Zwei Association South Section 5

Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Hello~?
Heathcliff (Zwei Section 5)
…….
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
I'm talking to you, Heathcliff.
Heathcliff (Zwei Section 5)
...What.
It's a bright, sunny day in the City.
The child sat on a bench, wearing a pair of pitch black sunglasses.
Next to her was another child, totally confident that he didn't look suspicious in the slightest.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Do you seriously think you don't look suspicious with the way you're acting?
Heathcliff (Zwei Section 5)
...Long as you don't keep bugging me with the prattle. What, there a problem?
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Yeah, I've got a problem. Who reads both pages of a newspaper like that in this day and age?
Heathcliff (Zwei Section 5)
...Ugh.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
If you're going to do that, at least stop peeking over the pages.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
You're going to scare our VIP away, 'kay?
The child sighed deeply, belittling her coworker.
The two children were conducting a covert mission. Specifically, it was 'appointed-persons protection', one of the Zwei's job categories.
It's a well-known fact that the Zwei Association specializes in client protection, but their exact methodology isn't so public.
Covert supervision was one of those methodologies: a service for people who want protection without interruption to their daily lives.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Haah... Won't something please happen? Just dawdling here is starting to get boring.
However, the child appears rather disgruntled.
Understandably so, as she was assigned an appointed-persons protection job only because of her proclivity to act naturally in unfamiliar circumstances...
Not because this was what she wanted to do per se.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Ugh... I should've picked a different job. But this looked so cool on paper...
...Perhaps the child wasn't entirely free of fault.
Heathcliff (Zwei Section 5)
…Hold on, he's on the move.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
What? He's supposed to faff around there for another hour or... oi!
The child next to her rose to his feet, crumpling the paper.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Woohoo~ Something's finally happening!
Heathcliff (Zwei Section 5)
Blimey, speak of the devil...
An excited child and a frustrated child...
The duo subtly strode up behind the VIP.
Shady Dealer (???)
...Hey.
Clumsy VIP (???)
H-Hey?
Shady Dealer (???)
You really don't get what's going down, do you?
Shady Dealer (???)
Look, I'm threatening you right now, got it~?
Clumsy VIP (???)
W-What in the? I'm just here to meet someone for the contract payment...
Shady Dealer (???)
Meet someone? More like greet my blade. Now, say hello!
Clumsy VIP (???)
A—Ahh...
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Alright, hold your horses!
A heavy thwack echoed through the narrow alley.
Clumsy VIP (???)
W—Who are?! Ah… The Zwei?
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Yep~ Haven't seen each other since we signed the contract, eh?
Clumsy VIP (???)
Where in the world were you...
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Listen, can you stick to the routine you told us before~?
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
It's not easy being stealthy around you when you veer off your usual course...
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Anyways! From this point on, the Zwei's here to protect you!
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Heath! Get this lout straight outta here~!
With that, the child stepped in front of the client with her characteristic defensive stance.
Rodion (Zwei Section 5)
Alright, who's up next? Come on out!
Grinning that there was finally something to do.
