Chapter 77 A polite visit, a rude entrance!
"Alright, but when you go ask, don't bring anyone else with you."
"Hey, aren't you coming along?"
"Leaving aside Esdeath and me, the others who go with you will most likely only become a burden."
While Akame and the others did gain some experience in fighting others due to their experiences, they were all very inexperienced in the eyes of Melard, the successor of the assassins.
They can handle ordinary battles, but going head-to-head to the city lord's mansion in Bosil City to provoke them is not an option, as they don't have invulnerable bodies like Broly.
If they really went, some of them might die, or even all of them might die. Merad didn't want these lovely girls to die.
"But I'm not going to fight, I just want to ask some questions."
Broly said.
"But what if, after you ask, the person you ask says they'll cause trouble? What will happen then?"
Melard countered with a question.
"I'll take care of the trouble."
Broly answered seriously.
"That solves it. You're going to deal with them, so they'll definitely resist, and then you'll start fighting."
Others aren't as resilient as you; they can withstand bullets without breaking through your defenses.
"If anyone gets hurt or dies then, how will you feel?"
Merad's words made Broly think. He suddenly realized that Akame and the others were much weaker than himself.
"I would feel angry and sad."
Broly thought about it carefully and then answered.
"Thank you, Melard, I know what to do."
He thanked them sincerely.
"So, I'll go with you."
Esdeath said this, indicating that she was ready to hunt down the city's master.
"No, Esdeath, you stay too, and Merard, you are not allowed to come along either."
Broly directly rejected Esdeath's colleague's suggestion.
"I didn't plan to go either."
Merad muttered to herself that, having learned of the boy's strength, she wasn't worried about Broly's safety.
"Let me come with you, I'll take good care of myself."
Esdeath, in order to participate in the battle, actually started acting cute towards Broly.
But this tactic didn't work on Broly; even though her happiness level dropped, she still wouldn't agree.
Broly could still distinguish between certain happiness stats and the difference between the other person's total happiness stat of over four hundred.
However, Broly still felt a little sad seeing Esdeath's happiness level decrease after being rejected.
After thinking for a moment, he said to the girl from the north, "Esdeath, you said you were my possession and would obey me. Now I order you to stay in a safe place and not come with me. Don't you want to obey me?"
Esdeath: "..."
A boy who firmly orders himself to stay in a safe place and cares about his own safety seems pretty good too!
"Fine, you're better than me, you're in charge."
Esdeath's happiness level is rising.
"?"
Seeing Esdeath's dejected expression, and then looking at the information from Crystal Palace that her happiness level was increasing, Broly slowly typed a question mark.
After settling his friends at the bookstore, Broly went alone to the city lord's mansion to ask questions.
. . . .
"Hello, I'm here to see Marquis Bosier."
Broly arrived at the city lord's mansion and politely addressed the guards on both sides of the gate.
"Um, may I ask who you are, young master?"
Seeing that a boy dared to address his lord, the Marquis, so casually, the two guards at the city lord's mansion did not dare to neglect him. One of them cautiously inquired about Broly's identity.
Broly was rather simple-minded, and when someone asked him about his identity, he honestly answered them.
"My name is Broly, and I am the one who solved the problem of Tvina's younger brother, the most beloved woman of Marquis Bosier."
"Oh, so he's Ms. Trevina's brother."
The guards at the gate were filled with respect; she was a lady who could potentially become the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.
"Wait, what did you say, the Solver?"
But he quickly realized that there seemed to be something wrong in Broly's somewhat awkward words.
"I'm not her brother; I'm the one who killed him. Before he died, he told me that she and Marquis Bossier would come after me for him, but I didn't quite believe him, so I came to ask Marquis Bossier and Tvina if they really would."
Broly explained again.
"..."
After some contemplation, the two guards at the gate figured out the true meaning behind Broly's words.
"Damn it, you little brat, you dare to play us for fools!"
One of the guards immediately became enraged and kicked at him.
"I'm not kidding you. I really want to ask those two whether they're going to cause trouble."
Broly easily blocked the guard's kick and reiterated his purpose.
"Damn it, this guy's not simple, quick, help him!"
The guard tried to pull his foot back, but couldn't, so he quickly told his companion.
"Damn it, let go!"
Another guard raised his gun, aimed it at Broly's head, and yelled.
"oh."
Broly was obedient and let go of her hand.
"Oh dear~"
The guard, who was trying to pull his leg away, lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
"My butt hurts so much, you damn brat, I'm going to kill you!"
Enraged by the fall, the guard rubbed his backside, got up, and drew his sword.
"He's just a prankster kid, there's no need to kill him."
The guard with the gun, however, felt a pang of pity and began to offer words of advice.
"Nonsense, it wasn't you who got hurt, it was me."
However, the guard with the drawn sword didn't want to hear anything; he just wanted to kill this brat who had tricked him and made him fall and embarrass himself.
"Bang!"
Unsurprisingly, the man was kicked away along with his knife, and the gate of the city lord's mansion was smashed open by the flying guards.
"I only wanted to ask Marquis Bosier some questions, but you tried to kill me. You're a despicable fellow, but I've already kicked you once, so we're even."
Broly spoke to the guards who had fallen to their deaths on the ground, then turned to look at another guard who had raised his gun to point at him.
"You're not going to try and attack me with your toys, are you?"
Broly's question silenced the surviving guards.
The young guard was terrified. He had only been a gatekeeper at the city lord's mansion for a short time, and he never expected to encounter something like this.
A senior gatekeeper, whose opponent was much stronger than him, was kicked to death just like that.
Fear made the young guard stiffen, and in the end he didn't fire a single shot, watching helplessly as the boy who had killed his companion walked into the city lord's mansion on his own, muttering that he was going to find the marquis inside.
"Assassins have launched a surprise attack on the city lord's mansion!"
However, not long after Broly went inside, the young guard quickly called out from outside.
But by this time, there was no need for him to shout anymore, because the sounds of fighting had already begun to rise from inside the city lord's mansion.
