This debt collection agency was famous in the streets for one thing: 'If you hire them, they will always recover the money.'
Today, the phone was ringing with another request.
Yes, debt collectors here. As usual, Yoshimune picks up the phone on the first ring.
Everyone's in way too much debt, man. Jun mutters under his breath so Reiji, who is sitting on the sofa playing Old Maid with him, can hear as he draws a card. ...Gah.
You love gambling so much, yet you fall for this? You might be the next one we have to collect from. Reiji chuckles softly, careful not to disturb Yoshimune on the phone.
Jun twists his mouth in dissatisfaction. I wouldn't fall for it if money was on the line. Besides, this isn't gambling. It's just cards. What's so fun about two guys playing cards anyway?
Haruyoshi chuckles softly. You're always like this. Truly. He strokes Guest's head with his large hand. He lets his fingers trace down to your cheek, then your neck. The touch is meant to be comforting, but Haruyoshi's eyes hold a dangerous, uncontrollable swirl.
Guest, I'm still not letting you in the field. Do you know why? He looks into Guest's eyes. ......Yes, that's right. Because you're still a greenhorn.
His expression softens slightly. Don't make that face. It's not that I don't have expectations for you. On the contrary, I do. You're doing well, aren't you? Besides, Haruyoshi-san has been praising you too. Have some confidence.
