It was a day for Tatsumi to train with Mine, but Mine was too fond of sleeping in, so Tatsumi decided to go inside and wake her up. He thus got an early glimpse of his future wife's figure.
Tatsumi hadn't expected Mine to be so passionate, having already prepared sparks for their future romance, and proceeded to blast apart the entire dormitory building.
In the afternoon, Mine took Tatsumi to the center of the Imperial Capital. Tatsumi couldn't help but wonder if it was really okay to walk so openly on the streets of the capital.
Mine replied that it was fine because only those four individuals had exposed their faces.
Tatsumi then looked at the wanted posters on a nearby wall, but who was the one in the middle?
He didn't recognize them at all.
Mine told Tatsumi that it was Brand, and that this was Brand when he was still a soldier. After Brand joined Night Raid, he changed his hairstyle.
Indeed, hairstyles were extremely important for men, which was why some talented individuals could brazenly carry out investigation missions here.
Hearing this, Tatsumi immediately became motivated.
However, the so-called investigation mission consisted of accompanying Mine for dessert and carrying things for her.
Tatsumi inwardly felt immense disdain, but in the next second, he was sent flying by Mine. She was clearly a tyrannical superior.
Just then, Tatsumi was drawn to a gathering crowd nearby, which turned out to be a public execution.
Only the current wicked minister, who had ruthlessly helped the young emperor win the succession dispute, could casually commit such a cruel act.
Meanwhile, within the palace, the young emperor was sentencing the Minister of Internal Affairs, Shao'er, to crime. The so-called charges were fabricated accusations.
The mastermind behind all of this was the minister who secretly held power behind the emperor.
This grotesque-looking, meat-chewing fatso was the minister, and his purpose for doing all this was to satisfy his own selfish desires and possess the beautiful wife of the Shao'er family.
On the other side, Night Raid once again received an assassination request, which was to eliminate the minister's distant relative, Karl.
The crime was kidnapping women in the minister's name and committing violent acts, leading to their deaths.
The five mercenary soldiers from the Ku Ma Camp who guarded him were also charged with the same crime.
Because this mission was rather important, the entire team had to be deployed. Tatsumi and Mine were responsible for sniping Karl from a distance, while the other five were tasked with eliminating the pursuers.
Mine let out a sharp gasp and then entered full concentration breathing.
At this moment, Karl was within Mine's firing range, but there were many non-targets surrounding him.
However, Mine showed no hesitation and pulled the trigger, her bullet headshot Karl.
Tatsumi, standing nearby, was stunned. Mine declared herself a shooting prodigy. Because Karl had died suddenly, his five mercenaries immediately came out to search for the killer, but they encountered Akame, who was blocking their path alone.
However, only four of the five were fighting Akame, meaning one had gone to pursue Mine and Tatsumi.
Meanwhile, Mine and Tatsumi were heading to the rendezvous point as planned.
Along the way, Mine also revealed her past to Tatsumi. Mine was from near the western border and was of mixed ethnicity, so her entire childhood was spent being discriminated against by others.
However, later, the Revolutionary Army formed an alliance with the Western ethnic groups. If a new country could be established, diplomacy would be broad, and there would be no more national differences. Simultaneously, no child would experience a childhood of discrimination.
Hearing this, Tatsumi couldn't help but admire Mine's resolve. However, the reality proved that he had overthought it; this brat had no such high-minded resolve at all.
Just as they reached the rendezvous point, a mercenary suddenly appeared and punched Tatsumi, sending him flying. Mine immediately engaged in a gunfight, but how could an ADC stand against an assassin?
Just as the mercenary was about to take Mine's head, Tatsumi timely blocked the attack, but his blade was also struck by the mercenary. Seeing this, Tatsumi immediately abandoned his blade, grabbed the mercenary from behind, and then told Mine to quickly shoot and kill the mercenary. Mine responded with a flick shot, piercing the mercenary directly. Mine couldn't help but acknowledge Tatsumi's integrity.
In conclusion, the operation was considered a complete success.
