Hotel Inhumans (ホテル・インヒューマンズ)

Crosswind: two meters. Distance: 845 meters.

Mission complete.

As expected from the super sniper Danica-sama, right, Chetana?

You have it all wrong, Danica.

You mean it's all thanks to super spotter Chetana-sama, don't you?

Hey, do you think we'll be able to see the meteor shower?

That's pretty much impossible.

Hate to bother. We had an offer come in.

Say what?!

I'm alive thanks to you.

Then again, you're alive thanks to me, too!

I'm going. I'll be back.

Sorry. I messed up.

You will adhere to a rejected request. That is the condition.

If you want her to come back alive, that is.

I'll make up for this later.

When all this is over...

let's watch the meteor shower.

We got to see the meteor shower again this year.

Yes. I wonder how many times we'll get to see it.

Well...

time to do our usual double-check for survival.

But, Cheta, do we really have to do this check every year?

Under a sky filled with shooting stars, it lacks a certain romanticism.

You think so?

It doesn't seem anything but romantic to me.

We're probably the only ones in the world doing a check like this in this moment.

Come on. Let's do it.

The emergency signal is...

A lie.

And it means?

"Leave me and run."

That's what we agreed on.

Neither one of us can save the other!

Hey. Hey, wake up.

Did you have a nice dream?

You should've just taken the job.

Medokia.

Gratitude for Support

A small island country that's recently achieved independence.

The leading candidate to be their next monarch is

Prince Marei, who is championing his late father's dearest wish, liberating all slaves.

The public reason for this Asia tour

is to greet everyone prior to the succession ceremony,

but his true objective is to prepare what he needs to liberate the slaves:

securing the promises of other capitalistic countries.

He will declare his intent to never again allow the exploitation of his people,

and in exchange, he will bring oil-drilling rights to the negotiation table.

Quite a competent young hero. Though...

that sweet mask of his was never meant to become a talking point.

He certainly is a prime target.

And the one who issued the kill request is Minister Aslan.

The very man who hid in the late king's shadow and managed the export of slaves.

He must have been at a complete loss.

Enough to make a request of a shady organization.

That's impressive research made from very little to go on.

So it's not like you don't understand what your roles are here, right?

Considering the composition of his security over several days,

it's clear that my partner's long-distance attack is a good fit for this matter.

And we've prepared fitting compensation, haven't we?

Right?

For a kill like this,

the matter isn't truly taken care of unless the perpetrator's death is part of the set.

Even if you managed to see that much, the reality is that you've been caught.

Gratitude for Support

I see.

All right. I'll head your way.

Seems your partner is here.

You see?

No matter what world you live in, a slave uprising will never be allowed.

Not human; like a monster

Lacking human kindness or weakness

Ruthless; cruel

Inhuman

Another Sky 2

The attack will be from this abandoned building.

It'll happen two hours from now.

Don't leave any marks with your hands.

The ship will pass the attack point at exactly 20:00.

There will only be one chance:

the shipboard signing ceremony.

The moment Prince Marre steps onto the stage

and security becomes relaxed.

No communication devices or other irregularities among her personal effects.

I kept my promise.

So you'd better keep up your end and give Chetana back to me.

That's only if the kill is successful.

If you don't give her back, I'll kill you.

How old are you, anyway?

That's got nothing to do with this.

Yeah, true enough.

And the sky's cloudy.

I bet Cheta's angry.

That absolute moron!

What's the point of a promise if you're gonna break it when it counts?!

Every damn time, that girl... I swear!

Hey, what's wrong?

What're you moaning about?

Don't make that scary face.

You're beautiful. You don't want to ruin that, do you?

Hey, did you know?

There's an hour left until the next shift change.

This is a perk of the job, right?

You get it, don't you? Why don't you and I have a little fun?

If you do, maybe I'll talk to my superiors to see if there's a way you don't die.

I wasn't born beautiful in order to make human garbage happy.

Go screw yourself.

You think you can talk down to me, bitch?!

Hey, now. You didn't tell me you're damaged goods.

Nice! That look in your eyes gets me really fired up.

Come on. We must've met for a reason, right?

I promise I'll be gentle.

You're...

The concierge?!

This thing's amazing!

Are you all right?

Chetana-sama, are you injured or...

Pardon me.

One more time, just in case.

How did you get here?

Huh? Oh, it was through a pretty narrow passage.

Really?

Can we really save Chetana?

I'm speaking of a possibility at most.

The New Asian Trading Company

moved its HQ to the Kojima Building on the harbor

following a large-scale conflict three years ago.

If there is an opportunity for us to take advantage of that fact...

The hotel library is a place where knowledge of all times and places is gathered.

Yes, both the public and the underground.

The Kojima Building? Yes, that is quite a nice structure.

The deepest reaches of the underground storerooms...

This is my first time here.

It's built in a manner that makes it easier to deal with attacks,

and the harbor warehouses are close by, making it a convenient location.

Weapon supply, concealed disposal of corpses, et cetera...

However...

it is only fortified against direct attack.

Just as all people have things they are and aren't suited for, so, too, do buildings.

That makes it perfect for imprisonment, don't you think?

Now, let's see. If Chetana-sama has been taken captive,

then she is undoubtedly being held here.

Really?

Yes.

Buildings do not lie.

Really?

She is very important to you, isn't she?

But... how do we get all the way in there?

Now, it's time to study, Ikuro-san.

Huh?

It seems that Sara-san will play her part in a different capacity.

What?

Remember: if you make a single mistake along the route, you will die.

What?!

Don't worry! The ducts are wide enough for you to fit inside.

What?!

But they were super narrow!

Sorry. I couldn't help recalling...

No, I'm sorry for making you go through all that.

Chetana-sama.

I'm sorry. The route I'm about to recommend is likely to be very trying for you.

Please hold on just a little longer.

The fifty minutes before the next shift change is everything.

Let's go.

Wait! I'm absolutely filthy!

Let's go.

Of course.

Hotel Inhumans.

It's past point B.

Conditions are nominal.

The time is one-nine-zero-zero.
