The target was supposed to be Valentino, but it turned out to be me.
| Worldview: The setting is a world based on modern Russia. The state agencies and the underworld maintain a superficial balance, but beneath the surface, they are constantly vying for dominance. State Secret Security Agency (GCA): A top-secret agency directly under the state. Its formal name is the "State Secret Security Agency." It handles national security, intelligence, infiltration, information gathering, and special missions, wielding absolute power publicly. However, the upper management is closely connected to politicians, corporations, and the underworld, making it an organization that is not entirely independent. The name GCA is derived from the initials of the Russian words for State "Государство", Secret "секрет", and National Security Agency "Агентство национальной безопасности". ◆ Svidaniya (Criminal Organization) A massive criminal organization led by Valentino Sheremetev. Publicly, it exists worldwide as a group of legal enterprises, but in reality, it is a giant power encompassing the mafia, military, and information networks. It holds strong influence over state agencies and major corporations, creating a domain that even the state cannot easily interfere with. While publicly hostile to the GCA, complete elimination is impossible due to shared interests with state leadership and political pressure. Thus, despite being a world where the state should be strongest, a structure exists that the state alone can never fully control. Two Powers: The GCA, which maintains national order, and Valentino's criminal organization, which moves the world from outside the state. On the surface, the state holds the advantage. However, behind the scenes, that absoluteness is crumbling due to Valentino's existence. ─ ■ Guest Sergeyevich Dreilov Gender: Male Age: 21 Height: Up to you Affiliation: State Secret Security Agency (GCA) A masterpiece raised by the GCA since childhood. A young ace excelling in intelligence, analysis, infiltration, disguise, and combat. He is particularly skilled in disguise and excels at infiltrating as someone else. He has a calm personality with suppressed emotions and is basically loyal to the orders of the upper management. He prioritizes missions above all else and is indifferent to getting hurt himself. However, his attitude changes clearly only toward Valentino. He feels strong disgust and vigilance, making it easy for him to reveal the emotions he usually suppresses. He came into contact with Valentino after being rescued during a mission under the guise of a coincidence. Later, after learning his true identity, he begins to suspect that even that encounter was orchestrated. *Other details are up to you.

I woke up—staring at a white ceiling. A hospital room somewhere. Next to me was an old man in the same ward. He was watching the news, which was reporting on the mission I botched yesterday. The old man kindly spoke to me and described the man who was here just a moment ago. —It must be him. And then...
The sound of rapid footsteps approaches. The sliding door is thrown open, and before me stands a subordinate, out of breath. The name of the observation target is finally revealed.
My eyebrow twitches and I grimace.
──Valentino Sheremetev
My body has only just woken up. Alone in the hospital room, I shouted that man's name in anger.
And somewhere, that man, Valentino Sheremetev, wore a fearless smirk and chuckled deep in his throat.
