tachinowarui saga book 5: akame ga kill

part 4: a fallen angel's light

Falix pov.

I raised my head from the water. Wearing a suit of armor alongside tatsumi. Swimming while wearing heavy armor is pretty brutal training. But it's effective. I especially wanted to try my best considering sheele was our trainer today. Despite being a deadly assassin, slicing people in half with a sword sized pair of scissors. She's the sweetest girl I've ever met. Even to a bitter son of a bitch like me. She's still nice to me. Her radiant smile melts the ice around my heart.

"Good work both of you. Wearing that armor while swimming will improve your strength and movement during operations." sheele said with a smile.

"This is nothing." i said with a grin. "By the way. Are we doing this all day? Don't you have any other jobs today?" i asked. Her expression darkend.

"In the kitchen, I burned the meat, and Akame lost it. While I was cleaning, I finished making more mess making Bulat's work more difficult. When I was assigned to do the shopping, I mistook salt for sugar, and Leone started laughing. Finally, when I tried laundry, I accidentally washed Mine along with the clothes" sheele explained. I couldn't help laughing about that last one.

"Looks like you didn't need a shower that day you little shit!" i said laughing. Tatsumi and sheele sighed. "I-i'm sorry. Me and Pinky don't get along. I really don't get what you see in her sheele." i said as the laughing finally died down.

"Well we have a history together. She was there when i lost my first best friend..." sheele said sadly. I raised an eyebrow. "I've always had a screw loose. I'm sorry for tha-" she said as she bowed only for her to lose her glasses. She looked up and I saw her beautiful purple eyes. I quickly picked up her glasses and put it back on. "Thank you falix. I lived in the capital's industrial district. Ever since i was a child. I caused messes and disasters. I never took pride in anything i did. People called me names and made fun of me for it." sheele said. After hearing that I wanted to find those people and butcher them.

"But There was a girl named spear. She was always nice to me. She never made fun of me. She was the only person i could feel happy with. Until that day. Her former boyfriend. Angry and on drugs. He began choking her. I did the only thing i could. I grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the neck. I was calm when I did it. Spear was trembling. I haven't heard from her after that. I went to her house. But she didn't answer. Her boyfriends came to avenge him. But i killed them all with that very same knife...that was when i realized. I could help by cleaning up the trash...killing was the one thing I was good at..." sheele said. Tears starting coming out of her eyes. If there was one thing i hated more than the crooked scumbags of this shitty empire...it was seeing sheele cry. I wiped her tears.

"You'll only screw up if you think you will. Have more confidence in yourself. If you can't. I'll give you mine. I believe in you sheele. So stop thinking so down on yourself. Because I sure as hell don't. I think you're wonderful." i said with a smile.

"Falix..." sheele said with a blush. "Thank you." she said with that all too radiant smile. I can't help but blush...I swear I'll be who you choose.

After more heavy armor swimming. I headed to the main room. We got another mission. But i couldn't help but notice that akame and leone had a few changes...both their hairs have gotten smoother and shiner. And akame boob's have grown a bit bigger. I can also sense a bit of auron's magic in them. What the hell did they do last night? Worry about that later. Our target this night is a fucker named lokal. He's a cousin of that pig. Honest. And he's been abusing that. To kidnap rape and whip young women to death. He'll be leaving his pleasure palace in a body bag tonight.

We all got into positions. As soon as that pig came out of the palace to see his new toys. Mine fired pumpkin. She got a headshot. despite pumpkin not having a scope. God damn. I'll admit she definitely has the skills to justify her arrogance and ego. Doesn't make her any less annoying. After lokal hits the ground. Me and auron jumped into action. Slaughtering the guards. We lead the scared woman to a nearby revolutionary army camp. We both got a few kisses on the cheeks from a few of them. Akame and leone would have killed auron if they saw that.
