Necros: So I think all of you have noticed I'm not using the lines, it is simple as it is troublesome for me to see them and telling me that I haven't written enough.
Tatsumi: Besides he found out why I don't like Rias that much, it is just that I don't like her loose handling of things. And letting Issei die instead of asking, sometimes she is a bit dumb. Lemon at the start of this chapter.
Tatsuya's room.
Cornelia pushed down Tsukushi onto Tatsuya's lap and sat down on a seat next to the bed wanting to see how Tatsuya handles this, unbuttoning her buttons of her clothing revealing a black lacy bra that looked very sexy on her. "How naughty of you~! Who knew that Innocent Tsukushi would be this naughty~?"
"I-It isn't like that-Uwaah~!" Cornelia just straight up attacked Tsukushi's neck nibbling on it like it was a snack, her hand going underneath the lacy bra of Tsukushi groping the breasts of Tsukushi that were a few cups bigger than hers, making Tatsuya get a slight nosebleed. Cornelia continued her onslaught and dipped her hand to the nether regions fingering he sacred spot entering it plunging in and out with Tsukushi squirming and trying to fight back only serving that her struggling gave her more pleasure.
"The more you struggle the longer I want to continue~! And you on the action with a girl in front of your crush is perhaps making you excited~?" asked Cornelia nibbling the ear of Tsukushi. "Tatsuya, shouldn't you just give it to her~!"
Now she let go of her younger sister and pushing her onto Tatsuya's chest and went to get something in her room.
"T-Tatsuya...take care of me!" said Tsukushi as she pressed her breasts against his chest rubbing them slightly as she knew what to do to arouse Tatsuya a little, him groaning a little was a good sign like the books said on how to pleasure men. There was literally a book for almost everything in the stores and for a reasonable price as well.
Tatsuya blinked and let his Danger-Beast instincts take over and attacked Tsukushi's mouth, slipping his tongue inside of her and quickly dominating her in an instant not giving her much of a chance to fight back. Clearly underestimating her as Tsukushi got a grip and snaked her arms around his neck and fought viciously back while Tatsuya unclipped her bra from behind and stopped the kissing and went to attack her breasts.
Tsukushi gasped at that and tried her hardest not to moan only ending up fueling Tatsuya's lust and begins to grind on his groin with her hips, rolling them and doing it gently on a rhythm she was able to muster on. Increasing her pace and squeezing Tatsuya with her inner muscles making him halt and groan at her teasings, but before he could do anything back Tsukushi pushed him on his back and licked his neck and caressed with her soft hands his chest while continuing squeezing him inside her.
Not noticing that Cornelia came in and had a surprise, plunging her fingers into Tsukushi's other hole made the girl stop her teasings and squeeze Tatsuya unintendingly a bit harder then she wanted to do. "Aah! C-Cora! Not that one! I am sensitive there~!"
"Oh~! I know that since we all bath together~! And I am sure you will thank me for this~!" that got the attention of Tsukushi who turned her head and widened her eyes in fear and excitement as she saw that Cornelia had a 10 Inch black dildo strap-on, her juices leaking from the sides of the leather that the opposite end was also a dildo deep inside of her.
"T-That size is too big for me! I'll break by the time you enter me!" said Tsukushi honestly scared and excited at the idea of Cornelia fucking her ass, her big sister fucking her senseless without any mercy got her only wetter.
"Then I'll gladly make you my little girl~!" said Cornelia not bothered by Tsukushi's pleas and Tatsuya grabbed her and pinned her arms, Cornelia came from behind and held Tsukushi in place by her hips, positioning the tip at her entrance Tsukushi could only accept her fate now. "Here. I. GO!"
Pushing the dildo all the way in with Tsukushi's juices acting as a lubricant it went easily in for Cornelia to go.
"AAAHHHH~!" and now Cornelia began to move in and out very quickly with quick thrusts adding Tatsuya thrusting into Tsukushi with more vigor after the small teasing he received, placing his hands on he hips and pushing her down with more force made the girl moan like crazy added when he began to suck on her left breast.
"Do...you...love it...Tsukushi?" asked Cora between panting and moaning, only not receiving an answer as the face Tsukushi made with her tongue hanging out and her eyes rolled back and just allowed what was happening to her. Increasing her pace on Tsukushi and nodded to Tatsuya who held Tsukushi's hips, allowing Cornelia to grab Tsukushi's swinging breasts and squeeze them hard while occasionally flicking her sensitive pink nipples.
"She's. Totally. Loving. It!" said Tatsuya between grunts and he only went faster as his balls tightened he knew he would be coming soon. "I know where you want it baby~!"
