Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Chapter 21 - Gaining Respect

The only one who didn't care about Garou's words was Esdeath. She laughed hearing his words harder earning the attention of her subordinates.

She used all of her remaining strength to stand on her own as she grinned at Garou, she said " You are far better than what I thought!! No you far surpassed all my expectations, you are definitely far stronger than me. Stronger than anyone in the empire !!! "

Her words troubled her subordinates, the air was getting more and more tense. The general lost him, what about them. They were not confident enough in taking this guy down and even if they somehow managed to do it, the price will be some of them dying in the process!!!

" That proves I was right about you. You are the most suitable man to be my lover !!!" Esdeath said with slight blush causing the new arrived jaegers to be shocked while Wave and Rin wanting to palm their faces.

< Didn't this whole disaster begin because of this very idea of yours. Dear general, why are focusing on this point over and over again. Do you want him to get angrier and kill us all !!!> Wave and Rin thought at the same

And as if he was answering their expectation, Garou shouted back at her, " What is wrong with you? Are you m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t? You are definitely a one, go find someone else to satisfy your fetishes. Give me a single reason to not break your bones to pieces "

Garou was really fed up with this woman, she was really crazy. The 6 jaegers tensed hearing him threatening their general, but the general herself didn't mind him, she walked slowly toward him with all the strength she had left in her. Once she right in front of him she said " Simple, You are the strongest man in the empire and you obviously enjoy fighting "

" So? " Garou wasn't sure if walking up to him was courage or plain stupidity

" I'm the same as you. I'm the strongest woman in the empire " Esdeath spoke proudly

Garou frowned a little and said " So I should be your lover for this ? "

Esdeath shook her and said " If we two battle maniacs were to breed children, they will be the perfect warriors for sure. We will start a great tribe of warriors. Besides, I'm fond of you already "

She said the last part with a blush, but no one paid attention to that as they all thought about what kind of children would be born of these two were they got together. Even Garou himself thought about it. Everyone shivered at the thought, but Garou thought it would be interesting to have a tribe of battle maniacs.

Garou shook his head pushing these thoughts away from his mind. He looked at Esdeath and cursed inwardly, that thought was actually tempting to him but this is wrong and doesn't align with his d.e.s.i.r.e to be the strongest. More importantly, he is not from this world in the first place and he will definitely leave someday.

Garou gave the most expressionless face and gave a straight flat answer " I'm not interested, and won't be breeding anything with you "

Esdeath eyes narrowed as she replied " Don't think I will give up so easily !!!"

Garou ignored her and looked at the group behind her, her special elite team were looking awkwardly at each other seeing their commander's actions. Garou noticed Seryu standing amongst them so he called out for her since she was the only one he knew " Hey Seryu!! Come and take this crazy woman away before I really break her bones "

Seryu wanted to say something but Esdeath spoke first " Who are you calling crazy? I'm completely sane, beside you already broke some of my rips, want to touch and make sure "

Esdeath pushed her b.o.o.b.s closer to Garou as if she was seducing him causing his eyes to twitch. He was really thinking about breaking her legs now !!!

" Ummm.. General "

Garou and Esdeath both looked at the giant man with a scary costume who was rasing his hand as if he was in a class.

" Yes Bols? " Esdeath replied

" I'm not well versed in relationsh.i.p.s, but I think forcing a relationship like this is not a healthy action… Especially in your case" Bols said with a little hesitation

The other 5 nodded a little while thinking this whole relationship is a messed up idea.

" I see… What do you suggest then " Esdeath asked ignoring the angry Garou who standing right beside her.

" First, you should stop this " Bols answered

" Finally, a person with a mind" Garou said while Esdeath face darkened

" You should take it step by step, first get to know each other "

" I take my words back " Garou clenched his fists barely holding himself from killing the whole group, he didn't want to kill for such a stupid reason. By contrast to his action, Esdeath was relaxed and nodded in understanding.

" Let me start, My name is Esdeath " Esdeath said with a smile while extending her hand for Garou to shake

" You do realize we have been fighting a moment ago and I nearly killed you right? " Garou asked the crazy woman.

" You are stronger so you have the right to injure me or even kill me. I wouldn't take a grudge for losing against a stronger opponent " Esdeath spoke honestly as this what she always believed. The strong lives while the weak suffer and perish.

Garou was surprised by her words, he could tell she was honest and just now she spoke her true thoughts. She was a crazy woman for sure, but she was true to herself and not a bitter loser. For this alone, Garou held a little respect for the woman.

He extended his hand and replied " Garou "

Aside from the general and one member of the jaegers the rest bodies remained tensed a little not daring to relax completely in the presence of Garou. Seryu was the only one to relax as she knew Garou, she feared him but knew he was not part of the evil forces. Afterall and according to her dead teacher, he was just a violent man with a short temper not truly evil.

Seryu moved closer to Esdeath as Koru spit some bandages earning a frown from Garou. He didn't know that little thing could work as a storage as well.

Seryu started bandaging Esdeath who sat limply on the floor, Dr stylish soon joined her as he was the one with the greatest expertise, upon checking her wounds he sighed in relief and spoke to the others, " The general has some light wounds and bruises, her ribs a little fractured but luckily nothing serious. In a few days she would be back to full health"

The group sighed in relief, while Stylish continued " We should head back to the royal palace now, so the general could rest "

Garou frowned at them before speaking " I still didn't get my prize "

The four Jaegers who came late didn't understand what he meant while Rin and Wave wanted to punch the guy. Wave couldn't contain himself and said " Are you serious? After everything you have done? You still asking this !!!!"

Garou looked sharply at Wave causing the poor guy to flinch in fear " Your leader started it all not me. In addition to that, why did I end up in all of this trouble if not for it? If you have a problem please speak, I'm more than willing to let my fist communicate with your face "

Wave stepped back while Esdeath laughed, she said " I'm getting more and more interested in you. You don't have to worry about that, you can come with us to the royal palace. I will hand you the prize there if you don't mind "

Garou thought immediately it might be a trap for him but then disregarded this notation. Esdeath didn't give him the feeling of someone who will use underhanded methods to win against her opponents. Besides, if she did make a trap for him, wouldn't breaking right through her plans more entertaining.

Garou nodded to her and said, " Very well, I'm coming with you. I might as well take a tour for sightseeing in the royal palace"

The Jaegers nearly fell hearing his words, since when people take sightseeing tours in the royal palace? They could do nothing but keep their opinions to themselves.

" Let's head back " Esdeath said

Esdeath stood on his own and walked toward the palace refusing to receive help. She was not going to act weak now. Garou walked right beside her disregarding the rest.

Not far away, the 3 assassins stared blankly at this development. They thought about attacking Esdeath while she was weakened, but seeing Garou walking right next to her caused them to drop the thought. Garou was the one who injured and made her vulnerable, but currently, he was the strongest shield she could ever ask for.
