Slash the Scarlet Eyes: Start with a Starburst Air Stream Slash Chapter 122

At this moment, Chelsea, with a lollipop in her mouth, stealthily circled behind Akame. She gently fiddled with Akame’s black hair and said with a smile,

“You must be Akame, right? You’re even cuter than the rumors say~.”

“Wha… What’s wrong all of a sudden…?” Akame’s ear tips turned slightly red, looking a bit flustered.

“My name is Chelsea. From now on, we’ll be comrades working together~.” She shook the candy in her hand. “Here, a welcoming gift.”

Akame’s eyes lit up. She took the lollipop and nodded seriously, “Mm, welcome.”

“Oh no! Akame’s been bought off!” Mine clutched her forehead.

“Is it because of the candy?” Leone teased.

Tatsumi sized up Chelsea and whispered to Najenda, “Boss, she looks even less like an assassin than Mine…”

Najenda exhaled a smoke ring and said indifferently, “Don’t judge a book by its cover. Her assassination record is no worse than Akame’s.”

After dinner, Tatsumi looked at the barren mountain forest and scratched his head, asking, “Boss, are we setting up our own tents tonight?”

Najenda’s lips curled slightly. “No need.” She snapped her fingers. “Susanoo, let them witness your abilities.”

“As you command.”

Susanoo lifted his axe, his figure streaking through the forest like wind. In the blink of an eye, he felled dozens of giant trees.

Then, he rapidly built a wooden house according to the blueprint, even casually creating an open-air kitchen. The entire process was smooth and seamless, completed in less than half an hour.

“This… This is too exaggerated?!” Tatsumi was dumbfounded.

Chelsea whistled and turned to Mine with a mischievous smile, “How about it? Flat-chested shorty, jealous?”

“You!” Mine instantly bristled. Sheele quickly pulled her back, “Calm… Calm down…”

Late at night, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

In the boys’ dormitory, Lin Yu lay lifelessly on the floor mat. Beside him, Lubbock and Tatsumi snored like thunder. The two of them had somehow huddled together, sleeping without any regard for their image, making Brother Bulat incredibly envious, wishing he could be sandwiched in between them.

“Hoo… Chh…”

“Ah… Hoo…”

Lin Yu turned over and sighed, “Sigh, without Little Akame to hug while sleeping, what’s the meaning of life…”

Susanoo sat by the campfire, silently adding firewood. Seeing Lin Yu’s state, he asked, “Can’t sleep?”

“Mm…” Lin Yu looked at him resentfully, “Mr. Susanoo, can you turn into a girl?”

Susanoo’s voice paused. “…No.”

Lin Yu let out a long sigh, “Alright… What a shame. It would be so good if you had a female form.”

Imperial Capital Palace.

Esdeath sat in the empty conference room, her fingertips lightly tapping the table.

The door was pushed open, and Run and Bols walked in, holding reports.

“General, we have completed a full investigation of Dr. Stylish’s laboratory.” Run’s expression was grim. “But… we haven’t found any conclusive clues regarding his disappearance.”

Bols flipped through the report and added, “Research materials and tools are scattered everywhere. It doesn’t look like he evacuated on his own. I’m afraid… he’s already been killed by the enemy.”

“Oh?” Esdeath slightly raised her eyes. “What about the enhanced soldiers?”

“All missing.” Bols said in a low voice, “We infer that after engaging the enemy… they were completely annihilated.”

Esdeath stood up and walked to the window, her gaze falling on Seryu, who stood alone on the lawn. She said softly, “Seryu… has lost another ‘benefactor’.”

Esdeath pushed open the glass door and walked towards Seryu.

The night wind blew, making the girl’s back seem particularly frail.

Koro stood sadly at her feet.

“Stylish is gone. If you need to become stronger, you can come to me,” Esdeath asked.

Seryu turned around, forcing a faint smile. “It’s fine, Captain. Besides, Lin Yu hates me modifying my body.”

Before her words finished, her voice suddenly choked.

