Although Akame grew up with Gozuchi, she is still his sister. If an older brother can't even control his own sister, where is his authority?!

"Really? That's great!"

Hei Tong probably deliberately filtered out Lin Yu's words. As soon as she heard that she could meet her sister, she became excited and stopped being wary of Lin Yu. She skipped over to Lin Yu and hugged his arm. She even gave up her favorite meat in order to see her sister.

"You should at least wait until after breakfast to say that!"

Lin Yu felt a terrible headache. These two sisters, one with a crush on the older sister and the other on the younger sister, would be a perfect match if they were together, a perfect match for a lesbian relationship.

"I'm done eating!"

Hei Tong patted her slightly heaving chest and lied through her teeth, saying that the food in her bowl hadn't even been touched!

"Even if you don't wait for me to finish eating, you'll wait for your sister Tina to finish eating..."

"I'm done eating."

Well, Tina put down her bowl before Lin Yu could finish the last word. Her power came from Lin Yu, and eating was just a habit for her; whether she ate or not, or how much she ate, didn't matter.

In the past, Tina would never have contradicted Lin Yu like this, but because of someone's actions, this soft little girl is currently in a moody state.

Lin Yu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. There was nothing he could do; one little girl was determined to see her older sister, while the other kept contradicting him. It seemed he couldn't eat breakfast by himself.

"Alright, alright, you win. In that case, let's go."

Lin Yu sighed helplessly, ultimately giving up. He had no choice but to pick up Hei Tong, spread his wings, and fly into the sky. Finding Chi Tong might be difficult for others, but Lin Yu had collected a lot of information on this. It could be said that no matter what the assassination squad did, it could not escape Lin Yu's intelligence network. Therefore, there was no need to make a trip to the assassination squad's base.

"If I remember correctly, she should be on a mission right now."

Lin Yu recalled the intelligence he had received, then flew towards his destination. Some of the information in the intelligence piqued his interest, so he was happy to go find Akame now…

"Next, please enjoy the acrobatic performance brought to you by the exciting newcomers of the Sabatini Theatre Company!"

Simple platforms, wide streets, bustling crowds—in this empire, many people strive to survive, and among them, theatrical troupes that travel from city to city providing rare entertainment are quite popular.

"The performers are these two, Akame and Tsukushi!"

The host's voice was loud and clear. In this era, there were no microphones or similar devices, so it was no easy task to project one's voice onto a bustling stage.

On stage, two energetic and beautiful girls greeted the audience. It was hard to imagine that they, who had been raised as assassins, would have such cheerful and bright smiles on their faces.

That was a genuine smile, without any forced effort.

However, their identities dictate that even with such smiles, they often have to harden their hearts.

Akame and Tsukushi are assassins, and among the elite of the Empire's assassination forces. The fact that they are here and performing as entertainers means that there is a mission they need to complete.

The empire has become corrupt, and many assassination missions are a test for the assassins themselves.

"They're just kids, they're amazing!"

In the theater troupe, an old man watched the two girls with a gratified smile. This was an era where people preyed on each other, and survival was not an easy thing. Therefore, it was not too surprising that two young girls with good skills could survive.

"Want to know why they're so amazing even though they're still newcomers? It's because they were originally traveling performers from another theater troupe. Their original troupe leader died in an accident, and they were forced to find another troupe, which is how they met us!"

Wearing a top hat and sporting a somewhat dignified beard, he looked like a gentlemanly troupe leader as he introduced the two young girls to the audience. The audience erupted in cheers because of the two young girls' high-difficulty performance and their exquisite appearance.

"The addition of new talent is proving very effective! Traveling entertainers are definitely in demand in this era!"

Amria, a member of the troupe whose beauty rivals that of Akame and the other two women, showed no sign of rejection towards the newcomers; on the contrary, she seemed quite happy.

"Yes, they were a good appetizer, but as the main course, my dance is just as impressive!"

With her twin ponytails and stunning figure, Natalia is the most outstanding dancer in the troupe. For a troupe to succeed, it needs a variety of multi-talented performers. Just like Akame and Tsukushi joined the troupe through acrobatics and received unanimous praise.

No one knew that the reason the two girls' acrobatic skills were so outstanding was simply because they had received assassination training since childhood. Now they had just made those practical skills fancy. In the end, their skills were simply for killing!

"While this is true, their arrival at the theater was handled appropriately, and many viewers sympathized with Akame and the others..."

The troupe leader didn't finish his sentence, but everyone in the small meeting of the veteran actors understood exactly what he meant.

"But we also need to consider how to use them in the future, right?"

Dankan, who has a bald head and doesn't look like a good person at all, said.

"Let's observe more during this period."

The troupe leader revealed a cautious expression. This troupe was hiding many secrets, and if they were to be revealed, everyone present would surely die!

"Tsukushi contacted me during the performance."

Outside the theater troupe, Tsukushi and Akame sat facing each other.

"This is our first time meeting!"

Tsukushi was a little nervous. They had carried out many missions, but this was the first time they had infiltrated as spies in such an environment. After all, the environment here was too harmonious, so harmonious that neither of them dared to think about the worst possible scenario.

"What did Father say?"

"The target will probably take the bait tomorrow!"

The atmosphere between the two was a little somber. They had been with the troupe for some time now, and everyone had taken good care of them. If possible, they really didn't want it to be like what the intelligence report mentioned.

"I hope nothing happens..."

