Will you be able to kill

Akira Hino?

Yes.

THREE WEEKS EARLIER

You want me

to liquidate a liquidator?

Yes.

But he's in the upper rankings.

He won't be easy to kill.

Most of all, we lack proof.

Proof?

Proof of whether the kill is necessary.

The details are in the file.

ASSASSIN PROFILE, AKIRA HINO

Work with him until you win his trust

find the proof we need, and kill him.

That's your mission.

Liquidating the liquidator makes me...

a liquidator's liquidator.

What a pain.

Why me?

To ensure that no bond develops

they chose someone like you with poor communication skills.

If it were Sugimoto, they might get along too well, right?

When that happens, mistakes occur.

Good point.

I'm not good at talking to people

so we won't bond at all.

I'm perfect for undercover work.

Whatever you do, don't become friends!

Not that I'm worried.

Do you ever take a bath?

I don't want to.

You don't want to?

You're not a child. Clean yourself up!

Do you know how it feels to be next to you all day?

What about you?

That... body rinse you use.

You're leaving your scent at the scene!

You should quit smoking then. The smell sticks to my clothes.

Is that so? Gosh, so sorry.

When we first met, you didn't say a word

and now you've grown big enough to criticize me.

Yes, well when you first met me

you were putting on that scary guy act!

Stop doing that! It wasn't an act, okay?

That hurts. Would you stop?

Whatever you do, don't become friends!

This is bad.

What do you think, Mr. Kanenari? Are you interested?

If you were to join now

you'll receive an additional 1,000 points.

As seen here.

Actually, there are a few people I'd like to get rid of.

It's perfect timing.

I must be scaring you, young lady.

She's still new. Take it easy on her.

If girls like you are taking jobs like this

Japan is finished.

What's the deal?

Did your boyfriend force you to take this job to pay off his debts?

My name's not "Young Lady".

It's Su-gi-mo-to.

Got it?

Sorry.

- Well, I'll leave it to you. - Right.

Let's have drinks again sometime.

Oh, good idea!

- Thank you for coming, young lady. - No, thank--

Oh, I'm so sorry! Forgive me!

- We're very sorry! - Sorry!

- It won't happen again! - Don't worry.

I'll have the girls clean it up.

Oh, I'm so sorry for the inconvenience!

- Oh, thank you very much. - We're sorry!

I'm sorry. Do you need a towel?

Oh, excuse me. Thank you very much.

I don't even want to bring you next time!

I'm sorry.

Oh, and next time you create a presentation

don't include words like "kill"!

It ruins the mood!

But they're customers ordering assassinations, right?

No, look.

You wouldn't write "dead pig" to explain pork dishes, would you?

Fix it by the 28th!

Hello?

Oh, sorry, by when?

I just told you, didn't I?

- Sorry, I couldn't hear-- - I said "I told you!"

- One more time-- - I told you, okay?

Did you misplace your brain?

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY!

BABY ASSASSINS EVERYDAY!

What are you grinning about? Let's go.

Sorry.

And now it looks like it's about to rain!

She spilled water.

I wish they'd sent us someone we can actually use.

Oh, sorry.

I...

An old bullet wound in my stomach is giving me trouble.

It swells up when it rains.

Sorry, but would you mind if I left early?

What?

Are you okay?

Oh, sorry, yes.

Well...

You have to take care of your body.

Go get some rest.

Thank you very much.

I was going to ask Chisato to update our customer list, but...

Mao?

Can I ask you?

Me?

Of course!

Take care!

I'm sorry.

It hurts...

What?

- Are you okay? - Please excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Need an ambulance?

No, not that, please.

Well...

Do you mind if I come in to get out of the rain?

Excuse me.

The rain seems to be stopping.

Oh, but I feel a lot better. Thank you very much.

Glad to hear it!

I don't know what happened, but is your stomach upset?

- I can have this? - Sure. It's on the house.

Thank you.

Thank you for the meal.

That's hot!

Delish.

Want something to eat?

Is that okay?

Whatever you like.

In that case...

Just how I like it.

Why is Chinese food always so tasty in dirty restaurants like this?

Yes.

This is it.

This is how fried rice should be.

Isn't that him?

"Yumeto Maori."

He was an incredible assassin back in the day.

He even climbed to third place in rank.

Really?

"Shot in the line of duty and retired

due to complications from the wound.

Now living off of support from the Guild."

They'll even support you after retirement?

"The Guild is so kind.

I'll honor the Guild by carrying out my remaining days in quiet."

Or so they want you think. But in fact, you're just a lap dog.

Gosh. Scary stuff.

And then

when they need to cut costs, the support ends.

Which means liquidation.

God, I hate these jobs.

It's enough to make you sick.

Should we skip this one? And go home?

Shall we?

A drink would be nice instead.

Sounds good. We could eat motsuyaki in Ueno.

You serious?

As a heart attack.

- Ready? - Let's go.

Oh man, I'm stuffed.

Glad you're feeling better!

- I'll come again! - Sure.

- We're always open. - Thanks.

Take care.

- Take care. - I will.

Well, well!

You were faking it?

Now, this is a laugh.

I wasn't faking. I only just started feeling--

I've seen lots of people like you who always aim for sympathy.

Mr. Yamashita and Mao

should hear about this.

