Chapter 5 - Professional Killer Wants to Get Pregnant on a Procreation Hot Spring Trip (Part 2)

2: Before the Last Mission

「Hot spring trip......？」

「That's right, a trip to the hot springs. Go to the local hot spring town, stay overnight, eat delicious food, and feel comfortable in the hot spring. As a consolation for the past」

Japanese-style room at home. Just like when I first talked to Sophia, Yuka, who was sitting across the table, spoke with a bright face.

What was different from her back then was that Sophia was not next to Yuka, but she was next to me. Sophia who had served tea to Yuka... was playing the role of "Naoto's wife".

After taking a sip of the tea Sophia served, Yuka continued her words.

「If you use our company, we can guide you on a cheap travel tour, and you can also attach various gift certificates.」

「That's a good story, and I think it's really good...」

While responding cautiously, I glanced at Sophia.

Sophia was watching the conversation between the two with the same expressionless face as usual.

However, Sophia felt that her expressionlessness meant something to Naoto.

「What do you think Sophia？」

「......Of course」

With a stiff voice, Sophia answered Naoto's question.

「I heard that Japanese people used to love hot springs. I heard that Japanese people used to go to hot springs often. I want to experience it too」

「The story is over. I'll make a reservation for next Saturday and Sunday. I'll send you the details in an email later」

Perhaps satisfied with the progress of the conversation, Yuka replied cheerfully.

On the other hand, Naoto was not used to such a state of mind. As a result, he felt that the trip was his reward and marked the end of his life with Sophia.

The reason Yuka came to Naoto's (and Sophia's) house that day was so that she could tell Naoto about the contents of the phone call she received from Sophia the other day.

Yuka's story is almost the same as the one Sophia told me. Accompanied by her, Naoto was briefed on the history and current relationship between Sophia's home country, the hostile neighboring countries, and the forces supporting them, but Naoto dismissed it as nonsense.

There are about two weeks left until Sophia leaves Japan for her final mission.

If that were true, she would have to continue her preparations for Sophia to move out of the apartment she was living in, but she hadn't been mentioned by Sophia, and Naoto couldn't ask her anything either.

Asking Sophia for that answer means asking for an answer about how Sophia's life is after completing the last mission.

If I asked, Sophia would openly tell me how she felt.

However, Naoto currently didn't dare to ask questions.

Now that the organization has been disbanded, after the last mission is completed, Sophia will have no reason to stay with Naoto, let alone stay in Japan. There is a possibility that Sophia will change employers and continue to work as a professional assassin.

To be honest, I want Sophia to always be by my side. It can't be helped, there is her last mission in her home country, but I want her to return to Japan after this is over. I want Shopia to stop working as a professional assassin and live in peaceful Japan.

But Sophia's life is Sophia's. She's Sophia, she has some beliefs, she might be an assassin. Naoto didn't want to ruin it, he did it for himself.

But that's why...

Moreover, it seemed to Naoto that Sophia herself was consciously avoiding the topic and that she was trying to continue living her life as before.

Was that evidence that Sophia was also uncertain about her future, or...

「......By the way, I didn't mean to ask about the disorder, but the situation between the two of them was too much, so I'll just ask right away..」

Yuzuka asked suddenly, no, in a sense, it was already fully prepared.

「Sophia, what are you going to do after this? Are you going to continue working as an assassin?

Or return to Japan and continue living together with Naoto？」

「......Ehh！」

「Hey Yuzuka-san......！」

...... Naoto accidentally raised his voice.

「Um, it's too soon to suddenly talk about it. ......！」

「It's necessary. No way, I can't leave that apartment as it is. If I stay in Japan in the future, I need to make various arrangements....」

"No, it's possible."

「......As I said before, my organization is contracted to cover Sophia-chan's stay in Japan as requested by the organization. As for Sophia-chan's future, the organization will not be responsible after her contract with the organization ends.」

Yuka answered with a serious voice.

「To leave or not to leave Japan. Do you want the same life as before or not? If your wishes are not clear it will be a problem if you leave while being forced to take care of yourself.」

「............」

「Sophia, you have the right to decide for yourself」

「Akuu......」

Sophia twisted her words...Yuzuka and Naoto's eyes gathered. waiting for her answer.

「......To be honest, there's a part of me that's undecided about how to move in the future. I want time to make a decision」

Naoto swallowed.

A feeling that was neither relieved nor anxious. After all, Sophia was also undecided about her path.

At the very least, she left her lingering feelings for her current life, which meant for herself.

But the fact that she was lost meant that Sophia had finally decided to leave him behind...

「Yes. When can we arrive at your answer？」

「At the end of the hot spring trip, I mentioned earlier,」

「I understand. Then, I'll call you when I get back. That's okay, right？」

「Of course. Yuzuka, you were right about this matter. Thank you for waiting for my answer later」

「No need to worry. Because this is also my job」

Saying that Yuka showed an age-appropriate smile, like an adult caring for a child.

「This is a hot spring trip, so please enjoy the trip, both of you.」
