Because Zank's Future Sight allowed him to keep up with Akame's speed, and Akame also had to watch out for the girl, the two were evenly matched for a time.
But the next moment... with a sharp crack, Zank's dagger broke.
"Go!"
After slicing Zank's dagger in half, Akame did not press her advantage. Instead, she turned, grabbed the girl, and ran toward the rear.
She only wanted to save the girl. Zank froze for a moment before hurriedly giving chase, but they soon vanished from sight.
He had no choice but to give up!
"He didn't follow us."
After making off with the girl, Akame did not see Zank chasing after them and immediately stopped.
"Th-thank you!"
The girl beside Akame was panting heavily, but fortunately, she had survived. Looking at Akame, who had saved her, she sincerely thanked her.
"Mm. Go home first. Don't come out late at night unless you have to in the future."
Akame glanced at her and replied expressionlessly.
For her sake, she had even disobeyed Lady Durandal's orders, though she would make up for it immediately.
"Mm-hm, I never will again. Um... how about coming home with me? I want to thank you for saving my life..."
"There's no need. I won't see you off either. I have something to do. Goodbye!" With that, she decisively turned and left, ignoring the girl as she ran back in the direction she had come from.
Fortunately, Zank had not gone far. Akame found him again before long, but this time, she did not act rashly. After sending Lady Durandal a signal, she began carefully tracking Zank from the shadows.
They had found Zank?
Upon receiving Akame's message, Durandal finally took the matter a little more seriously. She told Akame to keep following him,
