This is understandable.

The turmoil in all directions is the fundamental reason why Night Raid was able to cause trouble internally even when manpower was scattered throughout the capital.

however……

The biggest difference from the original work is that the main villain, Minister Ernest, who is involved throughout the entire plot, is dead!

So, do people in the capital think this was a night raid?

Will Night Raid be given a higher priority, perhaps even becoming the top priority target from the very beginning, compared to other alien races?

Another question is, if Ernest dies, will the emperor of the empire continue to exploit the people as before?

It should be understood that the root cause of the turmoil in the empire was the young and ignorant emperor's excessive trust in the treacherous minister Ernest, which led to the oppression of the people.

If a minister dies, will the anti-minister faction rise up? Could it even awaken the emperor and lead him to become a wise ruler?

All of this is possible, because he demonstrated this potential after the final battle but before the emperor was executed.

He was not a tyrant, but a foolish ruler who was misled by treacherous officials.

Now that the treacherous minister is dead, will he still be a foolish ruler?

If this happens, the exchange match will become even more complicated.

Unlike external invasions, the most fundamental reason why a rebellion and usurpation of the throne can succeed is... the incompetence and foolishness of the monarch.

Perhaps they could use violence to force their way to success, but... they are reincarnators, and they are subject to the conditions for victory!

Without the past hardships and suffering, who would recognize your usurpation of power out of nowhere?

Without significant changes, the people are more willing to rely on past experience and trust the old emperor, and will feel distrustful of the new emperor, at least initially.

……

With the intervention of the reincarnators, this "Slaying Sisters" instance has become even more complex and complicated, requiring consideration of many issues.

After explaining her analysis, Fan Xinxian rubbed her temples and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Kongse: "What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless."

Lin Yifang: "Big Brother said we can act freely. Since you have your own ideas, then we'll follow your orders."

Fan Xinxian: "..."

"Um, Sora, right? You said your performance in the Holy Grail War should have been outstanding, don't you have anything to add?"

Fan Xinxian finally managed to say something.

"No, I think you're very good at talking." Kongse said seriously, "Don't worry, even if something goes wrong, someone will cover for you."

Hmm? Is she talking about herself?

Fan Xinxian couldn't help but think more highly of Kong Se; such confidence... wasn't it a source of strength?

“But if you ask me, let’s join the Night Raid,” Kongse suddenly said.

Fan Xinxian's eyes lit up. Since Kong Se made such a suggestion, she must have thought it through carefully. Now it seems that her conversation just now was just laying the groundwork for this.

That's good. You didn't offer any direct suggestions, saving face for yourself. Now you're just stating your thoughts.

This Kong Se is very good at dealing with people.

Then come on, let me hear your insightful opinion.

"Oh why?"

Fan Xinxian asked.

"A woman's sixth sense."

"..."

Although Kong Se never came to a definitive conclusion, after careful analysis, Fan Xinxian also came to the conclusion that they had joined the night raid.

There's no other reason than that they are currently outnumbered, and the Imperial Capital military base is not a suitable place for them. Secondly, there is a clearer way to join Night Raid: follow Tatsumi!

After deducing this result, Fan Xinxian immediately held Kong Se in even higher regard. It turned out that this woman had planned this all along.

Even if it's just pure sixth sense, it's still very rare. In the cycle of reincarnation, sixth sense isn't just luck, it's also a kind of strength!

With such abilities, it's unbelievable that they're relegated to Class S.

Now that they've decided to join Night Raid, their top priority is to find Tatsumi and travel with him.

This is the key to their intervention in the plot. Generally, the entry point for a dungeon is at the very beginning of the plot, although this is not always the case. If not, then they will have to find another way.

……

A few hours later, they entered the capital, but after searching, they could not find any trace of Tatsumi.

This makes sense, as the capital is too big. In the opening scene, all we can see is Tatsumi's attempt to join the army and start as an officer being rejected. Then, he is tricked into opening a tavern by Leona, a big-breasted woman who can use a lion transformation and a beast-humanized Imperial Arm, who takes all of Tatsumi's money.

Where did Tatsumi sign up for the army? And in which tavern? There are too many places like that in the capital.

"So, only one option remains," Fan Xinxian sighed.

To be honest, if you can just follow Tatsumi, that would be the easiest way, as many steps can be easily skipped.

Now... the best and quickest way for them to make contact with Night Raid is to join forces with Night Raid to assassinate the nobleman who kidnapped Tatsumi!

In the original work, although the nobleman was not mentioned much, at least they knew that the noble lady who took in Tatsumi was named Elia, a girl with short blonde hair who usually liked to take poor people to stay overnight.

Of course, this was only in name; in reality, all the poor outsiders she brought back were tortured and killed.

But at least on the surface, she was a warm-hearted noblewoman.

Having this information makes it much easier to make inquiries.

However, after running for so long, it's almost nighttime now.

Accommodation is their first priority.

As for the night attack, there's no rush. As we can see from the original anime, Tatsumi wasn't attacked on the very night he was taken in; the exact date hasn't been specified yet.

But at least we know that they still have plenty of time.

