I don't own Akame Ga Kill!!
In Night Raid's hideout.
Lubbock and Leone are standing in front of Akame and report what happened just now.
Akame rises as she slammed her hands on the table with worried face after hearing that Tatsumi and Gilga has been taken by Esdeath.
Mine also takes Pumpkin and about to head out when she's stopped by Leone.
" Wait. Where are you going? " Leone asked.
" To save Tatsu- I mean to save them of course. " Mine said.
" Don't be hasty Mine. " Leone said.
" But... But... " Mine said.
" You needn't be afraid. It's not like she realized your boyfriend is one of us. " Lubbock said.
" W... Who's my boyfriend? " Mine said while blushing. " Furthermore, how can you be sure that she didn't find out that Tatsumi's with Night Raid? " Mine added.
" When she's closing into Tatsumi and Gilga, she doesn't emit any bloodlust or killing intent. " Lubbock said. " That's at least why I think she doesn't find out about it... yet. " Lubbock added, and Mine let out a sigh of relief.
" That being said, to really know what's happening, we have to infiltrate the capital. " Leone said. " But, remembering the heavy security there, it'll be impossible to avoid fighting... And someone might die if we do that. " Leone added.
Akame after hearing this, looks down and starts pondering.
" For the time being, we should move deeper into the mountain. " Akame said.
" I agree. It's just a matter of time before this place gets sniffed out. " Lubbock nodded.
" So, what're we going to do with Tatsumi and Gilga? " Leone asked.
Akame then once again slams her hands on the table while gritting her teeth.
( Table-kun: Huhuhu.... What wrong did I do? I better get flipped than get slammed. )

( Table-kun: .... )
( Author : Satisfied? )
( Table-kun : ╯┬(◣_◢)┬ ╯︵/(.□ . \) ahh~ )
( Table-kun: 😊 )
" ... I wanted to save them. I do. But, we now doesn't have the means to break in and out of the castle. So, rescuing them is impossible... " Akame said.
" But, they're our precious comrade! So, we can still do whatever we can for them! " Akame stated, receiving the nods of the members present.
" Now, let's head to the new base, and we'll think of a way to rescue later. " Akame said.
" Roger! " The Night Raid members said in unison.
______________________________________________
Inside of the castle, the Jaeger's headquarter.
Tatsumi and Gilga is seated while chained with collars on their neck.
When Seryu spots Gilga, she wants to jump on him, but seeing Esdeath carrying him, Seryu quickly banishes the thought as she would look for a good time to talk with him.
" And so, these two are our Jaeger's new members. Gilga and Tatsumi. " Esdeath introduces.
" Ummm.... You dragged in two of the citizens just like that? " Bols asked.
" Huh? Is that a problem? " Esdeath asked. " Besides, now, they won't live in poverty anymore. " Esdeath added.
The Jaeger's members looks at their leader with disbelief. Who would casually bring some citizens inside the castle where the emperor resides besides their leader?
" And, they aren't just extra men for our group either... I feel it! " Esdeath said. The Jaeger's members only look at her with more confusion. What the hell are their leader talking about? What direction is this talking going to? And why do they feel uneasy about what their leader's going to say?
" I'm taking these two as my partners in love. " Esdeath said while blushing.
Everyone is shocked. Gilga is included, as he has never thought that this demoness would actually go as far to take two man for herself.
" Ummm... Why would you want to have two partners? " Wave asked.
" Because I like the two of them? Besides, Run's the one who gave me the idea of taking them. " Esdeath said, causing Run to cough to clear the awkwardness.
" Then, why are they collared? " Wave asked again.
" Huh? Of course because they're going to be my lover. I want them to stand out. " Esdeath said.
" Uh... They look kinda like a pet than a lover if you put the collar on. " Run said with awkward smile, and every Jaeger members nodded in unison.
" ... " Esdeath pondered for a moment.
" ... That's certainly true. Alright. I'll remove it. " Esdeath said and removed the chains and collar on Gilga and Tatsumi.
" By the way, are any of you married or have any lover? If you have more than one, then it's better. " Esdeath said.
In the room, there are three people who raised their hands. Bols, Seryu and... Gilga.
Seryu having a lover is still thinkable, but Bols and Gilga?
Bols is too scary. What kind of normal girl will go out with him? Only the bravest girl can handle this guy.
And Gilga? Esdeath's currently head over heels for him, but he claims that he has a lover? Isn't he afraid enraging the ice demoness.
Seeing this, Esdeath however doesn't mind.
" Then, what's your relationship's status? " Esdeath asked.
" I've been married for six years now. I don't deserve someone as wonderful as that though. " Bols said shyly while using his hand to touch his cheek.
" Is that true Bols-san? " Seryu asked in surprise, and Bols nodded shyly.
" Then, Seryu. How about you? " Esdeath asked.
Hearing this, Seryu feels complicated. She couldn't just say 'That Gilga's my lover'. Who knows what'll happen after that? Getting killed is better, but since she knows her boss, she decided to just say she has a lover.
" I see. Then, do you mind telling me about him? " Esdeath asked, and Seryu panics.
