Walking through the streets of the capital, Wendy looked at the map in her hands as she made her way to one of the Imperial Army barracks.
"I can to make it. " She said, with a look full of conviction. "I'm going to show everyone that I can manage on my own, without needing Natsu, Erza or the others, and even Carla. "
Thinking at her cat, the girl couldn't help but brood. To be honest, she would have given anything to hear the animal's words to encourage or comfort her.
"Especially since, by the way she looked, she could have passed for a teigu." Laughed Wendy. " This might have increased my chances of getting caught."
"Teigu ? " She thought then.
'' I know. '' She cried, sniffing the air. "Maybe there is a way I can get recruited more easily."
Smelling all the smells of the city, while starting to run around, she finally stopped after several minutes of searching, picking up a familiar scent.
"Here. " She affirmed, running in an alley.
Finally, she saw the person she was looking. Making her faithful military salute, to a colossus with a wounded eye, Seryu cried out.
"Seryu, report, Captain Ogre ! No trace of the slightest evil for today ! Good is omnipresent and justice triumphs. "
"Good work. " The man said, turning around to leave. " Keep patrolling like that, Seryu ! And don't forget to get rid of every bandit in this town ! That's how is true justice. "
"Yes, sir. "
Gesticulating in front of Seryu, Koro attracted her attention and she took him in her arms. Then she got up and saw Wendy, half hidden, not far from her, and it didn't take long to recognize her.
"Oh, but you are one of the protectors of justice. "
"Hello, Seryu. " Wendy greeted Seryu, while trying to guess out how to approach her problem with her. "Already at work ? "
"Always. " Seryu assured her. " Justice has no time to rest ! Did you want something ? Some help ? Where have you seen bad bandits? "
"No, uh... actually ! I would like to join the Imperial Army. "
"What ? But I thought you were a headhunter ! Besides, where are your friends ? "
"We've decided to split up."
" What ? For what reason ? "
Being then certain of this girl's thinking, Wendy said.
"It was after talking to you that I understood something ! Yes, you opened my eyes ! I want to follow the same path as you in order to uphold justice. "
At that moment, to say that Seryu's eyes began to shine was an understatement. Wendy actually felt as if she saw a real meteor shower in her eyes, as she cried out.
"Of course, you can join the army ! Yes, a person who believes in justice should join the army."
"She took the bait. " Wendy thougt.
"Uh... the matter is, no one's going to take me ! The army certainly won't want a kid like me. "
"Don't worry. " Seryu assured her, putting her hands on her shoulders. "I'll help you with that. "
Then, having her arm pulled, Wendy was carried away by the young woman, just like Koro at the end of his leash.
'' For tonight's mission ..." Began Najenda by placing three photos in front of her. "... we have three targets to kill ! The first two are captain Ogre and vice-captain Tero ! Both are suspected of corruption and executions of innocent people! And the third target is to get rid of an oil merchant named Gamal ! He is a murderer who gets rid of his competitors by killing them before giving money to Ogre."
"For vice-captain Tero, I don't have confirmation." Confessed Leone. "Nevertheless, I overheard a conversation between Gamal and Ogre ! These two are accomplices to murder, there's no doubt about it. "
"In that case, we'll at least have to kill those two ! For Tero, it will depend on whether or not he confesses his sins himself."
"Are they strong ? " Lily wanted to know.
"To be captain and vice-captain, they make for good fighting skills. " Sheele said. "Nevertheless, Tero is a retired vice captain who now spends much of his time in his office ! However, Ogre will be a formidable opponent."
"It's right." Assured Bulat. " They call him '' Ogre, the demon '' ! He received this nickname thanks to his skill with the sword ! All the captain's criminals are afraid of him ! Usually he spends his time patrolling the city or hanging out at the garrison headquarters. "
"When Gamal comes to see him, he claims that he comes to talk to him about the death threats he receives." Completed Leone. " Of course, it's just a lie ! He only comes to his room to give him money."
"The problem is that he's constantly in the company of other soldiers." Said Sheele. "Separating him from them is not going to be easy."
"Akane could take him in a hurry. " Said Najenda. " Nevertheless, not sure she could approach him without being spotted by someone else ! That's why I'm putting the new recruits in charge. "
"Huh ? " Tatsumi wondered.
"It's true ? '' Natsu and Gajeel wanted to know about.
''I am the one who will fight Ogre. " Said Natsu.
" No, it's me." Retorted Gajeel.
