73 Four Rakshasha Demons

A few miles away from the headquarter of Path of Peace Kyoroch. A carriage drawn by two black horses can be seen.

The person driving the horse carriage wears a hoodie that covers his entire face and body. But, from his build, he seems to be in his 15's something.

" Gilga-kun. We are in front of Kyoroch already. " The boy said after knocking at the carriage's door.

Inside the carriage, Gilga is relaxing on the couch with Chelsea resting above his lap, sleeping soundly with blanket covering her body.

" Huh? We're here? Okay. " Gilga nodded when he heads the boy's voice. " You're awake right? Do your job. "  Gilga said as he pats Chelsea's cheek.

" Just a bit more... Nom... Nom... Nom... " Chelsea said.

" I see. So, you don't want to do it then? If so, then you stay here with Bols. I'll head out and investigate the surroundings myself. " Gilga sighed as he gently lifts Chelsea and let her sleep on the couch before he heads out.

" W... Wait! Let's go together. " Chelsea said as she jumped from the couch.

" *Sigh. Okay. But, go get changed first of all. I'll wait for three minutes. Go through the time limit and I'll head out alone. " Gilga sighed as he stopped Chelsea from leaving the carriage, buck naked.

Chelsea looked down and blushed before she gets changed.

" So, have you gotten used to your new physique Bols? " Gilga asked while looking at the kid in front of him.

" Uh... No... It's only been three days that I'm in this form, and all I did was driving the carriage for you. " Bols retorted. " So, when do I even have a chance to freely move with this new body of mine? " He added.

" Well, now is a chance for you to get used to it. Here, take this wooden sword and train to your heart's content. " Gilga said as he passes a wooden kendo sword to Bols.

Bols just looks at the wooden sword with disbelief. Did Gilga seriously told him to train using sword? What is he thinking? Don't he see that he used to using a gun to a sword?

" I'm finished. " Chelsea's voice came from the carriage.

Chelsea slowly walks out from the carriage as she has finished changing.

She wears a strapless white dress which outlines her hourglass figure perfectly and revealing her smooth skin. The right side of her hair is braided to the back while the other side is left flowing to her waist. Her left hand is covered in white glove, hiding the permanent scar she got from Doya.

She then looks at Gilga with smug expression. However, on contrary to what she wished for, using his hand, Gilga chopped her head while wearing an annoyed expression.

" Ouch! What's that for? " Chelsea, with teary eyes, cried out in pain while rubbing her head.

" What's with the fancy dress? We're not here for a party. " Gilga retorted.

" Eh? I thought we will infiltrate their headquarter? " Chelsea asked.

" And, you think Borick won't have guards there? Not to mention Kurome saw your face, and your wanted posters have been widely spread! " Gilga said as he takes out Chelsea's wanted poster he got from Bols.

" Oh my! " Chelsea exclaimed.

" Yeah. They work really fast for the standard of a worker of a corrupted country. " Gilga noded.

" I look a bit fat in that poster don't I? Can't they draw me better than this? " Chelsea sighed, disappointed.

" ... "

Gilga raised his hand, and once again chopped Chelsea's head.

" Ouch! What's that for again? " Chelsea cried out in pain. " If you keep hitting my head, then I'll be an idiot! " She added.

" Well, you're not so smart to begin with. " Gilga said.

" What?! " Chelsea raged as she keeps punching Gilga's arm.

" ... Gilga-kun... Chelsea-san... If you two don't mind, could you two please flirt somewhere else? " Bols said sadly as he hits a nearby tree with the wooden sword.

" ... " Gilga just stared at Chelsea wordlessly.

" Fine! Fine! I get it! " Chelsea said as she takes out a pink cosmetic box with various gems embedded into it.

She then opens the box and takes out some cosmetic utensils and swings it to the side, creating a colorful smokescreen that covers her and Gilga.

After a while, the smokescreen dissipates and two children can be seen.

One is a 12 years old boy with black hair and sky blue eyes. He wears a casual clothing and used a tattered rag that covers his entire face and body.

The other one is an orange haired girl with emerald green eyes. Her cloth is not as good as the boy's as her shirt is ripped, revealing her snow white belly, and her skirt has burn mark on it.

" ... Let's head out. "

-----------------------------------------------

Inside the headquarter of The Path of Peace.

A banquet is being held as many people wearing religious robe can be seen enjoying foods which has been placed on the tables in the middle of the room.

At the end of the room, a muscular man wearing a hat with the symbol of the Path of Peace is sitting on a throne, surrounded by four girls. He is Borick,  And, in front of him is Esdeath and the Jaeger members.

" My... I'm truly graced by your presence, said to be the strongest in the empire, Esdeath-san. " Borick grinned. " I asked for the minister someone who's proficient in melee combat because I'm feeling threatened recently... And to think he directly deployed you... There's nothing more reassuring than this. " He added.

" The people I invited here are people I believe, so please, feel free to enjoy yourselves. " Borick continued with a welcoming smile.

" The minister indeed has tasked us to guard you, so at the very least, prepare a room for us... Individually. " Esdeath said.

