Just when Yuuki Asuna began to actively adapt to life in the Dimensional City.
Takumi was also busy receiving Najenda.
Riveria was originally responsible for receiving them, but Riveria passed the responsibility back to him.
The reason was that she didn't know the details of the Akame ga Kill! world very well and was afraid that she would make mistakes.
This reason was so sound and logical that Takumi couldn't refute it.
So I had no choice but to come over and negotiate with Najenda after dealing with Yuuki Asuna's matter.
Najenda was obviously well-prepared this time.
Although he didn't know how she did it, she did produce diplomatic mission documents from the Revolutionary Army.
And it was a very formal specification. Takumi used the newly created translation magic to look at it.
The whole document was in standard official Chinese, and the whole article was clean and tidy; even the seal was clear and flawless.
In fact, Najenda had to go to great lengths to convince the Revolutionary Army to prepare this document for her.
Well, that's right, it was a deception.
Najenda still did not tell the Revolutionary Army the true situation of the Dimensional City.
Instead, she made up lies to deceive them.
In Najenda's lie, she described the Dimensional City as an isolated tribe that they happened to discover.
Moreover, there were some Teigu users inside who could be used for Night Raid, but they had encountered difficulties in communication.
She portrayed the city as self-reliant and unwilling to communicate openly without formal documents, so I hoped the Revolutionary Army could give her a complete document.
Because the threat and scale were downplayed, the Revolutionary Army did not pay too much attention to it, but since they wanted the Teigu users, they immediately followed the instructions and issued a diplomatic document according to the specifications and gave it to Najenda.
They were so careless that they didn't send anyone to verify whether the situation was true, nor did they question where an independent tribe within the Empire could have come from.
In fact, the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army felt that it was just a document anyway, and it was worthless. It was of no use except for diplomacy, so Najenda could have it if she wanted it!
If Najenda was asking for money or material support, then they might still be wrangling for a while.
But if it's just a few scraps of paper, everything is easy to grant; here you go!
Najenda did not expect that it would go so smoothly, so all the other preparations she made to tell lies were not used.
However, she didn't care much. After receiving the documents, she immediately led the team to the Dimensional City again.
At this time, the document had been handed into Takumi's hands, and Najenda was waiting for the result with anxiety.
In fact, after Takumi glanced at it, he didn't continue to look at it at all. He was just thinking of a reason to send Najenda away.
After Takumi thought for a while, he put down the documents and said with a smile: "The documents are complete and there are no problems."
Just when Najenda was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he changed the subject and said:
"However, considering the nature of the Revolutionary Army and political issues, we do not accept this application for establishing diplomatic relations for the time being."
"Next, we will send an investigation team to your world."
"Conduct an on-site investigation on a series of comprehensive factors such as the Revolutionary Army's territorial sovereignty and the credibility of the regime to ensure the diplomatic qualifications of your government."
The purpose of this was not only to send Najenda away but also to formally find a reason to send people to the Akame ga Kill! world to hunt Dangerous Species.
But the test was also real, because the Revolutionary Army could not pass it at all!
To put it bluntly, they are a rebel team, a rabble that is not officially recognized.
Territorial sovereignty? That is a fantasy!
Even the ethnic minorities in the Akame ga Kill! world know that it is the territory of the Empire. Before the Empire completely collapses, it remains the territory of the Empire.
Its credibility is even worse. The people below are either forced by circumstances or follow the Revolutionary Army because they want to resist the oppression of the Empire.
To say how much they support the rule of the Revolutionary Army, it is really unclear. Yes.
Because the people over there are probably almost allergic to rule, and they are afraid that the Revolutionary Army will be the next Empire to exploit them. That's why Takumi wants to investigate!
What he wants is for the Revolutionary Army to fail the qualification review.
In this way, he can resolve this once and for all, and there is no need to argue with Najenda anymore. Killing two birds with one stone is perfect!
Najenda soon realized that the Revolutionary Army might not be able to pass the trial, so she immediately panicked.
"City Lord, please wait a moment! Please give us some time to prepare!"
Now all Najenda can do is to stall for time.
Then go back and talk to the Revolutionary Army. If possible, continue to deceive. If not, even if she tells the whole story, she must let those high-level officials understand the seriousness of the matter, quickly clean up internal affairs, and strive to pass the trial.
Because she is afraid that if they cannot pass the trial, the Empire will find a loophole and get the support of the Dimensional City.
This situation must be stopped no matter what!
Otherwise, in the future, if she wants to overthrow the Empire, she may have no chance!
Although she also thinks that the possibility is very small that those in the Empire will be able to get into Takumi's eyes.
But even if there is only a slight possibility, Najenda didn't dare to gamble.