"It's true that it's better that you take care of him. " Approved Akame. " Tatsumi wouldn't stand a chance against him."
"Don't think I'm incapable of facing him. " Roared Tatsumi suddenly. " For a scoundrel like him, I'd have no mercy ! If he really executes innocent people himself, while leaving criminals without shooting, I could never forgive him ! I... I..."
Clenching his fists, he shouted.
"I will kill him myself. "
"Do as you wish." Najenda assured. "Now go kill those scoundrels. "
"Hahaha ! What are you bringing us back here, Seryu ? " A soldier laughed.
" This isn't a nursery here."
Arriving at a training ground in the Imperial barracks, Wendy couldn't help but feel uncomfortable as she saw several dozen soldiers practicing, before each of them turned to her.
"I'm looking for captain Ogre. " Seryu said, without bothering to look at what the soldiers were saying. " I have this recruit to introduce him."
"That kid ? Haha, is it joke ? "
"Hey, we don't recruit in the cradle."
"Get back up your mama's skirt, little girl. "
"Now I understand why Najenda warned me that getting recruited was going to be tough."
"Stop ! " Seryu ordered. " Everyone has the right to have a chance to fight in the name of justice ! I just want to know where is the captain."
"Don't bother him for that." Said a voice.
Almost shaking the earth as he walked, an overweight man walked towards the two girls, while the other soldiers got out of his way.
"I'm lieutenant Furick." He introduced himself to Wendy. "So, you want to join the army ? "
"Yes. " Assured the girl.
Giggling then, the man finally put a big club on his shoulder as he pointed with his thumb.
"In that case, I'll test you myself ! We're going to fight each other in a fight where weapons are allowed ! You can only join our battalion if I find you fit for it ! Is that alright ? "
"Agreed. " Said Wendy.
Immediately, several soldiers stopped giggling and showed fear on their faces. Even Seryu seemed to be about to tell her to give up, believing that Wendy had just committed a dumpling.
"Hey, kid, give it up." Someone advised her.
"A child like you won't be able to stand up to Furick, the bone breaker."
"Get out of here before you get your skeleton destroyed. "
Nevertheless, to everyone's surprise, Wendy walked towards Furick, before inspiring. Then opening her eyes, she said.
"I'm ready. "
"Don't you want a weapon ? "
"I don't know how to handle one ! And anyway, I won't need one. "
"I don't know what you're thinking, but I don't plan on being nice to you. " He said, running towards her. " Don't complain when I flatten you with my club. "
Remaining strangely calm, Wendy finally raised her hand in the air, before shouting.
" VERNIER ! "
Barely able to see the two spheres covering her feet, Furick was surprised to see the girl dodge his club as it hit the ground.
"How ? "
Using improved speed, Wendy began to run all around him, as the man began to find the situation annoying.
"A teigu ?" He wondered, trying to find her with his eyes.
Suddenly pointing a foot in his direction, Wendy ran at him. Seeing her launch a frontal attack on him, the man took it as an insult, while he shouted.
"Don't underestimate me, you brat. "
Nevertheless, he barely had time to swing his club again when Wendy already made a counterattack. Jumping, she took advantage of her improved speed to land on her opponent's club before using the weapon as a springboard. Making a double jump, Wendy found herself on top of her opponent while she lifted her leg up.
" SKY DRAGON'S CLAW ! "
Furick's eyes could only widen, as he felt like to see the paw of a real white dragon bearing down on him before he was flattened underneath..
Furick's face was caught in the ground, and his face cracked on impact. Opening their mouths wide, the soldiers retreated and shouted in surprise, their superior had just been beaten in a single attack.
"Lie... Lieutenant ? "
Stunned, he couldn't say anything while Wendy landed three feet away from him. Exhaling, she finally stopped showing her serious gaze, while she became frightened, seeing what she had just done.
"I may have been a little too hard on him. "
Nevertheless, Seryu began to applaud her, and cried out.
"Awesome ! That's what I thought ! Those who follow the path of the justice always win. "
As if he wanted to imitate his mistress, Koro hit his belly because he didn't have long enough hands to applaud better than that.
Suddenly putting her arm around Wendy's shoulders, Seryu said.
"Welcome to the army ! Starting today, I'll take care of you ! You'll be my assistant of justice, Wendy."
"Very... Very well. " Said the child, immediately performing a military salute.
