breathe out after I took a deep breath.

I could feel my cold sweat soaking my clothes.

I-Ieyasu?!

I swallowed the little saliva I had left. "W-Why..? Ieyasu?! How...?!"

"T-They looked like good people! B-But after drinking water they offered me, I ended up here! I'm... glad to see you..." He was covered in black stains, like the black plague.

Why is this happening?! Why?!

Almost without noticing it, I had already broken the door that separated me from him. He looked very weak. He had been here for a long time... He had arrived before me.

"Don't worry! I'll bring you to a doctor and... And...!" Even at this state, he smiled.

"Sorry... I won't make it. That blond bitch... I endured everything she did! I... knew you would come..." This isn't...!

"Looks like I'm the first down... But remember..." He coughed some blood. I still remember that childish pact we made as kids.

"Your soul will keep for me, right?" I felt the tears covering my face. I'll save one hit for you... best friend.

"Yeah... Create the perfect world..." With those last words, he closed his eyes for the last time.


After some minutes walking through the forest, I reached the mansion. The sun had set already, and it was the perfect time to enter.

Avoiding the obvious way to enter, I looked at the windows that looked easily breakable. I had only one goal now. Sorry Nea, but I have something to deal with.

With a running start, I quickly made my way into the first floor.

The guards know what happens in this house. Yet they just keep silent. I won't be responsible of my acts with my current state.

The house was silent. I heard some footsteps in the upper floor, quickly followed by some voices in front of me. I was confident that my face couldn't be seen by the white hood I had, and I wouldn't have any problem.

"-ut she still sucking! Hahaha!" Those guards were patrolling, just eight meters in front of me, but the smell of alcohol could be smell even from here.

"I always hate when they d- Hey! Intrud-"

Before the man could finish the sentence, I quickly thrust my sword like a lightning bolt. My sword had already broken her spinal cord, as well as all his organs. I now know why my master said to only use this techniques in extreme situations.

"Monster!" The man unsheathed his sword and immediately slashed horizontally. I had already saw this years ago...

I ducked, his sword merely missing my head by inches. In less than a second my sword was already heading to his neck. The only thing I saw in his face was regret. Blood tainted my white coat and face.

I'm using the techniques that my master forbid me to use. The sword flash, and the decapitation... There is only one more.

I felt my grip on the sword shivering. I couldn't move as the man's blood touched me and covered my clothes and face. Damn it...

Trying to forget it, I started to check quickly every room and ran upstairs.

I headed towards the only room in the second floor that had light, and broke the door down with a kick.

It was empty.

"I know you are here." I started to talk. That was a good start, keep going."Why did you torture Ieyasu?! He had a good heart! But you didn't care, did you?" I opened the wardrobe, but it only had dresses and shoes. Nobody was here.

"You have power and money, huh? You think you're at the top of the food chain? I can do anything in the world and nobody can yell me back. That's what you think?" I looked below the bed, but nobody was there.

"Maybe she really isn't here... Well, now I know what to say when I find her." I'll avenge you, Ieyasu. Don't worry.

Before leaving the room, I looked through the window. The sun had really disappeared, and the moon was full. How strange... are there really only two guards here or did I judge wrong?

That can't be it. Nobody can lie when they are dying. And even though Ieayasu jokes... joked a lot, when we die, we are only humans... Well, at least I grow up with that idea. It's more like a concept than an idea but... She's running away?!

I spotted two people fleeing from the house. A girl and a guard. Even without the sunlight, I could see they were distressed. Did they find out I'm here?

Trying to calm myself, I left the room and started to climb down the stairs. The bodies of the two guards were still there, but I closed my eyes and ran past them. With the last bit of adrenaline running down my body, I jumped through the window.

OUCH!

That hurt more than it should... They were running towards the very same path I entered. Maybe they were heading towards... that place. Damn it!

Everything looks grim now... It's like the own trees know what's happening. I can't hear the wind passing through the little forest, and even my footsteps sound like they are trying to hide from me.

For some reason, I'm glad that I'm away from that mansion. Something bad is happening.

"Stop!" A male voice stopped me.

I had already reached the clearing in front of the warehouse. A soldier was pointing at me with his gun. A chill ran down my spine.

"You are too from Night Raid, aren't you?" My eyes focused on the blond girl at his side. She is... She is the reason Ieayasu is dead!

I tried to move, but a small ball graced my rigth arm. The man had fired his gun.

"The next one will be in your head!" I can't run. If he is protecting that girl, it means he is as guilty as her!

He is at 18 meters away from me, more or less. I can't run fast enough to attack him with my sword. I'll have to use that then...

"O-Okay... I'm putting the sword away!" I yelled at him.

As my right hand raised the sword to put it in its sheath, my left hand slowly approached my belt. I hope he doesn't notice...

"I'm seeing your other hand move! Stop or... Shit!" Something had scared the soldier, as he briefly lost the grip of his gun. This is it!

Without losing a second, I pulled my secret weapon. A handgun! Some girl left it at my village, and my master made me learn to use it. He kept saying that these things were the future, but for some reason we still use swords. I guess it's easier?

Holding my breath, I aimed at his chest. I wasn't so sure of hitting his head with that helmet and my shaky hands.

I pulled the trigger, without almost feeling the recoil. I had used this gun for some years... Even when it was bigger than my hand. Mom still doesn't know that I have this.

The unnamed soldiers chest started to get tainted with blood before falling to the ground. What did he saw to lose control?

Wait, did he say something about Night Raid?

