Akame lightly swung the blade at the air, and blood dripped onto the ground. She no longer felt any aversion to killing.

Or rather, I've gotten used to it...

"You brat, what have you done!"

"Shoot! Shoot!"

The bandits immediately erupted into chaos, as they never expected that this seemingly beautiful girl would kill their leader in an instant.

However, it doesn't matter. Since the leader has been killed, it means that others will have the opportunity to fill the vacancy. Morality and such are completely irrelevant to mountain bandits.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Gunshots rang out clearly amidst the noise, but the ones firing were not the bandits, but Tsukushi, who was standing a little further back!

When it comes to using guns, she's the real expert!

"Alright, all hits!"

Tsukushi revealed a happy and innocent smile. If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, probably no one would have believed that this cute little girl was smiling because of killing.

"I...we'll go too! We can win! We definitely can!"

Because of their work, the troupe members are much more skilled than ordinary people. Although the troupe leader is not sure what the limits of Akame and Tsukushi are, he believes that taking this opportunity to boost morale is definitely the right thing to do, and will also increase their chances of survival.

Under the leadership of the troupe leader, the entire troupe launched an attack on the bandits who outnumbered them by a wide margin, and gained the upper hand in terms of morale!

Everyone is resisting the bandits in their own way. In this world, the weak cannot survive, not even the usually gentle Amria.

However, in this chaotic battle, the ones who truly withstood the pressure were Akame and Tsukushi. The two complemented each other perfectly, one taking the lead in the battle and the other providing cover. With Tsukushi's cover, Akame was able to kill efficiently without any worries. She didn't even need to worry about the blades coming from behind, because Tsukushi would take care of the attacker in the next second!

In the midst of the chaotic battle, the bandits, who had an overwhelming numerical advantage, ended up being slaughtered. Akame showed no intention of holding back, and even towards the end of the battle, she and Tsukushi wiped out every single bandit who tried to escape. The two had been taught since childhood to kill for the empire's 'peace and stability,' and these bandits who were disrupting the empire were naturally their targets.

The battle ended smoothly, and incredibly, the troupe suffered no casualties, not even a single injury!

Upon arriving at their destination, the leader gathered everyone together to celebrate the day's events.

"I never expected that we could wipe out all the bandits, and we didn't even have any casualties."

"You two are not only athletic, but you're also amazing at fighting."

Akame and Tsukushi displayed their skills in today's battle, but they did not arouse suspicion from the other members. There are quite a few people in this empire who have considerable skills in order to survive, and those bandits could not possibly force Akame and Tsukushi to use their full strength. On the surface, they are not ridiculously strong.

"To be honest, the dangerous species in the mountains are much better than them."

Akame's words were half true and half false. Dangerous species were certainly not comparable to those mountain bandits, but she hunted dangerous species not to survive, but simply for training.

"Children raised without a care in the world are really amazing."

Natalia, with her twin ponytails, made a small complaint. After experiencing the crisis, Akame could feel that she and her fellow members got along much better.

"Thank you so much. Thanks to you all, we are all safe and sound."

"We're truly saved!"

The group members were generous with their praise, and the atmosphere became even more cheerful. At this moment, the group leader suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and shouted, "I've decided!"

"There's something else that's very important and I need Akame's help with!"

As soon as the group leader finished speaking, almost all the group members' expressions changed.

"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"They're still children!"

The group members discussed among themselves, seemingly not agreeing with the group leader's decision.

"Yes, that's fine in the future, but we should tell you our true identities properly."

However, no matter what they said, the leader seemed to have made up his mind and had no intention of changing his decision.

"that……"

"Actually, we originally thought that if we could find another theater troupe, we would entrust you to them for care."

The leader walked up to the two of them, seemingly pondering how best to speak.

"Because although we are ostensibly a traveling performers troupe, we actually have another identity."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, Akame and Tsukushi both felt their hearts leap into their throats.

"Please don't..."

The two girls' gazes began to shift, but the leader didn't realize it and ultimately gave the answer they least wanted to hear.

“Everyone in our troupe is actually a group of people working together to change this country. We admire your skills and hope that one day you can join us.”

dong dong...

Akame and Tsukushi could even feel the immense force of their own heartbeats, a result of extreme emotional shifts.

