"The Killers" (キラーズ, kirāzu) is an independent short story which is a parody of Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Killers". Two Latinos dressed in black enter the bar restaurant "Papa's Lunch Room" located downtown in a Latin American city. Three other customers are silently waiting, each one on a separated table: the first is a yakuza wearing black sunglasses and a tuxedo, the second is a middle-aged hairy bearded man wearing a black cassock and a large crucifix necklace and the third is a British style old man wearing a beret and a smart costume, a violin case standing near him. The two men in black ask for the menu and order sandwiches. As they eat, a young boy enters and delivers a large package to Golgo 13, the latter goes to the toilet bringing the packet with him. A Latino hits the restaurant's chef with his sandwich plate, binds him and brings him to the toilet. The other Latino puts a Glock 17 and a FN Hi-Power automatic handguns on his table and asks for the waitress about Koichi Todome. The second Latino comes back from the toilet armed with a Lupara sawed-off shotgun, followed by Golgo 13 smoking a cigarette and holding a Colt AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. The old man takes a drum magazine M1928 Thompson submachine gun from his violin case, and the priest unveils a katana from his cassock. Each men are aiming at each other stand still. When the girl bursts her bubble gum all men suddenly attack eventually killing each other. Lone survivor, the girl frees the chef and rides her Vespa to the outskirts. She enters a coast hotel, bumps a woman and run up stairs to the room 203 to tell Koichi Todome. The latter is lying in his bed still wearing his famous trench coat, and a large suitcase containing his Protect Gear is on the ground. Midori thanks the girl who leaves, grabs her Mauser C96 pistol and heads to the staircase. The story ends with Midori entering room 203.
