The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　Will's attention was focused on how to get rid of Dr. Fashion, and he didn't notice the ecstatic expression on Dr. Fashion's face. Dr. Fashion, who had homosexual tendencies, originally wanted to talk to Will and modify his Teigu, but now that he had found more perfect material, he decided to make good use of it.

　Dr. Fashion looked greedily at the young girl and Lan Mei. It was the first time he had seen such perfect material, especially since they were two people together.

　The mad scientist Dr. Fashion immediately noticed how perfect the bodies of the young girl and Lan Mei were. Not only that, but their physical qualities were also excellent. Two elements that would not normally be compatible appeared at the same time. These were the experimental subjects he had been searching for. He vowed to get his hands on these two bodies, because the more perfect the work of art, the more Dr. Fashion wanted to destroy it.

　In reality, the young girl did not live in the capital, and she did not have high requirements for her bed. She could fall asleep lying on the grass. So the young girl and Lan Mei found a cave in the wild as a temporary base. Of course, if someone was lucky enough to find this place, they would only see a pile of bones, a duck doll and some minerals. But it was different for Dr. Fashion. He was specifically looking for the young girl and Lan Mei.

　When Dr. Fashion saw the young girl and Lan Mei skillfully scaling the wall and leaving the capital, heading towards the wilderness, he was initially puzzled as to why these two elegantly dressed women would come to such a place. However, upon seeing them arrive at the cave, Dr. Fashion immediately realized that these two were definitely involved in the night raid, and that they might even be responsible for the western part of the capital.

　After this idea surfaced, Dr. Fashion inevitably began to ponder it deeply. Perhaps Night Raid was here researching explosives and poison to disrupt the Emperor's actions, and that Seryu's disappearance was because they tracked her down here and were captured. Thinking of this, Dr. Fashion's own pursuit of fashion suddenly ignited.

　He couldn't wait any longer.

　Dr. Fashion's soldier Doloma excels at assassination, while Jassan and Toby are skilled in defense and direct combat. The three of them have already entered the cave. The nose in the gold and silver pieces keeps sniffing the ground, while the eyes and ears are also paying attention to the messages coming from inside. Just as Dr. Fashion is carrying a torch and walking into the cave, the nose, which is crawling on the ground, suddenly screams and spits out a mouthful of black poisonous blood onto the ground.

　"W-what's going on? Where are the enemies?"

　"No, there's no one inside. No, inside." Eyes and Ears were already panicked; the aura emanating from the cave rendered them speechless.

　"Thump, thump, thump!" The sound of a huge creature landing came from inside the cave. A strong gust of wind blew past Dr. Fashion, extinguishing the torches in their hands. Dr. Fashion immediately ordered the infantry to surround him, but there was no sound coming from inside. Dr. Fashion hated this kind of unpredictable situation the most, so he immediately lit his torch and continued to advance.

　As the torches were lit, Dr. Fashion noticed the thick, dark purple smoke on the ground. Then, a giant, twisted, reddish-brown horn appeared before them, its golden pupils staring at them. The horn's mouth revealed two rows of sharp, pointed dragon teeth, which flashed with azure light.

　Dr. Fashion immediately ordered the infantry to attack, then turned back without looking back, only to be met with a beam of pale blue light.

　The plasma beam instantly engulfed Dr. Fashion's infantry and other pieces. As the azure beam was about to reach him, Dr. Fashion's expression was a mix of crying and laughing. In the next instant, he was swallowed up by the beam.

　PS2: If you're feeling anxious, spend 20 minutes in a park or other place where you can connect with nature. Just being there can significantly reduce stress. You don't need to exercise or do anything. I've discovered that if you dig three small holes in the ground and put your fingers in, you'll get a bowling ball the size of the Earth!

　Volume 1: Chapter 315 - Tatsumi's Reverse Assault

　In the imperial capital, inside the palace, the young emperor sat on his throne. Beside him, Minister Ernest chewed on a piece of meat with a broad smile, while Esdeath, below the throne, reported on the events taking place in the capital.

　"General Esdeath, I've heard rumors that a huge, dangerous creature with glowing hair was seen in the area affected by the plague. Is that true?"

