” Thealong Beryl’s House kid ”
I was told to gather at a drab-looking cabin and as I headed towards it, someone as already there told me to enter His whole body and even his face were covered and with his average figure, he could be said to be so characteristics
The mission this tih since I couldn’t read, I had no idea if that’s the truth or not What a careless client, leaving along the evidence with us, ere the part of the underground world
We, 「Shadow」, had the duty of confidentiality and would never leak out any inforanizations of thugs used the fact about hiring us to threaten others carelessly
Still, the recovery of documents Just said you wanted to steal it
And to ‘bring along’ the Beryl’s House kid? Just frankly said ‘kidnap’
I started shaking with anger at the ‘Client’ whom I had yet met No matter how many beautiful words you used, an evil deed was an evil deed Suppressing er, I lifteduy who read the card and a tall, ure, I knew they were the ones who had grouped with me for missions these last few times
” Is the preparations done? ”
The tall guy asked I nodded
In the dusk that was fast approaching to night, the average figure guy took lead and we ran out
I was 「Shadow」, belonging to an organization froround which undertook ‘ed, froe, kidnap or even assassination I especially, was given the erous ‘missions’ like assassination
Why was I stuck with these kinds of unpleasant jobs?
It was all thanks to these repulsive ears and tail I was a ‘Beast man’, an inferior species In replace-like ears on top and out of reas bullied at the orphanage because of thisworld In ours, there are people orshi+p that ears and tail of yours…desu]
At iven loads of food but it seeheavy was attached toto become ‘Shadow’
The training is to endure wounds, to withstand pain, to noton how to kill
It’s terrible, I didn’t want to kill I desperately tried to resist but it was iiven up
This collar—this black band of ardless ofa knife, my body would kill a person I wanted to save The day I was released was the day I died These dirty hands of ize by my death
Looking up, the destination, Beryl’s estate could be seen on top of a hill
” The target? ”
” In the office Right in front of the stairs on the 2nd floor ”
The tall guy replied to the average guy after searching using his sight Then, without talking, without hesitation, we arrived at the bottom of the fence, west of the estate
The 2 glances fleetingly at h but still did not pose a probleuy like usual He carried me, contracted his muscles and threw me over in an instance Instantly I bent all h my body I was already at the top of the hill I lowered the rope tied aroundthat the both of theic and pulled them up at once
” [Shadow] ”
Once over the fence, tall guy invoked the ic We becalance at the street we passed The sunset made the street dazzled
Like the average guy had predicted, the target was in the office in front of the 2nd story stairs [TN: Huh? Isn’t it the tall guy who said that?] Instructions had been given along the way, the custoet, he had lured the rest of people in the house away Such kindness [TN: RIGHT]
It would be e if we failed after all that I felt nauseated
Looks like the custoht nor person could be seen in the office Being able to see in the darkness was needed as a ‘Shadow’
Reaching the 2nd floor officethat adorned with ornauy took out a needle and pick opened theThey h the h this was an old mansion, the defense for the as weak
Opening the e landed without a sound in the roo at the stacks of papers around the office, finding it was going to be difficult The average guy pointed to the area close to the wall and without hesitation I walked over Even though I couldn’t read, there was certainly a pattern to how the documents were stacked And then, at thefor was found
” What are you doing here? ” [TN: Using very polite speech]
” ……! ”
I reacted by reflex when I heard a young, slightly lisping, yet composed voice opposite from the darkness This…collar!
Flustered, I looked in the direction of the voice, and there, I saw a shadow that was not even 100cm…
Froers, I stared dumbly at the diamond-shaped hidden weapon I just fired Ah, I killed a person again… But, before I could realize, for soht in front of rew dark
” Why… ”
was the first thing I said when I came to I could not comprehend what had happened at all It was not that I had lost my memories, but…
As a Shadow, this behavior was unthinkable To speak on ene to twist houta sound this time Nothe correct phrase should be that I couldn’t make a sound, due to the collar I rolled around on the floor to look around the surroundings No one could be seen apart from us And as it was, the other 2 were still unconscious
Nonetheless, doubts started raising Even if ere unconscious, leaving us ‘Shadow’ alone unsupervised was rather careless We could be considered as professional No matter how tied up ere, we did possess the skills to slip out
With that, I tried ain and I realized… I couldn’tus, I could not even er It felt just like my body turned into lead, the ‘Shadow’ side of e, unfamiliar sense of terror, caused me to sweat
I convinced myself that the sas because of the extre to think of what to do next I still had the absolute-loyalty collar on me yet my body could not move an inch [TN: GEEZE How many times must you repeat that?!?]
And I had no idea what happened
We erased our presence just to be sure e sneaked in and the tall guy had used [Shadow] e us into the darkness so it was impossible for anyone to see us Even so, why did my arm react to the child’s voice…eh? A child?
The one that spoke to us, furtherht throughout my body was the real deal
But why? Questions raced acrossin this situation that defied the orders of the collar made me kinda happy
Then
2 pairs of footsteps could be heard walking on the carpet and the lamp itched on
A black-haired el-like child too
” This…perhaps… It was you who bound all 3 of them? ”
After looking over us, the black-haired man who suddenly appeared asked the child ith hi like he had an idea e really were It seeerous ere since it looked like there was nothing tying us up
” Ah, I will tell you about that later ”
With that, the angel-like child instantly replied, and the truth was proven That’s right, the one who put us into this situation was this child And he ent-looking scholar My face turned stiff
It couldn’t be Iand round eyes, tufty eyebrows, and below his moderately fleshy cheeks lied a pair of sed onto a face that was like the art God created, lined up to create a sense of beauty Moreover that silky shi+ny silver hair paired with eeel from the picture book that I used to sneak into the bookstore to read when I was young
That kind of child did this to me…?
” What is the matter? ”
” What’s the matter indeed ”
While I was trying to accept this truth, these 2 were talking without a care in the world Just tried to be afraid a little, would you? We were tentatively ‘Shadoho could even silence a crying kid
I rong to try to observe theony about the pain The cloth that was covering my face was re……and our eyes met
” Ah ”
The child exclai in surprised should be me!
I wished to yell too, as the delicatesevere pain throughout ht be that several of le sound
The collar was to blah I didn’t feel like I was bound but I could not move, I harbored a hope that perhaps my collar was broken but no chance Then, it looked like the black-haired guy finally noticed and started to search my body Of course, in this occupation we often carried weapons and hidden weapons But, he was shocked when he felt my rib area
” This person, several of the bones are broken What kind of fighting did you do? ”
” …Eh? ”
As I thought it’s broken Frouy looked at aze
” What is your purpose of infiltrating this house? ”
” ……… ”
It hurt
