Miss Surtr will ignite the world

She couldn't very well let her trade the dragon scales.

"Since you think it's okay, let's do it this way. We'll go exchange some cash. Do you want to go to a jewelry store or an auction house?"

Which one is faster?

"A jewelry store, but the prices might be lower."

"Then let's go there."

After putting away the gem, Surtr followed the other person to a bustling street.

It is also called Prosperous Street.

It's really simple and easy to understand.

After navigating through the crowds, the two arrived at a luxuriously decorated shop.

Men in suits and ties and women dressed in flamboyant attire make up the majority of the people here.

Of course, nothing like the absurd scenario Surtr had hoped for—the shop assistant mocking him for being a poor wretch and Surtr burning down all the jewelry in the store—did happen.

Upon entering the store, Surtr approached a shy-looking sales clerk, slapped the gemstone on the glass display case, and asked directly.

"I want to sell this gem. Who should I contact?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get someone right away."

After glancing at the sapphire in Surtr's hand, the shop assistant quickly lowered his head and turned to head inside.

But just as he set off, a sweet voice came from beside Surtr.

"Please wait a moment, could you please show me that gem?"

Surtr turned his head.

A girl with long, flowing yellow hair, bright blue eyes like the sky, and wearing a blue and white long dress was looking at her.

To be precise, it was the gem in her hand.

Looking at the other person, Surtr frowned almost imperceptibly and asked.

"you are?"

“Excuse me, I am Arya, and my father is Earl Hall.”

The girl lifted the hem of her skirt and gave Surtr an elegant bow. Her innocent face made her irresistibly endearing.

Of course, it would be even better if the other person's inner qualities were as beautiful as their outward appearance.

“I would like to see the gem in your hand, and if possible, I will buy it at a reasonable price.”

"of course."

Surtr smiled and handed the gem to the other person, while also deciding in his heart where he would stay for the night.

Akame ga Kill! Chapter 7: Don't come any closer!

Because of the 2D to 3D conversion, Surtr didn't recognize him at first.

It wasn't until she heard the other person's name that she realized that the young lady in front of her was the perverted nobleman who seduced the male protagonist at the beginning of the story.

Honestly, the capital city is really small.

However, considering the target audience of this type of store, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

Arya took the gem, held it up to the light, and gazed at the blue crystal that matched the color of her eyes.

A light shone in his eyes.

No one deserves this gem more than her.

Arya came to this conclusion.

"I hope I can buy it."

Clutching the gem tightly, Aria looked at Surtr with suppressed excitement and said boldly.

Name your price.

"Then, this number."

Surtr made a gesture.

"make a deal!"

The transaction went smoothly.

Although Surtr didn't know the exact price of the gem, Aria, being a mind reader, had a rough estimate in her mind, and the two completed the transaction smoothly without any haggling.

I left the store.

"Now that we have the money, let's go to the hotel. It's getting dark anyway."

Najenda looked up at the crescent moon that appeared in the sky and decided to take Surtr to the inn.

But before she could take a step, her arm was grabbed by the other person, forcing her to walk in another direction.

"Hey, where are you going? The hotel isn't in this direction."

"Why go to a hotel? We'll have our own manor soon."

Surtr spoke in completely incomprehensible words, as if he had chosen a certain direction and was walking down the street.

"The manor? You're not planning to make a move on that noblewoman, are you?"

Najenda couldn't think of any other reason besides that noble girl from before that could make the other party suddenly change their mind.

“But you only met her today. We have absolutely no evidence that she colluded with the minister.”

Is this something that can be seen at a glance?

"My eyes are a bit special; I can see things that ordinary people can't. Don't let that little girl's cuteness fool you; her heart is actually blacker than charcoal."

Releasing the other person, Surtr, clutching the money bag, pointed to his eyes with his other finger and patiently explained.

Najenda still looked doubtful; clearly, superpowers were beyond her comprehension.

You said she might be more receptive to the Imperial Arms.

"Well, I won't take action right away. I'll show you the evidence first."

It's not hard to understand from the other person's perspective, which is why Surtr will show them the truth.

"If that's the case, then okay."

Najendan nodded, then offered her suggestions.

"But if that's true, I wouldn't recommend that we stay directly in a nobleman's mansion. Nobles have connections with each other, and if someone disappears, it will be discovered very quickly."

"Well, don't worry, I have a way."

Surtr seemed quite confident, and besides, it wouldn't matter at all even if she were discovered.

If they dare to come, kill them all.

"As long as you know your limits, that's good."

The two walked down the street, and soon night fell.

Arya, who had been wandering around all day, sat in the carriage. The spacious carriage was dimly lit by oil lamps, and she held a deep blue gem in her hand, her eyes revealing her delight.

"It's so beautiful."

I couldn't help but admire it, and I wondered what kind of jewelry I should make from it.

This color would suit any shape, but the gemstone in front of us is perfect in both color and shape, and it would be a shame to destroy it.

This size would make a great brooch.

Arya held the gem to her nascent breasts and gestured with it, increasingly convinced that it was a good decision.

"Young Miss, we've arrived."

A soldier called out from outside the door.

Pushing open the door, Arya stepped down from the carriage with the help of a maid.

The familiar manor was in sight, with warm yellow light shining through the windows, and armored guards patrolling the courtyard. Everything seemed perfectly normal.

With a joyful heart, Arya entered the manor.

The girl's small shoes stepped onto the soft carpet, and she looked around in confusion.

Strange, usually when I come back, a maid will come to greet me immediately, why isn't she here today?

That won't do; servants who slack off must be punished.

As if she had thought of something happy, the corners of Aria's mouth unconsciously turned up, but as she gradually went deeper into the mansion, she quickly let it fall back down.

She noticed that the mansion seemed unusually quiet today.

"Father, Mother, are you there?"

She stopped and tried to call out.

But there was no response.

"what is this?"

Suddenly, she noticed something on the floor of the corridor, squatted down, and gently touched it with her finger.

"It looks a bit like ash."

She muttered to herself, realizing that even she felt something was amiss.

A cold draft blew into the room through the open window, sending a chill down Aria's spine.

"Father, Mother, please respond."

As she shouted, Aria quickly retreated towards the door.

She was on guard, but without any hindrance, she easily reached the door and grasped the handle.

Aria breathed a sigh of relief, then abruptly pulled him away. She strode forward and shouted at the soldiers patrolling outside.

"Hey!"

But, after uttering just the first word, Aria's voice stopped.

Disappeared.

There was nothing in sight.

The guards, maids, and even the carriage were nowhere to be seen; only the insects hidden in the grass emitted eerie hissing in the quiet night.

The ground was covered with the same white ash as inside, and the air was filled with the scorching heat of flames.

What's going on here?

Is anyone there?

Arya clutched the gem in her hand, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and forced a smile, seemingly looking away.

“I am Earl Hall’s daughter. Why don’t we come out and have a chat?”

They carefully retreated backward.

Suddenly, she felt something soft behind her head.

"what!!!"

A scream escaped her lips uncontrollably, like a startled rabbit. Aria's petite body leaped up, swinging her legs as she frantically ran towards the door.

But it didn't work.

A slender hand affectionately wrapped around Arya's shoulder, and the immense force coming from above rendered her completely immobile.

A gentle breath reached my ear, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Honestly, you're not happy now that I've actually come out."

Consciousness ceased at this point.

When I woke up again, cold light was shining down from above. I was on a hard bed, and my limbs were bound by leather straps, so I couldn't move.

Ding-dong.

I heard the sound of metal clashing beside me and turned my head.
