Chapter 24

~Tatsumi POV~

When I reached the shopping district, I managed to find my way to the black market. I made sure to wear a mask and cover my hood to hide my appearance as I looked at everything that might catch my attention.

I don't need people lurking around looking for my identity if I want to draw attention to myself that's the last thing I need.

But searching through the black market does have the advantage of having everything a person needs that is too dirty or a very rare item that is hard to find but at a crazy price.

However if I need to find something then I need to check the black channel to find what I need is some information. The information will help me to know at last where exactly I am in the anime or manga story.

As I walked around the place, I saw people with shady characters moving in the shadows or others taking care of their own affairs.

Finding the bar inside I went inside to see the bar was filled with dangerous characters because I could smell the blood in the air and some people. Gotta thank the body control for improving my senses.

Walking over to the bar hostess of the Barmaid establishment that I was following as she looked at me without attention as she spoke, "What can I do for your child? You lost or what?"

Grabbing the gold coins I got from the merchant guild, Barmaid's tone turned into a friendly tone as he asked me directly what I wanted, "Oh? Big spender huh? So, what exactly do you want from this part of the forest? sir?"

Placing a total of five of them on the table wished them enough as this was my first time in a place like this. I asked basically for what I wanted from the beginning to her, "Can you tell me about the new one?

information about what happened in the Empire or what happened about the other Regions?"

It gave me his confused expression as he took out a coin while picking up a cigarette as he started talking to me in a tired tone, "Huh, I'm not sure what you use this info, but payment is payment. .So, listen here brat, I will explain this to you as simply as possible about what is happening around the Empire and I will not repeat it twice."

With that, he began to tell me in detail about what was going on around the Empire and whatever was relevant about it as I paid more coins for his info. I would pay for it just to know more about what is happening around my world and compare it to my knowledge.

The northern region still has their prince in charge so that means Esdeath has yet to defeat the Northern Region so that means the plot has yet to begin, but I am still listening to know more.

Then there was the Southern Region as they faced the current war against the Imperial Central Region. That's something new.

The reason why the Empire declared war on them was basically to acquire more land for their resources but also to obtain more profitable use of the people as slaves. Great I keep forgetting that slaves are something here in the Empire.

But it ignores that it is said that soldiers from the Center have difficulty adapting to the new terrain and diseases in the area and ambushes at night. It sounds pretty accurate to my knowledge as the string man mentioned it to Tatsumi at the point of the anime so it was pretty accurate.

However, it also means that Night Raid has not formed if that is the case then that means I am still in the prequel Akame ga Kill... I'm in Akame ga Kill Zero if that's the case.

From what Barmaid explained it seemed like they had not sent their General to take care of the residents of the Southern Region and said the person in charge of leading the campaign was their General Heart.

Isn't Liver someone who will follow Esdeath's Army in the future but if that's the case then it means I'm far away at the starting point of Akame ga Kill and closer to Akame ga Kill Zero than I thought?

There were also some ridiculous titles thrown in as subordinate to the Heart General who was nicknamed for his participation in the Southern War, the Round of 100 Human Killers himself. But what caught my full attention was that there was mention of him having Teigu.

The Round one who already had this time was Teigu Demon Armor: Incursio.

Oh, this certainly makes my day worthwhile to come to the black market to get this piece of information.

But first I have to see how bad the war is to see if there is any point in going there personally to get that [Incursio]. That person had no idea how dangerous the Tyrant monster was. I want to have his ability and make my own no matter what because I will show the beast that is his boss.

That's when I was reminded of Tyrant who could try

consuming my existence and I have no Murasame to hold on to him.

Hid.

The reality is sometimes disappointing when I have to be reminded of how far away my goal is sometimes.

The only person I know who has Murasame is the leader of Elite Seven and that bastard has experience that I lack to match him. I have a definite power but that damn Teigu stopped my [Aura] in its tracks because I could not maintain the killing effect of his soul if it landed on me just once.

Sighs...

There was no point arguing about what if I would just go ahead and take [Incursio] from Bulat during the war because I knew I could at least fight that person. But his armor using my Teigu would be a big deal.

I can't destroy that damn thing but frankly with [Haki Armament], [Aura], and my [Hasshoken], I can get past the normal defense and look for internal damage. At least I have a chance to fight.

The Western region had nothing but racial problems that happened to their crossbreeding child. But on the contrary, there are no signs of improving but from what Barmaid explains that there may be revolutionary actions that may take action.

Okay, miss them, I already know about it, there's no need for me to lecture on how bad the place is.

After that, he then explained to me that the Imperial Navy was always patrolling the Imperial coast to defend itself from pirates or other national foreign troops passing by sea. I can understand that because they are always surrounded by enemies.

Perhaps I can get a chance to see the Wave before he joins the Imperial Middle Region to see if he has something as valuable as his Teigu otherwise then why bother.

Then there was news circulating that certainly caught my attention again in the Eastern Region when Barmaid spoke, "While it was happening within that region, there was a small problem that had recently occurred. There was news of clowns dressed like clowns going around while spouting nonsense. But from what the grapevine said, it was said that he had a Teigu Orb Type. Some kind of serial killer entertainer."

Teigu Type Orb?

Wait a minute there is only one character that fits that description because I think it is so hateful inside my head because only one bastard deserves my full method of training torture.

Champion bastard rotten bastard pedophile damn it!

Oho!

I know what to do next in the Easter Region before I go to another because I have to make sure I take that fat bastard's head!

The entertainment serial killer is also elusive around the Easter Region and just as his Teigu is unpredictable to fight. It's okay unless you already know what to look out for.

It was all the info Barmaid had for me because it helped me figure out what I should do next and put together some things to do. With that, I gave him an extra silver coin tip for info and he asked to come again for more info business.

At least though I have a general idea of what to do next at least.

...

...

Taking the time to look around the black market, I took the opportunity to see if there were any items worth my time. The items I see useful as well as some weapons to use can make a difference.

Considering that I was planning to take [Incursio] off Round, I think it was time I did some Spearmanship training to get a better grip with the spear. But my main goal is still my sword and my fist.

While I was walking around the area, I happened to see a merchant in the market on the ground with a blanket selling his things as I looked at them.

Oh, now that one will definitely come in handy if I trade with someone who knows its value or get an ally who knows its future users.

Hm...

Giving it to future users will make me like the person when the time comes or when I need something from him. It was also useful to also be used for help or I could see if I could use it.

Looking at it clearly, I smiled happily seeing a certain item was somewhere this close after all near my village house some distance away.

Go in the direction of the merchant I started asking the price of the item I want, “Say the merchant how much do you want to see that belt there? It'll look good for me."

The merchant looked at me while laughing at me but nodded his head as his hands opened as he spoke to me, "Ba! All right then, how about 10 pieces of gold coins then—" -

*Swoosh*

Quickly paying the good merchant, I took the item in my bag while smiling happily at him as I thanked him and left, "Thank you for the purchase! Also, there are no returns!"

Getting this item worth 10 gold coins was expensive but that idiot did not know its true value as I would happily love any weapon of value.

they are moving away carefully but also at a fast pace, I finally managed to escape from there when I looked at a certain belt in awe because I couldn't believe my luck finding this thing before the future user got the chance.

Beast King Transformation: Lionel is a belt-shaped Teigu that transforms its wearer into an animal, instantly increasing one's physical strength and abilities. It also strengthens one's sense of smell to allow scouting.

And now it's in my hands...

Now in my hands, I will find you a future user and give it to him to give me help in the future, or I can make it my own. Two options are just as good for me, but I have to see if I can use this damn thing.

But first dealing with certain fat crap comes next before anything else.
