Chapter 355 Assassin's Guild - Wife Party
Upon discovering that the person who suddenly appeared in the hot spring was the boy from their distant memories, the assassin girls laid down their weapons, but they still did not approach Broly easily.
"Be careful, this might be an illusion created by the enemy. Let me use the [Observer] to take a closer look."
As Akame said this, she put the Teigu that looked like a third eye on her head and looked at the Saiyan boy in the hot spring.
"Hmm, it has a tail, the tail moves, and the muscle definition throughout its body is fantastic..."
Akame muttered to herself, while Kurome summarized what she had to say.
"This is Brother Broly."
"Weren't you spending all your time enjoying yourself in Sakura and Tohsaka's world? Why did you suddenly appear here without a word?"
Upon seeing the Saiyan boy she hadn't seen in a long time, Mine was quite excited and had a lot to say, but in the end, she simply raised her smooth chin and spoke to the boy sarcastically in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Something happened over there, so I left that world early. After returning to Planet Wanpa, I came here immediately because it was something I had promised."
To be honest, for Broly, who was trying to accumulate happiness points in hopes of upgrading his Crystal Palace to LV5 and then building his inner space without meeting a new wife, it was a losing proposition.
"Sigh, at least you still care about us..."
Mine couldn't stay proud any longer. Her face flushed, she poked her little feet out and prepared to go into the hot spring pool.
"Broly, I've missed you so much! Come here, let me see how much you've grown!"
Compared to Mine's coyness, Esdeath was more straightforward, and the ice spikes that had been suspended in mid-air shot towards the boy without hesitation.
Naked, she leaped high into the air and launched a flying kick at the boy in the hot spring.
*Smack!*
Broly casually shattered the ice spikes that were coming at him, then turned to the side to dodge Esdeath's flying kick. Just as the girl grabbed his shoulder and was about to use her strength to deliver a knee strike to his temple, Broly stepped forward first and used his usual massage technique on the now-grown body in front of him.
The electric shock-like sensation left Esdeath somewhat powerless. If this were a real enemy, she certainly wouldn't mind biting her tongue to counteract the tingling sensation with pain. But this was her master, so she helplessly fell into the boy's hands.
The attack had turned into a hug; the petite boy embraced her naked body.
"Esdeath, it's been a long time. You seem much colder."
Broly could sense that this was not a normal person's temperature, but rather at least five or six degrees lower than a normal person's body temperature.
"I drank too much Demon Essence, which made my body temperature lower than normal. That's why I always like to be near things with heat. I heard you slept with other women in other worlds. Sleep with me tonight, so you can see if you like my developing body."
At this point, Esdeath paused, then added, "Or, if you prefer it faster, right here, in front of everyone, examine my body."
"it is good."
Broly didn't understand the implied meaning of "examining the body," and assumed it meant a real examination of the girl's body. So he sat down in the hot spring with Esdeath in his arms and began to examine the girl's body.
After a thorough examination, Broly found no problems with Esdeath's body other than a low body temperature, and among the girls around her, her aura was the strongest.
"Esdece, you're fine. I'll teach you a set of Qi-training fist techniques later, and that will be even better."
Broly released the girl, who was slightly out of breath from the physical examination, and spoke to her as she lay in the hot spring pool.
"The Qi-training fist technique, is that the one you taught Ilya and the others? By the way, Broly, aren't you going to continue?"
"That's it, keep going, keep going what?"
Broly looked at her with some confusion.
"Of course, eat me here."
Esdeath spoke as she spread her arms toward the boy, her legs forming an M shape, as if to say, "My humble door is now open for you."
"Aaaaaah, Esdeath, how could you run away like that?!"
Mine couldn't stand it anymore and swam over to try and stop the situation from escalating further, but Hanbing appeared in the hot spring pool first and blocked her way.
"Hey, don't put ice in the hot spring pool, it'll lower the water temperature."
Kuroko started to complain.
"I think it's alright, but the water temperature in this hot spring pool is a bit too high."
Red eyes are the way.
"I don't eat people."
Just as Mine was throwing her little fists at the icy wall, the boy on the other side frowned and refused Esdeath's offer.
"And I won't allow you to give it to anyone else. You're my wife, you should take good care of your body and not do anything to harm it."
The Saiyan boy, with a stern face, began to lecture Esdeath, seemingly trying to correct the icy girl's mistaken idea of harming herself.
Esdeath: "..."
Somewhat speechless, he sat up from the hot spring pool.
"When I say 'eat,' I don't mean actually eating."
She explained.
"Um?"
