Miss Surtr will ignite the world

You didn't even say "task completed," how lazy you are, system.

While mentally complaining about the system's slackness, Surtr picked up the Romantic Cannon from the ground before the other party woke up.

Romantic Turret, Pumpkin. A gun-shaped Imperial Arm that can convert the user's spiritual energy into impacts. It was initially with Najenda, but was later given to Mine due to her physical condition.

I've heard that only those with the right wavelength can use Imperial Arms. I wonder if she can.

Pointing the gun at a nearby tree, Surtr pulled the trigger.

Hmm, it didn't click.

Could it be that he's rejecting her?

Frowning, Surtr released some magic power and wrapped it around the gun, the restless magic power causing the gun to heat up slightly.

He pulled the trigger again.

Hmm, very good, you managed to pull the trigger this time. A wise person seizes the opportunity.

A transparent impact shot out from the muzzle, shattering a rock half the height of a person. It veered off course a few meters, but caused no serious damage.

I didn't feel mentally drained, so the battery life should be pretty good.

It's a fun toy, but it's not very useful to her.

She prefers something functional rather than a powerful tool.

She remembered that there was an Imperial Arm that could teleport, which was pretty good; and that foundation that could transform was also quite interesting.

They are available in the store, but buying them with raw gems is too wasteful.

It's so much faster to just grab it directly.

Just as she was considering her next goal, Najendan on the ground also opened her eyes.

A slight chill still lingered in my body, but the pain had completely disappeared, and even my broken arm had been repaired.

It was like a miracle.

"It seems you're awake. How are you feeling?"

Surtr put down the pumpkin and asked.

"It's like I've been reborn. Did you save me?"

Getting up from the ground, Najendan moved her newly grown arms and eyes in surprise, and also noticed the suspicious woman wearing a hood in front of her.

The other party wasn't speaking a language Surtr was familiar with, but he could understand it. Thank God Gilgamesh in heaven.

"it's me."

Nodding, Surtr didn't explain further.

"May I ask who you are?"

“You can call me Surtr, a traveler.”

"Thanks you."

She thanked him sincerely, and with a glimmer of hope, asked Najenda.

"How are my men doing?"

"It's hopeless."

Surtr shook her head. She might be able to shake the Greater Grail, but her Lesser Grail was clearly out of the question.

"Yeah."

The answer was not beyond her expectations.

After all, she was Esdeath. Even she almost lost her life. It's a miracle she survived in that state.

If it weren't for Surtr in front of him, he would probably be dead by now.

What are your plans next?

Surtr asked a question.

“This… I plan to go and join up with the revolutionary army.”

After a moment's hesitation, Najendan revealed her plan.

Not unexpected.

From Surtr's perspective, one can see the other's current desires.

[Client: Najendan]

[Mission: To save the empire]

[Rewards: 1200 Primogems, 3 random rewards]

It's another rather ambiguous task.

To be honest, Surtr wasn't particularly interested in saving the Empire, and she didn't have much affection for the country, but having Originium Stones was a different story.

According to the original storyline, even if she did nothing, the Empire would still be overthrown by the Revolutionary Army. However, since the Holy Grail War turned into that mess, Surtr no longer believes in the storyline.

Moreover, considering the disparity in combat strength between the two sides, Surtr felt that the Revolutionary Army's chances of victory were slim.

With Imperial Arms, there is a precipitous gap between the strong and the weak.

Esdeath alone could wipe out the entire Revolutionary Army, not to mention things like the Supreme Imperial Arms.

In this world, that woman could be described as a goddess descended from heaven.

It's like a cultivator has entered a martial arts novel.

She was already extremely powerful in combat and possessed an Imperial Arm called Demon Essence, which allowed her to manipulate ice and snow. In the blink of an eye, she pacified the northern barbarian tribes, which would have taken at least a year to subdue.

In the manga, he single-handedly defends against a million soldiers and fights against countless Imperial Arms users while also creating a nationwide blizzard.

His strength is completely different from everyone else's.

Even in the Holy Grail War, it would be an extremely terrifying existence.

