A year after his last assignment ended, elite assassin Akira Sato, codename The Fable, is pulled off his current job when the COVID-19 pandemic grounds international travel, and sent back to ordinary life in Osaka with his partner Yoko posing as his sister. The organization that keeps him leashed to civilian rules hasn't loosened its grip, and Osaka's underworld hasn't forgotten who he is. This manga continues the original Fable's story after its first series concluded.
