I am sorry that I take longer to update and this chapter is shorter than I usually write. But thankfully I manage to finish this despite the drama in my rl. Thanks for reading this and see you guys again.

(PS: I am sorry if Lubbock is OOC)


"You want me to join Night Raid?" I am very surprised. I remember that I wake up in different bedroom which is larger than my old bedroom. I notice the scenery of the forest from the window that indicate I am no longer in the capital. All I remember I pass out after beating Ai to death.

To make this quick and understand, Tatsumi who we met before, greet to me and explain everything about what happen on that night. Apparently was asleep for two days now and my body still in recovery. Tatsumi then introduce everyone of Night Raid and now I am here in front of their queen ( Najenda ) as she offer me to join her group. I have to admit, she look pretty damn cool.

"According to my subordinate, you have a talent to kill and not to mention a Teigu-user as well. That is not something an average 'citizen' can have. You already knew the capital corruption" Najenda said with a confident smile as I a little hesitated.

"Yeah, corrupted noble, puppet guards, torturing innocent and even assassination. The capital is nothing but hell. Only those who has power, money and influence can survived that kind of world. That what I learn" I said in confident and cocky a little. In truth, this world is like a hell that I become bore than afraid.

"True that the capital is like you said however, not all are true. We kill those who are corrupted and little by little, we will reach our goal. When that happen, the world will changes. Have you ever heard of Revolutionary army?" Najenda ask me and the last two word actually caught my attention.

"The Revolutionary army is the group of people that against the corruption of this world. It start out small but little by little, it become a huge organization. I guess, that is when Night Raid tag along" I said in a bit serious. I have to thanks to Daisuke for this since he know so much about everything.

"You already know about that too. I guess living in the capital really helps you get this much information" Tatsumi look impress with my knowledge and I feel proud for that. Well half of it.

"But I am curious, just what is Night Raid's goal? Did you guys only kill because Revolutionary army ask for?" I look at everyone and curious about their true goal is. They don't just kill people with no reason.

"Our main goal is to eliminate the source of this corruption, the Prime Minister. You must have heard about him by now" Najenda lend up her mechanic arm up and then quickly make a fist in the air when she mention the word 'Prime Minister'. She really sound deathly serious.

"We also accepting request from the civilian like the one during the doctor's and his daughter's assassination. I believe the one that request us was a maid name Emily. She also ask us to save you from the doctor and his daughter" Leone, the beast lady that I fought before, add and the word 'Emily' really ring the bell. I silent before I put on my act.

"Well, she already dead. It's can't be help" I smile and said coldly like Emily is nothing to me. I think I just saw Tatsumi look a little upset with my word. Well, I am sad but what is in the past stay in the past.

"Lunch is ready" Just then, Su-san just come out from the kitchen (I think). I look and actually surprised to see him wearing an apron with a cute picture of a rabbit at the center and wearing a white t-shirt with his sleeve are fold until his elbow to reveal his muscle arm. Damn, he look so attractive with that look.

"So even him is part of this too. I am not surprised" I act like I am disappoint when actually I am happy to see him. At least there is one hot guy I can eyeing all day. Tatsumi is still a boy and Bulat is… just been Bulat. I think he has an eye on Tatsumi. Oh well.

"I am glad you are alright. Although, your body still not recovery yet" Oh crap. He is smiling at me. I need to keep calm and add natural. If not, I am sure that pink hair girl (Mine) and that beast woman (Leone) will make fun of me.

"That's right, I heard Susanoo has been helpful to you for few times now. You should consider paying back the debt by join us" Najenda smirk as I look surprised with my mouth and eyes wide open. What did she just said?

"Najenda is my master, basically. My task is to keep her safe and help her along her subordinate. I also in charge of cooking when I have free time. If you have something you want to eat, feel free to ask me" Susanoo, his full name, smile at me and I think this one is more sincere than before. I couldn't stop looking at him.

"So, do you still want to.."

"Okay, I join you. Now, I want to see your cooking" My eye's spark and quickly agree joining Night Raid. I mean, I can see him every day and eat his food. I maybe get a chance to spend more time with Su-san. I quickly ask him where is his food and he seem likely to show the dining room.

Damn… I just finish my last bowl of rice as my stomach is full. That was a delicious meat I ever eat. I didn't know the beast that Susanoo and Akame capture this morning (Tatsumi told me about it) was this good. But I am more impress on Akame when she actually finish half of the meat on the huge dish like that. She is talented and gluttony at the same time.

"Su-san's cooking is the best" Leone said out loud as she place her hand on her belly.

"You cooked a lot today, Su-san" Tatsumi look at Susanoo with curious. I actually also curious when Tatsumi said that to Susanoo.

"Today is Lubbock-san's official member of Night Raid. I figure I should cook more since she has been sleeping for almost a week and it her first day as Night Raid" Susanoo said and I actually a little embarrassing when he said that. I shouldn't put too much expectation from his word. He probably doing it because of other reason. Yeah, another reason.

"Anyway. Since Lub-chan is officially a member, tell me, how did you give Cross Tail anyway?" Leone sneaky ask me when I am off guard.

"Cross Tail?" I repeat.

"Your teigu. I can't believe you using a teigu and does not know anything about it" I know it she going to mock me.

