[The Plot has commenced.]
'Primis: So, its time. Huh.'
VROOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Increasing the speed of Lux Cycle Primis started thinking of his next course of action.
'Primis: Hmm. Since the plot has started this means Natsuki Subaru must currently be in the convenience store of his world. He will arrive in a few minutes.'
[Shouldn't you hurry?]
'Primis: Not really. It will be the night when Subaru and Emilia will die. It's also when he will gain his "Return by Death" power.'
Saying this, Primis raised his head and looked at the sun that had risen high in the sky.
[It's two hours since morning.]
'Primis: Yeah.'
Then he continued moving towards his destination.

The "Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica", also known as the "Kingdom of Lugunica", is one of the world's Four Great Nations. It is also where the beginning arcs of the Plot will take place. It is a monarchy, historically run by the now-extinct Lugunican Royal Family. It borders, in one way or another, the other three Great Nations.
Lugunica is a geographically large nation with a massive population of approximately 50 million individuals, with its territories able to support multiple environments and multiple climates. It is home to many races and ethnic groups and the nation's history spans at least one thousand years. It celebrates its nominal day of foundation on the 25th of the in-universe month, Marshba. The closest person to being the head of state in the absence of the monarch is Miklotov McMahon, who has worked in a position of high office for the greater part of forty years.
Despite economic recovery and relative peace and stability across most of the country, the contemporary Lugunica is negatively characterized by internal strife, racial tension, economic hardship among the disadvantaged, desperation for new decisive leadership by both the public and the ailing transitional government, and more recently, religious cult extremism and terrorism.
The Royal Capital, the city of Lugunica, is located inside a complex of Five Great Cities centered around the capital, forming the approximate shape of a pentagon. The Royal Capital is divided into five circular layers, which are also known as districts, and the five districts are organized top down much like a feudal structure.
· The highest and first layer is traditionally the land of the royalty, with the Council of Wise Men and the most important nobles being the only ones who are permitted to live there.
· The second layer, also known as the Nobles' District, is dominated by the nobility and the wealthy, being the area where more well-known Houses such as Juukulius House, usually sport their manors and villas.
· The third layer is dedicated primarily towards economic and commercial purposes.
· The fourth layer is the residences of the average citizenry.
· The last or fifth layer is the residences for impoverished people. This district is fittingly named the Poor District.
The country contains several regions where mountains and hills are common, with the most prominent peaks located in the Royal Capital region. The country is expansive enough that it can support a wide range of different environments, from large temperate forests to Mediterranean climate regions to desert areas with sand dunes. Lugunica, in reality, doesn't seem to be all that big of a nation, considering the travel distances by foot, but since the author didn't explain in detail, any attempts to estimate the size of the kingdom are simply impossible.
The majority of Lugunica are human, but there is also a large minority of Demi-Humans, or humanoids with animal-like features to varying degrees. Demi-Humans have historically been oppressed by the majority of humans and tension leads to outbreaks of rebellions. Although Demi-Humans typically inhabit the eastern, mountainous, and rural areas of the country, there are sizable populations of minorities in the cities.

[Lugunica is also referred to as the "Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica", having prospered in the past due to the covenant with the Dragon. As all known members of the royal family are now deceased, martial law is currently in effect, with the Council of Wise Men taking over the role of government for the time being. In accordance with the prophetical Dragon Tablet, five young women have been selected as candidates to become the Dragon Maiden and the elected monarch.]
'Primis: Five Candidates. Crusch Karsten, Anastasia Hoshin, Priscilla Barielle, Felt, and..............................Emilia.'
[.........…Yeah. What you plan to do?]
'Primis: .........…'
[Your ambition is a lot bigger. I knew you planned to rule both Danmachi and Akame ga Kill world. In other words, no matter which world you went or will go to, you definitely plan to rule that world. It includes this world too, right?]
'Primis: .........…. Right. And it will start with this Kingdom.'
[So, I was right. I know you won't tell me details. But mind giving me a hint.]
Primis remained silent for some time before speaking.
'Primis: The best and fastest way to rule this Kingdom then the entire world is..................by controlling all the five candidates.'
[All Five. Huh. I also agree with that. But how?]
'Primis: You will know.'
[I see.]
Both became silent again. Primis was currently walking down the streets of the Lugunica. There were many different people of different races that were also walking on the streets. Of course, there were humans too. There were many carriages that were being driven by the Earth Dragons. Many shopkeepers and vendors were interacting with the citizens. If Primis didn't know the dark side of this world, then he would have thought that it was a very peaceful world.
