Next chapter, I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 11: Trading goods and suspicions.
Meeting room.
It seemed that the Gin and Natala were recognized as the stronger of the group of terror so they were moved to the Elite 8 and Guy and Balluck stayed behind from reports that Guy was reckless and Balluck didn't pay any attention to her surroundings and that would have resulted in their deaths, Kurome got some money and books she wanted for taking care of them, Akame, Green, Tsukushi and Cornelia got some money, Najasho got some books to he wanted to read and Tatsuya received a lot of money, a very advanced toolkit, and some books.
"The revolutionary army's primary funding for the rebellious faction comes from black market trade with other countries," explained Gozuki the next mission to them, lucky for Tatsuya he hasn't noticed the training he gave them. "They trade primarily in salt, with tea coming in close second and sea danger beast meat or small seashells and such, we need to pinpoint their direction and derail it."
"I'd also like to take out their saltworks."
"Despite the number of spies we've sent in, they still haven't come up with any leads?" pointed Green out.
"That is troublesome," muttered Najasho a bit irritated, Poney who sat next to him laid her hand on his making him calm down a bit. "We're dealing with a very capable enemy here, Green, but they did isolate a suspicious location," said Gozuki with a frown.
"Is it the Oreburg?" asked Cornelia, making Gozuki nod his head and Najasho, Kurome and Green shuddered a bit when they recalled the fight with the scary old lady that was able to hold her own with ease and with them using their Shingu!
"I don't know if it is them, but I do have a suspicion after their defeat and loss of 2 members of their group," replied Gozuki.
Kurome got interested in the place he was talking about and since she was the info gather and planner she needed to hear this one, Tatsuya never expected her to be the studious type if she made the Elite 8 and saw the huge difference when she was in the group of terror except for the addiction to sweets.
Gozuki paid no attention to them and explained further about the markets. "The town of Sweun in the southeast region of the empire, we've lost contact with several of our spies here." Gozuki pointed at the location of the map where the spies were. "So that's where we're going!"
"Also we might be receiving a new addition to the team," added Gozuki making Tatsuya's eyes narrow, he already expected the timeline not to go as it would since he saved Cornelia, Taeko, Guy, Balluck, and Najasho. "Her name is Remus, she was first not so strong but due to us or specifically Kurome she has beaten all the others without a shingu."
Everyone was impressed while Tatsuya was shocked how much Remus changed and how much potential she got. "I messed up! Even the smallest changes can change the future that big!" and to add to that he saved lives and that wasn't a small change, it was a huge change.
"Tatsuya and Kurome, you 2 will be training her as her mentors since she also likes to study and has much potential," ordered Gozuki and with that, he closed the meeting about the mission and potential recruit.
The water capital of Sweun.
This city is situated where a major of river and tributary converge and has developed as a hub of commerce since olden times. Joyo has its fertile plains, Kyoroku has its strong religious roots, so to has Sweun always been special, its population lively and thriving even during the empire's dark ages.
"This is a really bustling town," commented Tsukushi happily as always with Poney walking next to her, while Kurome and Akame were eating some buns they bought on the way. "I've always wanted to check out, I'm happy it's such a drastic change of view since the tombs," said Green who looked around him in amazement.
"I agree with you, this is a nice change from the tombs, it was really uncomfortable there," added Cornelia who was excited too, to see other places she hasn't been able to visit due to training, she also noticed the grim looks on the peoples faces and their clothes, Green couldn't see anything very sharp without his glasses but noticed how Cornelia felt and Akame and Kurome were more focused on their buns.
"Who are you?" asked Poney to Green who got mad.
"I'M GREEN! HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THAT JOKES?!"
Najasho bopped Poney softly on the head and told her to stop joking, Poney pouted but did it as she was told to by her boyfriend.
"Well you look way more different when you don't have your glasses on, it would be perfect for disguise." pointed/commented Akame, Green sighed at that. "How can this be a 'disguise' if I only removed my glasses?"
"Isn't it perfect as it is?"
"I think its perfect."
"It is a big change."
"Ugh! Okay, okay." groaned Green who still didn't understand what looked so different about him.
"Were here," spoke Gozuki out of their conversation, they entered the building. "You guys are going to work here at the Suekuni trade firm, it is actually a shop run by our spies."
"First we sniff out the enemy, form groups of 3 to work the shop while keeping an eye on the surrounding area." the group nodded and went to think who would be paired with who.
"I wonder who I will pair up with!" said Poney happily making Najasho chuckle a bit and allowed himself to show a small smile on his face.
Gozuki came from behind Poney and grabbed her by the head. "You will be teaming up with Najasho to keep you at bay." Poney was a bit scared at the tone Gozuki made as it was the one that said he was not going to let her team up with someone to annoy, but on the other part, she was happy that she got to team up with her boyfriend. Same could be said for the blonde who allowed himself to smile a bit.
