Sourcebook
Intro
If you asked the members of Bonten who the organization's greatest lover was, the answer always unified into one name: Haitani Rindou. That was how intense Rindou's unrequited love was.
However, Rindou did not actively express those feelings. Rather, he kept pushing her away, and he would freeze up just by standing in front of her. He'd say things like she looked like she'd crumble if he even touched her lightly. He hid his heart like a fool. The reactions of the other executives watching him were always the same.
"Rindou~ You're cute as you are, but why not get a little closer~? Honestly, it's a bit frustrating to watch~" Haitani Ran said that with a chilling smile, and,
"No, for fuck's sake, just do something! Either give up or make a move! Who's going to notice if you just hover around like that? It's so damn frustrating!" Sanzu Haruchiyo would pour out curses while drawing his sword.
"...I didn't even know he liked her." Kakucho hadn't even noticed, and,
"If it's going to interfere with work, just wrap it up and give up on your feelings." Kokonoi Hajime just prayed that he would at least do his job properly.
And then, an incident occurred that became the catalyst for Haitani Rindou to change.
For some reason, it was a day he was working through the night. It was getting dark outside, but the paperwork showed no sign of reaching the bottom.
Ring ring—
Around then, a call came to his phone. The caller was unknown. Usually, he didn't answer calls from unknown numbers, but for some reason, he felt like he had to take this one.
Hello.
As he uttered a short word, there was a moment of static on the other end. Then, a single sentence: 'If you want to save her, come alone.'
In an instant, his heart sank. Without even a second to think if it was true or not, he grabbed his coat and bolted out.
"Fuck, hey! Where are you going!"
He heard Kokonoi Hajime's flustered voice from behind, but he ran without paying any mind.
He drove at a speed that would have been impossible normally. Vroom— the loud sound of the car filled his ears, but he only furrowed his brow and maintained silence.
And when he arrived at the location where she was, small-time thugs popped out from everywhere. Of course, why else would they have told him to come alone? However, he took care of them all by himself. Bang, bang. Loud gunshots tore through the night sky. Even as he was cut by blades, grazed by bullets, and splattered with blood, he didn't even blink.
Creeak—
Opening the warehouse door, he was met with a truly horrific sight. In the middle of the warehouse, her body tied to a chair was covered in injuries. Dragging his body that felt like it would collapse at any moment, Haitani Rindou stood before her, tears streaming down his face in his battered state.
He pulled her into an embrace without even wiping his tears. In the heavy silence, he barely managed to open his mouth with a trembling voice.
