I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Page 198

Tatsumi came to his senses instantly and almost forgot Brand's previous instructions not to call out his real name in the imperial capital.

Fortunately, he changed his mind immediately.

"Feel sorry……"

Tatsumi lowered his head and said with some guilt.

I am still too naive. If Brother Brand's identity is exposed because of me, I will be committing a great sin.

Tatsumi thought secretly in his heart, and kept this incident firmly in mind, trying not to make such a mistake again in the future.

"No, it's okay."

Brand shook his head, with a hint of worry in his eyes, and said to Tatsumi: "But you, Tatsumi, are you really okay?

If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, don’t force yourself to do it.”

Brand asked with concern.

Once, a member of their night raid suffered a minor injury while completing the mission, but he kept holding on and did not tell them that he was injured, and eventually lost his life because of it.

Because of this incident, they would check their bodies after each mission to confirm that they were not injured or poisoned, and only then would they report on the mission with their companions.

And if he is really injured or poisoned, they will provide him with treatment to avoid any casualties.

After all, we are really short of manpower for the night raid now. There are only two or three cats and kittens in total. One less person would be a huge loss.

Moreover, their organization, the Revolutionary Army, has not replenished their manpower for a long time. If Najeshitan had not returned to the Revolutionary Army headquarters from time to time to hold a meeting and convey new orders, they would have thought that they had been abandoned by the Revolutionary Army.

Well, but no matter how you think about it, this is impossible.

After all, the revolutionary army still needs them now, and it is not time to discard them yet.

As long as the Night Raid continues to assassinate officials from the Minister's faction in the imperial capital, the revolutionary army behind them will have a good "advertisement" that can attract more people to join them and join the revolutionary team to defeat the Minister and overthrow the empire.

As for what the new empire they expect will look like, that is unknown.

Looking at Brand's concerned eyes, Tatsumi felt warm in his heart.

He shook his head gently, "No, I'm really fine, I'm just a little excited."

After saying that, he smiled a little embarrassedly.

"After all, this imperial capital is too new to me. Whether it's the people or the things, everything here is so unfamiliar. But now, I'm very fortunate to be able to meet Bu... No, what about you, Brother Rand, in the imperial capital."

"tower……"

Listening to Tatsumi's heartfelt words, Brand couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. Just when he wanted to say something to respond to Tatsumi's feelings, an extremely familiar voice suddenly interrupted.

"Hey, Rand, I was just gone for a while, why are you chatting with a boy so... uh... happily?"

On the side, Leone folded her arms across her chest, leaning against the wall beside her, watching the "affectionate eye contact" between Brand and Tatsumi with interest.

According to the plan they had made previously, Brand only entered the imperial capital this morning.

That is to say...

Leone's eyes gradually became abnormal!

She looked back and forth between Brand and Tatsumi in a playful manner, and couldn't help but let out an aunt-like laugh.

"Ho ho ho ho ho"

"Hey, hey."

Brand held his forehead with one hand helplessly, "You should behave normally in front of newcomers."

"Newcomer?" Leone said with a look of surprise on his face, "You just met each other, why do you want to recruit him as our newcomer?"

"intuition!"

Brand opened his mouth and smiled, a smile full of trust that moved Tatsumi so much that he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Brother Rand!"

"Uh-huh!"

When Tatsumi's affectionate words reached Leone's ears, Leone shuddered suddenly, the hair on her body stood on end, and she couldn't help but rub her arms up and down.

"Don't worry, Tatsumi. With your strength and character, you will definitely be recognized by others!"

Brand reached out and rubbed Tatsumi's head, saying in approval.

"Hey! There are people here!"

Leone stood far away with a look of horror on his face, then waved at Brand, motioning him to come over.

"Wait a mininute."

After Brand said something to Tatsumi, he walked up to Leone.

Leone grabbed Brand's arm and dragged him to the corner.

She quickly turned around to look at Tatsumi, then whispered:

"Look, Brand, did you tell that kid what we do for a living?"

"Oh, this one, not yet."

Leona: “…”

76 Leone: I think you have a problem

Although you are not fooling a young girl, but considering your special hobby...

Leone mourned for Tatsumi from the bottom of his heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Brand gradually became strange.

I originally thought that your special habit was just a cover to hide your inner self, but seeing how serious you are now...