CHINESE RESTAURANT HEIAN

Okay. Get to cleaning.

Good work.

- Yes, good work. - Good work.

All right. On to the next.

Okay.

By the way

where's Miyauchi?

She's... left the nest.

Left the nest?

You know, she thinks she doesn't need me.

But my plan is that this will teach her gratitude.

In other words--

This is bad.

Oh, man.

This again?

Now there's a pro!

Did you think you could kill me with poison?

Do you have any idea how much I trained for this?

Wait, Mr. Maori, look.

- It's me. - What?

Hino.

What? Hino?

It is you!

- Long time no see! - Yes.

So you betrayed me?

After all I did for you when you were a kid?

Come on. Don't be silly.

What you just drank was a sleeping aid.

I could never kill you!

- A sleeping aid? - That's right.

This was supposed to be a surprise!

- What? - You were supposed to sleep.

Then the Guild would move you to Karuizawa

and you could enjoy your final days there.

But now, the Guild's perfect plan is ruined!

You moron.

Like I'd believe that!

- You don't have to. - What?

Man, you had me nervous.

Hino, you...

Okay, get to cleaning.

Damn it, I'm so sick of this job!

I can't take it anymore!

Don't talk like that in front of your subordinate.

You're bumming me out too.

You think I'm faking it, right?

No, I'm heartsick!

Why is it just "kill, kill, kill?"

- "Bang, bang, bang!" - Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, boom!

I can't even eat meat or fish anymore.

That's true. You haven't eaten at all.

Damn it.

I use to love beef bowls and things.

Someone's going to kill me one day too!

Who would kill a liquidator?

Well, for example...

You, maybe?

What?

What makes you say that?

You're not going to betray me, are you?

You suddenly appear as my partner and follow me around.

Then when I begin to trust you...

What are you talking about?

You know that's not true!

I...

like this job

or more accurately...

It's all I can do.

I don't know why that is

but even so

I've taken it seriously.

I'm finally adjusting

and then you say that.

Hey, sorry. I was only joking.

I used to have an assistant like you

and after a mistake like today, we were attacked.

I got stabbed in the stomach

and my assistant was beat up real bad.

Then he shouts, "Akira Hino!"

That's me.

He told the guy to kill me and leave him alive.

It was a big shock for me.

I used to take him for drinks like this every week

but I guess he thought it was annoying.

Maybe that's why he betrayed me.

I doubt that's why.

Alcohol is a social lubricant, isn't it?

Anyway

I thought you might do the same.

I...

won't betray you, Hino.

Now that you mention it

what happened to your assistant?

Oh, right.

Just between us...

I whacked him.

I just couldn't understand why

and when I went to confront him about it, he panicked.

He tried to shoot me, so I shot him.

It turns out

he was the son of some high-up Guild official.

If they ever find out, I'm done for.

So promise you'll keep it secret.

Sure.

I promise.

No, that's a ninja pose.

I'm doing the "quiet" pose.

- "Nin!" - Yes...

I have the proof you wanted.

He personally killed his assistant.

He admitted to it.

I have audio.

Yes.

I will kill Akira Hino.

Someone's going to kill me one day too!

WILL YOU BE LATE TONIGHT? UNREAD

- Welcome home. - I'm back.

- It's late. I was worried. - Sorry.

We went out for drinks.

- Drinks? - Yes.

You could have sent a message saying so.

Well, things got pretty wild.

Sorry, I had no chance to check my phone.

Let's wash up.

I'm sorry for any concern I caused.

I'm feeling better now and am ready to work.

Well

as long as you're feeling better.

Okay! Let's get to work!

Oh, thank you for calling.

Chisato, take care of that client list you pushed on me.

Don't expect to go home any time soon.

Right.

I got worried for nothing.

I'm beat.

Don't say it was for nothing. I'm tired too, you know.

All I'm saying is that if you were out drinking

you could have replied to my message.

I was worried

something had happened to you.

What can I say?

After all

it was another fancy sushi party, right?

Sushi?

What's so funny?

It's fine

for you to just kill, but...

In my case

there are relationships and office politics.

It's exhausting.

What does that mean?

What do you mean, "It's fine for me to just kill"?

All I did was worry about you.

Well

someone who uses their communication disorder to avoid work

shouldn't accuse me of playing around.

That's a mean thing to say.

Sorry, I'm not in the mood to talk.

- Is something wrong? - Nothing!

Sorry. Good night.

Good morning!

- Good morning! - Good morning!

Let's work hard and arrange more kills today!

- Right! - Right!

At all times, the customer's feelings should be...

- Kept in mind! - Kept in mind!

Okay!

Chisato, there are updates to the client list.

Organize them and send them to management.

Right.

TARGET: CHINESE RESTAURANT OWNER, IPPEI KAWAHARA

Wait, why is this restaurant owner on the list?

What?

The Chinese restaurant owner... Why is he...

I heard he killed a child or something

in a hit and run a long time ago.

The order came from the child's family.

Don't worry about the reason. Just send the email.

Did I ask you to research why?

I didn't, did I?

Right.

Tomorrow?

Why is it

that we can't live more ordinary lives?

Don't kid yourself.

When it comes to killers, there is no right or wrong.

Damn it.

Chisato Sugimoto worked hard.

Damn it, I'm so sick of this job!

I can't take it anymore!