Perfect timing! He can use this time to think carefully about how to guide Akame and the others, who are members of Night Raid, after they encounter Akame and the others. He wants the three of them to join Night Raid.

You can't just tell someone you want to be an assassin the moment you meet them, can you?

"Right now, we need to figure out how to get some money."

Without money, they even have trouble finding food and shelter.

PS:

PP: I'll be updating both chapters at once. I had this chapter written this morning... but I feel like I'll get killed if I only update this one...

Chapter 150 Contact with Night Raid!

Although they don't have the same skills as before, they have the same initial physical attributes as Tatsumi, so making some money shouldn't be difficult.

Using her supernatural speed, Kong Se managed to steal the wallets of several ugly-looking soldiers, thus solving the problem of food and lodging for the three of them.

During this period, because she did not receive Li Wei's memory neurons, Fan Xinxian remained silent and relied on her own abilities to learn the language.

The next morning, after having breakfast there, the three decided to buy some dry food.

Fortunately, the three-person backpacks weren't all high-tech weapons, otherwise they would have needed to find some handy weapons.

However, since the system restricts the use of items outside the rules, items with special enchantment abilities cannot be used.

"Can't we even use materials that are outside the world's specifications?"

Fan Xinxian discovered that he couldn't take out some of the weapons he had prepared in his backpack, which were extremely sharp and hard.

This means that the equipment they can use is destined to be inferior to that of the main characters in this storyline.

In other words, a Teigu user is a wielder of special equipment!

Shaking his head, he realized that this encounter with the night raid was not as simple as he had imagined...

After they finished packing at noon that day, they set off for Elia's noble mansion.

As a nobleman's residence, it was bound to be guarded by soldiers, which caused some trouble for the three of them. If there were no restrictions, they could use high-tech gadgets to become invisible.

And so, the three of them played hide-and-seek with the patrolling guards in the woods outside the mansion.

That night——

Suddenly, Kongse exclaimed, "By the way, if we hurry over there now, Sayo and Iyeas shouldn't be dead, right?"

Sayo and Ieyasu are the two childhood friends of the protagonist, Tatsumi. When they went out, the three of them were forced to separate because they encountered bandits.

Like the protagonist, they were both tricked by Emily at the mansion. However, unlike the protagonist, who was lucky enough to escape a night raid, they were tortured to death.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifang also realized: "That's right, now that we're here, we can't let tragedy happen."

Fan Xinxian quickly stopped her, saying, "No, now that the minister is dead, the plot is already in a state of chaos. In order to successfully get on board with the Night Raid storyline, it's better not to make any rash moves."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifang immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "Are we just going to stand by and watch someone die?"

Kongse added, "Those two are so pitiful."

Fan Xinxian gave a cold laugh: "I thought you were all so clever, but it turns out you're just all sentimental fools?"

"We're not here to be saints and save people, but for the academy's victory. Do you know the loss to the academy from even one defeat?"

"Admittedly, saving lives does not necessarily lead to our subsequent plans, but we should avoid these kinds of controllable factors if possible."

"The characters in the dungeon are ultimately just NPCs!"

Lin Yifang glared angrily at Fan Xinxian, "You're so cold-hearted!"

"Indifference? I'm just telling the truth," Fan Xinxian said calmly. "You don't want Viagra's withdrawal to be in vain, do you?"

"And if this really leads to a defeat and causes the entire game to collapse, can you take responsibility for that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifang immediately shut up, but his expression still showed resentment.

Kong Se's expression was also not good, and he looked at Fan Xinxian with an unfriendly gaze.

"where are you going?"

Kong Se saw that Fan Xinxian seemed to be leaving.

"I'll go keep watch over the gate."

After walking away alone, memories unconsciously surface in my mind.

Then, Fan Xinxian spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"Damn it, Fan Xinxian, you're not usually such a naive person!"

Despite saying that, Fan Xinxian walked towards a warehouse, which was the place where Ailiya's family had brutally murdered outsiders.

There were four guards at the warehouse, and it was practically impossible to get past them.

"This is going to alert the enemy."

Fan Xinxian scoffed, "Looks like we need to come up with a new plan."

Just as Fan Xinxian was about to take action...

"Damn it, you bastard, you've been waiting here for us?"

Suddenly, Lin Yifang's voice came from the side.

Kong Se, on the other hand, looked at Fan Xinxian with a strange expression.

"Why are you here too? Weren't you supposed to be on guard duty?"

Upon hearing Kong Se's words, Lin Yifang quickly reacted, his gaze teasingly sweeping over Fan Xinxian.

"Oh, I didn't realize you were so bad with directions. How did you manage to get lost all the way here? It seems like it's quite a distance from the gate."

"Fan Xinxian, you, the sentinel, have a serious problem."

Kongse patted Fan Xinxian on the shoulder, "It's okay, we know you're not actually being arrogant. You say no, but your body is honestly here to save people."

"After all, how could someone with a villainous face like you be a saintly good person, right?"

Lin Yifang finally couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Fan, let me show you. The gate is over there. Don't get lost and end up here again."
