"Mōshiwakegozaimasen! Butsukaru tsumori wagozaimasen. Dō ka oyurushi kudasai. (I'm sorry ma'am! I don't mean to bump into you. Please forgive me.)" Rami pleaded to the woman--- not a girl in front of him.
He bent his body to help her pick her fallen things when his body collided into hers.
The girl shakes her head and says-- - "Chigau! Chigau! Ayamarubeki wa watashi no kata yo. Mawari ni ki o yatte inakatta no yo. Daijōbudakara shinpaishinaide. (No!! No!! I'm the one who should apologize to you because I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. Don't worry, I'm okay.) " She comforts Rami with her soft voice.
At what she said, Rami secretly sneered with disgust.
Tsk!!
Acting so innocently huh?
"Hontōni? (Really?)" Rami asked, masking his face with a hopeful and nervous smile—as if confirming whether the girl's words were true.
"Un!! (Yeah!!)" She answered while nodding.
Rami smirks secretly with her answer.
Fighting his disgust, without further ado, he suddenly hugged her suddenly not minding her surprised expression.
"Yokata!! (I'm glad!!)" Rami exclaimed happily.
While Rami is still hugging the girl, he sneakily puts a little dot, about a fingernail size, on the back of the collar of her traditional yukata where no one can notice it. After attaching that small thing to her, Rami immediately distanced himself away from her.
To avoid raising suspicion, he acted as if he was checking his watch.
He looked back at her, giving a sad look.
"Jikan o mite kudasai. Sumimasen, ikanakucha. Etto, iku mae ni onamae o oshiete itadakemasu ka? (Look at the time. I'm sorry but I have to go. Umhh, but before I go, can you please tell me your name?)" Rami asks shyly.
"Zan'nendeshita ne. Demo, nante koto! Namae o iu no o wasuretemashita. Denely Pabay desu. Hajimemashite. Anata no onamaehanandesuka? (Well too bad. But, Oh my God!! I forgot to say my name. I'm Denely Pabay, nice to meet you. What's yours?)" Densely exclaimed happily while she's smiling at Rami.
Tsk!!
Rami smiled back at her, and this time, in the smile he gave Denely, it was clear that he had done something wrong. He let her notice it—and because of that, he saw her suddenly grow nervous before she quickly wiped the anxiety from her face.
"Hajimemashite, Denely. Watashi wa Ashera Deveraux erōdesu. (Nice to meet you Denely, I'm Ashera Deveraux.)" Rami answered Denely's question in his deep voice, then walked past her without looking back, lifting his hand slightly in farewell.
When he had moved a little farther away, he stopped and smiled wickedly—ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, who were beginning to think he was crazy.
"Sayōnara (Good bye) Denely Pabay." Rami whispered.
He is sure Denely heard it because she turns her back glancing at Rami, giving a horrified look.
Before Denely could react, Rami pressed the little button that he was holding.
After ten seconds, Rami heard a muted boom, followed by loud shouts from the people scattered around the area.
Rami's smirk widened.
He didn't turn back to see what had happened—because he already knew.
He knew that the rough road behind him was now littered with bloody, scattered remains, the crimson spreading across a wide area. He had caused that scene, after all.
Rami glanced at the folder he was holding and crossed out the front page with a red pen.
Name: Denely Pabay
Age: 16
Homeland: Japan
Currently living: Tokyo
Background: Hired killer and high-class prostitute
Rami laughed wickedly in the back of his mind.
'Huh. So easy. Let's get to the next one.'
He glanced at the folder again, then opened it and headed toward his next target. After reading the location, he simply shrugged and slipped it into his backpack pocket nonchalantly.
Oh well. Before anything else, he decided to stay here in Tokyo for a while before going to another place. Would he miss out on all the delicacies that this city had to offer? Of course not. It was time to indulge his foodie side.
He will naturally try them all!!
Rami clapped his hands excitedly, then tilted his head from side to side, already scrutinizing every nearby shop to decide which food he wanted to try first.
'That Takoyaki (Octopus grilled Pancake balls) look so tasty. Looks like I should try it first!! No wait, that Taiyaki (fish shaped pancake) is also cute!! How about that different Tempura there. They also have some types of vegetable tempura. I want them all!! '