Akame hasn't realized yet that when she had this thought, she was no longer a pure assassin. Gozchi raised them to be assassins without suppressing their true nature. Although the Empire's brainwashing was very effective, it was inevitable that the results of the brainwashing would be questioned when carrying out missions. This was the biggest flaw in Gozchi's training method.

"It's almost time to prepare dinner!"

Amria is quite tall and looks somewhere between a young girl and a mature woman, but her temperament leans more towards maturity. She is usually the one who takes the best care of the two of them.

"Little Red Eyes, you can have more rice today!"

Akame's appetite has always been a big problem; she can eat way too much.

"Really? Amria!"

Because of her large appetite and the relatively low income of the troupe, Akame is usually forbidden from having more food. However, Amria brought some good news today.

"The commander praised you, saying that it's all thanks to you guys for your help."

Akame clearly didn't hear what Amria said next, after all, her mind was already filled with the words "another bowl, please"—not having enough to eat every day was the greatest torment for her!

"How could that be? We should be the ones being helped."

Compared to Akame, Tsukushi was somewhat apprehensive. Aside from her identity as an assassin, she genuinely enjoyed these ordinary days, and felt a little apprehensive about being praised by her senior.

"It's been almost a month since you joined, and your income has definitely increased during this time! Be confident!"

Amria can be described as having an innate aura of friendliness. Hearing this, Akame and Tsukushi smiled at each other. They both cherished these days. If they could get through tomorrow safely, they might leave without saying goodbye. At least for now, they could continue to experience this rare life.

"We're setting off for the next city tomorrow. I've heard there might be bandits along the way, so we'll leave as soon as the sun rises and make sure we reach the next city before nightfall."

After giving her instructions, Amria left. Akame and Tsukushi lay down on the bed after dinner, but they couldn't fall asleep because they had no idea what tomorrow would bring.

Can I really bring myself to do it?

With these questions in mind, the two set off with the theater troupe in the early hours of the morning.

The carriage bumped along, and apart from the group sitting outside heading towards their destination, the other members were all inside, showing no signs of distress. Akame and Tsukushi were also praying that the day would pass smoothly.

However, the empire's intelligence was not unfounded; the carriage began to shake violently without warning.

"What's wrong!"

The theater troupe traveling between cities was very vigilant. Under the oppressive rule of the empire and the inaction of local officials, bandits were rampant. Without some skill, one would definitely die a terrible death. Therefore, one of the troupe members immediately drew the long swords they usually used for performances and rushed out.

"They're bandits from Baibo Mountain!"

The group members shouted a warning, and Akame and Tsukushi were ready for battle. When they heard that bandits had appeared, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of the bandits, but that their companions, with whom they had spent a month, would really be as the intelligence said.

"Hehe, this is the legendary traveling performers troupe. It seems there are a lot of beauties! If we can make money and beauties, it will be worth the long trip."

The bandits' arrogant voices and lewd laughter clearly reached everyone's ears. No one was naive enough to think that these bandits would let them go easily, and a battle was inevitable!

The bandits were numerous, and the troupe's fighting strength was almost negligible. Usually, encountering a band of this size would be a catastrophic disaster, especially for the girls, whose fate would be particularly tragic.

"You're planning to fight?"

"Haha, it makes no difference anyway, it's all dry."

"So, shall we stick to the old rules?"

The henchmen discussed the matter without restraint, while the bandit leader licked his lips as he looked at the girls in the theater troupe, clearly eager to see them.

"Alright, kill all the men, and sever the tendons in the hands and feet of the women, so they don't escape."

This was clearly not the first time they had done something like this. After their leader spoke, the large number of bandits cheered, because in their eyes, tonight was going to be a great night!

However, they never imagined that these seemingly harmless theater troupes harbored two killing machines trained by the empire. From the moment they decided to attack the troupes, their fate was sealed...

269. Distortion [Two-in-One]

Why would bandits be here?

The leader was puzzled. Under normal circumstances, bandits would not stray too far from their stronghold, but this time it was clearly unusual.

"We have no choice but to fight."

Despite their doubts, the fact remained that the troupe was in crisis, and if they didn't find a way to escape, their fate would be extremely tragic!

"Everyone! Pick up your weapons and prepare for battle! Akame and Tsukushi, get behind me!"

There were only a few men in the troupe who could be considered combat-ready, but they had to face nearly a hundred bandits. The disparity was so great that it was almost despairing.

"Are you going to do this to everyone, just like the rumors say?"

While the leader was racking his brains trying to figure out how to escape, Akame didn't stand behind him. Instead, she walked forward alone, holding a long, narrow object wrapped in white cloth in her hand.

"Hey, Akame, come back quickly!"

Akame's actions startled everyone, and someone immediately shouted that these bandits would not show any mercy when they attacked, and it was easy to imagine what would happen to a beautiful girl like Akame if she fell into their hands.

"Ha! Of course, we are the White Wave Gang. If you listen to us, little girl, you might suffer less. If you resist, we'll just have to capture you and turn you into everyone's toilet."

As soon as the leader finished speaking, the numerous bandits burst into laughter, their gazes towards Akame becoming even more intense. Girls of Akame's caliber were a rare sight indeed.

"Oh, I know."

Gently untying the ribbon bound to the white cloth, the hilt of the 'Kiri Ichimonji' sword was revealed as the white cloth was untied.

"Then go die!"

The sword was drawn and the strike was executed in one fluid motion!

Akame, who had already approached, launched an attack without warning. With her explosive power, the bandit leader didn't even have time to react before his neck was severed!
