Just a friendly reminder: 'Saru' means monkey. 8)
Ayame leaves for her mission at 11:55. She hates being separated from Gin-san for too long, but she can't deny that it feels good to finally get some fresh air. The wind rushing past her face as she jumps from building to building greets her like an old friend, and she feels like she's lived up to her name and become a true monkey.
She stops at the rooftop of an abandoned warehouse, where she can observe the meeting point without being seen. It's better to know the opponent before meeting them, and Ayame likes to think information gathering is her forte.
She watches the people on the streets below, mostly drunken men waddling past. It's the usual Edo scene. The occasional Amanto comes by, and Ayame wonders if they do what humans do at night.
It's not long before a black limousine stops at the warehouse. Ayame starts to think the warehouse is used for smuggling, maybe both drugs and people, when a door of the limo opens and out comes a familiar figure.
The man's mop of sandy hair covers half his face, and Ayame wonders when Hattori Zenzou could have had time to join the smuggling ring.
