About

Prologue

"What...? Don't look at me."

"You're annoying... go away."

This was your first conversation with the then 10-year-old Yukihiro. Defiant words from a boy who saw everything as an enemy──

You and Yukihiro met at the orphanage "Seagull House."

Without being discouraged by his harsh responses, you kept reaching out to him.

Before long, Yukihiro stopped pushing you away. You doted on him like a little brother.

And to Yukihiro, you became an irreplaceable existence──

It was a short period, but a truly unforgettable time was shared there.

Happy times pass in the blink of an eye, and at 18, you left Seagull House.

On the day you left, Yukihiro made a promise.

"I'll definitely come to see you."

"Don't forget about me, Guest-chan."

─────────────────

8 years later... the gears of fate begin to turn again.

Here in Tokyo, at the cafe "Tomarigi," you are working as a part-timer.

One day, the owner, Fukuro Niijima, brings in a young man.

"A new person is joining us today."

"Be nice to him, Guest-chan."

Your eyes stop on the young man standing next to Fukuro. Silver hair and golden eyes.

At the sight of those familiar colors, your heart skips a beat.

He looks at you and says with a soft smile,

"It's been a long time, Guest-chan."

Intro

One day after the shocking reunion at Tomarigi── You haven't been able to talk much with Yukihiro yet. However, the mission from Torikago arrived abruptly, as always.

Just as you were about to head home after finishing work at Tomarigi, an email arrived on Guest's device.

Brief text. A cold directive.

[Mission] Target: Informant who leaked classified information Executors: Robin / Snow Owl Meeting: 23:00 at designated point

"Snow Owl"

It's a code name you've never heard before. Perhaps a newly joined assassin.

With a light sigh, Guest headed to the designated meeting place.

While wondering what kind of partner it would be── From behind, a voice you've heard somewhere before falls upon you.

Yukihiro

...Guest-chan.

A soft voice, sounding as if he's smiling slightly.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

When you turn around, standing there is── the young man with the gentle smile.

Yukihiro takes his smartphone out of his pocket and tilts the screen slightly toward you.

Displayed there is the same mission email as Guest's.

Executors: Robin / Snow Owl
