As the river receded, two disheveled figures were revealed in the jungle.
"Cough cough… what terrifying power!"
"Ha… ha… Taeko, are you alright?"
Recalling the godlike power from just now, Babara still felt lingering fear. Seeing Taeko, who was equally disheveled, not far from her, she immediately asked with a worried expression.
Although she initially only wanted to cultivate an excellent tool, Babara had developed deep feelings for Taeko after living together for so many years. The girl in front of her was like her own child.
"I'm fine."
True to her personality, Taeko still spoke in that indifferent tone, but there was also a hint of concern in her eyes as she looked at Babara.
"It's good that you're alright. This mission has completely failed. That boy is already invincible, no one in this world can assassinate him! I wonder how that idiot Chelsea is doing. After we find her, we'll leave this place immediately."
Living a life of dominance in the assassin world, such an uncombative escape is an absolute disgrace! However, Babara doesn't really care about disgrace; those who have lived to her age have long understood that life is the most precious thing!
Nodding, Taeko naturally had no objections. The two wrung out the water from their bodies, tidied up a little, and immediately took action, their figures disappearing into the jungle.
…
"Hey! Taeko, old woman, where are you?"
Flapping her wings and swinging in the air, Chelsea shouted loudly in all directions.
However, now that she had transformed into a great owl, it was naturally impossible for her to speak human language. Her cries sounded like a night hawk, which would probably scare the daylights out of any night walkers!
"Those two guys aren't dead, are they?"
Although she kept complaining and muttering to herself, Chelsea couldn't believe that Babara and Taeko would die so easily, considering how freakish they were. They must have been washed away by the waves. Although it was exhausting, she had no choice but to keep looking.
"Yo, little bird, good evening!"
Just as Chelsea was shaking her head and looking around for Babara and Taeko, a voice suddenly came from her ear, almost scaring her out of her wits, and all the feathers on her body stood on end!
Mechanically turning her head, when she saw Sora's face smiling at her in the starlight, Chelsea felt like a thunderbolt had struck, leaving her scorched and dizzy.
Her body instinctively flapping its wings desperately, the girl had no time to think about why this terrifying guy was here. Her only thought was to escape, escape, escape, escape!
Well, the result is obvious. If she could still escape in this situation, it would be a miracle!
"Woo… Master, why are you catching this great owl? Is it for supper later?"
Watching Sora, who was holding a large bird in his hand, land on the ground, Akame jumped over. A pair of crimson eyes constantly scanned the great owl that Chelsea had transformed into, and she couldn't help swallowing in anticipation.
Chelsea, who was already on edge, was even more terrified when she heard Akame's voice. For a moment, she struggled desperately and shouted desperately.
Wuwuwu… This young lady still has a lot of life to enjoy, and I don't want to be eaten for supper!
Looking at Akame, who was drooling, Sora was speechless. He knocked Akame's little head hard with one hand:
"You silly girl, girls should eat more vegetables and fruits. Why are you eating meat every day like this!"
Sora thought, this Chelsea is the concubine I've been waiting so long to catch. If anyone's going to eat her, it's me, your master. What are you, a little girl, doing here? Go away, go away!
Looking at Akame hugging her little head in a cute way, Sora couldn't help but smile. This is also one of the reasons why he likes Akame. She is both gentle and cold, and occasionally acts cute like this. She is so adorable!
"Meat is delicious!"
Hearing Sora telling her not to eat meat, Akame refused. She covered the spot on her little head that had been knocked and retorted unhappily.
"Uh, cough cough… Akame, it's not that you can't eat meat. I'll have Martha make it for you when we get home later. But this great owl is a pet that your master caught, so don't secretly roast it and eat it!"
Sora was also a little embarrassed. Akame has the "Luffy" attribute, and it seems a little difficult to ask her not to eat meat.
However, Akame doesn't know that this great owl is Chelsea, and Sora doesn't want to reveal it so quickly. But he is a little worried that this gluttonous girl will take Chelsea to roast without him noticing, so he has to specifically remind her.
Because it was dark before and too far away, Akame only knew that there were three other people hiding behind the Tengu Gang. She glanced at Taeko standing on the bow of the ship, but didn't see Chelsea sitting on the stern soaking her feet.
Reluctantly moving her gaze away, Akame finally nodded with a pout.
Well, although she has been upgraded from supper to pet status, Chelsea doesn't feel happy at all.
Who would be happy to be someone else's pet!
Not daring to reveal her identity, Chelsea was still wondering how to turn into something else and escape when Sora's voice suddenly came from her ear again:
"Hehehe… Little bird, if you dare to escape, I'll immediately let little Akame eat you!"
Looking at Sora's sinister and evil smile, and then looking at the girl called Akame staring at her with an extremely eager gaze, Chelsea couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The only thought that had just arisen disappeared completely…
The person in front of her is the strongest in the empire, known as the Death God General. She was foolishly thinking of escaping from him. How could that be possible?
But, does she really have to be his pet for the rest of her life? Wuwuwu, why is her life so miserable!
Thinking that she would be like this in the future, unable to eat lollipops, unable to drink black tea, unable to enjoy a good life, the girl couldn't help but burst into tears…
Wuwuwu, it's too tragic, it's really too tragic!
"Woo… Master, look, this big bird is crying!"
Looking at the great owl held in Sora's hand with tears in its eyes, Akame said in surprise.
"Hahaha, that's because it knows it's going to be your master's pet, so it's so moved!"
Looking at Chelsea's pitiful appearance, but not daring to change back to her original form and reveal her identity, Sora was very happy. He laughed and put Chelsea on his shoulder.
"Oh, I see!"
Nodding cutely, Akame had an expression of understanding.
Feeling that her life had completely dimmed, not daring to run, the little bird named Chelsea could only stand obediently on Sora's shoulder, crying in her heart why she was so unlucky while cursing these two demons, shedding tears of bitterness…
