Kappei Hattori and Nanako walked side-by-side, chatting and s at each otherIt looked veryeach other's coreat hed
She was trailing behind the couple with Hideki Kujyo, Nanako's older brother
”I would hope so,” he said stiffly
His distant de to speak
She added, ”I heard that Hattori- sama was accepted into Tokyo University based entirely on his own ree and PhD at UC BerkeleyNot only is he super suess that's what happens when you're raised as a HattoriI've heard nothing but great things about how kind, huentle up the ranks in the Special Higher Police for the past couple of years tooHe would make Ms Nanako the happiest woman in the world”
There was ht better of itThis e was not only between Nanako and KappeiIt would be a union between the Hattori and Kujyo fa of the Special Higher Police, which held more power today than ever before
It would be the dawn of a new era
Hideki did not respond to Sylvie this ti as if out of shame
A while later, Nanako climbed into the car that would take her to a lunch appointment with a friend
Kappei sent her one final smile and a wave as the car drove awayThen, he made his way towards Hideki Kujyo
”Hideki, reeted cheerily, ”Look at you! You've beco my rounds as a cop”
Hideki smiled and nodded curtly”You are too humble, KappeiAs the coreater things than I a, his eyes could not help but creep up to Hideki's hair
”Your hairstyle” he started
”Oh, it's nothingIt was just a spur-of-the-,” Hattori interrupted quickly
”It is very reminiscent of a certain dictator's!”
Hattori was too embarrassed to respondHideki quickly led him into the house, where he steered the conversation far away fro for the aardness tolike old buddies
As they spoke, Kappei Hattori could not help but throw glances in Sylvie's way
This went on for a few minutes before Hideki asked her to leave the room
Then, he turned to Kappei and spoke seriously, ”Did the superintendent send you here for a specific reason?”
The superintendent he was referring to was Kappei's father, the head of the Special Police ForceIn a society as traditional as japan's, a person's fa
Kappei's reply was cal to youNow that Nanako and I are getting married, our families are joined as oneMy father hopes that this union could be even closerYou kno it is—five clenched fingers are stronger than one finger alone”
He went on to lay down the terrew visibly pale as he listened intently to his future brother-in-laords
The Kujyos wanted to rub of benefits by associating with the Hattoris, but likewise, the Hattoris also planned on take the opportunity to absorb the resources that the Kujyos possessed in the financial and political doreater than Hideki Kujyo could ireaterThey nearly wanted to devour more than half of the Kujyos' resources
Kappei shook his head with a chuckle when he noticed that Hideki had become ashen-faced
”There's no need to be quite so nervous, Hideki,” he said condescendingly, ”All ant is to combine our families' resources and influenceI know it's a lot to take in right now, but in no tierow our power
”This will not just benefit lory of both the Hattoris and the KujyosYou've got to set your sights further, ht smile
”Yes, I understand,” he nodded
”WonderfulI'lad you do,” Kappei said without a care
He then changed the topic with see casualness
”Oh, that maid as here just now,” he started, ”that was Sylvie, wasn't it? Nanako told ether?”
”That is correct,” Hideki responded, ”Sylvie ht be a maid, but she and Nanako are as close as sisters”
Kappei's face broke into a grin”It would be terrible to separate them, wouldn't it? I think Sylvie should stay with us when Nanako and I htlyeHowever, he quickly understood the true intention behind this suggestion when he saw Kappei's lewd sHe said, ”That wouldn't be a problemI'll let Sylvie know”
Kappei chuckled with satisfactionHe continued, ”I've heard that Nanako's father had always ensured that she had a dozen ht as well send all of them to us when Sylvie coets lonely”
Hideki's reply was instant, ”SureConsider it done”
This was a request that he could easily agree to, unlike the one that demanded his family's resources to be shared
When Kappei Hattori bade Hideki goodbye, he was in good spiritsThe Captain South Korea fiasco seeotten for now
For Hideki Kujyo, however, thiswas far froureThere was nothing hts were swirling in his eyes, illu them
”Heh hehIt sure seems like the Hattoris are already corrupted”
The lights that flickered in his eyes dimmed when he spun around to see Sylvie appear fro
Hideki took in her woeful expressionHe asked, ”You heard everything?”
Sylvie bowed in response and said, ”MrHideki, you have always been kind to meYour father and MsNanako have been as wellI will do anything for the Kujyo familyI will make any sacrifice”
When she raised her head, there was a fiery determination in her eyesShe trusted hiht decisions that would herald a glorious future for the Kujyo dynasty
Hideki's expression was grave as he et the sacrifice that you have made,” he said
Then, he bowed deeply, ”Please take care of Nanako”
With his face hidden from view, an unfathomable a smile appeared on Hideki's lips
