Klaus sat in front of the canvas in his room.

“…………………………”

This was his routine.

Other than the time he spent working, training, and dealing with the girls, he had allotted his entire schedule to oil painting, yet he still hadn’t made a lick of progress. He would hold his brush aloft with every intention of painting yet be unable to lay down so much as a single stroke. Before he noticed, the brush’s tip would dry out.

The reason he’d fallen into a slump was plain as day.

When he first heard that Inferno had been wiped out, he lost something important to him.

And now he couldn’t make any progress on his painting.

There were two types of painters: those who painted on theory and those who painted on instinct. It went without saying that Klaus fell into the latter camp, and that meant he had few tools at his disposal for overcoming those setbacks. In fact, it was starting to throw him off in other areas of his life as well.

It was unusual for him to get so worked up—but that was a sign of just how much this mission meant to him.

This mission took my family from me…

He was an orphan. His earliest memories were of living in a poverty-stricken town. Shunned by even the other urchins, he was destined to fade away in solitude.

Then Guido met him and invited him to join Inferno.

“From now on, your name is Klaus. I’m gonna make you into a spy.”

When he closed his eyes, he could still hear the things Guido had said to him all those years ago.

“You’ll get a warm bed, three square meals, and hot baths. And most importantly—friends. The team and I will teach you every skill under the sun. Fair warning, some of ’em can be a bit rough. They’re all kinda oddballs, but they’re good folk. Someday, you’ll think of ’em as family.”

And Guido had been right.

To Klaus, the people he had lived with here at Heat Haze Palace were the only family he had.

I have to complete this mission, no matter what it takes…

He reminisced as though slowly flipping through a hefty tome of memories, getting more sentimental with each page he turned.

After a little while in that reverie, he heard a knock on his door.

Before he could reply, Lily popped her head in.

“Hey, Teach, Teach! You got our battle plan drawn up yet?”

“More importantly…” Klaus stepped back from his canvas. “Are you sure about this? When we first met, you made it abundantly clear how badly you want to avoid dying. I thought you would at least take more time to make up your mind.”

“Wait, now I’m the one getting questioned?”

An expression of shock crossed Lily’s face as she flopped down into a chair.

Lately, the girls had become more relaxed around Klaus. It was hard to stay stiff and proper around someone when you spent half your waking hours attacking him with a knife.

“Hmm… Y’know, I don’t know how well I can explain it, but…” Lily scratched her cheek.
