For months, Hikaru has dedicated himself to completing a job: ending the life of a target. After fulfilling his mission, he returns home, where his sister tells him their grandmother is furious.
In a family of assassins, methods matter, and since Hikaru doesn’t want to marry and have an heir, his grandmother is pressuring his sister to get pregnant.
Hikaru thought this would be the end of the family, but with his grandmother’s pressure, he has begun to consider his options.
Meanwhile, another client calls him to eliminate Mei, a marriage swindler who has scammed various people, including criminals.
Hikaru doesn’t hesitate to inject her with poison, while his clients watch from another room. Mei tries to explain that everything she’s done is to save her sick brother.
Hikaru’s policy is to kill bad people, and something about this job doesn’t sit right with him. The phone rings; his sister tells him that their grandmother has ordered her to return home and get pregnant at all costs.
Hikaru doesn’t want his sister to sacrifice herself for the family and tells her he’ll find a partner instead. Taking advantage of Mei’s presence, who doesn’t seem like such a bad person, he tries to propose a deal.
But without giving details, Mei tells him it’s impossible. Meanwhile, the poison begins to take effect, and Hikaru tells her that if she offers him her services, he can save her.
At that moment, the people who hired him enter and order him to kill her, only for Hikaru to use his poison to escape.
Once recovered, Mei immediately begins working and tells Hikaru that he’s actually a man who dresses as a woman, and that she has no doubt she’ll find a bride for him.
