The Fable is a work currently being serialized in Young Magazine, and tells the story of the strongest assassin, "The Fable", who has lived in the underworld since childhood, but ends up living as an ordinary person without killing anyone. It is a violent and humorous comedy about a man who, apart from his killing skills, is on the level of a five-year-old and lacks common sense, but who tries his best to adapt to ordinary life. I would like to introduce the woman who is the partner of the protagonist, The Fable, and is set as his sister, and is given the false name of Sato Yoko.

The woman who is the partner of the legendary assassin, Fable
A woman who partners with the strongest assassin Fable and is in charge of backing him up, such as driving a car. Under the boss's orders, she belongs to a mysterious nameless organization that undertakes perfect kills, and has been partners with Fable since one year before the start of the story, and has been doing her job perfectly. Her real name is unknown because it is an organization that leaves no trace, and at first Fable called her the car navigation woman. She is registered in Fable's cell phone under the name "Other".
Under the boss's orders, she takes on the pseudonym Yoko Sato and is set up as his younger sister
The Fables, who killed 71 targets in six years, became famous for killing too much. The boss then gives them the command to "live as an ordinary person for one year." At that time, Fable is given the name Sato Akira, and the woman is given the pseudonym Sato Yoko. The two are set up as siblings and live in a residence provided by the boss's acquaintance, the gang "Makuro-gumi."
Sato Yoko (pseudonym), who may be more like a guardian than a sister
Although her killing skills are outstanding, in other normal human relationships, she supports Fable, who is like a 5-year-old child and has no manners, and gives him advice on what to do normally, so their relationship may be better described as a guardian rather than a sister. Of course, Yoko has a sensible personality, but her daily activities, such as drinking alcohol, may be even more unsensible than those of Fable.
Sato Yoko (pseudonym) with nothing to do leads a life of drinking
Now living as an ordinary person, Yoko's goal for the past year is to "make a handsome boyfriend," but she drinks alcohol like water every day. She has a high tolerance for alcohol, and has a hobby of setting honey trap-like traps in which she makes men who hit on her at bars drink alcohol like water and enjoys watching them get drunk until they are completely staggered. Seeing Yoko like that, the bar owner calls her Drunk Queen Yoko.
She does things like honey traps regularly
Not only does she set up honey traps to get men drunk and have fun, but she also backs up the Fable by making friends with members of the Makuro Group and giving them watches with transmitters as presents. She usually lives as an ordinary person, but when the Fable takes action, such as when Misaki is captured by bad yakuza, she willingly cooperates.
An ordinary woman cannot be the Fable's partner! What are Yoko Sato's (pseudonym) abilities?
Yoko Sato (pseudonym) is not an assassin but a backup, but she has the skills to overwhelm even her most skilled colleagues in hand-to-hand combat and firearms handling. When confronted by the assassin Suzuki, she is so skilled that she can subdue him in six seconds. However, due to her lack of experience in battlefields and her never having killed anyone, she hesitates when it comes to actually taking on someone, and she is unable to see through the intentions of the other person's actions, which can lead to her weaknesses being exploited. According to Fable, she is about 100 times stronger than her sister, and if Yamaoka (pseudonym) is 10 (later corrected) and Yamaoka (pseudonym) is 8, then she is about 5 in strength.
Sato Yoko (pseudonym) with instantaneous memory ability
She has the ability to instantly remember anything she has seen once, and is a genius of a different type from Fable. Her ability is appreciated and she is trained by the boss to become Fable's partner. However, the old gun that was taken apart also means that she cannot forget it even if she wants to, so she seems unable to forget painful memories either.
Yoko Sato (pseudonym) cares deeply for Misaki and the president
She has a good relationship with Shimizu Misaki, an employee of the small design company "Octopus" where Fable was employed as a delivery person, and after helping Misaki out of trouble involving the Yakuza, she and Fable have been watching over her from the sidelines. She also has a bad habit of getting drunk when Octopus president Takada comes to her house for a Christmas party, but on the other hand, she was a little moved by his fatherly love and generosity.
Shocking past! Why did Yoko Sato (pseudonym) step into this world?
Yoko Sato (pseudonym) lost her parents in a fire 10 years ago, and was then picked up by the boss, trained, and became the partner of Fable. However, her parents died not in an accident, but in a murder. Her parents were killed by Yamaoka (pseudonym), a hitman sent by an organization that had their eye on Yoko's talent for instantaneous memory, and the boss used all his connections to take her from an orphanage.
What is her relationship with the Fable?
She has been a partner with Fable for a year, and their relationship was nothing more or less than that. After living as an ordinary person and brother and sister for a year in Fable's phone, and interacting with Misaki and members of the Makuro Group, they have become more like real brother and sister, and are recognized as brother and sister by those around them without any sense of incongruity. However, it seems that she has no romantic feelings for him, and the reason for this is that he is too strong. It seems that she will continue to act with Fable as a partner even after the end of the first part.
Yoko Sato (pseudonym), a hitman who has never killed a person, is being treated with care?
Yoko is skilled in fighting techniques and handling firearms, but has never actually killed anyone. Therefore, it is said that her lack of experience puts her at a disadvantage in combat with fellow fighters, but assassins Suzuki (pseudonym) and Matsu (pseudonym), as well as Yukari (pseudonym), who is in the same organization and has a similar ability to instantaneous memory, tell her that if there is no need to kill, it is better not to kill, and she is loved and cared for. She is especially close with Yukari, who she thinks of as a younger brother. (She is considered her younger sister by Eucalyptus)
【The Fable】Summary of Yoko Sato (pseudonym)
The strongest assassin, Fable, has decided to live as an ordinary person, and although he wants to live a peaceful life, the troubles that occur around him are all incredibly cruel. How can Fable, who gets caught up in one thing or another, overcome the troubles peacefully and without losing his normal body? The darkness of the underworld and the heartwarming content of being an ordinary person are mixed together in just the right way, and are sometimes cool and sometimes comical. The first part of The Fable has now ended, and the second part is scheduled to resume serialization in the summer. Yoko Sato (pseudonym) will continue in that part as well!
