I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 167 First Entry into the World of Kill!

Akame ga Kill! world.

A spacious meeting room.

Several people dressed in different styles sat down on either side of the long table. One of them, a purple-haired woman with glasses, spread out paper and pen, preparing to take meeting notes.

"Everyone has arrived."

The white-haired, eyepatch-wearing woman sitting at the head of the table coughed and looked at the burly man below her: "Brand, could you please describe the matter of that Miss Light again, especially her battle with the dragon-shaped dangerous species from another world, so that Akame and the others can hear it as well?"

There are only six or seven people sitting in this room right now.

Apart from the white-haired, eyepatch-wearing woman, who is also the "boss" Najenda, the rest are all Teigu users without exception.

Akame, the holder of Murasame; Mine, the holder of Pumpkin Cannon; Leone, the holder of Lion King; Lubbock, the holder of Cross Tail; and Sylvanas, the holder of All Things Divided.

With Brand added, that makes up the entire Night Raid team now.

A few days ago.

When Najendan first heard Brand mention the "chat group," she initially thought he was delusional due to the immense mental stress of long-term assassination missions, and considered giving him some time off to see a doctor.

Even when Brand repeatedly reiterated that he was serious and vouched for it with his personal reputation, Najendan remained skeptical.

Until the information about "Arya" was confirmed.

Only then did the boss begin to take it seriously, and he summoned all the "Night Raid" members here for a group meeting.

"Is this real, or is it another world?"

"I believe Brand wouldn't lie to us, but... this is just too unbelievable. According to Brand, that 'Miss Hikari' is only thirteen years old? Even Akame, at that age, wouldn't be that strong? At most, she's just a promising talent; how much can she really help us?"

"That's hard to say. Some geniuses can't be understood using common sense. For example, General Esdeath of the Empire..."

"..."

Leone and others engaged in a heated discussion.

After they had finished speaking, Najenda tapped the table lightly with her fingers and slowly said, "I have considered all of what you have said, but... now is a critical moment in the war between the Revolutionary Army and the Empire. In order to achieve the final victory, we must strive to win over all possible forces."

Whether that Ms. Hikari is truly as powerful as Esdeath, or simply a young girl with considerable strength, her circumstances are acceptable to us.

According to Brand, she could come to us from her own world through that thing called "chat group," and spending some time meeting up wouldn't hurt.

"……Too."

After Najenda spoke, Leone and the others exchanged glances and said nothing more.

then.

Najenda looked at Brand: "What did Miss Light say?"

"...She said it was no problem, and that I could come over after a few days of preparation."

……

At this moment.

The chat group is discussing the situation in the world of Kill! Red.

[Bulma: A thousand-year empire? It's unbelievable that a country can exist for so long!]

Anonymous: Indeed.

[Yotsuya Miko: There are quite a few countries in history books that have lasted for thousands of years, but it's really impressive to have a regime that hasn't changed hands for so long.]

[Yongdaimei: I've never heard of such a political system before... But according to Mr. Brand, that empire is now on its last legs and about to collapse?]

[Brand: Yes, the upper echelons of this country have become utterly corrupt. From the central government to the local level, they oppress the people. My former superior, General Liva, was imprisoned for refusing to bribe high-ranking officials in the capital. I tried to seek justice for him, but I suffered the same fate, which is why I defected...]

[Brand: Besides me, the other members of "Night Raid" have all had similar experiences.]

[Brand: If the existing regime cannot be overthrown and a new order cannot be established, this country will become a living hell.]

[Oni-hime: It sounds a bit like Wano Country...]

In the past few days, Brand has given a general overview of the situation on his side in the group chat.

It mainly concerns the dark side of the empire.

Brand didn't reveal too many details about the Revolutionary Army, probably because he was afraid of leaking classified information.

Hikaru Uchiha already knew these things.

Bulma and the others, however, knew nothing about this, so they were quite surprised when they heard it.

Yamato, who had initially clashed with Brand when he first joined the group, has now slightly changed his attitude as he has gotten to know him better.

[Oni-hime: You may have a bad temper, but I didn't expect you to be so tough... If you need any help, just call me!]

[Brand: Hmph, I'm not as great as your Lord Kozuki Oden. I'm just an insignificant nobody who can't stand the status quo... Besides, what the Revolutionary Army is doing is extremely dangerous. Without sufficient strength, coming here will only lead to our deaths.]

[Oni-hime: ? You underestimate my strength? I possess Conqueror's Haki, though not as powerful as my father... Kaido, it's still quite formidable!]

[Brand: Domineering? What's that? Is it as powerful as Hikari and Minato?]

[Oni-hime: ...How could I possibly be worthy of being compared to Mr. Minato?]

in reality.

Inside the castle on Penglai Island.

Uchiha Hikaru carried the weakened Kikyo to the bed and laid her down, then stretched and looked in the mirror.

Just now.

She completed another cycle of "absorbing evil spirits," "purifying evil energy," and "strengthening her pupil power."

Now, the few newly formed black tomoe in her eyes are almost complete. When she closes her eyes, Uchiha Hikaru can even feel something emerging from the depths of her consciousness, but it is covered by an invisible layer of paper, so she can't see it clearly, like looking at flowers through a fog.

"This feeling..."

Is it a new eye technique?

Or is it a Susanoo weapon like "Indra's Arrow" or "Ten-Fist Sword"?

Uchiha Hikaru was somewhat looking forward to it.

"Hey Hikaru, aren't you really going to wait for us?"

Bulma stood to the side with her arms crossed: "On the Shikon Jewel radar, there are only a few fragments left, so there shouldn't be any rush... I really want to go and see the world of newbies too."

"...This isn't a vacation, it's going to be very dangerous. Just stay with Miss Kikyo for now. I'll let you know if it's safe."

After saying a few words to Bulma.

Uchiha Hikaru took a deep breath and tagged Brand in the group chat.

An anonymous user requests entry into Brand's world.

Brand has approved the application.
