 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Hello~?
|
 Zwei Section 5 Heathcliff
|
…….
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
I'm talking to you, Heathcliff.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Heathcliff
|
...What.
|
|
It's a bright, sunny day in the City.
|
|
The child sat on a bench, wearing a pair of pitch black sunglasses.
|
|
Next to her was another child, totally confident that he didn't look suspicious in the slightest.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Do you seriously think you don't look suspicious with the way you're acting?
|
 Zwei Section 5 Heathcliff
|
...Long as you don't keep bugging me with the prattle. What, there a problem?
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Yeah, I've got a problem. Who reads both pages of a newspaper like that in this day and age?
|
 Zwei Section 5 Heathcliff
|
...Ugh.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
If you're going to do that, at least stop peeking over the pages.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
You're going to scare our VIP away, 'kay?
|
|
The child sighed deeply, belittling her coworker.
|
|
The two children were conducting a covert mission. Specifically, it was 'appointed-persons protection', one of the Zwei's job categories.
|
|
It's a well-known fact that the Zwei Association specializes in client protection, but their exact methodology isn't so public.
|
|
Covert supervision was one of those methodologies: a service for people who want protection without interruption to their daily lives.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Haah... Won't something please happen? Just dawdling here is starting to get boring.
|
|
However, the child appears rather disgruntled.
|
|
Understandably so, as she was assigned an appointed-persons protection job only because of her proclivity to act naturally in unfamiliar circumstances...
|
|
Not because this was what she wanted to do per se.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Ugh... I should've picked a different job. But this looked so cool on paper...
|
|
...Perhaps the child wasn't entirely free of fault.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Heathcliff
|
…Hold on, he's on the move.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
What? He's supposed to faff around there for another hour or... oi!
|
|
The child next to her rose to his feet, crumpling the paper.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Woohoo~ Something's finally happening!
|
 Zwei Section 5 Heathcliff
|
Blimey, speak of the devil...
|
|
An excited child and a frustrated child...
|
|
The duo subtly strode up behind the VIP.
|
 ??? Shady Dealer
|
...Hey.
|
 ??? Clumsy VIP
|
H-Hey?
|
 ??? Shady Dealer
|
You really don't get what's going down, do you?
|
 ??? Shady Dealer
|
Look, I'm threatening you right now, got it~?
|
 ??? Clumsy VIP
|
W-What in the? I'm just here to meet someone for the contract payment...
|
 ??? Shady Dealer
|
Meet someone? More like greet my blade. Now, say hello!
|
 ??? Clumsy VIP
|
A—Ahh...
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Alright, hold your horses!
|
|
|
A heavy thwack echoed through the narrow alley.
|
 ??? Clumsy VIP
|
W—Who are?! Ah… The Zwei?
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Yep~ Haven't seen each other since we signed the contract, eh?
|
 ??? Clumsy VIP
|
Where in the world were you...
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Listen, can you stick to the routine you told us before~?
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
It's not easy being stealthy around you when you veer off your usual course...
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Anyways! From this point on, the Zwei's here to protect you!
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Heath! Get this lout straight outta here~!
|
|
With that, the child stepped in front of the client with her characteristic defensive stance.
|
 Zwei Section 5 Rodion
|
Alright, who's up next? Come on out!
|
|
Grinning that there was finally something to do.
