Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 034

“Tatsumi, careful!”

Lin Yu kicked Tatsumi away, crossing his swords to block Ogre’s longsword.

“You want to punish me? No way!”

“Bang!”

As Ogre changed his stance and struck down with force, the ground beneath Lin Yu’s feet slightly caved in.

“Captain Ogre, you’re quite strong.”

Lin Yu took the heavy blow head-on, then used both hands to forcefully parry Ogre’s longsword.

“Lin Yu, are you alright?”

Tatsumi, who had been kicked away, quickly scrambled up from the ground and came to Lin Yu’s side, raising his sword.

“I’m fine, just curious why his heart is on the right side.”

Lin Yu stared at Ogre’s left chest, which was still oozing blood. This was the first time he had encountered someone with their heart on the right.

“It’s my first time seeing it too,” Tatsumi said, also curious.

“Are you two looking down on me?!”

Ogre swung his longsword.

Lin Yu and Tatsumi exchanged a glance, a smile playing on their lips.

“Pfft!”

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu and Tatsumi were behind Ogre with their swords raised.

“This great me…”

Before he could finish his sentence, several deep gashes appeared on Ogre’s body, spewing a large amount of fresh blood before he fell heavily to the ground.

[Ding! Imperial Capital Guard Captain ‘Ogre’ has died. Random reward ‘Optimization’ has been issued.]

[Ding! Obtained skill ‘Optimization’: A special skill from a certain Staff Hero, capable of altering one’s own and others’ physical appearances, with an added memory wipe effect.]

[Usage method: Torment the target until their consciousness collapses, or when your own beliefs crumble. (Unconditional use for allies and self)]

“My goodness, this skill exists? This is getting wild.” Lin Yu immediately extended his palm: “Optimize!”

A faint pink glow appeared on his palm.

“Eh? Lin Yu, your hand is glowing?” Tatsumi, who had just finished cleaning up, turned around and noticed Lin Yu’s hand glowing.

“This is a new ability my Imperial Armament just developed.” Lin Yu moved his hand downwards, “Oh~, it got bigger…”

He clearly felt his “second brother” suddenly become invincible. If he continued to exert force, reaching the so-called Diaochan at the waist would be easily achievable.

“Stop, stop, quickly stop. This ability is truly heaven-defying.”

Lin Yu quickly stopped the optimization. It was better not to let his “second brother” be invincible right now.

“Ah~, I’m so envious. When will I have my own Imperial Armament?”

Tatsumi’s eyes gleamed as he stared at Lin Yu’s hand. He really wanted an Imperial Armament too. Although he didn’t know what ability caused Lin Yu’s hand to glow, it must have been very cool. After all, his hand was glowing. The last time something glowed was his cooking, which was exceptionally delicious.

“You will. The Revolutionary Army is a big organization, so there’s definitely an Imperial Armament suitable for you,” Lin Yu said, putting his arm around Tatsumi, smiling. You’re the protagonist, after all. You’ll definitely get an Imperial Armament. I just wonder what type it will be.

“Really? I’m also looking forward to seeing what kind of Imperial Armament suits me,” Tatsumi fantasized. He preferred armor-type Imperial Armaments like his elder brother’s; they were incredibly cool.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Flower District.

“Hehe, even though I just went to the restroom to relieve myself, I still want to have some fun and relax.”

In a narrow, deserted corridor, a short man resembling a frog was wiping his hands as he strolled along.

“Then let me help you reach paradise! Jamal!”

Two furry hands suddenly reached out from the darkness and tightly squeezed Jamal.

The next second, a katana plunged directly into his heart.

“Ugh!”

Jamal let out a muffled grunt and fell to the ground. At this moment, the furry hands revealed their owner: Leone.

“To have us two beautiful girls send you off, you’re truly a lucky bastard,” Leone teased.

“Leone, look at that.”

Akame looked downstairs and nudged Leone to look down.

“What is it, little Akame?”

Leone leaned against the wall and glanced down, immediately startled.

“Isn’t that Ieyasu? He’s actually at this shop, and he seems to be having a lot of fun.”

The person downstairs was indeed Ieyasu. He was surrounded by a group of voluptuous and somewhat innocent-looking older sisters, preparing to play a game of “catch the butterfly.”

“Let’s go, the mission is complete.” Akame wasn’t concerned about this and urged Leone to leave.

“Alright~! I didn’t expect to get this kind of gossip while completing the mission. Ieyasu seems so honest, but in reality… hehe…”

Leone covered her mouth and chuckled, following Akame to retreat. After all, Akame was a wanted person and couldn’t be discovered.

Night Raid Base.

Lin Yu and Tatsumi, having completed their mission, returned to the base first.

“Lin Yu, do you think we forgot something?”

Tatsumi couldn’t remember what they had forgotten the entire way back.

“No… right?”

Lin Yu couldn’t remember what they had forgotten either for a moment.

“You two finished the mission very quickly,” Najenda said, greeting them at the base entrance.

“Of course, don’t you know who we are?” Tatsumi’s nose sharpened, a sign of his smugness.

“We’re both invincible, alright~” Lin Yu said, striking a pose in agreement.

“Then… please come in, you two successful gentlemen. Akame and Leone haven’t returned yet,” Najenda made a welcoming gesture.

“Akame and the others haven’t returned yet? Looks like we’re still better.”

Tatsumi sat in the meeting room, proudly chatting with Najenda.

As for Lin Yu, he remained silent, taking advantage of the moment to check Ieyasu’s goodwill value branches.

[Ding! Ieyasu’s special branch route has been activated.]

[One, He is my loyal subordinate: Be careful not to let him catch your little secrets, otherwise you will become his subordinate. Recommended 90% brotherhood value, so he will fight with full power.]

[Random rewards will be given when brotherhood value reaches 50%, 70%, and 90% respectively.]

[Two, Indescribable choice: Do not casually bend over to pick up things on the ground, especially soap; also do not expose your back to him, because what is behind you is not necessarily a weapon.]

[Random rewards will be given when bromance value reaches 50% and 100% respectively.]

“One! One! One! I choose one!” Lin Yu decided immediately. He had no special fetishes and wasn’t from “that city,” so he didn’t need two. One was enough.

[Ding! Host has chosen branch route one: He is my loyal subordinate. 60% goodwill value has been converted to 52% brotherhood value. Random reward has been issued.]

“Now, including Sayo, there are two random rewards in total. I didn’t expect Ieyasu’s goodwill value to reach 60%. Looks like he’s having a lot of fun,” Lin Yu thought to himself.

“Boss, our mission was successfully completed, we’re back~”

Leone pushed open the meeting room door and said happily, with Akame following behind her.

“You’ve worked hard,” Najenda said, exhaling a puff of smoke.

“Haha, Lin Yu and I came back earlier than you two~.”

Tatsumi pointed at Leone and Akame, his face showing an expression of waiting for praise…
