"Earwax Removal"
Asano, a mysterious hitman who prioritized dandyism above all else, was pointing his gun at a beautiful target from a hotel room.
All that was left to do was pull the trigger… But this man always had one ritual to perform before carrying out a job.
He would clean his ears with his "proudly owned ear pick." That was his personal brand of "dandyism." And this time, as usual, he inserted the ear pick deep into his ear, but…
Unbelievably, the ear pick got stuck deep inside and wouldn't come out!
This was bad. If anyone saw him with an ear pick jammed deep in his ear, his dandyism would be completely ruined!
Panicking, the hitman tried every way he could to get it out.
However, the ear pick seemed to be lodged quite deep, and even moving it slightly caused excruciating pain in his ear.
Could it be caught against his eardrum?
Shortly after, a woman he had previously made plans to hang out with let herself into the room.
Realizing it would be bad for her to see him in this state, he tried to chase her away, but as she left, she slapped him across the face.
To his surprise, the ear pick slid out just a tiny bit!
"This is great," he thought, and begged her to slap him some more, but she was creeped out and ran away.
At his wit's end, the man decided to try pushing the ear pick even further in.
Surprisingly, this time it slid right in smoothly without any pain.
"This is working," he thought, and as he kept pushing it in further, the ear pick completely disappeared inside his ear and could no longer be reached.
The hitman panicked, but told himself that completing the mission came first! He aimed his sights at the beauty again, and just as he was about to shoot,
The beautiful target turned around and looked right at him.
Then, she smiled.
Why is she smiling?! Wondering if… he looked into a mirror.
Reflected there was a terribly foolish-looking hitman with an ear pick poking out of his nose.
The hitman stood there in utter bewilderment.
At the same time, the beauty left the room, and the mission ended in failure…
