A few days later
"Knock, Knock"
" Sir, this is Shinigami Taizhou, I'm here to give my report on my part in the operation."(Taizhou)
"You may enter."(Dokuro)
"Creak"
Shinigami Taizhou then entered the chief's office, before giving his report, he first requested the chief for something.
"Chief, before we begin, may I lower the window's blind?"(Taizhou)
"Sure, have it your way."(Dokuro)
" Shaaaa"
He then lowers the window's blind, after confirming that no one outside can see what is happening inside, he then remains standing in front of the chief's table.
The chief urged Taizhou to sit on the chair in front of the table but he, for some reason refused to do so. Ignoring that, the chief then said.
"Let's hear the report shall we."(Dokuro)
When the chief said that, Taizhou then began to sweat 'heavily', the chief then worriedly asked if Taizhou's condition is okay or not.
But what he (Taizhou) did after that was unpredictable.
He then did a 'dogeza' in front of the chief.
[Dogeza: Japanese groveling style]
Shinigami Taizhou then gave his report while groveling.
"Chief, I'm truly sorry!!, I have disappointed your trust in me."(Taizhou)
"I, Taizhou, has failed my part of the task, I'm very sorry!!"(Taizhou)
"I had reserved this particular serial killer just for the target, I even controlled his mind so that he won't murder anyone except for the target."(Taizhou)
"I even had the help of the Crowd Control Division so that no other human would realize the killer's appearance, I truly had disappointed everyone."(Taizhou)
Walking toward Taizhou, Dokuro then kneeled on one leg in front of him, he sympathetically patted Taizhou's shoulder, Dokuro then said.
"It is okay, everyone makes mistakes and you still haven't disappointed me."(Dokuro)
" What's important is not to do it again and learn from the mistake."(Dokuro
"So please stop groveling in front of me."(Dokuro)
"Sob, Chief!!"(Taizhou)
Taizhou with tears dropping from his eyes then raised his head toward the chief's mask, The chief then said this to him.
"Did you already forget, you aren't alone."(Chief)
The Next Day
After yesterday's failure, Dokuro is now a bit curious about Shinigami Iroha's progress in her part.
Unfortunately, even after he searched the whole building, he still couldn't find Iroha's figure anywhere.
When he returned to the office, he then asked one of his subordinates who happens to have her lunch in the office.
She is eating her sandwich when she noticed the chief's figure, she then asked the chief.
"Chief!, it's rare to see you in the office around this hour, are you looking for someone?, perhaps.... me?"(Riku)
While making a cross with his arm, Dokuro then said jokingly to the 'gyaru' shinigami with blonde hair.
"Bzzzt, you're incorrect."(Dokuro)
"Is that so."(Riku)
Returning his hand to the original position, Dokuro then said.
"Putting that matter aside, Shinigami Riku, do you know where-"(Dokuro)
Before the chief was able to finish his sentence, Riku then interjects with.
"Chief, haven't I told you multiple times to call me Riku, you sound so stiff when you call me that way."(Riku)
"But-"(Dokuro)
"La La La, I can't hear you."(Riku)
"R-Riku, did you saw where did Shinigami Iroha go? I haven't seen her for the whole day, do you know where to find her?"(Dokuro)
"Aaah, if you are looking for 'Irohacchi' I saw her exited the ladies room just now."(Riku)
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
[Riku's nickname for Iroha]
"She might be at her table, but she looks dark, I mean a serious level of darkness."(Riku)
After conversing with Riku, the chief then goes to the corner of the office, there he saw the figure of Iroha sitting against the wall and muttering the same thing while holding both of her legs.
"I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED, I HAVE FAILED....."(Iroha)
"Uwaaah!!"(Dokuro)
"That startled me,...Shi-"(Dokuro)
Remembering Riku's word, Dokuro then instantly changed his word.
"Iroha, are you alright?"(Dokuro)
"Chief..."(Iroha)
Iroha then stopped muttering, when Iroha noticed that her 'beloved' chief's figure is standing before her, she then teared up, while crying she then said.
"Chief, sob, I'm sorry, sob, my plan has failed."(Iroha)
The chief then wiped Iroha's tear using his handkerchief, he then brought Iroha to the office's lounge.
He then made Iroha sit on a wooden bench beside the vending machine, he then bought a can of hot cocoa for Iroha.
"Thanks... Chief."(Iroha)
"Have you calmed down?"(Dokuro)
"I guess so."(Iroha)
One of Iroha's specialties is disguising her killing as an accident that occurs around animals, her average kill rate is over 90% it is very rare for her to fail.
And somehow the target managed to make the usually cheerful Iroha into her current gloomy self.
