11 Madness: UNCONCEALING
Later, the two males and Leone reached a bridge that passed a lake and took people to a city, Leone told Billy and Tatsumi.
Leone: Billy, you help him since your casino was nearby.
Billy: Got it.
Tatsumi: Eh? You have a casino?
Billy: Yup. Now let's go.
Leone looked at the two and said.
Leone: ...You wanna hear a story about Akame?
Billy: Hmm?
Leone: When Akame was young, her and her sister were both bought somewhere in the empire. Well, you know… Poor parents selling their kids is a pretty common story.
Tatsumi: Eh?! Really!?
Billy: Retard, there are many things you don't know.
Leone: Anyways, her and another girl in the same situation entered assassination training together. There she learned how to kill people… She survived, in that hellish situation.
Billy: Wait, wasn't her sister the second girl?
Leone: No, they got separated before the training began.
Billy: 'Huh, the more you know…'
Leone: Then, she worked under the orders of the empire. She was the perfect assassin… But, each time she carried out her duty, she could feel more of the darkness within the empire.
The boss, who was her target at the time, succeeded in persuading her… To defect from the empire, and join the revolutionary army that cared only about the people. By that time, it seems most of the comrades she had grown up and trained with were all dead…
Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
Billy: ...No?
Leone: Heh, you'll understand if you two come out alive today.
Tatsumi: We'll definitely gonna do this!
Leone: Good hunting!
Then Billy and Tatsumi headed to the city where Ogre should be. Soon, they reached the main road, and they talked about a plan to beat him fast.
Billy walked alone, and found Ogre, he smiled and called him out.
Billy: Hey, Ogre!
The large muscular man with black hair turned around, and grinned.
Ogre: Hahaha, if it isn't Billy! So, you want to talk about something?
Billy: Can't I just visit a friend? We always talked about weird things, let's talk about how we passed these days at my place.
Ogre: Alright brat! I'll humor you for the moment, but I am a bit busy so we can't stay too much time there.
Billy: Hm, let's go, I recently got some really good wine and I wanted to try it with you, how's the arm?
Ogre: It's fine, but I can't force myself too much. God, your Big G really packs a punch, if he didn't held back, then I would have some broken ribs too.
Billy: What did you expect from a man 5 meters tall? Besides, he is one of the strongest I have, if I didn't have him then I would have closed the casino long time ago.
Ogre: True, true. I can't wait to taste your wine, seriously, where do you find those jewels? That thing would attract even the Prime Minister.
They were passing a dark alley to reach the casino faster.
Ogre: How is going the casino thing?
Billy: Oh, pretty good, but it is a bit boring if you know you can win every game.
Ogre: Hehe, that is really rich coming from the God of Gambling.
Billy: Ye-
Ogre: Ugh!
Before Billy could say "Yeah", Tatsumi came down from a roof and slashed at Ogre's back, leaving a big and deep gash in his back.
Ogre: Wha…
Ogre fell down in the ground, unable to move.
Billy turned around and created a small fissure in a nearby wall, taking out a gun and a silencer.
Billy: Oh, I forgot to tell you, this was a trap, you will die now.
Ogre: ...Y-You b-b-bastard…. I tru… sted you…
Billy: And this made things easier.
*Click*
He put the silencer on the Walther PPK, a german pocket pistol, and pointed it at Ogre's face, who looked at him in the eyes covered with the sunglasses.
Ogre: C-Curse you… Billy…
Then a small sound that looked like the one coming from an airsoft gun came out, and the bullet pierced Ogre's head, killing him.
Billy: Alright, Tatsumi, let's go.
Tatsumi: Yes! We did our first mission!
The fissure in the wall widened and Billy gestured Tatsumi to follow him inside, Tatsumi curiously entered in the fissure, following Billy, and in a blink, they were back at the meeting room of the Night Raid's hideout.
Tatsumi: Woah… That's cool!
When they came out, they found Leone, Akame and Najenda already waiting for them.
Billy: Yo, everything is done. Killed with a bullet in the head and a large cut in the back.
Najenda: Nice job on dealing with the target, you two.
Tatsumi: Hehe, thanks!
Billy: It was eas-What the fuck?!
Before he could finish, Akame was behind the two of them and took off their shirts.
Tatsumi: What the hell are you doing!?
Akame: Leone, Boss, hold them.
Najenda: Understood.
Leone: Oh! This seems like fun!
Billy: Hey! That's rap-Oof…
He and Tatsumi were tackled down from the other two, and in an instant, they stood in their feet with only underwears.
Billy: Bloody hell! What the hell is wrong with you girls?!
Akame looked at their bodied before she nodded and slightly smiled.
Akame: Thank goodness…
The two of them turned around and saw Akame smiling, yet… She wasn't making eye contact with Billy… No, she was avoiding eye contact, but why? Seriously, she can't be this nervous because she fell in love, they literally met around 1 week ago.
Akame: I've seen friends die from poison because they wanted to be tough and not report the wound. But you two seem to be undamaged. The mortality rate for those on their first mission is high… You did very well!
Billy: Still, why aren't you making eye contact with me?
Leone/Najenda: Huh?
Akame's smile left, replaced from her apathetic face, yet, she didn't looked at his eyes…
Billy: It's not like I ask for attention, but I know that you are pretty nervous when I am nearby, I would like to know why.
Leone: Hahahaha! Don't tell me… Hey Akame, did you fell in love with him?
Akame: ...No…
Leone: Girlie, you aren't really convincing if you use that tone.
Akame: ...Leone, Boss, I would like for you two to come with me and speak in private.
Leone: Hohoho, you want some tips?
Akame: No!
The entire time that they were talking and leaving from the room, Billy was completely red in his face. Tatsumi elbowed him and said.
Tatsumi: Hey, early congratulations for being a couple, you two.
Billy: Fuck off, retard!
Billy pushed him away and took back his clothes that were in the ground.
Meanwhile, outside, Akame, Leone, and Najenda were talking to each other.
Najenda: So, why did you call us? If you wanted to know how to behave with guys, you could ask only Leone.
Akame: No… It is not for that, I know the person that Billy is searching…
Those words immediately turned Najenda and Leone silent, and looked at her.
Najenda: Akame, you know what this means, I hope that you have a good reason for hiding it.
Leona: Tch… I thought I had a new subject for teasing you… So, who is it? Is it perhaps your sister?
Akame: ...No, it's me.
