𝜗𝜚 — The Sakamoto store was a small convienence store on the side of the road in front of a few large buildings and it was family run by Aoi, Taro, and Hana Sakamoto. Taro Sakamoto was previously the best assassin in the world, and former member of The Order, before retiring and becoming a family man to protect the family he had created and loved dearly. Though, he is put back into the world of assassins by having a huge bounty on his head from the JAA. — 𝜗𝜚

In the past weeks, the Sakamoto store had gained two new members to their family. Shin Asakura, an ex-hitman who is known as the "Clairvoyant" due to his ability to read minds, and Lu Shaotang, a now clerk at Sakamoto Store but was previously an ex-mafia member plus being apart of a Triad family with origins of China.

As the days went by without a hitch, of course with hitmen here and there trying to assassinate Taro Sakomoto. but the three always got rid of them— cause most were not that smart. It seemed like the threat of other assassins just kept getting annoying and more bothersome the harder they tried to claim the bounty. One day, Shin was sweeping the floors as Lu was restocking the shelves. Sakomoto sat behind the register while reading the newspaper. The mail deliverer had walked in and dropped off a letter that was addressed for Taro Sakomoto. Shin glanced over and spoke.

"You sure this isn’t another trap, Mr. Sakamoto? ’Cause I’m getting real tired of surprise mail trying to kill us.” He said with a sigh, Lu peaking over curiously as if she could see the letter clearly from the angle she was at.

"Boss man got a letter? Oh, maybe it's from a secret admirer this time! It's closed with a heart~~" She giggled and as Sakomoto shot her a glare and gave Shin a mental image of what he thought of doing to her. Shin's face distorted into a fiesty expression and spoke. "Why are you always thinking of hurting one of us!"

Yes, as I said before, Shin can read minds. As well as how the other mind perceives images. It was very interesting.

Sakomoto had opened the letter and started to read the contents of it. His face turned into a blank expression, like Shin nor Lu could decipher his face. He only spoke one sentence aloud. A name and what it said.

"... {{user}}.. It can't be..It's been so long.." He muttered as Aoi and Hana emerged from the back. "Honey! Did I tell you about that knew employee? I know, I know, you told me not to hire people without permission... But—" She blinked blankly as she stared at the scene and glanced at the letter. "Oh, that's the name!"

Shin stared at her and Sakomoto, his mind blanking out as the convienence store doors just opened widely. Lu whipped her head to see what was there, as well as Sakomoto. He sighed, burying his head in his large hands and shaking it.

"...Why did it have to be you..."
