―It looks like I'm having a bad dream.

Right now, A Gun was pointed in front of me.

I vaguely think that I'm going to die like this. I should be afraid of the danger of my life, but I can't keep up with the unrealistic situation.

How did this happen? Time goes back three minutes.

◆◆◆

"Hey, wake up"

Hatoya's consciousness is forcibly awakened by being showered with a bucket of water from his head.

Unfamiliar room. Strict men stand around Hatoya. The body is handcuffed to a chair. One of the men punched him on the cheek, who was blinking his eyes because he couldn't understand the situation.

"Gha!? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-What are you doing!? Who the hell are you!?"

"We're members of the Okushima group... If I say that, you know what I'm doing, right?"

"No, I don't know, but..."

Speaking of Okushima-gumi, it should have been the name of the gangster office near the cake shop where Hatoya works. I've seen scary-looking men wandering around, but I tried not to look them in the eye as much as possible, and I don't remember doing anything that would cause them any resentment.

Memories are slowly coming back. Certainly, on the way to the shop where he worked part-time, he was grabbed from behind and a cloth was pressed against his mouth. Right after that, he suddenly lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he was in this situation.

One of the yakuza clicks his tongue at Hatoya, who looks flustered and confused.

"Are you going to fool around? It's clear that you're Thekiller 'Cuckoo'. You're going to assassinate our boss, aren't you?"

"... No, seriously, I don't know what you're talking about."

It was the truth without lies, but the yakuza man didn't listen. Punch Hatoya in the face again, causing the blood to rise to his head. The boy thought to himself that this person must be too short-tempered.

“I told you that your true identity has already been revealed!

"Evidence?"

Hatoya, who doesn't know what to say, asks back with a trembling voice. The man who punched the boy presents "evidence" to the boy in a theatrical manner, like a detective chasing down the criminal.

"You've been working part-time at the boss's favorite cake shop for the past two weeks, haven't you? You've been gathering information to assassinate the boss, right?"

"No, I just applied normally because the hourly wage is good..."

“Besides, since then, you often pass by the group’s office.

"It's just a path between school and my part-time job..."

“On top of that, you often talk to Tsubame-san, who is the granddaughter of the boss. You were trying to get information about the boss from Tsubame-san, right?”

“……Tsubame-san, is my senior at part-time job.

"And the ultimate proof is--"

It seems that no counterarguments have been received on this side. The yakuza man thrusts his finger at Hatoya, puffing out his chest as if he were demonstrating an excellent deduction.

"That's your name! Hatoya Karasuma! What a birdy name! It's definitive proof that you're actually a cuckoo!"

"Isn't that completely far-fetched!"

Even though I knew I shouldn't provoke him, I unintentionally pushed him out loud. As expected, the frenzied yakuza raises his fist again against Hatoya, who takes a rebellious attitude.

"Oi oi, when it's around that time. We don't want to be hostile to cuckoo, you know?"

However, before that fist could be swung down, a new person who entered the room stopped him with a voice. As tension runs through the yakuza in the room, a flirtatious man with blond hair and an expensive-looking suit appears in front of Hatoya.

“Wow, young head!?”

Who are you, young man? don't know Hatoya is left alone, but the people around him continue to talk without worrying about his thoughts.

"Are you the legendary assassin 'Cuckoo'?"

"No, it's not."

"Kukuku, isn't it a great performance? I can't think of him as an ordinary person. As expected of a legendary assassin."

Ah, this person is also the type who doesn't listen to people. Ignoring Hatoya, who is annoyed, the man called Wakagashira and the yakuza proceed on their own.

“We don’t want to interfere with your work. ”

"... Huh. Then why?"

“To get rid of the old man and his family and get the Okushima group. When the time comes, I can give you a bonus.It's not a bad story, right?"

Not a bad story. Except for the fact that they misunderstood Hatoya. Sweat drips down Hatoya's back as he wonders how to get out of this situation.

“…By the way, what if I refuse?”

"I'm sorry, but you'll have to die here."

It was an immediate answer. The young head took out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Hatoya.

And then we go back to the opening scene—

――Seven seconds left.

In the first second, the young head's arm was severed. Before anyone knew it, Hatoya had taken off the handcuffs and was holding the karambit he had hidden in his hand, and he swung it out in an instant.

Two seconds. Take the pistol from the young head's arm floating in the air. He shot one of the stunned yakuza in the forehead.

Three seconds. spot the target. Most people can't understand the sudden situation and stand still, but those who respond well are trying to reach out. Shoot and kill those people one by one.

Four seconds. After killing all those who react well, next time I will prioritize those with good physique. Don't forget to count the bullets as well. Throw away your gun when you run out of ammunition and close in on the survivors. Three people left.

Five seconds. Carambit accurately slashes the throats of the two. I catch the last person taking out a pistol out of the corner of my eye.

Six seconds. The muzzle is pointed here. Judging from the angle of fire, the bullet will pass 5mm from the side of the head. Plunge in without fear. Karambit had reaped his life by the time the bullet passed right through.

Seven seconds. Pull the gun out of the man's hand as he crumbles. Hatoya picked up his gun and pointed it at the still-living young head.

――It looks like you're having a bad dream.

The young head thought so while having the muzzle pointed in front of him.

I didn't even think I was careless. Who could have predicted that ten or more armed men would be killed in just seven seconds? I can't keep up with unrealistic situations.

"This is the legendary assassin 'Cuckoo'..."

"... I'll correct one misunderstanding."

Throwing away the frightened ordinary person's acting up until now, Hatoya spoke indifferently with an emotionless expression.

"My true identity is 'Cuckoo', but the job I was undertaking was not the assassination of the boss. I was the escort of his granddaughter, Tsubame-san. The client was the boss himself."

Since he was a hired man, Hatoya had no intention of taking special interest in the assassination of the gang leader, even if the young leaders were planning to do so.

However, the words ``Eliminate the old man and his family--'' became the trigger that awakened the monster. If the swallow that is the target of the protection is likely to be killed, the cuckoo must remove the obstacle.

What a farce. What a fatal mistake. The young head realizes his mistake and holds his bloody arm with a wry smile.

“…I can’t help it.

A face that changes to earthy color. Sweat that doesn't stop with fear. Still, the young head stared at Hatoya, his eyes shining like a child.

“But the last three minutes.

It was a sight worth seeing. In response to the young head saying that, Cuckoo put his strength into his finger without moving an eyebrow.
