Miss Surtr will ignite the world

I often have my days and nights reversed, and occasionally I stay up all night. I realize that this can't go on, and after trying to adjust back to a normal level, I immediately revert to my old ways.

My daily routine is that I have no daily routine.

A life as disciplined as that other person's is still too difficult for her.

Of course, this doesn't stop her from greatly admiring these self-disciplined individuals.

In the courtyard, seemingly noticing her gaze, the two waved in her direction.

Surtr waved back, and after admiring the morning scenery for a while, he decided to go downstairs to find something to eat.

But as he looked away, Yu Guangzhong noticed a richly decorated carriage approaching the mansion on the street.

There was more than one house on this street than Surtr's, but why did she feel that the other party was after her?

She remembered the person who was driving.

Outside the city, when Najenda was rescued, she was one of the extras who were shouting "666" behind Esdeath's back.

The leader of the Three Beast Warriors, I remember his name was something like Wa or Li.

I don't remember exactly, but it was definitely Esdeath's subordinate.

The fact that the three beastmen personally drove the carriage speaks volumes about who was inside.

So, the outpost was discovered after all?

Although she didn't think she had hidden it very well.

Were they here to arrest her? But that carriage was far too conspicuous; it was easy to spot if you got even a little closer.

Surtr didn't quite understand what tricks the other party was playing.

But it doesn't matter what, because no matter what, she has the confidence to remain undefeated.

Thinking this, she looked away and called out to the two people below.

"Hey, stop for a second, someone's coming, it's probably Esdeath."

The words fell.

It's clear that Najenda's expression has become much stiffer, indicating that the trauma Esdeath inflicted on her last time hasn't healed yet.

After the two returned to the house, a moment later...

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate.

The car door opened, and Esdeath, dressed in military uniform, stepped out.

"Oh, are you here to welcome me?"

Through the fence, Esdeath saw Surtr standing inside the gate, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said...

"No, I'm just here to decide whether or not to let you in today."

Surtr shook his head decisively. He had no choice but to go himself, as he didn't feel comfortable letting anyone else do it.

"Really? Then you can rest assured, because it wasn't me who came to see you this time."

As soon as the words were spoken, inside the carriage...

The petite emperor emerged from the shadows, his clear gaze fixed on Surtr.

Compared to yesterday's simple attire, the other person's clothes today were obviously much more formal, and with the help of the clothes, their childish appearance seemed to have matured considerably.

“It is I who want to see you, Miss Surtr.”

Stepping down from the carriage, the young emperor stood outside the door, slightly raising his head to look at Surtr's face, and tried his best to put on a serious expression as he spoke.

"That's really surprising."

Surtr raised an eyebrow; clearly, the Emperor's visit was not something she had anticipated.

"In that case, please come in, all three of you."

The door was opened.

Since the emperor has come to see him personally, he should at least give him some face; it would be inappropriate to leave him standing outside the door.

The carriage drove into the courtyard.

The three walked along the main road in the courtyard. The young emperor looked around curiously and asked a question.

"Is this your residence in the capital?"

"No, this is the mansion of a nobleman who likes to lure outsiders to torture them. I'm just staying here temporarily."

Surtr answered.

"I see."

The emperor's tone suddenly lowered, and he let out a sigh.

"Sigh, why is my country full of nobles like this?"

"After all, it is a country that has existed for thousands of years, so it is obviously not without its internal problems."

As he spoke, Surtur led the two men, along with Riva who had parked the carriage, into the mansion.

As soon as I entered, I saw Najenda holding a pumpkin in the hall, her guard up high.

The other person's gaze passed over Surtr and looked at Esdeath, who had the strongest presence behind them, and their face was visibly tense.

“Surtr, this is…”

She asked, puzzled.

"Ah, put down your guns first, they're not the enemy now."

Surtr moved a step to the side, revealing the young emperor who had been hidden behind her.

The other person's height was so insignificant that Najenda didn't even notice him at first.

"The emperor has arrived; it seems there's something to discuss."

It was only then that Najenda noticed that there was a little guy hiding behind Surtr.

The familiar face stirred her memory; she had seen the person not long ago.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Najendan gave the other person a standard bow, but her tone sounded somewhat unconfident.

After all, she was a traitor to the empire, so it was still somewhat awkward for her to meet the empire's nominal supreme leader.

"you are?"

The emperor was puzzled; he clearly couldn't recognize this traitorous general.

In fact, not only the emperor, but even Esdeath didn't recognize the other person immediately.

Surtr's craftsmanship is quite excellent.

“She is Najenda, a former Imperial general, my little brother.”

There was no need to hide it from the other party; they'll find out soon enough anyway.

"It's General Najenda, no, it should be a former general. She's changed so much, is this what they mean by a girl's transformation at eighteen?"

The young emperor opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Well, although I don't think this is the correct way to use it, it doesn't matter anyway. Standing at the door isn't going to help, let's go to the reception room first."

Surtr patted Najenda, who was standing there in a daze, and walked past her to the front.

Inside the mansion, in the reception room on the first floor.

Surtr sat on the sofa, with her little brother Najenda standing behind her, and in front of her were the young emperor, Esdeath, and her followers.

"What business does His Majesty have with me?"

Surtr looked at the young emperor, a few guesses forming in his mind.

There seemed to be some tension in his eyes. The young emperor took a few deep breaths, his fingers interlacing between his legs. After a moment of deliberation, he finally spoke.

"That's right, I would like to invite Miss Surtr to take up a position in the Empire."

"The emperor said."

Offer amnesty.

Yes, that's an unsurprising answer.

After all, her value is undeniable, and she has no irreconcilable conflicts with the empire or the emperor, so being granted amnesty would be the best outcome.

However, as mentioned before, she has no interest in becoming an official.

and so.

She answered decisively.

"I refuse."

Akame ga Kill! Chapter 30: The Four Beast Warriors

"Hey, so decisive? Don't you even consider the offer?"

The little emperor opened his mouth.

Although corrupt, the empire was still the most powerful country in the world. Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, let alone the fact that it was still alive.

For most people, this should be a rare and good thing.

"After all, I am a traveler. I just happened to come to this country and will leave after a while. It is definitely impossible for me to hold any position in the empire."

"Besides, I don't lack money, so why should I restrict myself?"

Being an official sounds like a lot of trouble, right?

Miss Surtr hates trouble.

"I see. That's a real shame."

The young emperor's tone lowered, and he sounded puzzled.

"But since you just happened to be here, why did you do all these things?"

The other party has absolutely no connection with the Empire, so why are they doing this? Well, it's a thankless task.

He was even put on an arrest warrant.

If the other person wanted, they could have a much more comfortable lifestyle.

"Perhaps it's because I'm kind-hearted; I can't stand those incompetent officials who corrupt the country."

Surtr made it up on the spot.

Whether they believe it or not is their business, and she doesn't really care.

"Yeah."

The young emperor nodded as if in agreement, and then said...

"Then, how about we stay in the Empire and cooperate with it during this time?"

"There are also officials in the imperial court who care about the country. If they cooperate, they can play a greater role, right?"

"Of course, there will definitely be corresponding rewards."

Although the young emperor wasn't really sure what the cooperation with Surtr would bring, after all, he had only just begun to understand things and hadn't even figured out the trivial matters of the court yet.

But in any case, it's never wrong to try to bring the other side to your side first.

Although that was already the case.

"That's not a problem."

This time, Surtr did not refuse.

"However, my only skill is fighting; as for other matters, I can't offer any help."

She's always been the type who prefers to use her hands rather than her brain.

"That's enough."

"So, what's left..."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to Najenda behind him and asked.
