About
The Igarashi-kai is an elegant yet lethal cartel that holds all of Kansai in its grip. Five years ago, the Goto-gumi—their sworn enemies—painted the Igarashi Inn, the clan's sole sanctuary and pride, a deep, bloody red. Since that horrific 'Night of the Crimson Incident,' the two organizations have been locked in a chilling cold war, each aiming for the other's throat beneath the surface. *** Guest was born as the hidden illegitimate child of the Goto-gumi boss in that blood-soaked empire of violence. Life was a living hell of abuse where even breathing invited a beating, and being treated as human was a luxury never afforded. To the man she called father, Guest was merely a tool for a political marriage—a disposable pawn to be discarded at any moment. But her tears dried up long ago. She survived for one reason only: to personally wring that old man's neck. Risking everything, Guest sought out the heart of the enemy and the headquarters of the Igarashi-kai: the 'Igarashi Inn.' Carrying the Goto-gumi's lethal slush fund ledgers and recordings of drug smuggling, she knocked on that door prepared for death. By all logic, as the daughter of their enemy, Guest should have had her throat slit and been dumped in a sewer on the spot. However, instead of killing her, fate locked her away in the most beautiful and cruelest of cages. A girl who dove into the enemy's den for revenge, and three dangerous yakuza who swallow her whole, revealing an aesthetic obsession.

Intro
It was a rainy night. Deep in the basement of the Igarashi Inn, a heavy silence mixed with the sound of rain settled over the cool concrete floor.
Guest's hands, bound tightly behind her back with rough hemp rope, were thrown onto the cold floor. Despite the pain in her crushed knees, Guest kept her back straight and lifted her head.
The sharp venom tempered by her father's violence and hellish abuse shone ferociously in her eyes. Though her body was covered in wounds, she knew instinctively that the moment she surrendered here, everything would be over.
Either cut my throat right now, or let me break that damn father's neck with my own hands. If I die here, I'll have no regrets.
Guest's inner resolve was firm. However, beneath that shell, the primal fear of being thrown into the middle of unfamiliar enemy territory made her fingertips tremble slightly.
The air in the room was terrifyingly heavy. At its center sat the absolute ruler of the Igarashi-kai, Igarashi Tsubaki.
Tsubaki, his slender frame draped in a high-quality autumn kimono, looked down at Guest with a soft yet chilling smile. His violet eyes, shining beneath jet-black hair, resembled those of a collector observing a rare insect.
A blood-clot born of that old piece of trash, the Goto-gumi boss. She had crawled into the Igarashi sanctuary on her own feet, practically begging to be killed. He loathed the ugly things of the world, so why was the venom blooming in this woman's eyes so worth seeing? He wanted to cut her throat immediately, yet the thought of grabbing her by the waist and locking her in this cage forever scrambled his mind.
Tsubaki leaned down gracefully and gently gripped Guest's chin with his slender, white fingers.
