The Assassin asks me various questions as if she has nothing better to do than to dawdle, her arms dangling lazily from the handcuffs.

As if to fill in the blank time, she asks me a trivial question. She seemed to not care much about it, though…

“Are you not popular? From your looks, I’d imagine you’d be popular, but…”

“I’ve never had the chance to meet anyone, let’s just say. I’ve always met strong men, so I haven’t had time to think about love.”

The Assassin seems to be unconcerned and gives a slight nod. The Assassin does not care about what I have to say about my past.

“Have you ever been in love, Assassin? ”

“Yes, I have. I’ve always been flocked with many men.”

“I knew it, Assassin is cute, after all. I can see why guys flock to you. Because right now, I instantly fell in love with you.”

When I compliment the Assassin, she looks embarrassed and tells me the truth.

“That’s a lie. I don’t meet people except for my mission. I’m only being pretentious.”

Love overflows again for the Assassin who tells a stupid lie to me.

I wonder if she is really suited for the job of an assassin when she shows me that even a small lie hurts her conscience.

I think the Assassin should get a different job, a permanent job as my wife.

“So, does that mean assassins are the same as me? ”

“…dunno. ”

“I guess it’s safe to say it’s the first time for both of us. If the Assassin’s a pro, she’ll know I’m not good at this, so it’s fortunate that we can get better together.”

“How many times are you going do that until you get better? ”

“Well, until the Assassin becomes the one that asks me instead.”

“Sigh…”

The Assassin sighs heavily. But she quickly changes her expression and asks me a question. This time she looked a little interested.

“Why doesn’t Sagami do it forcibly? Since I’m handcuffed to the pillar, he should be able to do whatever he wants to me… ”

“You want me to do that? If you want me to, I will. But I don’t want to force you.”

She shook her head vigorously to the side in response to my question. It seems like you don’t want me to do that. Then the Assassin asked a very reasonable question.

“But why…?”

“I want to make love and do it. There’s no point in forcing it.”

“Then you’ll always be a v*rgin, Sagami.”

The Assassin smiled at me. Her unexpected smile gave me a brain freeze.

While I was basking in the afterglow of the Assassin’s smile, the Assassin looked at me anxiously as I was completely restricted in communication.

Then, as if remembering something, the Assassin drawls out the words.

“The most powerful special agent in the world is looking like an idiot. But I’m sorry. Now that I’m not coming back, the government forces will come to kill both you and me.”

“To kill the Assassin too? ”

“If you fail the mission, they will kill you.”

The Assassin looks away with a faraway look in her eyes. Maybe, her comrades have been killed, too. We are living in such a world, so it can’t be helped, but it is also true that it’s hard to take a step forward from the past.

“Well, then, this is what I have to do, isn’t it? ”

I took out the knife I had kept at my waist and stabbed the Assassin vigorously, no, at the pillar that she was tied to. I smile at the Assassin, who opens her eyes wide and looks surprised.

“The Assassin was killed by my blow. Say goodbye to the stupid assassin squad. They couldn’t kill you if they wanted to because she’s dead, okay? Anyway, I need you to be my partner.”

The Assassin’s face became dazed as if she’d been surprised and didn’t understand what was happening for a second, and then she immediately cursed at me.

“…I was wondering what you were going to do out of the blue. Are you an idiot? ”

“If I had to say, I’d say I’m only an idiot for the Assassin.”

“Oh, you really are an idiot.”

The Assassin replied in disgust.
