Chapter 97 – Episode 13. I Went on a Business Trip With a Female Boss I Disliked, and the Hotel I Booked Only Had One Room.
With the sound of a loud siren, the police arrived, and soon executives from Taira Foods and the Human Resources Development Institute Kitatohoku Support, including the president of Taira Foods, Nagumo Shian, and the vice president of the Human Resources Development Institute Kitatohoku Support, gathered at the accident site. Nagumo Xian, still wearing her kimono, approached me.
“Are you okay?”
“Nagumo eldest sister.”
Nagumo Xian didn’t look surprised as he had told me that something would happen. I was a little confused by the orange-haired assassin, but I wasn’t really shocked by Kinichiro Matsuhira’s death. Nagumo Xian had warned me in advance, and I had seen people die more than once.
“Why did Matsuhira die?”
Still, I was curious. Why did she die? I have never heard of Tyra Group, which handles things with disciplinary action that disappears as soon as possible, handling things in such a drastic manner. Even former human resources manager Tojo Nadachi, who was connected to Minamoto, was punished by disappearing.
“He was connected to the Chinese Yakuza company Krotsuki Doo (黑月堂). “If we’re going to warn those Kurotsuki guys, we need to make a little noise.”
Ah, the Black Moon Party that appeared in the game also existed in Japan. The Black Moon Party, or Kurotsukidō in Japanese, was a Chinese gangster, a large corporation, and a group with the characteristics of a secret society that grew by taking advantage of the chaotic situation in China, which was divided into three after World War III. It was a name that was not unfamiliar to me as it was Black Moon Party, which often appeared as a villain in the youngest son of a chaebol family and its predecessor, TMC.
Kurotsugidō used the method of first taking control of the back alleys and then establishing local corporations. Of course, the most frequently mobilized methods while carrying out this method were violence, drugs, and dark money.
Kinichiro Matsuhira was also likely to have been bribed with Doo Kurotsuki’s money. Or, seeing as he talks abnormally a lot, he may be addicted to drugs. It could be said that a better way to deal with such a Kurotsukidou would be to show him directly like this rather than disappearing.
“Retaliation will soon follow on Akita’s part.”
“There have been rumors that Kurotsuki guys can be seen in rural areas where people don’t have much interest, so you can think of it as an opportunity to wipe them all out.”
“If there is a situation where you need my help, please contact me. “I will help you.”
“Ho ho ho! That’s amazing. Are you going to help this eldest sister?”
Nagumo Xian smiled brightly and hugged me. As my face was buried softly in her big breasts, full of motherhood, I felt a sense of relief.
“We should be able to solve this problem. You can become the president of Tyra Group. But if you’re having a hard time, please contact me.”
Nagumo Xian, who released her hug, looked at me with her strange eyes. Soon a police officer came up to me to hear the case. The police officer was a manly-looking man with dark eyebrows. Chisami Suzuki was also giving a statement to other police officers about what happened.
“Look, police officer. “This child is my guest, so you shouldn’t be rude to him.”
“I understand, Great Mother! “I will do it kindly!”
Godmother… I understood why Nagumo Xian was so happy about my eldest sister’s remarks. If a single police officer could call her godmother, the entire region would have treated Nagumo Sian with respect by calling her godmother. I didn’t think it would be very nice to be called ‘Godfather’ in the Nara region.
“Mr. Taira Ryuta? “Let me just ask you a simple question.”
“Yes, I will tell you everything I know.”
This statement was a formality anyway. The Tyra Group is already in control of this community, so how can the police be any different? Rather, it was highly likely that Matsuhira Kinichiro, who died in the Taira Group, was a victim of Kurotsukido. Then the police will chase Kurotsukido.
“Have you seen the murderer?”
“I couldn’t see him clearly because he was far away, but he was wearing black tech clothing and was holding a gun.”
My notebook and black tech wear… I saw a police officer writing. It’s amazing that there are still people using analog notebooks like this. Well, because it’s Japan, there are still a lot of people carrying notebooks, but these days, there are probably more people writing or recording things with their smartphones.
“Have you ever seen this pattern on black techwear?”
The shape shown by the police was a black circle. Of course, this pattern was Kurotsuki Doh’s pattern, but even if you put that black circle pattern on black techwear, it wouldn’t be visible.
“It’s black, so I don’t know if that pattern is on it. “Maybe it won’t stick?”
“Hmm… Is that so? All right. Thank you for your cooperation.”
I shook hands with the police officer and finished my statement. Nagumo Shian’s presence in Akita Prefecture is amazing. It wasn’t just a murder, he was a witness to a shooting and murder case, but it ended with him only being asked two questions.
“I guess I’ll be busy now too. “It’s late today, so you can sleep at the hotel you booked today, and there’s no need to work tomorrow because the superintendent has died, so get up and go back to Chiba right away.”
“Yes, eldest sister.”
“Hmm… ! I really like the title “Eldest sister,” But I think it’s better not to use it because your uncle or aunt won’t like it if they hear it. “Just call me godmother.”
Nagumo Xian pointed out the issue of titles as if he was worried about me. The three successors were trying to gain Nagumo Xian’s support, and if I used the word ‘eldest sister’ in a friendly way, I could become the target of attack by all three.
“Do you like my eldest sister better?”
“It’s not time to reveal yourself yet.”
Nagumo Xian spoke seriously, as if he had sensed the ambition hidden in my heart.
“If you get the full support of at least the three presidents of key subsidiaries, then you will be able to reveal your aspirations.”
“Three places… ?”
Three places… If it was a lot, it was a large number. If it was small, it was a small number. Nagumo Xian looked at me like that and smiled peculiarly. And he whispered softly in my ear.
“If you get the support of two, I will be the third.”
