(Harukin's POV)
- Akame ga Kill World -
Teleporting at the Capital, I arrived at the side of the bridge on the street where Aqua and Tatsumi stayed for a whole night without having a dinner.
Looking around, I saw the two of them sitting tiredly on the side of the bridge.
"Hey! Are you two okay?" I spoke.
The two of them glanced at me.
Aqua quickly jumped onto me, grabbing the collar of Yukata then she shook me,
"Sun! Listen to this. Tatsumi just..."
I immediately grabbed Aqua's wrist to stop her from shaking me,
"Stop shaking me, Aqua! I'll listen to you, okay."
Aqua pointed at Tatsumi,
"Sun, Listen to this... Tatsumi was seduced by a woman with big boobs then he got swindled of all our money. Because of that, we have to sleep on the streets without having any dinner." she complained to me.
I looked at Tatsumi with squinted eyes, being disappointed of him.
"Aqua, I didn't get seduced, okay? I was just scammed by her, hoping that she'll help us to look for our companions." Tatsumi spoke with desperate tone.
*Sigh*
I sighed then said,
"It's actually okay to be seduced by those irresistible big breast because we're men but it's not good when you've been scammed of your money."
"Eh?" Tatsumi reacted.
"Now, this shows on how just naive you really are as person from the countryside."
...
"I'm sorry, Sun. This is my fault." he said with dejected tone.
"It's fine as long as you learned your lesson."
I scanned around, looking for something.
"What are we going to do now, Sun?" he asked.
"Of course, we're having a meal first. We can't do our work without eating breakfast." I responded, looking around the streets.
The three of us started to walk around the streets.
Tatsumi walked ahead and faced me.
"What about our companions? Shouldn't we look for them first now that you're here?"
"Don't worry about them. They're going to fine." I said, passing him while tapping his shoulder.
"Eh? How can you be so sure? Aren't you worried that something bad might happen to them?" he desperately said.
"They're safe, Tatsumi. Erza just send me a message yesterday that they're travelling on the East right now while going against some vicious Danger Beast on their way."
"... Aren't they going farther away here on the Capital?"
"Well, it's better for them to get lost and not arrive here."
"Why?"
"You'll see later..."
Arriving at certain place here in the Capital, we saw some people gathering around.
"This..." Tatsumi was completely shock on what he seeing.
"The biggest reason on why I don't want our companions to arrive here is this."
Right now, we're in a place where people are executed. They're the people who got caught, going against the Empire.
(Img<<<)
The Imperial Capital often publicly executes enemies of the state with the crucifix method that serves as a warning for anyone who considers defying them.
"Sun, we have to save them! They're dying right now!" Aqua spoke, going to save the people executed on the cross.
"I think that's a bad idea, Aqua." I said, grabbing her wrist to stop her.
Aqua struggled with me, trying to pull her arm out of my grasp.
"Let go of me, Sun! As a Goddess, I can't just let this kind of things happen in front of me. I have to save them."
"I think it's better if we don't. The soldiers of Empire will go after us if we did that." I explained.
"Sun! Aqua! I think you two shouldn't cause a commotion here. The people around are watching us right now." Tatsumi said, trying to calm down the two of us.
"So, you're scared of this Empire that's why you can't save these people suffering in front of you. I wonder what will Nana, Kurē and Komekko say about you if they heard this to you right now." Aqua said sarcastically.
...
Of course I'm doing this because I'm just being cautious.
But, if Nana, Kurē and Komekko heard me saying this, they will be really disappointed of me.
Komekko think of me as coolest and amazing brother to her.
Kurē said to me that I'm her best daddy.
Nana always write in her notes on how much she loves me, her Papa.
Making them very disappointed of me as a Father and a big brother, is something I'll never be able to live with myself.
Glancing at Aqua very serious expression,
"Aqua, you just said something you should never say to me."
"Huh?"
"Me? The invincible King Crimson scared of the Empire? I'm telling you that I'm just being cautious." I said to her clearly.
Letting go of her arm, I took off the bagpack on my back and gave it to her.
"Hold my bag, Aqua."
"Eh, what are going to do, Sun?" she asked.
"I'm about to end this Empire's whole history!" I said with serious tone.
"What are you saying, Sun?! We're in public right now!" Tatsumi spoke, panicking.
Seeing the condition of the people that has been executed on the cross, I noticed something.
"Those body conditions... They're already dead." I mumbled.
This must be due to blood loss of multiple deep wound around their body.
Being shot by multiple arrows while crucified on the cross on the public as punishment, just how more crueler this Empire can be.
These kind of things are what I don't want Maple to see here in this dark world.
Now, I'm more determined to bring her to my home world.
A cute and innocent girl like her is not suited in this kind of cruel world.
"Hey! A brat like you shouldn't be here!" one of Empire guards confronted me, grabbing my left shoulder.
"Sun, I think you should apologize!" Tatsumi warned me.