　"It's fake, Your Majesty. Based on the on-site investigation and the records of the Imperial Guard, there is no way that a super-large dangerous species could appear in the capital. This is probably a smokescreen used by villains to spread the plague. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, one of my hunters is an expert in plagues. He will soon be able to develop an antidote and minimize the spread of the plague."

　"Thank you for your hard work, General Esdeath. As long as you successfully resolve the plague problem, I will reward you handsomely. By the way, how are the preparations for the martial arts competition that General Esdeath plans to hold going?"

　"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We are fully prepared."

　The young emperor nodded in satisfaction. "If only I could find someone to spend my life with. That's all I have to say, Minister Ernest. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

　Ernest grabbed a sushi and stuffed it into his mouth. When he heard the emperor asking for his opinion, he quickly chewed twice and swallowed the sushi. He wiped the sauce off his mouth and looked down at Esdeath, who was exuding an aura of power.

　As soon as Esdeath returned to the capital, Ernest invited her to dinner. At the dinner table, Esdeath bluntly told the minister that she had no interest in the struggle for politics and power. She only cared about whether she could ride the battlefield and crush the enemy. Ernest assured Esdeath that she could enjoy the battle to the fullest.

　After all, from his appearance, Ernest is just a giant who eats all the time. Contrary to his appearance, he received rigorous training when he was young and is proficient in the martial arts of the Imperial Fist Temple. This is why he remains healthy no matter how much delicious food he eats.

　At the same time, Ernest is also a very cunning and scheming person. There are rumors that he personally killed the current emperor's biological parents. In addition, the entire capital, whether it is the officials present or the big and small things in the capital, are under Ernest's surveillance. He is the final assassination target of Night Raid.

　Successfully winning over General Esdeath was naturally the best outcome for Ernest. As for General Bud, another loyal subject of the empire, Ernest was already planning how to eliminate him.

　“Oh? My opinion is that General Esdeath did a very good job. Moreover, this plague was most likely caused by the night raiders. They were completely oblivious to Your Majesty’s hard work and fatigue. Their intentions are despicable, truly despicable.”

　Esdeath smiled and looked up, saying, "Now that I have taken on this matter, I will definitely eradicate the night raids that disturb His Majesty's rest."

　A few days later, Lan, who was in charge of investigating Dr. Fashion's residence and laboratory, returned.

　"General Esdeath, the investigation of Dr. Stylish's residence and laboratory has been completed, but we still haven't found any decisive clues about the doctor's disappearance. Moreover, the important experimental materials and props have all been left intact in the research lab."

　After reading Ran's investigation report, Esdeath casually placed it on the table and adopted the same deep-thinking posture as Yodo Gendo. "So, she didn't escape. She was indeed killed. I felt something was off about Seryu's case. The stupid security team actually classified her as missing."

　Ran observed Esdeath's expression and said with a smile, "Judging from the fact that all the pawns that Dr. Fashion always talks about have disappeared, they might have been wiped out after fighting the enemy. As for Seryu, according to the guard captain, Seryu's parents were killed in the Night Raid. She might have investigated something. Moreover, Seryu also has a Teigu. Maybe she launched a solo attack on the Night Raid base."

　Esdeath walked to the window. She could sense Ran observing her, but Ran's observation seemed to be a twisted curiosity, which Esdeath did not take to heart. On the lawn outside the window was a cluster of highly poisonous flowers that Esdeath had personally cultivated for torture.

　Although Dr. Fashion's disappearance made it difficult for Esdeath to fulfill her promise to the Emperor, the Burning Squad, to which Polus belonged, was very experienced in dealing with the plague. While Esdeath took action herself, the Burning Squad also disinfected the plague-stricken area. In the end, the plague was brought under control, but the consequence was that the area was temporarily uninhabitable.

　The Imperial Capital Residents' Martial Arts Tournament was held as scheduled. Tatsumi, disguised as a blacksmith, participated in the tournament and defeated the butcher, Kalbi, in the final match. This proved that Tatsumi, who had trained with Leone and Brand, was now invincible!

　Tatsumi, who won the championship through his own efforts, received cheers from the audience and a considerable prize. Tatsumi couldn't help but smile sincerely, and it was this smile that completely captivated Esdeath's heart. Yes, Esdeath fell in love!