"Well, that's a change from the underprivileged neighborhoods. " Natsu said, looking around him. " There are a multitude of statues here. "
"That's where are the districts reserved for the military forces of the empire. " Leone explained to him as she walked with him, as well as with Tatsumi and Gajeel "Well, then, who will attack whom ? "
"I'll take care of captain Ogre. " Tatsumi said, happy to have won at shifumi.
"Vice-captain Tero. " Said Natsu, less excited now at the thought of not fighting a good opponent.
"I'll share the oil merchant with Akame. " Gajeel growled. "I hope, at least, that he has good bodyguards."
"Are you sure you'll be all right, Tatsumi ? " Questioned Leone. " We'll leave you alone. "
"Absolutely ! I have to impress Akame on this one ! Then she'll stop seeing me as a weakling. "
"Speaking of her, you have to know something. " Leone insisted. "When Akame was little, she and her sister were both bought somewhere in the empire."
"What ? " Natsu roared. " Their parents agreed to sell them ? "
"What do you want ? " Asked Leone, shrugging her shoulders. " For children from poor families, it's like playing roulette! Either the lucky ones find good families or manage to get out of the world of poverty ! Or the unlucky ones are sold to criminals or others who will then kill or rape them! By the way, Akame and her sister have joined an assassination organization! That's where she learned how to kill! Nevertheless, the chances of a child getting out alive were slim and Akame had to hang on to survive! She worked under the empire's orders and became a perfect assassin. "
"So even children are destined to help this corrupt country. " Lily mumbled. " But then, why did she join the revolutionary army ? "
"Like Bulat, Akame could feel the darkness within the empire ! And on one mission, she ran into the boss who was actually her target ! Crossing her eventually made her change sides and from that day on, she became an international enemy. "
"What happened to her sister ? " Wanted to know Happy.
"No idea ! All I know is that the team she used to work with had suffered heavy losses before she met Najenda. "
Listening to her without saying anything, Tatsumi finally left, saying.
"I don't see how that's any of my business. "
However, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth as he stared at the city in front of him.
"I will never forgive this city. "
Smiling as they heard him, Natsu and Gajeel ended up leaving too, taking a different direction, while Leone went after Gajeel, with the mission of getting him back to Gamal without getting caught.
Filling out a new form, a man close to retirement began to sigh as he looked at the mountain of registration papers that remained to be validated. He looked up and sighed again with a weary sigh as he looked at his cap on his desk, which bore the insignia of his rank.
"Is this really the life I wanted to have when I joined the army ? "
" Hey ! "
Suddenly, with all his senses awakened, he turned around to see a silhouette in the frame of his wide-open window. Surprised at first, the man smiled a little before asking.
"Can I know who you are ? "
"Natsu Dragnir !"
"And how did you get here... Natsu ? We're on the third floor."
"With me. " Happy assured, flaunting his wings.
Looking at him, the man then wanted to know.
"Are you a talking cat ? An organic teigu ? Interesting ! What is the purpose of your visit ? "
"Are you the vice-captain Tero ? "
"Yes, I am. "
"I came to kill you, in the name of the Night Raid. " Natsu said, as he entered the room.
" Night Raid ? "
To tell the truth, in all honesty, Natsu expected the man in front of him to start screaming for help, pretending to run away or pull out a gun. But strangely, after knowing that Natsu was there to kill him, Tero remained perfectly calm and just presented him with the chair that was in front of his desk.
"In that case, have a seat and let's talk."
The duo was surprised at his calm.
"Do you think he's deaf ? " Asked Happy.
"Or maybe he doesn't take us seriously. "
"It's not that " Said the old man, suddenly putting two little glasses on his desk. " It's just that I was sure this day would come ! Therefore, I want to die with honor for the sins I have committed. "
Sitting in front of him, Natsu took his seriousness while questioning him.
"Does this mean that you confess to being corrupt and accusing innocent people instead of real criminals ?"
Taking a small bottle of whisky out of his drawer, Tero poured some into the two glasses, and then drank a quick sip.
"At least? I could have had one last drink before I died. "
"Answer. " Natsu ordered him.
Not being in a hurry, the man then took out a cigar, which he lit under Natsu's increasingly angry gaze. Finally, exhaling a column of smoke, he confessed.
"Yep ! I accepted money from various scoundrels. "
"And why ? " Natsu asked him, putting his hands on his desk. "You're part of the police in this town ! Your job is to protect the people ! No killing innocent people. "
Giggling at this, Tero said.