But Takumi smiled and said knowingly: "Why do we need to prepare? Is there something you don't want us to see?"
"...Uh-huh, how is that possible?"
Najenda laughed awkwardly.
She was smiling on the outside, but she was cursing in her heart.
She secretly scolded Takumi for not following the routine.
You were the ones who asked for the documents before, but now I have got the documents. Why are you saying that you need to review the qualifications? You are just kidding me, right?!
"That's enough; the investigation team will set off tomorrow. If you want to prepare, take advantage of this time."
Seeing this, Takumi decided on the examination on the spot, no longer giving Najenda any room to maneuver, and ended the meeting.
"..."
What else could Najenda say? She could only walk away worriedly.
"..."
Return to the Night Raid base in the Akame ga Kill! world.
The two people left behind saw that Najenda's group didn't look very good, and they immediately felt nervous and asked about the situation.
Najenda did not hide anything this time and told the two of them that Takumi was going to send someone to review the diplomatic qualifications of the Revolutionary Army.
At the same time, she also expressed her worries and the true situation of the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army.
In the past, I kept it a secret from subordinates like Night Raid so as not to affect their morale.
But now, Najenda was at her limit.
After all, when the people from Dimensional City come and investigate, everyone will definitely know the truth.
Sooner or later, everyone would know, so it would be better for her to confess.
This would also appease everyone's emotions and prevent her from losing trust along with the top brass of the Revolutionary Army in the minds of these people.
"How can that be? Aren't the Revolutionary Army good people?"
After hearing this, Lubbock had a look of disbelief on his face.
Since the Revolutionary Army is not a good person, then why have they been working so hard to assassinate ministers and help overthrow the Empire?!
The rest of the people also looked uncomfortable. Only Bulat looked at it more objectively; the others had little reaction. The rest, except Sheele who was in a daze, even Akame couldn't help but be shaken. Even they were mentally prepared and felt that the Revolutionary Army wasn't much better. They can create an assassination organization like Night Raid; it's a wonder what kind of gentleman they are.
But they didn't think too badly of the Revolutionary Army before. After all, they were on the same front. Even out of hatred for their enemies, they didn't think too much.
But what they didn't expect was that the real situation was much more outrageous than they imagined!
Although they were not as outrageous as those corrupt nobles in the Empire, they could not be regarded as righteous people.
And such people now account for the majority in the Revolutionary Army!
How can they remain unwavering and prevent their beliefs from collapsing? It's only because they have no such delusions. If they had, they would probably collapse now.
Najenda sighed helplessly: "There are not only good people and bad people in the world. In addition to black and white, there is also gray mixed between the two."
"Some people may be white or black at first, but they may also turn into other colors later."
Isn't that right? Akame was originally from the Empire, so was Bulat, so was Najenda herself, Leone was originally mixed gray, and Sheele was still a killer.
Even they themselves, in this world, are not necessarily clean. Not to mention that the business they are doing is still a dark trade like assassination.
But they are labeled bad, yet they are kind in their hearts.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Bulat asked: "BOSS, what should we do next?"
"Let it be; we can't control what happens next. We can only hope that Dimensional City will not interfere in this war."
Najenda shook her head and silently lit a cigarette.
Even if she notified the Revolutionary Army now, it was too late to prepare.
But to stop them, they did not have the strength.
Therefore, Najenda just let things run their course.
I can only pray silently that Dimensional City should not interfere or take any side.
"..."
Seeing this, the five of them also fell silent.
After understanding that there was nothing they could do about the matter, they simply gave up.
I didn't even go on the assassination mission; I just waited for Dimensional City to send someone over.
"..."
Takumi also told Riveria about the matter.
"Can it still be like this?" Riveria was also shocked by Takumi's operation. She didn't expect to be able to play it like this.
Takumi shrugged: "We have the final say anyway, so why not?"
Anyway, they have the initiative, and they can play it whatever way they want.
What? You don't cooperate? You don't want to play?
Heh, do you think I will care? You're thinking too much. It's over!
At worst, we can just break it off in one fell swoop. That's just the end of it, so you don't have to bother me again in the future.
"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with this."
Riveria nodded in agreement.
Rules have always been made by the strong, and the weak can only follow them.
Since the Dimensional City is stronger than the opponent, it is natural to handle them however they want.
"Then I'll go arrange the team."
"Well, go ahead and let Kanae and the others go. From now on, the task of hunting Dangerous Species will basically be left to them."
"Good."
With Takumi's approval, Riveria issued a series of personnel transfer orders.
A large number of elf girls from the Guards were mobilized, and Kanae, who was about to go to Orario to guard Goliath's refresh, was also notified, along with Megumin and the others.
