I love time travel the most!

"Really?"

"Xiao Lin...?"

"Sorry, I'm late."

Kobayashi supported Kurohime while secretly using his skills to heal her condition, allowing her to breathe steadily.

Lan arrived shortly after and was visibly taken aback when he saw Chelsea with his head severed.

"Kobayashi, how did you find out?"

"Because Will doesn't have that much emotional intelligence, and she was too proactive; her intention to make a move on Kurohime was too obvious."

Will is a simple and good boy, but it is undeniable that it would be absolutely impossible for him to learn how to please girls in such a short time.

Therefore, he must be someone else in disguise.

Furthermore, Kobayashi received information that Chelsea had disappeared midway through the journey, and it was easy to figure out her purpose.

But where is the real Will?

"Everyone! Where are you?!" Will's voice came from the hall.

What a coincidence!

Are you a security guard?!

Oh, you're a guard? That's alright then.

When Will arrived at Kurohime's room, he was clearly startled by what he saw.

Only after he explained did everyone learn the whole story.

It turns out that Chelsea arrived at the Hunters first, disguised herself as Black Eyes, tricked Will into leaving, and then transformed into Will to carry out the assassination plan against Black Eyes.

Is she bold and meticulous, or is she out of her mind? What makes her so confident that she could carry out an assassination in the Hunter's camp and then think she could get away unscathed?

Could it be that when she assassinated Polus and Seryu before, she got the illusion that I could carry?

"Will, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself."

Kobayashi said to him, "Go help Kurohime to rest, I'll clean up here."

"Ah, yes!"

Will helped Black Eyes walk away.

This time, however, the two of them were not as close as before, and Black Eyes even deliberately avoided Will's touch.

Chelsea, you've done so many bad things.

but……

As agreed, from now on you belong entirely to me.

that's all.

Chapter 84 Let us embrace the goddess of wisdom together.

Esdeath returned two days later.

"How could something like this happen while I was gone?!"

Esdeath's eyes were cold and her voice was low; she was already enraged.

Clearly, even she hadn't expected the thieves to be so brazen, actually venturing into their own base to carry out an assassination.

Even though it ultimately resulted in her being killed, Esdeath still couldn't quell her anger.

Where is the thief?

"died."

"Where's the body?"

"Xiao Lin took care of it."

Ran answered Esdeath's question in detail.

Just then, Xiaolin returned from outside.

Esdeath asked, "Kobayashi, what happened to the thief's body?"

"Buried?"

Xiaolin tilted his head, pretending to be thinking.

Esdeath frowned and angrily scolded, "Burying her is too lenient! She should be cut into pieces and hung on the city wall for those thieves to see!"

"Uh... definitely next time."

Xiaolin scratched his head.

Esdeath wanted to use Chelsea's corpse to intimidate the villains, but Kobayashi got there first and disposed of her.

I always felt that she had a bit too much of a temper.

Has something happened?

Lan asked curiously, "By the way, Captain, what brings you to the palace this time?"

“It was that guy Sheila who sent the minister to summon me.” Esdeath adjusted her hat and said somewhat sullenly, “Because he devised a plan to capture members of the Night Raid, and to prevent any accidents, he sent General Bud and me to guard the area.”

"is that so."

Ran secretly exchanged glances with Kobayashi, their movements discreet and unnoticed by Esdeath.

After he joined the Axis cult, he learned about Kobayashi's entire plan. He helped cover up many of the oversights and naturally knew about Kobayashi's relationship with Night Raid.

Kobayashi remained silent, but secretly moved his fingers.

After receiving the instructions, Lan nodded and continued, "Captain, I've compiled a complete list of everything Sheila has been doing lately. Take a look..."

"Really? Thank you for your hard work."

Esdeath took the report from him.

Kobayashi then spoke up, saying, "In that case, even Sheila won't be able to cause any more trouble, and she might even get a good scolding from the ministers soon."

This document will then be given to the minister.

The purpose was simply to contain Sheila and demand that he incorporate the Wild Hounds into the Hunters.

However, Wild Hound is now practically defunct. This report at most prevents him from gathering new forces and causing trouble for Kobayashi at the last minute, nothing more.

"Probably, but it doesn't matter anymore."

Esdeath put the documents away and said to Kobayashi, "Let's leave this topic here. Afterwards, you and I will go to the palace."

"Ok?"

Kobayashi raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Following Esdeath's footsteps, Kobayashi ventured deep into the royal palace.

This was his first official visit here.

The hunters had met the emperor once before, but that was when the hunters were first established, and Kobayashi had not yet joined, so he did not come along.

Now, he has finally set foot here.

Deep within the royal palace

Unlike the extravagant and ostentatious giant buildings outside, the courtyard here is simple and tranquil, with an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Xiaolin stopped.

Because he saw a small child in the distance, running and laughing loudly among the flowers, completely different from the solemn and gloomy passersby, as if he were in another world.

"That's the emperor."

Esdeath's voice came from beside her ear, "I will take you to meet her later, but come with me now."

"Yes."

Kobayashi answered softly, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left.

The emperor, who was still laughing and playing behind him, also gave Xiao Lin a deep look after seeing his back.

Royal Palace Dungeon

If you were to ask where the most guarded dungeons are in the capital, the answer would undoubtedly be the dungeons deep within the royal palace.

Numerous elite soldiers guard this place, making it difficult even for a Teigu user to sneak in unnoticed.

They arrived at a prison cell.

Esdeath dismissed the soldiers on her left and right and opened the cell door alone.

There is a man inside.

—Tazmi.

He didn't show any serious injuries on his body, but his mental state was very poor.

The exquisite food placed in front of him had gone cold, but he showed no sign of touching it.

"You're really stubborn; you won't even eat a single bite of food."

Esdeath looked at him and questioned, "Tatsumi, are you still refusing?"

"I've said it many times, I already have someone I like, and we're dating." Tatsumi's answer remained resolute.