　Of course, that's not all. This competition is not only for selecting candidates for the Imperial Arms, but also for Esdeath to choose her husband.

　"So this is the Hunter candidate, who is also my beloved, Tatsumi."

　Esdeath couldn't help but walk onto the stage, and in full view of everyone, she knocked Tatsumi unconscious and took him away. Chelsea and Leone, who were watching from the audience, could only watch helplessly as Tatsumi was taken away. They couldn't wait for the show to end, so Leone and Chelsea left in a hurry and returned to Night Raid's base.

　Based on the investigation over this period, Chelsea can confirm that the young girl and Lanmei have not revealed their location. There is no news about the two in the capital. However, strangely, Leone and Chelsea searched the entire capital but could not find the young girl and Lanmei. Although the two knew that this was a ticking time bomb, they could only return to the base to report the emergency situation of Tazmi being taken away to Najenda.

　Ultimately, Najenda decided to have Akame and Brand increase patrols around the base, Mine and Hill ensure the safety of the new base, and Chelsea and Leone try to meet Tatsumi as soon as possible and take him away.

　When Tatsumi woke up, he found himself lying in bed. He instinctively turned over and bumped into an extremely soft object. Tatsumi panicked and tried to get away, but Esdeath pulled him closer and closer. Just when Tatsumi was about to run out of breath, Esdeath let go of him.

　"you're awake."

　"Ha, ha, I almost died here," Tatsumi said, panting heavily.

　"Hehe, you're so cute. I won't let you die, but you must be tired today. Take a rest. Tomorrow I will bring you into the Hunters as a candidate. Don't worry about the Imperial Arms, we'll find a suitable one."

　"Ah, um, wait, sleeping together?"

　"You don't want to?" Esdeath asked, puzzled.

　"No, no, no, it's not a matter of whether we want to or not. This is our first time meeting. How can we sleep together on our first meeting?"

　Esdeath suddenly lunged at Tatsumi and bit his lip. The clumsy action caused blood to seep from Tatsumi's lips. The awkward Tatsumi was then pinned down on the bed by Esdeath. Once again, Tatsumi was almost out of breath when Esdeath reluctantly let go.

　PS: First update!

　PS2: Speaking of which, Esdeath in the anime was truly devoted to Tatsumi. Aside from her distorted values, she treated her subordinates and ordinary people well, had a strong "wife-like" quality, and a fantastic figure. In the manga, Esdeath lived according to her own desires. Because of her failures and Tatsumi's lack of reciprocation, she covered her entire body with ice and died—essentially suicide.

　Volume 1: Chapter 316 - Dual Identity

　“But I only see you as a man, so you don’t need to be reserved. I will not let you feel lonely.”

　Tatsumi struggled to get away from Esdeath and ran to the sofa next to her. "Then I'll stay here."

　"I'm satisfied with what I've done for today. I can't do anything else. You can just sleep in bed."

　"Then I'll go take a shower first." Tatsumi said, trying to escape, but Esdeath told him that the palace was under martial law and that if he tried to escape or cause a disturbance, he would die. Tatsumi also remembered that Brand had said the palace was very dangerous, and the last thing Tatsumi could do was to expose that he was a member of Night Raid.

　So he reluctantly went to take a bath, and then unwillingly slept with Esdeath as a body pillow for the entire night.

　The next day, Tatsumi appeared before the others with dark circles under his eyes. Will had a very good first impression of Tatsumi and immediately said, "Hey, Tatsumi, you didn't sleep very well last night... you don't look like you slept very well."

　"I'm so nervous I can't sleep at all." Although Tatsumi managed to keep his composure last night, Esdeath immediately used him as a body pillow after her shower. The warmth and fragrance emanating from Esdeath constantly assaulted Tatsumi's senses, which meant that Tatsumi could only turn his back to Esdeath. After all, he believed that if he turned around, his nose would bleed immediately, and he couldn't handle such a sensual scene.

　Tatsumi sat lazily at the table, while Kurohime ate cookies one after another. For some reason, Will felt that Kurohime was eating faster, and casually said, "Kuroohime, you too, it's almost lunchtime and you're still eating snacks."