Wait, why do I feel like death himself is behind me?

"Not a target." Ah, it wasn't death himself. It was death herself! What a dumb...

"She's that girl form the posters?!" She just ran past me. What did she mean by target? Am I not good enough? Well... I think I prefer it this way.

Before I realized what had happened, a life had been taken. The blond haired girl fell down, in pieces. That was... ungodly fast. Is this the power of Night Raid? She killed her like a it was nothing and yet... why did she do it? Maybe... Maybe she know about all those horrors? Do they want justice too?

S-She's looking at me! Say something!

"I'm... I'm unarmed!" You're holding a pistol! "Eh...! I mean no harm?" As if I could hurt her!

She has a really expressionless face... You're friendly, so she shouldn't do anything, right?

"...Thanks. I guess." Maybe she's deaf. I don't want to know. I don't need to know.

"I'll just..." She started to walk away. If she doesn't say anything I guess I'm good.

I dropped to my knees. I... Well, she did it. She avenged Ieyasu and everyone else! She did justice! That means that-

"Ah! Nea!" I completely forgot! And it's way past the time we agreed to! But Ieyasu's body...

If I bring him... they'll accuse me for all those deaths. I'll come back tomorrow and I'll...

I killed three people. Why don't I feel... Any remorse? No, somebody who did or didn't confessed all those terrible things can't be called people. They were something else... I'm not a murderer.

I looked at the shining moon, and walked towards the place I left my bag. Sorry...


The capital is very creepy at night. I mean, there is light, but it's that eerie atmosphere that makes me feel bad. I guess it's normal. I feel my face covered by tears and blood.

Blood.

Oh no.

My coat is all covered in blood! I need to hide before any guards appear or I'll be in trouble!

"Raise your hands in the air!" Three guards surrounded me. "What the fuck... You are going straight to the pikes!" No! No, no, no!

"I can explain!" A muscular man with a scar where is eye should be appeared in front of me. His only functional eye was black and red, and had a rather unusual hairstyle.

"Oh? Really? What's your excuse kiddo? I don't think that the sauce excuse applies in your situation." He started to smile, like he knew already what the outcome is. He's not going to listen.

"N-Night Raid attacked the house where I stayed at!" Sorry Night Raid, but it's technically the truth.

"I heard that excuse exactly... twelve times. Was it twelve?"

"It was twelve sir."

"And we will go there, find your victims and send you right the death wagon." The soldiers that surrounded me started to laugh.

"If we don't find victims of Murasame, that means you did it. If we find them, then that means you're from Night Raid. Your fate is already decided." What is Murasame...?

"I-I swear! The blood is from my fallen comrades! They told me to flee while they hold them back! I... I swear..." Damn it, Ieyasu... Helping me even from the other side?

"Hm... That's new. But I don't really care. The reward I'll get from executing a member of Night Raid is higher." Is he... Does he only care about the money?! Even if I'm lying... I did it for justice! I'm...

"Justice seeker! I found you at- Captain Ogre!" Who is- It's Justice Girl! She... She will help right?!

"Ah, Seryu! You don't have to address me like that!" The captain answered proudly.

Uh... Hello?

"I can't help it! Oh? Are you trying the color red, Justice Seeker?!" She joked around as she saw me.

Why do you talk to me with such excitement?!

"I... Was trying to find Nea's dad and I got like this." Part truth? I guess at first I was trying.

"Yes, yes. Justice gets a bit messy, right Captain?" What kind of justice is she talking about? Wait, captain?

"So you know each other?" Ogre asked, looking at me with disgust. Seryu didn't notice or just didn't care.

"Affirmative! He's a Justice Seeker! Like myself! So he must be telling the truth as a great Justice See-"

"Stop calling me that." Seriously.

"Oh, sorry. What was your name? Wave?" Come again?

"Tatsumi. And like we're... friends, could I... you know, be free? I mean, Seryu trusts me...?" I hope I pronounced her name correctly.

The soldiers around me didn't really move with this whole scene. This makes me wonder, who is Seryu? To be able to talk like that with a Captain of the Capital guard... But this man is corrupted too or at least it looks like it. Does she know that?

"I'll take care of him! If he does something bad, I'll tell you right away!" At least she looks like a nice person. But Ogre... maybe I can do something.

"Tsk... Fine. Just because you asked so nicely." She didn't ask, she just told you she would do it.

"Alright Justi- Tatsumi, let's go back with Nea!" She pulled me with more strength than I assumed she had. Appearances lie, I guess.

Like that girl with red eyes. You wouldn't think a girl like that would cut a person in half. Maybe Seryu does the same. I've seen too much today. Much more than I can handle.

"Oh, right..." I need to make Ieyasu's and everyone's wish to be true. And for that I'll...

"Captain Ogre, I challenge you for your current position!"

"Uh...?"

What? Did I say something funny? Why is everyone laughing?!


So... Umm... Yeah, this is what happens when you read Spanish literature.

First off, if you're wondering why this is in first person, I tried to make everything seem more natural, and to get better sight of Tatsumi's new ideals.

Second off, yes, it's possible that Sayo is still alive. I repeat, possible. I don't want anyone to jump into conclusions so soon.

I don't know what was going on in my head when I wrote all those... "comedical"? Things. For some reason I felt like it. As I want this to go to a more... mature way, I guess they'll disappear with time.

Before I forgot. Why is this story called Dying Wish? I guess it's pretty obvious since a lot of people die in this... Now I'm sad...

And of course, tell me your thoughts about this if you do a review.

Thanks for reading!
