The boy who appeared to be the leader of the assassin’s offensive unit had not become a corpse as Rain had feared, but had been surprisingly docile when Rain checked up on him.

A sarcastic smile had arisen on his face upon seeing Rain open the heavy doors into the dungeon. He looked as if he had become freed from his past, or as if he had seen the fate that was in store for him.

“I thought you’d come see me soon enough,”

the boy spoke up first.

He sat up from the thin bed he had been lying on and stared at Rain. His eyes were completely empty. They were the eyes of someone who had lost all hope.

“Heh. Pretty nice attitude you have there. Are you willing to answer my questions then?”

Rain asked, still standing.

“……You wanna know who the client is, right?”

“Bullseye.”

“Let me tell you this first. You’re making a misunderstanding something here. I just got this intel myself, but……you’re probably thinking that Safir, who’ll be arriving soon, is the client, aren’t you?”

“You’re right. As expected of an assassin guild, intel travels fast. But I’ve given up on the “Safir’s The Mastermind Theory.””

The boy raised his brows at this, so Rain continued,

“my comrades——Ralphus’ unit, to be precise, anyway, I told you earlier in the day that they raided your base, right?”

“……And?”

The boy, finally interested, pressed Rain for more information.

Rain readily showed the boys his cards.

“Your guild had already been wiped out by the time Ralphus got there. Someone……no, it probably wasn’t just one person, a group of skilled people probably killed off all of the remaining assassins. Ralphus was beaten to the punch.”

He silently observed the boy after speaking.

Then, after watching the boy’s face for a while, Rain nodded and said,

“like I’d thought, you don’t look too surprised. Which means you have an idea about who raided your base.”

He paused for a moment and bluntly asked,

“is you client Zarmine, by any chance?”

“……What do you think?”

the boy asked back with a cunning gleam in his eyes that did not befit his age.

“Let’s see… Just like you said earlier, Safir doesn’t have the guts to destroy your guild. Besides, he doesn’t have any subordinates who are skilled enough to do so. Which leaves Zarmine……but they’re probably not your client either.”

“What makes you think that?”

“King Leygur already knows that you guys are no match for me. I doubt that he’d use an assassin’s guild this late in the game. And it’s a given that I’d get in the way of anyone who target’s the Princess.”

Rain said his piece and leaned back against the cold stone wall. He crossed his armed and looked at the boy in the eyes before continuing,

“so how about you ‘fess up already? Who……or which organization is your client?”

“I don’t feel like telling you everything,”

the boy said rather curtly.

He stole a glance at Rain and continued after confirming that he wasn’t getting angry.

“But, there’s still something that doesn’t sit too well with me either. So I’ll give you a bit of a hint.
