Chapter 66 Strangely Stayed in my Mind (2/2)
As if waiting for Alice’s atmosphere to change to one that contained sharpness, she heard the sound of a door opening in the quiet shop and a man clad in a black robe hiding his face walked in.

The man quietly moves to the shelves in front of the row of weapons, and after grabbing a small dagger, like a flowing stream, moved towards the shelves where the clothing was placed, and after grabbing the black clothing and wrapping it around the dagger, he placed them on the counter.
Alice, who had been unresponsive and counting pennies all that time, looks at the dagger wrapped in black clothes, and as if she’s letting out a sigh, she moved her head.
[You’re the “Shadow Edge”, aren’t you?]
[……Haahhh… how come my core business isn’t doing well at all, but my “side job” is this thriving? Or rather, I wish you lot would stop calling me with that embarrassing pseudonym.]
[There’s someone I need you to deal with.]
[……Depends on how much and who it is.]
The man quietly announced Alice’s other name…… The pseudonym she was known in the underworld.
The act of wrapping the black cloth around the dagger is a sign of a request for her about a job related to the underworld. Requests that wouldn’t be brought to the light, things that could only be done by those who dwell in the darkness of the world.
[One white gold coin for an advance…… An additional three after your success.]
[Heehhh, that ain’t too bad. The person must have been someone troublesome huh?]

[I need you to deal with the whole family of a baron.]
[Hmmm. A noble in this country huh?]
[Yeah, here’s the list.]
The man places a single white gold coin on the counter before holding out a stack of papers.
Alice reads what is written on the paper for a while, and when she finishes reading, she hands the stack of paper back to the man.
[Alrighty~~. Then, regarding this request…… the deadline is?]
[If possible, within 10 days.]
[Method of death?]
[It’s best if you were to kill him in a way that would look like he committed suicide.]
[Okay, okay. Well then, please come back in 10 days with the 3 white gold coins.]

[……Yeah.]
After that short conversation, the man leaves the shop.
After seeing him off while still wearing her stuffed costume, Alice began flipping the white gold coin she received with her finger and muttered.
[……Kaito-san. Human life is something that can be bought cheap. Just for these few coins, it would disappear like a fleeing dream……]
After catching the falling white gold coin and casually tossing it into the counter’s drawer, Alice takes one of the silver coins that Kaito used to pay her, and smiles.
[Well, but I guess I can only pray today…… that a “murder request” for you won’t come……]
The sun was setting and the shop looked gloomy, but the girl living within that house had a peaceful smile on her face.
Ten days later…… The day when Kaito and the others left the capital for the Sacred Tree Festival—— only she and her client knew at the time, that the whole family of a certain barony would commit suicide, causing a bit of a stir in the royal capital.
Let’s go talk about this again……
