Chapter 49: Exposed and Alliance

~Third POV~

Somewhere in the student council room where Satsuki and Tatsumi sat across from each other as he is wearing his Five-Star Goku uniform as Satsuki drank her tea in peace as the same with Tatsumi.

After Tatsumi finished drinking his tea he complements it to Satsuki, "Gulp. Ahh… thank you very much for the tea Satsuki and the privacy now then how about we begin with your questions."

Satsuki didn't beat around the bush as she first asks while bringing out a tablet, "Please do me the favor and show us the proof of the first question of ours?"

Typing on her tablet as the huge screen showed to change an anime that Tatsumi is way too familiar with.

After all, he was in that anime and manga.

What Satsuki showed was the opening of his anime of Akame ga Kill as she drinks her teas as Tatsumi remains calm.

Then Satsuki asks her questions to him without skipping a beat, "Now then care to explain how are anime characters are in the real world?"

Now Tatsumi kept his act together but when he saw the screen he couldn't help but be shocked at how far Satsuki is willing to get any information about him.

But that wasn't all with a snap of her fingers it shows Ruby, Erza, Echidna, and Toga anime opening as Tatsumi was surprised to see how through Satsuki is but is impressed at the same time.

Tatsumi then wonders why was Erza and Echidna were there till he saw video footage of them, and Beatrice being shown around by Mako telling what is around Honnoji Academy making him slap his hand to his face.

Tatsumi seeing this could only say one thing in his thoughts, 'God damn it you three… and Beatrice you have some explaining to do.'

But returning to the situation at hand with Satsuki question Tatsumi replies with an honest answer to her, "Yes what you have concluded is correct as in your own words anime characters do exist and we are in your world for a purpose the same as your true goal to destroy the original life fibers."

Satsuki narrowed her eyes but didn't do much but ask another question, "Alright then how about the next one be how do you know my goal I only told this to those I trust?"

Tatsumi took a bite of cookies with his tea responded to Satsuki in a calm voice showing off his [Minya's] magic to her to prove a point, "Tell me Satsuki can you really say that your world isn't an anime from where I'm from? After all, Lubbock does own a bookstore and yours so happens to be in one of them?"

Satsuki just shakes her head in denial as to how Tatsumi obtained that information from that source, "No, I don't believe that is how you obtained my information about my world that simply. No, rather it seems to me you already knew of this world before yes?"

Tatsumi just sticks his tongue out teasing her acting like a kid but answers still, "I can't say for the others but I'll go with a yes but I won't explain on the how. Only I trust people close to me on the show but were getting off-topic here what is it would you like to ask next?"

Satsuki could only frown at this but shakes her head as she goes for the next question, "Let's begin with how you are different from your original counterpart like the magic you're displaying in front of me?"

Tatsumi takes another bite of his treat as he replies to her in a distant voice, "Well you see unlike the original me I was say invited to something beyond my reasoning you could say. That is as much as I can say about the matter."

Satsuki frown at that but she did manage to get something changed but she decided to keep to the topic at hand, "Very well then how about how much you know about me personally and my goals?"

Tatsumi replied with the honest answer to her as he bluntly says to her with a smile, "Let's see how about we begin with that as a child you were inspired to rebel against your abusive mother at a very young age believing that your little sister is gone while in reality, she is alive and well under the care of your father till his untimely death where your little sister believes that you have some kind of connection… do you finally get whose your sister is?"

Satsuki took her time to process the words that came out of Tatsumi's mouth she sipped her tea to calm herself as she came to a realization who the little sister that Tatsumi was referring to is.

Taking a gulp, she says to herself in a calm expression but Tatsumi could feel her emotions conflicted with his Authority of Wrath to tell her emotions, "Ryuko Matoi… is my younger sister…"

Tatsumi heard her as he nodded his head to Satsuki her answer but also gave her another piece of advice while he flinches at the end, "Yup. The girl that challenges you is stubborn as hell is your sister challenging you, I guess that something that your family has. The unbreakable will to do what you want even she knows about you and… your family relationship…"

Satsuki takes her sip of tea as she says to Tatsumi showing no fear or trauma in her eyes, "I wouldn't worry much Tatsumi about my mother relationship… it only fuels my determination further to see her fall."

