A small villa on a hill west of the imperial capital.
"Chelsea, get up."
Ron placed the food with his hand on the table, then turned his head to look at the girl who was lying on the bed nearby.
"We will leave early today and aim to reach the imperial capital before dark."
"Hmm... it's very early."
Chelsea raised her hand with difficulty to rub her sleepy eyes and yawned lazily. The blanket slipped off her body, revealing a charming spring light.
But Chelsea didn't care about that.
This is not the first time, since the other day we began to check each other's physical condition, this scene repeats almost every day.
And for this reason, both of them are much slower than expected.
"By the way, is something wrong?"
Chelsea held the outfit on the side and put it on, asking as she wore her black leather shoes.
"I don't think there's a need to rush like this."
"It's not urgent."
Ron swallowed his food and clarified: "It's simply that I am late this time."
"I will go back to Najenda and tell her before i leave again."
"Leaving?"
Chelsea sat beside Ron, looking at him with a puzzled look.
"Where are you going?"
"Orario."
"Hmm... I've never heard of it before."
"That's normal."
Ron replied calmly: "If you have an impression of this name, there is a big problem."
He wanted to temporarily return to the world of Danmachi.
This is the conclusion Ron reached after finishing his fight with Esdeath not long ago.
The strength of the other side is stronger than expected.
The previous fight, outwardly, was in favor. But in reality, the results are not promising.
Thanks to strengthening the wind magic speed, and with wind shoes, he reached the peak of his natural state at that time. Along with a concentrated power technique, and a swift attack from a deadly angle after completely hiding his breath.
At that time, it can be said he was superior.
But still, Esdeath deflected his attack. If the fight had continued at that time, he and Esdeath would have fought until the death.
Then, perhaps his chances of winning would only be sixty percent.
This success rate might be high in others' eyes, but it is still not good in Ron's opinion.
More importantly, this hypothesis assumes that Esdeath did not deeply develop her Teigu ability, nor develop or think of the "Mahāpadma" move.
Although this trick of Esdeath was developed later.
But this is a real world not novel or anime, and something different might happen to Esdeath. Moreover, her potentials and growth rate should also be considered.
In her presence, even if she didn't understand [Mahāpadma] initially, the probability of her suddenly exploding and then understanding it during the fight is not impossible.
So without combat power higher than her, there are not many ways to completely defeat her. The easiest way to do that is to return to Danmachi and level up the adventurer.
It's been more than twenty days since I came to the world of Akame.
Although he's obsessed these days with studying the structure of Teigu, and spends most of his time doing so. But in this process, he didn't forget to hunt dangerous high-level species nearby.
Especially on his way to and from the northern tribes, he encountered many special dangerous species. Although the experience value isn't large, it's also a good gain after accumulating a small amount.
After that, all he has to do is train in the dungeon for another two days and complete the grand tasks.
He can enter level V.3 with a capability value board of 5S as in the level LV.1 period.
At that time, along with the enhanced magic [Uchide no Kozuchi], his success rate against Esdeath will increase sharply. The only problem is the passage of time in this part of the world.
If the connection is cut for a long time, it is easy to cause unnecessary misunderstandings from Najenda. Therefore, before leaving, he must talk to the other party.
...
Time passed, and the sky began to darken. In a corner a few kilometers west of the imperial capital.
"Ron, do you feel something?"
"What do you mean."
Perhaps because of habit, Chelsea, who was lying on Ron in a cat form as usual, raised her head and looked around calmly.
"I always felt that someone is watching us in the dark."
"Huh? I didn't expect your intuition to be sharp."
Ron replied, looking at Chelsea with an unexpected fleeting look:
"Indeed, there is someone watching us."
"Hah... I didn't expect your night raid to also be equipped with long-range reconnaissance tools, and full of talents."
Maybe because Ron's performance was very calm, Chelsea who worried, relaxed a little.
"With a companion like this, it seems I can accomplish missions easily in the future..."
Bang!
Before Chelsea finished her speech, a shadow suddenly fell from the sky, smashing a hole in the ground.
"Haha! I arrived first!"
"You're Ron, right? I've been waiting for you for days. Are you ready to die?"
"Huh?!"
Chelsea looked at the man who was rushing toward them with a machete without saying a word, a surprising sound emitted.
"Ron! What's the situation?!"
"Isn't that obvious?"
After avoiding the other's attack without changing his expression, Ron, who tilted his head indifferently, replied:
"The night raid base has been exposed."
"Now, this one attacking us, and the few who are spying on us from afar, all of them are from the Empire."
"What the hell is this!" When Chelsea saw that Ron had confirmed this guess, she couldn't help but complain.
"Don't they say that the ones from the night raid are the elite of the revolutionary army?"
"How can they be like these men from the northern tribes, always dropping the chain at the crucial moment!"
She doesn't have a combat talent like Ron, and her physical fitness isn't very good. During the weekdays, she carries out missions after camouflage and sneaking into the place to assassinate quietly.
Once exposed directly to the enemy like this, she is no different from ordinary people, and she cannot perform her role at all.
"What are you doing, do you want to retreat?"
"Retreat?"
Cut! Cut! Cut!
After Ron cut down all the enemies coming from all directions with a few sword moves in his hand, he looked at Chelsea in confusion.
"They are just a bunch of scum. What are you afraid of?"
Chelsea: "..."