As Primis was walking with his hands in his jacket pockets, almost everyone was looking at him. Due to his looks of course. The second reason was his clothes. They had never seen someone wearing these types of clothes before. Nevertheless, these clothes suits Primis perfectly and hence it was attracting more attention.
Since Primis was long used to people looking at him, he ignored their gazes and continued walking.
Celebi: bi...bi…...bi.
And here comes the last reason why he was getting attention. Celebi. Once arriving here, Primis let Celebi out. Now currently, Celebi was flying here and there looking at people and the things they were buying and selling with curious expressions. Can't be helped since this was the first time it had seen different races. And not to forget they are in a different world. This also made it curious about what people of other worlds eat or sell.
Celebi cuteness and aura also attracted the attention. Just by being near it, people started to relax, and happiness appeared on their faces. They knew that Celebi was Primis contracted spirit because from time-to-time it will go back to him to ask about the things it didn't know about. Everyone had smiles on their faces as they saw the interaction between the two of them.
Even though they can see the coldness in Primis eyes which prevents anyone from approaching him, however, whenever those eyes looked at Celebi, the coldness in them reduced somewhat.
[Really. Wherever Celebi goes, its kindness and innocence always make it hard for people to hate it.]
'Primis: It's because of the nature power it has.'
[Yup. The same way as...............]
Twilight stopped her sentence in the middle. She realized that she said something she shouldn't have. Still, Primis continued from where she left.
'Primis: The same way as Sheng Ming.'
[............]
'Primis: I completely agree on that. Her gentleness and aura also attract people towards her.'
[I am sorry.]
Primis sighed hearing this.
'Primis: It's fine. Just don't brought their names again...............It makes me miss them more.'
[Then why don't you----]
'Primis: No. I need some time alone. I will meet them again once I will return to "Akame ga Kill" world.'
[...............Ok.]
<< Celebi: Master, are you ok? >>
Celebi had appeared by Primis' side while he was talking with Twilight. It didn't know why but it saw sadness in Primis' eyes for a split second. Others might not notice it, but Celebi saw it clearly. Seeing the worried expression on Celebi face, he shook his head.
Primis: It's nothing.
Said Primis before extending his hand forward and started patting it's head. Celebi closed its eyes and leaned its head towards Primis hand. It really enjoyed his patting.
A few seconds later, Primis removed his hand. Celebi started to fly around again. It saw some pots that were placed near the windows and at entrance of the houses and shops. It flew towards them and touched them one time.
SHINE!!!
Some light shines before all flowers bloomed on them.
GASP!!!!
Everyone gasped witnessing this.
Demi-Human: A-Amazing.
Human: H-How could this b-be?
Elf: I can feel the power of nature from it. Looks like it's not a normal spirit but a very strong nature spirit.
Beast-Human: B-But from what I have heard and read. Nature spirit only makes contract with pure hearted people. Could it be?
Elf: Are you dumb? This clearly means that that boy has a pure heart.
Dwarf: Unbelievable.
Human: Indeed. Looking at his cold eyes, I thought that boy had killed a lot in his life.
Wolfin: Haven't you heard "Don't judge book by its cover"?
Half-Elf: I agree. Look at how happy his spirit is with him. It clearly shows that he also has a very kind heart.
Human: I guess you're right.
People started talking among themselves. At this time, Celebi flew towards the vendors who were selling fruits. It looked at them one by one and finally picked up a berry before flying back towards Primis.
<< Celebi: Master, this berry is very sweet and juicey. Try it. >>
Primis looked at the small red berry in Celebi's hand before opening his mouth and eating it whole.
CRUNCH!!!
CRUNCH!!!!
CRUNCH!!!!
CRUNCH!!!!
GLUP!!!
Primis: Yes, it's good.
Celebi looked at Primis action for some time before started giggling. It then flew towards the same vendor again and picked up another berry and started eating. Primis reached that vendor by now. He took out 10-copper coins from his pocket and gave them to him.
Primis: Pack some for me.
Vendor: R-Right away, sir.
The vendor that had been looking at Celebi with smile on his face snapped out of his thoughts and started packing them. Once done, he gave the packet to Primis.
Vendor: Here, sir. Thank you, please come again.
Primis only nodded before leaving the place. Celebi flew sat on his right-shoulder. Once it did so, Primis opened the packet, took one berry out and gave it to Celebi. Then he also took out one for himself and started eating too.
After walking around for some time, Primis entered an alley. He kept on walking, took some turns before stopping. Next, he leaned on one of the houses.
Primis: Celebi, look at the alley behind the City Block I am leaning against. And make sure you remain hidden.
<< Celebi: Ok. >.
