37: Accident At Subway

The Night Raid was a small unit of elite assassins, each one possessing a Teigu (Imperial Arms). There were seven members in total, led by Najenda. The other members were Akame, Leone, Lubbock, Mine, Sheele, and Bulat.

They had all gathered together after Najenda announced that a new member would be joining them.

That person was Chelsea.

"We got a new member? She doesn't look strong, though. Are you sure she won't just drag us down, Najenda?" The pink-haired, flat-chested, twin-tailed tsundere asked with her hands on her hips, eyeing Chelsea skeptically.

Mine was a short girl with pink eyes and very long pink hair tied into twin-tails on either side of her head. She wore a pink dress, and judging by how much she loved the color pink, Chelsea didn't even need to think twice to guess the color of her underwear.

Mine was the owner of Pumpkin, a Teigu that Kana, who loved guns, would surely adore.

"It seems that I came at the right time. It looks like Night Raid is so short on manpower that you're even having children among you." Chelsea popped a lollipop into her mouth and slowly sized Mine up from head to toe several times. Mine visibly shuddered under her scrutinizing gaze and instinctively covered her flat chest with her arms.

"Who are you calling a child?!" Mine glared at her furiously, her twin tails standing straight up in the air. "I am an adult!"

"Really?" Chelsea acted as if she were truly surprised before exclaiming, "Oh my goodness, you're flat as a chopping board! If you dressed like a boy, no one would even be able to tell the difference!"

"Shut up!!" Mine clenched her fists and glared at her furiously.

"You two can play later. First, introduce yourselves," Najenda interrupted them.

"I am not playing with her!" Mine shouted.

But everyone ignored her. She sat down, completely deflated like a flat balloon.

"I am Leone. Nice to meetcha, Chelsea!" Leone, the blonde-haired, busty woman, said with a bright smile as she wrapped an arm tightly around Chelsea's shoulders.

"Sheele is my name. I hope we can get along." Sheele smiled kindly at her.

She looked about twenty-five, with a slender, curvy figure and a beautiful face. She wore a sleeveless lilac cheongsam, and her purple hair and eyes were complemented by the glasses she wore.

Chelsea thought her outfit looked quite nice. Maybe she would borrow something similar and wear it for Natsuo the next time they met.

"I am Bulat! I was hoping the new member would be a man! We're getting outnumbered here, hahaha!" Bulat laughed loudly.

Finally, the last person was Lubbock, Najenda's secret simp. He swept a hand through his hair, trying to strike a cool pose, then gave Chelsea a confident smile and a wink. "I am Lubbock, beautiful lady. If you ever need anything, you can always come to me. I'll always be ready to help, especially at night."

"Gross!"

"Disgusting!"

"Pathetic!"

The girls all gave him disdainful looks. Their words pierced straight through the poor man's heart, and he slumped to the floor on all fours, utterly defeated.

"Akame," Akame simply introduced herself. Perhaps feeling that her introduction was too simple, she added, "Please don't die too quickly."

Chelsea's lips twitched. As expected of someone who had survived until the end, Akame was incredibly blunt.

She was sure that Akame didn't even know that she had killed Chelsea's friends and companions in the past, just as Chelsea had killed some of Akame's friends in return.

But that had been a few years ago.

"I heard from headquarters that you submitted some sort of powerful techniques," Najenda said.

"That's true. They're a set of superhuman martial arts techniques that a friend of mine from a faraway land gave me. They're called the Six Powers," Chelsea replied calmly.

In any case, she had never intended to keep the techniques to herself. Sharing them with Night Raid would increase their chances of survival and help them avoid the fate of being killed, as long as they stayed far away from Esdeath.

Because she had received the Six Powers as a reward, Chelsea had automatically learned the entire set and mastered all of its techniques without needing to train or practice them. She was somewhat limited by her relatively weak physique, but fortunately, she had already used her points to enhance her body and make herself considerably stronger.

"Really? It must be something impressive. Can you show it to us?" Najenda became curious about the mysterious set of techniques Chelsea had mentioned.

"Sure. Bulat, would you like to help me demonstrate?" Chelsea nodded and asked the gay former Imperial Officer.

"Oh? Sure! Come at me with everything you've got!" Bulat said enthusiastically.

The room they were in was quite large, so the two of them stood on opposite sides while the other assassins watched from the sidelines.

Chelsea pulled the lollipop from her mouth, licked her lips, then put it back between them. She kicked off the ground more than ten times in a single instant, and in the next moment, her body suddenly blurred.

Before Bulat could react, she appeared directly behind him and thrust a finger toward his back.

Puff!

Chelsea's finger pierced through Bulat's clothes and into his skin, but before it could penetrate any deeper, she quickly retracted her finger and moved away.

"Amazing!" Bulat touched his back and looked at the blood staining his palm. He exclaimed in surprise, "That move just now was fast!"

"That's not everything." Chelsea jumped into the air and began kicking at the air at incredible speed. With each kick, she gradually climbed higher until she was hovering in the air, her legs moving so quickly that she looked as if she were swimming through the sky. "How's that for impressive?"

"You can fly?! Awesome!" Bulat became even more excited when he saw her hovering in the air.

"She can fly without using a Teigu? How did she do it?" Mine had completely forgotten her anger and stared at Chelsea with wide eyes.