"I-I can't take it anymore! I'm going to cum!" shouted Tsukushi with a face that showed pure bliss as she didn't even move and allowed them to do all the work on her. "CUMMING!"
"AH~!"
"UOH!"
Releasing all he held back into Tsukushi's womb made the girl feel warm from inside, but to her surprise, Tatsuya lifted her up and entered her again surprising still hard and kept fucking her while pinching her nipple and his other hand holding her arm to keep her stable. "H-He still can go on~!" thought Tsukushi in joy as she mustered all the strength she had left and shook her hips in circles and squeezed her inner muscles stimulating Tatsuya further and pleasuring him even more then he was.
Reversing the ends of the dildo and Cornelia came in front of Tsukushi and grabbed her by her cheeks and pushed the dildo without any warning into her mouth and deepthroated her, with Tsukushi sucking eagerly on it tasting the juices of her big sister while making the end of the other side of the dildo. "Seeing my little sister enjoying my juices! It makes me so wet~!"
Tsukushi who had just come couldn't hold it any longer and again mustered all the strength she had left and focused on speeding up Tatsuya's thrusts hoping he caught the hint which he did, and sped up his thrusting and Cornelia did the same as well and began fucking Tsukushi's mouth even deeper and faster. "I-I'm coming!"
"Me too~!"
"MMMM~!"
Tsukushi came very hard as did Cornelia and fell down on the bed face first and was panting heavily and crept over to Cornelia and played with her breasts before falling down on Tatsuya's chest.
*Lemon End!*
"Hah! Hah! Hah! Man that was hot!" commented Tatsuya as he was a bit tired but he could keep going, but he wasn't so sure about Tsukshi when they might have gone a bit too far with her, and it was her first time as well.
"So...this is what I missed?" asked Tsukushi lifting her head from his chest appearing perfectly fine shocking the time-traveler, Cornelia lifted her head up as well and grinned at Tsukushi.
"Told you that you could take it, and did you enjoy it?" asked Cornelia with a smile while still having the strap on inside of her.
"Definitely! I did enjoy it even if it felt a bit weird at first, but now we need to do something else!" replied Tsukushi with a serious face that caught both of the other teen's attention. "I need to catch up right here and now! And this time I am going to use this on you!"
"You can keep going!?" shouted Tatsuya and Tsukushi ignores him and somehow manages to get her hands on the strap on and had Cornelia at her mercy.
"Of course, now are you going to join me or watch~?" asked Tsukushi with a naughty smile as she entered Cornelia who let out a scream of pleasure as Tsukushi returned the favor to her big sister. "Because I get to be the one fucking you Cora~!"
"Oh, my!" Cornelia couldn't help but shudder in excitement as well seeing and liking the whole new side of Tsukushi, but her thoughts were killed off when Tsukushi began to move inside of her without warning and was already moaning in seconds.
"Not talking anymore," said Tatsuya who walked over and joined into the session, grabbing Cornelia by the face and pushing his length into her eager mouth sucking on him.
Unknown Place.
"If I am correct plans should go with the flow of time for now, but it will be unavoidable that some things might change," said Chelsea to herself as she was readying herself to search for Taeko now, she didn't find any corpse of her or traces of blood but it did sadden her that Barbara still died as she was her grandmother figure full of wisdom. "Right now he is playing smart, he doesn't want oo much to change and lessen Akame's past and Kurome doesn't seem to be drugged,"
"But might lessening Akame's past also lessen her resolve as well? She might not have the same amount of determination she had when I met her," Akame may not have the same amount of resolve since it was a personal loss, and such losses empower one's resolve to stop something or get revenge and Akame is a critical piece into fighting Esdeath.
Whatever he did it certainly worked well, no significant big changes except for Kurome whose loyalty lies within her big sister now and she has seen the blond-haired girl alive that should've died in her fight against Taeko.
"Am I the only one who got her memories back?" Chelsea has read the manga with time-travel before and she definitely knew she wouldn't be the only one to awake her memories, but he fear was that one of their enemies awoke as well and that thought was something she didn't want to come out, someone like Seryu was very bad but Esdeath was totally worse because she then knew what would be coming, and she would use some tactics to weaken the Empire or infuriate the Revolutionary army by destroying more villages.
Weakening the Empire allowed her to fight more opponents.
And infuriating the Revolutionary Army would also give her more opponents to fight...would she perhaps try to fight the Shikoutazer since it matches her strength so well and Tatsumi is certainly a match, but he just lacked experience only and time to discover more abilities from Incursio even if she wasn't at the last battle she had a feeling that despite Tatsumi's time-travel was not a sign that they lost.
