Chapter 162 - #161 Talk about the Future. (1/2)

”Why do you want it? Wait, that's a stupid question...What will you do if I won't give it to you?” Akashi asked with a smile before he gestured for the guards to return to their original posts.

They nodded and quietly left without saying anything, Leone looked at them before looking back at Akashi.

”They seem very loyal, you have good people surrounding you!” Leone said with a wide friendly smile.

”Don't try to change the subject and answer the question before I leave...” Akashi said with a tired expression while pointing with his thumb behind him on the street leading towards his mansion.

”Well, I won't do anything but our boss would like to talk to you about something. Would you at least hear us out?” Leone asked with a helpless smile.

”Fine, Kurome, you can go back without me” Akashi said while taking step towards Leone.

”?! But Akashi Nii-sama-” Kurome was surprised by what she just heard, however before she was able to to say anything, Akashi interrupted her.

”This is your punishment, I know you would like to go with me, and while at it, see your sister but today you have acted against my orders and even if you meant well, I can't overlook that.” Akashi stopped and partially turned at Kurome before saying in a stern tone.

”...I- I understand. Please be safe.” Kurome replied while looking down at the ground out of the shame. She didn't wait any longer and left towards the mansion but before she was too far away, she heard Akashi's voice once again.

”That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate the thought. Rest well!”

After Kurome left, Akashi finally approached Leone and Sayo.

”So, where are we going? To your base?” Akashi asked with a sly smile.

”What? Do you actually want to go now?!” Leone sounded surprised.

”Take it or leave it.” Akashi said with his hands in his pockets.

”Ugh, fine...Let's go but we won't be going to our base so you will have to wait until the boss arrives.” Leone ġrȯȧnėd before she replied with a tired expression.

”Fine with me” Akashi replied and the trio went outside the city, arriving at a particular place a few kilometers away from the Capital.

”Please wait here for a bit, Sayo will go inform the boss.” Leone said while sitting down on the boulder and inviting Akashi to sit next to her.

”Wha?! Why me?” Sayo exclaimed with a surprised expression.

”Because I will do my best to entertain Akashi so he won't walk away on us” Leone said while winking at Sayo.

Sayo just sighed before hurriedly leaving the place and entering the forest.

”Won't you sit down?” Leone asked when she noticed that Akashi was still standing in front of her.

”I am comfortable standing right here” Akashi replied with his stoic expression while looking around.

”Are you perhaps cautious that this is all just a trap? Or maybe you are just shy?” Leone asked with a teasing smile while crossing her legs. She also undid her transformation to show that she means nothing bad.

”It's always good to be cautious no matter where you are or whom you are with. And I am definitely not shy, it is called not being horny, if I would have been the other way around, I would have already torn off that cloth covering those brėȧsts that you are pressing together to catch my attention.” Akashi replied with a small smile while looking down at Leone's face as her expression changed.

”Wha-?!” She exclaimed while her cheeks grew a bit red.

”Didn't expect me to be so blunt about it, huh? I am not your average inexperienced boy.” Akashi continued while finally taking a seat next to her.

”Impossible, I can sniff out whether you are some kind of noble constantly fooling around or if you are pure.” Leone said while crossing her arms and turning her head away from Akashi.

”Whoever said that I am fooling around or that I am pure? ...Let's stop this discussion here before it will become too awkward.” Akashi shook his head.

”It will be awkward only if you will make it awkward! Anyway, we have some time to kill so why not talk about meaningless things? I would like to get to know you better since you are the only noble who isn't on our list of targets, also your territory is quite clean and prospering.” Leone said while shrugging her shoulders.

”And to get to know me better you need to know how I sleep with the women? Fine, until now I have slept with only one woman, does that satisfy your curiosity or do I have to also describe my first ɨntėrċȯursė with that woman?” Akashi replied and Leone immediately began looking awkwardly down.

”You are making it awkward...” Akashi continued which made Leone angrily turn at him to which he just shrugged his shoulders.

”How can you be so...shameless?” Leone asked with a confused expression.

”Please...everyone knows how humans reproduce so why should I be shy about it? It's an everyday thing and the entire world partly revolves around the pŀėȧsurė. Women are creatures that can cause wars just because of their appearance, isn't that laughable?” Akashi said with a small smile and Leone couldn't help but agree with him even if she wasn't as open as him about this subject.

They talked for a while before Leone suddenly decided to ask something more serious that's been bugging her for a while.

”Akashi...I can tell that you aren't a bad person but neither you are helping the Revolutionary Army. What is it that you are after?” Leone asked with a completely confused expression.

”I think this is the question that your boss wants to ask me too, isn't that right?” Akashi replied but he wasn't looking exactly at Leone but right in front of him.

Suddenly Najenda walked out of the forest together with all members of the night raid, practically surrounding Akashi. Even Leone was quite confused by this development as she began throwing looks at each of her friends.

However, Akashi didn't mind, his expression never changed as he began looking around with stoic expression.
