Miss Surtr will ignite the world

"Najshitan, do you still intend to return to the Empire?"

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

He knew from the beginning that Surtr and Najenda were mixed up together.

Treason is unforgivable, but there were reasons for it, and out of respect for Surtr, he was willing to give him a chance.

"this......"

Najenda looked surprised and subconsciously glanced at Surtr, now that she was considered Surtr's subordinate.

"You can decide for yourself."

Surtr waved his hand.

"Thank you."

Najendan thanked her, bowing slightly, her tone earnest.

"If Your Majesty permits."

Although she did not regret her actions, no one would like to be labeled a traitor forever.

"Very well, but your actions have indeed caused losses to the empire, and it is impossible for you to be reinstated."

"let me see."

He lowered his head and pondered.

Suddenly, the young emperor felt he had come up with a great idea.

"How about I let you work under General Esdeath?"

He turned to look at Esdeath, who remained silent behind him, and uttered a startling statement.

"What is the general's opinion?"

All eyes immediately fell on the other person.

Esdeath looked up at Najenda, whose face was stiff, and a pleased smile appeared on her lips.

"Of course, I don't think there will be another opportunity to make a former general my subordinate."

It seems that Najenda's life will be quite difficult from now on.

Surtr thought to himself.

Meanwhile, a subtle expression appeared on the face of Liva, who was standing to the side as a backdrop.

Although the candidates were different, Niu was right.

Those three beast warriors will probably soon be renamed the four beast warriors, and the member will be Najenda. Those two will probably be shocked when they get back.

"Then it's decided. Najenda doesn't have any objections, right?"

The young emperor clapped his hands, his face beaming with obvious joy.

Although it's a bit of a shame that Surtr wasn't recruited to the Empire, he has already agreed to cooperate with the Empire in the future, and has even managed to bring back the general they lost.

The mission can be considered a success.

"Yes... Your subject obeys."

Najendan bowed her head and accepted the order, but her tone didn't seem very happy.

That's to be expected. Just recently, Esdeath almost killed her. She was lucky to escape with her life, but then she fell into the other party's clutches again.

It's so unpredictable.

"Don't worry, even if you're about to die, I can bring you back to life."

Surtr patted the other's arm, offering a completely ineffective consolation.

"I don't feel at all safe; in fact, it's even more terrifying."

Najenda felt that Esdeath's smile seemed even brighter on the other side.

It must be my imagination.

"Now that you're all companions, why don't you move to the palace too? It'll be more convenient that way."

The young emperor made the suggestion, speaking in a tone as if inviting a classmate to his home.

"That's not a problem, but I wonder if there are too many rules in the palace. I prefer more freedom."

Surtle asked, though she figured it probably wouldn't be as free as when she went there at night.

"There are some, indeed. If you don't like them, I can arrange accommodation for you in the inner city."

"In that case, how about staying at my mansion?"

Behind her, Esdeath made a suggestion.

“I also have a mansion in the inner city, but I don’t usually live there.”

"That's certainly a good suggestion. What do you think, Miss Surtr?"

"I have no objection."

"Then it's settled. Oh, right, there's one more thing."

As if remembering something, the young emperor's expression became somewhat hesitant.

"Did you put that statue in the slum?"

"It was indeed me. I did set restrictions, so it won't cause any harm."

Surtr admitted it.

"The security issue has been confirmed. What I'd like to ask is, is the legend that the First Emperor will awaken true?"

Although such a thing is really too incredible, since the statue can really grant wishes, it seems that it is not impossible for it to awaken the First Emperor.

If this is true, it would be a great relief to see his empire reduced to this state.

Ugh.

The young emperor agonized over this issue until very late last night before finally falling asleep, and even had a dream in which the First Emperor came to reprimand his unworthy descendants.

I've been really bothered by it.

"Don't worry about that."

Surtr waved his hand, giving the other party an affirmative answer.

"That's just publicity; that statue doesn't have that much power."

"Really? That's good."

The young emperor patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he wouldn't be scolded by his ancestor anymore, but at the same time he was a little disappointed that he couldn't see that legendary ancestor.

"But why would you put such valuable things in the slums?"

The emperor asked.

"Because I want to make life better for ordinary people."

Surtr started rambling again.

Upon hearing this, the young emperor lowered his head in shame.

"It's clearly my country, yet it's causing you so much trouble. I'm such a useless emperor."

"..."

How did you suddenly become depressed?

Akame ga Kill! Chapter 31 Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Three poles in the sun.

On the top floor of the mansion, in a room filled with a girlish atmosphere.

Arya sat in front of the mirror. In just over ten days, her once rosy cheeks looked much more haggard than when they first met.

Although Surtr did not restrict her freedom, the thought of having a worm in her head made Arya feel nauseous no matter what she did.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, her beautiful face twisted in pain, and she uttered vicious words.

"Why isn't that guy dead yet?!"

then.

boom.

A sticky, reddish-white substance suddenly splattered onto the mirror.

"It's done."

At the gate, Surtr snapped his fingers and nodded to himself.

"What's done? Hurry up and get in the car."

From the carriage behind them, Najenda looked at Surtr, who was still reluctant to get in, and asked.

"It's just another way of cleaning up a few pests for this country."

With that, Surtr turned and boarded the carriage.

The move was quickly arranged.

She hadn't been here long and didn't have much luggage. After taking her maid and Seryu, she could set off immediately.

Now that there's no need to hide their identities anymore, there's naturally no need to keep those guys around.

These guys were really poor; the family of three only had six stones.

He was just a minor character, as expected.

After closing the carriage door, Liva, acting as the driver, flicked the reins and drove the group toward the inner city.

This was Surtr's first time entering the inner city through official channels; he usually sneaked in, so it was quite a novel experience.

He propped his cheek up with his hand, his gaze fixed on the view outside the window.

Compared to the outer city, the buildings in the inner city are more regular and uniform.

It's less a city and more an inner city that's part of the royal palace, only the area is unusually large.

There were many patrolling guards along the way.

Compared to the thuggish guards outside the city, the soldiers here are clearly much more professional.

Has the number of guards increased again?

It shouldn't be her problem.

surely not.

Ignoring these details, her gaze was drawn to something else.

However, it was a huge building like a castle, surrounded by towering walls, with a tightly closed gate made of gold and iron, and a dark black wreath hanging on it.

Through the gate, one can see figures dressed in black moving around in the courtyard from time to time.

That's really an unlucky decoration.

Where is that?

"Surtr asked."

"That's the minister's residence. It's almost time for the funeral."

The young emperor followed her gaze to the outside of the carriage and explained.

"Funeral? Holding a funeral for a minister? Isn't that a waste of resources?"

It's just that there's no body of that guy, otherwise it would be good enough to just feed him to the dogs, but they actually have to hold a funeral for him.

"I realized something was wrong with the other person in the last couple of days, but the funeral preparations had already been completed before that."

The young emperor blushed slightly. If he hadn't gone on an incognito visit, he would still think of his ministers as his right-hand men.

"Alright, but it's been almost half a month since Minister Li died. Does the country really need a funeral that long?"

Surtr was puzzled.