Doing as told. Celebi left Primis' right shoulder and flew towards the location. Reaching the location, it stopped and looked at everything.
<< Primis: What do you see? >>
<< Celebi: There are four humans. But three of them are grouped together and are beating a kid. >>
<< Primis: What's that kid appearance? Or what is he wearing? >>
<< Celebi: He is wearing some kind of tracksuit. That's surprising. I never thought there would be people who wear clothes of the future. >>
<< Primis: Hmm. I see. >>
'Primis: So, you are finally here. Natsuki Subaru.'
<< Celebi: Should I save him? >>
<< Primis: No, let him be. I want you to do something else. >>
<< Celebi: What is it? >>
<< Primis: Connect me with his time-axis. >>
<< Celebi: With his time-axis? >>
<< Primis: Yes. Can you do it? >>
<< Celebi: Mn. I can. It's quite easy than going or taking someone to the past or future. >>
<< Primis: Then, do it fast. Also make sure no one saw and sensed you. >>
<< Celebi: Ok. >>
Replied Celebi before putting its attention entirely on the beaten Natsuki Subaru. Its eyes started to glow. Soon that light appeared on both Primis and Natuski Subaru. However, since the glow only appeared for a second. The thugs that were beating Subaru thought it was just their eyes planning tricks.
SPLASH!!!!!!!!
The sound of the river reverberated in Primis ears.
<< Primis: Well, done. Now, hurry up return. >>
<< Celebi: Ok. >>
Celebi then flew back to Primis. Now that the thing he came here for was done, he decided to go to the next location. However, the moment he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful silver-haired girl entering the alley from the corner of his eyes. Still, he decided not to wait and left without giving it a single glance.

Night.
Primis was currently walking through the 5th District or Poor District. Celebi was moving its head here and there and looking at everything with curiosity. As he was walking through the slums, Primis saw a man walking towards him. Just when that man was about to pass him, Primis stopped him.
Primis: You there.
Man: Huh? M-Me, sir?
Primis: Yes, you.
Man: H-How may I h-help you?
The Man gulped in nervousness. Seeing Primis' looks and his clothes which appeared completely new. The man thought Primis was a noble. And looking at the coldness in his eyes and some kind of sword on his back, fear appeared in man's eyes. He gulped hoping what Primis was about to ask was something he could answer, otherwise, his head would definitely roll on the ground.
Primis: Is there a place where one can do any kind of bartering?
Man: Huh? Yes. Yes. Yes, there is. You can check "Stolen Goods Warehouse".
Primis: "Stolen Goods Warehouse". Huh.
Man: Y-Yes. It's a warehouse run by an O-Old man. But don't underestimate him. He is a giant and has a lot of battle experience.
Primis: I see. Anything else I need to know.
Man: Hmm..................Oh yeah. Don't drink there. He serves shitty drinks.
Primis: I see. Here.
Said Primis before throwing a gold coin at him. The Man eyes started shinny as he grabbed the coin. By the time he turned, Primis was no longer there. The man became confused and started scratching his head. However, the gold coin in his hand attracted his attention again. So, he decided to forget about Primis and hurriedly left.
On the other hand, Primis was now standing in front of "Stolen Goods Warehouse". Celebi which was sitting on his right shoulder had a serious expression on its face.
<< Primis: You sensed the danger, didn't you? >>
<< Celebi: Yes, master. >>
Primis then walked forward. He directly opened the door without knocking.
CREAK!!!!
The door made a sound as Primis entered. The room was pitch black, but he didn't mind since he could still see everything clearly. There he saw a body of an Old Man and a young girl that was completely eviscerated and carved out. The creepy thing was that both bodies had their bowels removed.
Primis then continued moving forward. There he saw a black figure standing near two bodies. They were Natsuki Subaru and Emilia. Both had their stomachs and bowels cut open.
Ignoring the Black Figure, Primis approached them. Natsuki Subaru was still alive and was begging for help. Nevertheless, Primis remained indifferent to his call.
Killer: Oh. We have a new visitor. A Handsome one on top.
Hearing the voice, one can guess that the Killer was a woman. However, the black cloak covering her was serving as good camouflage in this dark room. Still, Primis ignored her since he already knew who she was.
Natsuki Subaru: S-save m---
Then he died on the spot.
Killer: Will you like to become my next victi----
CRACK!!!!
Before she could complete her sentence, time and space distorted. The sound of cracking glass was heard as the Primis surrounding crumbled away and everything became black.
Witnessing this, Primis sighed.
Primis: It was a success.
But then he heard something behind.
???: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I gave that power to you, NOT HIM. WHY DID HE RECEIVE IT INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
