"Night Raid! It's Night Raid!"

Frantic shouts echoed through the darkened streets of the Imperial Capital. The voices belonged to members of the Imperial Guard.

Under Prime Minister Mellie's orders, the Imperial Guard had been tasked with apprehending Night Raid. To assist Tatsumi, Mellie had dispatched Wave and Run from the military.

Run, a Teigu user transferred from the provinces, had served as a secretary in the Night Crow unit upon arriving in the capital. he was one of the few individuals recruited by Airmid with administrative skills.

However, for this mission, he had been reassigned to the Imperial Guards, demonstrating Mellie's commitment to addressing the Night Raid threat.

Of course, this was merely for show.

Tatsumi's true objective was different.

"You won't escape!"

Facing Bulat and Leone as they fled through the streets, Tatsumi raised his hand, summoning a bolt of lightning that hurtled towards them.

"What?!" Bulat's eyes widened as he saw the descending lightning.

"Incursio!" he shouted, activating his Teigu.

The sword-shaped Teigu transformed into a suit of armor, and simultaneously, the spear Neuntote materialized in his hand.

"Haaah!"

Bulat spun his spear, deflecting the lightning strike.

But in that instant, Tatsumi closed the distance, appearing before them.

"Don't even think about getting close!" Leone intercepted Tatsumi, shielding Bulat as he defended against the lightning.

Tatsumi responded with a swift punch.

"Stay down, you swindler!"

He had recognized Leone as the woman who had tricked him out of all his money upon his arrival in the capital. This memory fueled his rage.

In fact, he had identified her after their previous encounter with Night Raid, when Leone's wanted poster was displayed throughout the city.

Now, facing Night Raid once more, Tatsumi ignored Akame, whom he had fought before, and focused solely on Leone. She had stolen a significant sum of money from him. While he might forgive other transgressions, stealing his money was unforgivable.

After all, he, Sayo, and Ieyasu had come to the capital to earn money and save their village.

Though Mika's ascension to Emperor had already secured his village's future, the memory of his humiliation fueled his anger.

Clenching his fist, he struck Leone's arm. A surge of electricity coursed through his armor and into her.

"What?!" Leone's eyes widened in shock.

The powerful current surged through her body, paralyzing her. She collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Seeing her fall, a smirk touched Tatsumi's lips.

He was no longer a pseudo-Teigu user.

He was a true wielder of a Teigu.

And that Teigu was once General Budo's—Adramelech. After Budo's death, it had naturally fallen into Mika's possession. Finding it rather underwhelming, Mika had decided to enhance it.
