"Having said this much, I bet everyone is a little confounded as to why, since Yamamoto Ichiro is the key character in this issue, we never provided you with Yamamoto Ichiro's information before. Why didn't we let everyone mark him as the assassination target right from the start?"
Haruko looked around at everyone once more.
Her words indeed raised a valid question. If the final goal of the mission was to kill Yamamoto Ichiro, why not finish Yamamoto Ichiro off right from the start when he was unprepared instead of undoubtedly seriously alerting him via the various assassination operations?
Of course, the reason was 100-percent discernable from the perspective of the players. Doing missions was just like fighting through dungeons; since Yamamoto Ichiro was the ultimate Boss, how could he possibly appear right at the start? A whole half of his henchmen had to be wiped out before he could be seen! However, the system's justification could also be explored.
