Chapter 95 - #94 "Night Ambush" (1/2)
When we left Bolic's mansion...
”How are you? Do you think I should have killed him?” I asked while glancing at Taeko who was quiet for some time.
”I am fine, no, I am feeling great. And I think that what you did was right. After all, there is no need to create any more trouble here when we came here with the intention of selling a few things.” Taeko replied with a bright smile.

'Hihi, I could feel his burning rage when that guy wanted to keep me there, even though he quickly masked it, I was still close enough to detect it for a second before it disappeared.' Taeko thought with a happy smile while looking at Akashi's calm expression with slightly flushed cheeks.

Well, looks like I won't have to incubate those eggs I left within him. I will simply let them inside him for some time if by any chance I decided to kill him. But even those eggs will be able to remain there only for a specific time until they disintegrate.
As for how I planted them inside him...It was the moment when my blade slashed his flash. Just before I castrate him, I ordered my Wrigglers to plant a few eggs on the blade of my sword and it looks like none of those Rakshasa Demons noticed it.
As for their fighting power...They are definitely close to Teigu users considering that they had yet to use any of their special body manipulations. That Ibara guy was also quite tough, to be able to stand up after receiving my casual punch empowered with [Overwhelm]. Not bad at all, however, their teamwork was disastrous compared to those kids Gozuki trained.
Final conclusion...If I go all out, I have no problem annihilating them all by myself, so they don't pose any threat to me.
”Akashi...” Taeko dragged me out of my thoughts by calling my name in low voice.
”...I know” I glanced behind us with narrowed eyes before I continued walking through the streets.
I already suspected them to send someone to follow us since they must be wondering what I am doing here and who is Taeko. I can't let them see her face, I have no idea if Gozuki spread portraits of Taeko's and Babara's faces but I don't want to take any risks.
But this one must be from Rakshasa Demons considering their ability to hide their presence. And judging from the feeling I am getting...I would have guessed that it's Suzuka. I keep having a feeling as if someone was looking at my back with hungry eyes. It's quite an uncomfortable feeling.
*Sigh* I still want to sell those things and also walk around without keeping an eye out on a spy.
I thought and decided on the next course of actions.
”Taeko, would you mind if I...” I started explaining my plan to her and she kept nodding with a stoic expression.
”I don't mind at all” Taeko replied with an honest smile.
”Alright, then let's go buy some freshly baked bread and a few more things for camping in the outskirts of the town.” I suggested and Taeko just nodded her head with a smile.

---At night, outskirts of the town---
'This is slightly boring, I was hyped up for something interesting but it looks like Akashi came here just to walk around and look around the entire town. He is behaving more like a tourist. Good thing that observing his every movement isn't boring at all or I might have left already.' Suzuka thought while peeking behind the large boulder at the campfire around hundred meters away from her. She was currently observing Akashi who had his hood down and another cloaked figure of a woman sitting near the campfire.
'?! They are both going to sleep?' Suzuka's bored expression suddenly changed to astonished one when she saw Akashi putting out the fire and both of them going to sleep.
'Hmm...This could be a good opportunity to find out who that woman is but...' Suzuka thought and her thoughts were frozen when her eyes landed on Akashi's face. She remembered the sight of him cutting ruthlessly enemies and she immediately blushed.
'Fuck that woman, might as well make Mez jealous with my story.' Suzuka thought with a naughty smile.
After another hour passed by, she finally arrived at Akashi's small camp.
'They have two tents which must mean that woman doesn't have an intimate relationship with Akashi. Anyway, his tent should be right on my left.' Suzuka thought with an excited smile as she slowly approached the tent.
She was very careful with hiding her presence since even though she was experienced in this, any experienced ȧssassin can wake up just by feeling a bit of killing intent or hostile aura around them. One can't truly hide those auras, a person can only limit them but an ȧssassin no matter how experienced won't be able to sneak up on another experienced ȧssassin...unless...That person has absolutely no hostile intentions at all and is extremely experienced in hiding their presence.
Suzuka slowly entered Akashi's tent.
'?! ...He looks so innocent when he is asleep! It really makes me want to eat him whole.' Suzuka immediately blushed when she saw Akashi's sleeping face since it was the most innocent thing she has ever seen in her life. Despite Akashi's usually cold nature, the only thing that could make him form an innocent smile was always a bed, before he joined that organization or even after joining it. This has never left him and despite not lying on the bed, sleeping is still sleeping and he already learned how to appreciate even mother nature's ground as a bed.
'Fuu, I need to be quick' Suzuka deeply inhaled and then exhaled with a serious expression.
”Hop!” She suddenly said in a low voice and jumped on top sleeping Akashi.
