Zongman: Start with the shooting of Hayasaka Ai!

"I didn't expect you to be so tough~ It seems I have no way to deal with you~"

An Xue seemed to be really at his wit's end.

"In that case, I can only delete all your memories of me and kick you out~"

As if he could really delete the memory, An Xue's palm gradually turned towards Esdeath's head.

Suddenly stopped.

"Oh my, I haven't deleted my memory for a long time. Will I become an idiot because I'm no longer good at it?"

"Forget it, forget it~ They are enemies anyway~ It doesn't matter~"

The big hand began to move forward again.

Esdeath's eyes were filled with fear, and she pushed back a few steps.

"No! Wait!"

Esdeath was a little panicked. The man in front of her seemed to have shaking arms.

"Hmm? Have you thought of your last words?"

An Xue slapped his lips in self-blame: "Pah, what last words? How unlucky~"

"Don't worry! My hands are steady. I will definitely not delete even a little bit of your memory!"

A lewd smile appeared on his lips again, as if he wanted to use her to test the waters.

"No! Wait!! I said!"

Esdeath looked at An Xue's hands, which were shaking with excitement, and shouted out.

The hand that was almost touching Esdeath's head stopped.

"Oh~~?"

"Say it!"

An Xue looked at the girl in front of him with amusement. There shouldn't be anything in the Akagi world that can interfere with the brain, right?

"I..."

Esdeath stared at An Xue's hand, afraid that he would suddenly touch her.

"I'm here to observe the lives of my subordinates!"

Esdeath's eyes lit up, and when she was being carried away by An Xue, she saw Asuna was also there!

"Ok?"

An Xue's expression was a little strange: "Who is your subordinate?"

"Asuna! Asuna and Argo!"

Esdeath said it immediately! She remembered that they lived together! Maybe it would reduce An Xue's malice if she said it together!

"They both..."

An Xue scratched his head and finally found an excuse for her.

"really?"

An Xue tilted his head, as if believing Esdeath's bullshit.

"real!"

Esdeath was glad that she had done the research.

"I really won't let you go~"

He turned his head and looked straight at Esdeath again, with joy in his eyes.

? !

A bolt from the blue flashed through Esdeath's mind, and she was stunned for a moment, with a curse in her mouth but she didn't know if she could spit it out.

"and you..."

Esdeath wanted to say, then why did you ask her.

He opened his mouth and lowered his head. A man's mouth can be deceiving. Suddenly, he felt that he had no desires or requests.

Hey--

With a secret laugh, An Xue withdrew his sinful little hand.

"Since you are Asuna's boss, you should know Asuna's strength, right?"

When Asuna came back a few days ago, he was already a viscount.

If I fight against Esdeath, even if I don't beat her, a draw is still possible.

"Asuina is not the strongest in our family."

An Xue pointedly said, "Who do you think you can beat here?"

Esdeath was stunned for a moment and almost forgot that her previous goal was to defeat Asuna.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask An Xuebi who was stronger than Asuna, but suddenly realized her identity.

"What do you mean?"

Esdeath asked directly.

"You can't escape from here!"

An Xue smiled and said, "Actually, there is another way for you to leave!"

Seeing the dagger in his eyes, An Xue turned the subject to his real purpose!

Esdeath stared at An Xue, waiting for his next words.

"Aren't you an imperial general?"

Grinning, laughing: "Join the night raid and overthrow the empire!"

“Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?”

An Xue tilted his head, like a villain tempting people to commit a crime.

"No, I won't do it!"

Esdeath tilted her head. She was not a fool. The man in front of her had no good intentions towards her.

?

An Xue was stunned for a moment. This woman didn't play by the rules.

"What a great opportunity! The night raid didn't take down the empire, but you can take down the empire if you join."

"Does that mean you alone can overthrow the empire?"

An Xue continued to induce.

Esdeath found this somewhat amusing.

"Do you think I will believe you?"

Esdeath narrowed her eyes, already certain that the man in front of her was playing with her.

Don't believe him?!

An Xue touched his little heart, wondering whether Esdeath had grown crooked or he had remembered it wrong.

"So you don't want to join us?"

An Xue's eyes darkened slightly, as if he was going to use a big move if she didn't agree.

"Ha! If you have any tricks, use them now!"

Esdeath raised her head. Even if An Xue wanted to delete her memory, she would not say a word!

Sit on the floor with your eyes closed.

--------

warmth--

Esdeath's body tensed; the huge hand above her head was her only enemy now.

Rustle, rustle———

After pulling Esdeath's head a few times, An Xue withdrew his hand.

"Did it succeed?"

An Xue's whisper came to my ears.

Esdeath opened her eyes and looked at An Xue in confusion.

"what?"

“It looks like a success!”

An Xue stood up: "I probably won't remember anything later!"

Under Esdeath's confused gaze, An Xue slashed her shoulder with a hand blade.

The huge impact directly knocked Esdeath unconscious.

Rustle, rustle———

An Xue smiled as he laid Esdeath flat on his bed.

"Be prepared to receive pranks from the evil party!"

————Time girl blinked and said hello to you————

Well---

Esdeath felt a tearing pain near her neck and subconsciously touched her shoulder.

"What am I?"

Sitting up straight, Esdeath began to recall.

"Erase the memory?"

She raised her brows as she remembered the last few words An Xue said before he fell into coma.

"Didn't you delete it..."

Esdeath propped herself up and tried to get out of bed.

'She's awake! Listen carefully! Don't reveal that I deleted her memory. Treat her as one of our family!'

"As long as we gain her trust, Esdeath will not believe the Empire's excuses!"

There were some small noises outside the door.

Esdeath opened her mouth.

Click————

The door was pushed open and An Xue walked in with a bowl of soup.

"Xiao Ai? Awake?"

Placing the broth on the bedside table, An Xue gently laid Esdeath flat on the bed.

"If you're injured, don't move around. Just let your wound heal slowly."

They spoke in soft voices, as if they were really family.

"Um... where am I...?"

When Esdeath saw An Xue looking at her with a smile, a bold guess came to her mind.

"This is your home~"
