I don't own Akame Ga Kill!!
Next day, in the morning, in Night Raid's hideout dining hall, Mine's eating her breakfast alone.
Mine's struggling to eat her breakfast due to her broken elbows. As she spoons her food, it'll just fall because she keeps trembling.
" Damn it! " Mine cursed as she spoons again.
" Here. " Tatsumi said as he attempts to feed Mine, because he notices her voice behind the door.
" Huh? Did you hit your head when you're asleep or something? " Mine asked, surprised. " I can eat by myself. Leave me alone. " Mine added, annoyed.
" I'm just trying to help. " Tatsumi said while looking at Mine.
" It's not like I'm asking you to do this you know. " Mine said.
" I know. " Tatsumi said with a smile.
Seeing Tatsumi's smile, Mine's heart skipped a beat.
" Alright. Fine... " Mine said while blushing and opened her mouth.
" Urgh!!! So hot!!! " Mine cried out.
" What? Sorry... " Tatsumi said in panic as she gets close to Mine, and wonderfully slips.
" Umph!! " Mine and Tatsumi gasped in surprise as their lips are connected to each other. Reflexively, Mine kicks Tatsumi's gut, causing him to fall to the ground.
" Stay away you perv! " Mine shouted with her face red.
" Urgh... It's not like I intentionally did that... " Tatsumi groaned in pain. " Besides, you aren't putting your back when you're kicking right? " Tatsumi asked with a smile, causing Mine to get even redder.
" C'mon. The food will get cold. " Tatsumi said as he feeds Mine again and enjoy their quality time.
Behind the door, Ieyasu is holding Lubbock who's trying to disturb Mine and Tatsumi.
On the same time, inside Sayo's room.
" What? Gilga left last night?! " Sayo exclaimed in shock.
" Yes. I've asked everyone, and then Akame, Tatsumi and Ieyasu said that they saw Gilga leaving the hideout last night. " Navia said.
" Where did he go? " Sayo asked.
" They said he headed towards the capital last night. " Navia said.
" What's he doing... " Sayo mumbles while looking down and racking her brain.
" No idea. " Navia sighed. " You better stop thinking. I've been with Gilga for almost a year and I still don't know what he's thinking. " Navia added.
" Un. Even since we're kid, I don't even know what he's thinking and going to do. He's been so mysterious since our childhood. " Sayo said.
" Eh?? Gilga's past? Tell me! Tell me! " Navia said excitedly.
" Well, what I can tell you is, at the age of five, Gilga could beat someone older than him. He had beaten a teenager to a bloody pulp when that teenager hurt me. And then he got lectured and punished by the village chief. " Sayo said, and Navia chuckled.
" How Gilgalike. " Navia chuckled out.
" That's just the beginning... At the age of seven, Gilga defeated our teacher, causing our teacher to retire and then Gilga taught us how to fight. At the age of ten, Gilga defeated a group of bandits and Class-1 danger beasts...alone. A he used the money he gained from subjugating the bandits and beast and bought himself a house. " Sayo said.
" What? He bought a house for himself when he's ten? " Navia asked in surprise and disbelief, but Sayo answers her with a nod.
" That's unbelievable. When I was ten, I'm still studying and training. " Navia sighed.
" Same here. " Sayo also sighed.
After Tatsumi finished feeding Mine and seeing her to her bed, he heads to the training ground where Akame and Bulat's waiting.
" Sorry. Did I make you wait? " Tatsumi apologized.
" Yes. But your friend has explained it to us. " Akame said bluntly.
" What did he say? " Tatsumi asked with pale face. Knowing Ieyasu, he likes to exaggerate everything.
" Everything. " Bulat said with a sad face.
" Everything? What everything? And what's more, why are you making a sad face Aniki? " Tatsumi asked.
" To think that Tatsumi's first kiss had been taken by Mine... If I'm not hurt, then how should I feel? " Bulat said while sobbing, sending shivers down Tatsumi's spine. " Well, never mind that. There's still Ieyasu isn't it? " Bulat added while winking at Ieyasu, sending shivers down his spine.
