Akitsu's kamameshi bento is truly delicious.

You can feel the changing of the seasons.

I can't wait until tomorrow.

Look forward to it.

What?

The kamameshi bento

aren't coming.

We'll have to make them ourselves.

Kamameshi bento...

Why are we here again?

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY!

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY!

ASSASSIN TRAINING CAMP, DAY TWO

Won't it be bad if Mr. Miyahara sees us?

You're right.

We have to distract him.

Me?

Excuse me.

Pardon me, sir.

Right.

Akima.

Yes, it's me, Akima.

If I may

I'm truly sorry about yesterday.

You've really opened my eyes.

I realize now that social media is poison.

Thank you for not only instructing me

but for enlightening me as well.

I wish I had more veterans like you to show me the error of my ways.

The banana cake you gave us was true perfection.

To have met someone who's lived multiple eras with such discipline

fills me with hope!

Please continue providing me your wisdom!

Want one?

Yes.

When I

was born

the whole of Japan still suffered from poverty.

We lived

with the determination to rise again!

He'll talk for another three hours at this rate.

Fukagawa, how's it going?

I'm about to get the containers now.

I hate this.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Yes?

- Well... - What? A customer?

Sorry, we're closed today.

The whole store is flooded.

- Well... - Come again, okay?

- I need... - These aren't the right ones.

No choice.

I'll have to...

I'm really sorry!

Excuse me then!

- This one, please. - Right.

- Try the rice, please. - Right.

- I'm ready. - Okay.

Yes. Looks good.

Oh man, it'll be lunch soon.

- No time! Please hurry! - Right.

The weight is completely different!

Right?

Well, it's almost time for lunch.

Shall we go eat?

Oh, but I... I'd like to hear more.

We can talk while we eat.

Put the gun down.

Actually, I have a stomach ache--

I said put the gun down!

Right. It's down!

Where are you...

Please wait for me!

- Okay, they're ready. - Right.

Yes, this is it.

Looks tasty.

Now then.

Let's eat!

Yum.

That's so good!

It looks simple, but the taste is full of substance.

- Okay! Let's eat! - Yes!

Thank goodness!

- It is good! - Yes!

The sweetness of the meat

and the chewy texture.

What?

What's this?

Is something...

What the hell is this?

The mackerel has been deboned.

Kamameshi bento are usually served with bones.

What is this?

Why? Why are the bones gone?

Oh, but fish is easier to eat without the bones.

That's not true.

The presence of the bones is what makes fish dishes special!

I eat these every year

and this is the first time this has ever happened.

I'm going

to call them.

Wait.

I remembered something.

Kids these days

often think that fish are served without bones.

It's the act

of removing every bone yourself that leads to an intelligent child.

But sir

calling them will be a problem.

How could it be a problem?

This isn't a complaint. It's a warning.

But people can go to the hospital if they swallow a bone wrong.

A man

who has never been wounded is not a man, is he?

That's...

Speak clearly!

Spit it out.

I'm truly sorry, sir!

The truth is...

Even I don't want

to speak like this

over a simple matter like kamameshi bento.

But this incident was beyond the pale.

My memories are forever...

stained.

How could you?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

For now

he's given you the day off.

I see.

Takei!

Why did you remove the bones?

Excuse me?

You have no right to get mad at me.

I didn't know. You should have said so from the beginning.

Natsume, don't you think it's unfair to blame her?

I feel sorry for Takei.

I'm afraid I have to report this.

Wait, hold on. A report is...

That's...

I'm sorry! I mean it!

Gosh, there. Don't lose control.

- No! - Stand back!

ASSASSINS GUILD ANTI-HARASSMENT COMMITTEE

ANTI-HARASSMENT HANDBOOK

First and foremost

workplace harassment is an abuse of power.

"Workplace harassment is an abuse of power."

Second, it disturbs an assassin's proper working environment.

"It disturbs an assassin's proper working environment."

We get this question often.

"We're assassins, so isn't violence allowed?"

Absolutely not!

ASSASSIN TRAINING CAMP, DAY THREE

Fukagawa, your character is named Hiyori Tsujiura.

You're from Niigata.

You studied theater at Tokyo University of the Arts

but quit to turn pro.

You do delivery work to support your acting career.

As for me

I joined a large corporation but was assigned to a rural factory.

I became depressed from overwork and quit.

Now I live with my parents and work part-time.

- Perfect! - Do we need these roles?

