After enjoying a delicious al brought to by Minami's employee and conversing a bit in private to finalise our deal, it was almost ti to start up the stream again.
Naturally, as the ti neared for my assassination to comnce, sinister black clouds soon rolled in to fill the ever-darkening evening sky, and resonant crackles could be heard echoing throughout the city like a mighty whip of Zeus.
Glancing between I and the magnificent flashes of light that connected Heaven and Earth, Minami appeared to contemplate sothing beside .
"Are you sure we'll be alright out here? I would prefer this outfit to not get soaked," She asked, peering up at the looming clouds above.
I tersely replied with eyes glued to the smartphone in my hands as I checked the ti once again. "It's a dry thunderstorm."
21:25.
There were 35 minutes until 10pm, the ti of my proclaid death.
"Alright. Then, let's resu the stream."
Turning the cara on and changing the setting back to normal, I confird that everything was working properly.
"Hello."
[I will cry if he doesn't co back soon. The rock paper scissors was the funniest thing I've seen in a while]
[He's back]
[OMG]
[Our King 👑 Our King 👑 Our King 👑 Our King 👑]
[so many weirdos in chat excited about a guy who literally killed people]
[^^ 🤨why u here then??]
[^^ its fake *******]
It appears that the total number of viewers has decreased considerably, but most of the people who remained are engrossed.
About 400 viewers.
Still, though, I'm surprised there are this many people wanting to watch. Ordinarily, just like that one guy pointed out, people wouldn't want to watch sothing bizarre like this, right?
Although I knew people would want from what others couldn't provide, I simply couldn't understand it... But, I suppose it doesn't matter so long as they enjoy it.
"Okay, the special event is soon to begin, guys―don't blink or you'll miss it."
Turning away from the cara with that, I gave one word to Minami.
"Watch."
Taken aback by my sudden command, she blinked and―
Whoosh-- Pang-!
Sothing whizzed past my ear as I slightly tilted my head the other way, impacting the floor behind .
"...Eh? Wha... What was that?"
"I told you to hide."
The enemy this ti was a sniper. I crouched down to pick up the 7.62mm bullet that buried itself into the floor. It was warm, but nothing too bad, and I presented it to the cara.
"See, this is why you don't blink. One of these is so fast it can take you out in less than a tenth of that ti."
I didn't an that they should never blink, but they understand what I an. It's just a cautionary ssage. I turned back to where I was shot from and gazed out into the distance.
"Hm."
I honestly had no idea where the guy that shot was from up here, but apparently he was out there sowhere. Of course, I knew the vague location, and I could just ask where he was if I wanted the specifics, but there was no need for that.
"Take this as another lesson from ."
Facing the cara, I pulled a black stick topped with a red button from my coat pocket.
"Preparedness is key. Do you know why?"
Following that, I took out a second, third, and fourth identical stick and held them, two in each hand.
Just because I couldn't see the enemy didn't an I couldn't attack them, after all.
"So long as you are adequately prepared, nothing can stop you. Whether it's a sniper eyeing you from over a thousand tres away―"
I clicked the button on one of the sticks and a resounding explosion reverberated in the far distance.
"A squad of ard fools waiting on the ground floor who believe they've outsmarted you―"
Dropping the previous stick onto the floor, I pressed another one, to similar effect.
"A hidden helicopter, lying in wait for the situation to turn south to gun you down―"
Repeating the gesture for the third ti, I peeked to see Minami staring at various locations throughout the city, utterly aghast.
"Or a concealed, underground missile silo that intends to bomb you as a last resort when the plan inevitably fails―"
For the fourth and final ti, I pressed the button, letting the last detonator drop to the floor with a light clatter.
Boom--!!
I inwardly smiled as I listened to the faint sounds of panic and terror beginning to chi up around the city, but it was their fault to begin with.
"No matter what it is, rember; so long as you're prepared for it, it's not a problem."
I think that should do for today's lecture. I'm sure there'll be those who think 'oh, but even when I prepare, I still fail', and to that I laugh and say you failed because you didn't prepare enough.
Like I said before, if you are adequately prepared, you may not be able to accomplish absolutely anything you want, but at the very least it'll be impossible for anyone less prepared to stop you.
"That is why I am the winner."
Despite the enemy possessing might that far surpasses that of my own, numbers I would never be able to surpass, and political power on an incomprehensible level.
In spite of that, I pulled the ground right from under them and won before they even had a chance to make a move.
"All because I was more prepared than they were."
You'll have to try harder next ti, military.

Once the special event―that was, foiling the governnt's assassination plan―had concluded, I swiftly ended the broadcast after notifying the viewers I would be going live again later.
I don't think the governnt recognised , seeing as how they planned sothing so basic, but well, they should've learnt their lesson from this.
Minami sohow seed both uncertain and relieved once the contract was signed, but because she insisted on adding the condition that I would not put her in any danger while the contract was still in action, that's how it ended up.
The end date of the contract is in exactly a years' ti, so mid-July next year.
Before then, I plan to have uprooted both the Chrysanth Order―or more precisely, their new head―and...
Well, there was another group who have been after for a long ti, but they haven't made a move in a long ti. Now that I'm having to deal with this, though, I'm sure they'll begin to take action.
First thing's first, I need a little money.
As I have ntioned previously, I'm not going to ask Minami when it cos to financial assistance―that would defeat the entire purpose of signing the contract, after all―so I have to find another way.
It's not so difficult for soone like ; obviously, there are things like stocks, and I'll do those after I get a nice starting amount.
But, to get that starting amount, I wanted to do sothing that takes out two birds with one stone.
To that end, I planned to use the good old fashioned thod of making money.
A bank robbery.