It was more like a chance to her, because she didn't see the reason why Tatsumi would save Taeko, and turning Kurome around was a good reason but she would no longer be able to wield Yatsufusa, that demonic blade would only accept wielders that can hold the smallest of grudges, like how Murasame's wielder always runs away from their past and doesn't share it with anyone at all.
Yatsufusa would've been easily found a wielder for since the Empire can easily handle and brainwash children into their doing.
"He must have something to counter it, I think my death has motivated him more to get stronger," said Chelsea to herself and walked out of the cave and transformed herself into a bird to search for Taeko, knowing she had no reason to stay since Najasho pretty much escaped that couldn't threaten them to join their assassination group. And Kurome wasn't a drug addict so they had to last and fake it out.
"Time travel is one thing Tatsumi and you prevented those time waves from changing the current past, and now it is solely on your decisions that will change the future for the better or worse, because the Calamity will soonly arrive," thought Chelsea before diving into the lower section of the mountain to practice and continue her search for her friend.
Outside.
"We will be going for a run, I hope you can keep up with me~!" teased Merraid the sisters trying to rill them up, but both sisters merely glared but weren't flared up by the comment. Merraid wasn't arrogant at all since she had a few of her maids accompanying her to prevent Akame and Kurome from escaping, and she wanted both girls to join her and her patience has been shortened a lot after the chain of failures of missions to take down the assassination group.
"Why this?" asked Kurome after the few seconds of silence. Just be straight with her answer instead of trying to do it the long way not that the situation did ease her or simply screamed to take a long way, the problem was the memory of her getting licked didn't disgust her but...as embarrassing it was she got somewhere no matter how much she denied it, excited by the licking. "Only if it was Nee-sama who did it-!"
"Something wrong~?"
"NOTHING!" huffed the youngest girl and looked to the side, and purposely didn't pout her cheeks to make Merraid happy. Knowing her for a few seconds made her realize that the smallest action of her could fuel the lust of the experienced and deadly assassin, even more, she won't shout except if Merraid dared to call her a loli! She was still growing and younger than any other members of her family!
"Even I do not wish Tsukushi this! Not even stupid big-boobed loli Tsukushi!"
"Well, as I said I hope you can keep up~!" and Merraid blurred and was already a few meters ahead of them and automatically made the other 2 run as fast as possible as well to keep up with her.
"Fast!" echoed the thought of both sisters trying to get closer to Merraid.
After running for a few minutes they still didn't get any closer to Merraid but did keep an even pace in their running and jumping from branch to branch, raised in the wild made them used to such obstacles and uneven paths.
"My~! You 2 are very fast, but not enough to get past me~!" she still didn't get a reaction from the 2. Oh, well she could try another time as plenty of opportunities could come once she shows them the truth of the Empire, and slowly break down their barriers and convince them and make them her girls and show them the true path of love! And have the taste of a Loli Kurome!
Those thoughts ran through her head at an amazing speed also forming a lewd expression on her normal composed and calm facade, and the thought made her also drool and pant a little in the run which made Akame speed up and Kurome...decrease her speed who felt for a reason annoyed, mad, and very alert and she had already the answer seeing the small trial of drool dripping of Merraid's cheek for a second.
"...Nee-sama, I'm scared!" shuddered Kurome with dotted eyes with comedical crocodile tears streaming down like a river and this warned Akame that this was something not for the mental health of Kurome of her age.
"We've arrived!" the town was now visible showing no signs of being special at all, not markets selling specialties of the town and since it was so far away from the Empire's main streets and it was in one of the desolated areas of the Empire itself. But it showed obvious signs of people living in poverty and that was lightly put in, as people who looked like skeletons, people looking sad and avoiding looking at each other and some people avoiding the person who was beating up a few men who retaliated.
"She's trying to make us realize if we were brainwashed that the state of the Empire is not as the country bumpkins believe," thought Akame who internally had disdain she couldn't help the people now, but what could she do on her own against a full armed Empire with most of the Teigu and Shingu in equipment and trained people. She just wished she could have more authority and power so she could go to the more secret places.
But to do that she would either have to bribe the people or...sell her body to them and both of them weren't likable at all but she would go with the 1st one rather than the 2nd. Her body belonged only to Tatsuya, Soul, Mind, and Spirit and nothing else to anyone else at all and if they tried anything then they would meet with a painful death, not a quick death that she usually does.
