Kaede did not expect that the mission Xiao Mengxue mentioned was actually a cross-world mission. So, not long after she summoned Akame and the others, they were going to be separated again.
However, fortunately, they all understood the situation and didn't throw any tantrums, but those resentful gazes made Kaede tremble a little.
In fact, during the time in akame ga kill, Kaede had told them about leaving; this was not something she could decide.
Then, when they knew that Kaede could take them over, they strongly demanded that she must take them with her, which was why Kaede could summon Akame and the others without any psychological pressure.
At this moment, Kaede, Xiao Mengxue, and Liu Mengqi had entered the mission world, and the captain was naturally Xiao Mengxue.
"Hmm, a mission has come down," Xiao Mengxue said.
"What mission?"
"It's a selectable mission: kill Koro-sensei or protect Koro-sensei from being killed by accidental factors." Xiao Mengxue said after looking at the mission. This was her first time doing a cross-world type mission, but other players had said there would be missions.
It was also the only mission the system would provide.
However, before Kaede and Liu Mengqi could speak, the system's voice rang in their ears.
"A player has already selected the first option; mission selection is complete."
Several people fell silent, looking at that mission to protect Koro-sensei.
"I didn't expect it to be a two-way mission." Xiao Mengxue rubbed her forehead. Having played so many games, she wasn't too surprised by such a mission, and then Xiao Mengxue looked at Kaede and Liu Mengqi.
"What identity did the system arrange for you? I am a manager of a company."
"I am the owner of a flower shop..." Liu Mengqi complained, "Although I understand flowers, I don't know how to sell them."
And Kaede, looking at the identity she was arranged, had a strange expression on her face.
"What about Kaede?" Xiao Mengxue looked at Kaede, who had a strange expression.
"A homeless assassin."
"..." Xiao Mengxue and Liu Mengqi were both silent.
Xiao Mengxue looked at Kaede with a meaningful gaze. She felt that the system's arrangement was based on their situations. Like herself, she was also a manager in reality, although that was her own family's company...
As for Liu Mengqi, although she said she wouldn't sell flowers, she understood most of the flowers in the world.
If this was really the case, then it was thought-provoking.
A moment later, Xiao Mengxue laughed. Why care so much? Whatever Kaede's identity in reality was, it was none of her business. Now what she needed to know was that Kaede had done a kindness to Cloud Moon, and knowing this was enough.
"Found it." Kaede, who was flipping through her phone, finally held it up. On it was an assassination mission, and its target was none other than Koro-sensei.
"A... octopus?" Xiao Mengxue and Liu Mengqi stared at the phone screen for a long time before they reacted.
"Koro-sensei, currently working as a teacher at a certain school, poses a huge danger to the world, bounty 10 billion yen..." Kaede looked at the introduction. Even she, who had always taken money lightly, was a little amazed by this number.
"10 billion yen?" Xiao Mengxue and Liu Mengqi both blinked. Even if the money here was worthless, this number shouldn't be a small one.
"This octopus shouldn't be simple." Kaede looked at the octopus on the phone and said, after all, with this bounty, it was still alive.
However, mentioning an octopus, Kaede thought of her younger sister Akame.
If Akame came, she would probably be very happy, because Kaede knew that Akame's favorite thing to eat was grilled octopus...
"Um, Kaede." Xiao Mengxue suddenly said a bit embarrassed.
"Hmm?" Kaede suddenly had a bad premonition.
"That, it seems the task of approaching that Koro-sensei can only be left to you." Xiao Mengxue was also a bit embarrassed.
"..." Kaede was silent.
"Liu Mengqi and I have no reason to approach that Koro-sensei; only you have a reason to be by Koro-sensei's side." Since she had already said it, Xiao Mengxue let go and explained the reason.
"Alright." Kaede did not refuse, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.
"Hello, who is this?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Withering."
"..." The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then continued: "The third-ranked assassin?"
"Yes." Kaede continued, "Arrange a student identity in Class 3-E for me, can you?"
"Can do. What's your name?"
"Kaede."
"Got it. You can report here tomorrow. I am Karasuma Tadaomi."
"Hmm, got it." Kaede nodded and hung up the phone.
"That's it?" Xiao Mengxue asked with some surprise.
"Hmm, that's it. How much trouble did you think it would be?" Kaede shrugged her shoulders.
"..."
Xiao Mengxue and Liu Mengqi were speechless. Shouldn't they have to find a suitable identity, then go find the principal over there, and pay some money to enter the school?
Hmm, one phone call solved it.
In fact, Kaede was also sighing. The world's third-ranked assassin, hmm, this identity seemed really useful.
On the other side, there were also three players who chose to kill Koro-sensei. In fact, they didn't know who Koro-sensei was either, but in their minds, killing was definitely much simpler than protecting.
However, what they had to do first was to determine who Koro-sensei was.
And Karasuma Tadaomi was also preparing an identity for Kaede at this time. He was looking at Kaede's identity introduction.
Withering, real name unknown, gender unknown, the world's third-ranked assassin, mission success rate 100%. No one has seen her true face. Unlike the Reaper, who wears a mask, anyone who has seen Withering's face has disappeared. Her scope of activity is worldwide. She seems to be proficient in all languages.
In fact, what Karasuma didn't know was that people who came from that game could all be said to be proficient in all languages, because language was no longer an obstacle for them.
Although Karasuma knew that sooner or later these assassins would make a move, because 10 billion yen was enough to make those guys green with envy, Karasuma still didn't expect that such a behemoth would take this mission so quickly.
Moreover, as a soldier in the country, Karasuma really didn't have any good feelings for assassins. If it weren't for the more serious problems they were facing, Karasuma probably wouldn't even have bothered with Kaede's request.
"Judging by the voice, the gender should be female." Karasuma thought as he filled in 'female' in the gender column. A girl ranked third—it really wasn't easy, Karasuma lamented once again.
However, Karasuma would never have imagined that the arrival of the world's third-ranked assassin was not for the purpose of killing Koro-sensei, but to protect him.
If Karasuma knew, he would probably slam his head against a wall. How could someone play with people like that?