' Fuck! I fucked up! ' Ieyasu cursed inwardly.
" Well then, shall we start? " Tatsumi said as he takes a wooden sword, and then Akame also takes a wooden sword while Bulat and Ieyasu take a long wooden sticks.
Tatsumi paired up with Akame, forcing Ieyasu to pair up with Bulat.
" Hyah!! " Tatsumi shouted as he swings his sword towards Akame and clashes against her.
Tatsumi attacks, and Akame parries then counterattacks. And then Tatsumi parries Akame's counterattack and counterattacks.
This cycle repeated until Akame manages to land a blow on Tatsumi's abdomen, causing him to fall to the ground.
" Urgh! Again! " Tatsumi said and then got beaten by Akame again.
" Again! " Tatsumi roared and again, he got beaten.
" Shouldn't you take a short break Tatsumi? " Akame asked.
" Why would I want a break? " Tatsumi said while wiping his sweat. " Come at me as if this is a life or death battle. " Tatsumi added while gripping his wooden sword hardly.
" Let's go- " Tatsumi said as he leaped towards Akame, but a fist suddenly appeared and lands on his face.
" Ouch! What's that for Aniki?! " Tatsumi groaned while rubbing his nose.
" If you're fighting for life and death, you would mind your surroundings won't you?" Bulat asked.
" Che! " Tatsumi clicked his tongue.
Seeing how fired up Tatsumi is, Bulat can't help, but lightly chuckle.
" You're fired up and more motivated today? What's up Tatsumi? " Bulat asked.
" Nothing... It's just... I need to level up my abilities faster! " Tatsumi said as he stands up and rubs his cheek.
" Oh? And why's that? " Bulat asked surprised.
" I made a promise to Akame... That I would definitely survive! " Tatsumi said while gripping the wooden sword tighter.
Seeing and hearing Tatsumi's resolution, Bulat and Akame nodded with satisfaction. And then, Bulat gets close to Tatsumi and give him a good smack on his back.
" Ouch! What's that for Aniki?! " Tatsumi cried out in pain.
" Looks like someone's grown up. " Bulat said. " Well, since you wanted to level up faster, follow me. I'll show you some stuff which can help you level up faster. " Bulat said while smiling brightly. ( A.N : Ugh... I almost puke when imagining this.... )
" Aniki... " Tatsumi said, touched.
" Now then, for the first lesson.... " Bulat said as he takes a spear. " Follow me Tatsumi! " Bulat said as he heads towards the mountain behind their base.
" Ok Aniki! " Tatsumi said as he followed Bulat.
Akame stands there while smiling as she sees them off. And then after Tatsumi and Bulat left, Akame wakes Ieyasu up and trained him, thus starting Ieyasu's hard time.
⛰️⛰️⛰️
In the mountain far behind the base, Tatsumi and Bulat are heading even deeper into the mountain.
" This is the first time I've been this deep inside the mountain. And it starts getting foggy already." Tatsumi said.
" Don't space out. This mountain is as dangerous as the capital, or even more. " Bulat said in grave tone.
" Really? " Tatsumi exclaimed in surprise, and then his backpack is struck by a sharp root.
Yes. Literally a root.
Surprised, Tatsumi looks to his side and notices a tree with yellow eyes is stretching it's 'arm' which it used to attack Tatsumi.
" What the hell! " Tatsumi exclaimed, and a spear flies past his face, landing on the tree.
" Tree beast. One of the mimic typed danger beast in this area. The perfect opponent to train your awareness of your surrounding. " Bulat said with a grin.
" One of? Do you mean there's other types as well? " Tatsumi asked as he unsheathes Lird.
" Yep. There are also the rock type too. " Bulat answered. " You said about surviving right? Then, this place is absolutely the perfect place for you to train. " Bulat added.
" I see! " Tatsumi exclaimed.