Bribery was easy in the Empire to gain small authority over a district or get control of something that would earn a lot of money like a brothel, getting the women to do it was relatively easy for brothel owners to work there, the ones living in the slums or the salves as in the Empire women fetch a high price as slaves. Slavery was obviously allowed there as for how corrupt it was, and most slaves are mostly mind broken and will pretty much accept any punishment given by their master, but brothels themselves are quite dangerous for rich men as they are getting lead to there and getting drugged and eventually killed while the rest just drugged young boys into having sex of them to keep the atmosphere normal.
Red light districts are also dangerous for the innocent although it would end up very enjoyable for young innocent boys even if they become slaves.
"Now let's go talk to the people of the town and ask them about the situation in their town and officials," suggested Merraid with the sisters feigning looks of confusion why they needed to do this. "And we are going to do the same thing to the next town and repeat it over and over,"
"What will you gain from this?" asked Kurome warily also feigning that she didn't know what Merraid would be doing and that she was acting her age, but she was not someone normal for her age as her intellect goes. Besides the had the whole encyclopedia of basic and advanced knowledge about herbs and ways to handle injuries, there isn't a single herb she doesn't know that isn't a basic one.
"It is not that I will be gaining something from this..." although in her thought it technically was something she would be gaining from this, their trust and loyalty and their bodies and faces. "It is you 2 who will be gaining something from this all and learn about the world and Empire you are serving for so long without a question,"
And then it began as both girls had to fake it so they asked about the people of the town how their situation was and how bad the officials were and robbed them of their money, the soldiers of the military aren't doing anything to stop this at all, or anyone else in that matter and both sisters knew it but it didn't make it easier for them to conceal their faces from the true emotions they wanted to let out. Gozuki always told them that their emotions are sometimes too visible to his eyes, so extra training was aimed for both of them and it worked quite well.
"So~? Still not convinced that the Empire you are working for isn't corrupt~?" asked Merraid and both girls scoffed at her. Merraid shrugged it off and walked towards Kurome and quickly snatches her out of Akame's reach.
"Kurome!"
"Keep her away~!" said Merraid and she dove to with her head to Kurome's neck and bit softly on the right spot making the young girl moan without any resistance or get the process quickly enough to bite it back. "So cute~! I will definitely start with taking you to my bed once I become your boss~!"
"L-Like hell! I don't see girls that way!" shouted Kurome angered and embarrassed that she let out a moan making it sound she enjoyed being bitten. She isn't a masochist!
Merraid smirked and her hand went underneath Kurome's skirt and panties and plunged her fingers gently into her folds. "Ahhh~! W-What are you doing~!"
Trying her hardest not to sound like she enjoyed it but the natural reactions of her human body didn't allow her to, she herself admitted that she actually enjoyed it but also didn't feel very secure that Merraid wasn't going to wait to get her hands onto their bodies and all. Her patience was seemingly very short behind that pretty calm face of hers, and her maids looked at the scenery with envy and excitement, their eyes like predators of wanting to touch Kurome as well all over her body while enjoying to see her squirm to helplessly at their mercy.
"S-Stop it!" Kurome squirmed against the iron grip of Merraid, but it remained futile as Merraid didn't stop and pumped her fingers faster and faster in and out of Kurome's folds while licking her neck and occasionally biting her ear or neck.
"She won't last long~!" thought Merraid happily as Kurome let out a scream of pleasure and came on Merraid's hands. "You taste sweet~!"
Licking the juices off her hand as a panting Kurome fell down on her knees and shuddered at the cold damp on her panties as the warmth quickly disappeared. "S-So this is what nee-sama feels when she does it with Tatsu-nii? I-It is amazing!"
"Kurome!" shouted Akame managing to squeeze herself between the maids and go over to her little sister who was still panting a little from her first sexual experience. "You! You touched her!"
"Hm~! Yes, I did and I want a little bit more~!" Merraid quickly dashed and pinned Kurome against a tree while the 2 maids held Akame down who struggled against the grip of the 2 maids. "Let's have some more fun~!"
Kurome widened her eyes when she saw the rope in Merraid's hand that she got out of nowhere, and how did she manage to carry that with her in her skimpy dress!? "Not in your dreams-!"
Merraid had already bound Kurome's hands with the rope around the tree not allowing her to use her hands, kneeling down and held out the palm of her hand to block the knee attack of Kurome. "Feisty~! It makes me want you more~!"
Moving over a bit higher Merraid's hands went to unclip the skirt of Kurome and let it fall with the sound of a feather and licked her lips at seeing the wet panties of Kurome and shoved them aside showing her clean shaven maidenhood to her. Kurome tried to get free and knew what would happen if she didn't struggle but Merraid held her legs in place with little to no trouble. "Let me introduce you the way of your teenager experience~!"
