(Seishirou Tsugumi Perspective) (Nisekoi)
I have dedicated my entire life to serving the Kirisaki family. I was raised with the sole responsibility of protecting my Ojou-sama and being the Hive's weapon.
Throughout my life, I have been an elite assassin who does not disobey orders. I destroyed every thing and person that was an obstacle to Bee Hive Gang, I never hesitated to pull the trigger regardless of whether the enemy was women, the elderly, or children.
I didn't even hesitate when I was on a mission to capture the man I love. Despite the feeling of guilt, I shot Luis and he only managed to escape because he is smarter and more careful than me. If he had made a small mistake, I would have killed him when he tried to escape from the United States...
After Luis escaped to Japan, I felt an overwhelming mix of emotions that often gave me nightmares.
It hurt me to think that Luis used me as a tool, it hurt me to think that I hurt the only man I've ever loved, it hurt me to think that I was betraying the Kirisaki family for not being able to kill Luis, it hurt me to think that I didn't I regretted having tried to kill Luis… My sense of duty and my own feelings hurt every second.
When I met Luis again, I felt extreme happiness seeing him alive, at the same time, I felt deep hatred seeing him alive.
It was a painful and contradictory feeling, but my feelings calmed down when I talked to Luis and we recovered our relationship.
Even though Luis forgave me and showed me how much he loves me, there was something that kept stabbing at my heart. Even when Luis became my husband, I didn't regret trying to kill him because, in my heart, I didn't feel like I did anything wrong, I just followed orders like I always do.
I didn't realize that feeling of guilt, it was even possible that I could live with that feeling for the rest of my life, but now I can't ignore those feelings.
I did not stop loving Luis, on the contrary, I love him more than ever and I prefer to die than lose him.
When we were sent into a world of magic, I noticed how important Luis had become to me. I even thought of abandoning Ojou-sama in order to be by Luis's side...
Seeing him fight desperately to protect us was touching. For a moment, I felt like he would do anything to protect me.
I'm not a princess who needs a knight like in fairy tales, I'm not cut out to be a weak lady, but deep in my heart, I like the feeling of having someone willing to do anything to protect me.
When we returned to Japan, I wanted to talk to Luis about my feelings, I wanted to express how much I love him and that he is my real priority, but I had to wait because a dangerous incident arose and Luis had to travel to China.
Luis would only be gone two or three weeks so I prepared a special event to welcome him, my greatest wish is to show him how much I love him without my own shame making me hide my feelings. I know that Luis can fully understand my heart since he has always been a manipulative bastard, but I want to be able to tell him how much I love him with my own voice.
Things should be calm and peaceful, but instantly everything went to the bottom of the abyss.
I usually spend my time together with Ojou-sama to take care of her, but one day she had a private conversation with the young lady from the Tachibana family so I had some free time.
I took a little walk around the Kirisaki family residence and accidentally heard something that almost broke my heart.
The members of a supposed alliance were to obstruct the Ichijo family's reinforcements for three days, enough time to deal with the Hero of Harmony. Three days would be enough to destroy the will and mind of Seiji Ichijo, who had been captured and isolated in a heavily guarded location.
Those words were said by a high-ranking member of the gang so I didn't even try to confirm this information with Claude-sama or the Kirisaki family, it was very possible that Ojou-sama's father or Claude-sama wanted to get rid of Luis.
I also couldn't go with the Ichijo family since the yakuza leader might not believe my words, he has a deep friendship with Ojou-sama's father and he might not believe me.
The Tachibana family specializes in defense so they're not a good fit for rescue missions, plus I don't completely trust them since they're government-affiliated police forces and anything involving the government always has two sides.
I didn't have time to talk to Ojou-sama since time was my biggest obstacle, I couldn't gather allies for the dangerous mission either, I could only psych myself up to undertake a suicide mission.
Before leaving for China, Luis showed me a small group of elite subordinates that he prepared in case of emergencies.
I gathered that group and thus got a small boat that would allow me to leave Japan without attracting the attention of the naval forces.
I originally thought of doing this mission alone, but a co-worker was willing to tag along with me on this suicide mission.
