## Introduction

A highly skilled assassin namely Club, fresh from completing a successful mission, is now tasked with the mission that Spade, a former agent, failed and ultimately lost his life in.

## Summary

Rita, a former assassin who currently assumes the role of a kindergarten teacher as part of her covert mission to reduce her prison sentence, engages in an art activity with the children. Despite her attempt to draw a rabbit, the kids express their opinion that her drawing skills are subpar. Undeterred by their criticism, Rita decides to try again, fueled by her belief in her blood type horoscope, which predicts an encounter with her destined partner on this day. Her ultimate goal, once her mission is complete and she regains her freedom, is to find a handsome boyfriend.

As Rita hears the sound of a bell at the kindergarten gate, an elderly man presents himself as the butler of the Edward family, claiming that he needs to pick up Rika due to an emergency. Requesting to see the official guardian identification, Rita examines it closely before suddenly pointing her gun at the butler. She detects slight discrepancies in his voice and notices that his mask is missing a mole, prompting her to compare the ID she holds with the face of the person claiming to be the butler. Sensing the impending danger, the imposter decides to swiftly disarm Rita by slashing her gun in half, assuming that she is now defenseless.

As the imposter swiftly lunges towards Rita with a disguised cane that conceals a sword, he is taken aback when she skillfully blocks his attack using only a small pair of scissors. Despite this setback, he remains confident in his advantage, wielding a sword against Rita's seemingly inferior weapon. However, his confidence wavers when Rita unexpectedly hurls her scissors, creating a momentary distraction that allows her to deliver a powerful punch and disarm the imposter, snatching his sword in the process. With the imposter now defenseless, Rita points the sword at him, demanding to know who sent him. It becomes evident to the imposter that Rita operates on an entirely different level. Failing to provide an answer, he watches as Rita ruthlessly shreds his mask into pieces, revealing his remarkably attractive face. This encounter reminds Rita of her blood type horoscope's prediction of meeting a fated individual on this eventful day.

Upon witnessing the complete visage of Club before her, Rita was captivated by his striking appearance, causing his features to radiate in her eyes. He swiftly climbed to the second spot on her list of handsome guys to date, igniting a curiosity in her as she inquired about his relationship status. Amidst Rita's perplexing reactions, Club simply responded that he did not have a girlfriend, entertaining the notion that Rita may have developed feelings for him. Seizing the opportunity, he boldly propositioned her to go out on a date, employing the classic maneuver of pinning her against a wall, leaving Rita flustered. His intention was to coax Rita into lowering her guard, all the while attentively observing that the sword she brandished remained steadfast in her grip. Inquisitively, she posed a question related to a ramen dish, initially considering that he would mention starting with the soup. However, to her surprise, Club revealed that he began with the meat while trying to see any opening, planning to swiftly eliminate her, but before he could act, Rita delivered a powerful and fatal blow, inflicting severe damage upon him as she was caught off guard by his answer.

Rita hurriedly made her way into the kindergarten premises while simultaneously trying to call the Principal. Unbeknownst to her, Club had managed to survive the fatal blow she had inflicted on him earlier and was now pointing a gun at her. However, before he could pull the trigger, he was shot in the head, resulting in his death. Rita soon realized that her colleague had come to her aid, having taken the shot from close range, saving her life.