　"Will, shut up."

　"Eating more seafood is better; it's good for your eyes and your body."

　"Then you'll end up smelling like fish, just like Will."

　"Uh, really, Tatsumi, do I really smell like fish?"

　Tatsumi waved his hand weakly, "No, no, Kurohime was probably joking."

　Noticing Tatsumi's gaze, Kurohime immediately hugged the cookies in front of her tightly. "I'm not giving you these snacks."

　Just as Tatsumi was about to say something, Will patted him on the shoulder and said, "Tatsumi, would you like to have lunch together? I know a good place."

　On the way to the hotel, Will chatted casually with Tatsumi, “You can’t say things like that in front of General Esdeath in the palace. You’ve really had a tough time. But now that you’ve joined the Hunters, we’re partners. If anything comes up, feel free to come and talk to me.”

　Thinking about how he ran errands for Mine during Night Raid and grilled fish for Akame, Tatsumi said with a long face, "Thank you, Will, but it's okay, I'm used to this kind of treatment."

　"Ah, I think I can understand now. I feel like we have quite a lot in common." Will thought Tatsumi was referring to his helplessness in the face of Esdeath.

　"Similar? Where are they similar?" Tatsumi didn't react for a moment.

　"How should I put it? It's just that what we've been through has been very painful, and the hardships we'll have to endure in the future will be just as painful." Will thought of Kurome's eccentricities and Polus's shock, while Tatsumi thought of Leone's teasing and Mine's mockery. He immediately waved his hand and said, "That's enough, that's enough, Will, I know, stop reading."

　"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. You and I are similar people, so let's get along well."

　"Oh." Tatsumi momentarily forgot that he was a member of Night Raid and happily agreed.

　The two soon arrived at Will's favorite restaurant. As soon as he opened the door, Will saw a familiar figure and heard a familiar voice.

　"OVO Fish!"

　"Miss Alan."

　"Oh, hey, little guy, I've said it so many times, wait, could it be because I smell fishy? Even Kurohime said that." As expected, Will heard the little girl calling him a fish again, but, "Eh, do you two know each other?"

　Tatsumi froze on the spot. Yes, logically they shouldn't know each other. After all, Tatsumi wasn't a spy. He subconsciously assumed that the young girl and Arashi were with Night Raid, which was why he looked shocked. Moreover, before Esdeath kidnapped him, Tatsumi knew that Chelsea and Leone had been searching for the young girl and Arashi. But just when the two thought that the young girl and Arashi had left the capital, Tatsumi saw them in a hotel in the capital, which is why he subconsciously called out.

　He knew that if he didn't find a suitable excuse at this moment, not only would he be exposed, but also the relationship between the night raider and the young girl.

　system.

　“We are, uh, we are, um, yes, a friend of mine works at Miss Alan’s house. I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Alan, so I remember her.”

　Fortunately, Will did not doubt Tatsumi's words, and took the menu to help Tatsumi order. "So that's how it is. I always thought that Miss Arashi was the child of some nobleman. I was right."

　Tatsumi's mind was racing; he had to either continue making up a plausible excuse or veer off on a completely different topic.

　"Speaking of which, how's the plague situation going?"

　"The plague... After Polus's incineration forces joined in, they thoroughly disinfected that area, and it's now confirmed that there's no threat anymore. But how the plague appeared is still unclear. General Esdeath said it was the work of the night raid, but no evidence has been found."

　Tatsumi clenched his fists tightly, knowing he had to hold back, and then pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "That really is, damn it, but thankfully the plague is under control."

　The little girl picked up the meat soup in front of her, which contained ground pepper, shredded green onions, and shredded ginger. After the carrots and potatoes were stewed until soft, the meat soup also became thick. "O~O~ Huff~ Huff~" The little girl opened her mouth and gulped down a large bowl of meat soup, making comfortable breathing sounds. Her long, white-gold tail swept back and forth on the ground rhythmically, making a crisp slapping sound that pleased people.

　"Plague? That's not a plague, it was created by light."

　"You created this, it's really amazing, little one. By the way, Miss Aran, the capital is safe now. Did you go to watch the martial arts competition? Tatsumi here won first place."

