Akame Ga Kill: Garou

Chapter 5 - Orphans

At the front gate of the capital, Seryu was looking worried as she said "Where are you going? You don't know anyone here, you don't have money or a place to stay."

Garou replied casually "I'm going to explore the capital and I will be fine, I can handle myself. Besides you guys are too poor to afford even food."

Remembering the food incident, Seryu mood switched instantly as she said "Good luck out there!! I hope you find enough food to satisfy your gluttonous self."

Garou didn't look amused by her words, he nodded lightly and said "If I find myself hungry, I will look for you. Your dog seems big enough to be my lunch."

Seryu made distance from him as she hugged her dog "Hell no !!!"

Garou smirked, he turned around and walked away, at the same time he raised his hand and said "See ya".

"Bye and don't turn evil or I will bring you justice" Seryu reminded the retreating Garou.

Seryu turned to face Ogre as she asked "Sir, will he be alright on his own?"

Ogre looked in the direction of Garou before answering "You saw his strength and speed, he should be fine alone. I would be more worried about those who will cross his path if I were you. Beside…. While he doesn't seem to be a criminal or a traitor, he still gives me a dangerous vibe…. I have no doubt that guy is a true warrior who bathed in blood."

Seryu was surprised by her mentor evaluation, she replied "Although he is very strong, he didn't seem as dangerous as you make him out to be. He is more of an asshole."

Ogre shook his head as he replied, "You are still too green, that not-so-dangerous-asshole could have killed us. And before you say he still has to pass Kuro, He is fast and strong enough to kill us instantly, adding how close we were to him, I'm afraid he would have killed us all without any of us being able to react including you and Kuro. Luckily, he is not an enemy and don't have bad intentions toward us."

Seryu widened her eyes, she didn't think about it that deeply. She looked at her mentor in more worship as she replied "Thanks, teacher, I don't know where I should have been if not for you."

Ogre gave her smiled as he replied "You will learn with time, go back with the rest to the police station. I have a place I need to visit first."

Seryu nodded then left with the rest, as Ogre went on his way.

______________________________________________________________________________

Garou observed his surroundings carefully as he walked through the city, the more he walked, the more surprised he got, the city looked like a city from the middle ages with no technology or electricity. At first, he doubted he was dreaming or someone messing with him but considering how detailed this city is he dismissed such possibilities. That took him back to his purple light guess. It seemed the mysterious purple light had somehow teleported out of city z, even out of his world. He wondered if he could get back to his old world or not. He has to go back to the lake to investigate the source of light.

"Come with us, I promise you will enjoy every bit of it hehehe."

A creepy voice brought Garou out of his thoughts. He looked at his side, Two a.d.u.l.ts cornering a boy and a girl who looked barely 10 years old. Both kids had blonde hair and blue eyes, they wore torn rags, they were obviously poor. The boy was shielding the girl behind him, protecting her from the two tall men in front of him.

"You don't need to be like this, we are going to show your little sister a nice time" the first man spoke with a l.u.s.tful smirk.

"That's right, she will experience otherworldly p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e hehehehe" the second man laughed sinisterly.

The children were shaking in fear, while the girl was tearing the boy tried to look as courageous as he could.

Garou didn't like the site in the slightest, two a.d.u.l.ts eyeing a little girl l.u.s.tfully in such a disgusting manner. He noticed that the bystanders who watched from the sides divided into two groups, a group which enjoyed the show while the second showed pity and that's it. No one moved to help the children.

Garou felt disgusted by these people more than the two men themselves. His eyes returned to the two smirking bastards then started walking toward them. As he got closer, he spoke loudly for everyone to hear "Two old disgusting animals hounding two children. In addition to that, a group of filthy crowd watching as if it was a show. I never thought I would see such a disgusting sight on my first day here."

The two men looked over, the first spoke "it is your first day in the capital? Hahahahaha…. you decided to play hero while looking like a mummy. This is really hilarious."

