Uyehara Emi

Embers of ambition swirled in Riza's mind.

She could imagine how smooth sailing her life would be if she seduced the kid in front of her.

Of course, the purple-haired girl might become a problem but Riza didn't have the time to care about her.

'Whore!' Thought Akito looking at the change in Riza's eyes. She was looking at him with hunger.

Akito blinked before exchanging glances with Saeko. 'Such a vicious woman.'

To think she was trying to push all the blame on Hizaki, just like how Hizaki seemed to be pushing all the blame on Riza.

It wasn't like Akito trusted Hizaki but Riza's expression and body language gave it away.

If he had still been heated and had anger clouding his mind he might've believed her words.

Even looking at the woman anymore was repulsive. He lifted his foot and let go of her hair. He kicked her face causing her to screech in pain.

"Just die already." He stepped forward and raised Muramasa with a cold gleam in his eyes. She had killed little children out of annoyance, could anyone drop lower than this?

Suddenly Saeko grabbed his hand and looked at him without any emotions.

He was confused. Why did she stop him? But only a second later he figured the reason out.

"Let me do it." Her voice was sharp and filled with disgust. Akito sighed in his heart, it was understandable for Saeko to be just as mad as hi- no, she might be even angrier.

Akito let go of the sword and nodded.

"WAIT! Why!?" Riza's face that was throbbing with pain wasn't something she could care about at the moment, "I've already told you everything I know!"

But seeing Saeko ignore her words and walk towards her caused her to almost faint with fear.

Her eyes filled with desperation turned towards Akito, she got onto her knees and immediately begged, "Please let me live! I'll be your slave, warm your bed every day, do whatever you want with me and I won't complain!"

Saeko paused and her face turned frosty, 'This bitch. Has she gone crazy?'

It wasn't like Akito would suddenly ask her to stop and spare her? That would be the most hilarious thing in the world.

Even if he did she wouldn't listen. This scum was dying today no matter what.

She raised her sword and the temperature dropped causing Riza's face to turn pale white.

Just as she was about to decapitate Riza Akito's soft voice sounded from behind, "Saeko... Wait."

Saeko's hand stopped and her eyes widened in absolute disbelief. She trembled and slowly looked back, asking in a daze, "Why?"

"Don't kill her yet."

Riza's expression brightened up and her face flushed in excitement, 'Did I catch a horny kid?'

But soon her expression cracked as Saeko's voice sounded.

"No, I will."

Saeko's voice was cold, something extremely foreign to Akito.

'Hmm,' Looks like he had caused her to misunderstand. His eyes turned towards Riza and they were as frosty as they were before. "I'm not telling you to spare her but won't it be extremely unfair to the kids who she killed if she died so painlessly?"

Akito was someone who didn't have many friends, his grades were just above average, and wasn't into any sports. To someone like him who had all the time in the day searching the internet for random stuff was common.

One of the random knowledge he had was that a smooth and sleek instant decapitation would cause immediate spinal shock, resulting in a complete loss of sensation.

Muramasa was unnaturally sharp and if Saeko couldn't even decapitate a normal human without pain then it would be an insult to her sword mastery.

Let her die without pain? That would be unfair to the kids and poor Hizaki, wouldn't it?

His voice was like death's whisper to Riza as her mind turned blank. 'What?'

Even Saeko froze for a second before letting out a beautiful grin. Her heartbeat rose as a small red hue covered her cheeks.

It wasn't that she couldn't kill Riza without having her feel pain worse than death but she feared her hidden side would surface... The part of her that enjoyed causing people pain.

Once it was let out it would be hard for her to control herself.

But it should be fine now, right? He wanted this slut to feel pain just like her, he wanted to enjoy seeing this slut in pain too, right? He was similar to her, wasn't he?

They had just ruthlessly killed Hizaki. Her heart thumped every time Akito broke his limbs and the indifferent look he had while Hizaki was being devoured was too unbearably heart-wrenching.

Thankfully she was standing behind him and he didn't notice anything.

Her head slowly turned back to Riza. Riza noticed this and her face contorted into pure terror. The seemingly cold purpled hair girl had a huge grin on her face and a mad look in her eyes. The slight blood on her face made the scene all the more creepier.

A disgusting smell spread as her pants grew wet, staining the floor. Saeko frowned, "You have quite the guts to soil my home." But Riza wasn't able to hear it as she passed out of fear.

Saeko's eyes turned into crescents, "How about you go and check out the condition of the kid outside, Akito. As for her, I'll lock her up for now."

Oh how much she wanted to drive her sword into the woman in front of her but that could be done later, they had all the time in the world for that.

The safety of the child came first. No matter how much of a sadist she was, her priorities were straight.

"Hmm, Okay." Akito turned around and left. The sound of something being dragged away entered his ears but he ignored it.

Currently, his state of mind was weird. He didn't think in just under a month he would be torturing people and what was even stranger was that he felt nothing about it.

Was this state of calmness due to the ten-year experience as a martial artist embedded into his memory?

Well, a boon was a boon. He couldn't ask for more.

He had another purpose for inviting Saeko with him, It was to get closer to her and break the final barrier between them. It would only be time before Saeko's sadist side surfaces, so why not right now?

They even had the perfect specimen for it.

Akoto himself wasn't a sadist. He didn't feel any pleasure while breaking Hizaki's limb and nor did he enjoy seeing Hizaki get eaten alive by zombies but he wasn't disgusted by it.

He didn't feel anything

That was it.

Blood and gore weren't going to be something foreign to him any longer. Thus it was better to get used to it as soon as possible.

...

It didn't take him long to find the little girl from earlier. She was hiding behind a tree while hugging her knees, occasionally peeking out.

She was quite adorable but the wounds on her body made her seem so pitiful. Akito's heart melted by her timid expression.

The girl peeked out once again and this time saw Akito coming toward her. She flinched and quickly hid again.

Akito made his way over and leaned forward. He saw the girl had her hands clasped together as if praying. He wryly smiled and said, "I'm with the big sister from before, you don't have to be afraid."

Maybe it was because Akito's voice was as warm as Saeko's she subconsciously nodded her head.

She got up and approached Akito. Akito crouched down and patted her head softly, "What's your name?"

"Emi, Uyehara Emi."

"A beautiful name." He said causing her to smile a bit, "My name is Akito, Raijin Akito."

"Mmmm," The girl nodded but suddenly her face flushed red as a sound came from her stomach.

Growl~!

"Pfft, ahahah," Akito couldn't control himself and Emi pouted in embarrassment, "D-don't laugh."

'So adorable.'

"Okay, let's have you fill your stomach first."

Emi's eyes brightened and she followed Akito.

Akito headed towards the other compound of the house. The state of the entrance wasn't exactly suitable for a child like Emi to view.

He got her to follow him to his guest room, the place where he had been staying for seven days.

It was a normal room with a bed, a desk, and an almirah.

"Go sit on the bed, I'll bring you something to eat."

Emi obediently nodded her head and Akito left.

The possibility of other people finding refugees in Saeko's house crossed his mind so he had hidden the food they had bought. It would be miserable if the food they had saved for themselves had been cleaned out by others.

What worried him now was if the food had been found by this trash earlier. Though he hadn't seen evidence of such it was still a possibility.

Probably not though.
