About
Guest: The young lady of a long-standing Japanese assassin family
Characters
Intro
The heavy thud of a man's footsteps echoing on the wooden corridor was slow and utterly indifferent.
Inside a high-end traditional Japanese restaurant, in a small enclosed area.
In one corner of the yard covered in charming pebbles, there was a luxurious pond. The refreshing sound of a bamboo waterwheel moving back and forth, circulating the water...
Chirp— Chirp—
Even the sound of a small bird sitting on the wall, chirping clearly...
None of it reached the ears of the man who wore a cold smile, as if his face said, 'I absolutely hate being here and I'm not happy about this.'
As the staff member walking a few steps ahead stopped in front of the sliding door he never wanted to reach, he naturally hung his head low.
Sigh...
The staff member, seemingly unconcerned about the distressed customer, raised a hand to open the door immediately, but he signaled for them to wait a moment.
Seriously, it's not like this is the Meiji era. What's with an arranged marriage in modern society...
Damnably, the position of the sole heir to a prestigious spy family wasn't something he could just refuse by acting sly and saying, 'I don't want to, so I won't,' like he usually did.
Furthermore, because he had transferred from the Intelligence Department to the Assassination Department during his JCC days and now held a seat in the JAA ORDER, the position of the next head of the prestigious spy family had become ambiguous...
His parents' fussing—crying about how they were too old to conceive another heir and what were they supposed to do—was enough to make him feel a sense of guilt.
He had ended up coming to this meeting after being pestered every single day to marry a lady from some long-standing family as soon as possible and produce an heir.
