As the ultimate boss with the coldest blood in the entire series, she now displayed a tender side. Facing Tatsumi before her, Esdeath was completely defenseless.
She was even more eager to completely possess the innocent Tatsumi.
Tatsumi seized the opportunity to reveal his thoughts to Esdeath, which was to persuade Esdeath to surrender and join Night Raid.
However, Esdeath slapped Tatsumi hard in return. How could she, a general of the Empire, betray the Empire?
But she was also deeply infatuated with Tatsumi. Esdeath stated that as long as Tatsumi stayed by her side, it would be enough.
However, Tatsumi could not accept Esdeath's domineering notions. He then displayed his manly spirit, for as the saying goes, what cannot be obtained is the best.
Seeing Tatsumi's effortless charm, Esdeath became even more infatuated.
Tatsumi knew that if he stayed any longer, something unexpected would happen, so he made an excuse to go take a bath and then escaped.
However, Esdeath declared that in order to completely capture Tatsumi's heart, she had previously bound Tatsumi tightly and taken him into the Jaegers.
At the same time, she sought advice on love from Bols, who had experience in relationships within the group.
Unexpectedly, this greasy middle-aged man had been married for six years. Bols stated that as long as one persisted in being a devoted admirer, they would surely capture Tatsumi's heart.
But this tactic seemed to have no effect on the manipulative Tatsumi. Afterward, Esdeath took Tatsumi to witness the Jaegers' sweep operation. The overwhelming power displayed by the Jaegers was no less than that of Night Raid. Seeing Tatsumi's shocked expression, Esdeath immediately declared that she would train Tatsumi to become a prime minister.
With the Jaegers being so powerful, Tatsumi, while in the palace, did not forget to observe each Jaeger member, as they would eventually be his enemies. If he could obtain information about the enemy's strengths and weaknesses in advance, it would be crucial intelligence for Night Raid.
Tatsumi immediately noticed a girl who loved to snack because her appearance was so similar to Akame's. Not only that, but her combat behavior was also identical to Akame's.
Upon inquiry, it was revealed that this girl was Akame's sister, Kurome. Kurome's words were astonishing, as she was already impatient to kill her sister Akame.
At this moment, Esdeath also arrived and announced today's mission: hunting and apprehending Night Raid.
Upon hearing that they were going to the outskirts, Tatsumi immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity to escape. Esdeath and Kurome were in one team, and Tatsumi was with Will.
Thus, Tatsumi and Will arrived at the mountains in the outskirts. While they were chatting, they were unexpectedly surrounded by nearby tree monsters.
Tatsumi immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape. So, during a break in Will's fight with the monsters, Tatsumi directly summoned Incursio and fled.
When Will realized what was happening, Tatsumi had already vanished.
Will suddenly realized that Tatsumi had escaped. If Esdeath found out, he would surely be dismembered.
Will immediately summoned his Imperial Arms, Noble Charger. This was an armor-type Imperial Arms similar to Incursio. Moreover, as a second-generation Noble Charger, its performance was far superior to Incursio.
Will's speed was far beyond Tatsumi's. Since Esdeath and Kurome were also in the vicinity, Tatsumi had no intention of fighting and his priority was to escape back to Night Raid as quickly as possible.
But Will didn't care. He directly shattered Tatsumi's armor with a heavy punch.
Due to the Empire's propaganda, Will naturally believed that Night Raid were criminals who had plunged the Empire into crisis, and their words were all slander and defamation. This directly ignited the anger in Tatsumi's heart.
Fortunately, his elder brother's words appeared in Tatsumi's mind. Tatsumi suppressed his anger and jumped again to run away, but Will pursued relentlessly and charged up a kick, directly sending Tatsumi flying into the river.
However, the next second, Will could no longer see Tatsumi. Will immediately realized that he must have swum downstream to escape and quickly ran downstream as well.
After Will left, Tatsumi, dragging his heavily wounded body, emerged from the river. It turned out that Tatsumi had used Incursio's invisibility to escape. It seemed that Will's Noble Charger did not have the invisibility feature. Tatsumi then collapsed on the ground, but at this moment, a Danger Beast suddenly appeared.
Just as Tatsumi was about to be killed, Akame appeared in time, killed the Danger Beast, and saved Tatsumi.
Because this was within Akame's monitoring range, she had rushed here after witnessing the battle between the two.
The next second, Lubbock also appeared here, grabbing the two and running.
Although Lubbock outwardly didn't care about Tatsumi's life or death, he was incredibly worried in his heart.
Meanwhile, due to Tatsumi's escape, Will was severely interrogated by Esdeath. The pathetic Will could only weep without tears.
Esdeath declared that if Will made another mistake, she would make him experience the torment of being cut into a thousand pieces. The more something couldn't be obtained, the more one desired to possess it.
Esdeath was already eager for her next encounter with Tatsumi.
At the same time, Tatsumi, upon returning to their base, immediately reported the information about the Jaegers and Esdeath to everyone. To everyone's surprise, Kurome was also a member of the Jaegers, and the strength of the Jaegers commanded their serious attention.
However, what everyone did not know was that the flamboyant transvestite had already followed the scent Tatsumi left behind and was on his way.
