44 This is love indeed (1/2)

”Yes! Queen! Of! Japan! From now on that's you!” He excitedly said while looking at me with glistening eyes.

.....How come he seems more into this than me?

”Although on the surface the 3 kings are still higher ranked, you'll still have more influence and hold more importance than them. Just like in real chess, they're just decoration while you're the more powerful one!”

Hmmm....that does sound nice. As long as I don't become some pawn then I'm okay with it. It's not like I'm obsessed with gaining power or anything.

I just wanted to live a normal peaceful life...but it looks like that won't be possible anymore.

Here goes nothing then.

”I'll work for you, as long as you don't touch my family or friends. I don't want them dragged into this giant mess.”

Judging from what I heard, I doubt any of my acquaintances could go against Joker's backing. The scale of this entire problem is just too large.

”Of course, of course. I'm not interested in those lackeys.” He quickly agreed.

. . .

Some of my 'lackeys' are actually quite amazing...

”So uh, what do I do exactly?” I asked. ”Will I be acting on the front lines or behind the scenes? Business? Management?”

”Tsk tsk, Yuri. You're my second-in-command now! You don't need to worry about all the trivial details. I'll inform you whenever I need your assistance with business deals or....quieting some people. You know what I'm talking about. Here, I'm sure you play Sapphire so contact me in the game later. We've always been doing business in the game ever since it came out. It's more efficient than meeting face-to-face.”

I took the piece of paper he offered.

So his username is....Joker. Of course.

Should have expected it. No change at all.

”Oh! I almost forgot, I also have a gift to show my sincerity!”

Walking behind his desk and opening up a compartment, he took out a pitch-black leather case and placed it on the table.

”Come over here and open this. I'm sure you'll love it.” He commanded with a suspiciously confident smile. ”It wasn't easy to get these in Japan you know.”

I opened up the case with curiosity.

Within the red velvet, two very expensive guns appeared.

Seeing what was inside, my eyes widened and I unconsciously started grinning.

This is it.

I think I've fallen in love.

I held up the twin silver 44 Magnum revolvers in my hands and gazed at them in awe.

Beautiful. Perfect. Yup, this is love for sure.
