Everything is his

[I still have one final job to do . ]
Saying so, John Smith started digging and have Yukime return to the capital once .
The final expression of kindness on Gettan's face bring back a nostalgic memory .
Yukime took a night's rest in the capital, she used the real banknotes to exchange it back to gold coins and return to the hideout .
Her wound was healed by John Smith . That ugly scar on her back had disappeared beautifully .
Her physical and mental wound healed, she now truly believe that everything is over . It was supposed to, but the word [Cult] Gettan mentioned still linger in her ears .
What has caused him to change .
Does my revenge really over with this?
What if Gettan was only being used…… and the real enemy is still out there .
Arriving at the hideout, she carry the gold coins and headed to the vault only to be surprised by its contents .
[This is……]
The inside was completely empty .
A woman in black appears without a sound from behind Yukime who is tilting her head .
[You are Yukime of the Yukikitsune Company right……… . or should address you as one of the pillar of the Lawless City instead .

[————!?]
When Yukime looked back, she saw a beautiful elf with platinum hair .
[You are?]
Yukime asked, preparing to pull her iron fan out at any time .
[I am Alpha . One of the Shadow Garden . If you reacted like that, he still hasn't told you right?]
[Alpha…… . . ]
Yukime known that John Smith/Shadow is the head of Shadow Garden .
However, he never talked about Shadow Garden with her before . Come to think of it, it was weird .
[You are his collaborator… . . and the one Gettan from the Great Commerce Association loved right…… . ]
[What do you want to say . ]
[First, I was thinking about handing this letter to you . The seal has already been opened, but I thought it was a good idea to hand it to you . ]
[This is…… . ?]
What Alpha took out was an old letter .
[The association will collapse today . Before that happen we have to retrieve what we can . This was found in Gettan's room, his letter to you……No, you could call it his testament . ]
[Gettan's…… . ]

Yukime received the letter and start reading .
The first thing that surprised her was its messy handwritings . Despite his blindness he must written this letter alone without relying on others . From the messy handwritings Yukime could feel his trace and his warmth .
That letter began with the remorse he felt for Yukime and his hometown and how he curse his own weakness .
Then, she found a surprising fact written inside .
[The cult of Diablos… . ]
That was the identity of the one that changed Gettan .
After reading the letter, Yukime raised his face and looked at the alpha .
[I am also a person of the lawless city . I already have an information that there's an organization that is lurking in the shadow . ]
[That's the cult of Diablos . And, it is what Shadow Garden has been fighting against . Of course he… . Shadow too……… . ]
[John-han too…… . ]
[He must have noticed the fact that you have crossed path with the cult in the past . That's why he show you the way to help you out of your ruin . ]

[Ruin? What are you talking about . ]
Alpha smiled .
[You see, Mitsugoshi Company was actually a front of Shadow Garden . ]
[——–!? Don't tell me!]
From the beginning, Everything is already placed on his palm .
That day——the moment Yukime talked with Shadow in the Lawless City, he already predicted the ruin of the Great Commerce Association and Yukime's .
But he showed her the way to avoid it .
He rescued her and pointed at the way for her to face her true enemy .
[Everything John-han did was……]
[Sorry, but we already retrieved all the gold here . ]
[… . So that's why Mitsugoshi Company's credit still hasn't collapse . ]
[Moreover we have acquired the association's businesses and established ourselves in the absolute possition . ]
[Everything was as John-han… . . No, Shadow-han predicted right . ]
[It fine even if you regarded his as a traitor . He will accept even that, but before that, I want you to think carefully about the path that he have shown you . ]
Yukime shook her head .
[I have no intention to do that . Speaking of which, the one who suggest that we lay our hand on Mitsuhoshi Company first is me . Crushing me is but a simple task for Shadow-han right? . ]
[That's true . ]
[I was save by Shadow-han . This fact doesn't change . And I hate the cult of Diablos . My revenge will not be over until the cult of Diablos is completely destroyed . ]
Alpha nodded to Yukime's word that is full of determination .
[We to, are ready to accept you . If it is alright with you, we want you to continue leading your Yukikitsune Company and partner with Mitsugoshi Company to do the thing we couldn't do in the Lawless City . ]
[Understood . You want Mitsugoshi Company to be the front and our Yukikitsune Company in the back… . right?]
[He already prepared for that . The juggernaut of the Lawless City has disappeared, you are now the strongest in the Lawless City . ]
[Wha, to think that he read it that far ahead… . . So everything is truly on the palm of Shadow-han… . . ]
[Yes, truly… . ]
Yukime and Alpha smiled with the same expression on their face .
Both of their face are filled with the admiration from the bottom of their heart .
[We will be in you care . ]
[We too will be in your care . But this is terrible, to think that there would be so many people that are important to him……]
[What do you mean exactly?]
[It's a story from our side . Well, I will entrust the remaining gold coins to you then . ]
[Thank you . First, after we have overcome the credit collapse we will send help to your Yukikitsune Company later . ]
And they left the hideout while talking about the future . ]
