The Armorless Union is the most professional assassin organization in Kazimierz.
In the past, the Armorless Union was a resistance organization born under the oppression of the knight class, specializing in robbing the rich to help the poor.
In the past, this organization was akin to Robin Hood-style bandits. The authorities called them "Hidden Thieves," while they called themselves "Merry Men," dedicated to the gratifying deeds of robbing the rich to help the poor and punishing the wicked.
Even the knight squires who initially founded the Commercial Federation received plenty of help from the Armorless Union.
After all, the ascetic knights of the Nearl Family were only a minority; the true knight lords were far worse than this bunch of capitalists today.
However, as the squires transformed into great merchants and suppressed the power of the knights, the existence of the Armorless Union became rather awkward.
Subsequently, the organization encountered a common situation.
Disagreement and strife—one side believed their mission had ended and it was time to enjoy peace, while the other believed a new evil Dragon had emerged—followed by a parting of ways and disintegration.
In the end, the radicals who believed the Commercial Federation were also scoundrels left in anger, the conservatives who believed they could cooperate with the squires all became dogs, and the remaining people formed the current Armorless Union.
Absolutely neutral, never taking sides, with no political leanings; they only provide services commensurate with their payment.
Whether it be knight nobles, city council members, or the wealthy lords of the Commercial Federation, the Armorless Union turns no one away—or rather, only by turning no one away can they survive in the cracks and secure a foothold in this city of undercurrents.
From directly clashing with knights to eliminate an employer's political rival, down to escorting a rich kid to a rave, as long as the money is right, the members of the Armorless Union will provide the most efficient service.
No matter if the target is a cat or a dog, a good person or a villain, as long as they pay, they will kill—tougher targets just cost extra.
And Platinum—actually, she is not the current Platinum leader, she just calls herself that—is the Armorless Union's most excellent assassin.
Reconnaissance, eavesdropping, warning, assassination; although she is not yet twenty, she has been training with her mentor for several years.
Although she is not high-ranking like the six leaders in the "Three-Two-One Inverted Triangle" of the Armorless Union's leadership, relying on the eyes of the Kuranta Pegasus, her combat power is actually not inferior to theirs.
As an assassin, Platinum's strength does not lie in her marksmanship—she is a master of concealment.
"Whew... I must be crazy to dare infiltrate the mansion of the Nearl knight. It's a good thing knights aren't good at reconnaissance."
Lightly flipping through the window, Platinum twitched the small silver ears atop her head and tiptoed into the room without making a single sound.
Hiding her figure, weaving through shadows, and delivering a fatal blow from the most unlikely angle—this is the specialty of an Armorless Union assassin.
This isn't something that can be achieved just by tiptoeing. To achieve complete secrecy, Platinum can not only instinctively blend into the shadows and hold her breath for several minutes, but she can even directly suppress her heartbeat with her will to ensure that her presence never leaks out.
Don't ask, if you ask, it's because she's a super Terra person.
"As expected, there's no defense... Just as I thought, as long as I don't look at him, he can't discover me."
However... recently she encountered an opponent, which is this man lying on the bed right in front of her.
From start to finish, Platinum did not look at him once, but instead used a small mirror to confirm the other person's position.
Goki—it is said he is a staff member from a Columbia research institute on a business trip.
Platinum's job is very simple: monitor his itinerary, report his actions, and then submit reports on schedule.
The task is easy and the pay is generous. Even Platinum wonders if the employer who provided the task is some rich kid who doesn't know how to count.
Platinum is an assassin, but not a butcher. This kind of work, which doesn't require taking lives, poses no danger to herself, and offers exceptionally generous pay, is something she—a lazy person hoping to save enough money for financial freedom and buy a seaside villa in Siesta—naturally cannot let pass.
However, Platinum soon realized that there really is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; if you aren't a capitalist, every penny a worker earns requires double the toil.
During their first contact, Platinum only used simple concealment, but the moment she looked at the man in the trench coat, he turned his head directly and stared straight at her.
