tachinowarui saga book 5: akame ga kill

part 9: new base & new allies

As the manta ray flew across the sky. I held on to the little girl that bastard stylish used as a lab rat. If i could. i would kill him a hundred more times...but i'm not willing to waste my blood on garbage like him. I'll get my aggression out on the next group of scumbags.

"Are you alright falix?" sheele asked me.

"Yeah...now i'm more motivated...to use a kid as a lab rat. Just when you think you've seen the bottom of the barrel. The empire finds a way to go even lower...eventually we're going to reach that fat pig honest...and i'm going to enjoy every second butchering him. And sending him to hell." i said. I heard a cute yawn. The girl opened her eyes. They were green but instead of the sinister dead eyes that mimi had. They were bright and full of life. She got up from my arms. I was ready to stop her if she got close to the edge. She turned around to me and sheele and smiled. And before i knew it. She ran up and hugged us both.

"Mama! Papa!" the girl yelled. I felt something in my heart explode when she did that. Me and sheele hugged her back.

"Did anyone else hear a gun shot?" tatsumi asked.

"No. that was just a bang of cuteness coming from falix's heart." auron said with a grin. Though it is weird that she called me and sheele her mom and dad. Guess she doesn't have any memories of before or during her time as mimi. Her real parents were probably butchered by the empire. I'm looking forward to evening the score..but for right now...this kid probably forgot her name too. So i'll have to come up with one.

"Hey there...lily." i said. Confusing everyone.

"Lily?" mine asked.

"That's her name...right lily?" i asked. She nodded cutely. I smiled. Soon the manta ray landed in the middle of the forest. Guess were hoofing from here.

"Before i forget...auron. Here." tatsumi said. As he handed auron a katana.

"What's this?" i asked.

"It's the teigu that the village saw as a holy relic..." tatsumi said. Looking at the ground.

"It was once wielded by our village's hero. During the first imperial war centuries ago...according to the stories. He was kind to everyone. And fought for what was right...you are just like him." giselle said with a smile. Auron took the sword. And unsheathed it. It gave off electricity.

"What teigu is that?" mine asked.

"Heaven's judgement: raijin. A katana teigu that electrifies anyone it cuts with lightning levels of electricity. It's trump card calls down a massive lightning bolt from the sky." najenda said. Heaven's judgement huh? How fitting. That it ends up in the hands of someone like auron. He was looking at it with sadness.

"The people of waldorf...i'm sorry i couldn't save you..." auron said. He closed his eyes. And a look of anger came to his face. "But i can at the least avenge you...i'll use your holy treasure to put the down the vile creature who killed you all...i'm going to shove this sword through esdeaths wicked skull!" auron yelled. Luckily lilly was too busy talking to everyone to notice this. But it was off putting to me...auron was always the calm one...so to see him so angry...seeing him act like me...was shocking...esdeath really is the bottom of the barrel of this corrupt empire. Anyone who can make auron snap like this is gotta be the biggest piece of shit in a slurry pit of scumbags. I decided it was probably better to change the subject.

"So...who's the fresh meat?" i asked.

"I already knew you were cute but your adorable from up close akame!" the orange haired girl said. As she petted and played with akame's hair. Only to get pushed back by auron.
