The World of Akame ga Kill

❁❁❁❁

The Imperial Capital, a city steeped in a thousand years of history, was rotting from within. Its apparent prosperity masked a corrupt and hellish reality, a den of vipers and demons in human form. This was a dark world, where the assassin group Night Raid fought against the Empire's tyranny.

[Night Raid Headquarters]

Najenda, the leader of Night Raid, had gathered all the members in the meeting room.

"Settle down, everyone. I'd like to introduce you to some new members!" she announced with a smile.

The door opened, and a young man and two girls entered.

The young man, around sixteen or seventeen years old, had short silver hair and strikingly handsome features. His golden eyes shone with an unusual brilliance, and he carried himself with an air of elegance and nobility. He was quite the dashing young fellow.

The Night Raid members were captivated by his presence.

The girl beside him was equally striking. She had long purple hair that reached her waist, delicate and beautiful features, and a tall, slender figure. She held a long sword in her hand.

Her attire reminded the others of Akame, and they couldn't help but glance at her.

The last one had long pink hair, wore headphones, and had a lollipop in her mouth. She had a curvy figure and exuded a cheerful aura.

"This is Roy, this is Saeko, and this is Chelsea," Najenda introduced them. "They've been sent from above to join Night Raid."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Roy said with a slight smile, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

He and Saeko had arrived in this world yesterday.

However, they had materialized in a northern town. Roy's first objective was to join Night Raid.

After all, he intended to make some of the girls in Night Raid his servants.

He and Saeko had sought out the Revolutionary Army headquarters and used magic to control the leader.

As a Devil, Roy had access to various mind-control spells.

Normal humans were no match for his magic.

Roy then instructed the Revolutionary Army leader to arrange for him and Saeko to join Night Raid.

He also had Chelsea reassigned to their team.

Along the way, Roy and Saeko had gotten to know Chelsea.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Saeko and Chelsea echoed Roy's greeting.

"Up close, Akame is even cuter!" Chelsea exclaimed, approaching Akame with interest.

She playfully twirled Akame's hair and patted her head.

Akame blushed at her bold actions.

"What are you doing?" she mumbled, flustered.

Akame had long black hair that reached her hips, crimson eyes, an unyielding gaze, and beautiful features. Despite her love for food, she had a slender figure. She was an adorable girl who often used the phrase "eliminate" during battles.

"I'm Chelsea. Let's get along, fellow assassin," Chelsea said with a grin.

Joining a new team, it was natural to try to fit in quickly.

Chelsea had chosen Akame as her target. During their time in the Revolutionary Army, Akame was the only one who had completed a similar number of missions as Chelsea.

She had some understanding of Akame's personality.

"Here, this is for you." Chelsea offered Akame a lollipop with a playful smile.

Akame's eyes lit up at the sight of the lollipop. She snatched it eagerly.

"Welcome to Night Raid!" Mine and Leone chuckled, amused by how easily Akame had been won over.

"Hahaha, since we're comrades now, I can't be stingy either" Roy said with a laugh.

He held out his hand, and a blue magic circle appeared in mid-air.

He reached into the magic circle and pulled out a platter of roasted chicken.

The Night Raid members were stunned by this magical display.

This was Storage magic, a technique Roy had recently learned.

It was similar to a spatial ring, allowing him to store items.

Roy had stored quite a few goodies inside.

"Akame, this is for you," Roy said, offering her the roasted chicken.

The golden, crispy chicken emitted an enticing aroma.

Akame couldn't resist. She snatched the chicken, her speed leaving an afterimage.

"Welcome to Night Raid, Roy!" she exclaimed, clearly prioritizing the meat over Chelsea's lollipop.

Akame was a true carnivore.

"Damn it! They've completely figured out Akame's weakness!" Lubbock grumbled.

Lubbock was a young man with green hair who wielded the Teigu "Cross Tail."

"Haha, don't worry, I have something for you all too," Roy reassured them, pulling out more gifts from the magic circle.

