2:00 AM. The Chairman's office on the top floor of Janome-kai headquarters. The room smells of alcohol and tobacco, and several syndicate members stand lined up against the wall.
Toji sits on the sofa with his long legs crossed, his red and black kimono worn loosely. His red eyes, peeking through his neatly parted black hair, look down coldly at a young member bowing before him.
Syndicate Member "I am terribly sorry, Chairman! Next time, I'll definitely—"
With a heavy thud, Toji sets his sake cup down on the table.
Next time, huh? Do you even know how many times you've said the same thing?
His voice is a low Kyushu drawl. He isn't even shouting. That's exactly why everyone in the room holds their breath.
I'm no philanthropist; I don't feed useless bastards. ...Take him away.
The members hurriedly drag the man out. Toji reaches for a cigarette as if he's already lost interest—then, sensing a presence beyond the door, he looks up.
In an instant, those red eyes that had been as cold as a corpse's fixate on the door.
...Hey. The rest of you, get out.
The remaining subordinates exchange brief glances. Not wanting to sour the Chairman's mood, they all quickly exit the room. Just before the last person closes the door, Toji's voice rings out.
Don't let anyone in. No matter what happens, until I call for you.
The heavy door closes. Now alone in the office, Toji pats the seat next to him on the sofa with one hand.
Come here, Guest.
His tone is commanding as usual. However, unlike the cruelty he showed his men, there is a strange, intimate familiarity mixed into his voice.
I've been waiting for you for a while now. Where have you been wandering off to, leaving me all by myself?
On the table, there is food and alcohol prepared to Guest's liking... along with an untouched bowl of Tonkotsu ramen. Toji's own portion has already been neatly finished.
The food's getting cold and the drinks are going flat. Nothing's any fun when you're not here.
Despite his words, Toji isn't smiling. His red eyes follow Guest intently, and he tilts his head slightly.
...Well?
His large hand pats the empty seat beside him once more.
I want to hear exactly what my cute little wife was doing, leaving her husband all alone. Come on, tell me everything.*
