In the mountains on the northern outskirts of the Imperial City, a golden-haired figure quickly passed through the trees and rushed to the valley.
"Everyone, I've returned from the Imperial Capital to gather information!”Leona skillfully passed through the emperor relic traps that Lubbock had set up around the night raid. Before she arrived, she shouted at the base on the hillside.
"Leona, you must be lying! What did he say about gathering information? He must have drunk in the Imperial City's tavern for the whole day! I wonder which unlucky country bumpkin paid for your drink this time!”" Boss!" A pink twintailed little head popped out from the door of the base built on the mountainside. She looked at Leona who was running up the mountain and shouted," Boss and Instructor Babla are coming back today. Hurry up and wash the smell of alcohol off your body!"”
Leona had already reached the entrance. When she passed by the girl with pink ponytails, she paused. Oh my god, Instructor Barbara is also coming back today? Mayne, I didn't drink today ~ I was going to cheat a rich man from the countryside for some gold coins, but unfortunately, he's not easy to fool today, so…"She shrugged at Mayne with a helpless expression." No one paid for my drinks today."”
"Leona, it's better not to do such immoral things!”
Mayne, the self-proclaimed genius shooter with two ponytails. He came from the western border of the empire and was a mixed-blood of a minority race. Because of her background, she had always been bullied, so she had developed a strong and proud personality. It was dug up by Nagata in the Imperial Capital and unexpectedly matched with the Romance Cannon. Hence, Nagata's Romance Cannon changed owners…
As for the problem of Nagata's Emperor relic, would the BOSS still need to charge forward like a soldier?
" Don't worry, don't worry. This is an important lesson for outsiders to learn about the rules of survival in the Imperial Capital. Of course, I have to collect some tuition fees." Leona walked through the door and saw a familiar figure exercising in the courtyard, sweating profusely.
"Brand, you're still so hardworking ~" Leona greeted Brand, who was doing push-ups hard.
"1998…1999…2000…It's Leona. She didn't drink today. Did she know that the Boss and Instructor Babla were coming back?”Brand had just finished the required push-ups. He stood up and wiped his bare upper body with a towel.
"Well, there are all kinds of reasons!”Leona avoided the topic."Lubbock's not back yet? Where are Hill and Scarlet Eye?"
"Scheer is reading in his room, and Scarlet Eye seems to be grilling fish by the stream. As for Lubbock, he usually comes back later than you!”Brand then walked towards the weapons rack in the courtyard. He was about to start the next round of training. As a former general of the Empire's army, Brand had always been very disciplined and trained hard. This was different from the other members of the Night Raid in terms of mindset and habits. After all, the others were just civilians before joining the Night Raid. Naturally, they would not be as disciplined as the soldiers.
Brand was undoubtedly a big brother in any aspect of the night raid! Well…although the awakening of a hobby is very strange ~ I'm GAY…
"Wow, you're really energetic!" Leona murmured to herself as she watched Brand leave. Then, she pulled Marin along and ran out." Let's go, Marin. Scarlet Eye Grilled Fish is really delicious. We can't miss it!"”Amidst the shouting, the two of them quickly ran in Chi Tong's direction.
At night, all the members of the night raid gathered in the hall.
"Are you sure Boss is coming back tonight?”Lubbock spun the thread in his hand in boredom. This was not an ordinary thread, but an imperial relic. Ever-changing (Cross Tail), a tough thread-like emperor relic.
As the son of a great merchant in the empire, although he was usually very frivolous, he was unexpectedly devoted to Nagata. He was a lone warrior that no one understood…Actually, this was because in the plot, he was captured and tortured inhumanely. The result of the interrogation was that his balls were removed…
Lubbock's Thearch Relic could also be used as a defensive perception and to set up traps. The Night Raid Base was also surrounded. As long as someone came, they would definitely not be able to escape his perception, so he knew best if anyone came! However, in his Thearch Relic perception, there was not even a rabbit, let alone Rena Zeta and Barbara.
However, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from the base gate.
Everyone looked at Lubbock and immediately became alert. Brand stood at the main entrance of the hall, while Scarlet Eye and Leona stood in front of Mayn. Lubbock stood in the shadow on Mayn's left, and Hill stood beside Scarlet Eye with a pair of scissors in hand.
"Eh, is everyone welcoming us so warmly?”It was Nagata who entered.
“BOSS？”X6。
Babla walked in as well.
Scarlet Eye's grip on Murasame's hand tightened as she stared at Babla with her bright red eyes. She recalled the deaths of Naharshu, Guy, and Grimm.
"Eh, is this the newcomer who joined Night Raid? Nagata, I have to say that your ability is really not bad!”Babla clearly recognized this former member of the elite seven-man team. She turned to look at the tachi in Chi Tong's hand. Little girl, this saber suits you very well!" Barbara had experienced Scarlet Eye's saber techniques before. Although they were still a little immature, they had already reached a certain level.
