Roland, a legendary assassin known as “Hazure Skill ‘Kage ga Usui,'” abandons his team and takes down the demon king alone. Upon his triumphant return, the grateful king offers him any reward he desires. Struggling to decide, Roland realizes he hasn’t considered life beyond assassination in years. His mind drifts to a conversation with a former teammate, who once shared her dreams for the future after their mission ended. Torn between his past and an uncertain future, Roland hesitates, unsure of what to ask for. The weight of his choices lingers as he reflects on a life defined by violence. Memories of his comrade’s hopeful words echo in his mind, contrasting sharply with his own emptiness. The king waits patiently, unaware of Roland’s internal conflict. For the first time, the assassin faces a dilemma unrelated to death—what does he truly want? The question lingers, unanswered, as he stands before the throne. The path ahead remains unclear, leaving Roland at a crossroads between his old life and an unknown destiny.
