I'm basing these chapters on the individual chapters of the manga, so the word count for each chapter will be different. Some will be longer, and some will be shorter.
Adieu.

Rousei Village
The training for Akame and the others had continued. Currently, Akira and Akame were taking their haul of fish to the village in order to complete their quotas. The two set down their baskets in front of a woman named Martha, the older woman smiling at the two.
Martha: "Thanks for getting the fish I asked for, Akame, Akira!"
Akira: "No problem."
Akame: "It was nothing."
Martha: "Thanks! Here, I even put in an extra coin for you."
Akira: "Oh, it wasn't needed, but thanks."
Akame: "Thank you..." (shining eyes) "With this, I can get the grilled meat dinner set..."
Akira: "We have that stuff at home? Why don't you just cook it?"
Martha: (giggle) "Akame, since you're a girl, why don't you buy a hairpin or something?"
Akame: "But a hairpin isn't juicy like meat!"
Akira: (sweat drops) "That's what you're concerned about?"
Martha: "Come here for a second! Akira-kun, do you mind if you wait outside?"
Akira: "Uh, not at all."
Akame: "Martha?"
Before Akame could even latch her hand onto her partner's arm for him to take her with him, Martha pulls the girl upstairs. It was at this moment, Akira realizes how scary women are when they're serious about something.
Despite his hands giving off a chill feeling constantly, the determined face on Martha's had sent a shiver down his spine. He then heard a ruckus upstairs in Martha's home, causing him to have a confused look. With the two girls...
Martha: "Yeah! It looks perfect on you!"
Akame, however, was unsure. She had glanced down, she was wearing a pretty frilly dress. Akame twirls slightly, still unsure if she was actually perfect in the attire.
Martha: "Sorry, it's my old dress and it's not much, but you can have it, Akame! But in return, bring me more fish, okay?"
With a shy nod, Akame heads down the stairs and exits Martha's house. As Akira turned around, a small blush made it to his face when he saw the red-eyed girl. Akame tilts her head in confusion.
Akame: "What?"
Akira: "N-Nothing. It's just...it looks good on you. But...with what's happening now, I don't think we'll have time for things like that."
Akame: "...Yes...of course."
Akira: "Maybe when all this is over, we'll head back to Martha to check out some more, yeah?"
Akame: "Perhaps."
The two begin to make their way back home, exiting Rousei Village. Along the way, they encounter Guy hanging upside down from a tree, tied up.
Akira: "Guy? The hell you get up there for?"
Guy: "Ooh, Akame, Akira! I got too carried away gambling and didn't have the money to pay, so this is what they did to me. Sorry, but could you guys lend me some money? I want to be freed."
Akira: "...Something tells me it wasn't about gambling.
Akame: "You're always getting into stuff like this..."
