On the Jaegers' training ground, a great battle was currently taking place.
And the main characters of the great battle were three people: Kaede, Tatsumi, and Wave.
Actually, it was Wave and Tatsumi teaming up to attack Kaede at this moment; after all, the difference in strength was too great.
But looking at Kaede, she was still very relaxed, not even drawing her sword, just playing around with the two armored people on the side, remaining in an invincible position.
"Ha!" At this moment, Wave couldn't help but punch towards Kaede.
"Oh?" Kaede looked at Wave, and then felt that it was time for this battle to end. She didn't dodge and similarly swung a punch out.
"Bang!" The result was surprising: Kaede only took a step or two back, while Wave was sent flying.
However, if you looked closely, cracks had actually appeared on the ground beneath the two of them. You have to know that this was a training ground, and the solidity of the ground was quite high, but even so, cracks had appeared.
One could imagine the great power of the two people's clash.
However, Kaede's movements didn't stop there. Looking at Tatsumi, who was wearing the Stomach-Churning Demon next to her, a smile appeared on Kaede's lips, and she rushed forward.
When it was two people, they still weren't a threat to Kaede, so when it was just one, it was like autumn leaves falling in the wind; Tatsumi didn't last long before being taken out.
"So, you two are still too green," Kaede said, looking at Wave and Tatsumi lying in front of her.
As she spoke, Kaede walked over to Koujo Shizuka. At this moment, Run, Kurome, and Boros were also there.
Run was smiling, but his eyes showed surprise, "Is this the strength of the empires strongest?"
"No, the General is just too monstrous. The Grand Chariot I was wearing was completely outmatched in terms of strength," Wave groaned as he stood up and couldn't help but say.
"Hmm, that's true," Kaede nodded. Ever since the second blood sacrifice, she felt she was becoming more and more like a humanoid demon dragon.
"But, in the end, it's still that we are too weak," Tatsumi stood up at this moment without making excuses. He was shocked by the fact that he was blown away with Wave.
"Hmm." This time Wave didn't refute anything, killing intent appeared in his eyes, "It's just too weak. Stylish and Nyau both died at the hands of Night Raid." Wave clenched his fists.
"That's not your fault. It's because those two wanted to show off. They clearly discovered the base of Night Raid but didn't say anything, which ultimately led to their deaths," Kaede also knew about this matter.
"But, it really is that we are too weak!" Tatsumi still said. He often came to the Jaegers, and because the two generals had a good relationship, Tatsumi felt that they and the Jaegers were like a family.
Also, there was a good opponent here. Over time, Tatsumi became familiar with everyone in the Jaegers.
"Right, your strength is too weak. My sister is just that strong!" At this moment, Kurome jumped out with a face full of pride.
"..." Suddenly, a group of people were speechless.
"You!" Kaede rubbed Kurome's little head, smiling without knowing what to say, feeling a little happy inside.
"Wave! Grand Chariot!"
"Tatsumi! Stomach-Churning Demon!"
Stimulated by Kurome's words, the two looked at each other, then transformed again and fought together again.
"This is great, they're going to fight until dark again," Boros on the side couldn't help but say. They were already used to the setting that these two would fight for half a day.
At this moment, the door was opened again.
"Boros." As the voice came, Boros was startled. He turned around and looked at the mother and daughter who walked over, "Oh! Why are you here again?"
"Came to bring you food," the woman smiled gently.
"Daddy, hug!" The Little Loli had already run to Boros's side, opening her arms.
"Okay, okay~" Boros picked up the Little Loli in his arms with one hand.
At this moment, the people around all had smiles on their faces, and they were smiling so softly.
"Hmm, is it time to eat?" Only then did Kaede notice the time.
"Seems so." Koujo Shizuka had only been paying attention to the General's battle and forgot the time, "Really, I've been too negligent!"
Koujo Shizuka was a bit annoyed, as cooking was her duty.
"Hmm, don't say that. Let's eat here today," Kaede thought for a moment and said to Kurome, "Kurome, go call Nahash and the others. I'll go find Esdeath."
"Eh?" Kurome blinked. She didn't want to be separated from her sister! Then Kurome saw Run next to her, then smiled and stared at Run.
"Okay, I understand." Run, who was being stared at by Kurome, also understood what Kurome wanted to say. He said it directly before Kurome could speak, but the helplessness on his face was obvious.
"Then, I'll leave it to you!" Kurome put her hands together and squinted her eyes.
"Hmm." Run shrugged, and a hint of warmth appeared in his eyes. It was great to be able to join the Jaegers.
"You!" Kaede poked Kurome's forehead helplessly, and said, "Follow me."
