Chapter 192: Gozuki
Ryuu was quietly returning to the camp, carrying medicines and a set of spices in his hands. He only controlled the path he was following with the edge of his mind, devoting himself entirely to reflection.
Interference in the canon led to an unpleasant chain of events. Did Ryuu consider himself guilty? Only partially. By his appearance in this world, he has already changed the usual course of things for this universe. And Ryuu certainly wasn't going to run and control every step of the main characters of the canon. Let fate decide everything.
Today, fate decided that Main would get injured, but fate also decided that Ryuu would have time to save her. Of course, he didn't want Mein to get hurt, but because of this, he's not going to stop getting into the canon. What happened was just an unfortunate combination of circumstances and the result of his relaxation and, consequently, short-sightedness.
"Besides, I'm not interested in small bitches..." Ryuu concluded for himself, going out into the clearing, his and Esdes, temporary camp "More guests..." he squinted when he saw that a lean man with medium-length blond hair was sitting next to Kurome, Esdes and Akame.
From the outside, it seemed that they were all just talking nicely, but you shouldn't relax, especially after what happened.
Ryuu immediately used the Emperor's Eyes on him to find out more about the guest. He also activated the Imperial Zone, just in case.

- "Gozuki, Akame's future teacher Strong, bastard. What did you forget at our campfire." squinting, Ryuu thought, mentally preparing for battle
He was not hiding, and therefore was quickly noticed by Esdes and Gozuki himself.
"You're late, Ryuu... Esdes said, slightly displeased.
Ryuu looked at Kurome You said that Akame passed the test, but what about Kurome?
Akame hugged her sister harder, who buried her face in her chest The teacher says that she will go to the second department of murderers
Gozuki shook his head, "Kurome doesn't have your potential, Akame. In addition, your family relations may interfere with your service to the Empire.
"Well, time will rely on your magic voice and its bonuses." thought Ryuu And, in my opinion, it would be better to keep them together. If you look at Esdes and me, it's immediately clear that our bonds only help us in battle. We work very smoothly. Our attacks and movement are perfectly coordinated. This is extremely difficult to achieve even with a friend you trust with your life. As for the potential of Kurome, it is possible that she is smaller, but only by a crumb, she is just younger than Akame, therefore it seems that the difference between them is great.
Gozuki thought about Ryuu's words, and Ryuu knew that all that limited Gozuki were the seven Xingus that were issued by the Empire.
Exactly seven, so it didn't make sense to take more students, it seemed. "These thoughts have a rational grain As for Xingu... I think this issue can be solved, and during training someone can leave the squad forever..." - Gozuki thought a little and turned his gaze to Akame and Kurome, who were sitting with bated breath, waiting for a miracle Well You convinced me. I'll take Kurome as the eighth student
Akame and Kurome hugged happily. The girls wanted to thank both Ryuu and Gozuki, but the latter interrupted them But keep in mind, now I will expect much more from you than from other students. You will have to give more than your best. Is that clear?
Yes, Teacher! the girls answered joyfully, and Kurome began to cry with joy at all
Gozuki grinned and shifted his gaze to Ryuu's contented face And you're a tongue-tied guy, Ryuu. Have you ever thought of making a political career instead of a military one?
Ryuu grinned and shook his head, hung a pot full of vegetables, meat and fragrant seasonings over the fire No, I don't like to lie.
I understand. Gozuki grinned, getting up Well, we have to go.
Won't you stay for dinner? Ryuu tilted his head
No, although your sister said that your dishes compete with those on the tables of the Gods.
Esdes grinned They will be even better!
Well, good luck then. Ryuu shrugged his shoulders
Gozuki nodded, beckoned to Akama and Kurome, and slowly left with them
That's how Ryuu changed the fate of Kurome and Akame. The first one will no longer be drugged and drugged, and the second, most likely, will not have to be torn between her sister and the revolutionary army.
...
The next day Ryuu and Esdes continued their journey.
It was decided to explore the Southern Lands of the Empire.
There were rumors that there live tribes that can transform into various animals and increase their strength many times.
Rumor also said that the past rulers of the southern lands were buried in truly huge crypts with many different treasures.
That is why mercenaries and various adventurers went there in droves in search of wealth and adventures.
On the way, Ryuu will collect the cores of a variety of monsters and experiment with them, finally getting the long-awaited result.
