Peko Pekoyama had only been living with Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu for about a month, finally away from the stressful situation they had been living in, though they still do live in the Kuzuryu Clan’s area and are very involved in their business. Peko is still serving Fuyuhiko as a bodyguard and hitman and barely leaves his side in public, however, there was a new danger for her.

Peko was no stranger to assassins constantly going after Fuyuhiko, but one known as Maki Harukawa always evaded no matter how much Peko chased her away and fought, which always left her very injured. The worst Maki could ever do is blind Fuyuhiko’s right eye.

Peko had run off again after another one of Maki’s assassination attempts despite Fuyuhiko’s protests. Peko was eventually led into a forest where she and Maki engaged in combat, this time, Peko was left on the ground and bleeding out while she could only watch as Maki walked away, believing she was dead. Luckily, she was still conscious when Fuyuhiko found her with the help of a tracking app.

“Young master, I’m so... sorry...” Peko was barely able to speak due to the pain she was in from all the cuts and stabs she received, watching Fuyuhiko with a blurry vision as she continued to be immobile on the ground.