"Your Teigu is known as Infinite Used: Cross Tail. That not much saying about it but like its name, it can use in many way. You smart enough to beat Leone despite she is in her beast form" Najenda explain and praise a little to me. I actually happy to hear that but I hide it. I don't want everyone think I too pride.

"Thank you. I fought Cross Tail at antic store. The owner don't want and I found it very cool so I decide to buy it. It after Tatsumi and Su-san company me home that I found out that it was a Teigu. Cross Tail save my life from those thug" I answer Leone's question with a smile. I really grateful that I met Cross Tail

"Oh wait, you mean those three thugs from the Yamazaki's gang were kill by you? You better than I thought" Mine admit it even do she don't want to admit.

"I was worry that when you gone like that. I am glad that you are fine" Tatsumi express his gratitude with a smile that really capture my heart. His smile was pure and innocent. It is hard to believe an assassin has this kind of smile. Luckily, I am more interest in Su-san's smile. That smile look damn charming with him.

"When Tatsumi found out that you were at that mad doctor's house, he was the one who ask us to take you here to join Night Raid. He said that you have a talent for kill and strong too. I guess he was right when we fought and I surprised that Tatsumi here didn't told us about you having a Teigu" Leone grab Tatsumi and drag his head to her rack and ruffling his hair. Tatsumi look uncomfortable but he just let her be. They sure are close.

"Well, she has always been a strong girl. No doubt she can master her Teigu faster than anyone else" Bulat look at me and his eyes said he is confident in me. It is strange. Why he sound like he knows me?

"You sure confident in me. But I try. After all, I am better than pinky flat girl over there" okay, I said that on purpose just to piss Mine off. Mine look at me like she want to kill me and when our eyes clash, everyone can see the war that will happen between us.

"That reminds me, why Su-san has not eat yet? Is he not hungry?" I quickly change subject and look at Susanoo who is washing the dishes.

"Well you see…"

"Su-san, normally eat when everyone is finish eating. It is really rare to see Su-san eating with us. Trust me" Tatsumi quickly cuts Sheele's word and I can tell he is lying. But then again, his lie also make sense. Maybe he don't like eating with everyone? Who knows, I barely know him but it wouldn't hurt to dig his secret a little.

"I see" I act like I accept Tatsumi's lie.

"Anyway, you should rest today. I already put some books in your room" Akame remind me and I amaze how different she is from when I saw her at Ai's mansion. She actually look nicer than she in 'assassin mode'. I like her this way. Save my neck better.

"Alright then" I nodded and take my leave. I look back at them and it seem they having a quick meeting. Maybe they discuss about something import mission? I am new and my wound is not recover yet. Best I rest for now.

Third POV…

"Sorry about that, Sheele. I don't want her to think different off Su-san" Tatsumi apologize after a lie he just said to Lubbock. In truth, Susanoo is a Teigu. Biological Teigu who has his own mind. Tatsumi afraid if Lubbock found that Susanoo is a Teigu, he not sure what she will react because, she seem she join Night Raid because she is interested with Susanoo.

"Well, it so obvious that she interest in Su-san. What do you think of her, Su-san?" Leone tease Susanoo who just finish washing the dish. He actually don't understand what Leone is asking.

"Lubo-san is a strong and smart girl. She sometimes look at me weirdly" Susanoo answer while recalling Lubbo stared at him. He admit, she look very cute when she look at him like that.

"But she eventually found out that Su-san is a Teigu. I mean, she must have notices something off from him" Mine said in displease while noticing the truth.

"That is true" Sheele agree.

"She will in shock but I am sure she accept it eventually. Lubbock is not a type of girl that take the reality harshly" Najenda confident with her spoke. The way she sound is like she know Lubbock for a long time.

"You sound like you know her, boss" Akame look at her with curious eyes.

"Well, maybe, or maybe not. But still, it is good we have more member. I assign you and Akame take care of Lubbock" Najenda look at Susanoo then to Akame before giving their new assignment. Akame and Susanoo immediately nod while saying 'understand'.

"Now back to our really business. Did you and Mine find any news or target need to be handed, Leone?" Najenda quickly change the subject and look at Leone with serious look.

"Well, so far there is no news about Esdeath at Northern reign but…" Leone who was in her cheering, happy mood slowly turns deathly serious like what she about the said is really important.

"The Tartaros has return from their work" Leone said coldly as Tatsumi just feel the shiver just hearing the name Tartaros. The group that lead by a general that know as the red devil.

"They finish it already?! They like have 6 or more jobs!" Tatsumi look really shock. He expect that they finish longer like a month that they finish in just 3 weeks.

"I expect him to be at the capital about like 2 more weeks. Knowing him, he likes to goof around and wasting time but to think he finish early than my expectation, he up to something" Bulat taken this news very harshly.

"He is one general that I cannot predict what his next moves is. Did you find anything else?" Najenda ask again as she can feel the pressure.

"Well this might come in strange but he currently investigate a damage bookstore that next to a flower shop. It appear the same store that the guard found three corpse that was paid by our previous target. I think you two knows who store belong to" Mine reveal some info and it really did came with another shock. Tatsumi starting to sweat as his eyes and mouth are wide open while Susanoo look uneasy with that information. They know which store that Mine is taking about.

"Lubbock's bookstore?"