" What happened? Are you perhaps to shy to tell me in front of the others? Maybe we can talk about it in private later. " Esdeath said, and Seryu nodded after letting out sigh of relief.
" Then, why about you Gilga? " Esdeath asked.
" Now I already have 5 women. " Gilga said, causing the people there except Esdeath, Dr.Stylish, since he's a fvcking homo, and Kurome, who's occupied with her snack, to drop their jaw.
' What! He's so young and he already have six lovers?! ' Bols thought enviously.
' Six? How does he manage to do that? Does his stamina knows no bounds? ' Run thought horrified.
' Mom... I learned something new in the capital. It seems like you can have more than one lover in the capital. ' Wave cried inwardly.
' F... F... Five? W... Who? Me... Spear... Who are the other three? ' Seryu thought hardly.
' Five? Just who are they? Sayo-chan... Navia-chan... Who are the other three ' Tatsumi also thought hardly.
" Five? That's a lot. How do you manage? " Esdeath asked out of curiosity.
" Well, that a secret. " Gilga smiled mischievously, and right at this moment, Tatsumi raised his hand.
" What Tatsumi? You also have a lover? " Esdeath asked.
" No... Umm... How do I say this. I am not really interested to be part of or working for the Imperial Court. " Tatsumi said.
" Fufufufu... Looks like it will take a bit of time to train you and make you a little bit obedient. " Esdeath smiled.
" Listen to what people are s- " Tatsumi said angrily.
" REPORTING!! Esdeath-sama! " An Imperial Soldier entered the room and saluted. " As you've ordered, I've finished the report regarding Gyokan Lake! " The soldier informed as he passes a scroll to Esdeath.
" Great. Perfect timing! " Esdeath said happily as she retrieves the scroll, and then the soldier hurriedly left the room.
" You guys! Your first big job has come up! " Esdeath said, but the Jaeger members are all still relaxed, except Wave whose expression turns serious when the word job left Esdeath's mouth.
After that Esdeath unrolls the scroll, revealing a map.
" We've come to learn that there's a fortress near Gyokan Lake which is inhibited by group of bandits. " Esdeath started while pointing at a specific area on the map.
" As expected of groups of shameless bandits! They chose to take refuge on the outskirts of the capital. " Seryu said.
" Umu. We're delaying the search for Night Raid's location, as we need to deal with enemies we can see. " Esdeath said.
" And, if the enemy surrender, then what should we do Esdeath-sama? " Bols asked.
" Humph! Surrender us the tool for weak. And it's nature's course that the weak to be removed from the world. " Esdeath snorted.
" Anyways, I have one thing to say before we move out. " Esdeath suddenly said.
" Each of you will be required to eliminate a few dozens of people. This is the type of things we are going to do starting from today onwards. Are you all fully prepared for that? " Esdeath asked.
" If killing the evildoers will do the citizens good, then there's no way I'm not prepared. Right Koro? " Seryu said, and then looks at Koro. Koro then also looks at Seryu and nods.
" I am a soldier. I follow orders. Even for this kind of work... Even if I have to kill, I won't waver. " Bols said as he picks up a white colored barrel like object.
" I'm the same. " Kurome said as she takes her katana. " This is merely practice at following orders. And this is how I've always thought of this. " Kurome added.
" I... Was able to join the Navy due to the patronage of a certain great man... " Wave said while looking at his sword. " If I were to ask him how I can repay that great favor, he would tell me 'Just do your best and fight for the sake of your country, that's all you need to do'. So I can do this! Even if my life is on the line! " Wave said seriously as he places his sword on his back.
" For the sake of making my desire come to fruition, I wish to rise higher and higher. " Run said and closes his book before extending it. " Even if it means I can't do the most purest of deeds. Seen in that way, I wish nothing more than proceeding with this mission. " Run added.
" So, what about you doctor? " Esdeath asked while looking at Stylish who's eying her from the beginning.
" Hmm... My guiding principle is quite simple... And that's the pursuit of STYLE!! " Stylish said enthusiastically. " So, do you understand? " Stylish asked Esdeath.
" Nope. Not the slightest clue... By that, I mean not at all. " Esdeath said dryly.
" From the moment I saw Esdeath-sama, I knew it... That unfathomable strength!! That ice-like cruelty!! Ah!! It's as if a goddess had descended from heaven! " Stylish said while twirling.
" That style is without equal!! I wanted nothing more but to study you!! " Stylish said while kneeling and losing as if he is facing something shiny.
Hearing his comments, Esdeath looks at him with ' I still don't understand what you mean ' expression.
" I see. No doubts among you all then... That's good enough. " Esdeath said.
" Then, it's time to move out! " Esdeath said as she leaves. " Let's go Tatsumi, Gilga. " Esdeath added.
" Eh...? Me too?! " Tatsumi said in surprise.
" Well, as our newest member, it'll be good for you to see the abilities of your fellow teammates. " Esdeath said while puffing her chest. " And where's Gilga? " Esdeath asked while looking for Gilga.
" Don't boss me. I am not following anyone's order. And I don't like to be at the back. " Gilga snorted while walking in front of the Jaeger members.
And so, Gilga, Tatsumi and the Jaeger heads towards Gyokan Lake for bandit hunting.
