Unmei To Shiawase's

Chapter 25 4 Past Life

The full moon is already at the top of the sky tonight. The thick black clouds surrounding him made this night even more gripping. Only the Akame look past looking for prey in the middle of the meadow that separates the two dense forests.

Okino Gilbert, Leona Emilia, Erickson Field, Violetta Charlotte. Name written on their military uniforms. Darkness is taking over the day. There was only the light from the lantern on the dining table.

The slightly dim light added to the gripping impression in the room. The Akames surrounded them and waited for one of their heads to emerge from the old house.

Vio was still sound asleep on the old bed inside the house. While Erick is still in his dream realm on that worn-out sofa. Okino still closed his eyes as he thought of a strategy to get out of the house and stay safe.

Okino and Ema sat side by side on the floor made of old wood and leaned their backs against the door. Okino continued to hold Ema's right hand.

"Ema ... What do you want to do after this is over?" Okino asked with her eyes still closed.

"I want to stay with Okino-sama ... forever ...," Ema replied with a flat face and blank look.

"Ohh .. if I .. maybe I'll buy you as much food .. so you don't get tired of gini, '" said Okino with a faint smile.

"I want to eat chocolate ...," said Ema who made Okino immediately turned to her.

"It's okay .. I'm going to buy you a lot of chocolate," Okino rubbed Ema's head gently as she stood up.

"Erick .. It's time," Okino patted Erick's cheek to wake him up.

"Charlotte-chan ...," Okino did the same to Vio who was asleep in bed.

They both woke up and stood up.

"Basar Gill'a .. I told you not to call me by that strange name" Vio replied to Okino's taunts calling him by last name.

"It's ... let's get together here ...," Okino leads Ema to sit on the wooden chair in front of the dining table.

"Okay ..," Erick rubbed his eyes and sat down the chair opposite Ema and Okino.

The lantern in the middle of the dining table. Old wooden table painted in black. Erick and Vio sat side by side, as well as Okino and Ema who were sitting opposite them. It was like they were double dates.

But this is a battlefield. There is no word of love here. The atmosphere became silent for a moment. Waiting for the chief to say something from his mouth.

"Hmm .. so ... Erick ... Your bullets left four right?" Okino asked with a sharp look coming out of her green eyeball.

"Hmm," Erick nodded slowly.

"Erick .. I want you to take my rifle ...," Okino said with a serious face.

"But? ..."

"I still have a gun ..," said Okino, which made Erick not dare to dispute the request of the chairman.

"Vio .. please take Ema with you no matter what happens ...," pinta Okino.

"Okay .. but,"

"It's me being a distraction," Okino's words that made Erick and Vio's eyes widen upon hearing it.

"Quiet ... diversion does not mean you have to die. .. I promise I will stay with you guys" Okino explained.

"Erick ... shoot four Akame in the farthest position you can .. make another Akame eat his friend you shot."

"If I count this .. one Akame burses our time by about twenty seconds .. and the smoke bomb confuses them for a minute"

"Hmm .. So if we shoot four Akame we get the same time ...," Erick concludes Okino's plan.

"The distance of this house to the opposite forest is about two hundred and eighty meters .. We need more than eighty seconds for sure."

"Let me take care of the rest .. the plan is complete ... Get ready in position!" Okino said firmly as he stood up from his chair.

Erick pointed his rifle out the window and aimed at Akame who was the furthest from their current position. Okino prepared at the door with a gun in her right hand.

As instructed, Vio clasped Ema's hand tightly and stood behind Okino. Erick prepared to pull the trigger of his rifle with his index finger. Now we wait for the orders of the leader.

"Now!!"

Duars!! Duars!! Duars!! Duars!!

Four consecutive shots coming out of Erick's sniper muzzle. Each bullet managed to pierce the body of one Akame. The aim of the shot was not to kill, but to lure another Akame with the blood of the target.

Okino opened the door and led the team to run towards the forest they were headed to. Okino ran the front followed by Vio who took Ai and Erick who ran the rear.

The four of them ran down the meadow in the dark of the night.

"Erick!! .. exchange positions!" Pinta Okino then slowed down his run and exchanged positions with Erick.

At the same time the Akame saw those who were fleeing.

"Graarrkhh!!"

That one Akame shout made many other Akame chase after Okino's squad very quickly. Akame can run two or three times faster than ordinary humans.

As Erick, Vio, and Ema make their way into the forest, Okino stops his steps and turns towards the Akame who are running towards him and ready to pounce on him.

"Gilbert!!!. ... What are you doing!!?!!" erick shouted from behind the tree.

"Erick ... This is Kamikaze operation .. wait for me at Bougenville castle ...,"; it's Okino's words that get Erick wide-eyed.

"Make sure you bring them both safely," Okino took a sharp knife from his waist with his left hand.

"Don't be careless!!!. I wait for you in the castle!!" With a heavy heart Erick again continued his steps to enter the forest.

"Yes ... definitely ... I will definitely return ...," Okino pointed the gun in his right hand towards the group of Akame who were running towards him.

"Ema ... wait for me ..."
