RAMON'S PAST. TIME AFTER AKAME WENT OUT.

When I become a werewolf, my Alpha makes the decision to smash my head.

Seriously, it was banging me while shouting curses and crying like a anime character.

It was an accident. We both tried to have a conversation in Bahia, Brazil at night while we were walking, then we were surrounded, persecuted, and they started shooting at us.

I thought they were from the cartel or something.

We both ran desperately between the streets until we ended up entering the rainforest: we lost them, then we got lost, we ended up falling from an elevated area and although by pure luck we managed to cushion the fall, my Alpha literally driving the tooth in me.

I don't know what a weird thing about destiny is, but when I woke up, I had the mark of his dentures on my shoulder.

Honestly, I downplayed it because I didn't know about the seriousness of the matter, and because I was more worried that some guys would start shooting us out of nowhere. Nor do I know what it was more strange: that she tried to explain who those people were who were chasing us, or how I was no longer a human and that I only had the option of accompanying her. After she passed the tantrum and stopped hitting me, of course.

However, not everything was so bad: once I overcome the problems of lack of control; that we end disputes over the mess we got into; and that we moved away from the hunters, I came to accept what happened and how my life would no longer be the same. In fact, I was grateful to my Alpha for going into a new adventure, after years of said goodbye to Akame.

Although I never understood why my Alpha made a tantrum every time someone entered the pack, I guess sometimes it was because it happened because of an accident like me. But I didn't think it was something to behave like a crying child, right?

PRESENT

I have never liked beer or alcohol in general. Sure, I took one every time someone gave me one in parties or meetings, but I never pass the first one and always leave it when stop being cold. The idea I have of drinks does not pass from people who drink to drown their sorrows or frustrations. I guess that's why now I'm at least trying to feel drunk in a stupid drink contest here with other mercenaries at Creak's bar.

I mean, I think putting a girl into the world of the supernatural –which she doesn't even understand– turning her into a werewolf is an excuse enough to try to get drunk, right?

Don't get me wrong I'm glad that after a week, Fal has no negative effect against the bite and I'm glad that the idea of using a werewolf's healing factor will work. After twisting her legs a little, and withstanding her screams during the process.

I swear, for a moment I thought she was a banshee.

But the joy of the moment does not take away the fact that now she is my responsibility to a greater level than it was before. Now I not only have to take care of myself, but I am tied to a girl and her two friends who obviously did not abandon her. I think they told me that the alpha and beta connection is like father and son, right?

Seriously, why did I agree to do it? Oh Yes. Air came to try to commit suicide.

Anyway, what was it? Let's see: I'm in a bar; I try to feel drunk; win the drink contest without problems...

...I just remembered that a werewolf can't get drunk...

* Sigh *

Well at least I win the money. I think I got enough to buy the chains I need for the next full moon. Maybe we can also buy a custom patch to Luna.

But still I keep wondering if this will be enough. I came here for a specific reason and I don't have the time to take care of Fal and the others –caramba, I'm already giving it priority. Even if she learns to control the transformation I can't involve her in that, I can't protect them all the time and less keep them out of danger... Maybe... maybe I should get someone else?

What I'm thinking? SHE would kill me if I did something like that. In any case, it is not as if I could leave them alone with Renzu now. The guy has already done too much for us. And it is enough that I had to go out alone with Fal the last two nights after the excuse of how to recover mobility in the legs, to teach the basics of a werewolf, so that it ends up becoming a routine that can misunderstood in something like a fetish. Weirder would be if Air or Luna accompany us...

I think I tried to get drunk enough. I'd better see the girls.

However, before I leave, Creak stops me, something about a bookmark in my diary? I don't remember taking it out of the belt, and where did the bookmark come from?

Creak asks me about the bird drawn on the stripper, a hummingbird.

I don't know how, but that goddess has to do with this.

After explaining to Creak about the peculiar bird that acts as a divine messenger from the region where I lived –true data in cosmology– check the page where the separator is located...

"Special Mission: Find the fake killers of Night Raid!

A group of people affiliated with the empire have been committing murders under the name of Night Raid. Find out what you can at the bar about the recent murders of these imposters, and with this discover where the next murder will be between these places: The luxury liner Ryuusen, tied in the grand canal. Village on the outskirts of the capital, Kawaita. [1]

If you succeed in discovering it, in addition to having the opportunity to meet again with Akame you will get a loyal and powerful member for your new and small pack. Also other allies that will help you be closer to fulfilling your mission "if you know how to play your cards" X3, ;P.

