After opening her eyes, the first thing Kurome saw was Primis face. Looking at it, she fell into daze. Not waiting for her to return to her thoughts, Primis put her down.

Akame: KUROME!!!

The moment he did so, Akame hurriedly hugged her. Kurome returned to herself because of that.

Kurome: Big Sister.

Seeing how Akame was hugging her with trembling body as tears were falling out of her eyes, Kurome became confused.

Kurome: Big Sister, what happened? Why are you crying?

Though before Akame could say anything, Primis interrupted.

Primis: Let me show you why.

Kurome: Huh?

When Kurome raised her head and met with Primis eyes, Primis used illusion to show everything that transpired. After witnessing everything that happened, Kurome's eyes also became moist as she hugged Akame back.

Kurome: Big Sister *sob* I am sorry *sob* You suffered *sob* so much *sob* because I *sob* died *hic* *sob*

Hearing this, Akame startled. Then she came to conclusion that Primis somehow told Kurome what happened.

Akame: It's all in past, Kurome. *sob* Now you are back. That's all that matters.

Kurome: Um.

Primis let them have some sisters time with each other and put his attention on other things.

'Primis: Skarmory, Nidoking, and Tauros.'

[Excadrill, Slowbro, and Haxorus.]

'Primis: Hmm. Looks like that's all they sent so far.'

[It appears so. Even your Empress made her move.]

'Primis: It's to extract their memories.'

[True. What now? Gozuki, Bill and other Soldiers are making their way here.]

'Primis: I will be gone by the time they will reach here.'

Kurome: Um...

Primis: What is it?

Turning to Kurome who was calling him, Primis asked. Seeing his gaze, Kurome hurriedly lowered her head.

Kurome: T-T-Thank you for r-r-r-r-r-r-reviving me.

Primis: You should know I didn't revive you out of good will.

Kurome: I-I-I know. Still t-t-thank you.

Akame: Yes, me too. Thank you for reviving my Little Sister.

Seeing the gratitude in both Akame's and Kurome's eyes, Primis couldn't help but took a deep sigh.

'Primis: I really am not cut out for this stuff.'

[You should get used to it because you will see such things a lot in future.]

Sighing again, Primis put his hand on both Akame's and Kurome's head. Both got stunned at first before lowering their head letting him pat their heads.

'Akame: I think he isn't as bad as I thought.'

Primis: Now that you both are under me, I am giving you your first mission.

Removing his hand Primis said so. Even though they both showed disappointed expression when Primis removed his hand, they became serious when Primis said he was going to give them first mission.

Primis: First, let me tell you the gist of your situation. The Empire want to make an Elite and Assassination Squads who will carry out their orders and get rid of those who decided to stand against them. Hence, they brought or bought more than Hundred children including you both from all over the Empire and carry out the test of getting out the forest.

Akame: That's why we are here.

Kurome: So, our parents really did sell us to Empire.

Akmae: Kurome.

Primis: You are wrong here.

Akame & Kurome: Huh?

Primis: Your parents didn't sell you. They are dead.

Akame: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kurome: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Primis: Empire burnt many villages, and all the children here are brought from those villages. It was Empire lie that your parents sold you to it.

Kurome: How could this be?

Kurome put her hands on her mouth as Akame hugged her tightly. She was trying her hard not to cry and show weak front in front of her little sister.

Akame: How could they do something like this? There are so many people living in village.

Primis: None of their concern. Humans are disposable. If they can use them then they will use them to their limit, if they can't then they will just kill them and find another one. That's all.

Akame: ......…

Kurome: ......…

Both became silent as they processed Primis's every word. Once they were done, Primis continued.

Primis: Now for your mission. Currently, people who were supervising your test are making their way here. Seeing that you both survived, they will think that you both have potential and will make you join different different group.

Akame: Different different group? Why? Why can't I be with Kurome?

Kurome: Yes, I also wanted to be with Big Sister.

Primis: Too bad, they won't let you. Because if you both remain together, you will be dependent on each other. They can't let this happen.

Both frowned hearing this. Anger could also be seen visible in their eyes.

Primis: Anyway, you mission to provide the information you will get during your stay.

Akame: Ok.

Kurome: Leave it to me, M-M-M-My L-Lord.

Kurome was still not used you addressing Primis as "My Lord". Primis smiled lightly at her attempt. This result in both falling into trance. Crouching down, Primis brought himself to Kurome's eye level. He patted her little head and said.

Primis: Since you are having trouble calling me "My Lord", you can just call be Big Brother.

Kurome: B-Big Brother.

As Kurome was still muttering "Big Brother", Primis stood up. Giving one last glance at a certain direction, he spoke again.

Primis: They are coming so I am leaving. I will contact you both later.

Saying this, a tear appeared in space and the abyssal dark vortex appeared again. Both Akame and Kurome shivered when they looked at it. The vortex appeared to the mouth of darkness which will devour everything. Ignoring their reaction, Primis walked into the vortex, and it disappeared. Both took a sigh of relief confirming that that vortex was no longer here.

Soldier: There are survivors.

In the next moment, they head a sound behind and saw many soldiers rushing towards them.

**

The vortex appeared on same place from where Primis was looking at Gifnora Forest at the beginning. Once Primis walked out, Ophis appeared and sat on his left shoulder again. A minute later Sheng Ming and Ais also returned to his side.

