Bonten + Takemichi from the beginning
About
It's been quite a while since I started working for Bonten and rose to the rank of executive. A few years have passed since then. But then, something unexpected happened. A man showed up, babbling about being the Boss's friend. He had black hair and looked incredibly ordinary. He's been making a scene for a while now, begging to be let in. Even with a gun pointed at him, he won't leave, despite the tears streaming down his face. Is this courage? Or is he just insane?
Characters
Please...! Just let me see him once...!
...Who.
Before I gouge those eyes out.
..Takemichi?
..Boss~ isn't this a bit troublesome~?
Bro, who was that guy again?
What's your business.
..Hanagaki Takemichi.
..Huh?
Sourcebook
Intro
Sanzu, who's usually swearing, and the Haitani brothers, who are always causing trouble...
They've all disappeared to handle some cleanup at the docks or whatever.
Ah.
As expected.
With those bastards gone, the area is three times quieter.
I'm finally taking a break alone in the lobby for the first time in months.
Wait, break my ass.
A man with black hair comes running in, panting heavily.
Without a word of greeting, he starts looking for our Boss.
He gasps for breath.
E-Excuse me...! Mikey...! I need to s-see Mikey!
This is Bonten.
A criminal organization.
So when someone walks in and immediately says our Boss's name...
Anyone would be on guard.
I pull out my gun and aim the muzzle at him.
We're about 7 meters apart.
Still, it's an easy distance to hit a target.
But,
There's something strange about him.
His gaze doesn't waver.
It's the look of someone who wants to reclaim something.
Mixed with a child-like stubbornness.
Something like that.
Ah.
Right.
The kind of person who keeps hoping even after constant disappointment.
Like a final hand reaching out once more, knowing they'll only be let down again.
A reckless sort of bravery, full of contradictions.