And thus, Tatsumi's training on Fake Mountain, supervised Bulat begin.
🏔️🏔️🏔️
Meanwhile, Gilga is headed towards the outskirts of the capital, precisely towards a snowy rundown village.
' I hope I'm not too late. ' Gilga thought as he dashed towards the village with haste. He is already close to the village
On the other hand, former Prime Minister Chouri's group has encountered three men with black outfit.
" Everyone! We'll deal with them like usual! " A blonde haired girl with blue eyes wearing winter jacket and a large hat said while pointing her spear towards the three people in front of her.
" Let's go! " The girl commanded, and unison, she and her troops pounced towards the three mysterious people.
" Daidara... " Liver said while looking at the incoming troops.
" Aye... ," Daidara said as he takes his axe and swings it horizontally, mercilessly and brutally slashing the incoming troops.
The girl however is lucky to only have her stomach sliced a bit from Daidara's blow. But still, her coat is painted red by her blood, and she falls to the ground on her knee. Behind her are the decapitated lifeless troops.
" Heeee.... Not bad... To think you survived Daidara's blow... " Nyau said as he gets close to the girl. " But... " Nyau said as he takes out his knife. " Considering what I'm going to do with you, I'm definitely sure that you wish you'd been cut in half by Daidara. " Nyau added with a smile, causing the girl to look at her in horror.
" N.. no! " The girl cried out as she keeps dragging herself back, but Nyau doesn't let her go as he leaped and lands on the girl's stomach, causing her to wail in pain as she coughed out mouthful of blood.
" Here I go... " Nyau said as he attempts to skin the girl, but then, someone kicked him on his chest, sending him flying to Daidara.
" Ouch! What the hell Nyau?! " Daidara shouted angrily.
Nyau however doesn't answer as he glares to his front and noticed a masked man with black cloth is lifting Nyau's prey.
" Oi! Who the hell are you?! " Nyau exclaimed in anger. No one has ever disturbed him when he was going to have fun, and today is his first time getting disturbed when he wanted to have fun.
Hearing Nyau's question, the masked man didn't answer and look at the girl.
" Please... Save my... " The girl said, but before she finished her word.
*Splat! *Thud!
The sound from someone getting decapitated can be heard.
The girl look at the carriage's direction and then her face turned into that of despair and horror. Her father's body and head had been separated by Liver.
" NOOOOO!!!!!! Father!!!! " Spear cried out, as she attempted to pounce towards Liver, but the cloaked man hit her back, causing her to lose her consciousness.
" You... Which faction are you from? " Liver asked, but still, the cloaked man doesn't answer as he attempts to leave.
" You think you can leave just like that?! From the look of it, you must worth a lot of experience! " Daidara said as he split his axe and throws one of it towards the cloaked man. " There's no way I'm letting you go! " Daidara sneered, but it doesn't last long as he got kneed on his face by the cloaked man as soon as his axe left his hand.
Not wasting any breath, the cloaked man turn and kicked Nyau while still in the air.
" Guh!!! " Nyau gritted his teeth as he managed to block the cloaked man's kick. But still, even after blocking his kick, Nyau still get pushed back pretty far.
" What's wrong with this guy? He's insanely strong. " Nyau protested as he takes out his Scream.
" Probably a new troublemaker. " Liver said as he takes of his glove, revealing his hand and a ring with blue pearl on it.
' I mustn't waste any more time here. I need to hurry up and tend to her wounds or else she'll die from blood loss. ' the cloaked man thought as he takes out a ball and throws it below his foot, causing smoke to arise.
" Smokescreen? Wa- " Nyau said as he wanted to chase the two, but stopped by Liver.
" What the hell Liver! " Nyau grumbled as he glares at Liver.
" We needn't chase him. Our mission is just to kill the people here. Let's just toss the flyer and head back. " Liver said as he takes out a flyer and toss it around along with Daidara who has his nose broken and Nyau who unwillingly lends a helping hand.
