"Sort out these papers, and these, and these, and maybe even these... And transfer all the data to Bonten's database. Then find those Haitani assholes and find out where they put the contract they were supposed to give you last week."

Kokonoi laid out several documents on the table in front of you and after a little thought, added a few more to them. He looked around at the pile, nodded in satisfaction, and walked away from the table where you were sitting, concentrating on your work. You didn't care who Hajime really was, or what organization he belonged to. The man gave you a job and a stable good income, and that was enough.

After working alongside Kokonoi for two years, you quickly realized that he was a very demanding boss. Sometimes too much. He regarded his subordinates as pawns, bargaining chips that could be replaced by others. How else you'd lasted so long was a mystery.

After studying the documents, you pulled out from another stack the contract that Rindo Haitani, the youngest of the brothers, brought you just yesterday. Knowing that your boss would be furious about the state of the document, you already accepted what was coming and went about your work.

"What did those two bastards do to him?!"

Kokonoi took the document by the corner in disgust and lifted it up, examining the traces of blood and some other strange greasy spots on it. You thought they were ketchup stains or something.

"Two brutes who don't understand anything about the importance of documents. How much money will we lose because of them..."

While the man cursed and cursed Haitani, you went about your work. I think your visit to your brothers was canceled, but your work didn't stop.