" But, of course! " Borick exclaimed. " And, I doubt that any of you will be bored here. " He added with a sinister grin.

Disgust fills Wave, Seryu and Run. They really don't like this man. If it's not for the mission and their captain being here, they'll assassinate him and blame it on Night Raid.

" Well, I'm not interested in those stuffs. " Esdeath shook her head. " But, I'm quite interested in the people who are spying on us from the ceiling. " She added with a grin while looking at the ceiling.

" Oh? So, you noticed? As expected. " Borick grinned as he clicked his fingers.

A few seconds later, four figures descended from the ceiling and stood in formation beside where Borick is sitting.

The group consists of two muscular men and two females.

One of the men has long purple hair that is braided till his back. His face is pale white with tattoos that resembles cut wounds drawn on his forehead, eyes till cheeks, and neck to shoulder. He is Ibara, said to be the strongest among the Four Rakshasha Demons.

The other man is an old man with huge muscular build. He has Heihachi's hair style but his hair's color is black instead of white. He also has thick moustache and long beard that grows so long that it covers his chest area. He is Sten, an old geezer who... isn't really important.

Next is the females. One of the female has black hair which is tied using bell like accessories. She is quite the looker, however she has a cut wound on her right cheek that extends till her nose, and she's flat. Although not as flat Mine. She is the " M " of the Four Rakshasha Demons, Suzuka.

Last is Mez, the daughter of Akame's former foster father. She has long blonde hair and healthily(?) tanned skin, which can be seen from her loose robe(?) that only covers her arms.

" I was lent them from the minister to control this religious group. The very picture of violence, the Four Rakshasha Demons of the Koukenji Temple. " Borick snickered.

" And here I was, wondering why I hadn't seen them in the capital. " Esdeath grinned while looking ay each members of the Rakshasha Demons. " So, they were here. "

" Hehehe. Now that you're here, General, these demons I had been using solely for defense can now be used for offense. " Borick laughed.

" Can they truly fight on par with people using Teigu? " Seryu asked.

In that instant, Ibara is already on her back with his hand positioned behind her nape.

Seryu then slightly turns her body and catches Ibara's hand before pivoting and threw him to Sten and co's direction.

" !!! "

The three of them slightly pivoted their body, dodging Ibara's body, causing him to crash on the wall.

" Oops. I put too much strength on my back. " Seryu made a 'te-hee' pose while looking at Esdeath.

Esdeath does a facepalm as she shook her head and sighed. " I'm sorry for the commotion my subordinate has made. "

" Fret not. That much wouldn't cause Ibara any harm. " Sten nodded.

" You're surprisingly strong~♪♪ I might fall for you... " Ibara smiled which looked creepy AF.

" Why thank you. But, I'm already taken so I must refuse your offer. " Seryu directly shot him down.

" !!! Wait! You have a boyfriend? " Wave exclaimed in shock.

" Hehehe... Yes. " Seryu chuckled with her face red.

" W... Who is it?! " Wave asked, causing Kurome behind him to stare at Seryu gloomly.

" It's a maiden's secret. " Seryu said while placing her index finger on her lip and winked.

" Hm... I see. Seryu. Can I meet your boyfriend? Seeing how you tried to hide his identity intrigued me a bit. " Esdeath grinned.

" O...kay... I'll tell him... " Seryu said with a bitter smile.

-----------------------------------------------

" Achoo!!! " Gilga sneezed.

He currently is in his camouflage as he is wandering around the street.

After sneezing, he felt a cold feeling that sends shiver down his spine.

' Erk... This is a bad sign for sure... What will happen...? ' He thought as he continued walking throughout the town while enjoying the foods there.

' Though not as good as mine, considering how they managed to make this in this kind of environment is very commendable indeed. ' He thought as he licked a gelato that he bought.

' I wonder how Chelsea is doing though. ' Gilga though as he heads back to where Bols is as he has finished surveying the area.

-----------------------------------------------

' Mu.... Gilga that dumbass... ' Chelsea thought as she pouted.

Currently, she is tasked with the job of surveying the civilians area by Gilga as she is still using her disguise.

This happened a few hours ago.

" Let's separate and meet up at the carriage in the evening. That way we can finish investigating the area here faster. " Gilga said as he headed to the market, leaving Chelsea with the civilians area.

' Mu... I bet he's having lots of fun there... I wanted to go there with him... ' Chelsea thought. ' Such a shame... That place would become a perfect spot for a date though. ' she sighed as she walks around the area carefully.

Without her realizing it, there are a pair of people who noticed her weird movement.

" Say, Sten... Doesn't that brat look suspicious? " Mez said as she pointed at Chelsea who is carefully treading the area without raising suspicious from the civilians.

" Hm... The way that kid moved... She seems to have gone through harsh training and countless battle... My instinct is screaming that the kid is an enemy... " Sten said.

" Then it's decided... We'll kill the brat tonight. " Mez licked her lips sadistically.

" You're wrong Mez... It's we're freeing the poor kid's soul from the tainted body. " Sten corrected with a sadistic smile.