"You've recently arrived here, haven't you? In that case, I'll tell you something! Except for the great general Budo and some of his best men, all the high ranks of the police are corrupt, and that's because of the influence of the Prime Minister. "
"What ? "
"The Prime Minister has a lot of connections like lawyers, financiers, creditors... in exchange for their support, they let them do whatever they want in town! Then he ask us to abandon any investigation into the crimes of these people, while giving us large sums of money. "
"And you accept this with a smile ? " Roars Natsu, grabbing him by the collar. "Scum ! If you know all that, just refuse and do your job properly. "
"And why ?" Tero asked him, without the slightest fear. " Do you at least know how the former captain of this barracks died ? He decided to follow the path of justice and arrest various men who supported the Prime Minister ! It didn't take long before he and his whole family were killed. "
Squinting his eyes, Natsu heard this and relieved some of the pressure, while Tero continued.
"He had a three-year-old daughter ! She had each of her limbs torn off before her head was cut off ! His son had each of his fingernails torn off and his nose and ears cut off! His wife hadn't a single tooth left and her eyes were gouged out ! As for the captain... I'd rather not even tell you what happened to him."
"It's... It's awful," Said Happy. "And was it the Prime Minister who ordered that ? "
"Perhaps ! Unless it was one of his main henchmen. "
Then staring at Natsu, he said.
"Do you understand now why I agree to let this happen ? I have a family too ! If I decide to play vigilante, they will die with me ! And I could never let that happen. "
Seeing Natsu look down, the man searched his drawer and pulled out a pocket full of documents.
"Here ! Ogre had forbidden me to do it but I listed here all the blunders this barracks has committed! If you really want to play the vigilante, I'll give it to you ! I hope it helps you kill a lot of those bastards. "
Finishing his cigar at that moment, he spread his arms wide before allowing.
"Go ahead, you can kill me now ! My family will receive a sum of money to compensate for my death! I don't want to live in this world anymore anyway. "
Suddenly roaring with anger, Natsu hit him in his face, sending him up against a wall. Tero then crashed to the ground and barely had time to come to his senses when Natsu lifted him up, shouting.
" Hey ! Do you really think your death will change anything, bastard ? "
"What...? "
"I hate guys like you! You are the kind of guy who makes mistakes and then runs away from his responsibilities ! You are partly responsible for the fact that the empire is in this state, so if you think we're going to let you get away with it so easily, I am happy to tell you that you are wrong. "
"And what do you want me to do ?" Asked Tero, for the first time angry. " If I had been a general, there would be no danger if I expressed my opinions ! Nevertheless, I am only a vice-captain ! I can try to fight corruption, but if I do, my family will die. "
Then lowering his gaze, he said.
"I love my country ! But ... But I hate the people who have made it so ! I... If only I could do something ! If only I had more power... I... I... I..."
"Power has nothing to do with it. " Happy suddenly replied.
"Exactly ! " Natsu grunted, suddenly releasing the man. " Your lack of courage is at fault ! Even ordinary citizens, by uniting, can create an unstoppable movement! Do you want to protect this country ? Then prove it. "
"How ? "
"I understand that you can't stop the scoundrels in this town. " Said Natsu, taking the documents Tero handed him. " In that case, I see only one solution: become a Night Raid informant. "
"A what?"
"Whenever you know about an illegal transaction, you'll let me know and I'll come here every day to get your report! That way Night Raid can take care of these scumbags. "
"But it's all the same." Tero replied. "If anyone knows that I'm working with you, I ..."
"You have a choice." Natsu said, making flames appear around him. " Either you decide to show some semblance of courage and help us save this country ! Or, I'll kill you on the spot and you'll die as a coward ! This choice is yours. "
Feeling as though he was being torn apart, Tero gnashed his teeth, not knowing what to choose. Finally, remembering the face of a man smiling as someone told him that an innocent man had just been executed in place of one of his followers, Tero asked.
"Is he a target ? "
"Hmm ? "
"The prime minister. " Tero roars. " Is he a target too ? If I cooperate, can I be sure this guy won't be a threat to my family anymore ? "
"Of course. " Natsu assured him, banging his fists. " Just because of everything I've heard about him, you can be sure I'll take care of him! And I would happily transform it into a smoked ham. "
"And rather twice than once." Said Happy.
"These guys ! " The man wondered. " They know who they'll have to fight against... and yet they talk about it while being convinced they'll succeed."
Thinking back to the day where he had joined the army and the first time he had received a bribe in exchange for his silence, the man clenched his fist before shouting.
