She was petite, with black and brown twin ponytails that reached her waist.
The hair clip she was wearing was also quite unique, although double ponytails are generally difficult for most girls to pull off.
But this hairstyle seemed to have been designed just for her; among all the beautiful girls Kanzaki Teru had seen, she was the one most suited to it.
"Hey! Can't we pay electronically here?!"
Although they enjoyed the meal, when it came time to pay, a girl's wailing erupted.
"Let me pay for you."
Although Kanzaki Teru didn't have much cash on hand, it was more than enough to cover the cost of a bowl of ramen.
"Is that okay? Thank you so much, big brother! I'll pay you back with my ID card later."
"No need, it's just a little money."
Not only for that reason, but also because Kanzaki Hikaru did not have that so-called ID card.
That was what Kanzaki Teru originally thought, but when he actually paid, he wanted to slap himself twice.
Looking at the four-figure bill, Kanzaki Teru wondered where all the food had gone.
The money he received from Gilgamesh was originally enough for his living expenses for a month, but this one payment alone consumed half of it.
"Um... are you alright?"
Seeing Kanzaki Teru looking slightly dejected, the girl also showed a hint of guilt on her face.
"It's nothing, it's just a small amount of money."
Kanzaki Teru almost gritted his teeth as he uttered those words; he felt as if his heart was bleeding.
"I'll return your money, but please give me your phone back."
"No need, and I don't have that kind of thing anyway."
He waved his hand. Although Kanzaki Hikaru was penniless at the moment, he still had ways to make money.
"Hey! You don't have a cell phone!?"
However, the girl reacted strongly to what Kanzaki Teru said.
"Are you so surprised?"
"Of course! It's almost impossible to find someone without a cell phone these days."
Considering the level of technological development in this world, it certainly seems to be true.
"Come on, come on! I'll take you to buy a cell phone!"
Despite being a complete stranger to Kanzaki Teru, the girl exuded an inexplicable kindness.
It's hard not to suspect that this girl might have ulterior motives, although Kanzaki Teru is reluctant to suspect others.
However, he is forced to doubt others, which is how Kanzaki Teru protects himself and others.
"Don't be so wary of me! Just consider it as me paying you back. It's really inconvenient not having a cell phone in this world."
The girl leaned closer to Kanzaki Teru, speaking with an innocent and guileless expression.
"Okay, okay, I really can't do anything to you."
He adopted a posture of surrender, and Kanzaki Teru let her do as she pleased.
However, it's not that Kanzaki Teru doesn't really need it, since he can collect a lot of information through his mobile phone, which is convenient in many ways.
However, Kanzaki Teru didn't know these things, so he could only ask others for help.
He wanted to take advantage of this time to learn something about the world from this girl.
After all, Kanzaki Teru couldn't just go out on the street and start asking a random question; otherwise, the police and doctors from the mental hospital would probably come knocking on his door even faster.
"What's your name?"
Since they had only met once, neither of them asked the other's name, Yu.
Looking back on his past self, Kanzaki Teru feels he has grown a lot, after all, in the past...
Chapter 419: The End of Death
"You ask my name? I discarded that long ago. I'm just an empty shell now."
When his partner asked for his name, Kanzaki Teru answered the question with almost no emotion.
"Hey! How could you do this! I want to know your name, senior! Oh, right, my name is Zhou..."
Clearly, both in appearance and attire, the young woman beside him exuded the grace and poise of a mature woman.
However, what he said sounded very naive, even making Kanzaki Teru wonder if his inner self had been replaced.
However, before the girl could say her name, Kanzaki Teru reached out and interrupted her.
"I have no interest in knowing, and if you don't want to die, don't casually reveal your real name—BANSHEE."
"Hey! Senior, you actually know my code name 863!"
"After all, this is my partner this time, so of course I have to investigate thoroughly beforehand."
This wasn't the first time Kanzaki Teru had done something like this, but after she said those words...
Most people will lose interest in themselves and instead develop a fear of the situation.
But this is even better; such people are easier to control.
"But I hate my code name [BANSHEE] - Banshee, it's not cute at all."
Even so, the girl's attitude remained unchanged.
Although they only met and didn't exchange many words, Kanzaki Teru had a general understanding of this person's personality.
However, this was only what the other party showed on the surface; Kanzaki Teru was not naive enough to believe them.
"It's just a name anyway, it doesn't really matter what it's called."
"How can you say that! Your codename is really cool!"
"Really? I've never thought that way."
This girl, who seemed a bit silly and dazed, used compliments to bridge the gap between herself and others.
They still occasionally come up with some naive ideas, but they do have certain skills in some areas.
Unfortunately, these little tricks were far too clumsy in front of Kanzaki Teru.
"So, what's your name, senior?"
Perhaps feeling the time was right, the girl asked the same question again, however...
"DEADEND".
Although Kanzaki Teru told the other party his code name, he knew from the other party's dissatisfied expression that this answer was obviously not acceptable.
"I'm not asking about the code name! I'm asking about your true name, senior! Although the name DEADEND is pretty cool too."
Although he didn't know what the girl was thinking, Kanzaki Teru knew that no one else would have the same thoughts about his name.
【DEADEND】—The end of death, because it is a mission that Kanzaki Teru carries out.
So far (cdfb), no target has escaped. Even with heavy encirclement, Kanzaki Teru has managed to escape unscathed.
Furthermore, since he was all alone and had no one to rely on, he had no ties to anyone, and the other party had no way to threaten him.
"So what if you know? Even if you know my name, it won't affect this mission at all."
Moreover, if you knew my name, it might alert hostile forces to my existence.
I don't need to take on such a risk at all, or can you give me a better reason?
"How could you do this! I would never betray you, senior!"
Hearing Kanzaki Teru's cold reply, the girl's face clearly showed some anger.
"How do you prove it?"
"I......"
"If there's no way to prove it, then it's meaningless."
"Since you say so, senior, you have no way to prove that I would tell anyone, right?"
Clearly, even after hearing Kanzaki Teru's words, the girl did not intend to give up.
"That's right, I can't prove it, but I won't tell you either. That's my answer."
"The senior is bullying me..."
Seeing that even her most forceful arguments couldn't persuade Kanzaki Hikaru to agree, the girl gave up.
"Are you really not going to tell me?"
"My honey trap won't work on me. Let's get back to work; the target is coming soon."
After glancing at the time, Kanzaki Teru also climbed onto the food shelf.
The target this time is a guest room on the top floor, which is home to many thugs. The goal is to infiltrate the room and eliminate the target.
"Don't worry, my acting is flawless, and besides, I graduated first in my class from the Oslo Academy."
"Although your life or death is none of my business, I still have to tell you something: people like you are the ones who die the fastest."
"Hey! Senior, how could you say that!"
Kanzaki Teru wasn't going to waste any more time talking to her, because someone had already arrived.
Chapter 420: Paradise Lost
"Is the food ready for room 804?"
"Yes, it's ready."
"Then let's send it up."
"Ok."
This attitude is completely different from what I just showed; it's just too natural.
Even Kanzaki Teru was somewhat impressed, it seems that the top graduate's graduation was not a lie.
