Distributing the Work

Two days had pa.s.sed after Sam the information broker brought in the request. All members of the 3rd squad of Black Maria had gathered in the hideout living room.

”Well then, let's start talking about our jobs.”

*clang clang*. Mary rang the handbell at s.h.i.+zuru's announcement.

Although, there wasn't any particular meaning behind it.

”The requests that Sam took this time were 15 in total. It is twice the usual amount, but I judged that it is still in the range that we could handle.”

In most cases, the amount of requests that Sam accepted as the 3rd squad intermediary was about 7 to 8. However, this time, it was 15. To put it simply, from those who could only shout loudly that they want someone killed, there were other people who could pay the great cost to put it into practice.

Thinking about that frankly, s.h.i.+zuru personally wasn't really happy about it, but as an a.s.sa.s.sination group, it was a delightful thing.

”I'll divide it like I always do but, if you have any complaints, I don't mind hearing it.”

”Please give me lucrative guys that don't care about their surroundings, s.h.i.+zu. It doesn't suit me to think about where I have to move… fuh.”

Casca expressed her opinion while applying manicure on her nails and with her feet on the table. Naturally, even without her telling him, s.h.i.+zuru knew that she was unsuitable for tailing and ambus.h.i.+ng jobs.

”Just gimme the ones where it's good enough for me to charge in and beat 'em to death. I'll kick their a.s.ses and be back before the day is through!”

”What a savage…”

Ludmilla disgustedly muttered under her breath. She said it in low voice since Casca might have hit her if she heard that.

”Ahaha… Of course, I'll hand over those kinds of request to you, Casca. Seven cases in all, good luck with that.”

”Great! Now I don't have to worry about alcohol expenses in the meantime!

'She's gonna borrow from s.h.i.+zuru again when she gets into trouble,' thought everyone there, but they couldn't say it. Even if they pointed that out, she would have snapped at them.

”It's okay to kill them right? Then, I'm gonna go right now!”

”Eh? Ah…”

Casca immediately grabbed the targets' photos and their information that have been gathered in two days after the request mediation, and then dashed out from the hideout without stopping. Unable to reach her, s.h.i.+zuru stood there dumbfounded with his hand reaching towards her disappearing back.

She had gone even before hearing anything about what kind of person the target was or where their stronghold was located. Usually speaking, her brutish tendencies came back with consequences.

”… Sorry, Lady. For now, how about you go after Casca so she won't do anything reckless?”

”Roger that, my beloved. But I can't make promises, since Casca herself is already like a nonsensical being.”

”Ah right, it as you said~! It feels like everyday Captain Casca never thinks at all ~”

Eliza laughed at the words Lady said while she shook her head in her human form. In the matter of impulsiveness, Lady, who had the urge to kill just from seeing blood, didn't have a place to laugh at other people.

Everyone in the room thought about that too, but were also unable to say it.

If pointing it out caused any improvement, then Beth, who was always forced to take remedial measures, wouldn't have been sulking so much.

”Uhm…… Somehow, one person and one beast have already left, so can I continue?”

Once again s.h.i.+zuru took hold of the atmosphere in the room after glancing to the hole opened by the two empty seats. And from eight requests left, he gave four to Eliza.

”This is for you, Eliza. Can I ask for you to let Beth do the other half?”

”I understand! Hey Beth, respond properly!”

”――Ha. So basically we're told to kill people for only one gold or so, right? Gross.”

”――So, reply properly Beth! Because it's really not charming!”
