Somewhere off to the side, Aria was running from shop to shop, followed by 2 guards with huge shopping boxes. However, I was not concerned with them.

I was busy loosening my sword. I was loosening it in a magical sense. With a simple infusion of mana, nothing happened, it just started to temporarily blaze with fire, but to awaken... It was unbelievable!

After I picked it up, the defence began to be removed little by little, and was now halfway removed. However, there was nothing I could do to speed it up or do anything else about the process. It's probably the same shingu that was mentioned in the anime. It seems to be a weapon created from the bodies of dangerous animals.

However, I decided to put the sword aside for now, wait for it to fully awaken, and only then experiment.

- Kaneki!!! - I heard Aria shout.

Turning my head, I saw... Aria standing outside the tailor shop. Come on... As I got closer, Aria literally shoved me into the building.

There were 2 men of rather advanced age and a young girl who was apparently a secretary. Also, there were several racks of clothes... and on one of them hung the set of clothes I described last night.

- Try it on! - Aria exclaimed, pushing me closer.

The 2 men started to help me undress, right there! No, I'm not shy, but it's still kind of... not human... Although, why should I complain, I'm not human twice already. First I became a demon, and then I became a Ghoul... What am I now? A demon Ghoul?

After I got dressed, I took a look at myself in the mirror, and I must say that I looked pretty good... A white shirt, the collar of which was peeking out from under a light, black jacket with a very deep hood. Also black trousers with fire wings on the sides. And black trainers to complete the look.

There were no charms on the clothes, no curses, no poisons, no matter how many times I looked for them, there were none. Or... maybe Aria was just embarrassed to show me off in public as a bodyguard, with the clothes I was wearing. But whatever. Thanking everyone here, I quickly started scraping the spell of cleanliness and restoration of clothes from my memory, because soon... clothes are going to suffer a lot. And I like it, and I'm not used to changing my clothes often.

Having bought all the necessary things (aha... necessary... yup... Thirty-two dresses, 3 skirts, 11 pairs of shoes and a teddy bear as a cherry - these are absolutely necessary things...), Aria gave the order to go to the estate. Before I left, however... I came across some highly entertaining flyers.

"WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, MEMBER OF NIGHT RAID, AKAME."

"WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, HEAD OF THE NIGHT RAID, NAJENDA."

"WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, MEMBER OF THE NIGHT RAID, BULAT."

And if Bulat didn't really catch my attention... then here was Akame... well, and Najenda just a little bit. Akame was a flawless beauty on the flyer! But in real life... I can't wait to meet her.

Najenda's pretty too, but... The prosthetic arm and eye patch are a bit much. And I've always preferred long hair to short hair.

After admiring her enough, the thought slipped into my head that I'd see her today. Until then, all I have to do is wait.

***

When I arrived, I immediately went to my room, going to work on my sword, which was already completely free of seals.

And what's more, the sword began to communicate with me through mental channels, which made me lose my understanding of its structure. It seemed to be a simple artefact, and here you have a high-class spell of Mind magic!

After a while, I managed to figure out how it worked. Although to understand it is too strong a word... just at one thought, she went into the void, and at the opposite desire, instantly appeared. And appearing, if at the place of materialisation was another object (in the experience I used pillows), the sword simply appeared in the object itself, leaving a hole at the exit.

At first I couldn't get excited about such a valuable artefact, with such an easy to obtain, but then I still managed to find a downside. The sword would ONLY appear in my hand. That is, I would not be able to summon it at close contact in my opponent's chest. Only if I turned my fist in its direction... Then the tip of the sword would reach the flesh.

After some thought, I decided to give it a name, as such artefacts are usually named. It didn't take me long to think of a name, and I decided on "Blutege".

After playing around with the weapon enough, I started experimenting with the Ghoul mask. The mask was perfect. And even though a quarter of the face was open, the Ghoul eye, completely unfamiliar and unfamiliar to local people, this disadvantage takes away completely.

On detailed inspection, it appeared that the mask also bore the spell of changing the voice, imposed very, very habitually and familiarly. But on the change of hair colour, I was very proud of myself. The mask was connected by a mental channel to the wearer, some identification charms were passed, and then the mask gave a command to transform the wearer's hair into black colour.

And these are all quite complicated charms! Yes, I can cast them, but it would take a lot of effort.

I put the mask back on, then put on my hood and walked over to the mirror. I look like some kind of maniac... Activate kakugan. Whoa. I think my appearance might make someone shit their trousers at night.

After some thought, I cast a mental wave over the surrounding corridors, and finding no one who could enter at a moment's notice, I unleashed a kagune of four tentacles. Yeah... and this kind of thing could make you sick in the daytime....

After removing the kagune, cutting off the kakugan and taking off my mask, I realised that I had just ripped my shirt and jacket, so I briefly started enchanting them.

***

It was early night when I finished enchanting my clothes. It was not so much difficult as it was time-consuming to enchant two weaves at once, even though they were simple enough. Too many threads and such, but the result was worth it.

All this time, I had been scanning the manor for intruders, but so far the Night Raid had not appeared. And then... the six unknowns appeared in the estate's area. Heh...

After thinking for a bit, I put on my hood and headed towards the nearest servant room where I was going to have my last meal.

The girl making the bed wasn't even surprised when a slightly glowing tentacle emerged from her chest. This time I was fully adequate, and not even particularly hungry, so I ate carefully, trying not to get dirty. Only my hands were covered in blood.

At the same time, I checked the spells on my clothes, which worked wonderfully, stitching up in just a few seconds after receiving my mana.

