Heisuke<\/a> complains to Piisuke<\/a> that it costs 20,000 yen a month just to feed him, while he\u2019s been surviving on only 2,000 yen himself. But if he could just fill his belly for once, all his problems would be solved. In fact, if they just killed Sakamoto and got the billion-yen bounty, they could even afford sushi.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Shin sighs as assassins chasing the bounty continue wrecking the shop. Sakamoto casually mentions that they need a major renovation. Shin points out they don\u2019t have the funds, but winning the tournament would fix everything, handing Sakamoto a flyer.<\/p>\n Right then, Heisuke walks into the shop, asking for Sakamoto. He promises to let them live if they just hand him over\u2014completely unaware that he\u2019s talking to Sakamoto himself. Sakamoto, without missing a beat, claims he\u2019s just an employee and has no clue who \u201cTaro Sakamoto\u201d is. Suspicious, Heisuke presses further, asking if this place belongs to Sakamoto. Sakamoto shrugs it off, saying they have tons of locations.<\/p>\n Shin, reading Heisuke\u2019s thoughts, concludes that this guy is a complete idiot. His brain is so empty, it\u2019s not even worth the energy to read. But Heisuke insists, saying some lady outside told him Taro Sakamoto was here. Annoyed, Shin snaps that there are probably 200,000 Taro Sakamotos in Japan.<\/p>\n That breaks Heisuke. He starts crying, saying he had no idea how expensive it would be to track down that many people, and he doesn\u2019t even have money for breakfast. He stares pitifully at Lu and Shin, who take pity on him and hand him some pork buns. He gratefully takes them and leaves the shop.<\/p>\n Heisuke sighs, frustrated that he\u2019s back to square one, still stuck living in a flimsy tent barely holding together\u2014the same one his grandma gave him. But he\u2019s not giving up. He swears they\u2019ll strike it rich, get a huge house, and make the people who fired him regret it. Just as he\u2019s hyping himself up, a strong gust of wind rips the tent away. While he\u2019s panicking, a flyer smacks him in the face. It\u2019s for an airsoft tournament with a prize of a million yen. That\u2019s it\u2014if they win, they can finally afford an apartment.<\/p>\n The next day, Shin and Sakamoto arrive at the tournament, grab their gear, and get ready. Shin suggests Lu should join, but she waves him off, saying she\u2019s not into violent games. Suddenly, they hear someone pleading at the registration table\u2014it\u2019s Heisuke, begging to enter. The staff tells him he can\u2019t join alone; he needs a team. Desperate, he spots Shin and Sakamoto and rushes over, asking them to help him out. Since the tournament only allows teams of two to five, they form a trio.<\/p>\n The announcer kicks things off, and Heisuke, completely clueless, asks what he\u2019s supposed to do. Shin tells him to shut up and shoot. Before they can even strategize, another team moves in to attack\u2014but out of nowhere, Heisuke wipes them all out. Another squad goes for them, Shin dodges like it\u2019s nothing, Sakamoto counters with an attack, and just like that, they\u2019re dominating. The announcer hypes up Sakamoto\u2019s team as the favorites to win.<\/p>\n Heisuke, thrilled, says it\u2019s great knowing his teammates have his back. But as he watches them move, he starts getting suspicious. \u201cYou guys are way too good at this. Wait\u2026 are you airsoft geeks?\u201d He grins, deciding to charge ahead and lure out the enemies, confident the other two will cover him. Shin smirks\u2014maybe Heisuke isn\u2019t so bad after all.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a very drunk Lu cheers for Sakamoto. Heisuke squints at him, saying he looks nothing like his photo. Lu, in her drunken state, casually reveals that was back when he was skinny. Shin immediately shuts her up, insisting there\u2019s zero resemblance. They all laugh\u2014until it suddenly clicks for Heisuke who he\u2019s teamed up with. Without missing a beat, he spins around and aims his rifle at Sakamoto.<\/p>\n He told Sakamoto and Shin that he had thought they were friends, but this was for the best\u2014he could take both the prize money and the bounty. As they fought, another team found them and launched an attack, but Sakamoto\u2019s group managed to escape and counterstrike.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Piisuke delivered Heisuke\u2019s rifle bag. Heisuke wasted no time assembling his weapon, lining up a shot at Sakamoto mid-air, and firing just as he leaped backward. Sakamoto couldn\u2019t dodge in time and took a hit to the hand. Needing some space, Heisuke withdrew. Shin was about to go after him, but Sakamoto stopped him, telling him to focus on the tournament first.<\/p>\n Heisuke hadn\u2019t expected to find his target so soon, and Piisuke could see something was off. Heisuke insisted he wasn\u2019t upset\u2014Sakamoto and Shin were his enemies, after all. But as he said it, tears ran down his face. This was his moment to prove himself as a true assassin.<\/p>\n As the tournament reached its peak, Shin tried to track Heisuke but failed. Sakamoto knew they had to locate him without exposing themselves. What they didn\u2019t realize was that Piisuke was already helping Heisuke track them. A ricochet shot nearly hit Taro, but he barely escaped.<\/p>\n Heisuke was surprised he dodged, but Shin brushed it off, saying it was just a fluke. Sakamoto disagreed\u2014the bullets had an unusual spin, almost like they were meant to ricochet. Heisuke confirmed it, calling them triple rebound bullets, designed specifically to make their path unpredictable.<\/p>\n Shin demanded to know if their friendship meant nothing\u2014how could Heisuke be so set on killing them? Heisuke\u2019s response was cold: they were assassins, and when he looked through his rifle scope, all he saw was a target. With precision and relentless fire, Heisuke overwhelmed them.<\/p>\n Heisuke always sucked at everything\u2014except sharpshooting. That was the one thing he had a knack for, and he realized it early on. Somehow, he managed to graduate from the assassin academy and land a job at an agency. When he introduced himself, he admitted upfront that he was pretty much useless at everything else but promised to do his best. That didn\u2019t sit well with one of his superiors, who immediately wrote him off as worthless.<\/p>\n As Heisuke went on missions, the rest of his colleagues caught on to just how bad he was at everything but sniping, and before long, he was fired. Determined to prove the worth of an elite sniper, he decided to go after the bounty on Sakamoto. Shin told him to shut up and stop talking with his mic on, then hit him with some advice\u2014what other people think doesn\u2019t matter; what matters is believing in yourself. The distraction threw Heisuke off, allowing Shin to sense his thoughts and warn Sakamoto. In the end, Sakamoto took him down effortlessly, destroying his rifle with a rock.<\/p>\n Later, Heisuke teamed up with Sakamoto and Shin for an airsoft tournament, which they won. But instead of celebrating, he broke down, calling himself a failure\u2014even as a sniper\u2014and lamenting that they had no idea what it was like to be weak. Sakamoto shut him down immediately, saying he wasn\u2019t weak at all\u2014he\u2019d never faced a sniper as skilled as Heisuke before. That was all Heisuke needed to hear. He cheered up, collected his share of the prize money\u2026 all fifty yen of it.<\/p>\n \t\t<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/otakuorbit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Sakamoto-6-1.png?resize=700%2C390&ssl=1\")
