Four hours have already passed since the assassin was tied to the handcuffs. It’s getting darker and darker, and I can see the moon shining beautifully through the window.

It’s a beautiful full moon, and I was about to burst into a Natsume Soseki-like “The moon is beautiful, isn’t it? (Tsuki ga kirei, desune) ” but I’ll keep quiet because it might turn into a red moon with my blood.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was already around midnight. The assassin, who had not said a word since she finished eating her yakisoba, opened her mouth.

“Oy, Sagami…”

“What’s wrong, assassin?”

The assassin, who does not show much emotion, turns away from me and looks embarrassed as she pleads with me.

“I want you to take off my handcuffs.”

“I can’t do that. My life is at stake. Only take them off when you’re ready to do it.”

“I’m begging you, please…”

I’m breathing hard. The assassin is definitely trying to take me down. I continue to speak, trying to resist.

“Fuuhh…Trying to fool me with your pretty face isn’t going to work.”

As I say this, the assassin is thrashing her legs. I can see the impatience on the usually cool assassin’s face.

“Please let me… pick up the flowers.” (TN: Toilet)

“Ah, that kind of thing…”

The assassin says in a whisper. But if I uncuff her, she might kill me.

The disadvantages are too great. You have to offer me something to get you out of these handcuffs.

It’s not a win-win situation if I just let her go like this.

“It’s like, there are too many downsides to taking off these handcuffs. Give me something in return to take them off.”

“No way… I can only kill people.”

The assassin looks a little dejected. I wanted to say, “No, there many things you can do.” but I decided to ask her for a favor first.

“Well, then, be my girlfriend.”

After I said this, there were a few seconds of silence. Then she looked at me again and gave me a determined look.

“Okay, I’ll be whatever you want me to be. Just let me go to the bathroom.”

The assassin shook her head vertically. That was enough for me. I uncuffed her and set her free. Temporarily.

“It’s not good to put up with that. I don’t want you to get sick, my future wife.”

“Thank you.”

She thanked me, and the assassin ran to the bathroom. I play the recorded conversation again.

The assassin has agreed to be my girlfriend. Isn’t this already an admission of the act…? But I’ve also heard that this kind of thing is done only after marriage.

I waited for the assassin’s return, thinking about what kind of costume she would wear. Of course, I do this while closing my eyes.

As I expected, the assassin caught my back while I was waiting for her in such a defenseless state. The assassin seemed to have stepped behind me with quick steps.

The assassin puts her arm around my neck. She gets into a headlock position. She seems to intentionally leave me some room to breathe.

“Sagami, what are you doing? You should have killed me. I tried to kill you! What are you thinking?”

“I mean, I told you I want you to be my first.”

The assassin is whispering in my ear. Maybe she’s trying to make me die of a heart attack. As expected from an assassin.

Maybe it’s a honey trap.

“If I wanted to kill you now, I could. But I’m not so ungrateful not to return a favor. I’ll just let you catch me this one time.”

“Maybe assassins are mas*chists? ”

“You, I’ll kill you if you continue to act like this.”

Saying these words, she heads to the pillar. With my right leg wounded, the odds are 50-50 against me and the assassin, and it’s her best chance right now, but she didn’t take it…

I cuff her right wrist once more as she lets me catch her. Then I tell the assassin with a big smile.

“I’m going to catch your heart too later.♡ ”

” ….bleugh.”

There was the assassin in front of me, her face contorted.

How easy it would be if I could open her iron cage-like heart as easily as these handcuffs. I thought.

Our night is still long.
