c3 (1/2)

The great nation of Si Lvain, that held great tracts of land and power, and was said to rule over half the world

Its capital Rosario posessed of a worthy dignity that didn’t put its fareatest to shame,

In a corner of the capital’s eastern ward

A squalid, lawless place even if within the capital, it was also commonly known as the slums

There was a two story building that was right at ho into the scenery

It was the headquarters of the assassin group Black Maria’s Third Squad

“… hmm”

shi+zuru, as sleeping on one side of the rooh theand the song of the little birds

The first thing he felt as he woke up was the touch of soft fur co from behind his back to the back of his head

A body hotter than his own, the faint beating, and the up-down rhyth

He sat up and turned his head around, there was no need to check, Lady was there

“— good , my dear”

Her voice felt good, clear, like the sound of a musical instrument

Lady would alake up befor shi+zuru did

It’s not that shi+zuru was an early riser, just that she was especially early in the s

Yet Lady would alait for shi+zuru to wake, just like this

He wakes early in the ht

As his self-proclaimed other half, she would of course think that he should at least get a little more sleep

And above all, Lady loved the time that she could spend close to shi+zuru

“Morning Lady It’s a nice ain, today, isn’t it”

“Yes, though I would’ve preferred that the sun doesn’t come up forever”

“Ahahaha What’s with that”

shi+zuru smiled wryly as he stretched his hand and stroked Lady

Her pleased groan resonated with his spine shi+zuru then got up

“Let’s get breakfast ready I’ to the market, what about you?”

“In that case I will go”

The great as as tall as an adult man even on all fours

If she went outside like that, she would be certain to cause an uproar

“Really? Then, please”

But shi+zuru didn’t show any unease toward Lady’s offer and nodded

It was as if this was an everyday happening

In actual fact, he did entrust Lady witheveryday

Not long after shi+zuru nodded, her shape began to flicker like a heat haze

Several seconds passed, and the black wolf’s form vanished without a trace

In its place, there was a black-haired woman

— Not only did the noble e, she was also able to use ‘Black’ ic

Aic, Black was especially diverse Soe one’s own form was only a simple matter

However, as should be expected, every time shi+zuru saw that fore countenance

“… can’t you stopyourself on Richelieu already? It’s just that, whenever I see it I get chills down my spine … I can’t calm down”

The suit she earing on her hite instead of black

The color of her hair was dark as night instead of silvery white

Her long slitted eyes would open instead of close, displaying their golden pupils

These negative-ie-like differences were there, but the shape of Lady’s face and the lines of her body were completely the same as those of their boss Richelieu
