Chapter 100
"Then you can try it now."
Once Clara understood everything, she was allowed to try it out directly.
Clara hesitated for a moment, but obediently prepared to give it a try. She took a deep breath and then submerged herself in the water.
Clara couldn't hold her breath for more than a few seconds after diving in; air escaped from her mouth, and she inhaled a lot of river water.
Just as Clara was panicking underwater, Akame, who had been watching the girl closely, swam to her side immediately.
Then he hugged the panicked Clara, brought his head close to hers, and kissed the girl directly, passing his breath to her.
Clara quieted down after being embraced by Akame. Her next action, however, made the girl's eyes widen in surprise.
Then he just stared blankly at Akame in front of him until she led him out of the water and onto the surface.
"Thanks..."
Clara coughed a few times, then quickly took a deep breath before thanking Akame with Akame cheeks. Akame, however, seemed unaffected, simply giving a casual "hmm."
What's wrong with you all?
Leone approached and sensed that something was off between the two.
"No, it's nothing."
Clara quickly waved her hand, eager to explain.
But this only made her more suspicious...
But judging from Akame's reaction, everything seemed normal.
Akame then patiently taught Clara for a while, nodding in satisfaction only after confirming that she had learned enough.
Then he dived into the water by himself and soon caught several big fish with his bare hands.
Akame kept throwing the fish she caught onto the shore. In the last instance, Akame had been diving for almost half an hour. Just when Clara was getting a little worried, she actually appeared nearby carrying a three-meter-long Danger Beast fish.
"What a huge fish!"
Clara was a little surprised to see such a huge fish in front of her.
This is clearly a freshwater fish, yet it's so big.
This is truly a world teeming with Danger Beast.
As dusk fell, everyone had already come up from the river, and Akame had set up a woodpile and started grilling all the fish she had caught earlier.
Compared to other aspects, Akame's biggest concern is still food.
She even prepared the seasonings in advance, adding them while grilling the fish.
However, with so many fish, including a three-meter-long giant, it would be unreasonable to leave Akame to handle all the work alone.
Others started to help, including Clara.
"It's ready to eat."
They worked until it was completely dark. Akame tore off a piece of fish, tasted it, and nodded in satisfaction. It was perfectly seasoned, and the skin was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Fantastic!
"Let's eat! We've been craving it for so long after it's been grilling!"
Upon hearing this, the others quickly gathered around the fire and began to eat the grilled fish.
But simply eating meat seemed to be missing something. Clara suddenly realized that although this world lacked modern entertainment facilities, Mr. Svarog seemed to have some built-in functions.
For example, the movie function...
"Hey, does everyone want to go see a movie together?"
Clara, holding the roasted meat, thought for a moment and then asked the others a question.
"Movies? What are those?"
Everyone else was puzzled by Clara's words and didn't understand what Clara meant.
"Movies are... are one of Mr. Svarog's Remembrance banks, something really interesting... like a lot of people playing house together!"
"Then Mr. Svarog can project the image, and everyone can watch it together."
Clara described the existence of the film to everyone in detail, but her explanation was clearly not very clear to everyone.
"A lot of people playing house together... uh..."
Although they didn't quite understand, seeing the lovely girl trying so hard to describe it, everyone present naturally didn't want to disappoint her, so they exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"I'm not entirely sure, but we're free right now, so if it's alright... shall we go watch this so-called movie with Clara?"
Leone licked the oil from the grilled fish off his fingers, moved closer to Clara, and pulled her into his arms.
She still really liked the youngest sister who Night Raid.
Regardless of what the movie is, it seems like it would be nice to be able to play with her.
"Alright, then I'll Mr. Svarog."
"Mr. Svarog, could you please start the movie projection here?"
Clara felt a little strange being held in Leone's arms, but she didn't resist, as it seemed quite comfortable.
Then she spoke to the empty space behind her.
[Can.]
[Open the Remembrance bank... movie, begin 3D projection!]
Upon hearing Clara's request, Svarog appeared behind her and then began projecting the movie.
However, the movies in Svarog's Remembrance bank are all about Belobog and a small number of movies about the Interastral Peace Corporation.
There are no familiar films or television shows about Earth...
However, despite their differences, there are many excellent films among them.
