A Lion's Burning Passion! Leone X Male Reader

Ch.5

(Y/n)

I walked with the assassins of Night Raid to the destination of my first mission as their newest member. We hid among the shadows of the trees around a large mansion in the capital. It didn't look any different than the other houses around it, but Leone had researched this house and discovered the true horrors hidden within.

A wealthy landowner, Piotr, was raising the prices of his fields and paying his workers less, forcing many of them into debt. He would then promise to clear away that debt if they helped around his mansion. But none of the ones who agreed to this offer were ever seen again. Piotr simply dismissed any accusations by saying the workers left their families after he had paid them.

However, a few days ago, a little boy, who's dad supposedly ran off with his payment, found Leone and hired her to kill Piotr.

The young boy had complete faith in his dad and knew he wouldn't abandon him and his mother. So he went to Piotr's mansion and that's what led him to discover the truth. Piotr had an immense torture chamber in the basement of his mansion where he did unspeakably cruel things to the workers he had promised to help.

Leone confirmed what the young boy had told her and with that, Piotr had become Night Raid's next target.

We all had our Imperial Arms ready. Bulat was clad with Incursio, Leone's body had partially transformed from Lionelle, and my hands had become volcanic-like claws due to Samael.

Akame: Are we sure the target is inside?

Akame asked, taking the lead and kneeling behind one of the shrubs to scan the guards around the mansion.

Leone: Yup! I tailed him all day. Tonight he's staying in to see which of his workers are deep enough in his debt that he can bring them to be his new "playthings".

Leone climbed up a tree and sat on one of its higher branches.

Mine: Tsk... I can't see him from any of the windows of his office. Looks like I'm just backup... again.

Mine followed Leone up and stationed herself to the high vantage point with her Imperial Arms, Pumpkin. A gun-type Imperial Arms that was close in size to Mine's body.

Bulat: Leone, let's break through those guards in one go.

Leone: You read my mind! There are around fifty guards here so we need to find the target fast.

Mine: Too bad a certain someone, didn't think Spectator was a cool enough Imperial Arms. We could know in an instant where the target is if we could see through solid objects.

Mine looked down at Tatsumi, who was crouching beside me, she had an obnoxious grin and one eyebrow raised.

Tatsumi: Would you stop with that already? Geez, I'll take whatever Imperial Arms we find next time.

Lubbock: Oh! Did you hear that everyone? Next time you see a strong Imperial Arms, you should put your life in danger just for Tatsumi's sake. Oh, but make sure it's 'cooooool' enough for him first. Only the best for our little prince.

Lubbock walked up behind Tatsumi and stroked his hair around playfully.

Tatsumi: Grr!

Sheele: I'll help you get a cool Imperial Arms, Tatsumi.

She raised her hand cheerfully.

Mine: Sheele, no! Don't go running off to do something dangerous for that spoiled brat.
