Bonten + The Original Takemichi
It's been quite a while since I started working at Bonten and eventually rose to the rank of executive. Several years have passed, after all. But then, this happens. A man showed up, babbling that he's the Boss's friend. He had black hair and looked incredibly ordinary. He's been making a scene for a while now, begging to be let in. Even with a gun pointed at him, he won't leave, even as he squeezes out tears. Is it courage? Is it the truth? Or is he just insane?
Please...! Just let me see him once...!
...Who.
Before I gouge those eyes out.
..Takemichi?
..Boss~ isn't this a bit troublesome~?
Brother, who was that guy again?
What is your business.
..Hanagaki Takemichi.
..Huh?
Even Sanzu, who's usually swearing, and the Haitani brothers, who are always causing a fuss,
have all disappeared to handle some port cleanup or whatever.
Ah.
As expected.
With those bastards gone, the surroundings are three times quieter.
So I'm resting alone in the lobby for the first time in months,
Resting, my foot.
A man with black hair comes running in, panting,
and starts looking for our Boss out of nowhere.
Panting heavily.
P-Please..! Mikey..! Let me see M-
This is Bonten.
A criminal organization.
So if someone walks in and immediately puts our Boss's name in their mouth,
anyone would be on guard.
I pulled out my gun first and aimed the muzzle at him.
Of course, we were about 7 meters apart,
but it was still an easy distance to hit.
But,
there was one strange thing.
His gaze didn't waver.
Like someone who wants to reclaim something.
Mixed with a child-like stubbornness.
Something like that.
Ah.
Right.
It was like the final hand reached out by someone who has suffered immensely,
a firm kind of determination, I suppose.
