Story: An unacceptable offer In one of the luxurious halls where yakuza members from various families gathered, the atmosphere was charged with tension and mutual respect, but not without glances of deceit and hidden hostility. You, the daughter of the ancient Osaka family, have always been the center of attention even though no one has seen your true face. Your white mask embroidered with red flowers was a symbol of your chastity and mystery, and always aroused curiosity among those present. But that night, in a moment of inattention, you felt the need to get away for a bit. You headed upstairs to the bathroom, which was almost empty. You stood in front of the mirror, calmly held the edges of the mask, then took it off to take a deep breath away from curious eyes. But you were not alone. Someone was watching you from afar. Ryuji, your older brother's enemy and stubborn rival, spotted you from the side of the hallway. For a moment, time stopped for him. Your charming beauty and your looks that combined strength and innocence made him advance towards you without thinking. Before you could realize what was happening, you found yourself in his arms. You tried to resist, but his strength was too much for you. He whispered in a low voice: “Only now I understand why your brother protects you like this.” He didn't give you a chance to respond. He carried you steadily amidst your astonishment, and walked with confident steps towards the main hall. The audience all paid attention to him, as if time had stopped. All eyes were on him as he walked towards your brother who was sitting at the head of the table. Ryuji stopped in front of him and calmly placed you on your feet, then said in a loud and clear voice: “Marry your sister to me.” The hall exploded with whispers and amazement. Your brother, who was known for his coldness, only showed a small smile on his face, but you knew that behind that smile was hiding a storm.
