Akame ga Kill: Starting with Dual Kamui-Chapter 148: Certain People’s Actions
Chapter 148 - 148: Certain People's Actions
After Blayn and Esdeath left the Imperial Capital, the news spread just as Blayn had intended.
Upon learning that Seryu and the others had been teleported far away by the suddenly returned son of Prime Minister Honest—and that Blayn and Esdeath were setting out to find them—the leader of the Revolutionary Army was overjoyed.
Just as Blayn had predicted, the "certain people" he had in mind—specifically, the leader of the Revolutionary Army—was preparing to join forces with foreign nations to launch an even bolder operation.
At this moment, Blayn had already taken Esdeath beyond the Empire's borders.
Although he had confiscated all the Teigu, including Shambhala, he couldn't directly use it to teleport himself and Esdeath to Seryu's location.
This was because the teleportation points had been set by its original owner, Syura. When Shambhala came into Blayn's possession, it essentially reset, leaving him with only random teleportation rather than the ability to transport to fixed locations.
It was just like in the original manga, where Lubbock killed Syura and took Shambhala, only to find that he could only teleport randomly. As a result, he ended up in the Royal Palace—where he was promptly slain by Izou...
Because of this, Blayn had to rely on Double Kamui to move quickly with Esdeath.
Now that his overall attributes—especially his Constitution—had reached a certain threshold, he could use Double Kamui's teleportation ability frequently without issue.
The farthest Blayn had ever traveled was the Empire's border. Since Seryu and the others had been teleported to an uninhabited island in the southern seas by Shambhala, he brought Esdeath along and used Kamui Space to teleport them to the Empire's southern border.
As for places he had never been before, he couldn't teleport directly over such extreme distances. Instead, he moved with Esdeath through rapid, short-range teleportation within his line of sight.
"You're incredibly fast."
Esdeath, holding Blayn's hand, could feel his speed firsthand and couldn't help but be impressed.
"Those guys will probably make their move soon. We need to hurry," Blayn said.
The day after Najenda returned from the Revolutionary Army headquarters, the western and southern foreign tribes began stirring—first with border skirmishes, then outright invasions.
Blayn strongly suspected a conspiracy between the Revolutionary Army and the foreign nations.
Given the circumstances, there was a high probability that they wouldn't pass up such a golden opportunity.
...
It didn't take long for Blayn and Esdeath to find Seryu and the others on the uninhabited island.
They could see Seryu's group locked in battle with a swarm of Danger Beasts. This place was teeming with them, but for Teigu Users, these creatures weren't much of a threat unless they encountered a Super-Class Danger Beast.
Right now, the real problem for Seryu and the others wasn't the Danger Beasts—it was figuring out how to return to the Imperial Capital. They didn't even know where they had been teleported to.
"Captain Seryu, look! Isn't that Commander Blayn and Commander Esdeath?"
Wave was the first to notice Blayn and Esdeath standing not far away.
Hearing this, Seryu immediately turned in the direction Wave was pointing and, sure enough, saw them. She was overjoyed.
Master and Esdeath found us so quickly? No... wait... it's possible they were also caught in the teleportation. Maybe they were sent here just like us...
After decapitating a Danger Beast in front of her with a single slash, Seryu wasted no time running toward Blayn and Esdeath.
"Master! Why are you here? Did you get caught up in this too?"
"No, we didn't. We already took care of those troublemakers in the capital. We came here specifically to find you," Blayn explained.
"Whew~"
Seryu let out a relieved sigh. "As expected of you, Master! You really are amazing. Compared to you, I still have a long way to go."
"Let's go. I'll use that Teigu to take you all back now."
Blayn figured the cooldown for Shambhala should be over by now.
Teigu of this type didn't require much adaptability from their users—anyone with decent physical capabilities could wield them.
Moreover, Shambhala's ability was incredibly convenient, allowing him to teleport a whole group at once. This saved him the trouble of transporting them one by one through Kamui Space.
Once everyone gathered in one spot, Blayn activated Shambhala.
A massive glowing circle appeared beneath their feet, and in the next instant, they found themselves back in the Imperial Capital—more precisely, inside Esdeath's mansion.
Blayn had previously set a coordinate here with Shambhala, allowing them to teleport directly to a fixed location.
"Commander Blayn, did you and Commander Esdeath eliminate all those enemies?"
At that moment, Run approached and asked.
"Yes," Blayn nodded.
"That's good," Run said, though his expression grew slightly complicated.
While it was a relief that those people had received their punishment, he regretted not being able to personally take down one particular target...
"Something wrong? You look like you still have something on your mind."
Noticing Run's expression, Blayn asked.
"Well... It's because I had a deep personal grudge against that clown-masked bastard..."
Run explained, "I used to be a schoolteacher in the countryside, but one day, when I returned to the school, I found that all the children had been slaughtered in the most brutal way imaginable... and that man was the one responsible."
"...Regardless, Commander Blayn, you've avenged me. I truly appreciate it."

"If I had to do it alone, taking my revenge would've been far more difficult."
His enemy was already dead, and Run had no intention of dwelling on it any longer.
Blayn now understood. "I see. I should have left that guy for you."
"No, no, Commander Blayn, I'm already incredibly grateful for what you've done."
Run smiled.
Blayn gave a slight nod, then returned to the main issue at hand.
"For now, stay here. I have a feeling certain people are about to start making their move."