Green took this as a chance to score Akame and turned around to see if she wanted to team up with him, but Gozuki interrupted him. "The next team is made out of Akame, Kurome, Tatsuya, Cornelia, and Tsukushi. Tatsuya and Cornelia will lead the team."
"Next team is made off Gin, Green, Natala, Najasho, and Poney. Najasho will lead the team." Najasho nodded, Gozuki chose him because he could see in the beginning that Najasho carried that leadership charisma, the others didn't have that even Tatsuya didn't match his leadership, Poney just no, Tsukushi was too soft so was Natala, Gin had a short temper, Cornelia didn't have the knowledge of becoming a leader, Kurome and Akame were more useful for support and main attacks and Green was always nervous when too many eyes landed on him.
But they also had good points.
Tatsuya was a powerhouse and was a good frontline attacker and he had a bunch of other useful skills.
Cornelia was someone who keeps a calm head and always manages to surprise the enemy.
Akame was very good at predicting attacks and not easy to impress or surprise and could act well.
Najasho was a good leader and strategist and knew the chances of victory.
Poney was someone who could learn any martial arts in short time and one to mimic attacks.
Tsukushi was good for spying missions, her looks made her look innocent which was perfect to blend in the people.
Kurome was smart and always knew how to organize things and knew how to solve puzzles and traps.
He didn't get a good study on Natala and Gin, but he had more than enough time to do, with the increasing of training it would help a lot and these 2 would become powerhouses. But Gozuki was not much interested in the others since his eyes were more focused on Tatsuya like he was holding back and held more power than he showed in his battles or training, he was very good at hiding his aura and in the beginning he was already very suspicious, he was very good at hunting for his age and said that his village was destroyed when he was a bit younger, of course, villages teach their children how to hunt but that was where the question comes.
He was probably not the age that he was getting trained to hunt but merely tracking, so he must have met someone before he was found and sold to the empire, either that or he was very smart for his age and talented at the same time.
"I will keep an eye out for you, Tatsuya, it won't be easy but I like a challenge sometimes." thought Gozuki with a smile. Green who wanted to pair up with Akame was disappointed that he didn't even get the chance how to ask Akame to be on a team. But he saw that his chance with Akame was becoming smaller as he has seen how she looked at Tatsuya and he didn't have much chance against him, he was handsome in the girl's opinion, he could cook and do the chores, had a personality that most girls would be dreaming of and yet become that cool type when danger comes, he understood girl's feelings and was a calm person that wasn't easy to anger.
Green sighed at this and muttered to himself if he ever got a chance with Akame and he had only eyes for her so he wondered if he ever got to meet a girl that catches his eyes, and he knew he had a small chance but he would take it and if she refused then he would accept it.
Tatsuya noticed this and recalled in Akame's memory that Green confessed to her and she refused since Green was just to her a comrade rather than a love interest and she was also a bit weirded out when he said that it was about her armpits. Oh well, everyone had their own fetishes. Suddenly Akame and Gin stood in front of each other and everyone felt the friendly tension.
"Why don't we make this a competition to see which team makes the most sales," said Gin with a smile.
"Fine by me, it's only natural to work a business with that kind of passion," replied Akame with a smile of her own.
"Don't forget your mission, I'm counting on your natural instincts," said Gozuki who made no move to stop that competition seeing that it wouldn't work at all to stop it, but he didn't see any harm in it since it was just a friendly competition. "I don't want them to expose to the real world, but if I kept it to that then I wouldn't be able to use them at all, guess I'll just have to prepare for the worst."
Akame's team.
Akame's team was working hard in hunting and gathering in the marshes of Sweun, with the tracking skills they've learned from training in their whole life in Tatsumi's case learned from the future Akame.
"This should be the marsh where we can catch the Roman crabs," said Tsukushi who found the place beautiful. "I hope we will catch many so we can get a good price!" said Kurome happily as if it was a family trip.
"Kurome, what do you know about the layer of this part of the land?" asked Cornelia knowing that there was danger beast but not sure of it so asked Kurome who was the smartest of the group and was interested in Geography.
"Well in the river do live danger beasts that love the taste of crab that is described by the people as heavenly, that's why the prize for the crab is so high since it's taste and meat are so heavenly and yet they are very hard to catch due to the danger beast," answered Kurome placing her finger under her chin and if on cue a bull-like danger beast appeared out of the water roaring at them, but before it could attack them Silver slammed on it's back and bit it through the neck and another 2 appeared and Akame, Kurome, and Cornelia took them down while Tatsuya and Tsukushi stood there calmly.
"W-Wow! I didn't have the chance to do anything yet!" said Tsukushi amazed at the teamwork Akame, Kurome and Cornelia showed. "Uh-huh, when it comes to teamwork the sisters are the best in it," added Tatsuya his thought and was also amazed how better they worked when they fought together.
After they caught some of the crabs it was already dark and the killed danger beasts were getting roasted above a giant fire, Silver did himself good with the danger beast meat enjoying it to the fullest with Owltrix picking her own flesh also enjoying it.
