Yotaka Futatabi - Ch. 12

[xyzzy]

I do appreciate the twist. Someone in the prior chapter realized there would be a seventh assassin, but we all thought they’d be a young kid instead of him

 

[Sumasuun]

Well, at best it'll only disable her a while. She won't die from the injection.

She might die from missing the race though.

I expect anything but for him to be the 7th one lol

I expect anything but for him to be the 7th one lol

This is why it worked. He was playing the long game all along... a real horse racing/assassin pro

 

[FeralFunicular]

Yeah, Richard Reddington huh?

Must be his seventh scout

 

[Renan_Walheim]

Called it.

 

[ZaidValRoa]

Imagine the smell.

 

[Late_Komei]

Lol I remember someone predicting that one of the assassins will be one of Nighthawk's racing buddies. Better hope there's an antidote nearby.

Someone in the previous chapter thread called it... I didn't think that would be the case at all. Thought her horse racing crew was too wholesome.

I would've made it the lady instead of this guy for extra effect.

 

[Hicleric]

Very cinematic, reminds me of the silencer fight from John Wick

 

[outinthegardener]

Uh Oh! Interested to see how the author gets her out of this one. "She's trained to be immune to all poison" or "She switched the syringe out earlier." Something improbable?

 

[Blackspace_2]

Die from peak

thats her stank he breathing in

 

[revolverocelot1]

Well that's a wrap. Good manga everyone, looking forward to Izumida Fuyuki's next work.

 

[rabidfish]

did she really not see that coming? she's very susceptible to betrayal, if so... i feel she did and just baited him, tho.

 

[skywardgem]

damn, not the racing buddy... Yotaka generally seems capable of rolling with the punches so I hope the aftermath to all this doesn't involve her never coming back to the track to hang out with her other racing buddies. Could be tough hearing the others wonder about their missing friend tho........

thanks for the chapter!

Either the author pull some BS like she's poison immune or she breaks the needle before the full dose can hit. Glasses-kun is still around too, he probably bails her out if she passes out or something.

Side note, I know these young bratz couldn't touch her, but it feels like she's playing a dangerous game leaving all these people trying to kill her alive. Tho, it seem like the author is setting up some of these bratz to be nighthawk followers in the future, tho they did kill Bear. Like who expected glasses dude back so soon and kinda an ally this arc?

Well, at best it'll only disable her a while. She won't die from the injection.

She might die from missing the race though.

From the demonstration we got in an earlier chapter, the poison is pretty lethal.

Maybe the moment she got pricked, she reacted by pulling away before the poison got injected, but if any got in her system, she's probably getting a trip to the hospital.

I can't really imagine just being immune to poisons as a solution to this predicament.

Alternatively, the guy might be a double agent, just pretending to be out to kill her but there's no poison in the syringe. He'd be there to raise her awareness as an assassin, even though she's already really good at being alert. Honestly, I'm surprised even this got past her considering how she was disabling the young assassins coming from behind. I guess she actually got flustered and didn't realise how strange it was for the old guy to be there; it wasn't anywhere near the race tracks nor any public restroom I think so why would he be there. I was confused about that, until he stabbed her with the syringe. I guess he had been tracking her too.

Someone in the previous chapter thread called it... I didn't think that would be the case at all. Thought her horse racing crew was too wholesome.

Maybe it's someone in disguise, with a mask and a great voice mimicry.

It seems to be likely indeed. then he is a master of disguises.