I bowed my head to Nagumo Xian without answering. He probably helped me because he had a connection with Taira Saburo, but I was grateful that he helped me without forgetting my ancestors’ connection.
“Now take your boss and go rest. “I’m busy now because I have to prepare to fight Kurotsuki.”
“Try hard, Godmother. Next time, I will call you eldest sister.”
“Hehe, I hope so too.”
Nagumo Shian saw Chisami Suzuki who had finished the investigation and told me to go now, so I said hello and went in front of Chisami Suzuki. Chisami Suzuki looked very surprised, as if this was the first time someone nearby had died.
“Vice leader, let’s go.”
“Yes yes… ! “Let’s get out of here first.”
Kinichiro Matsuhira’s body was taken by the police, but there were many objects that reminded him of the situation at that time, such as blood stains and a standing golf cart, so Chisami Suzuki wanted to escape quickly. I said hello to Nagumo Xian and the head of the public relations department and was about to go to the headquarters of Taira Foods, where the vehicle we were riding in was located. As if Shigumo Nian had told me in advance, another golf cart came and gave us a ride.
When I arrived at the parking lot of Taira Foods headquarters, I picked up Chisami Suzuki and started driving in silence. Now that I think about it, I should report this situation to Yukiko. If I just passed on without seeing it, I would be scolded a lot, right?
“Ah, I guess I should report the situation to the director…”
I called Yukiko.
-Ryuta, what’s going on?
“Mom, I’m contacting you because I have something to report to you.”
When calling with Yukiko and I’s personal code, if you called me “Mother”, It meant that someone was around or that you were calling for official business.
“Kinichiro Matsuhira, the head of the Kitatohoku branch, has died.”
-Huh? What does that mean?
In response to Yukiko’s question, I told her what had happened up to this point. Of course, because Chisami Suzuki was listening next to him, he did not say that this incident was in fact the work of the Taira Group, but loosely said that it seemed to be related to Kurotsuki Doo. Yukiko also answered that she knew as if she had heard her name called Kurotsuki too.
-Take a break today and come back right away tomorrow without having to do any work. I’ll make a flight reservation for you.
“Thank you, mother.”
-Please change Deputy Team Leader Suzuki.
“Yes.”
Since I was driving, I was using speaker phone, so Chisami Suzuki was also listening. As soon as Yukiko finished speaking, Chisami Suzuki immediately picked up her phone and shared her story with Yukiko before hanging up. Considering the length of the story, it didn’t seem to have much content.
“What did your mother say?”
Since we were alone, I made it easy for Chisami Suzuki to talk to her. Chisami Suzuki didn’t seem to have any objection to me making her talk more comfortable.
“He said he had a hard time. “And he said he would have three days of vacation after this business trip.”
Hmm, do you want to give it to me too? Then the vacation is almost a month.
“Have you recovered now?”
“Yes, thank you for taking care of me, Ryuta.”
I’m glad you recovered. Then I’ll have to ask something I’m curious about.
“By the way, what was your relationship with Chieri Mimata at the Taira Donation Foundation? She didn’t seem to get along very well…”
“There was some work-related friction with Mr. Mimata. “It wasn’t Ichiro’s or Jiro’s line, and I don’t think it was Kokoro’s line either.”
“Was there anything else unusual about Mimata Chieri?”
“Hmm… Oh, there’s one. I often went on vacation for two or three days. Now that I think about it, I remember being scolded for using vacation time when I had an important schedule at work. “I think we probably had a falling out since then.”
Vacation… ! Even the day before the business trip, Chieri Mimata was away on her vacation. She couldn’t possibly be here during her vacation, right? Is it a leap to think that Chieri Mimata is a killer just because of her meager hair color?
“But why are you suddenly talking about Mimata-san?”
“I was just curious as I was driving. “What are you going to do when you get vacation?”
I turned the topic to Chisami Suzuki’s question. As she talked about vacation, Chisami Suzuki said that if she takes vacation, she just rests at home. Then, when I asked if I could go home after work, it was very cute to see her nod her head, turning her brown skin red.
“We have arrived. “I’m a little hungry so I’m thinking about getting something to eat, but what do you want to do, Suzuki?”
“I still can’t digest what I ate during the field trip. “I’ll go to the hotel first.”
Actually, I ate quite a bit during the factory tour. By the standards of an average woman, it would be quite full. Of course, for me, who needed a lot of calories, it wasn’t very full, but Chisami Suzuki decided to go to the hotel first and we parted ways in the parking lot.
“Akita Prefecture’s specialty…”
Still, if you come to another region, it is polite to try that region’s food.
The specialty of Akita Prefecture that I searched for was a food called Kiritanpo (きりたんぽ), which is a food made by crushing rice on a stick, forming it into a cylindrical shape, and grilling it. At first glance, it looks like a food between rice cake and scorched rice. They say you usually grill it like that and spread it on soy sauce or eat it as a nabe, but since I was a little hungry, I decided on the nabe and found a restaurant to eat it.
The chicken broth contained konjac, burdock, green onions, chicken, and of course, cut Kiritanpo, which Akita Prefecture is proud of. Hmm… ! It was delicious to eat Kiritanpo with hot soy sauce-based chicken broth. Kiritanpo is similar to grilled rice cake in Korean, but the texture is softer.
After enjoying Kiritanpo Nabe to my heart’s content and buying beer and snacks at a convenience store, I entered the hotel and saw Chisami Suzuki lying on the bed in her underwear, looking at me.
“How about some exercise after eating, Ryuta?”
“Good~!”
I was already taking off my pants, thinking it was okay. From today until tomorrow morning, I will have to completely imprint myself on the scandalous body of Chisami Suzuki.
