Chapter 165 - #164 A proposal (1/2)
---Oarburgh's hideout in the mountains---
”*sigh* It's really boring past few days...” Chelsea muttered with a bored expression while observing Taeko training once again. That is until she heard a loud cry from the Danger Beast that landed not too far away from them.
”Hm? Isn't that- Ah!” Chelsea wanted to approach it but she was suddenly pushed away by Taeko.
”She came from Akashi!” Taeko exclaimed and rushed towards Kiyomi despite almost knocking Chelsea off her balance.
'This girl...All the time she has just stoic expression but when there is a mention of Akashi, she becomes like some love-struck girl' Chelsea thought while glaring at Taeko's back with an irritated expression.
Kiyomi, of course, welcomed Taeko by pressing her head to Taeko's body. Taeko cuddled with her for a moment before noticing the papers fastened to her by the leather belt so she decided to take them and look at them.
”Hmm, looks like we finally have a mission!” Taeko said with a slightly excited expression since even she was feeling extremely bored except for the time when she was training.
”Really? Good! We should go back to inform others!” Chelsea was extremely glad that they finally have something to do, she felt that training was only torture for her.

”Hm...” Mera read the content of the papers and couldn't help but release an excited smile that intrigued everyone else.
”At first, that man hires our loyalty and then he doesn't give us any instructions of what we should do, and when he needs something it's something grand.” Mera said with an irritated tone but a big smile was visible on her face.
”What is it, don't keep us waiting any longer.” Babara urged her while rolling her eyes.
”Impatient, aren't we? Is this because of your advanced age? Anyway, we need to take care of someone who is in possession of Teigu and most likely he is also gathering other Teigu users so it will be quite a challenge...Worthy work for us Oarburgh, wouldn't you say so?” Mera teased Babara a bit before explaining the situation while ŀɨċkɨnġ her lips.
*Smack* ”Finally worthy job, fighting Teigu users will make our name even bigger and more fearsome” Gil said with a slightly crazy smile while bumping her fist into her palm.
”Ugh, where is the location of our target?” Babara ġrȯȧnėd and asked without arguing with Mera.
”The kingdom to the west!” Mera replied with her one eye closed in a playful manner.
”Hm? That's quite a long distance from here...” Chelsea said while her shoulders dropped in disappointment.
”Don't be so unmotivated or I will be forced to give you some motivation if you know what I mean” Mera said while winking at Chelsea who immediately straightened herself.
”No problem here! Full of motivation!” She said while saluting.
”It's not like we don't have any Teigu users, right Taeko?” Mera ignored Chelsea and asked with a teasing smile.
”...Akashi said that I should not consider this a Teigu.” Taeko replied since it was impossible to hide the ability of her new weapon in front of Mera and she was sure that Akashi wouldn't mind it too much.
”Of course, it is a bit weaker in regards to Teigu but to think he would be able to upgrade your weapon like that... I might even say that I slightly envy you and your sėxuȧŀ orientation.” Mera said with a fake sad expression and a playful tone.
”...Anyway, who is the target specifically?” Babara asked after waiting for the awkward air to disappear.
”This man!” *thud* Mera said as she slammed a poster to the table with her hand.
The said man had a very noticeable X-shaped scar on his face and his entire expression was enough to tell others that he is an aggressive type of person.
”Syura, the son of the current Prime Minister!” Mera said while opening her arms wide with an excited smile.
”It's been a while since we received a job regarding the life of someone important from politics.” Babara muttered but it was visible that she was also wearing a bloodthirsty smile. Due to Murasame's poison, she had to rest for a long time without even training and she recovered just recently therefore she was still feeling a bit rusty.
”Who are we sending out for this mission?” Taeko said while tightly gripping her katana.
”Everyone.” Mera replied and shrugged her shoulders when she noticed their bewilderment.
”We have no further information on our targets and we should make sure not to fail this first mission or it will make our employer very disappointed and we don't want that to happen, right Taeko?” Mera explained and asked Taeko who just nodded her head with a stoic expression.
”I will call for Loris and Meela” Babara said while excusing herself.
