After Tatsumi followed Koujo Shizuka into his room, he asked his question, especially his doubts about Akame.
"You met Akame!" Uncharacteristically, Koujo Shizuka's voice rose significantly, and from her eyes, one could see her anger towards the Akame she spoke of.
"Uh, yeah." Koujo Shizuka's change made Tatsumi feel a bit uncomfortable. Did he ask the wrong thing?
"Akame is the General's sister." After a long time, Koujo Shizuka said.
I also know this, I knew it just by looking at their faces, Tatsumi really wanted to say these words, but looking at Koujo Shizuka's expression, he found he couldn't say it.
"Actually, I don't know too much about Akame either." Koujo Shizuka was clearly unwilling to say much more, and finally, she bowed to Tatsumi again.
"Eh? What are you doing!" Tatsumi was startled again.
"You are called Tatsumi, right?" Koujo Shizuka straightened up, stared into Tatsumi's eyes, and said, "I would like to ask you for a favor."
"Eh? Just say it directly, as long as you don't bow to me again." Honestly, Tatsumi was a bit scared by Koujo Shizuka.
Koujo Shizuka was taken aback, then her expression softened, and she nodded. "I understand."
"Then, tell me what it is?" Tatsumi also showed a smile.
"Hmm, I finally understand why the General brought you back." Koujo Shizuka squinted her eyes, her voice a bit soft.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing." Koujo Shizuka shook her head and said, "I hope you can work hard."
"That goes without saying." Tatsumi nodded. He came here to save his village, and now he even had to save the Empire, how could he not work hard?
"Hmm, I hope Lord Tatsumi can try his best not to let the General do any missions, especially those that involve bloodshed." Although Koujo Shizuka said this, she also knew it was almost impossible. Were there any of their missions that didn't involve bloodshed?
"Eh? Why?" Tatsumi was a bit confused. Wasn't the General's strength very high? Why be like this?
"Because if the General sees blood now, she will be very painful." Koujo Shizuka said, looking at Tatsumi with some anticipation. "So, I'm counting on you."
"Hmm!" Tatsumi also couldn't imagine that the General, who was so strong in his eyes, would have such a side. However, Tatsumi was still a bit curious. "Painful means? Will her strength decrease?"
Koujo Shizuka shook her head. "No, the General is invincible. If she sees blood, her strength might even increase, but for the next few days, the General probably won't be able to eat..."
"Won't be able to eat?" Tatsumi's expression was exaggerated. What kind of pain was this? But suddenly, Tatsumi thought of Kaede's eating manner in that hotel, and he suddenly understood a little. He nodded vigorously at Koujo Shizuka. "I understand!"
"Hmm, thank you! Lord Tatsumi!"
"Um, could you not call me 'Lord'? Just call me Tatsumi." Tatsumi scratched his head and said.
"Pfft!" Koujo Shizuka laughed, covered her mouth, and then nodded. "I understand, Tatsumi. Is that better?"
"Hmm, completely better!" Tatsumi laughed.
"Then, I won't disturb your rest." Koujo Shizuka said.
"Ah, alright." Tatsumi watched Koujo Shizuka walk out, then looked at his room. It was big, but also very empty. Thinking of Koujo Shizuka's words, Tatsumi felt that perhaps there would be some very good companions.
And after closing Tatsumi's door, a cold look appeared in Koujo Shizuka's eyes.
Akame, it's all because of you that the General has become like this.
As her maid, she knew best. When they were at the border, there was almost no time when the General didn't see blood, so during that period, the General almost relied on nutrient solution to supplement her body directly.
At first, she thought nothing of it, but later Koujo Shizuka learned that the General she admired most was actually a foodie. Yes, a foodie.
Then she cooked for the General. At first it was fine; at that time there was no bloodshed. But later, after resolving a small ethnic group.
Koujo Shizuka still remembered the General's appearance at that time, as if she could vomit everything in her body...
Akame! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how would the General have been dispatched there, how would she have received such a mission, and how would such sequelae have appeared?
Koujo Shizuka also knew that if the General hadn't gone there, she wouldn't have met the General either. But Koujo Shizuka now felt that she would rather not meet the General than see the General in pain.
"Akame! Akame!!" Koujo Shizuka gritted her teeth, her fists clenched tightly, and walked step by step towards her room. It was estimated that another person would fall into insomnia tonight.
The next morning, in Kaede's villa, all the people gathered together.
Mainly because Tatsumi arrived too late yesterday, almost everyone was sleeping. Now, Tatsumi officially entered their sights.
"Um, hello everyone." Tatsumi could be considered to have opened his eyes to his seniors' names, and sure enough, he was still a bit reserved.
"How is your strength?" Nahash didn't care about that and asked Kaede. He needed to know everyone's strength to better allocate missions. Hmm, Kaede handed this task to Nahash; after all, it could be considered his old job.
"Hmm." Kaede nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be about the same as Chikushi."
Chikushi! Tatsumi knew her. He originally thought that the Leone he met at the beginning was the most luxurious lineup. He didn't expect to meet someone even more powerful here!
However, my strength is about the same as Senior Chikushi! Tatsumi nodded happily.
"Um, sorry, Tatsumi, I am currently logistics personnel..." Chikushi said embarrassedly.
"Uh!" Immediately, Tatsumi's figure turned gray. Was he really this weak? He could only compare to a logistics person...
"Is that so? That's fine." Nahash knew that Chikushi's strength was actually quite good, but it was just that Chikushi's personality had some problems, causing her physical strength not to be fully exerted. However, for Tatsumi, this problem shouldn't exist.
Then, he could also safely hand over some missions to Tatsumi.
"Tatsumi." Kaede said to Tatsumi.
"Hmm?" Tatsumi came back to his senses and looked at Kaede.
"Next, you should study hard with Nahash. Nahash is very strong, you know~" Kaede squinted her eyes, and she was not joking.
The fact that Nahash could become the strongest of the Elite Group showed his great strength. If they had to rank by strength at that time, Kaede was first, Nahash was definitely second, and it would be hard for Akame to even rank third.
Now, Kaede didn't know what state Nahash's strength had reached, but it was definitely very strong.
"Hmm! I understand!" Tatsumi's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Nahash.
"Then, you have to be prepared." Nahash also showed a smile. Under his command, don't think about slacking off or anything being easy.
As the captain, he always had to consider the safety of his subordinates. In order for Tatsumi's future missions to be smoother, he would also train Tatsumi without reservation!
As for hiding something, there was no such thing.
Kaede watched all this, watching them go to train, and also smiled. Although the number of people was still small, their little group could be considered to have started operating~
It was just a pity that Guy's body was already ruined, and Coelle, after knowing that Gozuki had also sacrificed himself, was clearly unwilling to fight and lived with the ruined Guy.
If they had no problems at that time, they would definitely be two very powerful combat forces.
Hmm, today is also a peaceful day... Kaede leaned on the recliner, feeling a pair of small hands kneading her back. She didn't open her eyes. She was a bit tired; she hadn't rested yesterday, so she should rest for a while.
"Thank you, Shizuka..." Kaede's voice grew smaller and smaller, and she fell completely asleep under Koujo Shizuka's massage.
"I'm very happy to be able to do these for you~" Koujo Shizuka also felt Kaede's fatigue, and the movements of her hands became much gentler.