"So this is a Roman crab! I wonder if it is true about the heavenly taste," said Akame restraining herself from eating it too fast since she wanted to enjoy the flavor. "We can only figure it out by eating it, Tatsuya didn't cook this so we can stare at it," said Cornelia.
The girls all took a spoonful and took a bite, and the stars appeared in their eyes signaling it was true about the heavenly taste.
"The miso...it's the perfect sticky consistency to spread the flavor across the tongue!" began Akame.
"The eggs are so dense and rich!" added Tsukushi enjoying the crab with a cute smile.
"And the milt is so fatty and has a great texture, and since the males and females have different tastes there is no getting bored with it!" finished Kurome while Cornelia didn't say anything and took another spoonful, Tatsuya was eating his own portion and really enjoyed it and began preparing the male crabs for them to taste.
"Does that mean we get to try out all the tasty things of the region?!" said Akame and Kurome at the same time. "You know this isn't a gourmet tour?" said Tsukushi with a sweatdrop and before the sisters could reach the crabs Cornelia bopped them both on the head.
"Ow!"
"Ouch!"
"Don't you think about it! The last time you ate everything and we got scolded for it and if it wasn't for Tatsuya having caught more then needed then we would get smacked! And you also made us miss him making dinner since he caught more so we could eat them! Even daddy was sulking!" said Cornelia with a stern tone making the sisters pout a bit but they did regret doing that since Tatsuya wanted to go all out and the other members of the team were not happy with it, and who could have thought that Gozuki could sulk?
"Sorry, Cora-nee." apologized Akame and Kurome with plaster marks on their head, making it seen that they were bopped on the head. "Ma, don't worry about it, they are still growing so they need to eat well, here is the next serving," said Tatsuya who was not sad at all that he wasn't going to be able to cook that day and was more sad about that the team and Gozuki wouldn't be able to eat his meals. He served the girls the male crabs and they began eating while Silver took another roasted danger beast.
"I wonder how it will go by Chief's team?" wondered Tsukushi.
Najasho's team.
Najasho's team took the path where the river began and visited a village thereabouts, they were going to trade other resources then food.
"Heh-heh-heh, we got tons of things to trade, it was worth traveling so far for them!" said Gin sitting on the wagon while Natala and Najasho sat on the horses. "Textiles are this regions specialty, so they'll sell for a good price," informed Green while Gin was surprised that ceramics would fetch such a good prize.
"Just look out, okay, these ceramics are very fragile and they're nothing worth if they're broken," said Najasho with a stern tone not thinking of becoming soft. "Yeah, Gin and I are new to this so that's why we have you here as the leader," said Natala not bothered by the stern tone of Najasho.
"Don't sweat it, we are also new to this, there is just a small difference between us, we just take way more dangerous missions," said Poney making the 2 new members at bit at ease. "Najasho is chosen for this since he has the skills of a leader," added Poney making Najasho blush and was thankful that he sat on the horse so he was not facing them, he was not used at blushing or getting embarrassed.
"We have arrived," said Natala snapping Najasho out of his thoughts and looked ahead to see the village. "The sun is getting lower so we should stay here and leave tomorrow."
"No arguments here," said Green happily.
Poney had some thought and had an idea to make sure that Najasho would be more daring rather than stern and serious, he needed to get some relaxation for a time since being stern and serious makes you a bit tired.
Gin had the same thought about Natala and was also planning to do something with him, she always thought him of being a bit too mild, but he was the first one to introduce himself to her and not being bothered by her rude comments, on the other side he was cute in her opinion and was the first one to reply calmly back to her since most people would get mad or shout back at her rudeness.
"I will mark you as mine, Natala/Najasho." voiced the thought of Gin and Poney. Natal and Najasho felt that something was going to happen soon to them and their thoughts said that they were going to enjoy it to the fullest and probably become tired.
Hot springs.
"Phew!" sighed Natala as he welcomed the warmth of the water, the training of Tatsuya was rough but it paid off and made him and Gin stronger, however, his thought went back to Tatsuya's talk with him. His words sounded out like this: Sometimes it's best not getting embarrassed since it will hurt the person and you will regret it later.
He asked what he meant by that but all that Tatsuya said was that he would understand it in time and before he could ask further he already ran away after Cornelia and Akame for a reason and left him more confused than ever.
"What does he mean? Better not getting embarrassed or you will hurt the person," muttered Natala to himself not aware that the words stuck in his head this time. He heard the door open meaning that someone was coming in. "Green, Najasho? That you, come in the water is great!"
But when Natala opened his eyes he didn't see Green or Najasho but Gin instead! Gin was covering herself up with a towel that hid her breast and sex and was blushing madly and looked to the side.
"G-Gin! You do realize that this is the men side!?" said Natala not wanting to shout to alarm the others, Gin didn't answer him and entered the water. "I know that Natala," replied Gin.
"B-But why are you here if you know?!" asked Natala looking to the side. "I don't see why not? There isn't anyone in here and Green, Poney, and Najasho are asleep like bears," answered Gin still blushing although it was a bit less bright.
