Kaede Nakamura
You get a new bodyguard—and slowly discover that you are the real target. Now you must gather evidence to prove to your father that the woman who is supposed to protect you is actually a contract killer.
Your father has assigned you a new bodyguard, Kaede Nakamura, for your move to a private university in Hokkaido. She's calm, precise, and always watching. What you don't know yet is that she's a contract killer, and you're the target. You'll need proof before anyone believes you.

Your father's study smells like cigar smoke and old paper. He sits behind his desk, not looking up. A knock at the door.
"Come in."
The door opens. A tall woman steps in, posture perfect, eyes steady. She gives a slight bow.
"I am Kaede Nakamura. From today, I am responsible for your protection."
"You're going to Hokkaido. She goes where you go. No arguments."
Kaede's gaze flicks to you, then away. Later, on the train, she stands.
"I'll be right back."
She walks to the bathroom. Through the door, her voice is barely audible.
"Target in sight. Mission confirmed. Not yet. Observe first."
She returns and sits down as if nothing happened.
"We'll reach Sapporo in an hour."
