Billy reached the mansion where the lady lives, who was called Aria. Probably-expensive decorations were everywhere, like the head of a reindeer or a precious jade vase.
Billy: *Whistle* Nice place…
Aria: Hehe, thank you! Follow me so I can introduce you to my parents!
Billy nodded and followed Aria towards the kitchen, where two people sat and looked at Aria with a smile. The father was wearing a brown pricey suit, while the mother was wearing a silk dress.
Father: Ahh, Aria brought someone in again.
Mother: What a habit. I wonder how many it's been now.
SUSPICIOUS!!
Billy, being the God of Gambling, was able to recognize lies from the facial expressions, and even if he isn't gambling anymore like before, that capability of reading people increased even more instead of rusting.
Billy: Thank you very much for bringing me in.
But he decided to stay silent and inspect the place when no one was looking.
Aria: It's okay, it's okay. Make yourself at home.
Billy: Please excuse me then.
Mother: If we help people out, the happiness will eventually come back to us, right?
Aria: Mom! That's not the reason I'm doing it for!!
The mother laughed when Aria yelled a bit, but Billy just remained silent and analyzed them, and spoke.
Billy: In that case, is there anything I can help with while I'm here? I'm pretty strong and I know how to use the sword well.
Aria: Oh! Then be my bodyguard, with the others too!
Father: That's good. Gaurry, I'll let you handle it!
Gaurry, the bodyguard, hesitated a bit before he spoke.
Gaurry: Understood.
After Billy and everyone else ate, Billy got to the bathroom to do his "things"...
Billy: Gah…
He was facing the toilet while he put his fingers deep in his mouth to puke… He ate drugged food.
After he finished, he looked at the toilet before he flushed down, these people are 100% confirmed to be evil, so he should kill them… But before that, he wants to look on things deeper.
Tomorrow, Billy woke up, after dressing up and taking his sword, he left the mansion and walked around with Aria and her bodyguards, who were carrying many packed things.
Aria: We're going to that shop next!!
Bodyguards: My lady, please wait!!
Meanwhile, Billy was watching out for her with Gaurry, who started to speak.
Gaurry: It seems we're staying home this time…
Billy: ...This is getting ridiculous, I saw girl buying many things, but this? Never.
Gaurry: Hmm… Anyway, look up. That's the center of the capital…
Billy looked up and saw the palace standing over a giant wall, and on the top of the palace, there was a giant statue that should be of the first emperor.
Billy: The palace…
Gaurry: Be careful, even though the emperor lives there, he's still too young, the minister is controlling him, and he is the ringleader that's rotting this country.
Billy: Yeah, I know…
Gaurry: So you came here anyways? You have balls.
Billy: Heh, I'm just as much as a coward as anyone else…
Gaurry: Anyway, there are guys like that as well.
Then he pointed behind, and Billy looked over 4 posters, each one had a face and a name, with some descriptions under the name, but there was something that every 4 the posters had in common.
Billy: ...Night Raid…? 'The assassination team concentrated on the Capital… I almost forgot about them. Well, let's just hope that if we met, they don't misunderstand my identity, or maybe Najenda can confirm my identity…'
The posters that were there asked about:
Akame of the Demon Sword Muramase.
General Najenda.
100 Man-Slayer Bulat.
And Sheele.
Billy knew only about Najenda since they met on the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, but nothing about the rest, except that everyone wields a Teigu.
Gaurry: It's the group of assassins that's rattling the whole capital. Just as their name implies, they conduct nocturnal attacks on their targets. They mainly target high-ranking or wealthy individuals in the capital. Prepare yourself, just in case.
Billy: Nn… I guess for now I'll help the others…
Gaurry turned around and saw two bodyguards lifting a human-sized box, Billy reached them and lifted it with a single hand, carrying it for Aria.
Soon, at evening, they turned back to the mansion and Billy used this opportunity to look around, he checked the kitchen, bathrooms, guest rooms, basement, roof, but he could find nothing that could suggest their intentions, so there is one thing to do… Just kill them and ignore everything else.
He put an hand on his hilt, and noticed just now how this mansion was charged with bloodlust. Billy walked towards a window, and saw 5 people standing over some wires, under the full moon.
There was a woman with blonde long hair, lion tail, claws and ears, she has lion-like feet and many areas of her body are covered with fur, but she looked familiar…
Billy: Leone…?
Then he looked at the others, the second person was enveloped in a full-body white and metal gray armor holding a red spear.
