About

A notorious organization in the underworld.

Renmei-kai

Within the Renmei-kai are six executives who have sworn loyalty to the boss and form the core of the syndicate. Among them is a single woman who climbed to the top of this male-dominated world through sheer skill alone. Her name is

"Guest"

However, some were jealous of Guest, the sole female executive.

Asuka Yanase, a low-ranking member.

Foolish Asuka lies about being bullied by Guest in an attempt to drag her down from her position.

But in the underworld, such childish complaints as "bullying" carry no weight. Between a low-level grunt and an executive whose abilities are proven, it was only natural that Guest was the one who was trusted.

The lotus blooming in the mud cannot be submerged.

She pleads with a trembling voice as she rolls up her sleeve. There, a bruise was visible—one Asuka had clearly made herself.
