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

"You know so much~!" Mrs. Porus smiled and tapped her daughter's cheek, her tone full of affection.

"Hehe~" The girl raised her head and showed an extremely cute smile.

On the other hand, Hei Tong, who originally wanted to say that he was "fine", was attracted by the scene in front of him, so much so that he forgot what he wanted to say, and just stared blankly at the family in front of him, without saying a word for a long time...

……

……

Not long after, Kayaba Jingyan successfully arrived at Esdeath's mansion in the imperial capital.

He walked in through the gate skillfully, skillfully avoided the patrolling guards, and after skillfully searching the mansion, Kayaba Akihiko skillfully came to Tatsumi's room.

"I hope it's not what I imagined..."

Looking at the empty bedroom, Kayaba Jingyan's expression looked very helpless at this moment.

Then, she came to Esdeath's bedroom.

As the owner of this mansion, Esdeath's room is naturally very spacious, and the various facilities and compartments inside are also extremely complete. It can be said that nothing is missing.

And it is precisely because of this "not lacking" that Esdeath can complete various tasks in this bedroom without having to run to other places in the mansion...

It was precisely because of this that there were several times when Kayaba Akihabara came to see Tatsumi and would leave in embarrassment.

It was not until later that Kayaba Akie realized that the voices he had heard before were the voices of Esdeath unilaterally "beating" (SM) Tatsumi, and it was not what she thought at all...

From then on, Kayaba Jingyan could no longer be nervous...

Fortunately, this time Tatsumi did not disappoint Kayaba Akiya.

He is indeed in Esdeath's room now!

Outside the door, when Kayaba Jingyan heard Tatsumi's screams and Esdeath's angry scolding and encouragement, Kayaba Jingyan leaned against the corner skillfully.

Although it is still impossible to talk to Tatsumi alone now, after Esdeath finishes training Tatsumi, she will go out to eat with him as usual.

Only then will it be time for me and Tatsumi to talk alone.

"But, they have been living together for so many days, why haven't they done it yet?"

Could it be... that this is Tatsumi's problem? !

After all, no matter how bad Esdeath's personality is, her figure and appearance are still rare beauty.

Tatsumi has been living with her these days, but the two have never had any substantial relationship, which makes Kayaba Jingyan doubt Tatsumi...

107 Tatsumi: In?

Perhaps because he noticed the arrival of Kayaba Akihabara, Tatsumi quickly and passively ended his training.

Well, actually, he really had no strength left, so Esdeath unilaterally ended his training.

inside the room.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tatsumi. You've made great progress in the past few days."

Esdeath, without a trace of fatigue on her face, showed a touching smile. She stretched out her hand and pulled up the man who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath.

Esdeath's hands were very white, without a trace of calluses from labor or exercise. They looked like the hands of an aristocratic princess, soft and boneless.

However, it was this kind of person who beat Tatsumi so badly that he had no power to fight back.

"I'm still too weak..." Tatsumi smiled bitterly, raised his arm with difficulty, held Esdeath's hand, and stood up with her help.

"For ordinary people, you are already very strong."

Esdeath comforted softly, her deep blue eyes full of appreciation and relief.

The fact that her future lover is working so hard to improve himself and wants to reach the standards she sets makes Esdeath, a strong woman who has never been in love, even more moved.

With Esdeath's support, Tatsumi smiled bitterly with a hint of self-mockery, "An ordinary person... I really don't know when I can become as strong as you."

Esdeath also started from a weak position and worked her way up to where she is now, so it is impossible for her not to understand what Tatsumi is thinking.

She picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off Tatsumi's face. "I remember there are still a lot of unclaimed imperial artifacts in the treasury. I'll go find His Majesty after the court meeting is over tomorrow.

As long as you can get the recognition of an imperial weapon, Tatsumi, your strength will be greatly improved."

"Hey, you don't have to go to such lengths for me, Esdeath!"

Tatsumi shook his head, an anxious look on his face.

Although I don't have that kind of feelings for Esdeath, Esdeath has been sincere to me these days.

He completely treated himself as one of his own, and even recognized the three beast warriors and the hunter team under Esdeath.

I was not allowed to leave during meetings and discussions.

He even planned to join the hunters and gain merit after obtaining the imperial weapon. Even his future path was paved!

As for me, I will definitely betray her in the future!

Therefore, when Esdeath wanted to give him something, Tatsumi always refused it vigorously, saying that the feelings were not there yet and he would wait until the feelings were there enough and give it to him later.

As for living together these days...it's not that he really can't do it, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

If he really decided to join the Empire's camp and be with Esdeath sincerely, then he would naturally not refuse. At most, he would pretend to refuse and then accept it half-heartedly.

But unfortunately, Tatsumi didn't have that idea!

He is still very firm in his political stance!

Never be tempted by beauty and power!

However, Tatsumi didn't know how long his determination could last. After all, Esdeath was so good to him that there was no fault of hers at all.

