"Sleep well, Cherì"
I said before making her smell some chloroform.
I hate to do this to her, if only i could turn back time, when i didn't commit any crime, maybe my life would have been different.
I gently layed her on the bed, tucking her in, and quickly exit the hotel room.
It's not safe for me to stay here, i will go out of town...
"You took your time, Ludenberg"
at the begging it startled me, then when i turned around i found out who the culprit was: Maki Harukawa, the ultimate assassin.
"Maki-san, you surprised me, and once again, you can call me Celestia"
i confidently said with my french accent, smiling weakly at her, trying to be polite
"I assume that Kirigiri is in that room... Are you gonna leave her there?"
i stayed quite, wondering the other options i have
"Police is been after you lately, mostly...her, you should eleminate your rivals, not give them huggies and cuddles"
She said to me while we walked to the car.
Maki as been my friend since she started working at my organization, we met at high school and aknowlegdet her as the ultimate care taker (Hope's peak academy), but when i found out her true talent i saw an opportunity
"You're helpless"
i gave her a frown, hoping she would've get the hint, the last thing i want is to be known as weak
"You're wrong. Between me and Kirigiri-san there's nothing"
Maki wore a grin, and laughed a bit
"Who said there was something between you and Mrs. Detective?"
i grunted, screw her and her stupid thoughts, i don't care.
I suddently heard the engine starting, and i'm still wondering about Kyoko...this is going to be a long trip.