The third person was a young man with shoulder-length green hair that covers his left eye, green eyes and red goggles on top of his head. He wore a long green jacket with a fur-trimmed hood over a white and red ringer shirt and blue jeans with brown shoes.
The fourth person was a young girl with long black hair that reaches down to her knees and red eyes. She wore a dark sleeveless mini dress with a white collar and a red tie; she wore a red belt that has a red side skirt cover. She also had black shoes and socks, and red gauntlets. She was recognized as Akame of the Demon Sword Murasame.
And finally, the last one was a young girl of below average height. She has very long pink hair tied in twin-tails on the right and left sides of her head. She has big pink eyes. She wears a pink outfit, consisting of a tied shawl with a high collar, a pink long sleeve shirt, a gown and black stockings with pink shoes.
Billy smelled blood nearby, meaning that someone was already inside, so he ignored them and followed the smell of blood. Soon, he reached the source and found Aria's mother dead, her arms and chest were cut in half, probably in a single slash.
And then, out of the window, he saw Aria going towards the forest, in an area he didn't checked yet, followed from another soldier. So Billy jumped out from the window and followed them.
Aria and the bodyguard reached a warehouse, which made Billy raise an eyebrow, maybe he would find his answers here?
He saw Akame reaching the place, and observing Aria while she held her Teigu with her right hand, meanwhile, Billy ignored her and reached for the warehouse, Aria noticed him and had a joyous face, before she noticed what Billy wanted to do.
Aria: No wai-!
He grabbed the lock and ripped it off barehanded before he slammed down the doors… This made everyone stop what they were doing and look at Billy.
Billy: So this is what you were hiding… Disgusting.
In front of him there were corpses hanging from the ceiling, missing limbs, organs, and other things, down, the room was full of torture devices, like spiky chairs, wheels, prisons, hangers, etc… Oh, was that a blender?
The smell of blood and rotten corpses assaulted his nose, making him cover it
Aria: N-No! Billy, wait! It… It's a lie! I didn't know there was a place like this! Are you going to believe me, the one that saved you, Billy!?
Billy turned around and gazed at Aria, Akame was ready to attack when Billy raised his palm.
Billy: Can you wait a moment?
Akame nodded and stood watching, then Billy spoke to Aria.
Billy: I knew since the beginning that you were lying, first of all, I had money to pay for some nights at the inn, second, I knew a good source of money, third, you can kill her now.
Aria: W-Wha-?!
Akame nodded and beheaded Aria before she could mutter another word, in the next moment, the animal girl he saw before came out from the forest.
Billy: Oh, are you Leone?
Leone: Huh? Ah! It's Billy! Haha, I didn't knew I would find you here! I thought you had money for an inn, how did you get here?
Billy: I got suspicious of these guys and here the proof I needed to confirm they were 100% evil. Now, if you excuse me, I will be sure that the Black Plague doesn't come out from this warehouse…
Billy entered in the warehouse and closed the doors…
…
*BOOOOOM*
The warehouse exploded in a storm of fire and smoke, and some seconds later, Billy came out without a single burn.
Billy: Alright… So I guess we say goodbye?
Leone: Hahahahaha! Hell no! I'm not letting someone like you go away after seeing that explosion!
Leone reached Billy and grabbed his shoulder, before she asked.
Leone: Hey Akame, what do you think about him?
Akame: …
She just shrugged with an apathetic face. God… He already met Sally 2 and Genderbent Kazu…
Soon, they reached the rendezvous point with the rest of the group, soon it would be morning so it was better going away.
Armored guy So they're finally back.
Green: It'd be bad if we don't retreat soon.
Pinkie: You're late! What were you doing!? ...Wait. What is that?
Leone: One of us!
Billy: Wait what?
Billy was surprised when she said those words.
Leone: Huh? I didn't tell you? Starting from today, you're one of us!! Congratulations on your inauguration to Night Raid!!
Billy: ...Huh?!
Akame: Give it up. Leone won't listen once she gets started.
Leone grinned and patted Akame.
Leone: As expected of my friend, you know me well! Hey Bulat! I'll leave this guy to you.
The armored man turned around, making Billy raise an eyebrow.
Billy: 'So he is the 100 Man-Slayer Bulat…'
Bulat, still wearing the armor, picked Billy up, Billy didn't even resisted since he knew it was useless, they were allies too, he couldn't just kill them.
Akame: Mission complete. Let's return!
Then everyone jumped over the buildings and soon they reached a new place.