Meanwhile, the projector on the Svarog projector was playing a movie about assassins who are also heroes. It Remembrance Clara of the internationally award-winning film "Hero."
"Is this what a movie is?"
"That's amazing..."
Watching the movie projected by Svarog, Akame, Leone, Shil, Mine were visibly shocked; it was as if they were witnessing someone else's life story firsthand.
Although they didn't recognize any of the people or the environment in the movie.
However, the language projected on the Svarog was translated in real time, so it didn't affect the viewing experience.
Enjoying delicious grilled fish while watching a movie...
The girls were completely immersed in it and experienced a different kind of entertainment.
Clara and Akame did not go back that night, but waited until the next morning to return to the base.
Nadjeshda appeared before them as soon as they arrived at the base.
"It seems you had a lot of fun last night, but it's time to get down to business."
"A new mission has arrived, and it's quite different from the previous ones."
"..."
Hearing Nadjeshda's tone, the group was clearly curious.
"Boss, what's the mission?"
"The target of this mission is a serial killer who has recently been the subject of rumors in the capital."
Nadjeshda handed Akame several intelligence reports and began to recount information about their target.
"He would randomly appear somewhere in the capital at night, behead anyone he encountered, and take their heads away. In recent days, there have been dozens of victims."
"Moreover, 30% of the victims were members of the Imperial Capital Security Force, which can be described as dangerous individuals who cannot distinguish between friend and foe."
Although most of the Security Forces are corrupt, those who managed to rise through the ranks must have some ability.
Just Ouka, although he was easily killed by Akame, it doesn't mean he was weak. On the contrary, he was also capable of tearing apart Level 1 Danger Beast.
They dare to confront Special Class Danger Beast head-on.
It was just that he lacked the power of the Imperial Arms; otherwise, he wouldn't have died so easily.
This serial killer is clearly no ordinary person!
"Since he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, why not just let the Security Forces fight him like dogs?"
At this moment Mine couldn't help but speak up.
In her opinion, the Security Forces weren't good people either, so wouldn't it be better to let them hurt each other? Why get involved!
"We can't just see the Security Forces fighting him, but also the innocent civilians..."
"Anyone who walks in front of him will be indiscriminately killed by him, which is absolutely unacceptable."
Nadjeshda explained helplessly that Night Raid was not entirely a profit-driven assassin organization; everyone, including Nadjeshda, was a certain degree of idealism.
How could such a serial killer be allowed to continue his indiscriminate killing?
Once the Security Forces and he reach a certain point in their fight, she believes that even more innocent bystanders will die at his hands.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mine said nothing more.
"If I'm not mistaken, this serial killer should be that [Zanck the Headhunter]."
Akame and Lubbock put down the intelligence in their hands, having already guessed the identity of this serial killer.
"It must be him."
Nadjeshda nodded in agreement.
Zanck the Headhunter was originally the executioner in the largest prison in the capital.
Because of the constant corruption and infighting in the capital in recent years, more and more people are being slandered and framed by ministers.
The number of people needing to be executed in prisons is also increasing.
As the executioner, Zank had to endure a life of constant interrogation, execution, and beheading for many years.
How terrible would it be if someone made interrogation, execution, and beheading a habit?
Zank made this kind of life a habit, and when he was no longer satisfied with carrying out this habit in prison, he began to leave prison and randomly harm innocent people.
Because of Zank's indiscriminate killing, the capital even organized a special expedition to subdue him. However, after countless people were sacrificed, Zank eventually escaped and disappeared.
Chapter 41 The Battle Between Shil and Zank
"I never expected that he would reappear after disappearing for so long."
As a former soldier of the Imperial Capital, Brood naturally had some understanding of this serial killer. He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, with a serious expression.
This guy is not as easy to deal with as the previous targets.
"Based on the information we have, this Zank must have stolen the warden's Teigu from the prison."
"So this time your target is a Teigu user," Nadjeshda continued, revealing the most crucial information.
One aspect is eliminating harm for the people, but the Imperial Arms in his possession are also very important items.
Each Imperial Arms is an important strategic item, and may even influence the course of a war. If possible, she would naturally want to obtain the Imperial Arms in Zank's possession.
"Just a Teigu user, boss... leave the mission to us."
While Teigu users are indeed terrifying to others, almost all members of Night Raid are Teigu users, so how could they possibly fear a Zank?
