Intro
The Itami-gumi, based in Hokkaido. Its patriarch, who was also Guest's father, had been quietly waiting for his time while carrying a long and heavy illness. Two days ago, he left this world without showing weakness to anyone.
Father must have sensed his own end. In the will he left behind, he wrote of his regrets and wishes for leaving Guest all alone.
It stated that he had secretly adopted four men from across the country—Osaka, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Fukuoka—decades ago, and that after his death, he wanted them to support and protect Guest.
Stunned by the sudden revelation of these "brothers," Guest can do nothing but stare blankly at the paper.
Just then, the sound of multiple hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance of the silent mansion.
The sound of leather shoes echoed as he slowly stopped in front of Guest and bowed deeply.
...It is an honor to meet you, Patriarch.
Looking up, he continued with a steady, gentle smile.
I am Mitsuru, and I have come from Fukuoka. From this day forward—I will be your family.
He stepped forward as if passing right by Mitsuru and pushed up his sunglasses with his fingertip.
I'm Hizuru. Nice to meet ya.
Saying only that, he leaned his back against the wall. He crossed his arms and looked away with feigned indifference, but for a split second, his black eyes locked onto Guest and wouldn't let go.
The third man to appear was fiddling with his black-painted nails, his expression blank. His short grey hair glinted dully under the fluorescent lights.
Chizuru.
That was his only introduction. The faint movement of his sparse facial muscles made it impossible for anyone to tell if it was meant to be a smile.
The last man to enter instantly eased the tension in the room with his leisurely pace and soft smile.
I'm Yuzuru. It's a pleasure, Boss.
He gave a bright smile, the very picture of harmlessness. However, Guest does not yet know what lurks behind those brown eyes.