Instructor Barbara knows Chi Tong?" Nagata looked at them in confusion.
"Yes, we had a fight a few days ago. If it wasn't for Xia You, I would have died at the hands of the previous master!”
"Well, although we might already know each other, let's introduce ourselves here!”Nagata said to Scarlet Eye, Barbara, and Tsubo Chelsea.
"This is one of the members of the former Empire's assassination elite team of seven. He was summoned to join the night raid a few days ago.”
"This is the assassination instructor of the night raid, the master of the Assassin Society, Barbara Oberg! The two behind her were Instructor Barbara's disciples, Taeko and Chelsea. They were all members of the Night Raid. In the future, everyone must support each other!”
Chi Tong looked at Babla silently, then bowed." Instructor Babla, I'm the newcomer to Night Raid, Chi Tong. Nice to meet you!"”
Babla smiled and nodded. Taeko and Chelsea also went up to greet Scarlet Eye.
Although the others didn't know the reason, they roughly understood that Scarlet Eye and Barbara might have had some minor conflicts, but they didn't mention them. In the past, they had been on different sides, but now that everyone was on the same side, they believed that even if there was any unhappiness, it would be smoothed over by time.
Then, Lubbock raised a question that he was very concerned about." Boss, why didn't my relic call the police when you guys were already at the door?”
"This is what I got from my return to the Revolutionaries.”
There was a huge bat-like flying dangerous species parked outside the base.
"I see. It seems that we can't underestimate the vigilance in the air in the future!”Lubbock relaxed.
"Alright, in order to celebrate Instructor Barbara's return, I've specially prepared a lot of food. Let's have a meal together tonight!”Nagata patted the bags on the back of the dangerous aerial bats.
" Yay!" Everyone cheered as they carried the food down.
"What are you thinking about?" While everyone happily gathered around the bonfire to barbecue and drink, Chi Tong quietly hugged Murasame and sat on the steps to the side, watching everyone. This was definitely rare for Chi Tong, who was extremely obsessed with food.
"Are you thinking of your former companions?”Barbara sat down beside Chi Tong.
"Yes, Nahashi, Guy, Grimm…they're all dead! That night." Chi Tong lowered his head.”
Barbara looked at her approvingly." To an assassin, the accumulation of hatred is meaningless, because we are just 'knife'. If I was killed by you that day and my disciples met you here today, I believe they wouldn't blame you. However, if they really wanted to find a target to hate, they could only blame this rotten empire! In order to prevent these tragedies from happening again, we should all work harder! Although I feel sorry for your former companion, I still won't apologize to you! I hope you can understand." Babla patted Chi Tong on the shoulder before walking toward the crowd.
Chi Tong sighed softly.
Soon, the food was ready. Taeko walked over with a plate and handed it to Akira." Erm…Akira, how's Corneria?"”Taeko asked Chi Tong in embarrassment.
Even though they were clearly enemies, they were still good friends.
"Yes, I was still in the capital before I came for the night raid.”Scarlet Eye took the plate of roasted meat and felt disappointed when she heard Taeko's question." I just don't know if my betrayal will implicate them!"”
"I see. Let's go to the capital to investigate in a few days. We have a deputy chief undercover in the garrison. I believe he will have a way to investigate!”" Besides, they might not be implicated. Don't worry," Taeko consoled Scarlet Eye." If it really doesn't work out, we'll save them and join us!"”
Chi Tong nodded, but she smiled bitterly in her heart. She had already invited them before she left, but unfortunately, no one was willing to join the Revolutionary Army with her. They had all been brainwashed by the dynasty! He could only hope that they were doing well in Hillford!
"Chi Tong, quickly come over and roast the fish. There's still a lot of roasted meat here!”Leona called out to Chi Tong happily by the fire.
"Then, let's go together!" Taeko pulled Scarlet Eye toward the bonfire." Well, well. Although we had a fight a few days ago, we're now companions, aren't we?!" Let's not dwell on the past. " Right now, Scarlet Eye, you're a companion that all of us acknowledge!" Taeko said seriously to Scarlet Eye.
Companion…?
Yes, companions!
Scarlet Eye looked at Leona who was fooling around with Mayne, Hill who was still trying her best to read the book " 100 Ways to Correct a Natural Idiot " under the light of the fire, Brand who was drinking with Lubbock, Chelsea who had turned into a cat with Gaia Foundation and snatched the roasted meat from Babla's plate, Taeko who was holding her hand and walking towards the crowd, and Najeta who was sitting quietly by the side and watching the crowd play and laugh…These people would be companions in the future!
The corners of Chi Tong's mouth finally curled up.

Seriously, the weather is so cold that I want to hibernate…
He originally wanted to count this chapter as two chapters, but then he remembered that there was no protagonist in this chapter, so there was another chapter later.
