Chapitre 38: Chapter 38: Alliance
~Third POV~
After the quick capture of Night Raid, every member was now tied up only those that tried to kill the Tatsumi group were tied up except for Mine and Sheele that agreed that they didn't want to fight.
As the group was tied up Tatsumi was first to break the conversation in a cheerful tone, "Now then if everyone here is done trying to kill me and my friends I will let you go and we can talk about this peacefully?"
The members that attacked just shot a glare at him but they reluctantly agreed since he holds all of their Teigu's and with their abilities, they could've to end them when they had the chance.
With that Echidna untied them with her unseen hands and the next thing was Bulat asking the obvious question, "Ok then handsome how did you get my Teigu [Incursio] and why did it change more the last time."
Tatsumi felt a cold shiver from Bulat responded in a calm but scared tone, "Yeah…h… sorry Bulat but I'm interested in woman, not guys but to your question of how I got it I came to your base unnoticed with my magic and one thing lead to another I managed to obtain the [Tyrant] power myself as well as beat the Danger Beast soul into mine very scary you know."
As the answer left Tatsumi's mouth the members were surprised on how and when Tatsumi knew of their base location but they couldn't refute it wither since Tatsumi holds [Incursio] power and forms.
Nodding their heads, they agree with it Akame asks in a blank voice to him, "I see… in that case what do you get out of this then… what do you get out of this then."
Tatsumi replies to her in a confident voice about his side of the offer, "Not much honestly but I do want to help you guys honestly I do but I want to change the Empire for the better under the side of Revolution even I noticed how corrupt is the Empire is."
Next to speak was Leone in a calm tone not trying to piss off the people in power, "Ok… if you know how corrupt this Empire is and you willing to help us what do you get out of this?"
Tatsumi looks at the ceiling of the living room as he speaks his mind out loud truthfully, "Really? I want this Kingdom to have peace so that I can live my life in peace without worry of my life but also help people out everyday life teaching and learning as much as I can. What I want is to live my life."
Tatsumi closes his eyes again as he reopens them towards the assassins as he says his response to them, "What I desire is the freedom to live my life but the Empire would get away with my goals at its current affairs so I want to create my own place to live in peace as well as create things to help the common man my own way."
Everyone remains quiet after his speech.
Tatsumi glances at them as he says to them an offer in a serious voice, "As the way, things stands now how about we form an alliance of sorts with me being a noble status I can help you gather more information from the inside and knowing I can handle myself well in a fight."
The group of assassins took the offer with serious thinking as Akame finally speaks out loud her opinion of her mind, "We can't accept your offer till the boss gives us the ok… I'm afraid it's impossible at this time…"
Tatsumi knowing was happening looks over to Bulat as he brings out the [Water Sword] he got from Erza as he tosses it over to Bulat surprising him, "Sigh… here you go Bulat I do owe you a favor since I took your weapon. What you hold is a new weapon [Water Sword] it allows you to manipulate water or generate from the blade just accept it as a replacement."
Bulat took the sword and tried it out with clear joy on his face keeping a new weapon for himself as he winks at Tatsumi.
Tatsumi shivers at Bulat's response.
Bulat replies to Tatsumi with a grateful tone of gratitude as he swings the new [Water Sword] in his hand, "This sword certainly has a good balance and the way it moves is certainly nice although I prefer my [Incursio] this [Water Sword] would be a good replacement thanks Tatsumi but you can call me big bro if you want."
Tatsumi quickly made his response known without skipping a beat, "Yeah how about no in the near forever future... ever..."
The group of assassins laughed at this seeing that the power he holds acts like a kid to their eyes, but Echidna brings the attention.
Echidna now has the floor speak in an honest tone clapping her hands together, "Alright then now that everything has been said how about this. Akame you speak to your leader about our offer or anything else you can say to him or she then sends in one of your members to meet again to confirm the agreement."
The rest of the assassins could only nod in agreement as Mine soon asked about their weapons in an annoyed tone, "Sigh… well see if our boss considers but can you hand us over our weapons again."
Tatsumi shrugs his shoulder as he returns most of their Teigu's except for Mine weapon Pumpkin as she gets annoyed by him not returning it to him.
He asks the assassins that he'll keep Mine Teigu in a serious voice to them, "Ok but I'm keeping Pumpkin till your boss gives me her answer, after all, you did try to kill people working here and the people that were kept as prisoners from the original family members that are gone also work here as well ensuring that I give them a chance to live their life."
Hearing Tatsumi's response now made the assassins made somewhat guilty since they haven't heard that the people that were kept in the basement of the Aria family were working inside the mansion yesterday.
With that Mine could only sigh for the time being since she isn't getting her weapon back thus making Night Raid leave with conflicted feelings and a happy Bulat getting a new weapon.
Echidna holding Pumpkin caressing it like a baby as she found a new toy to play with.
Tatsumi glances over to Echidna as he asks her what she plans to do, "Echidna are you going to be researching the Teigu all night?"
Echidna was grinning with a small amount of drool dripping down on her mouth slowly tracing down the weapon with a smile, "Oh… you have no idea… I'm about to wreck this thing to discover its secrets although I might have to ask Ruby for help on the mechanical subject. Since she is a fan of weapons, I think more her expertise help with this."
Tatsumi does a spit take out of the words Echidna said making Beatrice slam her hand on her head.
Echidna blinks innocently at the reactions as she asks the two of them for their reaction, "Dear and Beatrice what is with that reaction? Did I say something wrong?"
Tatsumi was stunned by this woman's lack of common sense till he was reminded that Echidna was anything but normal.
Shaking his head he stretches out his body for the night as he begins to go to his room as he says to Beatrice and Echidna in a tired voice, "Well then Echidna I wish you a good night rest then you can start tomorrow and I have a feeling that the guards are coming here soon to determine what happened today. Well, then good night you two."
Echidna and Beatrice both say good night to Tatsumi and return to their rooms.
As Tatsumi arrives in his room he jumps in his bed thinking about the growth he came across ever since he has gotten a chance to sign up for the group chat and he was glad to meet the people he along the way.
Tatsumi talks to himself in a calm voice remembering the times he's been through, "Man 15 years old and crazy stuff happened to me… I'm glad to have joined the group chat and meet with the rest of the members and get as strong as I am now."
As Tatsumi was enjoying his time in peace fate took its chance to send every member of the chat group another mission for them to do.
