Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

When I'm spending time with Elche, the day really ends early.

I go into bed with you today and talk to you as you fall asleep.

At first he was an elche who kept talking with excitement but still seemed to get heavier and heavier on his eyelids because he had been playing all morning.

Elche with her eyes wide open in my arms.

He strokes his head to sleep and slaps his back in constant rhythm.

"Good night, Elche"

"Yeah...... good night, brother......"

Finally he smiled cutely and happily Elche went into his dreams.

Very cute, sleeping face to watch and rest in.

I don't want to sleep like this, I want to watch all the time.

But... that's not how it works.

Slightly raise the head of Elche, who is pillowing on my arm, and pull out his arm.

I'll put the pillow under your head so it doesn't change height.

"Your brother's arm pillow is more comfortable sleeping than your usual pillow!

Such a pleasure to say, my dear Elche.

Did you think of me and say it, or did you really?

I don't know, but I'm sorry.

Today, be patient with a regular pillow.

Try to get out of the futon so you don't make a sound.

But......

"... Huh!

"Hmmm... stay, honey..."

Elche grabbed the sleeve of my shirt with an unlimited amount of small force.

Enough force to remove it without any resistance if it is moving unaware as it is.

But he had no power to stop me from moving, and the thought of pulling me back was to the fullest.

I don't want to go, I want to sleep next to Elche like this.

I don't think about it, and we want to have a morning together.

But...!

"... I'm sorry, Elche"

I'll gently hold the arm that was grabbing the hem and put it inside the futon because it'll be cold.

I can't be your hero... but to protect you, I can be anything.

So I have to go.

Get out of bed, get out of your nostalgia a letter you wrote while Elche was in the bath, and keep it in a prominent spot.

I don't know what this request looks like, but I don't think I can make it home by morning.

And - maybe I can come back alive, I don't know.

So I definitely have words to write in the letter I leave with Elche.

- I'm glad I was born before you. I love you, Elche.

If I had been born later than Elche, I couldn't protect you.

That's all I can say is thank you to parents who don't know their faces or their names.

Finally, I look at Elche's sleeping face and drop my lips on its cheeks.

I laughed ticklishly, even though I was asleep.

After seeing it, I left the room feeling happy.

As I walk down the long, dark corridor, my happiness drops.

You can back off.

I'm going to be asked to kill someone.

"I've been waiting for you, Elena"

Every time I hear that voice, I get more uncomfortable.

Instead, I get a willingness to kill, but I sigh once to calm down.

"So don't call me by my name"

I don't want this guy calling me by my name.

I've done a dirty job, and I've got dirty hands with blood so I can't wash it off, but it's a different name.

My friend gave me this name.

"Don't you have a name? Neither do I. Why don't we stick it to each other?

That's what he said, he gave me the name Elena.

It was right after I met him, so he seemed to think of me as a girl, a name like a girl though.

They told me to name him again after I found out he was a man, but I said no.

Because I like this name.

That's why I don't want a man like him to get dirty with the name he gave Nina.

"That was late. Give this one priority over time with him. If you're late, it's a hassle."

"Sorry about that, but I don't feel comfortable giving this one priority."

"... well. No problem if you do a good job. I'm not gonna do anything to him either."

"Oh, and I'll definitely kill you."

If you do harm to Elche, I will definitely kill you.

She's all I have. [M]

"Heh, I know. For example, if I killed him, you would definitely kill me. Whatever hands you use, whatever you sacrifice. That's why I'm hiring you."

Even with a serious intent to kill, this guy takes it lightly and laughs deliberately.

Positively, this guy's up there, but when life and death are involved, he's in a reciprocal position.

This guy can easily kill what's important to me, and I can easily kill this guy.

We're just cooperating because we're worthy of each other now.

I don't have any feelings for this guy, and I'd rather kill him right now if he didn't have anything to do with Elche.

For them, that's what I am. [M]

"Well, that's enough fun stories, let's get down to business"

"I'm just tired of hearing shit like that."

He doesn't respond to my words, and this guy goes on.

"This assassination mission is very important. If I succeed in this, I will be more prestigious than anyone else in the society behind me and I will be able to build my best position"

I don't care about this guy's rising status or anything, but a request to be so prestigious in the back society?

I don't know what it is, but it would be a hell of a request.

"Here it is, read it"

When I received the paper I was given and followed the letters...... it was a more than expected request.

"Are you sure about this information?

"Oh, of course. It's a public announcement over there, and it's got a good back."

But no way... that happened, so soon...!

The request that was written there...

"Leonardo Carlo Begonia, current king of the Kingdom of Begonia. and First Prince Christopher Leo Begonia. Assassination of Both Names'
