Chapter 304 - Chapter 16: The Millennium Imperial Capital

Emiya shifted his body and cleanly dodged Akame's attack.

Although Akame had no intention of killing him, that didn't mean Emiya was obliged to cooperate. With a smooth step, he evaded the strike effortlessly.

The moment her attack missed, Akame's guard rose to its highest level.

"You're indeed not an ordinary traveler."

Emiya let out a quiet sigh.

"Since you're unwilling to guide me out, I'll find my own way."

Psychic power surged beneath his feet. To Akame's astonishment, Emiya rose straight into the air, flying out of the forest and into the sky.

She watched as his figure shrank into a distant speck, her expression gradually darkening.

Our hiding place may have been exposed...

Akame turned at once, intending to return and warn her companions of Night Raid so they could evacuate immediately.

High above the forest, Emiya looked out over the land.

His gaze passed beyond endless trees and hidden traps until a massive city appeared on the horizon.

A decayed millennium imperial capital.

Whoosh!

Like a bolt of lightning, Emiya shot forward. Forests blurred beneath him, and within minutes he arrived above the capital, landing atop a towering clock tower.

From there, he surveyed the entire city.

There was no doubt-it was luxurious.

After all, this was the capital of a thousand-year-old empire.

What had decayed was not the city itself, but the imperial ministers and nobles who ruled it.

Under the bright sunlight, the capital still appeared prosperous. In terms of scale, layout, and civilization, it was no inferior to Orario, the labyrinth city.

But that comparison only held on the surface.

Unlike Orario, this place lacked elves, beastmen, and the lively diversity that filled the streets with vitality. There was no warmth here-only a hollow prosperity.

As Emiya continued observing, his expression gradually cooled.

Beggars lay scattered along the streets. City guards strutted about arrogantly. Crimes occurred openly, without fear.

All of it ruined his initial impression.

In a narrow alley below, a large man wielding a blade was robbing several young girls.

The girls trembled in fear, hurriedly gathering their money and offering it up, hoping he would take it and leave them unharmed.

This was happening in broad daylight.

The alley wasn't even particularly hidden.

Pedestrians passed by and saw the scene-but every single one chose to look away.

This was the imperial capital.

The fact that robbery could occur so openly, and that no one dared intervene, spoke volumes about how utterly broken the law had become.

No wonder people said this thousand-year-old imperial capital had completely rotted from within.

Emiya sighed.

An invisible psychic hand shot out, slipping into the alley. It seized the man's body and crushed down mercilessly.

Crack-crack-crack!

A series of bone-shattering sounds rang out as the man screamed hysterically.

Half of his bones were pulverized.

Even if he survived and was healed, he would never again be capable of heavy labor.

The girls screamed in terror and fled. One of them, braver than the rest, snatched back the money they had just handed over before chasing after her companions and disappearing from the alley.

Emiya clicked his tongue.

I shouldn't have taken matters into my own hands.

Ideally, he should have captured the man and handed him over to the capital's guards.

But this empire was already rotten to the core.

The so-called guards were hardly better.

If he had handed the man over, who knew whether any real punishment would follow?

So Emiya chose vigilante justice instead.

After that, he moved swiftly through the city, dealing with several crimes he encountered along the way. Once finished, he took out his phone, snapped a photo of the city, and uploaded it to the group chat.

Emiya: "What do you all think of this city?"

Loki was the first to respond.

Loki: "I've never seen this place before. It looks pretty prosperous. Did you go to a new world again?"

Emiya: "That's right. I'm in the world of Akame ga Kill!."

Haruhi Suzumiya: "Akame ga Kill!? What kind of world is that?"

Miyano Akemi: "Judging by the name... is it a world where a lot of girls die?"

Emiya: "Good guess. The plot is extremely dark. The protagonist's childhood friend dies right at the start, the noble girl who takes him in dies, his female companion dies a few episodes later, more companions die after that, and even the female villain who liked him doesn't survive."

Miyano Akemi: "Whoa, that's brutal. Does the author have a grudge against women?"

Emiya: "No idea. But very few good-looking girls make it to the end. One superior survives but doesn't have long to live, one companion sails off alone, and another dies after the final battle."

Miyano Akemi: "..."

Loki: "..."

Hestia: "..."

Haruhi Suzumiya: "..."

Shinobu Kocho: "..."

Nami: "..."

Hayato Furinji coughed lightly.

Hayato Furinji: "That does sound exceptionally dark. If possible, could we read the plot?"

Emiya: "Wait a moment."

He uploaded the plot of Akame ga Kill! to the group chat. Finding it troublesome to upload files one by one, he added more materials as well.

Emiya: "This time I'm in Akame ga Kill!, but I also uploaded info from other worlds. Read them when you have time. For now, focus on this one."

Soon after-

Loki: "Hmm, I've already read it."

Hestia: "Me too."

Hephaestus was unusually excited.

Hephaestus: "Emiya! Emiya! I want to enter this world! Come get me! I want to come over!"

Emiya instantly understood.

Emiya: "You're interested in the Teigu, aren't you?"

Hephaestus: "That, and the Imperial Relics. I really want to know how these weapons were made... and the minerals they used. Orichalcum."

Emiya: "Then give me a kiss, and I'll bring you here."

Hephaestus: "???"

Loki: "???"

Hestia: "???"

Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately chimed in.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Junior, that's not right. You're flirting with a goddess."

Tsubaki: "Oh? Emiya wants to pursue our goddess? If it's Emiya, I think he's a good match."

Haruhi Suzumiya: "Hey, you're not doing this because you think Hephaestus is super easy to get, are you?"

Hephaestus: "...When was I easy to get? I wasn't. I'm not. Don't spread nonsense."

Loki: "Someone who gets conquered with a confession sure talks big."

Tsubaki: "I kind of agree. A confession really is enough for our goddess."

Hephaestus's face flushed.

Hephaestus: "I wasn't conquered! Please stop spreading rumors!"

Emiya nodded seriously.

Emiya: "In a sense, Hephaestus is easy to get. So is Hestia-she was won over with a gift. Are all goddesses like this?"

Hestia: "..."

Loki burst out laughing.

Loki: "Simple people are easy to get. I'd never make that mistake."

Emiya: "Of course you're different. Hestia and Hephaestus were being chased, but you're the one doing the chasing. Do you know what that's called?"

Hestia: "I know! A simp!"

Hephaestus: "Exactly. A simp."

Loki: "I'm not a simp!"

Emiya: "You dare say you're not a simp for Ais?"

Loki fell silent.

After a moment-

Loki: "I'm not a simp. I just like Ais-tan."

Emiya: "Pah. That's not liking. You're just craving her body, you degenerate."

Hestia: "He's right! That's not love, you degenerate!"

Hephaestus: "I agree with Hestia."

Loki: "Wait, weren't we talking about Hephaestus? Why did this turn into an attack on me? Emiya, why aren't you going after Hephaestus?"

Emiya: "No rush. I'm already here."

After sending that message, Emiya put his phone away.

He looked at Hephaestus standing in front of him and smiled brightly.

"So," he said, "have you made up your mind, Hephaestus?"
