Late at night, the entire Imperial Capital was strangely silent. Even mosquitoes, birds, and beasts made no sound, a stillness that bred fear in people's hearts.
Ever since Headhunter Zanku came to the capital, pedestrians at night had grown scarcer and scarcer. Today, there wasn't a single person on the streets; everyone had hidden inside their homes by dusk, leaving only the patrolling members of the Imperial Capital Guard.
Akame and Tatsumi walked through the deserted streets, searching for the traces of Headhunter Zanku while avoiding members of the Imperial Capital Guard. After all, the two of them belonged to an opposing organization, not to mention that Akame was a wanted criminal who would be recognized on sight, increasing the difficulty of their search.
