If any of those lowly thugs died, it probably wouldn't cause much of an uproar,

but I don't think it's possible to pass Kushiro's death off as a common disappearance or suicide.

...Let's call Azumaya-kun again now and discuss that strategy.

Oh my, you're relying on Azuma already?

What's wrong with that? It's his job.

I know, I was just saying.

Well, Azuma is a first-class criminal, so as long as we have a plan, he'll get it done without a hitch.

It's reassuring to have an intellectual on our side.

Kakaka!

You sure do like him a lot, huh?

You must've liked him first since you hired him.

Haa? That's not it, he just has a reason to not go against me.