"The empire is decaying, the people are suffering from poverty, and the empire's leaders are squandering their wealth and power."

"There are many people who secretly act in order to change this country, and we are one of them, collecting intelligence while traveling the streets as entertainers."

Almost without reservation, Amria, the gentlest of the two, came to their side.

"I'm sorry... Xiaozhu Zi suddenly doesn't know what to do, right? I'll explain it to you little by little."

Amria reached out and stroked the two girls' heads, and they took the girls' changing expressions as signs of confusion.

"Miss Amria..."

The voice, spoken as if addressing a stranger, came from the innocent and carefree Tsukushi's mouth. Before Amria could even react, Tsukushi had already taken out her personal weapon.

"I've already thought of an answer!"

Bang!

Gunshots rang out from inside the theater troupe's tent. Tsukushi's gun was clearly aimed at the tent roof, but the bullet accurately and cruelly pierced Amria's head...

Puff!

Blood splattered all over the tent. Amlia's beautiful face was filled with blankness and confusion. Her delicate body fell heavily to the ground. Everyone in the troupe was stunned by this sudden scene.

"Why……"

The commander's voice trembled slightly; his first reaction was not anger, but sorrow.

"They've finally given themselves away..."

Natalia, who instinctively drew two short swords, suddenly felt her arms go numb. When she looked down, she realized that her hands had left her body at some point, and blood was gushing out.

"Although you hid it very well, now that we know..."

For the first time, everyone in the troupe felt that Akame's voice was so unfamiliar.

"Target: Sabatini Theatre Company!"

"—The entire crew is wiped out!"

Kiritomo showed no mercy as he cut Natalia in half at the waist. Before the Empire's most elite assassins, they were so vulnerable, whether they resisted or not.

"You are..." The commander's voice was filled with bitterness and hatred, but the object of his hatred was not the two girls: "Empire's spies..."

"Red Eyes! You actually!"

The bald-headed Dankan gripped his spear and thrust it toward Chi Tong, veins bulging on his forehead from rage.

scoff!

Kirito's sharp blade nearly cleaved his body in two, while Tsukushi slit a hole in the tent and launched a flickering light bullet. The other members hidden around the camp also began to move.

"We haven't done anything suspicious!"

"After joining the group, we knew you were monitoring us out of caution, so we didn't dare to learn too much and continued to play the role of new members..."

Even though she was completing a task that had to be done, Akame felt a sharp pain in her heart, a real, deep ache.

"When you killed Amria and the others, didn't you care at all?"

The handsome Glenn roared angrily at Akame.

"Yes, how could I not care!"

His voice was low, even somewhat hysterical, but a mission is a mission, and since it had been confirmed, it had to be completed!

"If possible, I really wish you were just an ordinary theater troupe, but!"

"Now that we've determined that you're the ones who will bring misfortune to everyone, we won't show any mercy!"

Her mindset was quickly adjusted, and Akame became determined again, as if she had convinced herself.

"Unlucky?"

Glenn's expression went blank, then he erupted in fury.

"Look with your own eyes! What has plunged the people into misery is precisely what has turned your empire into this!"

Glen's roar had no effect. Akame swung his blade once more, and in just one exchange, he was fatally wounded.

"I...promised to change this country..."

Filled with resentment, Gran watched helplessly as Akame plunged the blade into his chest. Even if Gran was left alone, he would surely die anyway, but Akame could only feel at ease after delivering a fatal blow to her enemy.

"Run!"

Even if the regimental commander didn't want to believe it, it was too late to change anything.

"At least let everyone..."

Upon lifting the tent flap, the first thing you see is a sharp longsword.

The remaining members of the selection team, who were hiding nearby, began to act after Tsukushi gave the signal. Nahash expressionlessly pulled his weapon from the leader's body.

His body slowly collapsed, his eyelids growing heavier and heavier. In his final moments, the commander saw no hope, only the despair of his men being slaughtered…

"Leave no one alive!"

Nahashu coldly pronounced the fate of all the members present.

"Rebels who disrupt the country and bring misfortune to everyone!"

The tomboyish Bonnie moved swiftly, and when she fought without weapons, she was the most ruthless, leaving everyone she hit unrecognizable.

"Did you see that, Dad?"

"I killed someone!"
