Chapter 17:

Rank: 10 

Status: Assassin

Tadashi takes a sip of his drink. He likes this drink a lot, but today it tasted bitter. Since he's an assassin, alcohol doesn't affect him and he can't get drunk. The only thing alcohol is good for is fuel. 


"Were you at school today?" Vanchelloe says while pouring Tadashi some more gin. 

"Yes. It was quite fun." Tadashi said with a dry laugh. 

"I had some customers come in who were telling me about it a couple hours ago. I'm surprised you weren't here sooner. I was worried." Vanchelloe said with a smirk. 

"Tch. I was shot." Tadashi says annoyed. 

"Oh geez - How'd that happen?" Vanny asked but he wasn't actually concerned. 

"I was having too much fun and got careless." 

"Where were you shot?" 

"From the back." Tadashi points at his back. 

Vanny places the clean glass down. 

"So what was General Dyma doing at the highschool?" Vanchelloe asked. 

This is what Vanny was truly interested in. 

"Some girl." Tadashi takes a swig. 

"Well if General Dyma was looking for her, then King Oshina wants her. Do you know anything about her?" Vanny asks. 

"Yumei Alakan. Height 5'1, Age 17. They were looking for her because of some tattoo." Tadashi leans on the counter and rests his head on his arms. 

"Tattoo? Odd." Vanny puts a hand on his chin. 

"Do you know what it looks like?" 

"It looks like a sun." 

"A sun?" Vanchelloe says with raised eyebrows. 

"What would they want with a Solaris?" 

"What's a Solaris?" Tadashi says lifting his head to look at Vanny. 

"It means 'Of the sun.'" 

"Okay... And?" 

"Well the Solaris are the chosen Family of Lady Solis." Vanny says while filling his glass.

"Who is Lady Solis?" 

"Oh she's just some bedtime story." 

"But if she's a bedtime story, then what about Yumei? You said she was a Solaris." Tadashi says with a raised eyebrow. 

"Oh, the Solaris are people who think the whole thing is real. It's pretty much a cult." Vanchelloe says with a dismissive wave of his hand. 

"Ah." Tadashi says with a tired sigh. 

Tadashi watches Vanchelloe clean and polish then he looses his patience. 

"Well now I feel out of the loop. What's the story?" Tadashi asks with an annoyed tone.

'I knew he'd crack...' Vanny thinks in his head.