"N-No~!" whimpered Kurome with a giant blush.
Merraid ignored the plea of Kurome since it only fueled her lust and plunged her tongue into Kurome's folds sending waves of shocking pleasure throughout Kurome's whole body, as Merraid plunges her tongue into her folds while flicking with her nail the clit teasingly making Kurome squirm more and have a harder time to keep her moans contained.
"N-No~! Stop i-it~!"
Merraid only went deeper and deeper and then began to internally smirk as Kurome unconsciously began to slowly move her hips into Merraid's face, lowering her speed she was licking Kurome she stopped and backed her head back, denying Kurome from having an orgasm which made Kurome now experience the dissatisfaction of not being able to come.
"W-Wha?"
"You aren't mine~! But I will continue if you call me mistress~!"
"Never!"
Merraid leaned forward and gave Kurome's pussy a long slow lick making the girl's face from angry to a whimpering and merciful one, Merraid gave it again a long slow lick and purposely circled her tongue around her clit making Kurome squirm more against the binds. "Do you still want me to stop~?"
"I-I..." Kurome couldn't answer as 2 things in her nature were clashing against each other between loyalty, pride, and dignity, and pleasure, instincts, and frustration and Kurome was a mess right now because she wanted to come! But it felt so shameless and her pride as an Assassin was also refraining her from giving in, but each time Merraid activated her sensitive parts it became harder and harder to resist it.
"Well~!" asked Merraid seductively knowing she had the winning hand as she continued torturing Kurome from denying her constant pleasure.
"Kurome!" said Akame worried knowing that Kurome was having a hard time since as her big sister she always maintained a close eye to Kurome, and she never had this kind of training like everybody and her resistance was nonexistent against the skills of Merraid. And the necklaces weren't acting up or showing signs of wanting to protect Kurome, but the clear view Akame had made sense as Kurome enjoys it and does want it to stop and yet her instincts don't want her to stop at all with the pleasure she was receiving.
It was like her necklace was acting the same of being conflicted if she wanted her to come out and attack Merraid for touching Kurome, but the other part of Akame enjoyed seeing Kurome moaning so cutely that it made Akame wish she was there and could do the same as what Merraid was doing to her
Kurome had to resist but it got harder and harder to as the licks became longer and also circled around her clit and then Merraid got something else out of her loose dress and it was a small bottle containing a transparent pink liquid. "This here my dear is a special aphrodisiac developed by some of my girls, and they have made it especially to increase more pleasure by women~!"
"W-Wha?" moaned Kurome who wished deep inside that it wasn't true, but her other part acted again and wished that Merraid wouldn't lie which she highly doubted since she has only told the truth to them. Merraid opened up the bottle and put her fingers inside the bottle covering them in the pink aphrodisiac, and her look gave away what she was planning but for some reason, Kurome couldn't move her legs except for shuddering her whole body and to her fear/excitement it was the exact thing she was thinking off as Merraid plunges her fingers back into Kurome's pussy very deeply while wriggling her fingers inside of her.
"Ah~! N-No~! S-Stop~!" moaned Kurome begging Merraid to stop but the tone she used made it sound like she was wanting the opposite and didn't want her to stop with plunging her fingers inside of her pussy. The aphrodisiac did its work as after the 4th plunge in Kurome's pussy she felt like her insides were on fire and that they were going to melt like ice-cream in the summer.
"Just hearing you moan and see you struggle to contain them makes me so wet~!" whispered Merraid hotly into Kurome's ear and blew on them intensifying the pleasure, and the action became even hotter when Merraid used her other hand to plunge them inside of her pussy already wet of having to pleasure Kurome. Kurome couldn't maintain her face composed and began to moan freely and moved her hips forward wanting Merraid to go faster.
"Do you want me to fo faster~? Kurome-chan~!" asked Merraid as she slowed her fingering making Kurome whine that it got slower. She couldn't take the torture any longer and decided to be a bit shameful and swallowed her pride and was ready to say it to Merraid what she wanted her to do, and it excited
"I-I!" began Kurome until someone in the bushes came in alerting the others, but immediately calmed down as it was another maid and reported that a group was coming here and has seen her going into the forest. Merraid looked very annoyed and didn't bother to turn around and continued to finger Kurome while asking her maid who has been out for the watch.
"Who can it be?" asked Merraid annoyed.
"The son of the Prime Minister, Syura," replied the maid without missing a beat.
Cabin.
