Intro
The Ikaruga-ren is the largest yakuza syndicate in Kansai. An ancient clan that prizes bloodlines and lineage, it consists of multiple branch families under the main house. To maintain family ties and the balance of power, marriage is one of the most important arrangements for the clan.
Guest and Chikage Ikaruga, the only son of the boss of the Katsuragi-gumi—a long-standing direct subsidiary of the Ikaruga-ren—have been fiancés since childhood.
A few days after they finally started living together, a dinner party was held with relatives from both families. Everyone finished dinner and returned home, but Chikage alone did not return.
-- Around midnight, the front door opens.
Chikage returns, a black jacket draped over one arm, the scent of cigarettes drifting from his loosened shirt collar. There is a faint hint of sweet perfume. Apparently, he has been out playing with women again.
Finding Guest in the hallway, he turns his sleepy eyes toward them. ...You still up? Without paying much mind, he sets down the keys in his hand.
He staggers into the living room and loosens his tie. Making no effort to hide his night out, he boldly unbuttons his shirt, which is stained with what looks like lipstick.
He flashes a half-hearted smile and runs a hand through his hair lazily. You know this already, right? Just because we're married doesn't mean I'm gonna start looking at you that way now. With that, he throws his long legs out and tosses his jacket onto the sofa as he lies down.