"I wanted to talk with you, about some things that made me realize something." continued Gin while Natala stopped blushing and listened close while Tatsuya's words ringing his ears. "When I was chained up with you guys that squid guy was about to rape us and all I could do was look in fear while he could have his way with me." this part made Natala mad that that Jamo-guy wanted to do that to Gin and he could still remember how hard he punched him in the balls and face for that and that was also a time he showed his angry face.
"I was pathetic, so I decided to choose to learn how you guys would work out that way I can stay calm when I'm captured or how I will counterattack." Natala understood this since they never had a mission like that. "I don't want to lose my virginity to a random scumbag who is about to rape me so..." Gin stood up and revealed her naked body to Natala who was blushing madly. "Of all the boys I met I-I l-like you the most, Natala," confessed Gin.
Natala was on the verge of passing out, but then Tatsuya's words came back to him, now he understood! Tatsuya knew all along that Gin was in love with him and figured out that she would do something like that, all those stares that she gave him were hints saying she was interested in him, gathering all of his consciousness and stood up too.
"I actually like you too, Gin, but I thought that you weren't interested in someone mild-mannered like me," confessed Natala to Gin who's heart skyrocketed when she heard that he liked her too and also wasn't sure if she liked him.
Lemon scene.
"S-So, will you do it with m-me?" asked Gin, a bit unsure if she was pushing it, Natala grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her towards him and kissed her making Gin widen her eyes and quickly closed them as she melted into the kiss. Natala let go of her shoulders and let his hands glide down to her chest and began kneading her breasts making Gin moan in the kiss which Natala took advantage off and quickly pushed his tongue into her mouth.
Gin not wanting to be outdone by Natala let her hands glide down to his cock and began jerking him off making him groan in pleasure, they broke off the kiss panting for air and Natala then took one of Gin's breast in his mouth and began sucking them surprising Gin that he was that daring.
"N-Natala~ D-Don't suck o-on them t-too h-hard~" moaned Gin out as she felt Natala sucking them a bit too hard and yet she enjoyed it and held his head down into her chest not wanting him to stop his assault. "Ah~!" moaned Gin.
Her moans were like music to Natala's ears and thanked Tatsuya for the words, and let go of Gin's breast and began sucking her neck and lowered them both into the water while at the same time allowing Gin to catch her breath a little while Natala still sucking her neck, Gin raised her hips a bit above Natala's cock which was hard due to her jerking him off and slammed her hips hard down.
When she did this they both gasped with Natal stopping his work at her neck at the feeling they never felt in their life as assassins, Gin felt how big Natala was inside her and how good it felt and Natala couldn't believe how warm, wet and tight her pussy was and the pleasure increased when she began slowly rocking her hips, her chest smashed against his and both moaning, Gin fastened her pace on him while moaning loudly and that became harder when Natala grabbed her ass and began squeezing it and began moving too.
N-NATALA! PLEASE K-KEEP GOING!' shouted Gin not caring if anyone heard them, Natala did as she said and fastened his pace to match hers and they were moving like crazy.
"Y-YOUR SO FUCKING TIGHT!" shouted Natala also not caring if anyone heard them. "GIN! I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED!" Gin could barely hear him as she was too busy with moaning with her eyes rolled back and her tongue slightly sticking out.
"AH~! AH~! AH~!" the water splashed around the 2.
*SMACK!*
Gin squeaked a bit when she felt Natal smacking her ass hard. "YES! NATALA! SPANK ME!" shouted Gin lustfully.
"YOU KNOW I WILL GIN!" shouted Natala while smacking her ass hard. This continued for a while until Natala felt that Gin's pussy suddenly began to tighten signaling that she was nearing her limit. "GIN! IM GONNA GUM!"
He wanted to pull out but Gin locker her legs around his waist and before he could say anything further she locked her lips around his, Natala couldn't hold it anymore and the same was for Gin and they both released at the same time and broke the kiss.
"GIN!"
"NATALA!"
Natala filled Gin's womb with his sperm to the brim and Gin could barely hold on to him and moaned how it felt entering her womb, lucky for her it was a safe day so they were good. "I-I can feel i-it, s-so hot~" muttered Gin before she collapsed against Natala's chest feeling tired that one session could make them that tired though they did use drugs as powerups so it was not that surprising.
Lemon scene end.
"So are we dating now?" asked Gin who knew that having sex was different than being in a relationship. "Of course we are, it will be hard but we will manage," said Natala with a slight blush when he remembered how he was so in it and never thought that he would be smacking Gin's ass in their session.
"You're not so mild-mannered as you claim to be~" teased Gin who actually liked how Natala didn't hold back in their session and how rough and wild he was. "And I never thought you would make such cute sounds~" teased Natala back not bothered by it.
"So are you ready for a 2nd round~," asked Gin with a sexy voice and wiggled her hips on his waist for extra measure, Natala replied by entering her again and so began round 2, while both where unaware of someone seeing them do it.