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have guessed what you were like inside.

Leone muttered in his mind.

"This needs the boss's approval!"

Leone warned quietly.

"Don't worry, I believe Tatsumi will definitely gain everyone's recognition!"

Brand himself is well-informed about this.

He already had a preliminary understanding of Tatsumi's strength, and Brand could see through Tatsumi's silly character at a glance. There was no such thing as deception.

In addition, he really admired Tatsumi and had a great impression of him, so he believed that as long as Tatsumi remained true to his heart and continued to maintain his "silly" character, he would definitely be recognized by his companions!

But...

What he and his companions were engaged in was "assassination profession". Although his younger brother Tatsumi had come all the way from his hometown to the imperial capital, he was not sure whether Tatsumi would feel repulsive when he heard that he was going to be a killer.

After all, Tatsumi is determined to make a name for himself and save the village through his own efforts.

If I follow them and become an assassin, I can make a lot of money, but if I want to stand out...

If his identity were to be exposed, he would become notorious.

Thinking of this, Brand's expression changed slightly.

And Leone seemed to have thought of this as well, and shrugged helplessly.

"I think you'd better tell him about this before taking him to the boss."

"I didn't think it through before."

Brand frowned slightly, put his hand on his chin, and looked thoughtful.

"But... after I tell him, won't he still be unable to leave?"

"Of course."

Leone said as a matter of course: "After all, he has seen your and my appearance. No matter how he looks at it, he will have to follow us in the future."

"Ah, that's no problem!"

Brand clapped his hands and said, "As long as Tatsumi understands everything we do, he will eventually join us over time!"

“Okay, okay.” Leone seemed to see that Brand seemed determined to let Tatsumi join, and waved his hand helplessly: “Then you go and tell that kid about our “job”.”

"By the way, remember to find a secluded place. That way, it will be more convenient to put him in a bag and carry him out of the city."

"Ow!"

Brand turned around and gave Leone a big smile.

Leona: “…”

It's over. Brand was really bewitched by the boy's beauty.

Then, Brand came to Tatsumi with an unchanged expression, patted his shoulders with both hands, and said in a slightly serious tone:

"Tatsumi, I have something to tell you, come here."

"Eh? Can't we talk about it here, brother?"

Tatsumi was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"This matter is important!"

Brand nodded heavily, then looked around cautiously, as if he was worried that someone was secretly spying on them.

"I know, brother!"

Seeing Brand's serious expression, Tatsumi quickly swallowed the questions in his mind and followed Brand to a small alley not far away.

Looking at the two people walking away arm in arm, Leone looked up at the sky with helplessness.

"Good luck to you...boy."

She silently mourned for Tatsumi in her heart.

Then, as she expected, a faint scream was soon heard from the alley.

"..." Leone's mouth twitched.

Not long after, Brand, dressed in civilian clothes, reappeared in front of Leone.

His pretty face was covered with dust and stains, as if he was a worker who had just finished his work.

He was carrying a large sack on his shoulders, which was filled to the brim. Judging from the bulging shape of the sack, it seemed to be some kind of crop.

As for Tatsumi...after being knocked unconscious by Brand, he was put into the sack very skillfully, and then Brand casually threw some crops into the sack to fill it up completely.

The feeling of being carried on someone's shoulders and having all parts of his body squeezed by hard objects, when Tatsumi wakes up he will definitely be glad that he was knocked unconscious by Brand.

"nailed it."

Brand shook his bangs on his forehead, revealing his white teeth.

Leona: “…”

"Your teeth are so white that you can tell at a glance that you are not one of those low-level commoners. You must not reveal your true colors later."

Leone raised his hand, pointed at his teeth, and reminded him.

"I can't help it. After all, there is no potion here that can stain teeth."

Brand shrugged.

Let’s not talk about Tatsumi’s feelings here. Anyway, with Brand’s activities, his stomach will definitely not feel comfortable.

"..."For the first time, Leone felt that Brand could be so tiring.

She pointed at Brand's hair.

Compared to his dirty face and clothes, his hair was absolutely not messy or dusty at all.

It might even be cleaner than Leone's own hair!

"Your hair doesn't need to..."

"No!"

Brand waved his hand firmly and refused, "Hair, absolutely not!"

Leona: “…”
