Lay out Strategies 2

"You have my Athenaeum organisation's service; they'll help you whenever they can. In addition. The assembled weapon crates, the spy network, the informants, and the police under the payroll, you can use them all, however, but don't forget about we agreed upon."

Once Akagi passed through the Auditorium, confronted by Misaki, leaning against the same wall, nonchalantly reminded Akagi of her role in his plans and offered abundant amount of efficacy, in return for him to do something.

"The new Supreme One just killed one of my best assassin and loyal subordinate, and publicly leak the information to provoke me, his prime target is me. With Athenaeum on standby, became anxious, restless every minute, as the Imperium Police sniffing like drooling dogs, and the bounty on my head on the internet, it's a matter of time. I be either get shot or get delivered to the military, as they deport me to the Mutant Prison in island-city 7 unless I don't get executed on sight."

"What will you do get out of the Imperium States? You know, the Valhallal Lords will hunt you down in Hong Kong or any place you think its safe. Either the Mutant Lords or the Brittonia Empire themselves. Apparently, you pissed off every single one of them. After you ordered your men to massacre every Brittonian law enforcement agent in Brown Zone. Sorry, but you running out of time and options. A fantastic magic-based mythical pocket dimension like Caledonian Royal Palace is the safest place you can find."

Akagi countered all her alternative, snarky tone, made Misaki even more anxious.

"I don't care about that. Just get me out of this mess, you're the only one who have that kind of muscles to counter Imperium's strict policies. I don't care about you, your ideals or RMS's ancient traditions. I only want resume the businesses once I am out from Imperium's jurisdiction, before Kyousuke Ichiro destroyed my empire I had build so far!"

"... Just listen to yourself for a moment, see how you selfish you sound?"

"..."

He took a side glance and response which paused Misaki momentarily, speechless as well, realised how hurtful she sounds, saying all of these. However, Akagi didn't get offended of Misaki's abusive rants, fully understood her problem and quoted philosophically, temporarily ease her worries.

"Abandon your men, discarded your existence. Running away isn't the solution. You can't outrun your fate, if don't embrace it, it will find you and tear you down and it will gonna hurt."

"...Then what should I do?"

"That's a fair question, and I have several scenarios that you may be slipped through the Brittonia border authority undetected. But most importantly: do you trust me with your life?"

"Eh? W-what kind of scheme you are playing Shinsuke?"

Because of Akagi affably pleaded to Misaki, overly affectionate towards her while she been helpless, she began doubting his intentions, thinking his politeness is part of his scheme to take advantage of her.

"I'm not playing any schemes, just wanted to help you that's all."

"Humph. If you think playing a noble gentleman would win me over then you're dead wrong. I know what kind of a man you are.... You have the highest authority among Mutant race, why would you help me then?"

Regardless Akagi didn't have any ulterior motives, beside helping her, Misaki is convinced he is trying to exploit her helplessness, manipulate her complex feelings towards him.

Wasn't the first time someone came to Misaki, offer help during her dark times if she agrees to sleep with them. Because she was so beautiful many men eager to help; Thanks to her creamy pale skin and tough tomboy attitude, she is still considered the most beautiful woman in Athenaeum. However, disturbingly in the world, her appearance and gender cause nothing but grief for her: during years of her rising, countless men came as benefactors, tried to deceive, blackmail, even downright threat her to have this beauty, but since she has developed ridiculous ripped body: having strong, well-developed muscles that can be seen through the skin, capable to decapitate someone's head with a single strike Misaki can defend herself effectively. Latter, she holds a deep disdain for those kinds of people.

Nevertheless, all her overestimating sense of insecurity, distrustfulness regard with contempt vanished after to Akagi's modest quote, took a deep puff of compassion.

"At least I only imagine what kind of anxieties you been suffering. I assumed in past years have difficulties trusting anyone. have been involved in distrustful men. But I will promise you: I will give you what you desire. I'll keep that promise or should you choose otherwise meantime keep you alive and free. In return, I don't want anything from you, even your assistance from organized crime syndicate, you did enough."

Harder to believe despite being an immoral evildoer, a cruel, sadistic mass-murderer and a terrorist, Akagi still has a very polite demeanour, seductive aura of charming pleasantries which crack Misaki's frigid façade of a personality unknowingly. She always has a soft spot for Akagi Shinsuke, from their time in Friendo's, and she aware it, no matter her conscience refused to believe it.  

Eyes widened with satisfying shock, blushed as the intense sense of entice overwhelmed her conscious with certain joy; Akagi is possibly the first person that has ever truly cared for her, despite he's the most powerful Mutant Emperor, have all the upmost powers and pleasure in the world. Even though Misaki could be a valuable asset, Akagi consciously denied that, wanted her to get away from the country, even with a little discontented, "it's for the best" that was his expression when he said, and it appears that she reciprocates at least some of these feelings as she impulsively smiled in happiness and kindly teased him, wiped her fallen tear at side. As she followed Akagi towards the next chamber.

"How about a suitable little spouse? I think I could manage it for you to tuck on bed every night, as a compliment of appreciation." 

"Heheh very funny... Even sometimes I need to do what's necessary to improve our righteous decency without any personal desires distrustful and no. Don't need any consort. Anyway, there's someone we need to rescue: Miyoshi Nagako."

Miyoshi Nagako (Young orphan mutant girl, long light-blonde hair, blue eyes, nurtured by Misaki herself like a younger sister, unfortunately went separated by tragic circumstances.)

When Akagi mentioned her name, Misaki's cheering demeanour changed drastically, recalling the incident after their temporary reunion. Went into grim silent of depression.

"Yeah... After so many years. I saw her, all grown up, been involved with the RMS. It's my fault Brittonia took her."

"So... I've heard. Apparently, she been transferred into Raizen Supermaxim previous month."

"We need to save her! Who knows what kind of horrible things she been through?"

"No. Not now. Not until November if we successfully infiltrated the maximum-security mutant prison."

Hearing the consequences, fired up Misaki, advised Akagi to go there, however Akagi denied the idea.

"What!? That's—"

"What I said before, about trusting me? Though it's nice. You're not as heartless and selfish as you pretend to be. Caring for that little girl."

"I don't know what are you saying..."

"Scoffed. Anyway, you must wait until November. Organized my plans, lay out strategies. Deploy new players into the game. As a priority. My Project Recommence can wait."

"Ugh..."

Even didn't like it Misaki have to put faith in Akagi's intrusion, waiting until November to assault the Raizen.