"I will do it ! For my family ... for the empire and for everything I love ... I would do everything in my power to help Night Raid get rid of the prime minister. "
Smiling for the first time at the man, Natsu reached out his hand before shaking it tightly.
"It's an alliance! Nevertheless, if I realize that you continue to hurt the people, I'll come back here to kill you ! Understand ? "
" Deal."
"Beautiful place. " Admitted Gajeel, as he seemed to visit a large building, like a simple tourist.
"It looks like the old imperial buildings of Magnolia. " Remarked Lily.
"At the moment Akame is taking care of Gamal." Explained Leone. "As for us, we have to find the room. "
"Which room ? " Gajeel asked her.
"Rumor has it that Gamal doesn't just kill his competitors ! In fact, he also kept their bodies and didn't hesitate to use them to traffic in organs ! We have to destroy the place where he's doing this."
"Easy, with my sense of smell. " Gajeel assured. "By the way, I already feel like I've spotted a bad smell of blood. "
Turning then, Leone hummed the air before approving.
"Yes! You're right. "
Running through the building's corridors, the trio had no trouble sneaking into a basement room where the smell of blood was coming from.
"It's here. " Gajeel assured, moving towards a door.
But he had barely put his hand on the door handle when two figures left the ceiling and jumped on him. Gajeel's body was cut from all sides, and he screamed in pain, while two laughs were heard.
"Oh ? He didn't last long."
"Nevertheless, he has good muscles! It's a sign that his organs must also be very good! We'll dissect him later."
In front of Leone and Lily, two tall, bald men who appeared to be twins shouted at the same time.
"It's time for the operation. "
"Who are you ? " Wanted to know Lily, taking his warlike form.
"Me, it's Chie." Said one of the two men, letting out a scalpel between each of his fingers.
"And I'm Got. " Said the second, imitating his brother.
"We're Gamal's surgeons! After he chooses a target, we are the ones who must kill him and then take his organs. "
"And we're so good we don't even need a license ! I can't wait to see the inside of an organic teigu. "
Having been taught a lesson about teigus, Lily smiled somewhat when he noticed that the two men thought he was a vulgar object.
"Sorry, boys ! But I have a conscience of my own! And anyway, even if I were a simple teigu, I'd look more like a human compared to two monsters like you."
Charging then, he attacked the two brothers. Blocking his sword with their many scalpels, with perfect synchronicity, the two men sneered.
"What power ! What beautiful muscles !"
Striking then, each of the three fighters increased their speed, either to parry a blow or to launch an attack. Staring at Lily without moving, Leone soon noticed that Lily couldn't get the upper hand. He hadn't been injured once, but the speed of his opponents prevented him from attacking them as he wanted. Instead, he had to defend himself against their combined assaults while their scalpels were directed at the muscles of his arms to cut them off.
Finally, feeling a blade slash through his shoulder, Lily stepped back and put a safe distance between him and the twins as he caught his breath.
"Hahaha ! You're not bad. " Said Got. " That makes your murder again more interesting. "
"Nevertheless, don't think for a second that you can defeat us. " Chie replied.
Hearing Lily growling, Leone walked towards him and asked.
"Do you want my help ? "
"I can manage. " Lily assured, resuming the assault.
Nevertheless, a voice commanded him.
"Stop ! I'll beat them myself. "
Wondered, Chie and Got turned around.
Carrying a hand to his rib injury, Gajeel stood up and faced the duo. Seeing him bleeding, Chie sneered.
"Still alive ? Impressive ! "
"There's nothing to be impressed about. " Replied Gajeel. "As if two second-rate warriors like you could kill me. "
"What ? " Roared the twins, rushing at him.
The two brothers kicked him with a double kick and threw him against a door, which then exploded. Falling on his back, Gajeel stood up with a grimace. Then, placing his hand against his nose, he felt a high heart and smelled an abominable odor.
Turning his gaze in all directions, he couldn't hide his surprise, seeing whole shelves of jars filled with all kinds of organs.
"Do you like it ? " Got asked him, entering the room. "This is our place of work."
"Many nobles are ready to pay Gamal a real fortune for these organs. " Chie chuckled. "We have the best job in the world! We get paid to kill people. "
"And the best part is that the army protects us. "
Moving silently towards one of the shelves, Leone gently put her hand towards a jar containing a heart. Staring at it for a few moments, she finally increased her pressure. In an instant, the jar broke, before Leone's hand crushed the heart.
