Chapter 5: The Executioner.

-------------------------------------------------------------

*Same night at the end of Chapter 4*

3rd Pov.

Out here in the lurking darkness of the Capital, the beheader from before was found near the streets.

From the looks of it, he had just killed a woman's lover.

"Please..."

Right now, the man is currently holding onto the woman's neck, choking her to death.

PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!"

The women begged.

"Oh come on.. It's your own fault for walking around at this time of night.. Didn't your parents warn you about the scary monsters that come out after dark?"

Said the man while the women tried to resist.

"I'll DO ANYTHING!"

She pleaded.

"Really? You would be willing to do anything I asked? I myself sure like to talk. So how about that?"

The woman then responds.

"YES! I WILL! I SWEAR IT!"

"Then what's it feel like to have your severed head from your body...? Doesn't it hurt?"

"... Huh-?"

Before the woman could even say anything, her head was already separated from her body.

The man drops the head down on the womens' body.

"Mmmm.... How delightful."

He grins.

"I just can't stop this...."

*Night Raid*

Within the next night for everyone in Night Raid, they were all gathered in the meeting room once more for a task.

"This next target is the serial killer from the rumors."

The boss announces.

"Rumors?"

Tatsumi stares, confused.

"Just keep listening."

Mine says.

"He appears randomly late at night and beheads his victims when given the chance. There's no telling how many dozens he's killed already."

The boss continues.

"Hold up, but a third of them have been members of the guard, right? He must be pretty strong."

Tatsumi asks.

"No doubt about it.. It's the 'Executioner,' Zanku."

"Zanku? Who's that?"

Tatsumi asks once again.

"You don't know? You really are from the boondocks, aren't you."

Mine says to Tatsumi.

"Excuse me, I don't know either."

Sheele points out.

"Sheele, I think it's just that you forgot."

Mine says to her friend.
