Hey.
Tatsumi,
it's about time we got going.
We're heading this way.
You should go back.
What are talking about?
The three of us will always be to-
Don't you already have new comrades?
You can't rely on us forever.
See you, Tatsumi.
If there's an afterworld, let's meet there.
W-Wait...
Wait!
Don't...
Don't leave me alone!
What a painful dream.
She's sleeping here...
Seems that starting today, Tatsumi is going to train under me.
Let's get along.
An air-headed superior!
Good morning.
My glasses!
Good morning.

I wonder if it's okay to put Sheele-san in charge.
It'll be fine.
I'm sure Sheele will warm up to him.
What makes you say that?
Tatsumi seems to get along with older women.
Here!
I've got dibs on training him next!
See?
This is also a talent.
What the hell?!
So unfair!
For an assassin,
he's a real lady-killer.
How was that?
It was funny, wasn't it?
I guess not...
I'm thinking of making beef bowl tofu for lunch. What do you think?
Wouldn't it be better to serve the beef bowl and tofu separately?
Sounds good!
I was also thinking of adding a fried chicken topping.
What do you think?
Isn't that a bit heavy?
You don't need even more meat-
Sounds good!
Night Raid women are carnivorous.
You did well to swim in that armour.
It's heavy.
This is really hard.
I came up with this assassin-training curriculum.
Since I don't have any duties at the hideout, I can focus on this.
Why don't you have any duties?
While cooking...
I burned the meat and got the usually cool Akame angry.
The meat...
While cleaning, I made a bigger mess for Bulat-san to clean up.
Don't worry about it!
While shopping, I mistook sugar for salt, and Leone laughed at me.
And such a ridiculous amount!
While doing the laundry...
I accidentally washed Mine with the clothes.
How should I put it?
Don't worry.
Well done on that last one!
By the way, Sheele,
when I met everyone for the first time, you weren't there, were you?
Hmm, I feel like there was a reason...
but I can't remember it.
I see...
I'm sorry for being like th-
My glasses, my glasses...
Why are you in this line of work, Sheele?
I'll start from the beginning.
I grew up in the lower district of the capital.
I've been clumsy at everything ever since I was little.
There wasn't a single thing I was good at.
"She has a screw loose somewhere in her head."
They often made fun of me like that.
However,
even with how I was, I had a friend who accepted me.
No matter how clumsy I was, she never made fun of me.
The time I spent with her was the only time I was truly happy.
Until that day.
I was visiting her as always...
when a man came to look for her.
It was her ex-boyfriend.
He resented her for dumping him...
and began to get violent.
He eventually started to strangle her.
The man was high on drugs.
I thought to myself, "I have to save her."
I was surprisingly calm.
The man died instantly.
She was shaking because of what happened.
My mind, however, was clear.
In the end, the incident was ruled self-defence,
but I haven't seen her ever since.
And then...
A few days later, the man's friends came to get revenge.
"We've already killed your parents. You're next."
Even though they said things like that,
I was surprisingly calm.
With the knife I kept for self-defence, I killed them one after another.
That was when I realised...
that because I have a screw loose in my head,
I have a talent for killing.
I can get rid of society's garbage.
There's finally something I'm good at.
After that, I was working as an assassin in the capital and got scouted by the Revolutionary Army.
Seems that everyone has their circumstances.
I wonder if I can do this.
You'll be fine.
Unlike me, you're good at cooking.
That's what you meant?!
Seems you're doing well, Tatsumi!
Can I really do this?
Tatsumi, your wounds are pretty much healed by now, right?
I want you to try the Teigu we took from Zanku.
For real?
And the others?
It's one Teigu for each person.
That's because it takes a lot of mental and physical strength to control them.
It doesn't look all that cool, but this eye has some nice abilities.
Because there wasn't anything about this Teigu in our books, it's a mystery to us.
It has the ability to read minds, doesn't it?
Try it on me.
You...
You want to eat meat tonight!
It's perfect!
No.
He hasn't activated its ability yet.
I don't want him peeping into my mind.
If it has five abilites, try one of the others instead.
Always complaining.
All right...
Activate one of the abilities I don't know about!
So?
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
What is this awesome ability?!
Teigu are amazing!
This is bad!
He's being rejected!
Take it off quickly.
I suddenly feel tired.
It's the compatibility.
It just didn't suit you.
You must have thought that it looks lame, right?
They say the user's first impression of a Teigu is really important.
We'll send it to the Revolutionary Army's headquarters.
They'll analyse it and put it to good use.
Although we're a team of assassins,
it's our sub-mission to collect Teigu.
If possible, we take them from Teigu users like Zanku.
Worst case, we destroy them.
The more Teigu we have, the stronger the Revolutionary Army gets, right?
That's right.
You should read this book about Teigu.
Amazing.
There are so many.
This is just one part of them?
Make sure to remember the Teigu that are described there.
By the way, which one is the strongest Teigu?
That depends on usage and compatibility.
But if I had to say...
The ice manipulation Teigu.
That's what I believe.
Fortunately, its user isn't in the capital at the moment.
She's busy conquering the northern races.
Northern races?
Hero of the north, Numa Seika.
Prince of the northern races.
He has never lost a battle with his spear in hand.
A brilliant strategist in whom the northern races put their faith.
He's a threat to the empire.
His powerful army uses their most fortified city as its base.
