When I returned from the kitchen to Najenda's room, I found a naked sleeping girl, and after all, I wanted her to have a snack, so we continued.

≪That's what a harem is for, when you're tired alone and you still want more.≫

Well, I'll leave my breakfast on the table, and I'll go to the capital to work a little and improve my artefacts. While walking through the city, I heard a news that someone is going around at night and beheading people and guards... and there are no leaflets on the corpses, so these rumours are not about me or the Night Raid. Today they found a few corpses around the capital with their heads cut off, apparently a new maniac with a beheading fetish has shown up, I'll have to look for him.

No one came to the smithy by lunchtime, so I closed it and went to the plateau near the capital to chop up some Ents for firewood, and maybe some animals for meat, Akame will be glad to eat an extra centner of meat. I made an artefact axe and an artefact butcher knife for chopping firewood and cutting meat. They can be considered quite strong Shingu, which easily allow you to chop thick and strong materials, but I use them for such trivial purposes, since I make axes and knives for others, why not make one for myself.

On the plateau in addition to all sorts of Ents, there were quite a lot of different lizard-like beasts, all of them were like a selection of huge, and from their skins turned out a good leather armour, I rivet such for sale.

When after the hunt I decided to return to the Night Raid base, I ran near a village where I noticed Shelly walking around, and suddenly she ran towards two guys who were holding a little girl against the grass, with obvious dirty intentions.

- What are you doing, Shelly? - I approached this group.

- Making the world a cleaner place. - Shelly answered, snapping the neck of one guy, and killing the other with a dagger in the back, 'They wanted to do a lot of bad things to that girl. - Shelly pointed at the girl, who had a small scar on the bridge of her nose, and judging by her blurred pupils, her eyes were damaged somehow, and now she could see very badly.

- What happened? These guys promised to escort me to the capital to see my father, but then they started giggling and threw me to the ground. - said a girl about twelve years old.

- It's okay, I've already dealt with them. - Shelly replied, and wanted to get closer to the girl, but she tripped on a rock and fell ridiculously close to the girl.

- I'll pretend like I didn't see you just tackle two grown guys in a couple of seconds and then stumble over a rock. - I gave Shelly a hand and lifted the blind girl off the ground.

- Who are you? - The girl asked, looking in our direction, but her eyes were not on our faces.

- I'm Shelly, and this is Gin, we're from Noch....

- Shelly! - I shouted, because she was about to tell her and my biography, -And now let's find out who you are?

- I am Niya, I come from Ann village, my father works in the capital. - answered the girl.

- And your mother? - Shelly asked.

- We... we were robbed recently, my mum was killed and when I wanted to stop the killer, he slashed me in the face and now I can't see anything. I went to the capital to fetch my father to tell him. - Nia replied sadly and Shelly put her arms around her and began to stroke her soothingly.

- Yeah, what am I going to do with her? I can restore her sight, but finding her father in a city of several million people is not a quick task.

- We'll take her back to the base with us! - Shelly said confidently, hugging Nia.

- Do you think Najenda will welcome our guest? - I asked, and saw Shelly's threatening look, -Okay, it's already evening anyway, and it's too late to look for someone.

- Thanks, Gin. - Shelly took Nia in her arms and carried her to the Night Raid base.

Upon arriving at the base, Shelly immediately showed Nia to Najenda and told her story.

- Shelly, are you out of your mind? Maybe this Niya is an Imperial spy, Akame was once a child in the service of the Empire too. And you, Gin, couldn't you talk some sense into Shelly? - Najenda, who was now wearing a lush dress that hid the way she walked strangely after spending the night with me, looked at me.

- I was passing by there in general, just coming back from hunting.

- Did you get any meat! - Akame turned to me.

- Yeah, yeah, I killed some huge lizards.

- Oh, so we're having vegetable stew for dinner tonight. Will you help me in the kitchen? - Akame asked, who could then spend less time cooking and more time eating the food being prepared.

- I will. Anyway, you guys take care of this, and Akame and I will go.

- Well, Shelly, what am I supposed to do with you? - Najenda gave the girl a stern look.

- Punish her, I can help you with that. - said my schizophrenia, taking control of my body for a moment.

- That is if she misbehaves again. Let's keep Nia for now, check her story, Leone will try to find her father tomorrow, just tomorrow and you'll take the new order too. - Najenda replied.

While cooking, Akame looked at me with some kind of expectation most of the time.

- What do you want, Akame?

- Give me that delicious meat, will you? - she made a pitying face.

