Shin ran on the roof without sound as his codename he made in Delivery Man community. put his hand on his left ear.
"scan surrounding radius 100 metres."
"Yes."
Erys put coding for magical incantation. Shin being surround by magic circle before it disappear again.
"ten in a group. Two group inside, three group outside on the destination. The probabilty having assassin hid in surrounding is around 30%."
"Thanks Erys. It's assuring to know this."
"It's just probabilty, Shin-chan."
"It's not zero, hell. Even zero I can't trust the system."
"Because your instinct as hunter is better than high-end machine after all~"
"Stop compliment me for every thing I do. It's dangerous if I get arrogant."
"Yes,yes. My cute master."
As they arrived at a group of mercenary. shin muttered something before hidden and continue toward the group without noise.
"GL, there is no one surrounding!"
"Why we must do this thing?! This is bullshit."
The group leader look to other place in calm manner.
*Snick*Snick*Snick*Snick*Snick*Snick*Snick*Snick*Snick*
The group leader turned around to see a knife went straight from jaw to his head. He had surprised face when saw Shin. He had paler than before. He knew this death god,
"J...oker....."
The group leader fell to ground with thud. Shin did parkor as he going to another group but this time the group wary because they couldn't contact the group that Shin destroyed. Shin unholster his blaster on his right before putting on his left arm before snipe. A magic circle appeared before his right eyes, as aiming tool.
"Death God Joker is coming!!!"
The group in haste. But by the time they ready to fight with Shin, three mercenary died with headshot. The GL had worry face.
'Shit, of every Delivery Man they call, why must Joker!?"
They released a barrage of of metal casing that mixed with gunpowder and magic crystal powder. Shin slid down arrive near them. This made the group scared, that delivery man that everyone on surface made fun of is the dread of every well-known organisation. They knew the truth of Incident two years ago.
"Stop him! Call the backup!"
Shin had focused expression as he released a shot hitting the walkie talkie of the GL before holster it. The GL surprised to see how fast Shin is. Shin rolled to side before tackling the leg of one mercenary before the knife slid out of his glove on below his upper arm piercing the throat of the mercenary. Before they released another barrage of bullet, Shin threw the corpse at them, grabbing another moment before stood up and rushed to GL. The GL noticed Shin's thought and land a fist on Shin's stomach but Shin avoided it before hitting a side of GL. GL rolled to side and shaking in pain not faint yet.
The group surrounded him but it did not make any pressure to him. Shin chuckled, one mercenary aim at his face. Shin moved his face to side, another two pounced on him with blades. Shihin held the hand of early mercenary and threw it at the two. The crashed into each other. Shin swang his leg to another mercenary's head then change his another leg kicking the other mercenary's hand holding knife before launch a his gauntlet straight in the face of the mercenary. He turned to the last standing. The three still struggled to stood up as they tangled on each other.
Shin moved to side as the standing rush at him. Shin knew he was an amateur. Shin gave a knee to his stomach. The amateur fell to ground groaning. Shin then took the rifle they fired at him before finishing them. To his surprise, they already rushed at him with blades. Shin swang his rifle butt at left and block two remaining.
"Tch."
They overpowered him but not long as the rifle cut in half. When the blade fell down, The change the blade to sharp one tried to slice at him. Shin gave a jab each one to the remaining soldier. Two mercenaries knocked out. Shin went to the GL,
"You're pretty lucky my delivery is not annihilation or Massacre."
Shin crouched to GL's side to take a breath before knocked GL out. Shin put his hand on communicator.
"Erys, last one?"
"They ready for you."
"Let's sneak and hit. We are out of time."
"No, we're not, we have an hour before the dealing started."
"Then let's get a break first."

"Miss Alice, how is that Joker could help us? Is he useless?"
"No, he is not."
"Then why is he the less hurt one in the incident."
"...."
'It's not that he faint just like that...'
_______________________________________________________
Two years ago...
"Fuck YOU!"
Shin jumped to the air swinging his blade to his hardest. It was the hopeless fight. The enemy is ready. He hit Shin, his scrap armor broken like that. Shin stood up with a glare holding broken blade, his eyes doesn't show despair but determination. His body drenched in blood and sweat.
"We gonna survive this. I swear, Delivery Man Joker always keep his promise. I believed you never betray me."
Shin smiled even his body shaking in pain and tired. Facing an enemies with absolute high-end technology, power. Alice had her equipment broken down. Only blade remaining. Around Shin body are small complex circle on his body recovering his pain and bleeding. It was no technology, it was his own magic incantation. There was no clothes remaining in his upper chest, only bleed and purple spot. His face also have purple spot

"YOU TRAITOR!!!"
Shin shouted as he been dragged by two armored Soldier.
______________________________________________________
"Miss Alice!"
"Y-yes!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm just tired a bit."
"Oh, sorry for disturbing you. The dealing started just now."
"How is Joker?"
"He is on the roof already annihilate the support."
Because the platoon didn't get the better equipment, they didn't know how many are there on the support. Moreover the last group lead by GL on roof were veteran mercenaries.
_____________________________________________________
"Why the hell you're here, Joker!?"
"Why!? Oh, I got the job."
Shin sat on the GL of the last group.
"Anyway, Eduard. What the hell are you doing here?"
The italian man laughed hard. Even though this japanese man is young, he knew this man could make your underestimate and it will be your biggest regret ever even you bring a platoon. If he is not wrong, Joker was one of the top hundred in Delivery Man community.
"Shin, this world can't accept man like you. Can chant magic, can do combat, have sharp intuition. Man like you always be on wanted list man need to die."
"Yeah, I know."
"Wanna hit the bar after this?"
"Sure."
Shin pressed the communicator.
"Reinforcement delivery is success, waiting the next response of client."
"Yes, Shin-chan. I already contact Phoenix, your suspicion is correct. There is something going on."
"Tell me,"
Shin got bad feeling about it. He stood up, Eduard look at him.
"Need to babysit them?"
"Yeah, Life is harsh when you're hate in surface."
"Then again, you're the one who always employed in underworld."
"For you information, I eat honest work pay."
"You sure really picky about this."
"Of course. See your later, Italian Mafia."
Shin went away. He already tied all of them.
"Shin, you can't run away from underworld."
