Unlimited Blade Works of the Raging Dimension 40

Title: A Quietly Unveiled Prologue

An explosion occurred at the Prime Minister’s residence. The news disappeared the next day and spread throughout the imperial capital. It became a topic of conversation among the people in the imperial capital.

Although the people below did not show signs of joy after hearing the news, they secretly applauded, and the young emperor heard that such a thing had happened at the residence of his most trusted Prime Minister, and the courtyard was located within the imperial palace. The young emperor was very angry and ordered General Budo to take full responsibility for investigating the matter and finding out the truth.

Of course, chaos ensued again in the imperial capital. Although General Budo’s swift and decisive actions did not uncover the truth of the matter, public security in the imperial capital had greatly improved.

However, the person involved in all this, Shirou, was completely unaffected. He ate and slept normally. Although he was often attacked by Esdeath at night, he was still able to handle it.

It should be mentioned that since Shirou joined the Jaegers, the city-wide search order had been canceled, and the three girls were also arranged by him to work as maids at the Jaegers’ headquarters.

During the battle between Esdeath and Shirou in the mental world, even the courtyard area where the three girls lived was covered in a snowstorm. Fortunately, although the area was integrated with the mental world, it seemed to be in a different dimension, like a small bubble attached to a large bubble.

In short, Shirou’s life was now very orderly, but the following incident shattered this peace – Dr. Stylish had disappeared.

Dr. Stylish’s disappearance happened so suddenly, and no one noticed it. It was only after not seeing him for two days that the Jaegers realized he was missing.

Hearing this news, Shirou was very surprised. Due to his intentional or unintentional interference, fate had changed a lot. Sheele did not die, her Imperial Arms were not confiscated, and Esdeath also did not hold a tournament, Tatsumi did not join the Jaegers, and it was increasingly impossible for Dr. Stylish to meet Tatsumi, so there was no tracking of Tatsumi to find the Night Raid base. But why did he disappear?

At this time, Run and Bors were reporting the results of their investigation to Esdeath.

“The search of the doctor’s residence has been completed, but... there is no definite information about the doctor’s disappearance. There are only experimental materials and valuable props scattered around the laboratory. There should be no escape.”

“So, he was indeed killed?” Esdeath said it in a calm tone, but her hands clenched unconsciously.

“Judging from the fact that all the enhanced soldiers have disappeared, they must have been destroyed after the battle.” Bors answered from the side.

“Really? I think the only one with this power is Night Raid.” Esdeath pondered, then raised her head and turned to the two of them and said, “You may not know yet. Before he disappeared, Stylish had borrowed all the reports about Night Raid from the intelligence department.”

“Oh, so it seems he was killed while searching for the Night Raid base. He didn’t even have time to contact each other.” Run came to a conclusion based on the available information.

What they didn’t know was that Dr. Stylish had indeed found the general direction of the Night Raid base based on previous intelligence, and the people who had just been transformed into enhanced reconnaissance types, and they finally found the Night Raid base.

Just as they were mourning the death of Dr. Stylish, another news came that traces of Night Raid had been found.

“Captain, people believed to be members of Night Raid, Akame and Mine, were seen on the eastern streets.”

The book in her hand was closed, and Esdeath stood up and walked towards the door, her orders echoing in the room.

“Call all the Jaegers!”

❂❂❂❂❂

At this time, in the forest outside the gates of the imperial capital, several figures watched Esdeath and her group leave the city.

“That’s the Jaegers group, a total of seven people, riding horses towards the east.”

The paper and pen in her hand slid quickly, and brief and concise information appeared on it.

A few minutes later, a hawk flew out of the bushes and flew away.

On the other side, Najenda, who received the information, looked at the information in her hand.

“All the Jaegers have been dispatched. Seven of them? As expected, Emiya Shirou has also joined the Jaegers. It seems the information is correct.”

Closing the information in her hand, Najenda rubbed her eyebrows, and a little worry crossed her mind.

‘Recently, the Jaegers have become a great threat to us. Although there have been no casualties, Emiya Shirou has joined the Jaegers, and Bullat on our side can no longer fight. Considering the difference in combat power, although we have added two new members, it seems he is the only one who can be relied on to fight Shirou.’

Najenda frowned more and more as she pondered in her heart. Honestly, if the Jaegers’ actions had not been too frequent recently and they had even almost been caught by the Jaegers during several night raids, she would not have rashly confronted the enemy.

‘Fortunately, Esdeath will be delayed this time, and the only ones coming are Shirou and the other half of the Jaegers. We still have hope.’

“The Revolutionary Army’s reconnaissance team has sent a message. You should pretend to go out for a walk today as planned.”

“Understood!”

Mine and Akame in their swimsuits responded. The battle was near, so the members of Night Raid went out to calm their tense nerves. Coincidentally, there were mountains and water here, and the environment was very good, so several girls went out to relax. After changing into swimsuits, they had fun, which was a feast for the eyes for Lubbock, a man with a lustful mind but no courage.

❂❂❂❂❂

The next day, the Jaegers also joined the discussion.

“Najenda went straight to the east, while Akame went to the south! According to eyewitnesses, after arriving here, the group split into two groups and left the road.”

“If we go east, we will find the Night Raid headquarters. If we go south, we will find a city closely related to the rebels. Something strange is happening in both directions.” After listening to Bors analyze Esdeath’s words. Although his appearance was intimidating, he had a very meticulous mind.

“Hurry, we will catch up soon, let’s go!”

“Don’t worry.” Esdeath said enthusiastically after defeating Wave. “Night Raid is the assassin of the imperial capital. Since there is no search order in the local area, they appeared rashly and were discovered. Then they were seen by witnesses and split into two teams to depart later.”

“Is this too coincidental? That’s right. It’s most likely a trap, and the target is us Jaegers.” Run answered after listening.

“Najenda is such a person, with a passionate heart but calm in battle.” Esdeath looked at the team members around her and said in a deep voice, “But even if it is a trap, it must be crushed. This is also the key to defeating Night Raid. The perfect time to attack! Seryu, Run, and I will pursue Najenda. Shirou, Kurome, Bors, and Wave will pursue Akame. Follow Shirou’s instructions along the way. Shirou, is this okay?”

“No problem.”

“Make sure to pay attention to your surroundings. It’s okay to retreat if necessary. I won’t force you to fight to the death.”

“Yes!!”

In this way, the two teams, Jaegers and Night Raid, began a real direct confrontation.
