三つの獣を殺す
XVII: Kill the Three Beasts
Sheele was in her room in bed contemplating on a few things. Like Akame, she too was curious of Ben's origins. This was a man who bore a powerful watch that allowed him to transform into any form he so desired but yet he used this said power to save her friends with no strings attached. He did it under the goodness of his heart and not for power or glory. She would hear Leone joke and make fun of the man, but it was merely out of a brother and sister kind of vibe. Sort of. A little bit. She was still salty of Ben having multiple forms that could beat her which was unfortunate.
Everyone in the Hide-Out was still cautious of Ben: some for good reason while others out of prejudice. Sheele was not sure about him. He seemed very awkward the last time they met. She was very nervous to talk to him, which was strange to Ben because normally he would be nervous to talk to a woman like Sheele. He was not nervous around Akame since she had been trying to kill him. And most recently trying to get the secrets of the Ultimatrix.
Unlike the rest of her team, she wasn't all that interested in the Ultimatrix. She was more interesting in the man who wears the watch. It had been a few hours since the gang had left. Her door was left open allowing Mine to get a quick peak on what she was doing.
"Are you okay, Sheele?" Mine asked.
"Yeah," she said, "Just curious."
"About what?" she asked, "Oh no, don't tell me."
"Ben," both said in unison.
"I swear, it's like you guys are his drug or something. Yeah, he can transform into monsters! Big whoop!" Mine said, "News flash: Pumpkin can radiate a blast that..."
"Ben has a form that can counter that. Chromastone remember?" Sheele countered.
"Well! Um? Well, he can't warp realities! Ha! You have to be a God or something to do that!" Mine said.
Sheele turned to give Mine a blank look, "Will that surprise you if that's the case?"
Mine sighed in defeat, "Fair point. But it's not healthy obsessing over the guy! That's Akame's department!"
"I'm not obsessing over his Ultimatrix," Sheele said, "I'm curious about the man behind the watch."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know," she said, "But what if we're wrong about him? What if he's really there to help us?"
"Sheele?"
"Listen to me," she sat up, "If Ben were a threat, he would have left us to die that night. And plus if he were from the Empire, why would they attack him? Why the girl does not recognize him?"
"They must be putting a damn good act?" Mine guessed.
"Or that he does not belong here. Like belong, belong here. He was very gullible when he first discovered us. Think about that. If Ben wanted us dead, he would have done it already," Sheele said.
...
In the Dining Hall, Ben and Tatsumi took a few drinks from the table looking out for anyone who would look suspicious. Tatsumi, unlike the rest of the team, was friendlier towards Ben. Bulat was a close second. Tatsumi would ask nonstop about the watch and what it could do but he stopped and talked about other things, much to Ben's relief. He wasn't angst nor was he cold like Akame was. He was chill. They both respected each other and Tatsumi gave Ben some good advice on how to deal with the team along the way.
"So they just had to get used to me huh?" Ben asked.
"Well yeah. It happened to me when I first got kidnapped into joining them," Tatsumi said with a casual tone, drinking his red wine. Ben's eyes dilated to the size of dinner plates.
"Wait what?"
"It wasn't all bad...it was annoying but meh, I adapted!" Tatsumi stated with enthusiasm.
"Do you miss your family? Friends? Colleagues?" Ben asked worried turning Tatsumi's smile upside down. Tatsumi took a brief moment to reflect. Ben caught this and retracted his question to which Tatsumi smiled and reassured him that things were fine. Ben, however, didn't buy it. Something was still bothering the swordsman even after all the trauma he faced.
"What happened to your family?" Ben asked.
That was when Tatsumi faced Ben. He told him everything that happened from him and his friends getting separated, to him finding them dead in a rich neighborhood for the entertainment of a sick, sick family.
Ben's blood boiled. He wanted nothing more but to put an end to this corrupt society. Tatsumi measured Ben's anger. It matched his when he found out about the Imperial Capital cruelty to its poor.
"This isn't right!" Ben smashed the table spooking people. Tatsumi had to pull Ben away from the masses, reassuring them that, "Ben was drunk".
"Who's responsible for this madness?" Ben asked.
"The Prime Minister. From what I've been told, the Emperor's being manipulated by the Minister. I'm surprised Akame hadn't told you," Tatsumi said.
"This society has to be stopped. It has to end," Ben said, "What do I do?"
"I really don't know, but knowing you, you're not equipped to kill," Tatsumi said, "Which begs the question on why the Boss allow you on these missions."