Broly looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I thought you had grown to the point where you could 'eat people,' or even that you had completely devoured Tohsaka and the others, but I never expected this..."
The ice wall shattered, and Mine swam over. Esdeath turned to the pink-haired girl: "Looks like we're lucky. Broly's virginity hasn't been taken by Tohsaka and the others yet. Mine, are you in such a hurry to come over because you want to take it away?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just here to stop you from doing something weird to Broly."
Mine blushed slightly and immediately denied it.
"Oh, so Esdeath, you want my first time. But I've already promised Fujimura-nee that I would give her my first time when I grow up."
Having been taught about physiology in the previous world, Broly finally understood what Esdeath meant by "cannibalism," and answered her question.
"Um?!"
Esdeath squinted at him, and Mine glared back at him.
The atmosphere in the hot spring pool gradually became subtle.
"Sister, is virginity really that important?"
The woman with dark eyes, standing at the edge of the hot spring pool, asked her older sister, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know, but Mine and Esdeath seem to care a lot about it, so it must be important."
Akame answered.
"Should we take Broly's virginity?"
Black Eyes looked at the boy in the pool and asked again.
"Let's be more considerate; harmony among teammates is the most important thing."
Akame thought for a moment and then answered.
"oh."
Black Eyes withdrew his gaze.
"Are there only four of you here? Where are the others?"
Broly asked questions.
"Broly, you should know what we're doing right now, right?"
Mine didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"Yes, I understand. To establish a peaceful region in the Western Territory with the blade of assassination."
Broly nodded in response.
"Yes, in the name of assassins, we have ordered the administrators and nobles of the major cities and villages in the Western Territory not to harm the people under their jurisdiction under any pretext. But there are always people who violate this prohibition, especially this time, someone deliberately provoked this inviolable prohibition in various parts of the Western Territory..."
Esdeath continued the conversation.
"Therefore, I will lead a separate team to execute the offenders in the northwest of the western border, while Merard will lead a team to deal with the offenders in the southeast."
I'm personally quite strong, so I only have three people with me: Akame, Kurome, and Mine. Melard is weaker, so I sent more people to follow her.
Esdeath smiled as she spoke.
The way Merad was treated as the weakling by her, yet unable to refute her expression, was quite amusing.
"Right now, Hill, Leona, Bonnie, Lausanne, Cornelia, and the others are all in the southeast of the Western Territory, following Merard in executing outlaws, and they are not with us."
Mine added.
Broly left Mine and the others at the Assassin's Guild headquarters, but he didn't intend for them to become assassins.
Esdeath was the only one who initially chose to become an assassin; she didn't like the peaceful life of an ordinary person.
However, in this chaotic world, many injustices are happening. When the wives of the party happen to go out to buy supplies, they witness some of the injustices in the outside world. As wives of the party who possess Teigu (power), they inevitably act impulsively and fight against some of the injustices.
Later, after discussing it, they realized that being a wage earner couldn't change the terrible living conditions in the world, so they all switched careers and became assassins in an assassin society.
However, unlike assassins from assassin societies who kill anyone for money, Akame and her group of wives became assassins simply to change their terrible living conditions and the injustices they could see.
Simply put, they killed for the sake of justice.
Of course, normally speaking, such an extremely naive idea is likely to lead to destruction in this chaotic world.
The problem is that Akame and her group were selected by the Imperial intelligence agency as high-quality assassin children, children with the talent to be assassins.
Furthermore, the Imperial Arms and Imperial Arms that Broly looted from the Imperial Treasury before leaving are all on them, as is Esdeath, a top-tier combatant (the girl who drinks the Demon Essence obtained through the Crystal Palace panel).
This led to the fact that the wives' party's idea of becoming assassins for justice actually succeeded, thus splitting the Western Regions' government, but they themselves did not control the Western Regions' government, but rather acted as a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of every powerful official in the Great Western Regions.
As soon as they hear of someone harming civilians and the investigation confirms it, they will disregard the armed forces of that person and slaughter them.
They plundered the wealth of those who exploited the people as payment for their assassinations, and would also return a portion of that wealth to the exploited people. As a result, they were a powerful and influential armed force in the Western Regions, and enjoyed great prestige.
The once infamous assassin society has been affectionately known as the "Just Assassin Alliance" by the people of the West because of the emergence of the "wife party".
Their power was not weakened by ceasing to take on unjust assassination missions; on the contrary, their great popularity among the people attracted many capable righteous people to join them.
