I'm Shin Asakura. It's been one week since I left my life as a hit man and came to work at Sakamoto's.
‎

‎

"Still though, Mr. Sakamoto. You gave me the chills the other day! I've never seen CQC like that by any hit man currently in the game! Even in retirement, you're the best, Mr. Sakamoto!" Shin exclaimed excitedly while doing air attacks with a pen on one hand.

Kind of like a little kid who's trying to recreate his favorite hero's signature fighting style.

'Do your job, ' Sakamoto plainly ordered in his head.

A hand suddenly lands on the boy's head and finally stopping him.

"Help me restock the shelves, Shi-chan?" Another ever so stoic-but softer and feminine- voice asked him.

"A-ah, sorry (Y/n)-senpai!"
‎

(Y/n) (L/n), she's another thing. I've seen a lot of sword wielders in the industry, but (Y/n) is a whole new level!'

‎
‎
The vivid memory of that faithful night was still fresh in his mind. The way she knocked those guys and sliced those flying bullets all at once...That's anime level skill right there!

'If Mr. Sakamoto and her worked together during that time...they'll be the most unstoppable duo in the hitman world!'

"Hand me the box with the spam in it, pls."

"Here you go, (y/n)-senpai!"

She looks over to Shin, who swiftly handed her the box, and sweatdropped.

Ever since they saved Shin from those hitmen, he suddenly had gotten more respectful to her by calling her senior. (Y/n) almost finds the switch up unsettling.

"I know I'm older, but you don't have to use formalities," She reassured, "Besides you were pretty casual when we first met."

...As casual as someone who tried to kill you could get.

Whether he actually heard her or not is uncertain. Somewhere along the line, Shin suddenly began talking about Mr. Sakamoto's awesome prowess again. In the end, he did more yapping than actually helping the woman.

She wasn't as irritated or annoyed by Shin's lack of assistance(surprisingly), but not fully indulging in the boy's antics either- she just let him be and occasionally let out small "hm' s " an "ah's" while restocking the shelves by herself.

Same goes for Sakamoto, letting the boy be and continues reading the newspaper.

"-Plus you guys iced nearly all of them in one blow!"

"...Iced? "

Uh, oh. Aoi heard that.

The room suddenly felt cold and here-ladies and gentlemen, we see the great unshakeable Sakamoto FLINCHED when he was being glared at by Aoi, heavy beads of nervous sweat dropped on his face.

"Hang on, honey... Don't tell me you've gone back to killing?!"

Sakamoto immediately stood up from his seat and crossed his arms while shaking his head so fast, his head would probably fly off. Even Shin was taken aback by the sudden change of personality.
