I love time travel the most!

Liu Zi: Because Miss Hill is more magnanimous than I am.

Kobayashi: Hmm?

Ryuu: Doesn't Lord Kobayashi like big things?

Kobayashi: Huh? ? ?

Chapter 47 Sometimes, even telling the truth won't be believed.

After that, life returned to normal.

He reads books in the morning, trains in the late morning, goes to the capital to gather intelligence in the afternoon, and works as an assassin late at night to eliminate parasites for the corrupt empire.

A time management expert exclaimed that he was an expert.

In the martial arts training ground.

Kobayashi, wielding the same longsword as Tatsumi, stood facing Akame from afar.

Although the two are far apart, they can close the distance instantly and launch a fatal attack if they suddenly attack.

"Drink!"

Xiaolin shouted and rushed forward.

As the longsword was raised high, a barely noticeable glint of light flashed in the sunlight before it slashed downwards with tremendous force, delivering a swift and devastating blow.

But it was cleverly dodged.

Taking advantage of the moment of paralysis after the powerful attack, Akame twisted her wrist, and the long sword slid from bottom to top toward Kobayashi's neck. Once it hit, Kobayashi's head would be severed.

With the old forces exhausted and new forces yet to emerge, it seemed like a perfect opportunity for a counterattack. However, at the crucial moment, Kobayashi defied common sense and raised his longsword to intercept Akame's slash aimed at his neck.

However, due to the hasty parry, he was still knocked back by Akame's charged slash.

Then both sides repositioned themselves.

Kobayashi was slightly out of breath.

The two had been fighting for an hour, but he couldn't touch Akame at all.

"Okay, that's all for today."

Akame sheathed her sword, stood up, and began to lecture.

"Kobayashi, you're strange. Some of your moves are incredibly skillful and powerful, while others are like those of an ordinary person who has never used a sword before, completely clueless about how to exert force. And you always reveal the same flaw when changing moves. The contrast is too great, it's a very strange feeling."

understood.

The problem lies in the poor coordination between skills and basic attacks.

Kobayashi had learned a few swordsmanship skills from a master swordsman, but later found that the bow and arrow were the most convenient and practical tools for a lone traveler, so he gave up using the sword.

It did feel a bit awkward to hold the sword again.

I used to criticize others for being so rigid and formal, but now I'm doing the same thing myself. It's so embarrassing.

Don't be discouraged.

Akame rarely smiled as she encouraged Kobayashi, saying, "You have a strong learning ability, and I believe you will improve this shortcoming soon."

"Yes, I'll be troubling you again from now on."

Xiaolin said he understood.

After seeing the two finish their fight, Hill closed his book, picked up the towel that was placed aside, and walked towards Kobayashi and Akame.

Here, wipe the sweat from your forehead.

"Thank you, Hill."

Xiaolin took the towel.

With her eyes wide and innocent, Akame asked, "Where's mine?"

"what?"

Where is my towel?

"over there."

Hill returned the same blank expression, pointing to where she had just been sitting, where there was a clean towel.

"I wanted to ask why you didn't bring it with you."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot."

"Well……"

Akame suddenly fell silent.

But she didn't say anything. Instead, she took the towel that Kobayashi had used, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then turned around to cook.

It seems that Hill's ignoring her has hurt her a lot.

Mine, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She clenched her fists and couldn't help but shout angrily, "Why are Hill and Kobayashi so close? By the way, Hill is my partner!"

"Hmm?" Leone asked curiously, "Isn't your current partner Tatsumi?"

"That's why I don't understand what the Boss is thinking. Why does he want me to partner with him? Even Kobayashi would have been fine!"

For some reason, Mine just couldn't stand Tatsumi.

"Oh dear, are you jealous?"

Leone hugged the petite Mine, lightly tapping her cheek with his finger and teasing, "So, are you jealous of Hill, or Kobayashi, or both of them?"

"Not at all!"

Mine flicked her twin tails, giving a standard tsundere reply.

Leone, however, did not let her go.

"Oh, you're blushing!"

"No! Even if I did, it was because of Leone that I was angry with you!"

"Really? Come, let me see!"

Mine was no match for Leone; she was quickly defeated by the mischievous blonde older sister, leaving her glaring at her angrily but helpless.

The raiders couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this.

Tatsumi, in particular, laughed even louder when he saw Mine, who disliked him, being bullied. This provoked Mine to retaliate, and the two ended up fighting.

They are enjoying a brief moment of leisure.

------

late at night.

Najendan issued the mission concisely and clearly: "The target this time is the serial killer who is the talk of the town in the capital. He appears out of nowhere at night, beheads people, and has already killed dozens of people."

"And 30% of them are from the security forces."

"Without a doubt, it was the beheading of Zank."

Zank the Executioner was originally a headhunter who carried out executions in the empire's largest prison.

Having developed a habit of killing people every day, he gradually became dissatisfied with killing only in prison, so he stole the warden's Teigu and began to kill people on the streets.

However, he disappeared shortly after the expedition was established.

"I never expected to end up in the capital."

"So that means we're going to defeat him, right?!"

"Wait, Zank the Decapitator has an Imperial Arms. Acting rashly could result in injury."

Brand pinched Tatsumi's chin, as if he were flirting with a delicate flower... no, in a sense, Tatsumi's flower was indeed delicate.

"Hehe, hehehe..."

Tazumi took a few steps back in fear.

He respected Brand very much, but he decided against it in that regard.

"Huh? Speaking of which, what exactly are Imperial Arms?"

"This is it."

Akame held up the Murasame sword in front of him, but it was too straightforward for Tatsumi to understand.

Najenda took the opportunity to educate him, telling Tatsumi the names and effects of the Teigu used by the Night Raid members, and emphasizing that there has always been an ironclad rule for Teigu users.

That is--

If both sides fight with murderous intent, there will inevitably be casualties.

"How...how scary..."

Tatsumi couldn't help but swallow hard, but suddenly he asked with some doubt, "Wait, shouldn't Imperial Arms generally be weapons or armor? What's going on with Ms. Ryuu? In the end, is Ms. Ryuu really an Imperial Arm?"

"Yes... a humanoid Imperial Arms."

Najenda continued to explain, "There are many types of Imperial Arms, including biological and humanoid types. There is a humanoid Imperial Arm at the Revolutionary Army headquarters, but the difference is that it is male."

After learning that Ryuu was a Teigu, Najenda passed the information to the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

She also learned from headquarters that there was a humanoid Imperial Arm in the Revolutionary Army.

"However, I don't know much about the specific details of the humanoid Teigu. It would be even better if Miss Ryuzu could explain it to us."

Najendan is also very interested in Ryuu.

However, Ryuzu emerged from under her skirt with two futuristic scythes, elegantly bowed, and said sarcastically, "Although I am not human, please do not mistake me for a cheap Teigu. I am the strongest series of puppets created by [Y]."

Hearing her say that, the Night Raid members didn't care at all, because they had already experienced how sharp Liu Zi's tongue was during this time, so they only needed to take what they could bear to hear.

"Yes, yes, Miss Ryuu is a doll."

"Y? Is that the craftsman who made you?"

"The strongest puppet... which means the strongest biological Teigu?"

"Wow! They can actually make such realistic Imperial Arms!"
