I remembered what happened during raid earlier.

Kirizaya: It's not wrong to be kind, but choose who you want to be kind to. Honestly speaking, I don't like the idea of your father only be prisoned for ten years.

Me:...

Kirizaya: Remember, (Y/N). When you decided to be with me for the internship, you have decided to let me prepare you for the worst.

Me:... Shake.

The car then was filled with silence. As I was staring into nothingness, I felt something landed on my left shoulder. I looked to my left and saw Hu Tao was sleeping with her head on my shoulder.

I smiled a little. Then, Kirizaya spoke.

Kirizaya: To tell you the truth, I'm planning to retire after Hu Tao graduate from UA.

Me: Takana?

Kirizaya: I made a certain promise with somebody to protect that innocent smile of her. I'm afraid if I continue with this career, I'm not able to fulfill that promise.

I could see a sad smile formed on his face from the rear view mirror.

Kirizaya: (Y/N), ever since I became a hero and also an assassin for PSC, countless families have lost someone dear to them. This world we're living in is a rotten one. To survive, we have to be selfish sometimes. (Y/N), protect what's left for you the best you can because it'll be either them or you that will leave first.

I looked at him and then Hu Tao before nodding.

Me: Shake.

Kirizaya:*smiles* Good.

The Next Day
Kirizaya's House
Dining Area
(Y/N) POV

Kirizaya: I need to go now. Soap and Ghost will be here in 30 minutes. Mind your manners around them, okay?

Me&Hu Tao: Shake/Okay!

He stood up and took his coat before leaving the house. Hu Tao and I continued eating our breakfast.

Hu Tao: Hey, (Y/N)-kun. Do you believe in ghost? The supernatural one, of course. Not the skull guy.

Well, that was sudden.

Me: Shake.

Hu Tao: Really? What makes you believe they exist? Have you seen one?

Me: Shake.

Hu Tao: Oh, really? How does it look?

I pointed to her shoulder. She looked at her shoulder and saw Kaen, her blazing spirit.

She pouted.

Hu Tao: Kaen doesn't count!

Why, though? You said it yourself that Kaen was a spirit.

I questioned her in my head and tilted my head.

Hu Tao: Well, okay fine. Kaen is something you consider as a ghost. But what I mean is human spirit. Have you seen one?

Me: Okaka.

Hu Tao: I see. Looks like you really don't have that ability, huh?
