Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Page 171

Although it is not very far from the capital.

However, this place is sparsely populated and protected by dense natural forests, making it difficult to be discovered.

Moreover, Iyeas and the others had previously mentioned that the flesh of dangerous species is edible.

Therefore, even when isolated from the outside world, they can still be self-sufficient.

"Alright, everyone's waiting for us."

The girl named Akame turned around and urged the others on.

One minute later.

Inside the lobby of the night raid headquarters.

"Hey, you're back already? You're really slow."

Inside the bright hall, the woman dressed as a man, sitting at the head of the table, spoke to Leone and Akame, who had just returned.

She has short white hair, and although she is a woman, her attire is more masculine.

But compared to her blindfolded right eye and her oversized prosthetic right arm, the outfit was nothing.

She immediately noticed the two people behind Leone, and narrowed her remaining left eye as she looked them over.

"Yeah, what were you doing all this time, being so late..."

A girl wearing a pink dress and with pink pigtails was about to complain, but suddenly stopped.

"Hey, Leone, who are those two people?"

Her sharp gaze was fixed on Lu Ye and Violet behind Leone.

Not only her, but everyone else present also made slight movements in response.

This is their headquarters, and now two strangers have appeared here.

Although he had complete trust in his two companions, Leone and Akame.

But that might not be the case for Lu Ye and Violet.

"Everyone, don't panic. Leone, Akame, tell me what's going on?"

The woman dressed as a man did not blame Leone, but instead asked about the reason.

"I need your report on Arya's family's actions tonight, and on these two people."

"Alright, boss!"

Leone recounted the whole story without hiding anything.

Before the woman in men's clothing could even speak...

"What? They actually saw through that family's true colors?"

A green-haired boy wearing goggles looked on with disbelief.

"That Arya is quite the con artist; she's deceived dozens of victims with her lies. How did you find out?"

"Lubbock, don't speak yet." The woman in men's clothing waved her hand, telling the green-haired boy to shut up.

"I understand the whole situation now. Just in case, let me double-check. Young man, have you made up your mind to join us?"

“Yes,” Lu Ye nodded slightly, “Violet and I are ready to join Night Raid and fight against the Imperial Army.”

"Really? That's good. My name is Najenda. Welcome to the team."

Najeta gave a gentle smile.

She trusted Leone... no, she trusted the entire Night Raid team completely.

Since Leone and Akame brought them back, there shouldn't be any problems.

"But... what will happen if I refuse?"

Lu Ye suddenly became curious.

"It's nothing, you'll just be under house arrest and work in our workshop. It won't kill you," Najenda smiled slightly. "But don't even think about leaving before we overthrow the capital."

Lu Ye thought to herself, "Although you are assassins, you seem to be quite humane."

After saying that, Najeta stood up from her seat.

"Then let's adjourn the meeting. Although I really wanted to explain the situation to you, it's already quite late, and getting enough rest is very important for assassins. Akame, take these two newcomers to their rooms. I'll explain the details tomorrow."

"Ok."

As Najenda left, the people in the hall gradually dispersed.

As everyone left, they cast kind glances at Lu Ye and Violet.

After all, from now on, we're all partners.

Only the girl with pink pigtails glanced at Lu Ye disdainfully, snorted, and left arrogantly.

“Let’s go,” Akame said. “I’ll take you to your room.”

I went up the stairs.

There were no lights in the corridor, only the cool moonlight shining through the windows.

Akame walked ahead, her long black hair swaying with each step.

A black mini-skirt accentuated her beautiful figure, and the demon sword "Murasame" hung at her waist.

Lu Ye stared at Murasame, recalling the scene where he had drawn his sword against Akame earlier.

Although he didn't make a move in the end, Lu Ye knew that the girl in front of him had excellent swordsmanship.

Because to judge a person's ability, you can start from many small details.

For example, the posture used in response, the level of tension in the body, and even the hand gesture when holding the knife...

Lu Ye developed a keen eye for observation in the world of Sekiro.

"By the way, it's just my curiosity, you don't have to answer... Akame, why did you join Night Raid?"

"Me?" Akame didn't stop walking. "I've just come to realize the darkness of this country, so I want to do what I should do."

"Is this what they call a sense of justice?"

"A sense of justice... While that's part of the reason, I think it's more about wanting to atone for my sins."

"Atonement?"

"Before joining Night Raid, I belonged to the assassination squad of the Imperial Capital Agency, working for nobles and high-ranking officials."

Akame left behind only this one sentence.

That's all for this.

But it has already explained a lot.

Akame stopped in front of the door near the inside of the corridor, staring at Lu Ye with her indifferent crimson eyes.

"These two rooms are your rooms; you can choose whichever you like."

After saying that, she turned and left indifferently.

But after walking a few steps, she turned back.

"I heard from Leone that you guys didn't seem to have dinner. If you're hungry, you can come to the kitchen in the middle of the night. I'm usually there."

After saying those words, Akame left.

As Lu Ye pushed open the door and was about to enter, he felt a gaze upon him.

He turned his head.

Violet didn't push open her door; instead, she looked up at him.

"Violet, you're all grown up now, it's time for you to sleep by yourself."

"Does growing up mean sleeping alone?"

"Yes, and... the beds here are single beds, not big enough for two people."

Violet neither agreed nor refused.

She began to think about it very seriously.

Although I really wanted to sleep with Lu Ye in my arms, I had to be a good girl.

Moreover, once I grow up, I might be able to marry him.

With that thought in mind, she nodded and went into another room.
