Text: Kirihiko is a member of the Akuu Company!?

Shinkurou: K-
Shinkurou: Kirihiko-chan?

Kirihiko: ...What's going on?

Kirihiko: Why are you here!!?
Kirihiko: Huh!!?

03

Lucy: Kirihiko-kun.

SFX: Slice

SFX: Flutter

Lucy: Calm down a bit.

Lucy: Are you going to kill your friend?

Lucy: We've gathered a bit too much attention...
SFX: Chatter

04

Lucy: Let's change locations.

Shinkurou: Um...
Shinkurou: You're Kirihiko-chan,
Shinkurou: right?

Kirihiko: I told you who I was...
Kirihiko: a long time ago.

05

Kirihiko: I'm a hit man.

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

Benika: This hit man is amazingly skilled.
Benika: This person is known as...

06

Benika: "Guillotine".

Shinkurou: Why...?

07

Lucy: I'm sorry, Kurenai-san.

Lucy: Thanks to Kirihiko-chan, we have to do this outside.

Shinkurou: W-
Shinkurou: Wait a second. Um...
Lucy: Now, let's get down to business.

Shinkurou: Kurenai-san.
Shinkurou: We need you to take an entrance test.

Lucy: Look at this picture.

Shinkurou: ...A test?
Shinkurou: Do I have to find her?

On picture: Shiguhara Ritsu

Lucy: No.

08

Lucy: You have to kill her.

Lucy: You're first kill.

Lucy: That's the test we want you to take.

Shinkurou: Why do you want me to do that?

Lucy: Everyone who is a part of the Akuu Company has to have killed someone.
Lucy: So we need you to meet that requirement.
Lucy: That's all.

09

Lucy: But make no mistake.

Lucy: We don't encourage murder.
Lucy: There's nothing better than for no one to have to die. That should be obvious.
Lucy: But just in case!

Lucy: We can't have you hesitating if it needs to be done.
Lucy: We want people who will carry out the best course of action without hesitation.

Shinkurou: So you want me to kill the girl in this picture?

Lucy: Yes. This was actually supposed to be Kirihiko-kun's job.
Lucy: But look at her...
Lucy: she's strong.

Lucy: This job looked a bit too easy for her...
Lucy: so we thought it would be perfect for your test.
Shinkurou: I can't do this.

10

Shinkurou: I can't kill someone...
Shinkurou: for the sake of a test.

Shinkurou: It's true I learned techniques for killing people at Houzuki.
Shinkurou: But even so...
Shinkurou: killing someone just to have the experience is ridiculous.

Shinkurou: I'm sure Kirihiko-chan...

Shinkurou: doesn't actually want to do this either.

11

Shinkurou: The Kirihiko-chan I know...
Shinkurou: wouldn't...

SFX: Whoosh

SFX: Thoom

SFX: Thud thud...

12

Kirihiko: Pathetic.

Kirihiko: Don't use...
Kirihiko: such pathetic excuses after coming this far.

SFX: Swipe

Kirihiko: Her name is Shiguhara Ritsu...
Kirihiko: She looks about 17 or 18 years old.

13

Kirihiko: I don't know who wants to kill her.
Kirihiko: And I don't know what irrational or disgusting reasons they have for it.

Kirihiko: But...
Kirihiko: That doesn't matter.

Kirihiko: I don't give a fuck.
Kirihiko: I'll do it.

Shinkurou: K-
Shinkurou: Kirihiko-cha-...!!

SFX: Whoosh

14

SFX: Stab

Kirihiko: Once you've heard about an assassination job...

15

Kirihiko: you can't just say no and that's that.
SFX: Squeeze

SFX: Wham

Lucy: K-Kirihiko-chan!!
Lucy: I told you not to kill him!!

Shinkurou: Eh?

Shinkurou: I'm not bleeding...!?
Shinkurou: And there's no wound?

Shinkurou: What did you...?

Kirihiko: My name is Kirishima Kirihiko.

16

Shinkurou: That's right. <<Kirishima>>.

Shinkurou: When Yuuno-san was telling me about the Inner 13 Families...
Shinkurou: One of them was <<Kirishima>>.

Shinkurou: I was too careless. I wasn't cautious enough.
Shinkurou: How could I not notice that until now?

Shinkurou: She is <<Kirishima>> Kirihiko.
Shinkurou: She is a natural-born assassin.

17

Kirihiko: I know.

Kirihiko: How about this?

Kirihiko: You protect that girl in the picture.
Shinkurou: Eh?

Lucy: Eh?
Kirihiko: I'll be coming to kill her before long.
Kirihiko: You try to stop me.

Kirihiko: If you defeat me, we'll forget about this.
Kirihiko: And the Akuu Company will leave you alone.

Lucy: W-wait, Kirihiko-kun!!

Lucy: What are you saying!?
Lucy: You can't just decide things like that for yourself!!

18

Kirihiko: Shut the fuck up!!

Kirihiko: This is a game. Let's enjoy it.
Kirihiko: I'll leave you alone for today.

Kirihiko: Take that and get lost.

19

Lucy: You can't do things like that.
Lucy: The one Hoshigami-san will be mad with is me.
Lucy: You aren't planning on killing him along with the target, are you?

Lucy: I guess it really is impossible for you to have "friends".

Lucy: I just can't tell what she's thinking...

Lucy: But just in case...
Lucy: I'll set up some insurance...

Sign: Samidare Apartments

20

Shinkurou: No...

Shinkurou: She's just too different from...
Shinkurou: the Kirihiko-chan I know.

Shinkurou: And furthermore...
Shinkurou: What would Murasaki and the others think if they found out?

Shinkurou: If they knew she was part of the Akuu Company...
Shinkurou: and saw her treating assassination like a game.

21

Yamie: Hey, boy.

Shinkurou: ...Yamie-san.

Yamie: You look exhausted.
SFX: Appear
Yamie: It almost looks like you were attacked by a hit man or something.

Shinkurou: U-um, well...
Shinkurou: A lot has happened.

Yamie: Don't move,
Yamie: boy.

Shinkurou: Eh?
Shinkurou: And...let me see your cell phone.

SFX: Rinnng
Yamie: Is this Yamaura Clinic?

Yamie: I have a patient for you.
Yamie: Come to the Samidare Apartments.

Shinkurou: I-is someone hurt?

Shinkurou: Y-
Shinkurou: Yuuno-san...
SFX: Sit up

Yuuno: I heard you were here at Samidare!!
Yuuno: Were you really stabbed in the stomach!!?
SFX: Step step step
Shinkurou: Um...Yes.
Shinkurou: But I'm fine n-

SFX: Fling open

Shinkurou: Ah...

25

Shinkurou: U-um, Yuuno-san...
Yuuno: Quiet.

Yuuno: This is a very interesting wound.

Shinkurou: ...Interesting?

Yuuno: When you get back home and relax thinking, "Oh, what an exhausting day," the wound opens and blood starts flowing out.
Yuuno: That's how you were cut.

Yuuno: And it was purposely done so it would be easy to treat if the wound hadn't fully opened yet.

Yuuno: This was meant to show the difference in ability between you and whoever did this.
Yuuno: In other words, it was a warning.

26

Yuuno: Who did this to you?

Shinkurou: I'm sorry, Yuuno-san, but this is part of my job...
Shinkurou: so I'll do something about it on my own.

Yuuno: I understand.
Shinkurou: I can't tell her.

Shinkurou: I can't bring sadness to the others.
Yuuno: But if you really do need help...
Yuuno: make sure to tell me, okay?
Shinkurou: I have to stop Kirihiko-chan.
