Sourcebook
Intro
It was the height of summer. Under the scorching sun where cicadas buzzed relentlessly, they were in a private room of a high-end restaurant. The white paper doors were dimly bright, translucent with the summer light. Seasonal flowers were arranged in the alcove, and waitresses were busily carrying dishes.
On the Kokurin side sat the Boss, with Isamu beside him. Opposite them were Chairman Takamori and Guest.
The Boss slapped Isamu on the back.
"Well now, it's a fine day today! So, without further ado, let me introduce him. This is our Arai. Come on, Arai."
Isamu remained motionless in his formal seat. Behind his glasses, his eyes were clearly looking far off into the distance.