Glaring at the Empire guard who approached me,
"What's with that look, Kiddo?! Are you going against me? That's means, your also a rebel that going against Empire--"
"Dark Berserker... Za Warudo!"
*BWOWOWWWWWMMMMMM*
*tiktiktiktiktiktiktiktiktiktik*
The time stopped and everything around me was frozen in places.
Looking at the arrogant face of the Empire guard, it pissed me off.
Raising my fist against him,
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!... Muda!!"
I threw a fist on his stomach.
"Kore wa Za Warudo." I mumbled, turning around then walking back to Aqua and Tatsumi.
"One second..."
"Zero." I mumbled with conceited smile.
The time began to move again.
*Thud!!*
The Empire guard suddenly flew away, spitting a blood from his mouth then crashing below the cross of executed people.
The crowd of people was very confused of what just happened to the Empire guard on how he got beaten badly.
When I passed between Aqua and Tatsumi,
"You two, let's go before they notice us." I whispered to them.
"What about those people on the cross?" Aqua asked, pointing at the people binded on the cross.
"I already checked... They're already dead. Instead of reviving them, just let them rest in peace. This world is too cruel for them to continue to live here." I responded.
.....
Aqua was silent.
She and Tatsumi followed after me, walking away from this place with full of people watching the executed people on the cross.
So... she's not used in this kind of things even though she a goddess.
"Let's just have some breakfast. It's going to be my treat so eat all you want." I said, trying to cheer her up.
...
She still look sad.
"Don't worry, Aqua. I'm gonna turn this dark world upside down that this kind of cruel things won't happen here anymore." I said, patting her head.
"Hey! Don't mess up my hair, Sun!" she complained.
I just smiled, walking ahead of her.
She pouted looking at me then she slightly smiled, nodding at me.
"Wait!" she ran, catching up with me.
"This two..." Tatsumi mumbled then he also ran, following after the two of us.
After that, we went to a expensive looking restaurant, having a breakfast.
Sitting together on a table filled with large plates of delicious food.
While eating together, the two of them eat like there's no tomorrow.
Looks like they're really hungry.
"Sun!" Tatsumi called me.
"What is it?" I responded, drinking my lemon juice on a glass.
"What did you just do to that Empire guard? What I saw is he just touched your shoulder then suddenly you disappeared beside him then he just flew away, crashing on the ground while bleeding. I don't know what really happened." he asked while eating meat.
"Nothing much. I just stopped the time and beat the sh*t out of him because he's annoying." I answered.
"Eh? You can do that?" he was surprised.
"No need for demonstration. You won't notice anyway that I stopped the time."
"Cheater." Aqua spoke while eating.
It's sounds like she complaining about my cheats.
She should tell that to the perverted Goddess that gave me this many cheats.
"You have more abilities aside from that, right?" Tatsumi stood up from his seat, tapping the table.
It seems that we're the only group of people here in the restaurant because it's too expensive that's why it's okay that he can speak a little loudly like that here with me.
"Yes... but I won't tell you." I poured another glass of lemon juice then I drink it.
Aqua didn't say anything and just continued eating beside me, ignoring our conversation.
"Then why don't we help our companions who got lost in east right now?" Tatsumi complained to me.
"Tatsumi, do you why your village is suffering right now?" I answered him with a question.
"That's..."
"Due to the corrupt government of the Empire, the villages and towns like your home village suffers from heavy taxation and many have been unable to buy enough food, resulting in widespread shortages in the remote areas."
"Aren't these the reason why you and your childhood friends move to the capital? To seek money to help your home village."
"Yes..." Tatsumi responded.
"Do you want them to see this current situation of the Empire? For me, I don't want my love ones to see these kinds of cruel things especially Maple. She's the one I most worried about. I won't let her see these kinds of cruelty in the Empire."
...
Tatsumi sat back to his seat.
"I understand... You really care about your friends. I also don't want Sayo and Ieyasu to see these kind of cruel things here in Empire." he spoke with calmed tone.
"But, what about me, Sun? How can you let me see these kinds of cruel things?" Aqua complained to me.
I looked at her with squinted eyes,
"Aren't you a self-proclaimed Goddess? You should already saw a lot of these in the history of mankind." I said to her.
"I'm a genuine Goddess, you half God!" Aqua retorted.
"That's right, As a Goddess, I already saw a lot of these unsightly things from the humankind. But I just forgotten about it because I don't want to remember them." she proudly said.
What a convenient head she had or she just got traumatized that she wants to forget about it.
...
"What are we going to do after this then?" Tatsumi changed the topic.
He looks like he didn't believe on what Aqua said about being a Goddess which is really convenient for me.
"We're going to meet some people later."
I wonder if Chelsea already sent my message to Najenda so I can talk with them.
My goal for now is to use my tracing ability on Akame's Imperial Arm Murasame. A sword that could kill a person with a single cut.
I poured another lemon juice on my glass then drink from it.