The second man continued, "Do you have any idea what you are messing with? Now drop on your knees and apologies and then we might allow you to have a turn."

The crowd who were enjoying the show earlier started laughing as they knew the end of those who opposite these two, to them Garou deserved the ending he was going to receive. On the other hand, the rest felt pity for Garou, they believed his ignorance will destroy him.

Garou started laughing like a mad man making the two frown. The first man spoke "Bastard, what are you laughing at?"

Garou stopped laughing, but he gave a bloodthirsty smirk "Originally, I planned to castrate the two of you while giving these animals around us a piece of mind. But now, I have changed my mind, I will shred the two of you to pieces, then I will make the rest of these bastards wail" as he pointed toward the crowd.

Garou smirk grew more sinister by the moment as he walked toward the two, who in return froze in fear. Both of them had a terrible feeling about what was going to happen next. Garou really scared them, even the people in the surroundings showed fear. Garou looked downright scary.

The next moment no one realised what had happened, it was hell on the street. The two men who were standing earlier gave a wail of pain as collapsed in a bond of their own blood, their limbs were twisted unnaturally while wounds covering their bodies. On the side, everyone laughed earlier, dropped to the ground. All of them suffered multiple injuries.

Those who didn't laugh remained untouched, but they were terrified after seeing the state of the people. Moreover, they couldn't see what happened. Garou was still standing in his place, while everyone else dropped injured in a very miserable way, especially the two men who started the trouble.

Some of sharper people noticed crack under Garou's foot, these cracks appeared around everyone was injured. A scary thought passed through their minds, Garou was fast enough to hurt so many with no one able to register his movement.

Those who didn't get injured started running away, while Garou looked at children who looked at him with terrified eyes.

Garou said "Why are you still here? You can leave, go back to your home."

The two children didn't ease up hearing his words. Afterall, Garou originally was quite scary and adding his new mummy-like look, he wasn't something children would easily trust or get close to.

However, the boy was brave enough to speak "Sssir, you… w-won't hurt … us?"

Garou moved his arm around, pointing toward the people groaning in their blood all over the place then said "If I wanted to hurt you, you would have been lying alongside them."

The boy gulped in fear while the girl was crying by now. The boy took the girl's hand and was about to leave when he stopped and looked at Garou again. He gathered all the courage he had and said "D-do you fight against…. B-bad people?"

Garou raised his borrows at his words, he could see a weak gleam of hope within the boy's eyes. but he still answered plainly "No."

The boy looked down upon hearing him, he didn't dare to speak anymore. However the girl with him gathered her courage to speak as she had an idea what the boy wanted to ask for "S-sir, we.. we are .. orphans... and we esc..aped the orphanage b-because of-f the manger… he is an evil g-guy…. We-we had to run because of him. P-please …."

"Stop," Garou said coldly making the girl, and the boy flinch.

The girl was crying and showing her hopeless-sad eyes, while the boy also looked desperate without any hopes. Garou could tell they both were terrified of him and to gather your courage and speak to a scary person like himself, showed how much the kids were desperate and suffering. He wasn't a hero to help those in need, but seeing them like that left a bad taste in his mouth. He might be evil and merciless, but he still not on the level where he would attack and harm children or those who couldn't protect themselves unless they deserved it. He was a lesser evil in away.

"Tell me, what did this manager do exactly?" Garou asked the children

The kids looked as if they were given life hearing him, they looked at him with hopeful eyes. The boy said, "H-he steals all the money given to the orphans, make us work, and if we don't do well, we will be punished and sleep without food."

Garou thought 'typical.'

The girl then added "As of late, he brought old people to the orphanage where they r.a.p.ed the children, and some of them suicided. Sob..sob.. My friend was one of them."

Garou narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, while boy added "We heard he wanted to sell my sister for a group of old men to toy with her. So we had to escape."

By this point, Garou's eyes had a dangerous gleam.