Do you accept? Underline: Yes/No

A small bonus will be offered if you accept the mission, and another if you get to the location of the next murder.

Warning: If you accept but you are wrong about location, there is a 50% chance that Nigth Raid will find out about you, and 70% that you will become a target and be killed. "

I close the book.

Ok, how deep is she in video games? ...

...

A powerful and loyal ally? Mmm ...

I've always been more to follow than lead. But I must admit that the opportunity to meet again with Akame would be good.

And if her comrades are half as skilled as she, it would certainly be beneficial. Besides being able to be closer to finding that bastard, which means that he is also a target of them, right? If so, that really makes things easier for me.

But on the other hand, they can kill me. That refers to the possibility that I will not meet Akame but with an acquaintance of her who tries to kill me, even if I tell him that I know her. In any case, that is if they find me, my senses must be fit enough to keep me away from everything that happens, right?

In the end the pros are better than the cons… Oh well, they could also help me take care of the girls. Surely they will complain and tell me they are not babysitters, funny thing.

After considering it a couple of times I end up underlining the "yes" in the newspaper and start listening to everything at the bar. There are many rumors regarding these murders: some point out how the modus operandi of this false Night Raid is very different from the other murders, however it is still limited to power and political figures; There is someone saying that they are not attacking people who are suspected of having dirty businesses and others who say they were people who opposed the minister. Are they really leaving pamphlets with those who claim to belong to the group? They must want to be persecuted; so they are a group with the confidence to be able to defeat them. The last murder was of the previous prime minister and his daughter who were accompanied by a group of skilled warriors of the imperial fist - it must be a powerful martial art as mentioned - something to indicate that only Night Raid could do it. Ah, there is an imperial soldier who looks like a drunken voice while ensuring that everything is the work of the Akame group, so it is a group affiliated with the empire. An ice queen? so far they have limited themselves to towns that are close to the capital but at least two days away, they have followed a specific course ... ok.

After hearing a few more things, I talked about the murders with Creak. She asked me if I was interested in the rewards of the group of murderers, and warned me about it. Luckily I was able to convince her that I was only curious after pointing to the "drunk" soldier. We talked a little about the subject and after confirming some of the things I heard, I pick up my diary and go to the exit after paying.

From what I got I could conclude the next: the attacks are in places usually depopulated but close to patrol and commercial routes so that the rapid information is spread; areas with little chance of escape; the victims are noble who are not affiliated with the revolution but oppose the prime minister, people with good intentions.

The murders in the suburbs at the moment have been only to generate fame to this group, while doing the dirty work of the prime minister. Everything leads to the approach of the capital. They want to make sure that the true Night Raid finds out and goes for them. People are just beginning to believe that they are the real culprits, and it is likely that the next blow that the fakers make is for the people within the capital to take for granted, they will want to plant true fear of the Akame group.

If I am not mistaken the cruise is only for the people of high society and if they –who will surely have the best security– are not safe from that group even within the capital, people will start to fear

Night Raid is already feared, but the middle and lower class people know that they only go for the corrupt and the evil guys, because they are victims of the corrupt nobles who they know that the true group of murderers has killed. But if they start to believe that they only kill for money, there will surely be more chaos and people will begin to reveal what they know about them, old clients and people who have considered hiring them and know how to do it.

The cruise should be the best option then.

After deciding this I feel that the book ¿vibrates? And when I see it, I notice again the separator with the hummingbird. One more note appears at the end of the mission page.

–"Huh, so herbs. It will be useful"

I put the book in my belt and left the establishment. Just to stop at the moment.

A slight, but very clear killing intent spreads from the store in front. A woman in a white uniform, sitting under an umbrella, is responsible and besides it emanates the scent of blood despite having no visible stain. The aroma is impregnated in her. Anyone related to war or torture? It seems that she tries to hide it but she barely succeeds, at least for my improved senses.

Oh, she has noticed me..., and it's very pretty.

Why are the pretty ones are crazy and dangerous? Not that I complain, but I want to know.

Ok, I'm late with this one, but that's because there are some parts that didn't convince me, and that still don't convince me at all. But I already told you not to publish something for a while. So here it is, I hope you enjoy it, I hope you comment. And if not, then since.
