The Boundless Journey, Starting From Bofuri

"Although dealing with the merchant Jawanle is easy, Ogre is a formidable opponent. His swordsmanship makes many enemies tremble with fear. Ogre usually has many subordinates with him and is rarely alone. He is also a very cautious and careful person."

"He usually calls Jawanle to his room to receive bribes. During his leisure time, he drinks in the bustling streets near the palace." Leone said earnestly.

"So, even when he’s not on duty, having Akame, who is wanted, appear near the heavily guarded palace area is dangerous." Hearing her words, Najenda frowned and spoke.

"Me, me! I’m not wanted yet. The stronger the enemy, the more excited I get!" Leone said excitedly.

"No, how about waiting until Mine and the others return?" Akame glanced at the excited Leone and spoke directly.

"No need. Leave that person to me. Cooking every day like this, I don’t want to actually become a chef." Hearing that everyone seemed to have completely forgotten about him, Takeru spoke helplessly.

"No! What if you encounter danger?" Hearing Takeru’s words, Leone spoke anxiously.

Akame and Najenda nodded in strong agreement. It wasn’t that they thought Takeru’s abilities were insufficient, but that his abilities were too precious. Leone, on the other hand, didn’t want Takeru to take risks.

"Say no more. If I can’t even deal with an opponent of this level, then what’s the point of me staying here? And what I said before would also become laughable." Hearing everyone’s words, Takeru spoke directly.

"Well said, Takeru!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Leone hugged him again.

"In that case, I’ll respect your wishes, Takeru. Dealing with Ogre is entrusted to you." Seeing the determination in Takeru’s eyes, Najenda also spoke seriously.

She also understood that although they were worried about Takeru, not letting him go on missions was impossible. After all, they were an assassination group, not simply a revolutionary army.

"The oil merchant will be handled by Akame and Leone." Najenda spoke again.

"Understood." Hearing this, Akame nodded silently, her eyes frequently glancing at Takeru, filled with worry.

After a few days of getting along, she had also developed significant feelings for Takeru. His doting gaze made her feel somewhat flustered.

Thinking that Takeru might face danger made her chest feel heavy and uncomfortable, similar to when she was forced to separate from her sister.

Afterwards, she took Takeru around the bustling streets to familiarize him with the terrain.

"Takeru, have you memorized the map?" Leone was also giving Takeru instructions.

"Already memorized." As for Takeru, he nodded lightly. In fact, with his Observation Haki active, everything here was revealed to his senses.

"That’s good. Nothing else is important. You must come back alive." Before parting, Leone spoke with a trace of reluctance.

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely return unharmed." Hearing Leone’s repeated reminders, Takeru felt both amused and a warmth in his heart.

As night fell, in an extremely luxurious area, Jawanle, who had just used the restroom, encountered an attack by Leone and Akame.

Under their combined assault, Jawanle, being an ordinary person, couldn’t even cry out before Akame delivered the killing blow.

"Next, I wonder how Takeru, who’s dealing with the formidable opponent, is doing." After swiftly killing Jawanle, Leone spoke softly.

Simultaneously, in the bustling streets, Ogre, having just finished drinking, was preparing to return to his residence.

"Ah, the wine after thoroughly interrogating prisoners is truly delicious!" Ogre, with a fierce appearance, said with a tipsy smile.

As he passed by Takeru, Takeru quickly struck. Two Nen Needles directly hit Ogre, his eyes instantly turning vacant.

"Ogre-sama, there’s something I need to discuss with you. Please come with me." Seeing Ogre’s vacant gaze, Takeru spoke softly.

Then, Takeru walked towards a small, deserted alley, soon reaching an uninhabited area. Takeru stopped.

Taking out Twilight Moon, he gave a light swing towards Ogre’s head. His head flew off.

After completing this, Takeru simply flicked the blood off the blade. Then, after searching his body and taking a large bag of gold coins, he left the scene.

There was no tense confrontation, no flashy battle. Everything seemed to happen so naturally. After all, their strengths were not on the same level, and Takeru’s special abilities far surpassed this world.

Although many Teigu in this world were quite peculiar, the limitation of each person only being able to use one Teigu meant Takeru’s strength was essentially unmatched in this world.

Heading directly towards headquarters, before long, Takeru had returned to the Night Raid’s base. Leone and Akame had also returned before Takeru.

Seeing Takeru return safely, Leone sighed in relief.

"Target eliminated via decapitation in a deserted street. His body will likely be discovered tomorrow morning." Looking at Najenda, Takeru directly reported on the mission.

"Dealing with a formidable opponent, well done. You did excellently." Hearing Takeru’s words, Najenda nodded with a smile.

"As promised, I returned safely." Looking at the worried Akame and Leone, Takeru said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Akame came over and pulled open Takeru’s shirt. Sensing her action, Takeru was stunned.

"What are you doing?" Takeru looked at Akame in confusion.

"Leone, Boss, hold him down!" Facing Takeru’s confusion, Akame still didn’t explain and even called out to Leone and Najenda.

Takeru, worried about exposing his strength, didn’t resist much. Then, Akame even pulled down Takeru’s pants and carefully inspected him.

Even Leone, seeing Takeru’s physique, had shining eyes and kept touching him all over.

Seeing Leone’s actions, Takeru rolled his eyes, stopping her movements. Leone pouted at Takeru, but her eyes never left Takeru’s perfect physique.

"That’s great!" After confirming Takeru had no signs of injury, Akame revealed a sincere smile. Facing Akame at this moment, Takeru was also momentarily stunned.

"I’ve seen partners who stubbornly didn’t report injuries and died from poisoning. That you’re unhurt is better than anything. The mortality rate for first solo missions is very high. Congratulations on overcoming this hurdle." Akame continued.

"Silly, I have healing and purification abilities. If injured or poisoned, I can quickly fix it." Hearing her words, Takeru said with amusement, ’viciously’ ruffling her long hair.

For some reason, Takeru seemed to enjoy patting girls’ heads, perhaps because he was used to patting Miu’s head... like Ui’s...

However, facing Takeru’s ’maltreatment’, Akame not only didn’t escape but, like a kitten being petted, unconsciously revealed a comfortable expression.

"Hey, I want some too!" Seeing Akame’s enjoyment, Leone hugged Takeru and even pushed her head towards him.

But facing Leone’s action, Takeru simply flicked her forehead. "Let me go first, you female pervert!"

"Ah, no, no! This is favoritism!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Leone said unhappily.

"Fine." Seeing this, Takeru had no choice but to place his other hand on her golden short hair and give it a few rubs...

Najenda, watching this warm scene, revealed a gentle smile but thought helplessly, ’If only ordinary people in this world could live peacefully like this...’

"Oh, right. For the next phase, Takeru, you will follow Mine for training." Suddenly, Najenda seemed to remember something and spoke directly to Takeru.

"Alright, I understand." Hearing her words, Takeru nodded calmly.
