"Talk"

'Thought'

「It's Not My Fault」

"Bulat, Sheele, they were such valuable people and strong assassins to our group, their death will forever be a massive loss to our cause."

At a different location, at a different unmarked forest, a young adult woman, with silver hair, a eye patch, and had a green mechanical arm, she goes by the name of Najenda, and she was in the middle of giving a solem speech while standing near 4 graves, plus it was raining hard on them, she wasn't alone, as familiar group of people stand before her, a sadden Lubbock, a heartbroken Mine, a frowning Leone, a silent Akame, and a very rageful Tatsumi

"But their death will not be in vain, thanks to them, not only do we know now of a new enemy that we will soon face in the future, but we also came across a new recruit that will hopefully continue the legacy and work of our fallen comrades."

Najenda then gestures towards Tatsumi, who could only lower his head and clench his fist very tightly

"Tatsumi, I wish to give you my full regretful apologies about your friends, and we promised to give you comfort and vengeance for their death by taking down the person responsible for this, however, I want to let you know now that our work as Night Raid is very important, and while I do not wish to disrespect your fallen allies nor stop you from seeking justice, we cannot risk everything we accomplished for your personal vendetta, do you understand?"

There was a moment of silence when Najenda asked the brown hair boy, who could only wipe away his tears and slightly clench his teeth

"I understand, it would be selfish of me to ruin everything that you all worked so hard for just to get my revenge, I don't want to spit on your friend's grave like that."

Tatsumi then looked at the Boss of Night Raid with a very determined expression

"HOWEVER! If There's An Opportunity To Kill That Fucker That Hurt You And Me, Please Give Me That Chance!"

Tatsumi was no doubt eager to settle the score, wanting nothing more than to put down the person who hurt everyone here and making the ones that die by him know that they can now rest easy when he's gone

"I can't promise anything, especially when we know so little about our new enemy, but yes, if there is a chance, you will be the first to know."

Najenda gave an understanding nod to the new recruit of Night Raid, who could only bow in thanks and respect

"Akame, you will be in charge of his training, to not only be a contributing asset to Night Raid, but to learn and get used to Bulat Teigu, 'Incursio', ok?"

Akame only gave a light response to Najenda's request, to which she then lets out a small sigh and turns back to the graves, holding her hands together and bowing to them

"Now please, a moment of silence for our friends, may they rest in peace..."

Everyone in the group of Night Raid then fell into a deep silence, either praying or gave their final goodbyes to Bulat, Sheele, Sayo and Ieyasu, though, the Pink Hair Genius Sniper, Mine, she couldn't help but share the same emotions as Tatsumi and had thoughts that were nothing but pure, untainted, uncontrollable 'HATRED'

'I swear, if Tatsumi doesn't find you first, I will, and when I do, I will make you pay, I will make you pay for TAKING MY SHEELE AWAY FROM ME!!!'

As they continue to mourn the loss of good people, at a different point and time, more specifically at the center of a great Empire with lots of people, a certain Good Loser Kumagawa could be seen trying to sleep like a common homeless person, near a random alleyway and only having a box to save him from the rain, all the while holding the child Medaka Kurokami in his arms to keep her safe and calm, even using his uniform jacket as a blanket for her

"Excuse me Sir."

However, before Misogi and Kurokami could just continue to rest and sleep in such a hobo way, a young girl, most likely around the age of the Minus, who also had long orange hair, bright amber eyes, wore clothes that symbolize her a royal guard, and just had a cute white doggy dog in her arms, this random guard girl couldn't help but stop before them and held a umbrella above them, wearing a expression of pity and sympathy

"My name is Seryu Ubiquitous, and this is my partner Koro, would you and your little Sister like to come to my home to rest in?"

The guard girl, now known as Seryu, after she offered a place of refuge to Kumagawa and Medaka, the Crawling Chaos couldn't help but look at her with a blank expression and said nothing for a couple of moments

"... 「Huh, do I look like a Big Brother? I was trying to be a Father to her, I guess I failed in that regard, hm, can never win at anything…」"

So, what are the chances of Night Raid surviving now lol~

(I think Koro would be a good therapy dog for Medaka~)
