"Woaaaah! Cooooool!" Tatsumi shouted out happily, ecstatic at the great feeling of the wind atop the Air Manta, no longer in his Incursio. "This feels great!"

"Ahaha. For an assassin, you're unbelievably innocent, Tatsumi." Chelsea commented, smiling over at him. "You're funny."

"Still, this is more fun than I thought!" Leone added, also enjoying the ride.

"Yeah!" Akame agreed.

Lubbock and Mine were both pale as they sat further to the centre of the Air Mantis. "No! It is not!" They both shouted in denial.

"Stop screaming, I'm trying to sleep." Shobu grumbled.

...

800km Southeast of the capital, dotted with dozens of sheer plateaus, it has an ecosystem all of its own. The danger beasts that reside there are at a much higher level, and it's not fit for habitation. It is an unexplored territory, the original author of Akame Ga Kill narrated, before being locked back in his cage until further notice by Robertwoth.

"This place is unexplored territory, meaning it's the perfect place to hide out." Najenda informed the group. "A fitting place for our new hideout is currently being scouted out by the revolutionary army's reconnaissance team somewhere closer to the Capital. Until then, we'll train here." She explained.

The Air Manta suddenly took up off the ground, flying away.

"What the? Is it okay that he left?" Mine asked. "He took the Teigu we recovered with him."

"He's too precious a transport vehicle for us to hog all to ourselves." Najenda informed.

"He probably went back to HQ, where his nest is, it's an automatic way to get things delivered there." Chelsea explained.

She suddenly smirked, turning towards Mine. "I can't believe you didn't know that Mine. Hahaha!"

The girl pisses me off. Mine thought, already not liking her.

"Ah. Couldn't we ride on him to break into the palace?" Tatsumi asked.

"No can do, there are Danger Beasts who have been tamed with Teigu flying over the palace." Akame responded first.

"They really have strict security there." Tatsumi mumbled weakly.

"Well, we should get a ride home once things in the Capital have died down a bit." Najenda stated. "Don't worry."

"Now now, let me introduce the new members to our team once again, this is, huh?" Najenda turned to where Chelsea was, only to see she was not here anymore.

Chelsea was sidled up behind Akame, playing with her hair. "Akame, you really are cute up close." She complicated.

Akame blushed. "That, came out of nowhere."

"My name is Chelsea, I hope we can get along as assassin teammates." Chelsea said, before holding out a lollipop. "Here, this is for you."

Akame's eyes sparkled as she took the lollipop, bowing her head slightly. "Welcome." She greeted.

"Ah! Akame's being fed!" Tatsumi shouted.

"She must've been hungry after the long trip!" Lubbock added.

"But, Chelsea doesn't look like a better assassin than Mine and the others." Tatsumi mumbled.

Najenda picked up on this. "Don't judge a book by its cover, she has just as many successful assassinations as Akame." She said.

Tatsumi turned to her, shocked, words unable to form.

"And this here is the new Teigu I was given by the revolutionary army. Flash of lightning, Susanoo." Najenda started, gesturing to the humanoid. "He's a biological Teigu that can move on his own, so he's not a heavy burden, even for me." She stated, subtly glancing at her metal arm.