Primis: Good work.

Sheng Ming smiled sweetly while Ais got a bit embarrassed because of praise.

Ophis: Here.

Ophis brought her small hand in front of Primis face. On her hand, Primis saw a group of clouds which were showing many images and were enshrouded with Divine power.

Primis: Well Done.

Saying this, Primis extended his hand forward and touch those clouds.

'Primis: Twilight, all yours.'

[Sure. Leave it to me.]

Soon those clouds were absorbed in Primis's hand.

[The information is too much. I need some time to sort these memories and find the right ones.]

'Primis: Take your time.'

Next, Primis turned and looked at Ais.

Primis: What is it, Ais?

Ais: Huh?

Primis: Your heart is in confusion.

Ais: ......

She remained silent for some time before taking a deep sigh and opening her mouth.

Ais: My Lord, I was thinking about those monsters I fought.

Primis: You mean Pokémon.

Ais: Yes, Pokémon.

Primis: Go on.

Ais: My Lord, all monsters are enemy of humanity. It's like they are made specially to kill humans. It's in their instincts to kill us.

Primis: Hmmm.

Ais: In Orario, I had seen many skilled tamers of Ganesha Familia that participated in the Monster Feria. Even though those monsters were full tamed, I can somehow tell that they were suppressing their instincts or urge to kill. Maybe because of contract or they were afraid of their tamers.

Primis: In a way, you are saying that even though monsters can be tamed, they are always looking for an opportunity to attack or escape.

Ais: Exactly. That's the same case with the Danger beasts of this world. However, those pokémons felt rather different. I can tell that unlike other monsters, they didn't have such instincts of killing humans. They appeared very......

Primis: Humane.

Ais: Yup that.

Primis: I see. Let me give you a brief information on Pokémon.

Ais: Um.

Primis: Just like us and Invaders, Pokémon belonged to another world. In that world, there exists only two species. Humans and Pokémon.

Ais: Just like how in our world, there exists many races.

Primis: Well, you can think like that. Anyway, in that world Humans and Pokémons live in Harmony. And almost 90% of Pokémon are friendly towards Humans. Just like how in Orario Human, Cat people, Amazoness and so on are friendly with each other.

Ais: So, that's how it is?

Primis: Yes. Though there are some who uses Pokémon as weapons. Like the trainer who you faced. As for the one that Sheng Ming faced...….

Primis stopped her and turned to Sheng Ming. Understanding his meaning, Sheng Ming spoke.

Sheng Ming: The one I fought was very close to her pokémons. They appeared like a family who understands each other pain and sorrow.

Primis: Now you understand why Pokémons are different from other monsters.

Ais: Yes, My Lord.

Primis then stretched his hand and patted Ais's head.

Sheng Ming: Husband, the one you were fighting?

Primis: He escaped.

Sheng Ming: Oh. I see. I can tell that he is extremely strong.

Primis: Yes, he is. Neither you nor Ais can defeat him unless you both will get rid of World's Suppression.

Sheng Ming and Ais expressions turned serious hearing that.

Sheng Ming: So, he is that strong.

Primis: Though, he is not the only one. There six more who are equally or even stronger than him that came to this world.

Sheng Ming: ......

Ais: .........…

Primis: Anyway.

Removing his hand from Ais's head, Primis moved his attention towards the burning Gifnora forest. There he could see soldiers and others accompanying Akame and Kurome out of the forest towards the medical camps.

Primis: We are done here----

Ophis: Primis.

Primis: Hmm?

Turning to Ophis who interrupted him. He saw Ophis brought another hand in front of his face. There he can see a sphere made of her power. Inside the sphere he could see many pieces of broken chains. He frowned seeing this because he can feel a whole different level of might from it and could feel threat from them.

Primis: This is.

Ophis: These chains were bounding some specific memories in those two human's minds. Even though I destroyed them, I think they can still be useful to you.

Primis: Is that so.

'Primis: Twilight.'

[What is it? I need to some to sort the information from those memories.]

'Primis: Look at this.'

{What?}

'Primis: ......'

[..........]

'Primis: ......'

[..........]

'Primis: ......'

[..........]

'Primis: ......'

[THE HELL. THESE ARE THE DIVINE CHAINS MADE FROM "THAT" GOD POWER. WHERE DID YOUR EMPRESS FIND THEM.]

'Primis: Inside the minds of those two.'

[So, that's how it is.]

'Primis: Yeah.'

[These chains contained the Divine power of "that" God. It can be useful to you but not now. The current can't even handle 0.000000000001% of "that" God. Let alone these chains which contained even more.]

'Primis: I know. But just thought of something. A way that can help be harness this power.'

[Oh. How?]

'Primis: You will know in future.'

Primis: Ophis destroy these chains and turn them to dust. That way it can help me better.

Ophis: Ok.

A glint passed in Ophis eyes, and the pieces of chains shattered into Divine Dust. Nodding his head, Primis put it away.

Primis: Ophis, when we will fight other invaders in future, I want you to extract these chains from them and give them to me.

Ophis: Mn.

Primis: Now then, it's time to go.

Ais: Where we are going this time, my Lord?

Moving his gaze at certain direction, Primis spoke.

Primis: To the capital.

Then space teared and abyssal dark vortex appeared again. Next, one-by-one they entered, and the vortex disappeared. Turning the place silent again.
