Kyo wore a cap on his head as he wore fake pink extensions on his hair and tied it up. Placing a false smile and holding out store-bought cookies, he placed the cookies on a tray.

Twenty-four cookies were on the tray but only two were meant for the targets.

Kyo took a deep breath and happily exclaimed.

"Free taste! Come get a taste of these freshly baked cookies!"

It sounded shaky but it was enough to attract the attention of people. He made sure to keep his distance away from the shop.

Lots of people started surrounding him. Since they weren't any of his targets, he gave them the safe ones instead and waited for his supposed targets.

The brown haired and the man with the scarf were then attracted by the free snacks. Kyo knew the plan was almost coming to its end.

"Stand back you two, I'll taste it first."The man older than them stepped out. Kyo gave him one of the cookies. The old man ate it and tasted every bite, tracing it for anything that tasted suspicious.

The strong taste of the cinnamon coating of the cookies will surely keep anything out of sight or taste.

Oh well, the poison had no odor or taste anyway, it was just like water.

The old man looked at the two and nodded, assuring them that they were safe to consume.

The blue scarfed man and the brown haired woman were both given cookies as Kyo smiled sweetly at them. Both of them ate the cookies and savored each bite. Kyo held the empty tray and waved farewell to his targets.

The poisoning would kick in 6-24 hours after exposure.

It's good enough.

The targets left and Kyo took his cap and extensions off. He opened his phone and decided to make a call to his acquaintance.

"Oh! Kyo! Are you done with the mission? Kohaku asked him. Kyo was frustrated and started to complain.

"You forgot to give me a plan, idiot!"Kyo complained, Kohaku then gave him a chuckle. "I did it on purpose, Kyo. An assassin should be independent and can make plans all on their own!" Kohaku commented.

"What if they caught me, Unity?! What would happen to me?! What would happen to my siblings, huh?!"Kyo angrily mentioned.

Kohaku didn't know what to say to him without frustrating him so she just shrugged it off. "Fine Kyo, but is the mission done?" Kohaku asked. He let out a frustrated sigh, “The poison will take effect in a few hours. If we’re lucky, maybe 15 to 60 minutes is enough.” The assassin mentioned.

His acquaintance then smiled, “Sure, let’s celebrate at a restaurant when you’re done. The food’s on me!” Kohaku happily said before Kyo ended the call.

The silence filled up that dependent assassin’s mind…

Why am I even doing this?

He thought to himself before following them home and watching it from afar, waiting for the ambulance to come as a sign...