　Tatsumi lowered his head in embarrassment. He was still unaware that the little girl's true form was the huge, dangerous creature they had encountered in the forest. Lan Mei shook her head. She had been hunting with the little girl for the past few days, and the little girl had stored a large amount of prey in her bracelet. Moreover, they had just returned to the capital.

　Tatsumi frantically winked at Arashi, but Arashi didn't notice. To be on the safe side, Tatsumi had to bring up a new topic and try to gather more information, "By the way, what's the outcome between Seryu and Dr. Fashion?"

　"No, according to Lan's investigation, both of them seem to have disappeared without a trace, and even their bodies have not been found. At present, we can only suspect that Night Raid was responsible. Night Raid is truly despicable."

　The truth is that the young girl killed the two people, but she had no recollection of them at all. After all, she had just casually turned them into ashes, so it was perfectly normal for her not to remember them.

　Lanmei did have some recollection of it, "Dr. Fashion?"

　"Oh, it's our colleague, Dr. Fashion, a disgusting sissy with black glasses and a white coat. As for Seryu, I haven't seen her before. She seemed to be on duty at the time. The security team's uniform is green. So, Miss Aran, do you have any clues?"

　Lanmei shook her head. If the little girl didn't remember, neither did she. And after seeing the grilled fish and fried meat served by the waiter, the little girl had long lost interest in what they were saying. Of course, Tatsumi and Will didn't expect her to say anything either.

　PS: Second update!

　PS2: Did you know that when you blink, your vision suddenly goes black and you can't see anything? Our eyes remain the same size as when we were born, but our noses and ears never stop growing. When you point to something high up and tell your friend to look, their mouth will open when they look. A potato screams when it's being peeled, but humans can't hear it at all!

　PS3: The story of Akame ga Kill! will end soon too~

　PS4: So wishing everyone a wonderful Monday, hehe, love you all~

　Volume 1: Chapter 317 - Dangerous Species Appearing in the Nearby

　To reward Esdeath for successfully eradicating the plague, the emperor summoned her to the palace again and asked her what reward she desired.

　"Thanks to the hunters, not only was the plague eradicated, but the bandits around the capital were almost completely wiped out. Night raids have disappeared recently, perhaps out of fear of General Esdeath. They did a very good job."

　"Your Majesty flatters us. Once we discover any trace of the night raid, we hunters will do everything in our power to annihilate them."

　"Yes, that's certainly good. And General Esdeath has found a man who suits her taste. Congratulations! By the way, since that's the case, Minister Ernest, should we grant that man an official position so that he can stay by General Esdeath's side more often?"

　Esdeath ignored Ernest's furrowed brows. "Your Majesty, this matter is as I reported. He and I have our own arrangements. Thank you for your concern."

　After the meeting, Minister Ernest invited Esdeath to a banquet at the palace that evening.

　“General Esdeath, just now, my men sent back some good news, and I think it will be news you will like very much.”

　“Minister Ernest, there’s no need for that. I’ve said before that I’m content with just becoming stronger and interrogating people. I have no interest in power struggles and political battles. You don’t need to talk to me like that.”

　Minister Ernest used a fork to put a large piece of roast meat into his mouth, eating with his mouth full of oil and juices flying everywhere.

　“Oh dear, I’m so sorry, I’m used to it when I chat with other officials. General Esdeath, here’s the news: on the eastern side of the Empire, there’s a religious group called the Way of Peace. That group openly promotes the idea that doing good deeds will bring happiness and longevity. It’s unbelievable that anyone would believe such nonsense. We commoners should just work honestly and give our lives for the Empire. Don’t you agree, General Esdeath?”

　As they were talking, the waiter quickly brought over a plate of butter-roasted matsutake mushrooms. Ernest grabbed a handful of matsutake mushrooms and ate them without any hesitation. "In the last ten years, the Anning Road religious group has gained many followers and formed a huge force on the east side of the capital. The empire has given these followers a good life, but they actually thought of an armed uprising, that is, a religious rebellion. These people are really despicable, really despicable."

　Esdeath had heard of the Nirmala Path religious group, since a small number of soldiers in the army were followers of the Nirmala Path, but she was not interested in these things.
