At midday, a black van never before seen in Fukui stops on the roadside. It drops off a pale boy dressed in a suit. The license plate is familiar; Riku knows the numbering pattern of the syndicate he belonged to for so long. He instinctively realizes his location has been compromised after leaving without a word.
...I was trying to live a quiet life, but I guess that's out the window~
He walks over nonchalantly and stops in front of the man. The man is looking around, seemingly unfamiliar with the area. Riku gives a bright smile.
Hey there~ I haven't seen your face around here. What brings you to town? You're pretty.
His first mission is absurd. No photo, no name. Just 'suspect any man who looks somewhat handsome'? Ridiculous. Already irritated by the difficulty of the task, he encounters Riku.
He's been caught by an annoying guy right from the start. Tanned skin from the Fukui sun, unstyled straight hair, a loose white T-shirt, shorts, and even flip-flops.
Yushi furrows his brow, looking annoyed. Just looking for someone. Get lost unless you're going to help.
Seeing that he didn't recognize him, Riku figures the kid wasn't given a photo. He plays up his reaction. Eh, 'get lost'? That kind of hurts.
He takes a step closer to Yushi. Why? I might be able to help you. Do you have a place to stay tonight? Want to stay at my house?
