“I owe you one, Bro . ”
After knocking the enemies down and barging in, Kirisaki Enya thanked him .
Deep in a certain Chinese restaurant in Oritachi…
In a private room stood Enya, his upper half naked and covered with tattoos, not to mention blood splattered over his hands . Although he did not by any means look respectable, you could not help but admit that he had a certain dignity about him .
“Are you all right, Enysan?”
“No injuries as of right now . ”
“Thank goodness . ”
“Why are you here, Bro?”
“I received notice of a group attempting to ensnare you in their trap . ”
“It was really shameful, they got me like the Feast of Hong Gate . ”
“So for now we should–”
“Taiyou, an enemy’s coming . ”
Akiha walked in from outside the room .
“Oh? Why is a different girl than before…”
“I’ll introduce her later . She’s my fifth wife . ”
“Oho…”
AdvertisementEnya’s eyes glittered . Due to the nature of his occupation, he did not bear any prejudice against having multiple women at the same time . In fact, he was the type of person who thought that was how it should be- the true way to show your colors as a man . In a sense, that was also a type of prejudice, but very favorable in Taiyou’s opinion .
Right after Akiha had gotten in, the door broke down and several men came rushing in . Much like Enya, they were yakuza and they were holding daggers in their hands .
“You little–”
One of the men attempted to say something, but Taiyou flew at him and sunk him with a fist before he could finish .
“D-Don’t move . ”
One of the men who entered the room acted quickly, selecting the most vulnerable member out of them all- Akiha . He had grabbed her arm and was holding a knife to her .
Taiyou did not panic .
There wasn’t even 5 meters between them . Even if she did have a knife pressed to her, he could stop that before the man even had a chance to react .
“Make one move and you won’t like what happens to her . ”
So he got closer without giving it much thought .
“D-Damn it . ”
The man moved to cut her with his knife, but the next second–
“Yaaah!”
Before Taiyou had even gotten over there, Akiha had reacted quicker . She grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted it before giving him a back kick to the vitals .
“Gahagh–”
“Whew!”
Enya whistled .
“Way to go! Looks like Bro picks them right . ”
“You could do THAT too?”
“Just a bit . Thought it might come in handy one day . ”
“Come in handy?”
“Yeah, back when I thought ‘I gotta protect Aoba!’”
She said nonchalantly, not bothering to hide her smile .
(That does make sense), thought Taiyou .
“And when was this? You brought Aoba to my place about half a year ago, so it’d be before that, right?”
“Yeah, sixth grade of elementary school, I’d say . ”
“Gotcha . ”
Taiyou nodded, turning to Enya .
“Let’s go ahead and get out of here . Can you come with, Enysan?”
“Of course . ”
Enya caught the dagger that Taiyou threw .
“I’ll go on ahead . Follow behind me Bro . ”
“Ah, no, it would be best if I go ahead . There’s no guarantee that they won’t have guns . I’m better suited for those sorts of situations . ”
“Alright . ”
“Akiha, you come next . Sorry Enysan but you’ll have to be at the rear . ”
Taiyou, Akiha, and then Enya all left the room, filing out into the open . Several yakuza heard the commotion and tried to attack them from either side, but they were easily defeated by Taiyou and Enya .
As if timing their arrival, one car came promptly to the scene . While Enya had a startled look on his face, Taiyou simply opened the door without much thought .
“Please, ride with us . ”
“Okay . ”
Once he understood that Taiyou had prepared this ride, Enya readily agreed and hopped into the car .
It was a box wagon . Taiyou, Akiha, and Enya all got into the rear, and Taiyou leaned forward to give his thanks to the driver . Then he turned back to look at Enya and asked him again .
“Are you all right?”
“For sure, Bro . No injuries . What about you?”
“I’m fine too . ”
“Good . Anyway, could you get me somewhere real quick?”
“…A raid, is it?”
“Yep . I can’t just back down as it is . ”
“Understood . How do we get there?”
Taiyou got the location from Enya, informing the driver . It was the office of his enemy . It would take 10 minutes till arrival, so Taiyou turned to Akiha and spoke .
“Now ‘wait in the car this time’…is what I would normally say, but you won’t listen anyway I bet . ”
“Of course not . ”
Akiha grinned .
“Why would I ever let something fantastic like this slip me by?”
“As usual, I seriously don’t know your criteria for what is ‘fantastic’ . ”
“What, come on, that’s easy!”
Akiha grinned even wider .
“What I say is fantastic is fantastic!”
“Well aren’t you a free spirit…”
“Got yourself a nice girl there, eh Bro?”
“She’s like a restless horse . Difficult to handle . ”
“Reminds me of Big Sister . ”
“Big Sister? You mean Orikawsan, right? She’s the rich lady owner of that big business . ”
“She was a little rascal as a kid . Still is, as a matter of fact . ”
“Wow . ”
“I couldn’t beat her even if I tried . ”
“So that’s why you treat her as superior . ”
“Nah, that’s a bit different . I don’t follow people just cuz they’re strong . ”
“Ah, that’s very true . ”
What Enya said made a good amount of sense . To him, someone’s outward appearance was important . He didn’t follow anyone due to pure arm strength . In fact, the opposite was very possible .
