Akame ga Kill: Starting with Dual Kamui-Chapter 105: Tiger Mask

After devouring the drug dealer, Koro reverted to its usual adorable appearance.

The scene had left a deep impression on both Mine and Sheele.

"This... That's not an ordinary Danger Beast, is it?" Mine couldn't help but ask Seryu.

"You're right, but Koro isn't a Danger Beast. It's a Biological Teigu," Seryu replied with a smile.

...

Mine suddenly felt that the girl before her, along with that Biological Teigu, was terrifying. The contrast between their appearance in battle and their usual demeanor was like night and day.

She had heard of Biological Teigu before, but this was the first time she had seen one in person.

"Our mission is complete. You two should be heading back soon, right?" Sheele asked Blayn.

"There's no rush to return just yet. That guy mentioned Bull earlier, and I think we need to deal with him too," Blayn said.

In truth, he had already gathered information about Bull from members of the Akatsuki Organization. His questioning of the drug dealer was just to confirm the details.

The Bull that the dealer spoke of matched what Blayn had learned—an official under Minister Honest who abused his power to shield drug dealers. His rank wasn't low either.

Blayn planned to use this man to publicly reveal the existence of the Akatsuki Organization.

With that in mind, he casually pulled out a stack of leaflets and scattered them on the ground. Each black leaflet bore a red "Fire Cloud" emblem with the character "Akatsuki" in the center.

"What's this? Your organization's symbol?" Mine asked curiously, picking up a leaflet. "Akatsuki? So that's your group's name?"

"That's right," Blayn nodded.

"I see... Well, I still think 'Night Raid' sounds way better," Mine remarked.

Blayn didn't bother responding to that.

"You're going after Bul now?" Sheele asked.

"Yeah. If we don't eliminate him, the drug smuggling problem won't be solved at its root," Blayn replied.

"Then... if it's okay, I'd like to help," Sheele offered.

Blayn and Kurome had helped Night Raid before, and she wanted to return the favor.

More than that, she was always willing to lend a hand where she could. After all, fighting was the only thing she was good at.

"Of course. You're more than welcome," Blayn said without hesitation.

Sheele smiled warmly.

"Sheele, wait—what about me?" Mine suddenly felt lost as Sheele made plans to go with Blayn and the others.

"You can come with us, or you can head back first," Sheele said to Mine.

"I... Fine, I'll begrudgingly help out," Mine muttered.

Just as she spoke, her gaze accidentally met Blayn's. She quickly looked away with a huff. "But don't get the wrong idea! I just don't want to leave Sheele alone—it's not like I actually want to help you or anything."

"?" Blayn blinked in mild confusion. "I know..."

Not wasting any more time, he shifted back to the main issue. "Let's move now before word of this spreads."

"Hm." Seryu and Kurome nodded, immediately falling in behind Blayn.

Mine and Sheele followed closely after them.

...

Blayn had already gathered intelligence on Bull's whereabouts long ago.

Before long, they arrived at Bull's lavish mansion.

Inside the grand hall, Bull was in the middle of a business discussion.

"There are Shingu users and Imperial Fist Temple masters among his bodyguards. Stay alert. I'll move in and capture him alive," Blayn instructed the group beside him.

After they nodded in acknowledgment, he sprang into action.

Activating the Dōjutsu "Double Kamui" once again, Blayn instantly teleported to a position directly behind Bull, who was within his line of sight.

Bull was deep in conversation with a drug dealer, negotiating percentages for smuggling operations—specifically, the cut he demanded as a "protection fee."

"Huh? Lord Bull, when did someone appear behind you?"

The drug dealer sitting across from Bull suddenly noticed the figure—an ominous presence clad in unusual attire, wearing an orange tiger-skin mask.

"...What?"

Bull was momentarily stunned, unable to process what was being said.

The moment he started to turn his head, Blayn struck.

The masked figure was, of course, Blayn himself, and his waist was adorned with the long blade known as the Crimson Night Blade.

Under the cover of night, the Crimson Night Blade's effects significantly amplified his abilities—nothing but advantages, no drawbacks.

With a swift motion, Blayn grabbed Bull by the back of the neck and slammed his face down onto the table.

Boom!

The impact was so forceful that the table caved in beneath him. Although Bull's face was buried in the wreckage, there was no doubt that it had been mangled beyond recognition.

Blayn aimed to capture him alive, not kill him immediately.

So, he held back—at least for now—and shifted his focus.

"A-Agh!!"

The drug dealer, stunned by the sudden attack, took a moment to process the scene before screaming in panic.

However, before he could even finish, Blayn—moving with ghostly speed—grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground.

Blayn had restrained his strength somewhat, as he still had use for the dealer.

But restrained didn't mean weak. The moment the dealer hit the ground, the back of his head smacked against the floor with enough force to knock him unconscious instantly.

Clicking his tongue, Blayn glanced at the unmoving body. "Tch, maybe I overdid it a little. Let's hope this guy's got a tough skull and doesn't die just yet."

The commotion inside quickly alerted the guards outside. Between the loud crash and the screams, they wasted no time reacting.

However, most of them were distracted by the simultaneous assault from Kurome and the other three women, leaving only the nearest guards to rush into the hall.

"Who the hell are you?! Release Lord Bull this instant!"

The lead guard barked at the masked intruder.

In the dimly lit hall, the tiger-skin mask radiated a far more menacing and oppressive aura than a plain white mask would.

Just standing there, Blayn's presence alone sent a chill down the guards' spines. Many hesitated, cold sweat forming on their brows.

Seeing their hesitation, the captain's face twisted in rage. "What the hell are you idiots waiting for?! Get him! If anything happens to Lord Bull, none of you will leave here alive!"

Shaken by the command, the guards had no choice but to push their fear aside and charge toward the masked intruder.