Tatsumi chuckled at Satsuki response and couldn't help but respect her further, "Ha ha ha ha! Now you have a strong will there Satsuki. I guess that was a reason I can't help but like you. I see that you're strong-headed and determine to see your goals to fruition."

Satsuki took her moment to laugh a little at Tatsumi about the person that could ruin her plan was praising her, "He he he… now that is a bit funny. A person who I thought would get in my way is praising me about my will I can't help but say I'm faltered here."

As soon as Satsuki was done laughing, she asks Tatsumi an important question about her plan to kill Ragyo like in the anime, "Since you have future knowledge and know about my relationship does my plan come out how I saw it to be?"

At this time Tatsumi shakes his head and gives her a heads up of what to expect, "No it backfires hard. Your plan to have the students wear the Goku Uniform backfires badly as Ragyo turns them into mindless slaves to her biding with her [Life Fiber Manipulation] to control their brains. And the bomb inside your home to blow up the original life fibers…"

Tatsumi expresses a grim expression on his face to Satsuki how badly her plan will fail hard as she absorbs the information provided then expression changes to disgust at the end, "You see these things have an insane regeneration factor to consider that human-made weapons like explosives aren't going to cut it as well as make a complete capture of you to further dominate you as that sick perverted mother is prone to do…"

Satsuki takes in the information given as she drinks another cup of tea with a side of crackers to go with it but Tatsumi wasn't done yet as he says to her, "But another key fact of your downfall was the supposed actions you took. Following the steps of your mother's way isn't going to lead you to victory that you want but defeat."

Satsuki just drinks her tea in peace as if the words of Tatsumi didn't matter in the slightest as this caught Tatsumi's attention.

Tatsumi then asked Satsuki his question as to why she doesn't seem to be more concerned about her fate, "Say Satsuki you seem to be very calm knowing about this and my words haven't you thought any of my words were lies or simply accepted them as the truth."

Satsuki replies to Tatsumi's answer as she says to him with a sly smirk, "You already shown me proof of your words and you have kept your words to our agreement. Like you said since you know how this plays out, I have no doubts that you will try to avoid or crush the original path of this world intended correct?"

Now it was Tatsumi who was embarrassed as he originally didn't want to spend that much time to the anime facing Ragyo at her full power but cut her off of the source at the big fight with her being crucified.

Tatsumi laughs nervously as he replies to Satsuki's response, "Well you got me there. I have no intention of letting the story follows as intended and have my friends be in harm's way."

Satsuki nods at Tatsumi's words as he says to her a request, "If that is the case, how about I request from you a way to destroy the original life fibers. Since you don't belong to this world then you have different means to get rid of it yes?"

Tatsumi could only nod his head as he has his [Black Flames] or [Blackhole] to rely on to take care of them with magic instead of science.

But it was at that moment that Tatsumi requested to Satsuki a reward, "Alright just tell me when Ragyo is at Honnoji Academy then I will take care of the original life fibers, but I will discuss this with the others and what about a reward?"

Satsuki next responds in a calm and determined voice to him, "Anything that is within my power I will do."

Tatsumi smirks at this as he can use this to invite Satsuki to their group but that was when Satsuki stood up as she says to him, "With that done with I have all the questions I have asked at this time so take care Tatsumi. Also, I will be sure to tell you when you go to Ragyo home is when the time is right. Till then I will stick to my role till the time is right and tell Ryuko I will take her challenge tomorrow."

With that, they both left on those terms as Tatsumi was now walking home to his apartment thinking how Echidna and Erza came without telling them as he asks them what is the problem.

As soon as he gets to the apartment, he enters inside to see food perfectly well done to see the worried faces of everyone inside except for Echidna and Ryuko.

Echidna just nods happily for Tatsumi's return as Ryuko has a serious glare at Tatsumi.

As he sat down, he noticed that Erza, Ruby, Beatrice, and Toga were sweating a bit under Ryuko's glare towards them.

When dinner was served by Echidna was done Ryuko was the next to respond to everyone at the table in a confused and angry voice, "Ok then… can someone please explain to me how anime characters of different worlds are here in reality?!!"

Tatsumi sighs at this as he has to explain everything to her like Satsuki.

Today was a tiring day for him.
