The Assassin Huntsman

Chapter 21: Kill the Emperor

~Night Raid Base~
*(Y/N) (L/N) POV*

Currently, right now, it was the night after Akame had dealt with Kurome and we were all, the ones that remain, were sitting within the dining room. Akame, now a part of my harem, was eating some meat. I, however, was sitting while tinkering with Ferrous Malice, though Gravities' Predator was leaning against the wall nearby in minigun mode. Sheele and Chelsea were sitting across from me as they did their own thing. Chelsea was working on Zhan and Zheng, since she's been with me and Sheele in my workshop and began to learn more about weaponry, maintenance, and upgrading, if necessary. Sheele, she was reading Man with Two Souls, since I had finished reading it like four times, and she's enjoyed reading the book so far. Leone, on the other hand, she was behind me and was pressing herself against my back and occasionally licking my ear or kissing my cheek. Tatsumi was also present, at the head of the table, while Najenda was elsewhere, probably getting ready for the final siege. Though the atmosphere of the room was silent, since most of the chatter would've come from Mine and Lubbock as Su would've brought in some food of us which reminded me of the gift Su left for me. Several cookbooks that he had made that were part of his "Imperial Arms" side, thousands of recipes he could make, and it was now in our possession, mainly Akame and I since we both can cook better than anyone else, with Su being the exception. Bulat, well, he was random some days, but still.

"Looks like it's down to the seven of us." Leone said, which was true, but we still had the number regarding Night Raid.

"This place feels slightly bigger now." Akame agreed after eating some of her meat.

"Yeah, it does." Tatsumi said as he looked around probably remembering those who have fallen being in the chairs with us.

"So, what're we doing after this?" Leone asked while glomping onto me more almost messing up Ferrous Malice. "After the revolution's over, there won't be much work for guys like us, y'know."

"Hey, hey, easy Leone!" I said getting her attention. "I'm working on Ferrous Malice here! Trying to regulate the mechanism that activates HEAT Mode with some Ice Dust, so the weapon won't overheat so much."

"If I recall correctly, when I got here you practically forced me to join the team. Remember that?" Tatsumi replied to Leone. "And when I did, before I knew it, everything had gotten all crazy."

"Aw, I'm sorry, sweetie," Leone teased Tatsumi before leaning more into my ear. "Oh well, then I guess Hot Stud here'll just have to punish my ass with his Danger Beast AND with a spanking!"

I let out an "urk" sound and almost dropped some of my tools and I noticed Sheele, Chelsea, and Akame slightly glaring at Leone as she tensed a bit and laughed nervously. After getting my bearings together, I continued working on Ferrous Malice while a small jar of Ice Dust was sent my way.

"Thanks, Chels." I thanked her while adding the Ice Dust.

"Anytime, (Y/N)," Chelsea replied and went back to wiping her weapons. "Say, do you have any more Water and Wind Rounds?"

"In the workshop, shelf 3-A, second shelf from the top, should be at least 18 rounds of each," I replied, and Chelsea gets up and leaves to the workshop, but not after pecking my lips then leaves... with a hip sway. "Oum damn, that girl and her hips. Doesn't help that her skirt makes it hotter."

"Besides, assassins being out of work means that the world is a better place!" Tatsumi called out making us look at him.

"Hm... I guess he's right," Sheele agreed with what Tatsumi said. "But we did promise to help (Y/N) return to Remnant."

"Oh, yeah, Hot Stud does want to go back, but..." Leone says before pressing her assets onto my back, but she snaked her arms around my neck. "If he's leaving back home, then I'm going with him."
