Comprehensive Anime: I'm Rias's Childhood Friend Chapter 16 In This World, I Can Do Whatever I Want

"How does it feel to be a Devil?"

Looking at Aka, Ayato asked.

"It feels... really good!"

Aka retracted her wings and tail and gently clenched her fist. "It seems I've gotten much stronger."

She felt she could easily kill her forr self now.

Ayato smiled. "That's only natural. You now have magic power within you."

As he spoke, he handed over a magic book. "Here are so thods for controlling magic power. You can study them on your own."

Ayato had high expectations for Aka.

She was already a seasoned, battle-hardened assassin.

Now that she had beco a Devil, it ant she had infinite potential.

In a way, Aka was currently his strongest servant.

Although her magic power was at the Low-Class Devil level, her combat power was a different matter.

"Aka, are you alright?"

Najenda ca to Aka's side, hesitated, then continued, "Are you... still Aka?"

"Of course I'm Aka."

Aka looked at her questioningly and touched her own face. "Has my appearance changed?"

"Haha, it seems you are indeed still Aka."

Leone looked her over carefully. "Aside from gaining a pair of wings and a tail, there doesn't seem to be any difference."

'If that's the case, becoming a Devil doesn't seem so bad.'

Her eyes darted, and she unconsciously looked over at Ayato.

And looking closely...

He was exactly her type.

"So, Devil-sama, how will you go about changing this country?"

Realizing Aka was fine, Najenda regained the composure of Night Raid's leader and turned her gaze to Ayato.

"Don't worry. Aka is my servant, so her matters are naturally my matters."

Ayato smiled slightly. "The first step to creating Aka's ideal country is to abandon the Revolutionary Army."

Najenda was taken aback and asked instinctively, "What do you an?"

"Because it's corrupt..."

Ayato explained. "The so-called Revolutionary Army is essentially just an alliance of another faction of nobles. Do you expect them to treat the people well?"

As soon as he said this, all three, Najenda, Leone, and Aka, fell silent.

Although they were Night Raid and sowhat independent of the Revolutionary Army...

They had still heard about certain unsavory things.

Even before the revolution had succeeded, the Revolutionary Army had already begun fighting for power and profit.

Before, they had no other choice.

Now, perhaps there could be another path.

Aka said seriously, "Master, what do we do next?"

'She sure catches on quickly.'

Ayato was very pleased with Aka's address.

He said, "First, we make the Empire act according to our will. Building a new country from scratch is too troubleso."

Najenda was thoughtful and said instinctively, "The idea is sound, but how do we do it?"

She had tried the sa approach initially.

But it had failed.

The entire Empire was rotten to the core.

"Whoever dares disobey, kill them."

Ayato's expression was calm, but his words sent a chill down their spines.

In that mashup world, he had tiptoed around.

Here, in this world, he can do whatever he wanted.

...

"So, is it really okay for us to be here?"

Leone looked at the Imperial Palace not far away, the corner of her mouth twitching violently.

Najenda was silent for a mont, then said, "Devil-sama, is this your plan?"

Take control of the Empire.

She had thought there would be so amazing strategy.

And here they were, showing up like this.

Their wanted posters were still plastered on the wall next door.

Four people storming the Imperial Palace... was that for real?

No, two of them were Devils, but the others weren't.

"That's right. Let's go in."

Ayato pointed towards the palace and walked straight over.

With absolute power, you just crush.

Why all the twists and turns?

Look at Superman, that's what his super brain always did.

Leone followed behind Ayato, watching the palace guards who had already noticed them. The corner of her eye twitched.

"Is it too late to change the plan?"

"Aren't you afraid of these small fries?"

"Of course not, but there are too many of them."

Leone looked helpless.

If the Imperial Palace were that easy to storm, Night Raid would have killed the Emperor and the Minister long ago.

"Aka!"

Ignoring Leone, Ayato called out.

"Yes, Master?"

"Clear the way."

"Okay."

Aka, a woman of few words, walked to the front.

That was her way. Once she was set on sothing, she would see it through to the end.

Najenda and Leone's eyes widened, a flash of surprise in them.

'Ayato, this Devil...'

'...was making Aka take the lead.'

'He was simply inhuman... well, he wasn't human, he was a Devil.'

The two exchanged glances and followed behind Aka.

Whatever happened, they wouldn't let Aka face it alone.

"Who are you people?"

"Wait, she looks like soone on the wanted posters?"

"Haha, it's my ti to shine!"

A group of soldiers spotted Aka and the others and beca completely excited.

In an instant, the sound of drawing swords echoed without end.

Watching all this, Aka's expression was calm as she continued walking unhurriedly.

A mont later...

She moved.

Clang!

The cursed sword Murasa was drawn.

The cold, gleaming blade turned into a half-moon, leaving white air rings in its wake.

This single, simple slash had already broken the sound barrier.

Aka, striking for the first ti since becoming a Devil, had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

'I really had beco so much stronger.'

Squelch! Squelch!

Aka's figure moved like a shooting star, passing by dozens of soldiers ahead.

Amidst the brilliant flashes of her blade, severed limbs and blood spurted high into the air.

'So fast!'

Seeing this, Leone and Najenda's breath caught in their throats.

'This was Aka after becoming a Devil?'

'She was terrifyingly strong.'

Unconsciously, they looked at Ayato.

'Then how powerful must this one be?'

"It seems you haven't adapted to your power yet."

Ayato looked at the blood-soaked ground and shook his head. "Against them, you don't need to use that much force."

With Aka wielding Murasa, she only needed to inflict a wound.

That was the most suitable fighting style for her.

"Yes!"

Aka nodded.

Even if Ayato hadn't said it, she was already evaluating her own performance in the fight.

She hadn't expected the human body to be so fragile.

"Quick, mbers of Night Raid have appeared."

"They actually dared to storm the Imperial Palace. How audacious!"

From all directions ca the sounds of battle cries.

As the most important location in the Empire, the soldiers here were true elites, reacting with incredible speed.

Watching this...

Aka leaped into the air, like a shooting star.

This ti, her slashes were noticeably lighter.

Wherever she passed, there were no spurting fountains of blood, only fallen figures.

Behind them...

Watching Aka, like a Valkyrie, Leone and Najenda were stunned.

They could see clearly.

So of the squad leaders among the soldiers, while not Imperial Arm users, were far stronger than ordinary n.

Yet they were still killed with a single stroke.

Moreover,

Throughout it all, Aka's breathing never changed.

As if this kind of killing was as natural as eating and drinking.

Normally, this would be unimaginable.

"So this is a Devil... It actually seems pretty good."

"Leone, don't think about dangerous things."

Even as she said this, Najenda had to admit, she was tempted too.
