Text: 6 Days Ago

Murasaki: To another country?

Shinkurou: Yeah.
Shinkurou: I won't be able to see you on your way home from school for a while...
Shinkurou: Sorry.

Murasaki: Why are you apologizing?

06

Murasaki: You're going for your job.
Murasaki: That's a wonderful thing.

Murasaki: It's true that...
Murasaki: not having you here will be a bit lonely...

Murasaki: B-but I'll bear with it!
Murasaki; I'll bear with it!

Shinkurou: Murasaki...
Tamaki: Don't worry!

07

Tamaki: Leave Murasaki-chan to me!
Shinkurou: That's what I'm most worried about...

Shinkurou: A wonderful thing...
Shinkurou: Huh...?

Shinkurou: Okay!

08

Shinkurou: This is the job Benika-san left to me...

Shinkurou: I have to do it in this country.
Shinkurou: It's the destruction of a slave trade organization.

Shinkurou: For 6 days...
Shinkurou: I've been gathering information on the area mentioned in the file.

Shinkurou: And...

SFX in second to last panel: *hide*

Shinkurou: So this is the place...
Shinkurou: There are three people outside.

10

Shinkurou: Th...

Shinkurou: That girl is...!!

Shinkurou: Ah.

11

Shinkurou: Shit...!!
Shinkurou: What should I do...?
Shinkurou: Should I go back for now...?

Murasaki: Why do we have to run?

Murasaki: Doesn't this make it look like we're the bad guys?

12

Shinkurou: Haaa!!

SFX: Bang!
SFX: Bang!
SFX: Bang!
SFX: Rattattata.

13

Shinkurou: It's okay...
Shinkurou: Hide in here.

SFX in last panel: *fall*

14

SFX: *land*

Shinkurou: Strange.

Shinkurou: With that much gunfire, why isn't anyone coming out?
Shinkurou: For that matter...it's like no one's here at all...

Shinkurou: And...
Shinkurou: What's this smell...?

15

Shinkurou: They're dead...!?
Shinkurou: Was it infighting!?

Shinkurou: No!
Shinkurou: All of them have been decapitated...!!

16

17

Shinkurou: Wha...!?
Kirihiko: Oh, so you dodged it.

Shinkurou: Who is that!?
Shinkurou: Is this who killed everyone in this room!?
Shinkurou: If so, I'm completely outmatched...
Shinkurou: when it comes to killing power...

18

Shinkurou: What should I do...!?

Kirihiko: You're...

Benika: Get down, Shinkurou.

19

20

Benika: Follow her, Yayoi.
Yayoi: Yes, ma'am.

Shinkurou: Benika-san...?

Benika: Are you alive, Shinkurou?
Shinkurou: Somehow...

Shinkurou: M-more importantly, why are you here!?
Shinkurou: Didn't you have another job to do...?

Benika: This is that job.

21

Benika: The person I'm chasing is here...
Benika: A hit man from the "Akuu Company".

Shinkurou: The "Akuu Company"...?

Shinkurou: That's right... That "Tetsuwan" guy was part of that company...

Benika: It's a pretty major company in the underworld that hires people with various skills.
Benika: As long as you pay them, they'll do anything you ask.

Benika: I don't know if someone screwed up or what...

22

Benika: But it looks like someone went to both me and the Akuu Company...
Benika: requesting the destruction of this slave trade organization.

Benika: And I only got the information that this person had been dispatched for this mission...
Benika: after I'd already sent you out.

Benika: This hit man is amazingly skilled.

Benika: I told Yayoi not to take any major risks...
Benika: so we'll have to settle this next time.

23

Shinkurou: What...
Shinkurou: What is this hit man's name...?

Benika: I don't know any details.

Benika: Just that...this person is known as...

Benika: "Guillotine".

24

Sign in 3rd panel: Elementary School

Shinkurou: I'm back.

Murasaki: ...Shi-

25

Shinkurou: H-hey, Murasaki.

Shinkurou: Don't cry...
Shinkurou: What's wrong?

26

Murasaki: It's been a whole week!!
Murasaki: I haven't seen you for a whole week, Shinkurou!!

Murasaki: I was so lonely...

27

Shinkurou: In the end...
Shinkurou: Benika-san saved me on the job again.
Murasaki: Eh?

Shinkurou: Maybe I'm...
Shinkurou: just not meant to be a dispute mediator.

Murasaki: What are you saying?

Murasaki: You saved me, Shinkurou!
Murasaki: And you've saved other people who were in trouble!
Murasaki: Just the other day, you saved that Kirihiko girl!

Shinkurou: That was just a coincidence...

28

Murasaki: Coincidentally saving someone is a wonderful thing!
Murasaki: Don't you think so?

Murasaki: Be proud, Shinkurou!

Kirihiko: Um...

29

Shinkurou: ...Ah.

Shinkurou: Kirihiko-chan!

Kirihiko: Um...
Kirihiko: Here...

Kirihiko: This is my apology.

Shinkurou: "Apology"...?
Shinkurou: If you're talking about the other day, the word you want is "thanks"...

30

Kirihiko: I'm a hit man.

Shinkurou: ...A hit man...!!
Shinkurou: It couldn't be...
Shinkurou: Is this girl "Guillotine"...?

Murasaki: What are you spacing out for?
Murasaki: Let's go, Shinkurou.

Murasaki: Do you want to come, too?
Kirihiko: Eh?

31

Murasaki: We're going to be eating Shinkurou's cooking for the first time in a while!
Murasaki: If we all ate it together, it would taste even better!
Shinkurou: H-hey, Murasaki...!

Kirihiko: I'd be glad to.

Shinkurou: No...that can't be...
Shinkurou: This girl couldn't be "Guillotine"...
Kirihiko: Oh, but I won't help with the cooking.
Kirihiko: When I hold a knife, my personality changes.
Shinkurou: ...probably.

Text in left margin: Friends with a hit man!? With a smile like that, it could happen!!