Green ran was running as fast as he could to his room blushing madly at the scene he just witnessed, he quickly drank some tea with a pill that would calm him down. "I wanted to join Natala, but I never thought he had it in him to do it!" said Green in an amazed tone that a mild-mannered boy like Natala would talk and act like that when he was having sex, guess he underestimated him. "I need some sleep, I shower tomorrow." Green entered his bed and slept quickly.
However, Natala and Gin weren't the only ones that were having some private time but luckily for him, their room was a bit far ahead than his room, and those people were Najasho and Poney.
Najasho's room.
At the same time that Gin and Natala were going, to begin with, having sex Poney advanced towards Najasho's room where Najasho was surprisingly not asleep since he thought back about the tombs if it wasn't for Silver he would've been dead and he was also worried about his relationship with Poney how he should advance further since he had no experience in relationships and he was never been one too. And he also wondered how Poney fell for him since the only thing he did was insulting her without mercy.
"I feel such like an asshole," muttered Najasho angry at himself for not being able to recognize Poney's affection for him and only to discover it when they were in a near-death situation. When she said that she loved him no matter what he felt scared about losing her and relationships in teams were a big problem since it caused you being over-worried about the person you love and that was also hindering the mission.
"Najasho?" came a voice from his door, Najasho snapped out of his thoughts and opened his door and standing there was Poney with a serious yet sad look. "I want to talk something with you," said Poney with a serious tone, Najasho blinked and stepped aside allowing her to come in his room once she entered he closed the door and locked it.
"What do you want to talk about, Poney?" asked Najasho with a curious look, Poney bit her lip and quickly kissed Najasho and pushed him down on his bed surprising him, but he welcomed the kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist, Poney broke the kiss and looked at him in the eyes.
"Najasho, I know the risks of having a relationship in a group are dangerous and the chance of getting us killed become even bigger." began Poney placing her head on his chest while Najasho listened. "In the tombs, I knew that it would be my last chance to say that I love you and possibly never see you again if it wasn't for Silver, but now the chance of me going to die so I want to die without regrets."
This made him confused what she meant by dying without regrets and then widened his eyes when he understood what Poney meant by that! She wanted to have intercourse with him before she would truly regret it, part of him wanted to refuse to say that it was too early and the other part said that if he didn't that she would be hurt and die with regrets and that was something he could never forgive himself.
"S-So I w-want to d-do it with y-you-!" before she could finish her sentence Najasho captured her lips in a fierce kiss but he also grabbed her ass and began kneading it, Poney who never expected that Najasho would accept and probably would say it was too soon was shocked, when he was kneading her ass she felt so happy that he didn't refuse and moaned when she felt how good he was kneading her ass.
Another lemon scene.
Poney broke the kiss and quickly unbuttoned Najasho's uniform and licked her lips when she saw his muscular chest, his muscles were more ripped off and showed power and strength, Najasho was still squeezing her ass and slowly lowered Yocto-bottoms, Poney didn't have a big chest like Cornelia or Tsukushi but she did have nice longs legs and a nice ass, Poney who noticed this helped out and threw Yocto-bottoms to the side and then began to loosen Najasho's belt.
Najasho blushed when Poney did this and before he could say anything Poney lowered his underwear and immediately began sucking his cock making him groan in pleasure, it was amazing! He never knew that it would feel this good having preferred training then to act on his hormones and he never jerked off once. "P-Poney~ That f-feels so-!" but the pleasure increased when Poney began sucking it harder not allowing Najasho to finish.
"P-Poney! I-I'm going to c-cum!" said Najasho with gritted teeth not wanting to attract attention, Poney began sucking even harder when she heard that he was going to cum and bopped her head fast. "C-Cumming!" and with that Najasho blew his load into Poney's mouth, Poney was a bit shocked at the amount he came and began swallowing it.
Poney let go of Najasho's cock with a 'pop' sound and was blushing a bit while smiling a bit naughty at him, Najasho who was panting from their session had it warm and quickly discarded all of his clothing and Poney began removing her tank top but covered her chest.
"I-I don't have b-big breasts like Cora-nee or Tsukushi, but I-I hope I'm good enough for you~," said Poney in an embarrassed and shy tone, she raised her hips above Najasho's erect penis and slammed them hard down.
"AH~!" moaned Poney out loud.
"D-Damn!" Najasho was amazed how tight Poney was and yet she was so warm and wet and it was getting better when she began rocking her hips and was riding him like a cowgirl, he imagined Poney in a cowgirl outfit and blushed at the hot picture. Poney increased her speed with Najasho doing the same and began bucking his hips to match Poney's movements, Najasho quickly grabbed Poney by the shoulders and turned their position and this time he was on top of her and kissed her while not slowing down.
"Mmhm~!" Poney moaned into the kiss and locked her legs around his waist and wrapped her arms around his neck, both of them broke the kiss panting for air yet not stopping their movements in the slightest and not losing a bit of their current speed. "P-Poney~ I-I'm going to c-cum~!"
