Chapter 11: Can't let my identity slip

(Y/N)'s POV:

I woke up in an unfamiliar scenery until I realized that I was in Shalnark's room.

I guess I fell asleep.

The tablets actually helped, my headache is gone.

I pushed myself off the bed and walked out of the bedroom. The hallway is quiet, the only thing I hear is the sound of my footsteps.

I walked into the room that was covered with rocks and saw that all the members where sitting there.

As I was about to go to Feitan and Phinks who were sitting in a corner, someone called my name.

"(Y/N)!"

I turned around to see Machi staring at me. She signaled me to come over to her which I did.

"We are being hunted by the mafia.", she explained while pointing at some members including herself.

"Or rather they set a price on our heads and if someone kills us they'll get 2 billion Jenny or some shit.", she corrected herself but waved it off afterwards.

"So, you, Nobunaga and I are going out into town."

"What? Won't you guys be in danger?", I questioned.

"It doesn't matter.", Nobunaga stated.

"Can't other members go instead of you two? Others that aren't being searched for?", I asked

"We'll wait for someone to find us. Then we'll act as bait, to draw out the prey.", Machi explained.

I was thoughtful for a moment.

But they're being hunted by the mafia. The people who told me to assassinate the Phantom Troupe. What would happen if they saw me with them?

Then again, if I disagree everyone will grow suspicious. I mean, they're not stupid. Especially Machi.

I heaved a sigh and agreed.

---Timeskip---

We were sitting at a table in the middle of the city. In the open.

I insisted on wearing sunglasses. When they questioned it I explained that I would wear it so no one can easily recognize me. They eyed me for a second but eventually bought it.

I sipped on my can of bear and slightly gagged. Never drinking that shit again.

"Was Uvo really killed?", Nobunaga asked out of the blue, still looking at all the people in front of us.

"Probably." "Yes he was", Machi and I answered simultaneously. Both of them eyed me, slightly shocked by my answer, but then went back to drinking their beer.

I turned around and saw a couple behind us. They were both staring at us intensely, while  woman was holding a phone. She's probably filming us.

Never mind. I couldn't care less.

"Uvo was more than just a dumb brute.", the black-haired man next to me spoke up. I looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"I know that.", Machi replied.

Why do I feel bad right now? Why do I feel bad for killing my target? He's just another person. I didn't even know him.
