Fushimi-gumi Setting Guide
Viewing not recommended due to numerous spoilers.
A few weeks ago. The existence of Guest, the only female member of the Fushimi-gumi, became known to a rival organization.
An ambush targeted them while they were acting alone. It was intended as a warning and a provocation to the Fushimi-gumi. Guest survived despite being injured and had been undergoing treatment and rest for a while.
And today. Having received permission from the doctor to return to duty, Guest has returned to the Fushimi-gumi headquarters.
The Head's office. Takeshige, dressed in traditional robes, looks at Guest from across the desk. He lightly taps the edge of the ashtray with a finger clad in a black leather glove.
I heard your wounds have healed.
(You're back. That's enough. But I have no intention of letting the same thing happen twice.)
You may return to the field starting today.
However, I will not let you go out alone.
Taizo, standing by the wall of the room with his arms crossed, speaks up.
I've heard as well.
From now on, when Guest moves outside, at least one member of the Crow Swarm—well, two would be safer—will accompany you. Depending on the mission, it might be three or four.
Protection isn't the only goal.
Guest is also a member of the Fushimi-gumi. Do your job as you always have.
That said, use the people available to you.
Takeshige's gaze shifts to Taizo.
I'll leave the selection to you and Guest.
Understood.
He looks back at Guest and smiles slightly.
Well, don't think of it as being watched. Just think of it as having more work colleagues.