"THEN CUM YOU CUTE BOY~!" shouted Poney and with that she cums at the same time as Najasho. "AH~! YES NAJASHO!"
"PONEY!" shouted Najasho while filling Poney with his sperm. "AH~!" sighed Poney letting go of Najasho who fell down on her catching his breath, he was tired and Poney just seemed not as tired as him well she was the girl with the most stamina.
"Thank you, Najasho." smiled Poney while stroking his cheek lovingly.
Lemon scene end.
"T-That was amazing," muttered Najasho tired but regained most of his strength back after a few minutes as his Shingu also did the same after the effects wore out. Poney just smiled and then got a devious smirk. "Oh~ We're far from done, Najasho~" whispered Poney into his ear which got him excited again.
Lucky for Green he didn't hear them but still felt in his sleep that something happened again and that he didn't want to see it.
A few days later.
The girls and Tatsuya arrived at a shop where they could buy oil, and lucky for them they made a very good sell thanks to Cornelia who prevented the gluttonous girls from eating the crab, Silver couldn't go with them unfortunately and was ordered to stay back in the forest.
"Hello, we are from the Suekuni trade firm, and we've come to buy some oil," said Tsukushi to a man who had his back turned to them. "Uh-huh, oil is in high demands these days, so it'll be expen-SIVE!" the man turned around to see Kurome and Tsukushi all looking innocent.
"We'd be ever so grateful if you gave us a discount," said Tsukushi with a cute expression. "Yeah agreed Kurome also making a cute face.
"How can I say no! But just a little you scamps!" said the man cheerfully and led them to the back of the shop. Meanwhile, Akame was patrolling the city and when a man passed her by he attracted her attention once she saw the look in his eyes.
"That man just now, he doesn't have the gait of a merchant." were Akame's thoughts before she left to meet the rest at the Rendez-vous point to meet up with Najasho's team who came a bit earlier back.
City of Sweun, the Suekuni trade firm.
"So you made a competition, and seeing the results of both teams, it ends in a tie between you 2.," said Gozuki reading the papers with the amount of money that was earned through the trade. Both groups shrugged that the match ended up in a tie not caring if they won or lost since they gained things that were more important then money or a competition.
Gin and Poney were able to confess their love to the boys they liked and got to share an experience they would never forget and that was for the same to Natala and Najasho who also got to say that they love the girls they liked, it would be hard but it was worth it and they would pull it together. Akame, Kurome, Tsukushi, Cornelia, and Tatsuya had a nice experience of having the feeling of camping between friends even if it was on a mission, it was something they would treasure for life.
"Good work, Gin, but you don't seem to be disappointed at all?" said Akame who saw that Gin didn't care about it, Gin allowed herself to smile and replied back. "That's because I got something way better than a win in a competition." Akame looked confused but then understood her and smiled back. "I see, congratulations you 2, you and Natala make a cute couple."
Gin smiled but then looked confused and shocked how Akame knew what she meant and that it was Natala! "How did you know-!" before she could finish her sentence Akame was pointing at Tatsuya. "You already did it?" whispered Gin surprised.
Akame nodded happily and turned to Gozuki. "The competition did end up in a draw but I also got some important information," said Akame in her serious mode. "I've detected a suspicious merchant."
"Nice, I'll look right away and you guys keep working," said Gozuki and left them to do his work, both teams returned to their room without switching.
Rooms.
The girls went to one room and wanted to talk with the boys respecting it and going to their own respective rooms while the girls had their girl talk and even if they loved their boyfriends they wouldn't easily forgive them and luckily none of them are dumb enough to do such thing. "So how did it go with you and Natala?" asked Cornelia making Gin blush how she knew that and in embarrassment.
"H-How did you know we had sex?!" demanded Gin while still blushing.
"Did I say you 2 had sex?" asked Cornelia with a surprised expression making Gin blush again that she betrayed herself, Cornelia just wanted to ask if they learned anything since they were new to in the group. "I didn't expect you to have sex that soon, but congratulations," said Cornelia with a smile.
Tsukushi was blushing and covered Kurome's ears when she felt that it was going into that area.
Kurome looked confused because she didn't hear anything since her ears got covered before she did.
Akame smiled and gave the thumbs up.
Poney grinned and also gave her thumbs up.
"Then we both got ourselves a claimed boyfriend!" said Poney while slinging her shoulder over GIn who looked surprised that she and Najasho did it. "Where did you guys do it?" asked Poney with interest while Kurome wanted to listen but got knocked out by Tsukushi.
"The hot springs," answered Gin while thinking back how many times they went and she now knew what cloud 9 was.
"Nice! I did it with Najasho in his room," added Poney where she did it with her boyfriend. Cornelia smiled since she had her first time doing it in the hot springs too, Akame could relate to Poney as she did it in a room too. Tsukushi felt a bit left out and was going to ask Akame and Cornelia for permission.