Of course, there were also ideological conflicts between the old and new assassins during this period, but just by looking at the fact that the current leader of the Assassin's Guild is Melard and the deputy leader is Esdeath, and that the leader has a pretty good relationship with his wife and they can even sleep in the same room, you can tell that some veteran assassins who did not want to change their assassination philosophy have been optimized out of the Assassin's Guild in advance.
Well, two years have passed since this happened. The grass on those people's graves is at least two meters high, if not three.
Broly had already taken off his clothes and was giving the girls a bath while listening to them recount the various things they had done in this world after he left.
"Brother Broly, did you know that a Saiyan cult has appeared in Katish? The pope leader is Batunan, who is considered an ally of our Assassin's Guild and has secretly provided us with money on several occasions?"
There's also Bosil, the city of slaves. That city now connects the central and western parts of the empire and is the largest area for normal trade. Under the leadership of Qasim Thrace, the former false marquis, it has become very prosperous. Green is now the scribe of that city.
From the city lord down to the commoners who had been freed from slavery, everyone in that city was our supporter, and they even erected a statue of you in the city.
"Brother Broly, do you remember the J&T Merchant Guild?"
"Remember."
Broly nodded.
"That merchant guild from the southern border of the empire is now our Assassin's Guild's largest supplier of supplies, providing us with food, medicine, and weapons."
The practice of the Wives Party directly setting moral rules for the Western Regions, while attracting the hostility of a large number of people whose vested interests were harmed, also received strong support from some benefactors and chambers of commerce that intended to get involved in foreign trade in the Western Regions.
Of course, with the empire above them, these merchants wouldn't dare to openly help them, but they certainly had the guts to deliberately let random people rob them of supplies in the wilderness.
While the happiness level of the people in the Westerlands has generally increased and the number of bandits has decreased, these people still account for nearly a quarter of the cases of raiding in the Westerlands.
"The large influx of contraband in the Western Territory is a scheme orchestrated by the Empire because it could no longer tolerate the low tax revenue collection in the region..."
Seeking advancement in the morning and seeking alliances in the evening, even the wealthy are finding it difficult to survive these days.
Open the door early to pay homage to the righteous, and all, young and old, will be delighted.
Slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare wine and food, open the gates of wealth to welcome righteous men, and when righteous men arrive, there will be no harsh taxes.
Amidst the slaughter by the wives' faction, a clever little devil emerged from among the city's terrified administrators.
Rather than extorting money from ordinary people to pay the high taxes imposed by the central empire, only to be killed by assassins from the Assassin Guild's wives' faction, it would be better to hand over the money earned from normal tax collection to the Assassin Guild and seek their protection.
After one city administrator did this, and the people sent by the empire to hold him accountable and the assassins who wanted to kill him were dealt with by assassins from the Assassin Guild, other city administrators who saw an opportunity followed suit, emphasizing the idea that "the emperor is far away, and the local officials are more powerful than the local ones."
It has been proven that the emergence of corrupt officials is always related to the environment. As development progresses, many cities in the Western Regions no longer pay taxes to the Empire, but instead hand over their tax revenue to the Assassin's Guild. Some of the former corrupt officials have also been transformed into honest and upright administrative officials under the executioner's blade.
With the emergence of a state within a state, and Broly, a great threat who once broke into the palace and has not shown his face for many years, the Empire plotted a scheme to divide and ambush the many Imperial Arms users within the Assassin Alliance.
First, they created people throughout the western regions who violated the Assassin's Guild's prohibitions to sow discord among the Assassins. Then, they sent assassination squads to ambush and kill lone Assassins.
The Empire's plan was good, but they did not anticipate Esdeath's strength. The Imperial assassins sent to attack Esdeath's small team of assassins were all wiped out by the ice puppets created by Esdeath.
"Is it dangerous? Should I wipe out the empire?"
Broly asked the question, and he suddenly felt that the world was no longer safe.
"Danger? You mean the empire that sent hundreds of assassins, only to have them all wiped out outside the valley?"
Esdeath countered with a question.
If we exclude dangerous species and only consider the forces within humanity, then the dangers in this world are...
It's not the Empire, but the party left behind by Broly, whose members are all waifus of Teigu users.
Moreover, this is still among the younger members of the "wife party," such as Akame and Kurome, who are still young and haven't fully grown up yet.
When Broly offered to help her deal with the enemy, Esdeath promptly refused: "If you take care of the enemy, how boring would that be for me?"
In addition, among the wives' faction, there are also wives like Esdeath who don't care about justice at all, and only fight in the name of justice.
The wickedness of human nature and the ability to uphold justice while facing constant challenges from villains—that's where Esdeath's enjoyment lies.
After all, carnivores are stronger, and she enjoys hunting down the strong.
