Mizuki Tsujimura (
Appearance[]
Assistant Director Tsujimura is a middle-aged woman around 40 to 50 years old. She has light-colored eyes and short black hair with silver streaks, held back by a simple hairband. Due to a past mission, she has a small scar on her right ear. While working in the Special Division, she usually wore a pale blue sweater,[1] while she wore an office attire in the past during instances recalled by Tsujimura[2] and Ayatsuji.[3]
Personality[]
From Tsujimura's perspective for someone who was mostly absent during her childhood, Tsujimura thought that her mother did not perceive her like a daughter. However, the assistant director did not entirely lack feelings for her daughter. She passed down and ordered her own ability to kill anyone her daughter wishes to kill, so as not to let Tsujimura kill someone, possibly to have her avoid the dread of killing. Additionally, even upon faking her death, she places her trust in a few people to look after her daughter, one of which includes Ayatsuji.
As the assistant director of a highly specialized organization, she is apparently quite capable in her profession. Despite not taking the center stage most of the time as such (and because of her public status as a deceased person), Ayatsuji notes how she pulls the strings behind the shadows, almost similar to a director. She is also quite calculating and perceptive, noticing Ayatsuji's lies in his report and—despite him not openly admitting and dismissing her claims—deducing his true situation given the circumstances.

Background[]
She was a very skilled agent in the past, and during most of Tsujimura's childhood, she was mostly out and busy with her job. She would usually only leave notes for Tsujimura and have a nanny take care of her daughter. Because of her profession, she made countless of enemies, forcing her to go into hiding.

Around this time, she made a deal with Ayatsuji to fake her death in exchange for sparing his life. He then used the Reigo Island massacre to make it look like she perished in the incident. Since then, she successfully went into hiding, with only a few knowing of her existence.