They've gotten strong enough to invade the empire.
That's why, in order to prevent an invasion,
the empire dispatched a squad to conquer them.
There's no need to worry.
Even if it's that woman, it'll take her at least a year to conquer them.
You're right.
The stronger, the better!
We're collecting Teigu, after all!
You're in a rather good mood.
What happened all of a sudden?
There are still many Teigu with unknown abilities, right?
That's when it occurred to me.
Having seen only few of those abilities...
Maybe...
Just maybe...
There might be a Teigu that can revive the dead!
Isn't that right?
I might be able to revive Sayo and Ieyasu!
That's why I'll keep collecting Teigu-
You can't.
Aniki?
Even Teigu can't revive the dead.
You only get one life.
You can't know that...
if you don't search for it!
The first emperor is evidence of it.
If Teigu like that existed, he'd still be alive.
He knew he couldn't live forever, that's why he had the Teigu made.
Give up.
This weakness of your heart will be used against you otherwise,
and you'll die.
You're still up, Tatsumi?
The thought that I might be able to revive them made me happy.
Even if the possibility was small, I still had hope.
But now it really is farewell for good.
I should have given up, but...
I...
Tatsumi...
I'll keep this a secret from the others,
so cry as much as you want.
Is this okay?
For my superior to be so kind?
Who knows?
It should be fine.
Probably.
That's just like you, Sheele.
Thank you, Sheele.
Thank you too, Tatsumi.
Thanks to you, I've found another thing I'm good at.
The northern races were conquered in the blink of an eye.
As expected of you, General Esdeath.
And this is supposed to be the so called hero of the north?
How boring.
Die.
Is there no enemy out there that can satisfy me?
The slums sure are lively.
It's the spirit of the poor.
If you're born into poverty, you learn to get stronger.
Hello, Leone.
Come massage my shoulders again, okay?
Let's drink tonight, Leone.
Leone! Let's play!
You're really popular here.
I was born and raised here, after all.
I made a name for myself around here as a masseuse-
There she is! It's Leone!
I'll make you pay your debt!
Crap!
It's time to settle your gambling debts!
Hey!
Return the money you scammed off my brother!
What do you think?
Isn't it an interesting place?
I'm worried you might end up getting killed!
I have news to report.
General Nakakido and General Hemi have both left...
to join the rebel army.
The military genius, General Nakakido has...
The rebel army is getting stronger at a frightening rate.
If we don't deal with this quickly, the empire will...
Don't panic!
They are down in the south!
We can deal with them at any time!
The more rebels they gather, the more we can get rid of in one go!
Isn't that right, Minister?
As expected of you, your Majesty.
You're the calm incarnate.
Instead of some distant rebels,
we should focus on the enemy close to us.
Ogre of the imperial guard,
my relative Iyokaru,
and even Zanku the Beheader...
were all killed by Night Raid, and they even stole one of our Teigu!
They're doing whatever they want!
I'm so sad I'm gaining weight!
I've sent word for General Esdeath to return.
B-But Great General Budo is in charge of the capital!
Dealing with meagre rebels would hurt the Great General's pride, wouldn't it?
Esdeath, huh?
She's a hero who rivals even the Great General Budo.
I'm relived.
She's the ice-woman who buried over 400,000 northerners alive.
This is no longer a question of life or death!
She'll hunt them down and send them to hell!
This should be far enough to lose them.
Right, Nee-san?
Eh?
Oh?
Nee-san?
Crap.
We're separated!
And I have no idea where I am!
There's a response on my justice radar!
Hey, you over there!
Can I help you with something?
Those clothes...
I'm Seryu from the imperial guard!
A warrior of justice!
Guard...
Are you hungry, Koro?
Be a bit more patient, okay?
Um...
What's that?
The Teigu Hecatoncheir.
Don't worry.
He's harmlessness to those who aren't evil.
He was in the book.
By the way, did you need something?
Oh, well... I got lost somehow.
But I do know the name of the place I was in earlier.
That's a big problem!
I'll take you there on my patrol!
This way!
Please don't get separated from me, okay?
Do all the imperial guards have these?
No way.
I'm the only one with this Teigu.
Koro...
Oh, that's the name I gave him.
He won't even move if he doesn't like his user.
None of the higher-ups were compatible with him,
so even we lower ranks were tested.
That was when he reacted to the justice in my heart.
That's why he's my partner now.
Right, Koro?
O-Oh...
Um, I think this is the place you mentioned.
Thank you very much!
Don't mention it!
Please call me if you find any evil!
We'll annihilate it for you!
That's reassuring!
Let's go, Koro.
You're hungry, aren't you?
How about five death-row prisoners?
An imperial guard with a Teigu, huh?
She seems dangerous.
I have to report this to the boss.
Helping people is important,
but I have to hurry up and find Night Raid!
Captain Ogre...
Nice attack, Seryu.
You've gotten stronger, haven't you?
Such a difficult Teigu chose me,
I must become stronger!
Justice shall never yield to evil!
That's what my father who was killed in the line of duty said!
If you want to get stronger that badly,
I can offer you a trump card.
Really?
I know a doctor who wants to do an experiment.
It's incredibly painful, though.
I don't mind!
I'll do anything if it helps me defeat evil!
The evil that killed my mentor, Captain Ogre!
Night Raid, I'll never forgive you!
