Another Route ( Akame Ga Kill Fanfic )

Volume 2 Chapter 2: Hunter or Hunted II

I'm still learning how to draw. Man, it's so hard. Wish I had talent for arts, but unfortunately, I don't. Still tryna draw some fanart that I can use as a cover for this story. I have been trying my best, so don't worry. I am still drawing how Tatsumi would look like in his Imperial Arm. Maybe I'll also draw some scenes that I have written in the earlier chapters, if I have the time to do so.

If you guys wanna have the right feels when reading this chapter, simply listen to the opening and ending soundtrack of Bungou Stray Dogs. Also search up the meaning in the lyrics. You will find it to be pretty relevant in this story, sooner or later.

I have labelled the perspectives upon the request of some. Hope this would help in easier reading.

Now, let me inform you that Tatsumi's past isn't as normal as what I have let on so far. There are plenty of details in his dark past, which I have decided to paint it even darker. I may put some hints of what actually happens. This arc is one of the long one, which may span from 5 chapters to 10+.

As for pairing, some of you have suggested many different choices. Some suggested Akame, others wanted Esdeath, Chelsea or some other girl. A harem was also recommended. I have little knowledge and experience of romance, so I will try my best to write them when the time comes.

{Tatsumi's Perspective}

"And this is the Red Light District. Basically, if you want live a normal life, this is the place you stay away from. All kinds of dangerous people dwell in this district. Just stay away from here."

I have been showing these three girls all around the Capital, taking them to various places that I think would be popular to them. Other than the Silk District, which was a pretty large area, they have yet to express interests in any other places I have brought them to.

I mentally sighed. I had not come to the Capital for leisure purposes, and thus was unfamiliar with most of what the Capital has to offer for travellers. I tried my best, finding places where I think girls around my age would prefer.

Why did Manic ask me to do this again? Can't she have just brought them around another time if she had some other things to attend to?

I mentally sighed. It was pretty tiring. Half of the time I had thought that I was talking to myself. They didn't talk much during the tour. The only conversation they made were between themselves and was done in whispers. I can sense this awkward atmosphere between me and them.

We arrived at the doors of the shop. At least this was over. We did get some food while touring the Capital and thus it sated my hunger for a while.

"And that concludes the tour. Do you have any other questions?

There was no reply. They simply shook their heads before making their way into the building. I guess trusting me is going to take a while.

I walked into the shop, hoping to make myself some dinner. I made myself some fish and chips. Once I have eaten enough, I proceeded to my room. I have little time to rest before I start my mission.

As usual, I have to kill some corrupted nobles who have overstepped their boundaries. The list of people to kill seems to be constantly piling up. Just how many are there?

I laid down on my bed. The voices in my head kept speaking, telling me all kinds of things. Since most of them are like destroying the world, I generally ignored them. I must have gone crazy. Since when do people have voices in their head? Then again, maybe these voices are my thoughts? It isn't a possible theory when the words of these voices doesn't correspond to my actual thoughts.