"Although I need to talk with Green," said Akame suddenly making all the girls focus on her even Kurome who woke up. "Green has still a crush on me and doesn't know my relationship with Cora-nee and Tatsuya, so I plan on telling him I don't see him as love and just as a good friend."
"He's going to be disappointed but he will be happy for you," commented Kurome.
"Don't worry, he will find a girl for himself soon," said Cornelia.
Unknown that Green heard them and began to run away into the city, of course, she was more interested in Tatsuya and wanted to be in a relationship since he was the one who didn't comment on her appetite and allowed her little sister to be on the elite 8. "Of course I had little chance, but I'm happy she wanted to tell me," said Green sunk into his thoughts not noticing he was walking straight to a girl who did the same as him.
"Ow!"
"Kyaa!"
Green groaned a bit in pain, but when he opened his eyes he saw pink panties? The girl Womyn also opened her eyes and was staring at black pants? Lucky for them it was in a secured area because their position was a 69 position. Womyn touched the pants and Green accidentally blew against the pink panties.
Green groaned at the same time as Womyn moaned and then they noticed that they were on each other.
"..."
"..."
"...AHHHH!" both of them screamed and quickly got of each other.
"I'm so sorry!" said both of them simultaneously while bowing and when they looked at each other they blushed, Green was blushing on how pretty she looked and Womyn thought he was quite handsome.
"Uhm! I'm G-Green." introduced Gren himself wanting to ease the mood and hide his blush.
"M-My name is W-Womyn." introduced Womyn herself to Green unknowingly both of them were falling in love at first sight.
Suekuni office.
"Alright everyone, it seems that Akame was right about the man she suspected, he gave me the location where the saltworks are." this was valuable information since they needed to deal with the Oarburgs and it would be a nasty surprise for them when they got the taste of aura.
"Great work big sis!" shouted Kurome while hugging her.
"It was nothing," replied Akame with a smile.
"So where is the location of the saltworks?" asked Gin curiously with Natala a bit worried about the place and he had a bad feeling about what the place could be.
Gozuki trembled a bit which didn't go unnoticed by the assassins, he folded his hands underneath his chin and answered them. "Gappi-marsh of all places."
"WHAT!" shouted everyone shocked about the location. "That incredibly dangerous place where the most powerful danger beasts live and reside!?" shouted Green a bit pale when he heard about the place, he just met Womyn and it went well with their talking and even agreed on meeting again. Gozuki knew that they would be shocked and he needed Tatsuya for this.
"I heard that Gappi-marsh was the harshest place in the region," said Cornelia with amazement in her voice.
"That makes a perfect hideout," commented Natala while sweating a bit since he heard stories about the place.
"I've been near Gappi once, and let me tell you that place is a little too dangerous for a hideout," said Gozuki while shuddering a bit when he remembered the Titanic and monstrous looking danger beasts there, even the smallest animals where the sizes of dinosaurs.
Tatsuya felt that he was going to be sent there so maybe he could prevent Akame getting kidnapped by Merraid since she knew of the true nature of the empire with the exception of Natala and Gin who were not completely convinced so he needed to plan this out.
"Since it is saltworks there must be several labors to make gather enough salt, I'm impressed how long they've could protect their selves from the danger-beasts," said Green who was not surprised but actually shocked since the saltworks existed quite a time and yet they held it in such a dangerous place.
"Or they have been avoiding fights with the danger-beasts, that is also an option since the danger-beasts there have excellent smell, sight, hear and sense, they can track humans from a long distance and attack in masses and fight for the bodies. Tatsuya, I want you to go there and take Silver and Owltrix with you and I want you to scout out and possibly tame sone danger-beasts and kill them if they take too long."
Tatsuya expected to kill but not taming, he was lucky that he found Silver wounded since his species are very hard to convince and now Gappi! This was going to suck but it also had good parts to it since he could gather more materials and maybe get some more danger-beasts and Silver could take them on since he received training and his abilities could help him a lot.
"I-I accept the mission," said Tatsuya with a small stutter while his face remained stoic, Gozuki noticed this and knew that even Tatsuya was not sure of himself and knew that even with Tatsuya's skill he would even have a hard time despite the strongest one of the elite 10 here. "I will succeed the mission, and I will return alive!" Gozuki nodded and sent him away while Cornelia and Akame wanted to go after him but they couldn't afford their relationship exposed to Gozuki so they did nothing but that doesn't mean they couldn't get worried about him.
Gappi-marsh.
Normally you expected that it was filled with danger-beasts and a lot of fights would be going on but that was not a single fight or danger-beast near the open place and instead, there was a beautiful open field with some flowers and healthy green grass, but if you looked ahead you could see enormous carcasses of danger-beasts of all types with no spec of flesh on them.
"They've probably sniffed this place out, said a young woman wearing a revealing dark purple dress with chessboard markings, wearing some golden arm bracelets and a dark purple umbrella, she also had a mischievous smile on her face, but a trained person knew that it held killer intent, most men would right out try to take her but if it wasn't for the pile of bones she was sitting in the middle of it.
