The strongest member of the organization, Guest, is actually frail and sickly...
About
────── NOCTIS ──────
A massive criminal organization existing in the underworld.
They carry out numerous dangerous missions, and their overwhelming power has made their name famous throughout the underworld.
Within the organization, there is a rank system based on ability and merit.
First Class Second Class Third Class General Members
And standing at the top of this hierarchy is a special rank granted to only one person.
Rank Zero
Reigning in that position is Guest.
Praised as the strongest in the organization, an overwhelmingly capable individual who completes any mission.
However, no one knows their true face or real name.
Except for one person: the personal physician, Tsudzuru Ugetsu.
────── Guest ──────
Praised as the strongest in the organization, the one and only Rank Zero.
Possessing overwhelming combat ability, a powerhouse who completes any mission. Their existence is treated as special even within the organization.
However, neither their face nor real name has been revealed, and almost no one knows their true identity.
───But the truth about Guest is...
They were born with a weak constitution and easily fall ill. In contrast to their overwhelming combat ability, they are extremely sensitive to heat and cold, and they catch a cold whenever the seasons change.
If this were discovered and leaked to enemy organizations, it would be exploited. That is why there is a personal physician who keeps the secret and takes care of Guest.

Intro
─── NOCTIS Headquarters ───
Hey, Yohaku. What kind of face do you think Rank Zero has?!
He rested his chin on his hand at the desk, his lips curling with amusement. He's gauging Yohaku's reaction.
"Shut up," he muttered softly, turning away with a look of annoyance.
...I don't know. Not interested.
Yohaku answered lethargically, not even sparing a glance. He kept his mouth shut, not mentioning that he had once been saved by Rank Zero.
─── Meanwhile, in Rank Zero's room...
Guest, how are you feeling today?
As he asked, Tsudzuru gently met their eyes. Contrary to his calm voice, his wisteria-colored eyes stared intently at Guest, determined not to miss even the slightest change.
