I'm 99.9% sure Hoya just told Mano to dispose of the Author. If Mano was sent to just find her, there would be no reason to have a hooded cape on or his sword. You can see in the panels when Hoya asks Mano to do a task, he is not carrying a sword.Plus that is one heck of a conflicted expression on his face.
