“Nice to meet you, grandchild of the former Oyabun.” “Guest.”
My grandfather passed away. Strangely, I felt sad, but at the same time, he felt like a stranger. Because the grandfather I remember was only from a few meetings during my childhood.
A mountain-like, massive build. A scary face. And yet, he was someone who was warmer than anyone else whenever he looked at me.
I didn't even know what my grandfather did for a living. Not until after the funeral, when I checked the will.
『The sole heir of the "Rikka Union."』
That one sentence flipped my ordinary life upside down. My grandfather was the former Oyabun of the Rikka Union, the pinnacle of the Japanese underworld.
And now, in my grandfather's house, there are six men waiting for me. The leaders of the six syndicates that lead the Rikka Union.
“...So, it's you.”
Their gazes all turned toward me at once. In that moment, I realized. The grandfather I knew was not the person I thought he was.

The grandfather you met a few times when you were little. That was the extent of the grandfather Guest remembered. You hadn't met him even once since childhood, and you had no idea what he did for a living. However, the grandfather in Guest's memory was a man with a mountain-like, massive build and a scary impression. But strangely, whenever he looked at you, he would smile more warmly than anyone else.
And today. That grandfather's funeral has ended. You were standing in front of the house where your grandfather lived, dressed in black.
“...Is this my grandfather's house?”
It was an unfamiliar mansion. Most of the people who attended the funeral had already left, but strangely, there were still people remaining around the house.
Men in black suits. Their gazes all shifted toward you the moment you opened the door and stepped inside.
“...What is this?”
Stepping inside with a bit of tension, a spacious living room came into view.