This also made Tatsumi extremely tormented.

"It's okay." Esdeath looked as if she didn't care at all. It felt as if the imperial weapon she mentioned was a commodity on the roadside that she could pick up and decide whether to buy.

"Those imperial tools are just gathering dust in the national treasury anyway, so it doesn't matter if I let you try them."

Esdeath reached out and pinched Tatsumi's cheek. "Besides, if you succeed in gaining the approval of an imperial weapon, then we will have more energy to deal with those rebels in the night raid."

Tatsumi: “…”

Sorry, I am the traitor you mentioned...

"Okay, go wash yourself. I'll wait for you in the restaurant, Tatsumi."

Finally, Esdeath rubbed Tatsumi's face hard, then stood up and let him go, preparing to go to the kitchen to make something delicious.

As for why Tatsumi didn't wash herself in Esdeath's room...

With his courage, would he dare?

I'm afraid that if I come out, I'll be raped by King Esdeath~

"Ah."

Tatsumi responded while rubbing his face.

However, when Esdeath walked out of the bedroom, her steps slowly stopped.

She looked in the direction where Kayaba Jingyan was, her brows slightly furrowed, seeming a little uncertain.

"Shh!"

The next moment, Esdeath suddenly raised her arm, and an extremely sharp ice cone instantly appeared in her hand.

laugh--

The wall in front of him was as soft as tofu and was easily pierced by the ice spike.

Kakakaka——!

"No? Could it be that I have been too lax these days and always imagined that an enemy would appear beside me?"

Esdeath loosened her grip on the ice cone, and the ice cone that easily pierced the wall instantly shattered into countless tiny powders and slowly fell to the ground.

"What's wrong, Esdeath?"

Inside the house, Tatsumi poked his head out and asked.

"No, nothing." Esdeath suppressed her doubts, smiled, and said to Tatsumi, "Go wash up, I'll wait for you in the restaurant."

"Okay." Tatsumi nodded.

Esdeath turned and left with satisfaction.

However, what Esdeath didn't know was that the moment she turned to leave, Tatsumi looked around like a thief, then took a few steps back to make room for the door.

"exist?"

He asked softly to the empty room.

"exist."

The next moment, he heard Kayaba Jingyan's response, which was as soft as a mosquito.

"What I want to tell you is a bit complicated. I can't finish it in a short time. Let's talk in the bathhouse."

"Okay!" Tatsumi's expression changed slightly and he quickly agreed.

He straightened his clothes and then walked towards the bathhouse of the mansion as if he were at home.

At the same time, he was still wondering what was going on that required the other party to ask him to find a place to explain it alone.

You know, in the past, Kayaba Jingyan would just leave after conveying the message. Not like today, where she had to avoid everyone's eyes and ears in the bathhouse and use the bathing time to explain the matter.

“Could it be… that something happened to the people who were on the night raid?” Tatsumi was confused. “But Esdeath and her subordinates haven’t gone out on any missions these days… What exactly happened…”

The urgency in his heart urged Tatsumi.

Soon, he arrived at the mansion's luxurious bathing area.

After skillfully finding a small private room, Tatsumi entered the water and asked again, "Are you there?"

Kayaba Jingyan: "..."

108 Death Dinner

"Your companions have already evacuated the Imperial Capital."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Kayaba Akihabara went straight to the point.

Wow!

Tatsumi was so shocked that he stood up and almost dropped his towel, "What?!"

Afterwards, I saw his little face turn, and then he sat back with a plop.

Although Kayaba Akihabara did not reveal her appearance when she was delivering the message to him, she always wore an invisibility cloak.

However, Tatsumi was not so stupid that he couldn't even tell the gender of the owner of the voice.

Although he didn't know that Kayaba Akie had a female body and a male soul, as a grown boy, he still had the shame he should have.

"We have already begun to prepare for action, and Ernest, or the minister as you call him, will die soon!"

"So, in order to prevent the Empire from encircling you with all its might, your companions had no choice but to withdraw."

“Is… is that so…” Tatsumi responded blankly with the word “shocked” written all over his face.

"Yes." Kayaba Jingyan nodded and continued, "Your safety will be guaranteed by us... But I always feel that it seems more appropriate to let Esdeath do this..."

As she spoke, Kayaba Akihabara teased Tatsumi, which was rare.

"No, no, no, I am still a member of Night Raid after all. I will have to leave sooner or later. How can I keep bothering her..."

If I let her take care of me all the time...can I really make up my mind to fight her when the time comes?

Tatsumi questioned himself in his heart.

The originally firm will began to waver.

Kayaba Jingyan said: "Who knows what will happen then."

Tatsumi asked helplessly: "So what should I do in the future?"

"Just get stronger. Once you're strong enough to survive Esdeath's attack, you can wait for our rescue."

Um, what you said seems to be very sure that I will leave her in the future...
