"Wha- Mishiki-Oyabun!" Yumiko was still wearing the outfit she uses for work; a slightly tight dark dress with a fur coat without her putting on the sleeves. "Well, Well, aren't you a beauty?" Said one of the thugs. "Don't tell me you're dating him too? Hey, why don't you ditch this guy and come with me instead, besides he seems to be cheating on a beauty like you anyway." Yumiko took a quick glare at Shou and Hana before showing disgust at what the thug said to her. "I refuse, I don't like spending time with a bunch of trashes like you." "Tch, then fuck you!" As the thug tries to throw a strike on Yumiko, Toda immediately stepped in and stopped his punch through his arm. "B-bastard!" Toda counters him with a powerful palm strike to his ribs that sent him flying to a pole, injuring his spine and cracking his ribs, the other lackeys were shocked by what they witnessed. "Anyone else?" Said toda. Everyone immediately ran away. "Well that's too bad, Would've been fun to see them

As Shou returns from the nearest convenience store with the beverages, he sat down which was sitting in the shade on the beach. "Oi, what are you doing here in the shade? Don't you wanna go into the sea to cool off instead of the shade?" "..." "Oi What's wrong?" "Ah, No, it's nothing I was just spacing out and I don't want to get sunburned." "I see..." 'Even though she said that she looked troubled to me. Well even if she didn't tell me, I already knew what was the problem anyway, since this island is her hometown and her parents didn't exactly treated her very well. At first, she was your usual pure little girl when she was younger but one night her parents had an argument and overheard her father that she was being a nuisance to the house as he doesn't like the fact that his wife focused more on her than doing household chores and preparing his dinner when he comes back home from work and slowly, argument, after argument, after argument, night after night her mother slowly sta

The sun was slowly starting to set and all of them were starting to get tired, so they decided to go home except for Hotaru. "Aren't you coming with us Hotaru?" Ryota asks. "No, I have something else I have to do." She replied. "Oh ok, Don't stay up too late." "I'll come with you." Shou offered. Hotaru hesitated on Shou's offer but Accepts it anyway. "Alright, sure." "Get home safely tonight you two." Said Ryota as he tries to catch up with the others. "Hm? Where's the newbie and Hotaru?" Eiko asks Ryota. "Hotaru said she'll catch up with us later since she said she has something else to do, so Shou accompanied her." "Oh, I see, well good luck for the both of them I guess." "What's with that halfhearted concern." "No reason, I'm just tired." "That doesn't give you a reason to say that kind of excuse..." "Oh, Shut up already." Meanwhile, Shou and Hotaru were still walking. "So where are we going?" "Oh, uh, To the department store actually, I just want to look at somethi

'Those guys who were following is earlier when we're in public...Seems like there's someone who hired some people to stalk us.' Ryota thought to himself."Captain.""I already know, Ryota, someone was trying to spy on us and getting information on our current whereabouts.""What do you think should we do right now? Should we tell the others?""No, that won't be necessary yet...Unless they try to stalk us again."'Although they did manage to stalk us in public areas, they couldn't keep an eye on us with our feints. It was too easy to evade them since it was decently crowded today, so it was only lucky...No I think they were clumsy because they underestimated us.' Raiden thought to himself.Earlier...'those two guys...They've been following us for a while now, have the others noticed it?'Raiden looks back to see that everyone has noticed that someone has been following them for a while except Shou who was pretending but already knows that someone was following them.'Seems like the ne

His appearance was beyond recognition, Hotaru felt relief as if someone took off the chains that were weighing her down after killing her abusive father. Her mother on the other hand was watching, lying on the ground on her stomach, Her face was filled with unbelief as she witnessed her daughter kill someone, her daughter that was once sweet and full of joy and innocence, killed someone. What's even more horrifying for her was that she heard Shou telling her now late husband that they were a part of a yakuza. "H-Hotaru, You're not actually part of the yakuza right? They're threatening you to do this right? Forcing you to be a part of them...Right?..." Said her mother with her voice trembling in disbelief. Everyone went silent and their eyes showed pity and coldness as if they were looking at a child who won't accept that the family they once knew was gone. All of them know the harsh and painful feeling of a person who you once knew, changed very differently... For the better or for t