Images flashed through her mind: Dr. Stylish laughing as he patted her shoulder, and the first time she met Lin Yu.

Tears welled up and streamed down her face.

“Parents, master, benefactor… even Lin Yu…” Seryu clenched her fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms. “Everyone I cherished… has been taken away by those villains! Captain, I… I hate them so much…”

Esdeath reached out and pulled her into a hug. Her icy blue long hair fell onto Seryu’s shoulder.

“Follow me.” The General’s voice was low and firm. “Your wish, I will make it come true. Definitely.”

Seryu buried her face in Esdeath’s chest, trembling as she nodded, “My life, my strength… I dedicate everything to Captain, to justice!”

At the other end of the corridor, Wave clenched his fist, his mother’s words echoing in his mind:

“If a girl is crying, a true man should step forward!”

He took a deep breath and strode towards the lawn. “Seryu! I…”

His words abruptly stopped.

Under the setting sun, Seryu was being tightly embraced by Esdeath, tears on her face… yet a look of almost blissful dependence appeared.

Wave froze in place. “…Huh?”

From a distance, Run’s sigh could be heard. “Young people…”

Time passed quickly.

Mount Magu.

The setting sun dyed the lake of Mount Magu golden. Akame sat cross-legged on a raft, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed on a rice ball.

Suddenly, the fishing rod bent violently.

“It’s on the hook!”

She yanked the rod, and a giant fish, easily three meters long and wide, burst out of the water, drawing a shimmering arc in the air.

Susanoo reached out and picked a grain of rice from the corner of Akame’s mouth. “There.”

As his words fell, the fish, with its gaping maw, lunged towards his face.

A cold glint flashed, and the fish’s head was precisely pinned to the raft with a cleaver. Its tail was still slapping noisily.

“We’re having a whole fish feast tonight,” Susanoo said calmly.

Akame’s eyes sparkled. “Mr. Susanoo is the best!”

…

Small dining hall.

Leone lay sprawled on the sofa, rubbing her stomach. “Mr. Susanoo’s cooking can truly heal the soul~! Although it doesn’t glow, its taste is extremely close to Lin Yu’s.”

Akame meticulously washed the plates. “Thank you for the meal.”

“Mr. Susanoo!” Tatsumi rushed in, waving a wooden stick. “Please guide me in special training tomorrow!”

Najenda proudly exhaled smoke rings. “I told you Susanoo was our ace. Do you believe it now?”

“But…” Tatsumi curiously poked Susanoo. “The Revolutionary Army actually let us have such a powerful Teigu?”

“It slept for many years until it met me and awakened.” Najenda brushed her hair back. “It was probably awakened by my charm, with a little bit of money’s help, of course.”

“Its previous owner was also like that. He was also an excellent general,” Susanoo suddenly said.

“He?” Najenda’s cigarette dropped to the floor.

“Pfft ha ha ha!” Leone rolled on the floor laughing. “He said you’re as handsome as a man!”

Tatsumi and Ieyasu’s faces were red from holding back laughter. “Big Sister, you spit on me… huh?”

“Click, click, click!”

The clicking of mechanical joints brought the laughter to an abrupt halt.

Najenda’s fist created large bumps on the heads of the three. “Is. This. Very. Amusing?”

Lubbock watched the scene sourly. “Everyone accepted Mr. Susanoo so quickly… My position as the group’s favorite…”

Mine took a small bite of cake. “Lin Yu already took that.”

Just then, a small cat jumped onto the sofa and rubbed affectionately against her arm.

“Just so you know,” Mine turned her head, “I won’t feed… Hey!”

“Meow~ Meow~”

The cat suddenly leaped up, snatched the plate, and transformed into Chelsea upon landing. “Meow~ Thanks, flat-chested sis~”

“Trans… Transformation?!” Lubbock’s eyes widened.

Chelsea twirled her foundation compact. “Teigu: Gaian Foundation. It can even transform your panties, you know?”

“Mine.” She suddenly leaned close to the stunned pink-haired girl. “If you keep being so careless, the next one to die in action…”

“I won’t!”
