Akame ga Kill:Capital Punishment

Chapter 7:Temperature

Rip was enjoying his whisky in "The Razor' Edge". He had just given Kerber new assignment. He sent him to destroy couple of thugs who use women for prostitution or selling them as sex slaves. Now he was just enjoying by himself and his bottle of whisky. Other people were playing cards or chatting with eachother, it was lively bar. But soon it would be interupted.

The door burst open, everyone present at the bar looked towards the entrance and saw couple of Emperial guards entering the bar with swords and guns. But everyone was surprised by this person who came in. Standing at the entrance was Ambassador Mr.X in his full white and yellow military uniform.

Bartender:Holy shit. It's Mr.X.

Murmurings were heard from people at the bar like, what is Ambassador doing here? Or, is he looking for someone? Mr.X then started looking around, scanning the bar. He was impressed how it looked. It reminded him how the bars look at home.

Mr X:Is there any man here named Rip?

Silence enveloped the bar, nobody dared to speak. They were scared by his mere presence. Mr.X seeing he isn't gonna get answers, he pulled a revolver from his coat pocket and aimed towards the ceiling and fired one shot. Everyone fliched by the shot becouse it was loud, and it was also a warning. If they don't answer him the second time, third one wont happen.

Mr.X:I said "is there any man here named Rip?"

Silence again, nobody dared to speak. Mr.X was getting impatient by this. Rip seeing nobody is gonna talk he raised his hand. Everyone looked at him, locals at the bar were thinking he was crazy for revealing himself, but he had no choice. It was either this or this bar would turn in to a bloody mess. Mr.X approached Rip near the table.

Mr.X:You Rip?

Rip:Depends on who's asking?

Mr.X:You know who i am?

Rip:Yes. Mr.X the Ambassador.

Mr.X:May i sit with you?

Rip:Please, make yourself comfortable.

Rip the turned towards the bartender nodding at him. He understood the signal.

Bartender:Alright everyone! The bar is closed for today, go home!

Everyone quickly sprinted towards the exit, leaving Rip alone with Ambassador and Emperial guards. Bartender stayed behinde to serve the drink.

Rip:You want a dring Ambassador, they have great Kelpies whisky.

Mr.X:Yes please.

Rip:Phill! Give us a Kelpies whisky.

Phill:Right away Rip!

Bartender named Phill grabbed the bottle of Kelpies whisky and two glasses, he put the glasses down for both man and poured them the drink.

Rip:Leave the bottle would you?

Phill left the bottle at the table and started walking back at the bar, but Rip stopped him.

Rip:Hey phill!

Phill:Yes?

Rip:Here is some money. Go home now.

Phill hesitated, he didn't like leaving his friend alone with Ambassador. Rip saw his hesitation and nodded his head, indicating that everything is gonna be alright. Phill the with shaking hand took the money.

Rip:Oh! And leave me the key of the bar. I'll lock it and bring it to your house.

Phill:R-right...

Phill then took the key from his pocket and left it on the table. He then waved his hand and left, leaving Rip completely alone with guards and Mr.X.
