The city of Kyoroch. We had arrived here yesterday after everyone met up after all of the fights. Luckily no one was killed but Najenda did lose an arm. Well her robotic one so it wasn't that bad. Apparently she was cornered at a cliff by Esdeath and some Teigu user with wings. Luckily Lubbock had been with her and had an idea that saved their lives. He used his Teigu to tie Najenda's robotic arm to a boulder after she had managed to grab Esdeath with her grapple attack. Normally Esdeath could have got away but Lubbock had also placed wires in the palm of the arm so that they would ensnare what they grabbed. So after they pushed the boulder off the cliff it took Esdeath with it and the winged person dove off after her to save her. So yeah besides that everything was just fine and peachy.
"It is strange to be walking around a town without seeing one of our faces on a wanted poster." I stated as I walked through the streets. The following morning the group split up into groups of two so that they could investigate the entire city without being spotted by the enemies.
"I know and I wanted to see my lovely face." Chelsea said as she walked beside me. I found it funny that she said that as there was just no chance that there was a wanted poster of her yet. I then noticed a unusual vendor that sold a product that I have had very few times but each one I still remembered fondly. "Tatsumi what are you doing?" She asked as she watched me walk up to the vendor.
"Getting us a treat." I said calmly as I paid the owner before making my way back to her. "Here." I said as I offered the delicious treat to her. "I'm hungry and I saw this and I wanted some. Besides this will make us look more natural."
"What kind of lady would I be if I refused a mans generous gift?" She said as she took the cone from me. She licked the ice cream once and immediately a look of pleasure crossed her face. "This is amazing!"
"Right?" I agreed. "It's not a flavor you could find back in the Capital, right?"
"Well we should map out the town more." She said as she finished devouring the sweet treat.
"Eh I got a good feeling of the town. Well at least one good enough to know where to go." I said as I finished my treat as well. "So let's head back and get some food I'm hungry." I said as I eyed the lollipop she was unwrapping.
"Not happening." Great I didn't even have to ask to be shutdown.
Later that night.
"According to our data, there should be an underground passageway passing beneath this graveyard which leads from the church to Borick's mansion." One of the members of the Revolutionary Army's spy team informed me. Akame and Kurome were in a nearby tree perched on separate branches, surveying the area but I could hear the faint sound of cookies being crunched "We think it may be good to station a few men here while carrying out the assassination."
"If we could find out the location of the passageway's entrance we could go to the basement of Borick's mansion that way." I stated.
Before any more words could be spoken a sudden rain of feathers flew through the sky, a clear indication that the enemy was here and attacking. I managed to dodge the attack but the spies were not as lucky as they were cut down by the barrage of feathers.
"Not bad. That was a well executed evasion." A voice from above spoke and we looked up to see a winged being descending from the sky. "Reconnaissance from the skies certainly shows you how capable your enemy is." As a response, I drew Toripuru from its sheath.
"So lemme guess you're one of Esdeath's lackeys or something?" I asked.
"I am Run. It is a pleasure to meet you." He said as he introduced himself with a mock bow.
So that Teigu gives him wings I thought patiently. Hopefully he doesn't know about Akame and Kurome. Maybe they could get the jump on him? Probably not he was way to high in the air and the only chance of attacking him right now would be with Curse.
"Well I was told not to engage so I must say farewell." With those words he vanished leaving me here to wonder just what the purpose of his appearance was. I didn't have to wait long as a black haired woman with clothes that nearly showed her upper cleavage appeared. I didn't even have time to wonder how she even got here before she somehow made her fingernails grow to a length long enough to rival that of a blades. She launch an attack at my face but I managed to block them.
"Not bad kid." She said as she licked her fingers. "But don't play just defense I need you to attack me seriously..." She suddenly blushed at a sudden thought. "In order to experience the ultimate pleasure." Alright I have fought many things before but never have I fought a masochist. I frowned slightly before suddenly dodging to the left as something grazed my cheek. I looked to see that it was one of her long-ass fingernail and there was a splash of blood on it from where it slashed my cheek. Dang I was too careless I need to be more careful.
"Come on is that all you got?." She taunted me as she retracted her nail and licked my blood off of it. "The taste of blood has always excited me. Give me more!" I then noticed a sound or should I say the lack of a sound. There was no signal that cookies were being eaten so that must mean that the girls were ready to fight. But why haven't they revealed themselves yet? Unless they want me to lead this crazy person into a trap. I chanced a glance at the tree where the two were perched and saw the tip of a blade peeking through the leaves. Perfect they were waiting for me.
"This isn't the time to be looking away, little girl." My opponent said as she attacked me with her nails again.
"You can't catch me with that lame attack!" I taunted, weaving in and out as the nails ripped through empty air. "I mean really who fights with their nails!? That is just so stupid. I mean think about it nails are weak and are broken easy!" I said as I began running towards the tree. Of course I knew her nails were not normal and were sharper and more durable than normal but this was just a act to make her mad.
"You little brat. Don't think you can get away from me!" She scream as she followed me bent of killing me. Good she's following me. I thought even though I could feel her aura breathing down my back. Of course I definitely pushed her buttons a little too far. I rushed under the tree and stopped with my back to the bark. My follower stopped just a few feet away from me "Ready to die you brat!?" She asked as she readied her nails to strike. But before she could even move a inch two shadows fell from the tree and cut her down.
"Took you long enough." Kurome said as she flicked the blood off her sword.
"Says the person who was watching the whole time." I said as I looked at the corpse.
"We had to finish eating." Akame said as she pouted a little. "We are growing girls and we need our food." I couldn't help but think that they ate enough to feed a army. If that didn't give them enough energy I feared the amount of food that would.
"Did you see where she came from?" I asked wondering how she even managed to sneak up on me. They both pointed to a gravestone that had a hole in front of it. Was she seriously foolish enough to just expose a secret entrance to us? Before I could even think of what other motives she could have had I heard two sounds that made me question life. I looked at the sources of the sounds to see both of the girls blushing heavily.
"How are you still hungry!?"