Paula McCoy, a prodigy sniper who is among the top 10 snipers in the world.
Luis always describes Paula as a temperamental brat, spoiled and idiotic. I can't deny that description, but despite everything, Paula is one of the most reliable people I know since she is not totally loyal to Bee Hive Gang, but to her friends.
When Luis and I had a relationship in the United States, Paula sometimes interrupted us when we were in intimate moments.
She doesn't want to admit it, but it's obvious that she has some feelings for Luis since he was the first person to treat Paula like a girl and not like a weapon. In fact, I fell in love with Luis for the same reason.
When we left the maritime territory of Japan, we did not go directly to China, but to a point in the sea without the jurisdiction of any country.
Luis has always criticized me for being an impulsive woman who only uses violence to solve problems. I hit him when she says that, silly.
Although hearing that is unpleasant, I also take it into account since the life of a mercenary is full of danger and brute force alone is not enough to survive.
I know my shortcomings, I know that Paula and I are not enough to rescue Luis from one of the world powers.
Luis has explained to me that supernatural beings cannot interfere in human conflicts, so if our group is made up of humans without supernatural abilities, then the cultivators will not be able to hinder the rescue.
I have superhuman strength and Paula has one of the best marksmen in the world, but that's not enough, what we need is a brilliant and unscrupulous mind.
Before leaving Japan, I contacted the only person who is as crazy as Luis and she will not hesitate to help me. The only way to get that person's attention was by sending him a photo of me with Luis, and a message requesting help to rescue Luis.
Being in maritime territory without jurisdiction, a ship approached ours.
It's close to midnight so I used a flashlight to make the agreed signal.
The boat stopped on our side and a group of people boarded our boat.
"If this is a trap from your shitty gang, don't think you're going to leave this fucking place alive" – A woman looked at me with disgust while holding a gun in her right hand and a radio communicator in her left.
Luis's subordinates accompanying me were expressionless as machines, but they held their weapons in preparation for a fight.
I sighed. – "Rebecca, I have always thought that you are a psychopath and I don't like you, but this time, stop saying stupid things and listen to me, Luis is in a big problem and I need your help"
"And why should I believe you?" Rebecca looked at me coldly. – "As far as I remember, your shitty gang wants to kill Luis… The only reason I haven't put a bullet between your eyes is that the idiot values you too much… tch"
Rebecca's killing intent has grown to an insane point, she has become a bloodthirsty beast.
Luis and Rebecca have both changed so much that it makes me long for the old days…
"You can think what you want, but I'm serious, Luis was captured by very dangerous people, I can't rescue him without your help" – I opened a briefcase and took out a series of documents that summarized everything that was happening.
Before I escaped from the Kirisaki residence, I was able to find these documents, so I took them and escaped from Japan. Rebecca is just as paranoid as Luis, so she will never agree to cooperate with me if I don't show her enough evidence.
Rebecca flipped through the documents casually, but after reading the first page, her expression turned serious. That expression only got worse with each page she read, in the end, her expression only showed an intense desire to kill.
Rebecca pointed her gun at my face. I had to raise my hand so Luis's subordinates wouldn't attack it.
"Are you fucking with me you fucking bitch?! Are several of the most powerful groups in the world behind Luis's kidnapping?!" – Rebecca seemed to be on the verge of losing her mind. – "Your fucking shitty gang is to blame for this! I'm going to kill all of you fucking bunch of assholes!"
Compared to me, she never questioned her feelings for Luis, that's why Luis was closer to her than he was to me and that always made me feel jealous, but now this brings me a feeling of happiness. At least I can trust her.
Rebecca… Well, Revy, she turned on the radio communicator in her hand and gave a brief message. – "I will need another favor…"
"Understood" – A female voice came out of the communicator.
The sea began to shake and a submarine came out next to us...
I looked blankly at Revy. - "Seriously?"
Revy shrugged. – "Did you really think that I would meet you without a plan to protect myself from ambushes? You are still the same idiot as always, the only good thing you have is your body because your stupidity is bigger than your breasts"
… Now I remember why I hate this woman…
For now, I'll focus on rescuing Luis, then I'll beat up this ridiculous woman.