"Of all things we need to do is planning a strategy to free them," said Gozuki to the teens in front of him all of the listening including Gin who has been recently quiet for some time.
After the attack of the Oreburg, the assassination group was now allowed to be able to think and breath and of all things collect themselves, now all the thoughts were aimed at saving Akame and Kurome the safest, quickest, and most efficient way. Timing was the question about this operation as doing it too quick would be too obvious and doing it too late was also crucial, and more brutal ways would be used against Akame and Kurome even if it was the last thing they expect from Merraid after they got to know she was lesbian.
It was the least expected way she would ever use, but it wasn't impossible was the possibility and that was something to keep in mind that the least expected is to be expected in time. And also Gozuki was quite wounded from his battle against Merraid and it has been certainly a long time that he ever took such a beating, no, he has never got a beating this bad and it made him realize how far the gap is between the 2 of them.
"We need to carefully plan this, if they can beat you up like this father then it will be even harder for us to face their minions if our leader couldn't even stand equal grounds with their leader," said Green pushing his glasses up although not knowing the kind of irritated Gozuki for mentioning that he got his ass kicked got even more irritated, Cornelia was exceptionally worried about them being the big sister of the whole group.
"But what kind of attack should we take? We don't even know most of their skills and if they held back on us not to reveal way too much," suggested Natala wanting to be useful since all he did was run away even if it was asked of him.
"Don't go bashing yourself, there was no reason for you to stay there except for torture they would've used you for," scolded Najasho with a stern glare making his fellow blonde chuckle and raise his hands.
"Guilty as charged,"
"Sometimes you are a bit easy to read Natala," commented Gin her boyfriend whose smile became a bit more strained. He was getting roasted right there and Poney and Tsukushi sweatdropped at Gin's bluntness.
Najasho feared for how Natala was easily seen through sometimes but he had to thank Gin for covering him up, because if they wanted to ever get out of here then they needed many tracks covered or erased at once. He was the first one to be convinced as infants from loving parents were killed for pleasure and family was something Najasho prioritized most, and those nobles did it for their amusement!
Killing lives that haven't seen the world or their parents!
...But he wished them a quick death for another important reason and that was that he didn't wish them to see such a cruel world like now, as powerless as he was and as much as he wished to help people at a bigger scale he couldn't. The Empire is sloppy but sometimes very deceivingly sharp and tricky to handle as each bribe can also be used against you.
As easy as it sounded to get rich in the capital it was easy but not in the way you think of it and it would certainly not be in the tastes of the country people since something like torturing or killing other people was inhuman to them and would have themselves killed. But threatening was also a thing as forced to do work and show them what they would do to them if they didn't cooperate.
There were just so many ways for the corrupted to take advantage of everything and so little to the poor and the only thing that the ones who fought back were hope, determination, revenge, and the masses themselves. Fear itself became a weapon and it was something to truly fear for since it couldn't be taken away as it was spread throughout the whole capital and happening every day.
"How do we take this matter on, father?" asked Najasho not wanting to be caught thinking too long if he ever wanted to escape this place, as beautiful as it appeared it was still nothing but corruption disguised with innocence. And he hated it all but now he had no time to think about it since it wasn't the right moment.
"We first write down all their skills, we already know many of the leader Merraid of the Oreburg but those may have been a small part of her skill," replied Gozuki circling his shoulder while having his eyes closed.
"Her skills vary from many types of bugs and we should assume a few more and the current ones we know are the explosion, poison, armor, and stealth," concluded Tsukushi writing it all down as well as the suggestions that are suggested by the others and Gozuki.
"The take on this attack will not be the same as the Gravekeepers since they will be more wary of us since they lack manpower from the 3 members they've lost," Gozuki didn't need to make the difference of the losses the Oreburg made. 3 may be a small number but they were Oreburg Assassins and they were worth more than a single person as they are worth at least a 100 people, maybe even more then that number depending on the skill they possess. "But for now we wait and rest, reconnaissance will be scouting ahead for us,"
Oreburg Hideout.
As the view or of some normal docks didn't seem special the trained eye of an Assassin it was a hideout and they have been keeping a keen eye. "This is so booorrring! They haven't been doing anything at all~!" whined Mez.
"90% of the mission is downtime for us, but I agree that this is getting boorish and all," agreed Suzuka.
The Rakshasas are the Prime Ministers personal guards and executioners, Gozuki was once a member as well of the 4 Rakshasas and getting to work for someone isn't easy, but since it is Gozuki he might have asked for their help as well.
