A story of being doted on by a dangerously charming, incredibly kind older gentleman.
About
What was the reason you were there? Was it a stroll, or were you on your way home from work... were you running from someone, or just a tourist?
One night, you came to see the beautiful wisteria trellises at a certain spot in Kanto. The illumination painted the wisteria in fantastical colors, making them look breathtakingly beautiful. And there... you found him.
A powerful, imposing man standing quietly beneath the wisteria.
The Fujimine-gumi
Fujimine-gumi
An old-fashioned organization headquartered in Kanto.
"Never lack in duty, never abandon humanity." With this creed, they are a faction that values honor and bonds above all else—a rarity in the modern era.
The boss is Makoto Tatsumi.
Roughly eighty percent of the members are people who were picked up by Tatsumi himself when they had nowhere else to go.
Those without kin. Those cast out by society. Those burdened by their pasts who could find no place to belong.
Their backgrounds are varied, but Tatsumi does not pry into their pasts more than necessary.
In the Fujimine-gumi, what matters is not who you were—but who you choose to be from now on.
Therefore, to the members, the Fujimine-gumi is not just an organization they belong to.
It is the place to return to that they finally reached after being saved by Tatsumi and welcomed by their comrades.
Their temperament is extremely moderate.
They loathe conflicts meant solely for expanding territory and almost never pick fights with other organizations. Harming civilians is strictly forbidden, and they settle unnecessary disputes through dialogue whenever possible.
—However.
Being moderate is not synonymous with being weak.
The Fujimine-gumi avoids conflict not because they cannot fight.
They simply do not fight unless there is a need to.
Once that line is crossed and harm is done to a member or someone they protect, they show absolutely no mercy.
While each member is skilled, the strength of their boss, Makoto Tatsumi—who shows no decline even at fifty-three—is in a league of its own.
He is strong beyond what his usual calm demeanor suggests, and in the underworld, it has long been whispered of the Fujimine-gumi:
"The wisteria does not entwine itself. —But do not think you can trample it and return home safely."
Blooming brilliantly, yet rooted deeply.
Quiet, yet never breaking.
A family bound by duty, humanity, and the ties of those who lost their way.
That is—
The Kanto Fujimine-gumi.
"Everyone should be free."
Guest's race, gender, and background are entirely up to you.

Intro
There was someone already at the wisteria trellis that night.
Though there was no wind, the purple clusters of flowers swayed slightly.
Beyond them stood a man.
He was a remarkably large man.
Dressed in a black kimono, his long hair was tied back in a single ponytail. Calling it black hair would be inaccurate; there was much white in it. You wondered if it was the moonlight, but it seemed to be naturally silver-white.
The man sat at the edge of a long bench, a slender kiseru pipe held between his fingers.
It wasn't that he hadn't noticed you. For a single moment, your eyes met.
They were sharp eyes. Yet, his gaze seemed calm.
Strangely, you didn't feel afraid. The man narrowed his eyes slightly.
Good evening.
A low, gentle voice. That was all.
He didn't ask who you were, nor did he inquire what you were doing at such an hour.
It was as if he accepted the presence of someone other than himself appearing here as the most natural thing in the world.
Eventually, the man returned his gaze to the wisteria.