"Hey ! " Cried Chie, seeing the organ explode. " Do you realize how much money you've just made us lose ? "
Turning to him, Leone gave him a murderous look that made the man step back.
"It's you who don't realize what you're doing. "
"Really? What's wrong with what we're doing ? We kill petty people and sell their organs to nobles in need! Isn't that a worthy gesture on our part? We should get a medal for that. "
Hearing them giggling again, Gajeel stood up, mumbling.
"No pity. "
"Hm ? Of course, we have no pity for these bumpkins. "
"No. '' Gajeel replied, giving them a black look. " I was talking about me! I would have no mercy on you. "
Taking off his top, he cried out to Leone.
"You wanted to evaluate me ? Take a good look at me, then ! I'm not like Salamander or little shrimp ! When I feel it, I have no pity for killing those who deserve it ! And I can do it alone. "
" Who do you think you are ? " The two brothers got angry.
Moving then, they passed behind Gajeel, while wounding him with their scalpels.
" They are quick. " Recognized Lily, without being afraid for his teammate.
"You're pretty tough. " Chie confessed, seeing their target still standing.
"Nevertheless, you don't have a weapon. " Remarked Got. "We just have to stay away from your hands and feet and victory will be ours. "
Moving into attack position, they cried out.
"The consultation is over! Moving on to surgery. "
Running back to Gajeel, Chie cried out.
"Intestine !"
"Throat !" Said Got.
And in an instant, their scalpels sank into the places they had just mentioned.
"And there. " They said.
Yet, hearing the sound of various cracks, Chie lowered his gaze and was surprised to see his scalpels break as they bumped against Gajeel's metallic skin.
"But how...? "
But the most horrified, was surely Got, as he saw his weapons get stuck between Gajeel's teeth. Breaking them, the wizard began to eat them, before he felt like vomiting.
"Disgusting ! It tastes so much like blood that it became inedible. "
"You monster !" Shouted Got.
" IRON DRAGON'S SWORD ! "
Transforming his arm at that moment, Gajeel replaced it with a metal chainsaw which fell on the man's throat. With his head half severed, Got fell to the ground as a geyser of blood gushed from his wound. Seeing his brother killed, Chietook a step back, before fleeing at full speed. Running towards the emergency door, he nevertheless ended up feeling a silhouette on his back. Faster than him, Leone was able to grab the back of his skull and, with a single movement, pushed his head against the ground, making it explode. Killing him instantly, she returned to her normal shape while Gajeel growled.
"I could handle it."
"I needed to let off steam." Said the young woman.
"Now all we have to do is destroy this place." Lily remarked.
"Mission accomplished. " Said Akame suddenly, as she entered the room.
"Was Gamal killed ? "
"Affirmative ! "
Sitting on their knees, Natsu and Happy were trembling with fear, while Najenda looked at the documents they had brought back.
" Natsu ! Happy! Remind me that he was your mission. "
"Uh... investigate Tero to find out if he was corrupt. " Natsu said, in a small voice.
"And kill him if he was. " Completed Happy.
"In that case, why is he still alive ? " Wanted to know Najenda, hardening her eyes.
Moaning in fear, Natsu bowed to her.
"Sorry ! Nevertheless, it seemed to me that I felt in him a benevolence towards this city ! He didn't with pleasure but against his will ! I couldn't kill him knowing that. "
Sighing when she heard this, Najenda said.
"I am displeased. "
Hearing this, the pair shuddered more and more, remembering that Erza used to say that when they did something that made her angry. And usually Erza would punish them afterwards. Yet Najenda ends up smiling and saying.
"But make him an ally is just as well ! And these documents contain very useful and accurate information ! Good job !"
Sighing with relief, Natsu and Happy were happy to be doing so well. Turning to Gajeel and Tatsumi, she continued.
"And very good work to you here ! Especially to you Tatsumi ! Defeating Ogre was no easy thing ! Congratulations !"
" Thank you. "
"And finally, ..." Najenda finished, seeing the door to the meeting room open.
Everyone could then see Wendy entering the room, with a smile on her face.
"Congratulations for you, Wendy, for joining the Imperial Army ! You are now a Night Raid spy."
"What ?" Natsu and Gajeel were surprised. " Hey, didn't you tell us that she just went shopping ? "
"Did I say that ? " Najenda asked, innocently. " Well, it doesn't matter ! Anyway, you two will be just as useful here as there."
"Everybody. " Wendy cried out. " I'll do my best in the enemy ranks! I'll do my part to the core. "
"I'm counting on you, Wendy."
