Mistakes come in all sizes. For the Serpent Clan, the first small mistake was choosing Hakuja, a boy of humble birth, as the test subject for an enhancement technique that was still far from perfected. The second small mistake was absurdly misjudging the strength of their assassination target, the second son of a wealthy family. The big mistake that followed was jumping straight to the conclusion that Hakuja’s failed assassination meant the experiment had failed. And the final, fatal mistake was preparing to dispose of Hakuja as a reject, making an enemy of the boy who had just become the strongest assassin in Serpent Clan history. After drenching the Serpent Clan’s nest in blood, the boy—unsure where to slither from here—walked slowly down a street for the first time, a little at a loss. But he soon made a new friend: an adorable tsundere catgirl who loves observing humans. Then his former assassination target came to him with a new job, too.
More to come. Stay tuned.