"So some of our future friends are caught in there? I heard they are pretty strong and that father is interested in their necklaces," the last part was just straight up weird for Mez that her father was interested in jewelry, considering he hated them because Mez dragged him as child throughout many stores scarring him for life from going to any store like that and even avoid walking near it.
He would probably climb the buildings instead and leave the belonging of women.
"Indeed, they are strong as they have survived battles against the Oreburg we are spying and the Imperial Gravekeepers, and none of them had any critical injuries sans for the newlings who have recently joined in," added Suzuka in and she was very interested in meeting the whole group, but she hasn't met one yet and the mission came in first even if she failed and would be tortured it was a reward.
And all the Prime Minister could do was simply nothing, heh, for once his own torture techniques wouldn't work that even baffled himself.
"Still, I don't understand why my father would want their necklaces except if they are Teigu that have been luckily found for the Empire," said Mez interested in the necklaces her father mentioned to her, and that she had to pay close attention if she saw them with them and if there would be happening something. Suzuka ears perked up in interest about the necklaces and the interest in them, the twinkle in Mez's eyes gave her the answer that she was also interested in them.
"Now is not the time, we have to look out for the one with long black hair and her 2 attendants that are most of the time around here since we can't get anywhere near as long as they are here," chided the Rakshasa her fellow Rakshasa.
"Perhaps we should let you get captured! Your masochistic side will make it hard for them to get secrets!" suggested Mez enthusiastically.
"Ah~! A full-menu torture course by skilled Assassins is truly something I would want to experience~!" moaned Suzuka out blushing and shuddering in excitement as well holding her arms.
"By the way, she's also lesbian so she will use techniques that aren't involved with pain but another source of...joy!" sugarcoated Mez in the end and Suzuka stopped shuddering and blushing and took a thinking face.
"There is another form of joy? Even better than pain itself?" wondered Suzuka out loud and Mez's expression was shocked and what her friend/fellow Rakshasa said also unconsciously told her that Suzuka never has done THAT before.
"Uhm? Suzuka, do you ever relieve yourself in some form to get the stress off?" asked Mez carefully and the confused expression of Suzuka told her enough. "You know what, never mind what I asked,"
It was better to leave some things unattended.
What was weird about the hideout was that the timing of the Oreburg coming back was not as exact as they should've arrived hours before they had come here and no signs of the main group were here except for Gilberda and Cassandra. Gozuki had many sharp points and one of them was the timing of people coming home in a specific pattern and predicting them and him being off was something that has never happened.
Never go for the option that is the most obvious one was one of the few ironclad rules, as the most obvious ones aren't the ones that are right as there can be something more to something that may deceivingly look normal. The rule was taken to the heart since the beginning of training and rooted deep inside them and now it was on full alert since the Revolutionary army has been on action and recently acquired more small victories even if Prime Minister Honest ignored them and stuffed his unending appetite.
It didn't bother Mez that they would lose as long as she could find her opponent that would defeat her, she only wanted strong opponents rather than guarding the fat Prime Minister the whole day as a fight is a thing that makes her blood pump. And she wanted to live this very day and die while knowing she lost against a powerful opponent who has given the fight she wished for.
"Hm?"
"Something wrong Mez?" asked Suzuka at the sudden sound Mez made but received a reply that she was fine and that it was nothing important to share about.
"That was odd, a part of me doesn't agree to die that way and yet I have been thinking to die that way for years..." her mind and body agreed to have the death she wanted to end her life like that...but her heart said not to die that way and find someone to spend time with for a long time and live...when did she get so emotional about such trivial things and why did most part of her want that.
"Well actually Suzu, do you have the feeling of having a goal but that some part of you doesn't agree with you?" asked Mez to Suzuka who took a thinking pose again and looked up at the sky and let out a content sigh that said frustration.
"I don't know how to describe it but what I do want in my head doesn't completely satisfy me, that is what I am thinking at least but furthermore I have nothing of a clue what it means," replied Suzuka looking at Mez with a frustration clear in her eyes from not knowing what she had to do to get the stupid feeling away, it has been itching her for years and this pain was not enjoyable for her. "I don't enjoy the pain from it-!
"Wait! You don't enjoy the pain~!" teased Mez getting her friend to flush in embarrassment.
"I didn't say I don't enjoy pain-!" Suzuka quickly slapped her hands on her mouth as she now said that she denies that she enjoys pain, and the teasing of Mez had begun and Suzuka was now sure she didn't enjoy embarrassment at all of having the eyes looking at her.
"Anyways, is there something else that you want that pain?" asked Mez stopping with teasing her best friend.