And subsequently, an even more terrifying gaze came over—it was the look from a white-haired woman, devoid of the man's amusement, only holding unstoppable, pure killing intent.
The moment their eyes met, Platinum didn't hesitate and slipped away on the spot—this man was exceptionally sharp, and that woman was absolutely lethal!
As an assassin, Platinum was actually afraid for the first time—that white-haired woman could absolutely tear her apart with her bare hands.
Afterward, Platinum examined her own arrogance and decided to use her full strength to hide and scout the other party's movements.
However... she was exposed every single time. Even if she wore the most Advanced night camouflage and hid in the pitch-black night, the other party could spot her at a glance, forcing her to flee quickly.
From start to finish, Platinum couldn't even observe his appearance up close.
After several back-and-forths, even Platinum, a girl who is usually lazy and stays home on her days off, was finally stirred by a boring desire to win.
Although in the end, Platinum could only report the general location where Goki appeared, in this duel that was no different from hide-and-seek, Platinum was the one who lost every time.
But now, Platinum has finally deduced what kind of ability this man named Goki has—he can perceive any gaze.
This is indeed a bit unscientific, but people in Terra rarely care about science, and detection-type Originium Arts are not uncommon.
It is precisely because of this that, after reviewing the Armorless Union's data countless times, she discovered a method to bypass this type of Originium Arts and prevent the other party from discovering her, a method so simple it was unbelievable—a mirror.
In the following several attempts, she tried observing Goki with the naked eye and via mirror reflection respectively; sure enough, he could only detect the former.
[Heh heh, isn't this easy to handle... He's quite handsome too.]
Looking at Goki's firm and handsome face in the mirror, Platinum froze for a second, but immediately flicked the horse tail behind her, suppressing her impulse to look directly at him.
Although this time, the terrifying white-haired woman who seemed capable of killing her with just a glance did not come, Platinum still didn't want to attract too much attention—that old man Nearl is completely untouchable.
[No way, just placed right next to him? I thought I would have to search for a while—got it.]
Picking up the somewhat heavy, ancient scabbard with complex patterns, Platinum weighed it twice, being extra careful—the reward for obtaining this item is equivalent to an apartment in the center of Kazimierz.
Platinum's employer gave her an additional task, asking her to find this item and offering an almost astronomical reward. Platinum hadn't expected that both targets would be in the same room.
But... it's all good news.
Feeling Goki's steady, deep breathing and slow heartbeat, Platinum confirmed that the other party was in a state of sleep.
This also meant that her mission was basically a success.
Since executing her first mission, Platinum has never failed. She believed that this time, the situation would be the same as usual.
But the next second, a pair of large hands, before Platinum could react at all, grabbed her wrists and pushed her down onto the bed.
"Hello there, little Platinum?"
"Eh—!"
But today... the future Platinum leader—was given away for free.
"Mmph—"
The bright moonlight spilled onto the bed in the Nearl Family bedroom, and on this simply decorated single bed, a silver-haired Kuranta girl with disheveled clothes was being pinned down on the bed by a tall, black-haired man.
"Calm down, calm down, I'm not going to do anything to you, can you stop struggling! Your clothes are about to come undone, they're coming loose—in the end, why am I the one comforting you? I'm clearly the victim here!"
With his legs straddling the waist of this familiar silver-haired girl, Goki tried hard to make his expression look kind.
If he weren't facing this familiar little assassin, and if she didn't have absolutely zero killing intent toward him, Goki wouldn't have the time to play with this little pony for so long.
But there was no help for it; who let Platinum be one of the four non-rabbit girlfriends of this old Doctor?
Moreover, in the era before Exusiai arrived, Goki relied entirely on the cute little Platinum to deal with those bastard drones! This kind of kindness cannot be repaid—he can only offer himself in return.

Of course, there was another deputy sniper who required Goki to offer himself in marriage, but before that, Goki would definitely need to take plenty of antidotes.
To prevent discomfort for this lazy little assassin, the compound bow on her back had already been removed by Goki and set aside. Even so, she hadn't stopped resisting in the slightest, continuing to exert force with an expressionless face.
"Mmm—"