Everyone else looked at Chelsea with surprise and astonishment. Even Akame was staring at her with sparkling eyes.

"This move is called Moonwalk. You kick the air to propel yourself through the sky." Chelsea felt somewhat smug seeing their reactions before continuing, "The next move is called Storm Leg."

She swung her leg through the air, and an arc of compressed air shot forward from her kick. The invisible blade tore through the air, flew past Bulat, and crashed into the wall behind him, leaving a deep, clean cut across its surface.

"How's that? Pretty strong, right?" Chelsea landed on the ground and gave Mine a provocatively smug look, which only made the pink-haired girl even more furious.

"Indeed, these skills are very strong," Najenda said calmly after recovering from the shock. Then she pointed toward the damaged wall. "But you damaged the wall. How are you planning to repair it?"

"Eh?! That's unfair! I was just demonstrating!"

"You could've demonstrated it outside!"

...

Ring! Ring!

"Your phone ling ling! Your phone ling ling! Big boy, come pick up your phone!"

After taking a nap, Natsuo was woken up by the sound of his phone ringing. He glanced at the number and saw that it was Hina calling. He casually muted the call and tossed the phone aside.

Standing up, he picked up the trash scattered across the table and washed the dishes before picking up his phone and leaving the house.

"She called sixteen times?"

Natsuo didn't know why Hina was calling him, but since he had agreed with Rui to stop talking to her until she broke up with her married boyfriend, he figured he shouldn't answer her calls. Besides, if it were something important, Rui or his father would have called him.

Ring!

Rui: [Where are you? Hina-nee is looking for you.]

Natsuo: [Working. Did you talk to her?]

Rui: [No. I'm not talking to her until she breaks up with that cheating scumbag!]

Natsuo: [Good.]

'I'll go buy some new clothes. The ones I own are too small,' Natsuo thought as he walked out of the apartment. Fortunately, the subway station wasn't too far away.

With his earphones in, he walked through the streets. As he walked, he noticed that many girls were stealing glances at him.

"So tall!"

"He is so handsome! Should I go ask for his number?"

"Look at yourself first. He's way out of your league!"

"He looks like a model! He's so handsome, tall, and strong! I want him to hug me tightly!"

"Fufufu, he has a nice butt. I wouldn't mind spending a night in jail if I could squeeze it!"

"..." Natsuo hated how sensitive his hearing had become. He really didn't want to hear their whispers, especially that last one.

As he got onto the subway, Natsuo made sure to keep at least a meter away from any woman. He didn't want to risk being framed for something like last time.

He grabbed one of the overhead handles with one hand and held his phone in the other, scrolling through listings for houses and apartments posted online by real estate agencies.

'What is that guy doing?'

By coincidence, out of the corner of his eye, Natsuo suddenly noticed a middle-aged man reaching out with his hand, apparently trying to touch a woman. Perhaps because he had been framed himself the last time, he had developed a strong hatred for this kind of person. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm tightly.

"What are you doing?!"

"Ah! I am not doing anything! Who are you? Let go of me!" The man panicked and tried to pull his arm away, but Natsuo's grip didn't budge.

The woman who had nearly been molested turned around and saw what was happening.

She was a tall, beautiful woman with grey hair and glasses that covered her brown eyes. The most remarkable feature about her was her huge, incredibly large breasts, emphasized even more by the open collar of her outfit, which nearly exposed her entire chest.

Natsuo had a hard time tearing his gaze away from her cleavage before finally looking at her face. "This man tried to touch you."

"Him? Human scum! Disgusting male!" The grey haired woman turned her gaze toward the panicked man. Without any warning, she suddenly kicked him in the nuts!

She was wearing high heels; their pointed tips made the blow even more brutal.

"!!!" The man's eyes rolled back as he opened his mouth and let out a soundless cry before collapsing to the ground. He lay there foaming at the mouth, his body twitching like a stomped cockroach.

'Shit!' Witnessing the scene, Natsuo couldn't help but clutch his thighs. Even though it wasn't him who got kicked, he could still feel the pain in his nuts just from watching!

"Thank you." The grey haired woman shifted her attention to Natsuo and thanked him.

"Yeah, no problem." Natsuo gave her a nod and stopped talking; that kick from earlier made him fear that his nuts would also be busted if he talked to her and said the wrong word.

[Nerima Ward Station!]

The subway reached Nerima Ward, and Natsuo stepped off the train. He muttered, "Using the subway is such a pain. Maybe I should buy a motorcycle."

Using cars in cities with heavy traffic like Tokyo can be a nightmare. Sometimes, when traffic is at its peak, it would be much faster to walk than to drive a freaking car. That's why most people prefer using the subway rather than buying a car. Motorcycles are good too since they won't get stuck in traffic the way cars do.

Besides, Natsuo couldn't drive a car yet. He was only seventeen, after all.

"That's a good idea." Suddenly, the voice of the grey haired girl came from behind him. When Natsuo turned around to look at her, she extended her hand and said, "I am Meiko Shiraki. Thank you for earlier."

"Natsuo Fujii, nice to meet you." Natsuo gave her another long look. She was really wearing some sexy as fuck clothes. An ultra short skirt, black knee length latex boots with high heels, and earlier, when she kicked that man, he had noticed that she was actually wearing a freaking purple thong!
