Yamamoto walked upstairs, nervous about meeting his boss. The new boss is a mysterious woman that the old boss raised in strict protection. He had heard a lot of rumors of the Oni, but the most notable one is when she is introduced by the old head as his successor.
One of the lieutenants asks about her capability as a successor. She just said that she will prove it and said nothing else. One week later, unbeknownst to everyone
She sneaks into the rival organization headquarters that was having a party and assassinates their heir. She proves it by eliminating the other rival organization's heir and fighting her way out using all kinds of weapons she picked up from her slain enemies, and mainly, her dagger before she escaped at the enemies base.
The old boss, the Yakuza, and the entire city woke up from the commotion. She returned to headquarters full of wounds and she faced the one who questioned her last week. She said with an expressionless face
"I proved it. Now, it's all your turn to do your duties and responsibilities to the family"
The lieutenants, the old boss, and other members are shocked, then start scrambling while cursing to prepare for the inevitable gang war. What happened next was a fight that lasted for hours with so many losses at both sides and ended at the enemies suffering heavy losses
I heard from my brothers that she got the scolding of a century from the old boss.. and she deserves it! Good thing I joined later on when the old boss died. So, I later learned all her 'good' deeds at the battlefield from the other members
She also had so many kills that It reached near 3 digits in the following fights through the years. But the year after her grandpa died, she did not participate in any fights anymore and only managed the direction of the family. But that doesn't mean that she was weakened or something. It's much more terrifying now that she steadied her sword. We didn't know when she'll go bananas.
'Sigh.. I hope that she keeps her calm forever. I'm worried that she'll personally going to join the chaos that's happening in the distance'
Yamamoto reached the second floor and looked at the people guarding the boss. He passed them under their pressuring gaze and his sweat started to ooze out. He reached the door and knocked gently
"Knock, knock"
A moment later, a voice sounded inside the room
"Enter"
The voice is pleasant to the ears like listening to a flowing stream. Yamamoto pulled the handle of the door and entered the room. He then gently closed it and flinch at the sight of the backside of the door, then looked at the head of the Yakuza
The boss of Yakuza has a height of 175cm and her age is about 24 to 26, has a heart face with long black hair at the back, bangs and short hair at the side. Her red eyes are piercing and full of will. She has a high nose and her lips are plump that have the color that matches her eyes. The only regrettable thing about her is her flat chest. Of course, no one dares to point that out. Much more so after seeing her artwork at the door
She wore eyeglasses and wore a black turtle neck long sleeve and white trousers, partnered with dirty cream rubber shoes. She's just like a normal fashion teen that you'll meet everywhere. When people see her, they'll just think that she's a pretty girl, and for the case of men, she's just a target to hit up to. Never did they know she's an experienced killer and a boss of an underground organization.
Yamamoto looked at the office and realized that the furniture in the office is all wood. There's a faint scent of wood and it calms him down.
The boss then stopped staring at the distance while standing at the window. Then turned around and sat in her chair. She looked at him and said
"Have a seat"
He immediately walked and sat at the chair as he knew that their boss hates to repeat her words. The boss then looked at him and said
"I've been notified by the surveillance team that they captured footage of a woman entering the gate of the old house. You did have a conversation with her too, so tell me what did you two talk about"
He immediately repeated his conversation with Ilaya and added his own suspicions. Like she's one of the spies of their rival groups or about being a relative of the mysterious woman that the old head tasked them to wait
The boss just listens while looking at his eyes, looking for any clues about lying or hiding information. This gives Yamamoto an indescribable feeling that he's being interrogated even if his boss didn't speak. A moment later, he finally finished his report and waited for the boss' response
He looked at the boss as she leaned back into her chair and crossed her arms. She then ask him full of curiosity
"What do you think her age is?"
Yamato gulped as the feeling of being interrogated appeared again
"I-I estimate that she's at the age of 22 to 25 years old"
She continued to stare at him then ask
"Tell me, what did you feel about her aura... no, presence"
"Um.. she has the feeling of being.. a lone wolf, she is calm and alert, that's why I thought she's a spy"
"Well of course she's alert, because she had been approached by a stranger"
The boss scoffed at him, then ask
"Is that all you need to say?"
Yamamoto then began sweating as he answered
"Y-yes .. that's all I know"
"Then you can go"
He immediately got up from his seat, then bowed to his boss. Just as he reached the door, his boss ask him again
"What was her name again?"
He stopped and looked at his boss, then said
"Ilaya, she said her name is Ilaya"
She then pondered and ask
"Is she wearing a ring?"
Yamamoto then thinks and hesitantly said
"I-I think not? Sorry boss, I'll check again when I meet her"
"Hmmm… Alright, wait for her to contact you and inform her that she can rent that house. Maintain contact with her. You can go"
He instantly replied and bowed
"Yes, boss"
He then turned and left the room
The boss, Kyora Ivana, then stared at the door, then looked down and played with her dagger while murmuring
"Ilaya.. sounds familiar.. but that's about it. I vaguely remember that mysterious woman from my childhood. But it seems that Ilaya... has a lot in common with that mysterious woman"
She looked at the image of a woman in her laptop that was captured in the surveillance camera. She clicked on the mouse and zoom the image, she studied the image of Ilaya while comparing her to the mysterious woman that she vaguely remember when she's still a child
Ivana then rubbed her heirloom ring with her finger, it was passed from her grandpa to her and he said that it was a gift by that mysterious woman to him. The ring is a transparent crystal which contains almost like a starry night sky inside it. It sparkles with colorful light and it's mesmerizing
Ivana then picked and twirled her dagger, and then said
"Is she her child? Hmm…Looks like I need to pay attention to that woman"
Ivana then abruptly held the dagger and threw it into the door. The dagger embedded deep into the wood and the new knife became a decoration, reunited with its countless siblings
