I'm no trooper

Chapter 5: Another mission

F/N's perspective

After returning to base from Mine's day off, we were given another assignment. Now running through a forest, the sky pitch black save for the distant stars that shine through the break in the clouds. We were sent out to kill Lokal, a direct relative to Minister Onset.

Flashback to the briefing

All of the assembled assassins of Night Raid stood around a table. The boss sat in her chair as she drove a knife into a picture of Lokal.

F/N: "So what's he guilty of?"

Najenda: "He uses the Minister's name to kidnap and beat them to death. His five guards are getting their share of it and share his guilt. This is a high priority mission. That's why I'm sending all of you."

Leone: "You can count on us boss."

Najenda: "Good, now grab your gear, you leave at midnight."

All the assassins nodded and left. I was about to leave the room as Najenda called me.

Najenda: "F/N."

I turned around to look at her.

F/N: "What?"

Najenda: "After this I would like a word."

I looked at her for a moment. A couple thoughts running through my head of what it could be, but I put those aside and nodded.

F/N: "Of course."

Najenda waved me off with her robotic arm as I left the room to dawn my gear. Ready for my second assassin mission.

Flashback ends

After recounting the orders given a couple hours ago. I sat in a tree next to Tatsumi as he looked at the mansion in the distance through a spyglass.

Tatsumi: "So that must be the mansion, it's huge."

F/N: "Ya.... hey Mine?"

I asked as I looked to my right. The aforementioned assassin prepped her weapon.

Mine: "What?"

F/N: "That's an Imperial arm right?"

Mine: "Yeah, Imperial arm Pumpkin. The more of a pinch the user is in, the more destructive the power becomes."

Tatsumi: "Oh..."

Mine: "Though I'm never in a pinch."

F/N: "Little cocky, but now that I think about it. Bulat's is a spear, yours is a gun. Seems like way two different types of weapons to be made by a smith?"

Mine: "Imperial arm's are ancient super weapons."

F/N: "Let me guess, one a moon sized battle station."

I said this in a half hearted manner before both of the others with me gave me confused looks.

Tatsumi: "What?"

F/N: "Ah...... nothing, I said nothing."

Mine: "Idiot, and no I have no idea what that is, but Imperial arms to this day, we have no idea how they were made. You know you're really nosy."

She looked back at me with a half annoyed look.

Mine: "Them again you are a pervert just like Lubbock."

I just facepalm the front of my helmet and sigh.

F/N: "I told you a thousand times I knocked."

Tatsumi: "Whatever you say man."
