——Gourd House... Why have I never heard of this business name...
Aoto sifted through all his memories since his crossing, along with the memories of "Original Tachibana Aoto".
After a thorough search, he found that there wasn't even a mention of the business name "Gourd House", let alone any memory related to it.
Kiryu seemed to have guessed what Aoto was thinking, and he chuckled softly a few times before saying:
"Mr. Tachibana, if you haven't heard of the name Gourd House, that's quite normal."
"My lord prefers to act discreetly."
"From the inception of Gourd House to now, my lord has never made a grand announcement of its existence to the world."
"Mr. Tachibana, you can think of Gourd House as a business that likes to hide in the shadows, favoring activities in the 'underground world'.
"In the world under the sun, Gourd House isn't well-known."
"But in the 'underground world', where Yakuza, smugglers, and similar groups gather, many are aware of Gourd House."
