It's normal to feel close to my sister after not seeing her for several years, but now...

"It's okay, sister." Kuroko took the opportunity to bury her head in her chest.

Chapter 375 Esdeath's Return

The next morning, when Kurohime arrived at the dining table, the food was already prepared.

"Akame is really biased, she actually gave you so much."

Mine looked at the potatoes and meat in her bowl, then glanced at the twice as much food that Kurohime had, and couldn't help but pout.

"Ok?"

Kurohime paused for a moment, then scooped up a piece of meat with a spoon and handed it to her: "If Mine wants some, she can have mine."

"Hey, are you going to feed me?"

"Mine opened her eyes wide and said."

"sure."

"Hey, I'm not welcome then."

As Mine spoke, her mouth opened wide.

"what--"

"what!"

Even with the spoon firmly in his hand, he was pushed forward and fell to the ground.

"I'll feed her." Akame stood directly in front of her, scooped up a piece of meat, and shoved it into Mine's mouth.

"Ouch~~ Pfft, it's hot!"

Mine immediately covered her throat and coughed loudly.

Meanwhile, the black-eyed figure on the ground looked at the red-eyed figure with a frustrated expression.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, Kurohime."

Setting down the spoon, Akame knelt down and helped her up: "I accidentally pushed you down. Let me feed you breakfast."

"..."

His face was expressionless, but the spoon was already extended in front of him.

He opened his mouth and put a piece of meat that had cooled down into it.

"Is it tasty?"

"Ok!"

"..."

"Mine is angry, isn't that a bit much?" Kuroko felt sorry for Mine.

"It's alright, she's not angry," Akame said with a smile.

"Hmph." Mine turned her head away, then suddenly laughed, "Akame really takes good care of her younger sister, I'm even jealous."

"What are you jealous of?" Akame asked warily.

"No no."

……

Imperial capital, royal palace.

"General Esdeath, welcome back. You have worked hard to suppress the north. I have prepared 10000 taels of gold for you as a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will pass it on to the soldiers guarding the north."

Esdeath was kneeling on the ground at this moment. No one would have guessed that this seemingly tall girl was actually the most terrifying killing god in the empire.

She is the protector of the empire, but a nightmare for foreign races.

His greatest desire was simply to ravage the rebels and inflict violence on all kinds of enemies; he had little interest in anything else.

This was precisely what pleased the minister.

The minister's cruel rule provided Esdeath with a better opportunity to unleash her power and ruthlessly inflict violence on her enemies.

"General Esdeath, the main reason I've returned this time is to ask you to deal with NightRaid. This assassin organization has caused great damage to the Empire's rule."

"Of course, those who disturb Your Majesty's rest are unforgivable. Please await my good news, Your Majesty."

Esdeath wore a smile, while the three beastmen behind her remained silent.

"I believe in you, and besides gold, I'd like to give you something else as a reward. Is there anything you wish for?"

The young emperor's tone remained unchanged; he was essentially a puppet who only listened to his ministers.

"Let me think about it. If I had to say, I'd like to be in a relationship."

Ga?

The ministers and the emperor were both stunned.

"Ah, is that so? That makes sense. The general is in the prime of his life and single. Let me introduce you... how about this minister?"

"what?"

The minister was almost stunned.

“No offense intended, but it’s uncertain how long the minister with high blood pressure will live,” Esdeath said bluntly.

"How rude of me, I'm still alive. So, General Esdeath, tell me what type of person you prefer."

"The type I'm looking for is a long story. I haven't found anyone I like yet. I'll write a formal document for you another day."

"Very well, I look forward to it too."

The minister coughed and continued, "Speaking of which, when General Esdeath returned, did she see the bombed-out parts of the capital?"

"The bombed-out portion?" Esdeath paused, then said seriously, "Speaking of which, I was just about to discuss this with His Majesty. Was it caused by some kind of natural disaster?"

“No.” The minister’s expression began to darken. “It was destroyed by an unknown force. According to some people at the scene, some being caused that level of damage with just one strike.”

"What--"

Esdeath lost her composure slightly.

"I've already sent the Four Rakshasa Demons out to deal with them, but unfortunately they were all wiped out. It's confirmed that Zhu Tian was there, killed by a blonde woman in front of hundreds of warriors. The other three witnessed it but were powerless to retaliate. The location of the other three deaths is unknown; it's said they discovered Night Raid's territory and lost their lives after exploring it."