At least Surtr wouldn't dare say that his lava could cover the entire country, not even a single city.

The fact that the revolutionary army was able to defeat these guys is nothing short of a miracle.

She calls it a plot-driven kill.

Surtr didn't want to place his hopes on such an extremely uncertain factor.

If she were willing to join the revolutionary army, everything would be perfect, but she clearly didn't want to do that; it was too much of a hassle.

If you have the power to run rampant in this world, why should you obediently follow other people's pace?

She could easily eradicate this corrupt cancer all by herself.

Of course, she knew that simply killing wouldn't solve the problem, so there was still Najenda.

The empire is not without officials with a conscience; the other party is an imperial general, and he is not lacking in such connections.

She went to commit murder, and the other side went to work with officials to carry out reforms—a perfect plan.

Surtr once again gave himself a thumbs up for his brilliant mind.

Let's decide on that minister as our first target.

"From now on, you'll be my..."

Surtr extended an invitation to Najeshitan.

But before he could finish speaking, a loud bird song rang out from outside the forest.

Footsteps came from behind.

Turning around, they saw a blue-haired woman in military uniform walking slowly towards them.

A trembling voice came from behind me.

"Esdeath".

Akame ga Kill! Chapter 3: I've decided to take her as my underling.

This was the first time Esdeath had felt this way.

The moment I saw that figure on the dragon's back, my heart started pounding uncontrollably.

The blood of the dangerous species within his body was boiling, as if he had encountered something completely opposite in nature.

To want to defeat it, to conquer it, to dominate it.

Such thoughts kept swirling in my mind.

She had never felt this way before.

Is this what they call love at first sight?

So, she came back.

She wanted to see what kind of monster this woman she desired was.

Ignoring the extremely vigilant Najenda, Esdeath's icy blue eyes remained fixed on Surtr, a smirk playing on her lips and a gleam in her eyes.

Excitement, elation, fervor... Through her mind-reading ability, Surtr roughly knew that the guy in front of her was probably eyeing her.

They were probably seen when they arrived, since the two sides weren't that far apart.

Perhaps she should keep her scent concealment on all the time?

I'd rather not, that would be too tiring.

As Surtr looked at the blue-haired woman in front of him, a line of text flashed through his mind.

Client: Esdeath

[Mission: Conquer Surtr]

[Reward: 100 Primogems]

"..."

What's the situation?

This was the first time Surtr had ever seen his name written on a mission.

But that's not the most important thing. Why is the reward so small?

Doesn't that mean she's someone who's easy to conquer?

She glanced at Esdeath's imposing military uniform and, damn it, she was actually a little tempted.

Being conquered by the Queen is surprisingly exciting.

Damn it, stand up straight, me!

Just as Surtr's mind was in turmoil.

Behind her, Najenda, still unaware of the situation, thought the other party had come back to capture her. Holding the pumpkin, she approached Surtr, her arm trembling.

“That person is dangerous. I’m probably his target. You should leave first. If you get caught, don’t resist. They won’t harm ordinary citizens of the empire.”

Although Esdeath is ruthless to her enemies, she is quite friendly to the people of the Empire and usually treats them leniently if she is unaware of their true intentions.

Furthermore, the opponent possesses a healing-type Imperial Arm, making him a rare talent. Now, all we can do is pray that Surtr isn't some kind of spy sent by the Revolutionary Army.

Esdeath's gaze swept past Najenda, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes.

In such a short time, the other person's injuries were healed, and even their arm grew back.

It could only be the work of this red-haired woman in front of me.

Her keen intuition, honed through life-and-death experiences, told her that the woman before her was a strong person.

However, since Surtr was able to heal Najenda, he probably possesses some kind of healing-type Imperial Arm.

As we all know, a person cannot use two Imperial Arms that possess both healing abilities and the power to pose a threat. What kind of Imperial Arms has such an ability?

I'm really curious.

"What's your name?"

She wasn't in a hurry. Even though she was eager for him, she wouldn't take any rash actions before establishing a hostile relationship. At least she didn't sense any hostility from Surtr at the moment.

Surtr certainly had no hostility.