At the same time as I washed my hands in a nearby barrel, Aria's mother was chopped up. After thinking for a moment, I slipped into acceleration, then ran towards Aria, who was now running out of the manor with a guard.

I made it just in time. They were just approaching the barn with the corpses, near which the fight between GG and Akame had taken place... But to call that action a fight... It was more like Tatsumi was just mocked.

- What's going on? - Aria asked worriedly to the guard who was almost dragging her.

- Just run away from here! It's not safe here! - shouted back the guard. Ts... they're being searched for by assassins and they're shouting at the whole manor.

- Mistress Aria! - I struggled to get it out of me.

The guard drew his sword sharply and pointed it in my direction, but when he saw me, the couple calmed down.

- Kaneki! - Aria sighed in relief.

- You're just in time! - The guard exclaimed, pointing his finger at me. - Hold off the enemy, and you, ma'am, run to the warehouse and wait for the guards there!

Just then... from behind me came the rumble of someone landing. Already anticipating the aesthetic pleasure, I turned around to Akame while calling out to Blutege.

- Akame... I've heard about you. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. - I smirked.

The girl didn't pay any attention to my words. Is she in a battle trance or something? If so, she must be a master if she can get into it.

Akame abruptly rushed towards me with the clear intention of just jumping over me, just like in the canon.

- You're not our target..." she said lifelessly as she jumped.

By the way, the speed she was travelling at... well above human speed. Of course, it's still not up to my current speed, but still....

- No, no! I want to fight you! - I exclaimed, accelerating to the limit and gently picking up the girl in flight, sending her flying in the opposite direction. True, I had to block her katana too, but that wasn't the point.

Moreover, it even broke through her trance! Akame, after landing, looked at me in surprise. And then... A guard stood next to me and started shooting at her with his obviously magical automatic rifle. WHAT!?!? HE DARES TO INTERFERE WITH ME!!!

Akame started to dodge the stream of bullets... but not for long. As Bluthege pierced the guard's head after a few bullets he had fired. The girl was already frankly shocked by my ambiguous behaviour.

- So, what's it gonna be? Shall we fight? - I smirked.

Akame never dignified me with an answer. She rushed towards me, katana in hand. Heh...

I dodged her blow, intending to knock her katana out of her hands right away, but... I wasn't going to hit her, but she... charged at me with her foot. It hurt... But I endured it. But I did make a note to myself to "make a couple of forays into the fridge with meat" for the future.

Once again her katana strike followed, which I once again swung aside. And she attempted to charge at me again. Now, however, I was ready for such an unfair trick, and managed to grab the leg that was flying towards me, then pulling hard enough, I threw the girl to the ground, knocking the blade out of her hands, then bringing the Blutege to Akame's throat.

Yeah... Something about the masters here is... stale.

- Ah, what kind of day is this, huh? - I asked with a sour face, creating a fireball in my hand and sending it straight at Aria's head.

The girl, as I hoped, did not die from such a light blow, and started rolling on the ground with a burn and flaming hair. I, on the other hand, drew my sword slightly to the side, allowing Akame to raise her head and see what was happening.

Leone popped into the clearing with the ears and claws I'd been waiting for, and then her worried expression changed from shock to concern.

- No Kaneki! - she shrieked.

- М? - I feigned surprise as I looked at Leone. - Oh! Leone! -I didn't hide my joy, drawing my sword back and heading towards the girl.

After a glimpse of Akame, I realised that I'd overdone the show. No, like I said, I got an aesthetically pleasing picture in the form of Akame's dumbfounded face, but... it was a little over the top.

- So you're from the Night Raid, I take it? - I asked cheerfully, hugging the metamorph in a friendly manner, the shock level of which had almost reached Akame.

- What about..." Leone asked confused, pointing her finger at Aria rolling on the ground.

- Aria? So, I told you I need to find a job for the first time, right? They made me bodyguard for that cunt. Then I found out what her family was up to and decided to kill her. And then you showed up. - I smiled, summoning Blutege again, heading towards Aria.

As I approached, I let all the disgust I'd accumulated during the day come out, then in one motion I slit her throat.

- You... have a teigu? And you also defeated Akame with a single sword? - Leone struggled to squeeze it out of her.

- Yeah. - I smiled sincerely. - By the way, thank you so much for the fight, Akame! - I turned to the still lying girl. - You didn't have to hit 'that one' at all..." I grimaced a little.

- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! - Leone fell down next to her friend, shaking with laughter.

Meanwhile, I threw a glance at Aria's body, filling it with a large amount of fire mana, that is, almost instantly turning even the bones into ash.

When I turned my gaze back to the girls, both of them were already standing, and Leone had gone from the 'lunatic's laughter' stage to 'frequent giggles'.

- Listen, and join us! - Laughing said the metamorph.

- Huh? - I acted surprised.

- You said yourself that you want to fight for the revolutionary army! And we're part of it. Besides, you defeated Akame without even using teigu! And I need a regular drinking buddy! - she continued cheerfully.

- 'Why...' I said thoughtfully. - That's not a bad idea! I'm in!

- Good! Now let's go quickly, we're already behind schedule.

All the way back to the rest of the team, Leone was giggling and Akame was still recovering from her shock. And when we got there... what awaited us was...

- YOU'RE LATE!!! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!? - screamed the pink-haired girl. I think her name is Maya... Or something like that. - Wait..." she squinted her eyes. - Who the hell is that? - she shrieked again, pointing her finger at me.

- That's one of us! Kaneki Ken! I asked him to join the Night Raid! - Leone smirked.

At that, the rest of the team was surprised, though they didn't ask. Apparently Leone often does weird things... Yeah....

- Mission accomplished! Let's go back! - Akame exclaimed.
