My father introduced me to the three members of the Chaos Gate that would be assigned to my group, who will apparently protect me, teach me the ropes, and help me complete missions for the organization, which will also help me gain not just more money, but also Chaos Gate Contribution, which apparently is a currency my father created in the form of black coins, they can be exchanged for incredibly valuable items that not I as his daughter is allowed to obtain easily.

Because this world was created using Cosmic Power from… I think Frankʼs ”true power” which originates from an Overseer, beings beyond Universes, it is certainly immensely strong, a material of this world could be worth more than even most treasures I could farm inside my Divine Realm, so I want some of that.

Also, if Iʼm going to compromise with working for this organization as my fatherʼs daughter, I have to put in the effort as well and do some missions, gaining the trust of the members of this organization in the process.

Anyway…

Sakamoto Heisuke.

Nagumo Uzuki.

And just ”Takamura”.

These were the three experienced men assigned to my team by my father, carefully handpicked, they were probably his favorites or something, I can already tell.

”I see, it seems youʼve chosen quite the trio, father,” I said with a smile. ”Nice to meet you three! I hope we can get along; Iʼll be in your care from now on.”

”Itʼs an honor,” Heisuke said with a nod. ”You two should try to act more formal with the young lady. Stop yawning, Uzuki.”

”A-Ah… I didnʼt sleep twelve hours last night…” Uzuki yawned again. ”And we had to wake up so early today…”

”Heh, youʼre in front of the boss, Uzuki, stop acting so cocky~” Giggled Takamura.

”Hah, Iʼve grown sued to how he is at this point,” said my father. ”Perhaps if he was only a lazy bum I would have already kicked him out of the organization, but heʼs quite capable, my daughter, all things considered.”

”Is that so? Well Iʼm looking forward to what they can do!” I said. ”Um, Heisuke?”

”Yes, young lady?” Heisuke looked at me with curiosity.

”I was wondering, how strong are you?” I wondered.

”Oh? Are you perhaps interested in my strength? Well…” Heisuke suddenly smiled lightly. ”I would dare say I am quite strong… Not just anybody can become a twelfth rank hitman.”

”Ohhh, are you as strong as Wasp or the others?” I asked.

”Wasp, Doctor Frankenstein, and Lady Medea possess various skills other than assassination, their positions arenʼt just based in their raw power alone, but in their ancientness, their status in this world, and the incredible capabilities only they possess compared to everyone else,” he said, readjusting his glasses. ”But… if I were to compare myself to them, I am not sure. I might be physically stronger and more capable than… perhaps Lady Medea, equal to Doctor Frankenstein in some respects, and… I am definitely not at the level of Wasp… yet.”

”Oh, so youʼre weaker than me then,” I nodded. ”Father is this ok? Will I be the one babysitting them?”

”Hahahah!” my father laughed. ”Kireina, youʼre misunderstanding something, raw power is not everything, techniques, skills, special abilities, magic, all can amount to more power. He isnʼt wrong though, Wasp, Medea, and Frankenstein have reached their levels in my society due to many factors, but I can assure you of something… I have not picked them for nothing, and they will prove to be useful to you. Their strength is also unique and so their abilities, destructive power is sometimes not good for things in the city. They have specialized into assassination techniques and handling things ”lowkey” as you could say.”

”We do recognize your strength, young lady, nobody could easily just beat down Wasp like you did,” Heisuke said with a smile. ”But that doesnʼt mean I am weaker than you. Wasp… I believe he had yet to even show all his power. At the end, he simply would never bring himself to kill you, so most of his abilities, which are all specialized for lethal attacks, werenʼt even used.”

”Hmm… Alright, I guess Iʼll believe you and my fatherʼs words for now, sorry for being rude,” I said with a gentle smile. ”I am quite excited to work with you and the other two, Heisuke. I hope I can learn a lot from you.”

”Likewise, I believe we can also learn a lot from you, young lady, your strength and your abilities, itʼll help us learn more about who you are and how you act,” he said. ”And perhaps, you could even gain our support.”

”The higher the ranks in my organization, the more authority and influence they have,” my father explained. ”If you can earn their trust and support, other members might stop looking at you weirdly, and might recognize you as someone capable, Kireina.”

”I see…” I nodded.

”Thereʼs many mechanisms, rules, and special things in our organization that can only be obtained with higher ranks, contribution, and experience,” my father said. ”And even though youʼre my daughter and Iʼve given you plenty, and will continue giving you more, I cannot simply let you access all these privileges for free. As you said before, you wanted to earn them, right? Ultimately, this was your idea, but I agreed with it and liked it enough to go this far.”

”I see, thatʼs completely and perfectly understandable, father,” I nodded. ”Very well, Iʼve already had my breakfast, so let me go to the bathroom for ten minutes and weʼll be ready, boys.”

”Iʼll wait patiently, ojou-sama~” Takamura said, sitting over a couch and eyeing my maids. ”Can any of cuties bring me something to drink? Maybe coffee?”

”Of course, sir,” Ismena nodded. ”Acelina, bring something for them to eat as well.”

”Y-Yes!” Acelina nodded.

They were maids, and these hitmen were high ranking, so they naturally had to serve them… though Takamura is a bit on the pervy side, the bastard.

Well, as long as he doesnʼt do anything…

”Takamura, stop acting like you own the place,” Heisuke said.

”Come on, the boss said we could act casually with the young lady and do as we please, right boss?” Takamura said.