"Mine, this is for you." He handed her a beautifully packaged bottle of milk.

Mine was a tsundere girl with pink pigtails who wielded the Teigu "Pumpkin."

"What's this?" Mine asked curiously, intrigued by the exquisite packaging.

"It's delicious milk. Drink it, and you'll grow up quickly," Roy said with a smile, patting Mine's head.

Mine's face darkened.

She looked down at her flat chest, clearly misunderstanding his words.

"You jerk! Explain what you mean by 'grow up quickly'!" she shouted, pointing at Roy accusingly.

"Haha, Mine, don't misunderstand. If you don't like it, I can exchange it for something else," Roy said, reaching for the milk.

Mine quickly hid the bottle behind her back.

"Hmph! You can't take back a gift once you've given it!" she retorted.

She had already been tempted by the sweet smell of the milk and wasn't about to give it back.

"I'm glad you like it," Roy chuckled.

'Another tsundere with pink pigtails,' he thought, amused.

Just like Saya, he had a soft spot for this personality type.

Roy then gave everyone a gift, even Najenda.

"Eh? There's something for me too?" Chelsea asked in surprise, looking at the gift Roy offered, then at him.

This guy was even more prepared than her.

She had only planned to win over Akame to quickly integrate into the team.

But Roy had considered everyone.

'This person is not simple,' she thought.

Roy smiled as everyone happily accepted his gifts.

They were mostly snacks, drinks, and small toys.

Nothing too expensive, so the Night Raid members readily accepted them.

It seemed his first step towards his goal was a success.

Roy wanted the girls of Night Raid to become his servants, but he wouldn't force them.

To make them willingly join his peerage, he had to go through trials and tribulations with them.

Only then would they truly acknowledge him and accept his offer.

And the first step was to build a good relationship with them.

"Roy, judging by how you took those things out of thin air, do you possess a spatial-type Teigu?" Najenda asked, voicing the question everyone was curious about.

"Something like that," Roy replied with a smile. "But it can only store items."

"Eh... that's still amazing!" Leone exclaimed.

"Actually, I specialize in swordsmanship," Roy said, patting the sword at his waist.

"Oh? In that case, you'll be partnered with Akame for now," Najenda decided.

She then looked at Saeko and Chelsea.

"Saeko, you'll be partnered with Sheele."

"Chelsea, I believe you're no stranger to assassination missions."

"But Chelsea doesn't seem like an assassin," Lubbock commented skeptically.

"Don't judge a book by its cover, Lubbock. Chelsea has completed a similar number of missions as Akame. She's quite skilled," Najenda explained.

The Night Raid members were surprised.

Chelsea puffed out her chest proudly, enjoying the praise.

Others might not know, but Roy was aware of Chelsea's abilities.

Her Teigu was "Gaea Foundation," a cosmetic-type Teigu.

However, it was more like a transformation tool than just makeup.

Using her Teigu, Chelsea could completely change her appearance, including her height, build, voice, and even her movements.

Unless someone knew her very well, it was impossible to see through her disguise.

In the original story, Chelsea had used this Teigu to infiltrate enemy territory, disguising herself as someone they trusted.

Then, she would deliver a fatal blow when they least expected it. Her track record was impressive.

Unfortunately, she had met a tragic end, beheaded by Kurome, her head displayed on a flagpole.

Roy glanced at Chelsea with a strange expression.

Chelsea, noticing his gaze, looked at him curiously.

Roy simply smiled without saying anything.

"Alright, everyone, get to know each other. We'll assign missions tomorrow," Najenda announced before leaving.

...

Roy and Akame were partnered for their first mission.

Their first task was to prepare lunch for the Night Raid headquarters. Fortunately, Roy was a decent cook.

With the seasonings he had brought from the High School DxD world and his unique cooking methods, he prepared a feast that left everyone wanting more.

Akame, the resident glutton, was especially impressed with Roy's culinary skills.

In the afternoon, Akame took him to a river to catch fish.

