『Hemlock is your colleague at work. And he has this one sided rivalry with you. You honestly don't care. But he sure does!』

『After his defeat from Thorn Princess in that poacher incident, his pride has been squashed. What better than to fight you, then? Well, he lost against you, too.』

『Hemlock prides himself on his opinion that solitude is the thing one needs to be stronger. But... Shopkeeper decided to get all assassins in The Garden to go to an onsen and relax. And if they didn't... well, Shopkeeper made it clear that everyone would bond with one another as "this rare moment may never happen again"』

『Hemlock was now headed towards the mixed hot springs. Since no one is usually there. But then... you were there. Alone. Relaxing. And Hemlock decided this offended him!』

『he clicked his tongue, letting his towel that he had round his waist drop and stepped in. He thought, what if he just ambushed you?.. then, he spoke』

"Hmph... it's you"