- I thought you were going to ask about me and Najenda, but you're talking about meat as usual. - Akame fried a steak made of super-class monster meat, and after eating it quickly, she looked at the pots and at me with a sad look, 'Wait for dinner, Akame.

- I will. - She lowered her head sadly.

Shelly was taking care of Nie at dinner, spoon-feeding her, while Mein, who was Shelly's best friend, watched with great jealousy, even sleeping in the same bed, but now Shelly had decided to sleep with Nie, and Mein was even more offended. I could restore Niya's sight, but then she'd be able to remember the faces of all the Night Raid members, where only Akame, Bulat and Najenda are wanted by the Empire, and the rest of the squad can walk around the capital as they are not recognised as Night Raid members. Nia, on the other hand, may be blabbing too much.

The Night Raid had no work to do tonight, and I wanted to go look for a maniac who kills people at night, but I decided to do it tomorrow, because I had more interesting things to do in Najenda's bedroom tonight.

- My tiger, maybe today you will not be so furious, because after you it is difficult for me not only to work, but even to walk. - Najenda unbuttoned the skirt of her dress.

- I can promise you that I'll treat you after I'm done ramming your hot, tight cave. - I kissed the girl and pulled her close, exploring her gorgeous body with my hands.

This time we were also overheard while Najenda and I were resting, and this time I wanted to enjoy the girl even more, so I tried harder than before. Her cries of pleasure could be heard from the other end of the castle, and yet I overdid it, and after a few hours Najenda passed out, and I wanted more, I even thought of bringing Leone here to continue, but I decided that good things must be in moderation, and so I just fell asleep in the arms of the beautiful girl.

Leone took an elimination mission the next day, but before she kills someone, Night Raid checks the target, at the same time she gave her informants the task of finding Nia's father, whom she described in detail.

When I arrived at Night Raid's base from the capital after lunch, I saw Akame fencing with Najenda.

- I decided to train my right arm, and I need to get back in shape, so I'm not an invalid and can fight for the revolution now, not just sit around smoking and giving orders,' Najenda said. - Actually, I used to wield a Maine Pumpkin, but frankly, this Teigu is much better suited to Maine than it is to me... damn, my arm is so weak and slow, but I need to use it more often... hmm, Gin, I have an idea for this evening. - Najenda pointed at me.

Akame was now fighting with a regular sword, not Murasama, and although Najenda could tell that it wasn't her first time holding a sword, it was immediately obvious that regular swordsmanship wasn't her strong suit.

- Najenda, I can make weapons like Shingu and Teigu, so I can make something for you. - I offered.

- Well, it would be nice if you could make me something to strengthen my right arm, some kind of shooting Teigu, only one-handed, and I could also make a sword... or a whip, while I had a prosthesis, I learnt to use my fist on the rope. - Najenda said as she continued her training with Akame.

- Well, order accepted, you will pay for it at night. - I continued to watch the two girls, while writing down my ideas in my notebook, or rather I found a couple of ready-made ones and tweaked them a bit. I could make Najenda some armour like mine, but I like Najenda, but I don't love her, and there's a chance she might betray me, so I can't provide her with the coolest toys, but I can provide her with artifacts with the same power as Teig of the Night Raid.

I started with a bracelet on my right arm that could encase my entire arm in an armoured reinforcing wristband that would give Najenda the ability to shatter rocks with a single blow. As designed, the bracelet would deploy depending on the power required. At maximum power, it would be even larger than Najenda's last prosthetic. It took me about a week to make, and when it was ready, we went with Najenda to the plateau for her to try it out. The prosthesis also created an energy field around the body, which, in addition to protecting the body, also served as a reinforcing framework for the body itself, so that the physical body would not be injured when the maximum power of the wristband was used.

When Najenda destroyed an entire hill with a right hand strike, a disgruntled twenty metre long earth dragon with very tough scales emerged, which Najenda destroyed with a second right hand strike, along with the earth dragon's head.

- Not bad, this thing is not inferior in strength to some Teigu. Gin, thank you... but since 'thank you' isn't enough, I can also offer you a blowjob right here and now. Are you okay? - The girl asked me, unbuttoning her sweatshirt and releasing her breasts.

- It's a pleasure to do business with you. - I started to unzip my trousers, it wasn't the best place for debauchery, but after seeing Najenda's bust, it would be hard to go anywhere else.

I hadn't had a blow job from Najenda yet, I had enough of her pussy and I left her mouth for kissing, but if she wanted to thank me in this way I didn't mind. Although, one blowjob was not enough for me, and after I gave the girl my milk, I took care of her pussy, which I also gave her milk.

By dinner time we returned to the base, where Leone told us that after a week of searching she had found Nia's father, who worked as a carpenter, and Leone also told us about the purpose of the order.

