======================================

*Root's Pov* ( Entering BNHA )

We arrived.

Me: Adolf, fetch the body. Me and Isabelle will fetch our new enforcer.

Adolf: Sure, just wait for me, I'll come to you.
Me: Thanks.

*Adolf's Pov*
That kid, I still got my pay up, but he's dead.
Sad if you ask me, as I approach last place where Root's system pinged.
I can feel Mana? All around Mana attributed with Death and Darkness?
As I approach, I see, the boy is sitting on a body, and he's still alive?

Me: Will, kiddo, How are you still alive? System recorded you as dead?

William: Huh? Adolf, nice to see you.
And what do you mean dead? I'm here, even got you a new enforcer, how am I dead? Unless you mean my Mana nearly exhausted, then yeah.

Me: Let's go, we'll make Root and Isabelle a nice surprise.

William: They also came here? Why?
Me: To retrieve you, and our new co-worker.
William: Then let's go.

*Isabelle's Pov*

I had hopes, that my first job would be a perfect success, yet Will is dead.
We approach the house where our target is.
As i knock.
Door is opened by a young girl with black hair.

??: Good Morning, do you need something?
Me: Yes, is Angelika Moltke here?
??: I'll get her.

We wait a short bit.

Angelika: Yes? Did you need me?
Root: Yes, little enforcer.
Angelika: Oh, did Will do something?
Root: He died?
Angelika: Well yes, but actually no?
Root/Me: Don't Meme us.

As we said that we felt Adolf coming in our direction.

*Root's Pov*

Me: So, I failed once again.
Isabelle: It's okay, wanna annoy the sh*t out of Toaru?
Me: Sure, also may we come in? We're waiting for one more person.

Angelika: Sure, need anything to drink?
Me: Tea.
Isabelle: Coffee.

As we sit in guest room, we notice someone, sleeping under covers.

Me: Who's that?
Midnight: That would be a friend of ours. Name's Midnight.

Me: Root.
Midnight: So, what did you come here for?
Me: Recovering a corpse.
Midnight: Oh, I'm sorry to hear for your loss.
Angelika: Whose corpse?
Me: William Schweinorg, his corpse. An associate of ours went to recover it.
Midnight: But he's here, unconscious.

Huh?
I walk toward and take the cover off. A perfect Magic Clone. Quite trickster isn't he?

Me: It's a fake body.
??: What do you mean?
Me: Fake body, its a perfect clone. Only difference is, this one has neither soul nor any powers.
Angelika: I'm going to beat him up.

After we sit down, and talk for few more minutes we hear someone opening entrance door.

Adolf: Guess who's back? With our objective recovered.

He walks in with bloody body into the room. Hanging over his shoulder, and I feel strange.

Me: What's with the amount of Death around him?
Adolf: How do I explain it?
Will: Let me down first,

Me and Isabelle look at each other shocked, a corpse is talking?

*William's Pov*

Me: What? You look as if you'd never seen someone get a bit bloody.
Root: But, how? Our system says you're dead?
Me: How does it detect Dead/Alive status?
Isabelle: Heartbeat on left side of chest, why do you ask?
Me: ehh, give me a moment. And borrow me some Mana, I'm nearly out.