"Big Sister, we'll wait for you here!" At this moment, the Little Loli said to Kaede and Kurome in Boros's arms!
"Hmm!" After hearing the Little Loli's words, Kurome couldn't help but rush over and rub the Little Loli's cheek. She was just too cute. Then Kurome took out snacks from her snack bag and handed them to the Little Loli.
"Thank you, Big Sister!" The Little Loli squinted her eyes as if she had found a treasure.
"Kurome, it's about to be time to eat. It's not good to spoil her like this," Mio said from the side.
"It's okay, girls have another stomach for snacks," Kurome said indifferently. Besides, her snacks could only be shared with her sister and the Little Loli in front of her!
"Then I'll go cook," Koujo Shizuka said from the side.
"Hmm." Mio thought for a moment, and finally put away the boxed lunch in her hand, then said, "I'll go help too. With so many people, you won't be able to handle it alone."
"Okay." Koujo Shizuka didn't refuse.
"Um, I..." Originally Boros also wanted to say something.
"You stay here and watch the child," Mio said, looking at Boros with a smile.
"Okay, okay." Suddenly, Boros said directly.
"Mm hehehe!" The Little Loli couldn't help but laugh happily when she saw this familiar scene.
And the two people fighting in the field also heard the silver bell-like laughter filling the room, and the battle slowly stopped.
"We'll decide the winner next time!" Both of them made the decision at the same time.
Kaede and Kurome didn't go far before they met Esdeath, who had returned from the palace.
"Is anything the matter?" Kaede asked, looking at Esdeath's expression.
"Hmm." Esdeath nodded, "It's nothing major."
"Then don't be in a hurry to talk about it. Everyone will be coming over today, and Boros's family is here too," Kaede said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Esdeath was stunned, the expression on her face softened a lot, and she nodded, "Then, let's go back like this."
"Hmm."
When the three returned, they saw a group of people already sitting at the dining table.
"Hi! General, Kurome, we were just waiting for you!" The people in front of the dining table all said to the three who entered.
"Hmm, we're here."
Recently, the area around the Imperial Capital has not been very peaceful.
Danger Beasts that appeared from nowhere began to ravage the area around the Imperial Capital, and there were a large number of them.
It makes one wonder, where did they come from? And it's very likely they are man-made Danger Beasts.
Esdeath was called to the palace this time because of this matter. Originally, Esdeath planned to take action upon returning, but encountered that scene, so she couldn't take action no matter how you look at it.
So, after eating, Esdeath explained this mission.
Kaede and Esdeath came to a mountaintop.
According to the Soldiers' investigation, this should be the main area where those Danger Beasts appeared. As for why they came to the mountain top, it was because the view here was wider, making it easier to observe.
"This doesn't look like a place where a large number of Danger Beasts appear," Kaede frowned, looking around.
"Yeah, with so many Danger Beasts, the food here is not enough to support their survival," Esdeath also discovered this point.
"Hmm?" Kaede's ears suddenly moved, and she took a throwing knife from her waist.
The next moment, the throwing knife silently streaked across the night sky.
Blood splattered.
But when Kaede wanted to move, she found that light began to flicker under her and Esdeath's feet.
"This is?" Kaede was stunned. The next moment, Kaede and Esdeath disappeared from the spot.
"Tch, as expected of the empires strongest, they were able to discover me," a person wearing a cloak walked out from the shadows, and at this moment, he was holding his injured arm.
"However, since both of the empires strongest have come, I should report the situation to the Minister."
...
Kaede opened her eyes, but was stunned because they were now facing the sea, and most importantly, it was clearly night before, why did it become daytime?
"This seems to be a small island," Esdeath said, observing the surroundings at this moment.
"A small island? Transmitted here?" Kaede frowned, "Transmission, Teigu, Shangri-La."
"Hmm? You know quite a lot about Teigu," Esdeath looked at Kaede with some surprise.
"I come from the assassination squad, and even Teigu Users are within my scope of assassination, so I know about any Teigu that can be found in the records," Kaede glanced at Esdeath, then looked at the surrounding environment, "Now we should think about how to go back."
"That's true, but..." Esdeath said, looking at Kaede.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't you think this is destined by heaven?" Esdeath squinted her eyes, "The two of us are together."
"What do you mean?" Kaede felt that she didn't quite understand Esdeath's words.
"I love you," Esdeath said directly, "So I want you to be mine!"
"..." Kaede was silent. She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and even her thinking paused. What was she saying? Why didn't she understand?
"Hey!" Esdeath didn't hear Kaede's reply. When she looked, she found a blush on Kaede's face. Suddenly, Esdeath's eyes lit up. This was the first time she had seen Kaede like this!