The next day.
Thirty elf girls from the Guards, as well as the three sisters Kanae, Saeko Busujima, Haruhime, and Megumin who also changed into uniforms.
A team of thirty-six people in total; the assembly is completed.
They will go to the Akame ga Kill! world in the name of review and examination, but in fact, they will perform the task of hunting Dangerous Species.
At the same time, this is also a field investigation.
Investigate the distribution of Dangerous Species so that they can hunt when needed in the future.
And pay attention to various situations in the Akame ga Kill! world to gain a deeper understanding.
The leader of the team is Lia.
She is the eldest sister of the elf girls. She has the most seniority, knows the most, and is the most stable.
In addition, these days, she has been following Takumi and learned a lot, knowing the goal of the mission best, so she was appointed as the team leader.
And Lia's deputy, the vice-captain, is Lafa.
She is the eldest sister of a group of elf girls who came later; similar to Lia, she was originally responsible for leading her sisters to survive, and her ability is undoubted.
Recently, Lafa has been helping Riveria with official affairs, and she has also learned some things. In the Akame ga Kill! world, she will be the one to deal with Najenda and the others.
At the same time, the remaining members of Lafa's tribal clan are also the largest among the elf girls, with more than 20 people.
These girls are also in the team now, and Lafa is there to manage them. It's also more convenient.
That is, the six of them, including Kanae, are a bit out of line among the elf girls in this group.
But Takumi didn't care. It's not a military parade anyway, so feel free to do it.
There's no formality. After giving a speech on the concept and explaining the mission, Takumi took them and set off.
Originally, Takumi was not planning to go in person. After all, there were still many things to be busy with in the Dimensional City.
But considering that he had not been to this world many times in total, plus the first two triggered tasks provided pretty good rewards, Takumi was ready to follow along and have a look.
Even if he didn't do anything else, he would just wait for a task to be triggered to see what rewards there were and whether it was worth doing. Not bad.
So, Takumi set off with the thirty-six-member review team.
With him leading the team, they didn't even have to go through the security check, and they directly entered the Dimensional Door leading to the Akame ga Kill! world.
"..."
In the hall of the Night Raid base.
Ever since Najenda and her party brought back the news two days ago, everyone in Night Raid has been arranging things, gathering in the hall and waiting with nothing to do.
Suddenly, a rainbow vortex appeared next to Akame.
"Coming!"
Everyone cheered up instantly and looked towards the rainbow vortex.
A man so handsome that Lubbock couldn't help but feel inferior came out of it.
"Ah... Mr. City Lord, why are you here?"
Najenda couldn't help being stunned, and then hurriedly came up to him.
Takumi didn't say anything, but just stepped aside.
The review team that followed him also walked out of the rainbow vortex in neat rows.
Seeing this scene, Najenda and others were all numb.
Damn it! Did you say you were just here for a review?!
Why are you wearing military uniforms!
Are you so sure you are not here to fight?!
Even if Lubbock and Bulat had never seen these elf girls, they could feel the deadly threat from them.
Good guy!
Even the elite troops are dispatched!
You can't even believe that they are here for business!
Among the elf girls, Najenda was even more panicked than the two of them.
Aren't these the City Lord's personal guards?
There were only a few dozen people in total, and now there are thirty of them! What are they going to do?!
Are you no longer pretending? Are you planning to start a war directly?
"Lord City Lord, what are you going to do? Didn't you say you were just here for an examination?"
Najenda asked quickly, sweating profusely.
"I'm just here for inspection. In view of the turbulent situation here, it is reasonable for the review team to deploy some force out of security needs, right?"
"That's reasonable!"
"You call this 'some force'?!"
"I think it's more like 100 million!"
"...Reasonable."
Looking at this team that could easily overthrow the Empire, Najenda could only force out a smile that was uglier than crying and nodded in agreement.
There was nothing she could do; the elf girls were looking at her.
With that posture, she felt that if she dared to deny it, she would be pushed aside by them.
"As long as it's reasonable. If there's nothing wrong, we'll leave first."
Takumi didn't care about their reactions and was about to lead the team away.
Seeing this, Najenda quickly came up and said with a smile:
"Let us lead the way for you. It is our duty to promote friendly exchanges between the two sides."
Well, it's said to be leading the way, but actually, it's just monitoring.
She is really afraid of letting such a terrifying team wander around in their world; who knows what trouble will happen.
If she is asked to accompany them, she can at least try to observe the situation.
"This is of course no problem, and you also have the power to supervise."
Takumi didn't refuse and readily agreed.
Then Najenda left Lubbock and Bulat behind and left the base with Takumi and others.
