Akame ga Kill: Starting with Dual Kamui-Chapter 118: Frying Eggs

When Esdeath announced her relationship with Blayn, the explosive news spread rapidly from the small market.

Since Blayn himself didn't deny it—and given that it came straight from General Esdeath—outsiders were even more convinced. There was no way Blayn could insist that he and Esdeath were merely "short-term lovers" at a time like this... That would be inappropriate.

By now, Blayn and Esdeath had already finished shopping for the necessary ingredients.

As soon as they arrived home, Blayn started preparing breakfast. It was a simple meal: sandwiches, fried eggs, and hot milk. It didn't require much culinary skill, just knowing the steps.

With his Mangekyō Sharingan, Blayn felt as if he had divine assistance while frying the eggs. His enhanced perception allowed him to control the heat and timing with incredible precision, making a noticeable difference from before. The fried eggs looked flawless—perfectly golden and cooked just right.

Of course, appearance alone wasn't enough; the true test was in the taste. But Blayn was confident.

Besides the eggs, the main dish was sandwiches—most of the ingredients he had bought were for them. He was meticulous in his preparation, ensuring each sandwich was crafted with care.

Esdeath watched from the side, captivated by the sight of Blayn cooking so seriously.

"I think I've seen food like this before, but none as refined as yours," she suddenly remarked.

It seemed this world had something similar to sandwiches, but they were nowhere near as sophisticated as those from Blayn's previous life—especially with his obsession with details.

"Maybe it's just because I focus more on the little things," Blayn replied casually.

He certainly couldn't reveal the truth about his transmigration.

...

Once the milk was heated, breakfast was ready.

Blayn took a bite of the fried egg and confirmed that it tasted just as good as it looked.

Esdeath took a bite of the sandwich and was immediately impressed.

"This is delicious! What's it called?" she asked.

"Sandwich," Blayn answered.

"Sandwich... I've never heard of it. Did you come up with it?"

Esdeath had no recollection of such a name.

"No, it's not my invention. It's more like a specialty from my hometown."

Blayn had no intention of taking credit for something that wasn't his.

"I see... Good thing you know how to make it. Otherwise, this amazing food might have been lost forever."

Esdeath recalled that, like her, everyone from Blayn's hometown was already...

...

After breakfast, Esdeath suddenly had an important thought.

She had planned to win Blayn over with her charm, but before she even had the chance to show off, she found herself falling deeper for him instead—thanks to his incredible cooking skills. While that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, she still felt she needed to do something about it.

It didn't take long for her to come up with a plan.

"If I take Blayn hunting for Danger Beasts, he'll be captivated by my prowess in battle!"

Esdeath was confident in this idea. She didn't consider herself skilled in many things, but if there was one thing she excelled at, it was combat. Besides, she recalled that Blayn also came from a border region where people hunted Danger Beasts for survival.

"Blayn, I don't have any plans this afternoon. How about we go hunting for Danger Beasts together?"

She turned to him with an invitation.

However, just as Blayn was about to respond, there was a sudden knock at the door, followed by a voice.

"Lady Esdeath."

Hearing this, Esdeath glanced at Blayn and said, "The Three Beasts are back. This is a good chance for you to meet them."

"Come in."

With Esdeath's permission, the Three Beasts entered the mansion. As soon as they stepped inside, they knelt on one knee before her.

"Lady Esdeath, the first target has been dealt with, and..."

Liver, one of the Three Beasts, paused mid-sentence, glancing at Blayn as if unsure whether to continue.

Esdeath noticed his hesitation and reassured him, "It's fine, go ahead. This is Blayn—the one I told you about."

"Oh," Liver responded immediately before turning to Blayn. "Lord Blayn, my apologies. I didn't mean to be disrespectful."

"It's fine, don't worry about it," Blayn replied in a friendly tone.

Beside Liver, Nyau—who was also kneeling—kept sizing Blayn up, his eyes darting over him with curiosity. If they weren't in the middle of reporting to Esdeath, he would have already started a conversation.

Daidara, on the other hand, had a very different thought process. His instincts told him that this Lord Blayn was immensely strong. If he could defeat him, he'd surely gain a lot of "experience points." However, that thought only lasted a moment. After all, Blayn was Esdeath's chosen one, and offending him would be the same as offending Esdeath herself—something Daidara absolutely wouldn't dare to do.

At this moment, Liver continued his report.

"We also scattered plenty of Night Raid flyers at the scene and made sure no outsiders witnessed the process."

Esdeath nodded in approval. "Good. You can rest for now, as long as all targets are dealt with within seven days."

"Understood. Thank you, Lady Esdeath," Liver said respectfully.

Hearing Liver's words, Blayn remained outwardly composed, his expression steady without any visible emotion. But internally, his mind was racing.

What exactly had the Three Beasts done? Leaving Night Raid flyers at the scene while ensuring there were no witnesses...

His first instinct was that it definitely wasn't something good.

It was obvious—they were trying to frame Night Raid. But that raised a bigger question: who had they eliminated that was important enough to pin on Night Raid?

And judging by Esdeath's words, there were multiple targets.

Blayn ran through the possibilities in his mind and came to a likely conclusion—the victims might be officials from the Conscience Faction.

The Conscience Faction was the foundation for rebuilding after the fall of Honest's regime. If the Three Beasts wiped out what little remained of them, the Empire would be left in a dire state, with no capable figures to lead its recovery.

Although this was just speculation, Blayn knew he couldn't afford to sit back any longer. He had to bring this up with Esdeath—before it was too late.
