With the crescent moon hiding behind clouds, Ayame watches her target from the shadows, waiting for the right time to strike. Her target is a Jouishishi, whose name she doesn't quite remember. What's the point of remembering the name of someone you'll kill, anyway?
All she knows is that the target is an official, or one of the higher-ups of the Jouishishi. She isn't sure why she is handling this; the Jouishishi is usually dealt with by the Shinsengumi. Ayame's speculation is that the Bakufu has had enough of the members of the Shinsengumi stalking people that don't need to be stalked, eating too much mayo, or simply lazing around in general.
She decides it's for the best. After all, the less work those gorillas get, the more free time they'll spend hanging out with Gin-san, and the more time they'll spend keeping her rivals away.
Ayame keeps watching her target make his way through the crowd. The Jouishishi is having some kind of loud, celebratory party, and their security is horribly low. She would have let Black Cat tag along, but when she waited earlier on the rooftop, a girl with icy blue hair came in his place instead.