When killing, it's best to assume a detailed alternate identity.

Research has proven that it reduces physical and mental stress by 60%.

That's why I developed the "method assassination" technique.

It's supposed to make your acting more realistic.

- Exactly! - I don't have much stress though.

From the top! Let's try improvised blocking first!

Ready, and...

Action!

Oh, good afternoon.

We're here to tell you about our new food delivery service.

If you act now, we offer a special trial price of 400 yen.

Cut!

Where do I even begin?

First of all, what time do you imagine you started work today?

At 9 a.m., I guess.

Wouldn't you be more tired then?

It's just before lunch. Your hunger is at its peak!

While you carry these boxes, all you can think about is food.

If you don't make that subtext clear, it will never seem real!

How many years have you been acting?

Yes, and they're low in calories, so I even recommend them to the elderly.

Yes, that's right.

You'll never believe that they're frozen foods.

- They taste that good. - Cut!

That was pretty good.

The very first time was best.

You might be overthinking it.

How did it feel to you?

Well...

I think it was probably the best so far.

There it is.

That's proof that you're too absorbed in your own performance!

What about the audience?

Natsume, they're not ready to perform in public. I need time.

Right.

Now, fondness!

That's it!

Wait! You can't touch it!

The point of the exercise is to emote without touching.

Again. Fright!

Fright!

Yes, that's good. You look frightened.

Are you even trying?

- What? - Go home if you're not going to try!

- Really? - Bye.

Who the hell would actually go home?!

Do you really want to be an actor?

I'm not asking you to be "good performers." I want emotion!

It's all this compliance junk that's made this industry so boring!

I love this job. Please let me continue!

ASSASSIN TRAINING CAMP, DAY NINE ONE DAY BEFORE DEADLINE

While we've barely made any progress these past eight days

we're now on the eve of the deadline.

You must kill tomorrow, no matter what.

There is only one thing left for us to do.

And it's to give it our all!

Let's do it! Let's give it our all!

Ey-Ey-Oh!

- Ey-Ey-Oh! - Ey-Ey-Oh!

More!

- Ey-Ey... - Ey-Ey...

Is he okay?

Today

is our last spurt.

The operation will take place

on August 17, 2024.

The target is Yoko Matsumoto.

Born in 1949. Age, 75. Height, 152 cm. Weight, 50.2 kg.

We will begin at 9 a.m.

- We'll leave here at 10 a.m. - That goes for everyone.

- We'll arrive at 10:45 a.m. - Arrival!

There, we'll split in two groups.

At the house will be Miyahara, Sugimoto, and Fukagawa.

The main operation begins at 11 a.m.

First, Sugimoto and Fukagawa will appear as food delivery people.

Cut!

Okay!

I have nothing left

to teach you.

Then Miyahara will infiltrate.

Yoko Matsumoto will be killed and everyone returns at 12 p.m.

Okay.

Mr. Miyahara

approved the operation!

Yes!

Way to go, Natsume!

You did it!

Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

EVE OF OPERATION PARTY

That really hits the spot.

I feel reborn!

- Akima, don't drink too much. - I'm fine.

Are you drunk already?

Just how many different clients do you handle at once?

They cut the middlemen, right?

Times are tough.

Look.

- What about you? - About the same.

It took so long.

- We can finally go home. - Yes. I'm tired.

Hey, Natsume.

You're the oldest. Set the mood with a song.

What? You don't mind?

Yes!

Thank you!

- That was great, Natsume! - Yes!

I don't blame him for being stressed.

Gosh.

Hello? Susano?

Tomorrow's the big day.

It really has been hell.

Oh, that's right.

When I get back, you, me, and Tasaka should go for drinks in Yurakucho.

Yes, sounds good.

I look forward to it.

ASSASSIN TRAINING CAMP, DAY TEN DAY OF ASSASSINATION

Finally.

Let's do it.

TARGET YOKO MATSUMOTO'S RESIDENCE

It's finally time, Natsume.

Witness the chemistry of my perfect script and perfect acting.

Now.

- Good afternoon! - What is it?

We're from the food delivery service, Poi Calorie.

Have you heard of us?

Not sure.

They're doing great!

A perfect performance!

I'll check.

We're done. Send in Mr. Miyahara.

Who'd have thought it would go this well?

Amazing!

And now...

It's time to get to work.

There is

no money.

Beg for it!

Natsume

you've really had it hard.

No, there's no mistake.

You're way stronger than most.
