Southwest of the Imperial Capital.
"Is this the prison of the Imperial Capital?"
Ron cast a quick glance at the massive building, which was ten meters high, made of pure white stone, nearby, and his eyes fell on the perimeter of the prison. He expected, in a place as important as the prison of the Imperial Capital, there to be at least a few hundred elite guards.
But in reality, the main security measure for the prison is a three-meter-high fence around its edge. And although there are many bloodstained barbed wires covering the fence, they make it look somewhat bleak.
But around the fence, there were only twelve guards wearing ordinary equipment, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat relaxed.
As for the hidden guard point in the darkness, or the strong man radiating a powerful aura, he had not seen any of them so far.
"This security force is a little less than I expected."
"It's not very low."
Akame, who was beside him, heard Ron murmuring and explained to him.
"I once met the prison director, and his strength is not weak."
"With that Teigu capable of piercing people's hearts, even I am not sure I would accept it calmly."
"Also, although the prison is a bit far from here, it still falls inside the Imperial Capital."
"Any movement here will be met with a large reinforcement from the palace in a short time. At that moment, you will not only face a large number of elite soldiers but may also have to deal with more than one Teigu user."
And this is also the reason why their Night Raid have not taken any action against this prison despite the lack of guards on it, also on the night raid most of them are elite, but they cannot handle a large number of Teigu users if they are besieged.
But... this time, it was different.
"The prison director will be handed over to you to deal with, and you also try to reduce noise during the fight."
Akame shifted her gaze from the prison and looked at Ron, who did not seem to show the slightest tension.
"I and Mine will be responsible for clearing out the guards and ensuring that news of the breach doesn't leak soon."
"When you succeed, we will immediately go to rescue the conscientious officials who are being held in prison."
"Don't worry, my speed is faster than yours."
Ron, who also completed his observation the prison, took a step forward and walked toward the prison ahead.
"I'll wait for you at the meeting point then."

"Huh? It's Zanku."
In the depths of the prison, a large man raised his head and looked at his subordinate who pushed the door and entered.
"How did the mission go today?"
"Don't worry, Director of the prison."
The man known as Zanku smiled, and a broad grin appeared on his face.
"Even though he kept begging me to let him go, I ignored him and cut off his head~"
"this is good."
A look of satisfaction appeared on the prison director's face: "So you came to me today, is there something wrong?"
"Well, there is one thing I want to ask the prison director about."
Zanku began to speak: "I heard that the prison director used to work like me as an executioner before taking this position."
"So I wanted to ask how you deal with the ringing in your ears while performing this task?"
"Ringing in your ears?"
The director frowned slightly and looked at him with some suspicion.
"Are you too stressed because of work?"
"Thinking about it, the current situation in the imperial capital is not good, so you are forced to kill several people daily."
"It is natural to hallucinate under intense pressure."
So...
Zanku's condition must be corrected.
The other party's qualifications are excellent, and he is the person whom he himself chose to assume his position after him. So in the future, he will inherit not only the position of the prison director but also the Teigu in his hands. If he falls early due to intense pressure, that would not be good.
"Therefore, I will give you a few days' leave."
"What do you think about using this time to adjust your condition and return to work?"
Zanku: "..."
Zanku did not immediately answer the prison director's words.
After exchanging silent glances for a few seconds, he finally realized something.
"Didn't you hear those screams, prison director?"
"Hmm... what should I say about that?" The prison director rubbed his head and answered somewhat embarrassed.
"When I performed the decapitation, Minister Honest hadn't ascended the position yet."
"Although the imperial capital was somewhat chaotic at that time, it was still generally good."
Most of the time, he was free, so at least one or two people a week were executed.
As for situations like Zanku, who deals with criminals intensively every day, he has experienced it several times after the corruption of the empire increased more and more. Just thinking about this, the prison director became more and more able to understand why Zanku was hallucinating.
"Don't worry, Zanku."
"This situation you are in is a result of extreme stress because of work pressure."
"So just relax a little and you will be able to adapt quickly."
"That's what I thought, prison director."
Zanku sighed helplessly, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
"I wanted to hear your opinion."
"I'm sorry, but my situation is not like yours and I disappointed you."
"No problem, O prison director."
That strike smile returned to Zanku's face.
"In fact, you are the first I ask."
"Since you can't answer my doubts, I will go to the second person to ask him."
"But this person is in trouble, I can't go to him directly."
"Since you care about me a lot, can you help me?"
"Certainly."
The prison director spoke, feeling some guilt in his heart.
"If you mentioned that, I will do my best."
"Don't worry, it's not difficult."
Zanku quietly approached the office, leaned over the upper part of his body, and brought his face closer to the prison director's face.
And....