"For defense probably," Ben said to which Tatsumi agreed. He didn't doubt Ben's various transformations. It did make sense for the Boss to tag Ben along. He could defend the group without getting his hands dirty. Plus, with the transformations, it's easy for him to hide via camouflage. They would never know his face; thus his identity would never be truly realized.
He would be completely invisible.
"Well we better keep an eye out for anything suspicious," Tatsumi said, "And by that, try to cool down; and that means hands off the watch," He winked.
"Right," Ben said.
Suddenly, a beautiful tune started to play confusing both of the boys.
"Who's playing flute?" Ben asked.
"I don't know," Tatsumi answered drinking his wine.
...
Outside of a nearby Eatery, a tall, beautiful and slender woman with long light blue hair and blue eyes. She wore a General's apparel with long sleeves, a blue scarf on her neck, and high-heeled boots. She also had a strange tattoo on her chest. Esdeath sat on a bench waiting for her dessert while Leone lied on top of a roof in conflict with herself on whether or not to run or take her out. She gritted her teeth, hungry to rip the woman's abnormally sized breasts from her body but her aura was too strong for her.
"She's sitting right there in the open!" she said, "I can sense her trying to draw us out! That evil woman!" she ranted, "She's oozing with the scent of hatred I can smell it all over!" she sweated a few drops in anticipation, "Stupid of me to think that I could take her out because she was the easiest to find! It kills me but I must follow my instincts and withdraw!" she crawled away, "I bet if Ben were here he could easily take her out using his stronger forms! Oh what am I kidding, he'd be dead! Hahaha! That was a good laugh. As if someone like him could take her down. Pfft, that's my job at least. As if that poser could land a hand on her. He wouldn't even try to kill let alone stand up against a demon like her. I almost feel sorry for the guy. Hehe."
Meanwhile, Esdeath sat on her bench with her ice cream, "That aura's gone," she thought, "I guess they didn't take the bait. And I had hoped to practice some new torture techniques." She licked her ice cream scoop,her mind driving away from the thought of her sensing an alien aura.
"My that is good," she said, "Perhaps I'll treat everyone after this job is done."
...
Back inside the liner, Nyau played on his flute in front of his Superior, Former General Liver.
"Your sweet melodies are as elegant as ever," Liver complimented, "The cruise ship has left the Imperial Capital and no one could see us far from here. And it appears that the timing would be perfect," Liver said.
"I've been playing for a long time now, so the passengers should be nice and drowsy," Nyau said.
"There maybe people on board that may not appreciate beauty of your music," Liver warned, "You have to be weary."
"Of course," Nyau said.
...
Meanwhile in the Dining Hall, Ben and Tatsumi were having trouble standing up. Their bodies were fastily falling asleep. Instinctively, Ben tried to use the Ultimatrix but then Tatsumi had to hold his hand and nod no. He nodded understandingly as they fight to crawl out of the room.
Things got much worse outside. They did not have that much struggle walking as they did inside. The music seemed to dim the further out they were. Both guys covered their ears to block out the music.
"Whatever this crap is coming from," Ben began, "It's really...really annoying!"
"It has to be an Imperial Arms!" Tatsumi stated.
"Naw! I thought it could be the wind! No offense," Ben said.
Suddenly they heard footsteps a seam away, "Hello guys, it's suppose to be your naptime! And to think that I was gonna let you live if you were sleeping!" said a large, muscular man with long, spiky blond hair and pure white, pupil-less eyes. He wore a headdress similar to horns and the same uniform as his teammates'. Daidara walked out from the shadows showing his pupilless eyes to which freaked Ben out a little bit. He regained his composure.
"You must be the Night Raid posers I heard about," Tatsumi said.
"Oh does that mean that you're the real deal?" Daidara chuckled.
"Dude...eyes...where are them? I mean are those contacts or were you born that way? Stop pretending to be intimidating. It ain't working!" Ben teased.
Daidara arched his brow and growled defensively, "What's wrong with my eyes Green Bean?"
"Nothing personal but...I never seen a guy without pupils before!" he said.
Daidara chuckled hiding his anger, "Oh so you're a smartass huh?"
"Well technically I am smart who can be an ass sometimes so...?"
Tatsumi tried to stop him, "Ben, let me handle this. I can take this guy!" Tatsumi told him to which Ben slumped.
"Oh, you think you can take me on Green Tree Trunks?" Daidara yelled in anger, his anger slowly turning into interest, "Well, well, looks like we got a challenger! Heads up!" Daidara tossed a sword over to Ben to which made Tatsumi extremely nervous.
"Have you ever used a sword before Ben?" Tatsumi asked.
"Nope," Ben said to Tatsumi to which made Daidara smile.
"This should be easy. This kid is toast," he concluded.
