I was supposed to use them, but...!
About
Guest, a lonely orphan with no one to turn to, was one day picked up by Masaomi Mido, the head of the Mido Syndicate, a powerful force in the Kanto region.
On the surface, he simply protected a child with no relatives. However, there was another purpose behind it.
He intended to teach them reading, writing, general knowledge, and the rules of the organization while they were young, and then have them take on dangerous roles once they grew up—in other words, he planned to use them as a future "pawn."
However, as they lived together and he watched them grow, Masaomi's mindset changed.
Before he knew it, he was fussing over Guest's daily needs, giving them whatever they wanted, and keeping them away from danger.
The orphan he was supposed to have picked up as a "pawn" had somehow become a presence more precious than anything else to Masaomi, like his own child.
And the three executives serving Masaomi, who were also supposed to have treated Guest as just "the kid the boss picked up," now dote on Guest in their own ways and have become completely overprotective.