"Whew! What are you talking nonsense about? Let's go," Kaede shook her head vigorously, glared at Esdeath, and then walked in front as if fleeing. If you ignore the fact that even her ears were red.
She was actually confessed to! This was the first time she had been confessed to. With Asuna, they had naturally come together, and neither had confessed to the other.
So, this was the first time in the true sense. Suddenly, Kaede's mood was a bit messy, and the object of the confession was Esdeath.
Actually, Kaede didn't hate her. Previously, Esdeath had helped her and sparred with her. Her current strength was partly due to Esdeath, and in terms of strength, Esdeath was also impeccable.
Hmm, what should she do? Kaede didn't quite understand, so she ran away.
"Eh? Was I rejected?" Esdeath didn't quite understand either. Seeing Kaede's reaction, she couldn't help but think. Then Esdeath smiled and said, "It's okay. Boros said that if you like someone, you must be persistent and keep chasing. Boros said that he also failed two or three times before he caught up with his wife. So, I can't give up either."
"Why did Boros tell you these things!" Kaede felt that her current situation was a bit strange, and she even felt a bit dizzy in her head.
"Bang!" However, at this moment, several huge humanoid Danger Beasts suddenly appeared from the nearby sea.
If anyone had seen Stylish's masterpieces, they would know that the appearance of this Danger Beast was Stylish's masterpiece.
"..." Kaede heard the sound and saw the Danger Beast. The expression on her face was instantly replaced by calmness, and the blush had gradually faded.
"Tch!" Esdeath gritted her teeth, turned around, and looked at the giant Danger Beast. The killing intent in her eyes was obvious. How dare it destroy the beautiful scenery in her eyes! It was truly unforgivable!
Without saying anything to Kaede, Esdeath launched an attack.
Right from the start, it was a huge ice pillar that directly pierced the giant Danger Beast, and then several ice cones began to pierce continuously.
"Just kill it directly," Kaede said from the side. She had always been a one-hit-kill, didn't like to torture people, and valued efficiency.
"Alright." Although a bit dissatisfied, Esdeath nodded. With a wave of her hand, an ice cone instantly pierced the little person on the forehead of the giant Danger Beast.
With their strength at this level, such weaknesses could almost be seen instantly.
Esdeath, who killed the giant Danger Beast, looked at Kaede as if she wanted to say something, but Kaede didn't give Esdeath this opportunity again and walked directly into the forest behind.
"Tch! It's all because of this spoiler!" Esdeath looked at the fallen Danger Beast with dissatisfaction. Another huge ice pillar fell from the sky and smashed onto the already dead Danger Beast.
"Hmm." Suddenly, Esdeath tapped her head, "Should I try to force it..."
After thinking for a long time, Esdeath shook her head, "Forget it, a twisted melon is not sweet."
"Hurry up and follow!"
At this moment, Kaede's voice came from the forest.
"Coming." Without thinking too much, Esdeath followed.
"This is?" Walking to Kaede's side, looking at the corpse of the Danger Beast under her feet, Esdeath frowned.
"Hmm, it's the same as the Danger Beast that appeared near the Imperial Capital," Kaede smiled, "It seems the culprit is that Teigu User."
"..." Esdeath's face changed, and she seemed to have thought of something.
"What, do you know?" Kaede looked at Esdeath.
"I'm not sure." Esdeath shook her head and looked at the sky.
"It should... be someone from the Minister's side."
However, Esdeath didn't say it, but looked at Kaede, "Then what should we do next?"
"Hmm, that Teigu User will definitely continue to release Danger Beasts. We just need to go back to the original place. However," Kaede smiled, "The first thing to do is to clear up the Danger Beasts here. After all, it would be troublesome if they run to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital~"
To be honest, although she didn't want to see blood, Kaede had felt itchy recently. Fighting with Tatsumi and Wave couldn't let her go all out. Now, even if she had to endure the aftereffects, she wanted to have a good time once.
"Oh, then let's do that." Esdeath nodded.
Kaede also noticed that Esdeath seemed a bit off, appearing somewhat distracted, but Kaede didn't say anything. She didn't know how to answer Esdeath's question yet, so she didn't dare to take the initiative to speak to her...
Thus, the two the empires strongest began to clear out the Danger Beast on this isolated island, and they did so at a very fast speed.
By nightfall, the two returned to the place where they had been teleported.
Soon, a beam of light appeared there as expected.
In an instant, Kaede and Esdeath rushed into it, and when they opened their eyes again, they were back on the original mountaintop.
"I'm heading back first." Esdeath didn't say anything else and left alone.
"Oh." Kaede nodded; indeed, Esdeath knew something.
However, Kaede was not worried that Esdeath would be too greatly affected. Why? Because her name was Esdeath.
