Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 36: What The

The next day, Garou stood at one of the city's gate with Rin and Wave.

"Why don't you stay with us? We can all go back to the capital together" Wave said to Garou.

"No reason for me to stay here, I tagged along in the first place to see the so-called assassins. Now that I saw how pathetic they were, I have no reason to stay" Garou replied.

"What about taking a horse?" Rin offered

"Nah, I prefer using my legs. It's much faster and more reliable. Also it can be a good warmup" Garou said

Wave and Rin looked at each other, they could see the weird look in each other's eyes. Garou probably was the only person to say his legs much faster reliable than a horse and to think the long distance to the capital is a good warmup.

Garou saw their reactions and ignored it, he didn't care what they thought of him. He turned around while saying "See you!"

"Bye, have a safe journey" Rin/Wave said

Garou started running toward the capital, his body became a dot in the distance in mere moments.

"Dammit, he is really too fast. No wonder he caught with us yesterday" Wave said while Rin nodded.

"By the way, did you feel he was less volatile than usual?" Wave asked.

"I think it's because the general is not here. She is the main reason he get pissed off most of the time." Rin replied

Wave nodded and said "Speaking of her, is she still in her room?"

"Yeah, she didn't leave since yesterday" Rin answered.

Wave nodded then stiffened for a moment before speaking "Hey Rin, The commander won't punish us for not telling her about Garou's leaving, right?"

It was Rin turn to stiff, he looked at Wave silently before speaking seriously, "We should start praying. Hopefully, we will go to heaven."

Wave started to panic as tears welling in his eyes, Rin looked at Wave with a sly smile. Their general might get a little angry, but most probably won't punish them. He knew that but still wanted to prank Wave.

Wave started praying, while Rin looked at the sky. He mumbled to himself, "The cloud getting dark, I guess it is going to start raining soon. Maybe we should have let him stay for a little more... Nah, he will be fine."

In the middle of the mountains, Akame was walking alone. She was heading to the revolutionary army headquarter on behave of Najenda. Since Najenda was wounded, she couldn't go there to report the events of the battle and how Garou ruined her plans. Najenda couldn't trust using birds as they are easy to interrupt. Moreover, it would be better to explain such a massive failure in person. Therefore, she sent Akame and ordered her to walk through the mountains. She didn't want to risk Akame getting tracked by the empire spies, or worse, getting attacked by the Jaegers.

Akame left Nighraid temporary base at sunrise. The distance to the headquarter is quite far, and she couldn't use a horse since it couldn't cross the mountain road. However, she didn't mind the long-distance or the hardships, she was more concerned and depressed after yesterday's events. Four of her teammates that she met recently and started to friend them died yesterday, her boss and Lubbock were injured, while Mine was crippled. She felt more depressed as she remembered Mine, her pink-haired friend, who was the loudest among them, was silent, her eyes devoid of any hope, the loss of her arm and weapon broke her. Moreover, Chelsea didn't come back, no one brought this matter up, but deep inside they felt they will never see her again.

Suddenly, she felt a cold sensation on her cheek, she looked up and saw the sky turned dark and about to rain. She was too depressed and thinking about what happened that she didn't realise the incoming storm. Akame sighed in a depressed manner and started looking for a place to rest until the rain stop.