Standing by a waterfall, Akame started to undress without a word.

"Wait, Akame, are you going to catch fish?" Roy asked, stopping her.

"Yes," Akame replied with a nod.

"Then leave the fishing to me." Roy puffed out his chest, ready to show off his skills.

He extended his hand towards the river.

A blue magic hand emerged from his palm and plunged into the water.

When he withdrew his hand, it was filled with dozens of tuna.

Roy then stored the fish in his Storage magic.

Akame was stunned by this effortless fishing method.

"Amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Hahaha, it's nothing," Roy replied with a wave of his hand.

"Now, it's time for meat!" Akame declared, leading Roy into the forest.

They had caught fish. Now, it was time to hunt for meat.

Dangerous Beasts often roamed this forest.

Soon, they encountered a giant boar, five to six meters tall.

Judging by its size, it was at least a Class 2 Danger Beast.

It stood before them like a small hill.

"Be careful. I'm going in!" Akame warned Roy before charging towards the boar.

She couldn't use her Teigu, "Murasame," for hunting, as it was cursed with a deadly poison.

Akame drew a short sword and leaped onto the boar's back, slashing at its neck.

Thwack!

Blood splattered.

A long gash appeared on the boar's neck.

However, such a wound was insignificant to the massive creature.

It ignored Akame and charged forward.

"Roy, get out of the way!" Akame shouted urgently.

The boar was charging straight towards Roy, who had been standing still.

❁❁❁❁

Boom!

The boar crashed into the spot where Roy had been standing.

Dust and debris filled the air.

"Roy!" Akame cried out, her eyes wide with disbelief. She couldn't believe that Roy, her new comrade, had just been killed.

Tears streamed down her face.

"Akame, why are you crying?"

The dust settled, revealing an unbelievable sight. The giant boar lay dead on the ground, and Roy stood unharmed.

Roy had intended to show off a bit, but he hadn't expected Akame to cry.

He quickly reassured her.

"Akame, don't cry. See, I'm fine! Not a scratch."

Roy patted his chest to emphasize his lack of injuries.

However, Akame didn't believe him.

She started checking him for injuries, her expression serious.

Roy could only let her do as she pleased.

After a thorough examination, Akame finally relaxed, her face flushed.

Relieved that Roy was unharmed, she was embarrassed by her bold actions.

"Don't be so reckless next time. You could have died," she scolded.

Roy listened obediently.

There's nothing in this world that can kill me, he thought with amusement.

He then took out a plate of Peking duck from his Storage magic.

Akame's eyes lit up at the sight of the delicious dish, her scolding forgotten.

Roy chuckled and handed her the Peking duck.

Akame accepted it without hesitation and started eating.

This tactic is quite effective, Roy thought.

He took the opportunity to pat Akame's head while she was distracted by the food.

Akame didn't seem to mind his touch and continued eating.

Roy grew bolder, petting Akame like a cat.

Her long, smooth hair felt nice to the touch.

Once Akame finished eating, Roy stored the boar's carcass in his Storage magic.

They returned to the Night Raid headquarters.

When Roy retrieved the boar, Leone, Mine, Sheele, and the others gathered around.

"Wow, Akame, well done! You hunted such a huge Danger Beast today," Mine praised, patting Akame's shoulder.

"No, I didn't kill it," Akame replied, shaking her head.

"Eh? If not you, then who?" Mine asked in surprise.

"Roy killed it," Akame said, pointing at him.

"What?!" The Night Raid members were stunned.

No one doubted Akame's words.

"Haha, it seems our new member is quite strong!" Leone exclaimed with a hearty laugh.

She approached Roy and slung an arm around his neck.

"Well done! Leone-san will protect you from now on!"

Roy couldn't resist the enthusiastic hug from the big sisterly Leone.

Leone had beautiful blonde hair and golden eyes. She was a cheerful and busty woman.

Her Teigu was "Lionel," which transformed her into a blonde, beast-eared, and even bustier warrior.
