Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

After a detailed conversation, Tatsumi roughly understood what Nadezhda meant by "being an emperor for fun."

The specific meaning is that he should make his goal known to Esdeath, and then she will lead the night raid and a group of like-minded companions in the Revolutionary Army to form an alliance with the hunters and the army under Esdeath.

Use absolute power to eliminate the minister's lineage and force the young emperor to abdicate.

In short - forcing the emperor to abdicate.

It sounds like their goal is the same as the Revolutionary Army's, which is to overthrow the Empire, but their nature is completely different.

To collude with foreign ethnic groups to overthrow the empire is to be called a traitor, to put it bluntly.

But if the locals rise up in rebellion and overthrow the imperial power, the nature of the situation will be completely different, evolving from collusion with foreign parties to an internal coup.

An internal coup is launched against high-level officials and will not affect ordinary people.

To stabilize the external situation, you must first control the internal situation.

If the coup succeeds, the imperial capital will be more powerful than ever before. When facing the revolutionary army... a revolutionary army without native people, or more accurately a foreign nationality, it will not be in a passive situation.

After all, Esdeath's strength alone is enough to suppress those foreign races that are ready to make trouble.

In fact, Nadezhda had this idea before, and she had talked to Esdeath about it. However, that woman was stubborn and would not listen to anyone. She was only interested in killing and war, and had no interest in power at all. She preferred constant war to the tranquility of the imperial capital.

This is also the reason why, even though Esdeath clearly has the ability to directly threaten the center of power, the minister still feels confident in handing over the position of general and a large amount of military power to her.

Esdeath does not pose a power threat to the minister, but is instead a good partner.

The minister is responsible for playing political games, while Esdeath is responsible for suppressing with force. The two use each other without interfering with each other.

The appearance of Tatsumi gave Nadezhda a glimmer of hope.

The hope of changing that stubborn woman.

Why must there be bloodshed when something can be resolved peacefully?

People are made of flesh and blood, and Nadezhda is no exception.

Having been with everyone for such a long time, she also hoped that her companions in Night Raid would have a good ending in the end, rather than dying in disputes.

"Tatsumi, what do you think?"

After the conversation, Nadezhda stared at Tatsumi with bright eyes.

The most critical part of the plan is whether Tatsumi can control Esdeath. If he succeeds, everything will go smoothly afterwards.

"Try it."

Tatsumi did not agree to it decisively.

He never stands up.

But I think there is a high probability that Esdeath will support me.

"I'll leave it to you, Tatsumi."

Nadezhda stretched out her hand and shook it with great strength, which reflected her high hopes for Tatsumi.

"Ugh..."

Tatsumi sighed. Nadezhda felt nervous when she saw this. She thought there was some difficulty and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just didn't expect to hear these words from the Night Raid leader."

"Uh." Nadezhda was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with my position. I am a human being with my own thinking ability. Naturally, I hope to get the best solution."

"really."

Tatsumi nodded in agreement.

I almost forgot that this is a real world with flesh and blood, and many things may not go according to the plot.

Ultimately, it was the chain reaction caused by this "butterfly" of his.

If she was like the original owner, who had no strength but was full of justice, simple-minded, and unable to adapt, how could she have taken down Esdeath?

Not to mention completely capturing him, at least he wouldn't be forcibly kept under surveillance by Esdeath just because of a difference of opinion.

After spending a short time together, he felt that Esdeath was a very easy person to get along with and talk to.

Except for his somewhat strong personality, everything else is fine.

......

"Master, there is something I want to tell you. I don't know if I should tell you or not."

After the interview, Tatsumi's voice suddenly rang in his head.

"explain."

"You haven't returned for too long, and the mistress couldn't stand it anymore. She tortured me and asked about your whereabouts."

"Did you say that?"

"No, even if I die, I will never betray my master!"

"Okay, tell her I'll be right back."

"Ahem, Master, well...you don't have to come back, the mistress has already gone to find you."

"?"

Tatsumi was a little confused.

How to find him?

How can Esdeath find him in this deep forest?

"Master, this is what happened. The mistress borrowed the cyborg's 'nose' from me. After asking me for information about you to no avail, she found out the direction we left from various sources."

"I didn't expect that the mistress would borrow the 'nose' for this purpose!"

Shi Shang's voice was full of regret, and he thought to himself that he was careless and was tricked by the mistress.

"It's okay. Continue to study the phone and try to make it as quickly as possible."

Tatsumi was not too surprised by Esdeath's actions.

Resourceful and resourceful, it fits her personality very well.

"boom--!"

Just as Tatsumi finished his call with Fashion, a loud noise was heard from outside the house.

The noise was so loud that the earth shook and the three-story wooden villa where he lived was affected by the vibration and shook continuously.

"It's broken. It's coming so fast?"

Thinking to himself, "Oh no!", Tatsumi quickly looked out the window.

I saw a huge and extremely dangerous species landing in front of the house on the flat ground outside the wooden house.

On his back, Esdeath stood with her arms folded across her chest, a sneer on her face, and glanced ahead with an indifferent look.

In front of her, the night raiders came out in full force the moment they heard the noise.

Leone's face was serious and tense, as if facing a formidable enemy. Facing the pressure coming from Esdeath, her whole body couldn't stop shaking.

At this moment, the only thought in my mind is.

"Why is she here?!"