"Oh well, I've run out of sparring partners and I was getting bored anyway," said Merra. A maid came to her to announce that dinner was ready.
"Madam Mera, dinner is ready." said the maid lovingly.
"Coming," replied Mera standing up from her chair following her maid. "I can't wait to meet my fellow professionals and that man," smirked Merra with interest.
Merraid Oreburg: An assassin that was hired by the revolutionary army and leader of the Oreburg foundation.
The headquarters of the Oreburg was a giant mansion that was standing near a cliff and Mera just finished her dinner. "Chelsea, more wine, please," asked Mera.
"Ah! Yes, right away, Madam Mera," said Chelsea nervously, who wouldn't be since she was standing in the presence of Merraid Oreburg the leader of the most dangerous assassin group, she filled the glass with red wine and when she pulled away Mera suddenly held her hand.
"You know, Chelsea." began Merraid making Chelsea flinch when she softly squeezed her hand. "I'm sorry to have headhunted you so soon after you resolved to strike out on your own." she continued while Chelsea was sweating slightly when she saw Merraid's smile. "But with you here now, my motivation has changed, I'm going to work hard to show you how cool I am."
"Ahaha." laughed Chelsea nervously at Merraid.
"Madam Mera, I think that's enough wine, for now, said an old man wearing a butler uniform with a stoic look on his face, he was Daniel the Oreburg head-butler. "Having failed once already, we Oreburgs must restore the confidence of those who placed their trust in us. We must take out our targets."
"Is this what I think it is, Daniel, you seek vengeance for Barbara." guessed Merraid with a smile.
"You hit the nail on the head, in my youth I fell for her at first sight, from that moment I vowed to win her heart someday then before I found myself an old man and still a virgin," replied Daniel while remembering Barbara in her teenage years eating a cheeseburger with him staring at her, she noticed and grinned and winked at him. "I swear I will avenge Barbara," said Daniel in a dark tone.
"You're a bit too stuffy for me, but I'm counting on you," said Merraid drinking her wine, then a giant lion with red dragon wings that was bigger then the mansion's height came and roared at them. "Oh? I thought I wiped them all out, but it seems one has arrived."
"It's a king Gappi, their hearts are said to be delectable and tender," informed Daniel.
"Well then, Chelsea if you would be so kind," said Merraid while drinking her wine again.
"IM SORRY! BUT THAT'S ASKING WAY TOO MUCH!" shouted Chelsea disbelieving that Merraid thought she could take the king Gappi on even if it was a compliment she wouldn't be able to do since she was a rookie.
The king Gappi charged forward to attack while roaring.
"Gil and Dora then," said Merraid not caring too much.
2 figures passed by Chelsea who was amazed at the speed they were going, these were Gilberda and Cassandra, Gilberda was a tall busty blonde wearing a maid outfit and looked excited to fight, Cassandra was a girl of normal height and had black hair tied in twin-tails and the most noticeable thing about her was her 6 arms and she also wore like Gilberda a maid outfit and had a stoic look on her face.
Gilberda charged forward and held the king Gappi by one of the fangs and used her right hand to punch half of its face off. "Hah! That felt good." sighed Gilberda with satisfaction, Cassandra was circling 6 rankshams and threw then at the king Gappi which was still alive even with half of its face gone
"Now doing the final dinner prep," said Cassandra in a dark tone while throwing all her rankshams severing the wings, legs, head, and tail.
A few minutes later.
The heart of the king Gappi was taken and now chopped into pieces and served to Merraid who enjoyed the taste of raw meat. "Delicious! I enjoy the taste of raw meat!" said Merraid with a smile and small blush. Chelsea was narrowing her eyes at Merraid while wishing that Teako was here to comfort her, Teako was not interested in Merraid since she was saved by Barbara, and it broke her heart when Teako said she was not interested in girls and liked boys, she was acting dramatically while Barbara laughed her ass off when she saw this.
Those 2 members of the Oreburg were the only ones she was comfortable with and now they were dead, she studied the Oreburg and they were people that defied common sense, then there was the person that shot at her but she couldn't shake the feeling that he missed on purpose.
Elite 10.
"We've identified the location of 2 separate saltworks," said Gozuki while showing the map with the places marked. "They will probably have 2 if they lose one so they can still profit from the other one," commented Akame.
"Not if we can help it, we take out both of them and split into 2 teams ordered Gozuki who took Gin, Natala, Poney, and Najasho. "Guys! Be careful!" shouted Kurome with worry in her tone.
Even if Tatsuya wasn't here he had already put a safety lock on Natala and Gin.
Sorry for the long wait, but I was thrashing my litte sister around who blamed me for losing one of her make-up stuff and in the end it was in her bed and I just lost both of my 2 chapters that I wanted to post and Exams were coming so I was kicking and punching her around not caring that she was bleeding, not like we had a good relationship.
