~Oh my god this chapter is a real masterpiece, I thought we would be moving the plot along slowly, I never expected such a sudden change in this chapter. It turns out our suspicions were only half correct. The girl isn't a murderer, SHE WORKS FOR A MURDERER! However, we don't have our classic "I love you so I'll kill for you" route. Instead, the girl was just a pawn sent to fulfill her mission. (Which is a bit sad)~
~But this answer raises even more questions. Who betrayed him? Which of his assistants is the mole? Who is Kalon? And most importantly, if Kalon has artists among his staff, why did he choose the protagonist as a artist when he doesn't even know anything about the murders and Kalon's deal? Why him? This manga is getting better and better, KEEP COOKING SENSEI!!!~
