"Alright, time to write in my diary again today. It's truly addictive!"
Aria's mother walked through the villa's corridor, a gentle smile on her face.
Pfft… A giant pair of scissors suddenly appeared before her eyes, and immediately after, Aria's mother saw her own lower body.
Blood instantly covered the ground beneath her, and a figure in a purple qipao, holding the giant scissors, stared indifferently at the corpse on the ground.
Then, as if remembering something, the figure bowed slightly and softly said:
"My deepest apologies."
Looking out the window, several figures could be seen standing steadily on a thin steel wire, like ghosts.
Behind them, a giant blood moon hung high in the night sky, emitting an eerie dark red light.
It seemed to foreshadow the fate of this family.
"That's!!!"
Tatsumi looked at the figures outside the window in shock, then remembered the assassin organization Aria's family had told him about.
"Night Raid!"
"Because this family is wealthy, they've targeted this place?"
Just then, Tatsumi watched the guards constantly running into the courtyard.
He was also pondering whether he should help or protect Miss Aria.
"Katakuri, what choice do you think this young man will make?"
Rob Lucci expressionlessly asked Katakuri, who was equally expressionless, beside him.
"It's none of my business."
Hearing Katakuri's words, Rob Lucci was instantly choked on what he was about to say.
He thought he was cold enough, but he didn't expect this guy to be even colder than him.
Together, they made him seem like a talkative person.
Sigh, he really missed Kaku and the others. Those guys should be on patrol right now.
"Alright, let's watch the show."
At this moment, Lubbock, squatting on the steel wire, whispered to Akame beside him:
"The three guards are all targets, Akame."
Akame, with her long black hair, raised her cute face, her red eyes filled with indifference.
"Bury…"
After saying that, she leaned back and landed on the ground with a thud.
The three guards looked at the appearing girl, their eyes filled with terror, and their weapon-holding hands trembled.
"Listen up, don't let that sword touch you!"
After saying that, the captain suppressed his fear and charged towards Akame.
Swish… The two crossed paths, and the captain, filled with unwillingness, felt the warmth on his neck.
"For someone rotten to the core like me, is this the retribution I deserve…"
After saying that, the curse took effect, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
The other two, seeing this, screamed in horror:
"Who are these guys? They're monsters!"
After saying that, they turned to flee.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Ah!!!"
"Ah!!!"
After two gunshots, the fleeing guards both fell to the ground.
"How disgraceful, deserting in battle."
Mine, holding her Pumpkin cannon, looked disdainfully at the fallen guards.
Lubbock, on the other hand, twitched his mouth and muttered softly:
"In that situation, most people would run."
Looking at the corpses of the guards below, Tatsumi couldn't help but take a step back, muttering in shock:
"They were all wiped out in an instant?"
"At least I have to protect Miss Aria."
After saying that, Tatsumi turned to look for Aria, hoping to protect this lovely girl from these assassins.
While Tatsumi went to protect Aria, Leone had already executed Aria's father.
"I found her, Miss Aria!"
Tatsumi searched relentlessly and finally found Aria, protected by a guard, in front of a warehouse.
"Tatsumi!!!"
Aria saw Tatsumi and asked loudly, her face filled with surprise.
"You came just in time. We plan to escape into the warehouse and wait for the Security Force to arrive."
"During this time, you will block them."
The guard unhesitatingly planned to sell out Tatsumi to buy them time.
Tatsumi, upon hearing this, retorted with a troubled expression:
"Eh? That's asking too much…"
Whoosh… Just as Tatsumi was in a dilemma, a girl's figure suddenly appeared not far behind him.
Tatsumi turned his head and saw the girl's eyes, and an unspeakable fear welled up inside him.
But remembering Miss Aria, who had taken him in, he forced himself to be brave, pointing his sword at Akame.
"If that's the case, I have no choice but to fight!"
Suddenly, Akame's figure moved rapidly towards Tatsumi.
"Oh no!"
Tatsumi found that he couldn't react at all, watching helplessly as the opponent came before him.
"Not the target!"
Akame merely glanced at him and didn't attack him. Instead, she jumped and stepped on his head, passing over him.
Dodging the guard's shots with horizontal movements, she buried the guard with a single strike.
Then, holding Murasame, she slowly walked to Aria, who was sitting on the ground, and stared down at her.
"Bury!"
Akame raised her right hand, holding Murasame, high. Just as Aria was about to lose her life on the spot, Tatsumi rushed over desperately.
"Stop!!!"
To avoid Tatsumi's attack, Akame involuntarily left her original position, standing a few meters away and softly saying:
"You are not the target. There is no need to kill you."
"But you want to kill this girl, don't you?"
"…"
"Why are these two dawdling? Just go for it, fight!"
"Tatsumi? * 2"
At some point, Ace and others, along with Ieyasu and Sayo, had arrived beside Rob Lucci and the other man.
"You're here. Are these two also mission targets?"
Rob Lucci continued to stare at Tatsumi and Akame, asking in a calm tone.
"Yes, we finally found them. They were so hard to find. Just a name, and who drew the portrait is unknown."
"We should really go to Academy City for further studies."
Ace complained helplessly, and just then, a very cute voice came from beside them.
"I know!"
The group was startled. Someone had appeared before them so silently.
They quickly looked towards the source of the sound, and upon seeing it, they were all greatly shocked.
"Lady Ramiris? * n"
"Hehe!"
Ramiris was seen scratching her little head shyly, giggling foolishly.
"How are you here? Weren't you with Lord Zhong Chen?"
Ace looked at Ramiris's tiny figure and asked in surprise.
"Wuwuwu, I was left behind. A Chen drove off, and after I got lost, I came here and just happened to see you all."
Hearing Ace's question, Ramiris immediately started crying and explaining the situation.
It turned out that after being dropped by the roadside, Ramiris wanted to chase directly, but as she flew, she realized she was lost.
Then she decided to fly higher to get a better view, but after flying into the clouds, a hurricane suddenly blew, carrying her unknown distances away. After that, she just flew around aimlessly.
Then she saw Ace and the others moving.
She had been following them until now, only appearing before everyone.
"This… does indeed sound like something Lord Zhong Chen would do."
The Goblin warrior next to them said softly, looking embarrassed.
"So what are you planning to do now?"
"I plan to follow you all. You have to buy me food. I want dessert!!!"
Hearing Ramiris's words, the group looked at each other, and finally, they could only nod simultaneously.
They couldn't just ignore this little ancestor, could they? If anything were to happen, not to mention Lord Zhong Chen or Lord Rimuru, Principal Toreini alone would be enough trouble for them.
"Lucci, quickly contact Lord Zhong Chen and tell him we found the lost Lady Ramiris."
"Okay…"