"No, not at all," the words left her mouth and she felt a jab inside of her body that was more than enough to hurt her in a place she didn't enjoy it, and the slight movement she mad did get the attention from Mez that it was perfectly timed immediately after Suzuka gave her reply.
"It doesn't seem you are completely agreeing with your answer," pointed Mez out.
"Strange, it is as you said to me that I am not satisfied with something I want that I can easily get," the last part of her sentence kept in her head about the easy part of getting something, she had to think about the last sentence that she could get pain any day she wanted as failing the Prime Minister was more than enough to get yourself tortured by his personal hand-selected men.
Even though it kept irritating him that she was more than happy to accept the punishment with a smile on her face, even the executioners were quite embarrassed that the pain they brought on her was only making her enjoy it more and hurt their pride a bit.
As the 2 continued to talk someone was spying on them from very far away and looked satisfied with the results and walked away.
Unknown Place.
"I should move soon too, can't have them on my tail right now as I don't want to die a 2nd time!" said the cheerful voice of the person who had been spying on and was dancing while walking on the rocky roads of the mountain while occasionally kicking a small but dangerous Danger-Beast away while killing it. "To think that you always held me to that regard as your...now I realize how much I wanted one."
Looking up the sky and sighed in a bit of frustration, he honestly thought it very reckless of what Tatsumi did but it was well thought through and he couldn't help but feel guilty about it. He wanted to be of use to his friend and his friend also gave him a 2nd chance to do something he wasn't able to do when he died, and it was something he indebted to him and the deal he struck was also a blessing to him.
Living for 200 years would be hard on anyone and not even Akame would've lived so long if she merged with the being Tyrant. Najenda would not be able to live for so long even if she had her arm and eye back to her.
Bulat, he thought the same and wanted to rest after being useful.
Sheele, she wouldn't be able to take the loneliness or find people who like her for her clumsiness.
Mine, definitely not because underneath that high-spirited and confidence she does enjoy company but the death of friends always is hard on her.
Chelsea, was pretty much the same of not wanting to see her friends die of aging while she remains young.
Susanoo, he was a teigu but in that Teigu he managed to have his own free will and enjoyed his times even if he didn't like him at first.
Leone would try to drink herself to death but her Teigu also nullifies poison and alcohol are included into that part.
And as last the person himself thought about it and...would struggle but be able to do it and despite his perverted tendencies he still holds regret of not confessing to his love, even if she would reject his feelings he would be okay with it since he has made himself clear to her and how he thinks of her. "This is frustrating, but anyways I should go to Sabatini to inform,"
"Master Lubbock!" shouted 2 little girls with blue hair as they came from afar and joined his sides.
"We did our jobs!" said Loris.
"We already send the message to the Sabatini Show!" said Meela.
"You 2 did great, even if I didn't also you to do it but it is good that you 2 already did it for me," said Lubbock smiling and patting the girls on their heads. Let's just say he influenced the timeline a bit too and nothing too much of an impact.
"You 2 should not go too far away without Master's permission," scolded Umber in a gentle tone.
"Master, I always wanted to be called like that but now it is harder then I thought it to be," thought Lubbock with a sweatdrop as he began to walk back to one of the outposts of the Revolutionary Army, he found Umber a few days ago when he was patrolling and watching over his best friend and lets just say his guilt nagged him and ended up taking in Umber who somehow was still alive after her head was separated from her body and a bit of using his strings and some other things as well she ended up serving him.
She has amnesia and also a permanent one as well as that part of her could never be retrieved, she only remembers her life as a Gravekeeper and her name but further than that she does not even remember anything else besides that or her purpose.
"If I hadn't entered that dimension of mine, then I was sure I would never hold my memories," thought Lubbock at the memory how he survived and Tatsumi's little travel ended up giving him something he found useful and temporarily used. "Well, at least I get to get my revenge against Syura and that Izou wannabe demon samurai!"
Necros: And we cut it off here as I am sorry for the late update, now I am so busy but I managed to finish it and besides that. Do you guys know how all weird dimensions are and end up doing something weird on the way while a human enters them? What would happen if some mystic weapons came along that have been rumored to be created by magic, and shards of them end up being there?
Tatsumi: He decided to have Lubbock also have more screen time and have him powerup as well, but eventually it will be a bit harder for the Elite 8 to escape and Syura.
Necros: Should I let Syura die because Merraid is quite pissed off at the chain of failures, and her having been interrupted in a session and you know how Syura is and how spoiled he is. But anyways hope you guys enjoyed it and also I will be explaining how Lubbock was able to heal Umber and was allowed to keep his memories by Tatsumi in a different way. Until next time!