- Tonto, a souvenir merchant, appeared in the capital not so long ago and opened a fairly successful shop where he sells a variety of valuable items. He seems to be a law-abiding guy, pays taxes, even sometimes donates money to charity, but everything is not as rosy as he wants to show. Tonto comes from the south, where there's been a wave of violent robberies with murder victims, one victim survived and ordered Tonto's elimination from us. All of Tonto's merchandise is what he stole from his victims, but still, I have only circumstantial evidence of his guilt. - Leone said, laying out Tonto's photo on the table, a description of him, a description of where he'd been, and a list of the items in his shop, so the Night Raid spies had a lot of information on him.

- Listen, Nia, your village was in the south, too. Do you remember what your mother's killer looked like when he robbed you? - I asked.

- I... I don't remember exactly, if I saw him, I would remember for sure. - replied the girl who was sitting in Shelly's arms.

- Maybe we can put on masks, I'll restore Nia's sight, and we can show her Tonto's picture, then we'll know for sure he's guilty. - I suggested.

- Yeah, let's finally cure Nia. - Shelly said, pulling the girl tighter against her.

- Okay, but everyone cover your faces so she won't recognise us later, we'll return her to her father tonight anyway, and if Tonto is really guilty of Nia's mother's death, we can eliminate him right away. - Najenda replied. While the members of the Night Raid were disguising themselves, I summoned my armour, with a face mask and hood, and began to treat the girl's eyes, it was not necessary to rebuild the eye from scratch, as in Najenda's case, but only to remove the leucoma from the cornea and cure a small cataract of the lens of the eye, all this appeared after the damage to the eye, in my world even ordinary doctors could cure it.

Twenty minutes and the girl could see, and she saw a bunch of weirdos hiding their faces, Shelly didn't care at all and put a panty on her head, judging by the size, it was Maine's panties.

- You're all so weird. - Nia blinked, looking at us.

- I do, look at this picture. - I gave her the sheet with Tonto's picture on it.

- He looks like the guy who robbed us, except he didn't have glasses and a moustache. - she looked at the photo.

- Well, it's as easy to put on glasses as it is to grow a moustache. Once we're sure Tonto's guilty, we gotta take him down.

- I'll do it! - Shelly raised her hand.

- Then I'll take the girl to her father. - said Leone.

- I'll come with you too, because there's been a maniac in the capital lately. I've tried to find him a couple of times, but he's been on holiday from his maniacal activities these days.

- Oh, yes, I heard about a maniac who cuts off the heads of his victims, we have already been ordered to eliminate him, we are collecting information about him now. - Leone added.

Leone knocked on Nia's father's door at night and handed him the girl who told him about her mother's fate and how she got here, Shelly was happy for the girl, but she was sad that she couldn't be near Nia who she had grown attached to.

- Well, they still had a good ending, let's go kill Tonto now. - I said as I hugged Shelly, who was almost crying at being separated from her friend.

- Yeah, let's go. - She took my cloak and wiped her tears with it, even blowing her nose in it, and then went to Tonto's shop.

- Shelly's Shelly. - Leone said with a chuckle as she looked at my cloak.

Tonto, the target we had to eliminate, looked like a hippie, his hair was long, his eyes red from smoking weed were hidden by round glasses, his face was thickly vegetated, and like all hippies Tonto liked to take a good whiff, which is what we caught him doing. Shelly cut half of Tonto's head at eye level, so our victim fell to the floor with a joint in his teeth and half his skull missing.

After that, we still tried to spot a head chopping maniac in the capital, but we came across four old men beating up men, women and children. When the three of us saw this, we immediately intervened.

These four old men were very strong, three of them were strong swordsmen on Akame's level, and one was a big burly man who specialised in hand-to-hand combat. Shelly and Leone were nearly killed by these old grey-haired farts, so I took care of them, using one of the advanced features in my armour - I had huge mechanical arms behind my back that were faster and stronger than my real ones, controlled by a second consciousness, while I was trying to shoot these four grey-haired geezers. I managed to shoot them with a bit of luck, having grabbed them with my extra hands beforehand.

As Leone found out later, the four of them were called the Grey Brow Association, a group of retired former military and assassins of the Empire. They were all around seventy years old, but they didn't want to just retire, so they became hired killers, and even if no one paid them, they just killed people. They had been killers all their lives, and taking the lives of others had become the meaning of their fading lives. Among these four, there was Bulat's teacher, who was the previous owner of Incursio.

What can I say, the capital is a very friendly place, even pensioners here want to kill you.