"Your gloomy self doesn't suit you at all, all of us is much happier with your usual self."(Dokuro)
"Chief, even you... Are you pleased with my usual self?"(Iroha)
"Of course I am."(Dokuro)
After that, Iroha then told me about what happened, she had dropped a single vase from a high place but it looks like the target was able to dodge it.
Because of that, she then dropped several more of the vase, on that moment, the target's aura then changed drastically.
He then smoothly evaded all of her vases, all of her hard work stalking the target for over a week is now worthless.
"Is he even a human?"(Dokuro)
That was the chief's honest thought, after cheering Iroha up, he then raised the difficulty level of Kisaragi Touma.
He then personally made a new plan with Shinigami Arata, after hours of overtime, they then have created an un-evadable plan.
This plan was formed with the target's mysterious superhuman ability as its center.
A few days later
While the chief is enjoying his afternoon tea, Shinigami Arata then suddenly went inside the chief's office.
The chief is startled enough by Arata's sudden appearance that his teacup even managed to slip from his finger.
But with the chief's inhumanly shinigami ability, he managed to grab the cup and also collected the tea before it spills to the floor.
"You better have a good reason for all of this."(Arata)
Arata with an unbelieving face then reported what happened while he tries to kill the target.
"Chief, I have never met a human like that ever in my life"(Arata)
Arata's shinigami ability allows him to hijack any vehicle car, motorcycle, and even a truck.
With his abilities, he managed to kill every human that has been assigned to him.
In Japan, his modus operandi is popularized by light novels, anime, and manga as 'Truck-kun, Car-kun, Train-kun and etc'.
While sipping his tea, the chief calmly asked him.
"What did he do to make you say that?, shouldn't our plan would be perfect?"(Dokuro)
Arata then begins his story of the perfect plan that has been created by him and the chief.
It goes like this, the target is sick thanks to the Curse and Illness Division, we even had made sure to empty his medicine supply so that he has no choice but to go out to buy medicine.
Unfortunately, on the afternoon the target had recovered enough for him to sanely buy a medicine.
"That's impossible, curse from that division can only be cured by their member or a strong spiritual human."(Dokuro)[Shaman, Exorcist, Priest and etc]
"That isn't the worst part yet."(Arata)
"Because he had recovered too soon, we then switched to plan B, ambush him with the truck."(Arata)
"Continue."(Dokuro)
"When he completed his purchase, my colleague then has arranged a random kid to play with a ball on the side of the street, on the same time my colleague then moved the girl's ball to the street, the target who saw the truck which is going to hit the girl then goes to save the girl."(Arata)
"Did you just use an innocent girl to kill the target?, that isn't in the plan."(Dokuro)
"No no no, the girl is safe, but that is the problem."(Arata)
"So, what's wrong I don't see any problem with that.... Wait, did he survive?"(Dokuro)
"Yes, he survived, I'm so sorry for all of this, this is all my fault"(Arata)
"It's okay, you need to know your mistakes."(Dokuro)
"You won't comfort me or something?"(Arata)
"Why should I?, go ask your lover for that."(Dokuro)
"That's true, Chief you're a genius."(Arata)
Saying that Arata then excitedly exited the office.
"But that's just me being sarcastic."(Dokuro)
"Explode!! you damn normie." Said the chief in a low volume.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
"Kisaragi Touma, for my subordinates sake, I will personally end you."(Dokuro)
The next day, the chief then came to The Realm Of The Living as a living human.
This particular human is the chief's personal avatar in the living realm, he always used this avatar when he kills anyone.
The avatar is quite famous all around the world as the serial bomber 'The Reaper', he is an actual Grim Reaper though.
After confirming that the target has left the house, he then set up some time bomb inside the target and his neighbor's house.
With the help of his colleagues, they had made an excuse so that all of the target neighbors won't be coming home for the night.
He also had to make sure that the target is exhausted at work by messing with the work of the target's boss.
After that, Dokuro waited for the moment when the target come home.
When the target has entered his house, Dokuro then created a barrier surrounding the building so that the target won't be able to escape.
After confirming that there is no being other than the target inside the apartment, he then goes.
"EXPLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!"(Dokuro)
'KABOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!'
With a loud boom, Dokuro then finally finished his division's task.
After finishing his job, the chief then returned to the Shinigami Realm, he then entered the office.
The shinigami is anxiously waiting for the chief's word, he then said to his division with a voice full of seriousness.
"The target's life... has been reaped."(Chief)
Hearing the news, the whole division then celebrated their chief achievement.
When Kisaragi Touma arrived at the white room, the trio (Taizhou, Iroha, Arata) then takes their revenge on him using the letter and some other stuff.