"Excuse my bluntness, Minister, are you really sure that crater was caused by humans and not by a meteorite? Even among super-dangerous species, very few could cause that kind of damage."

“I didn’t see it myself, but the four Rakshasa demons, the soldiers, and many civilians all confirmed it. That person was flying very high in the sky, and in an instant, he caused a terrible disaster.”

"I understand."

Esdeath's fighting spirit surged.

Such an attack was indeed beyond imagination, but she did not think she would lose to such an opponent.

She is Esdeath, and her success today is not solely due to her own willpower.

"NightRaid, or is it someone else?"

……

Esdeath left the palace and immediately summoned her three trusted confidants.

The Three Beast Warriors were her loyal confidants, possessing immense strength.

"I want you to frame Nightraid."

How to frame someone?

The old man in the middle asked.

"Killing some officials who oppose the minister and leaving evidence of Night Raid, I don't think that's difficult for the three of you, is it?"

"I see, we understand now. We will definitely complete the mission, Lady Esdeath!"

"very good!"

……

Night raid on territory.

Two days passed quickly. During this time, besides Yukino secretly training, Kurome also picked up a weapon and openly practiced in Night Raid's territory.

Her strength greatly shocked Brand, a seasoned general, and even the BOSS praised her highly.

"Akame, I feel like Kurome has surpassed you. You two sisters are truly extraordinary."

"No, she's already more powerful than me. My sister's Eighth Chamber can use the dead as puppets, and they retain all their strength from when they were alive."

Akame shook her head.

"Very well, all of you come with me for a moment, I have some bad news to announce."

The boss said it coldly.

Soon everyone gathered in the conference room.

The BOSS, holding a cigarette, said helplessly, "After suppressing the north, General Esdeath returned to the capital. Leone, you'll be in charge of investigating Esdeath's movements."

"Okay!" Leone raised her hand excitedly.

“Full of fighting spirit.” The BOSS glanced at her, lit a cigarette and said, “On the other hand, a series of murders by civil servants has occurred in the capital. The victims include four civil servants and 61 guards. Newspapers with ‘NighrRaid’ written on them were found at the scene.”

Akame frowned.

She held Hei Tong tightly, her hand kneading Hei Tong's chest, the pressure involuntarily increasing.

"elder sister."

Black Eyes turned his head away speechlessly.

Akame immediately released his grip without making a sound.

Chapter 376 Cola

"Because the victims were all accompanied by top-notch guards, most people already believed that we were the ones who killed them. After all, ordinary people simply wouldn't have the ability to face such guards."

"Did the frame-up succeed? It's clear that our opponent possesses abilities equal to ours, or at least is a wielder of an Imperial Arms," ​​Akame analyzed.

“Yes, they are most likely Esdeath’s men.” The BOSS sighed and raised his hand. “This is most likely a trap to lure us in, but even knowing it’s a trap, we have to take action. Most of the civil officials who have been killed are rebellious ministers who were concerned about the country and its people. They are indispensable talents for building a new nation in the future. We must save them.”

“Alright, let’s attack together.” Mine raised her hand excitedly.

"Then there are two groups of civil officials who might be targeted next: Brand and Lubbock in one group, and Black Eyes and Red Eyes in another."

The reason the sisters were deliberately grouped together was because the boss discovered that their combined fighting power would increase significantly.

"So where do we need to go to protect them?" Kuroko asked.

"A huge, luxurious passenger ship—the Dragon Boat—is moored at the starting point of the Grand Canal near the capital."

"Excuse my bluntness." At this moment, Misaki Shokuhou, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped forward and said confidently, "Why don't we gather both groups on the dragon ship? Our opponents will most likely attack there this time."

"Really?" The group looked at her in surprise.

“This is probably based on… judgments about target values ​​and behavioral patterns,” Misaki Shokuhou explained.

Actually, it's based on the judgment of the original plot.

Alternatively, you could have Shubi monitor the situation remotely.

After this battle, they will most likely face off against Esdeath's people.

At that time, you will meet Kurome from the original work.

"Since it is the Queen who said so, then let us act in accordance with your wishes."

The boss nodded. She didn't know why she felt such a strong liking for this blonde girl. But she was so cute; most people would instinctively lower their guard in her presence.

“However, considering that Akame and Lubbock’s identities have been exposed, I suggest that Shubi go on this mission as well.”

The BOSS's gaze fell on the Machine-type Shiro.

"Shubi, are you good at close combat?"

“No problem.” Hughie nodded.
