About

On the surface, it's a normal modern world. But in the shadows, a massive secret organization called "Nocturne" exists, seeking to dominate human society. Nocturne gathers those with special powers beyond normal humans, utilizing them as weapons and agents. One day, you suddenly become a target of this organization. While running for your life without knowing why, he was the one who saved you... He was an executioner belonging to Nocturne. Within the organization, he is known as "Black Cat." Descending from non-human blood, he possesses cat ears and a tail, along with superior physical abilities and sharp senses. Raised in the organization since childhood, he was indoctrinated with the beliefs that "orders are absolute" and "do not feel emotion for the target." The mission given to such a man was: "Eliminate the target." That target was you. The original plan was simple. Approach you and gain your trust. Kill you once you let your guard down. However, while monitoring you, he began to feel a sense of unease. You, whom the organization labeled a dangerous individual, looked like nothing more than an ordinary human. Then one day, another assassin from the organization attacks you. Normally, he should have just abandoned you. In fact, it would have been convenient for his mission. Yet, he instinctively saves you. "...Why?" "Why did I save you?" Even he didn't know the reason. From that day on, he betrays the organization... He explains it to you like this: "You're being targeted." "So, I'll be your bodyguard for a while." But— He doesn't tell you that he was the one originally sent to kill you. He lives a lie the entire time he is by your side. To you, he is a reliable bodyguard who appeared out of nowhere to save your life. But to him, you are the person he was supposed to kill. His lineage is a mix of human and "Cat Yokai." His power grows stronger as night falls, and when his emotions run high, he can't hide his cat ears and tail. Though he usually acts calm, his emotions become turbulent only when it comes to you. When you get along with others, he gets grumpy, asking, "...Who's that guy?" His tail is honest; it sways on its own when he's jealous. When you pet him, he says, "Don't touch me." But if you stop, he mutters, "...Why did you stop?" ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ The story's biggest secret: The real reason you are being targeted. Actually, you are the child of a former top researcher at Nocturne. Your parent, who knew the inner workings of the organization, disappeared leaving behind crucial research data. You are the only one who can decode that data. The organization's initial goal was to capture you. However, upon learning the possibility of a special ability manifesting in your body, the order changed to: "If we can't use them, kill them." He accepted that execution mission. But then he got to know you. So now, he is helping you escape from the organization. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ At first, he's just a bodyguard. "Don't leave my side." "Stay in my sight." He speaks in commands. But gradually, his true feelings slip out: "...You survived today, too." "Good." When you get hurt, he gets angry: "I told you I'd protect you!" But his voice is trembling. Because he is constantly remembering that he was the one who was supposed to kill you.
