Ayashi catering company, 07:00. April 10th,1999.

Although, Yaguchi and Ages Knights had won the video game tournament and Daniel had already written the breakup paper that night, work continued, just like any normal days. Oono also came with him disguised as Shiori. At the morning meeting, everyone noticed that the two fingers of their shift leader were bandaged. "Don't worry about it. It's not seriously injured, and the doctor says I can work. I just can't raise it yet." said he, like it's a normal thing. After that, everybody goes to work.

Until noon, they were looking at a normal day. However, when the last truck was loaded, one of the employees rushed to Yaguchi, who had just completed the paperwork on the transport. "Hey, boss. You have a visitor. She says she's here on Business." said he, while he clear his forehead. "Thank you. I'm coming." Yaguchi replied and he was on his way to the office, which was a small room. There he was waiting for a woman called The Demon, Lillith Oono. "Welcome, Yaguchi Haruo." said she with fake smile. "Good day Lillith. It's good to see you up close and personal." said he, while he take off the mask. "How can I help you? If you want to sign a contract with our company, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Then the boss comes." "You know, why I'm here." Lillith's voice was light, as if she had met a friend. Yaguchi, on the other hand, knew it was a huge act. For now, he's playing his part. He smiled. "Yeah. Sorry, I forgot. Shiori! Can you get me two cups of coffee?" He said that question to the woman, who was just coming in and put a fat document on Yaguchi's desk. Until she brought the drink, the two opponents looked each other in the eye. This is where the first round began. Yaguchi still remembered what Narumi had said about his wife and asked him to be careful with her. When Shiori came back and put down the cups, he spoke again. "Thank you. Please fill out the documents you just brought in. Right now, my writing hand is a little messed up." This great cover story was the perfect time for the woman to stay here. Lillith did not know that her youngest daughter right next to Yaguchi, in disguise. "So, tell me what's important?" said he with confident voice. "Do you know what parenting and business have in common?" Lillith asked, still in a light voice, but there was a strong determination in her. He knew what he was getting at, but he mustn't expose things now. "No. I mean, I've never had a kid, and I'm just a shift leader here." he replied, then she giggled. "Yeah, it's hard to say this point of wiew, but I'll tell you. The fact that we often have to make difficult decisions, sometimes painful. In order to make a better future, we have to make any kind of sacrifice." "What are you getting at?" ask Yaguchi. "If you wanted to make a baby with me, You missed this train. I never got excited about the love affair with an older woman." Then Lillith groan for half a second, but his light voice returned quickly. She giggled again, and then she drank his coffee. "You misunderstood, so let this get clear. I know the fact, that you are dating Akira. I have no problem with that in normal way." "That's great, but don't expect me to call you mom." said Yaguchi with a smile. He remembered that he had to ask the architect what kind of roof he had built, because it's not collapsed with that many lies, what she said. Lillith's face, on the other hand, showed that he was about to burst from the pure anger, but the detonation was still imminent. She continued in a dignified tone. "It's true, I don't have a problem with her going against my wishes. But it's bad for my business, and our family's financial future is at stake. Unfortunately, her marriage with Daniel has just saved a pretty important business and you are considered a distraction." "Enough of the charade! I know why he came wants me... to break all my personal contacts with Oono and never meet her again."

Then Shiori broke the pen in her hand and threw it in the trash. Luckily, Lillith didn't notice because he was watching Yaguchi's face the whole time. She was pleased that Yaguchi made the point. But he remembered where Moegi failed. She will have to cut some. "I don't want to ask for anything like that. I am not soulless. All you need is your love with her. Of course, you can stay as friends, maybe even lovers, and go to the video game tournaments as a team. And it's not even free." Then she took out a checkbook and showed it to him after some writing. " will give you 20 million yen and my word that I will ask you nothing else." That's when Yaguchi anger amps up to eleven. That's the biggest piece of shit he ever seen in his life. Now he's not listening, he's act up. Just like his mother doing it to Moegi. "Shiori! Is the shredder still good?" She just nodded, and Yaguchi took the check out of Lillith's hand and threw them in there, which, after a long buzz, was chunk was left of the paper. That's when Lillith switched to an angry face. Yaguchi doesn't stop there. "You know what money can't buy? Love. I know you make a living disposing of other people and you fucked up a business and you're trying to fix it. Besides, I've been a thorn in his family, more specifically your eyes since I've been with Oono. In fact, we started off on the wrong foot, but to this day, I still think of her as the best woman, and I've never looked at her money. And I certainly never turned my head to take nothing. I don't care what you do to ruin our relationship, because it's never gonna work. And if you had only one shred of common sense, you wouldn't have turned to me with this soulless offer." From that sentence, Lillith immediately jumped up, and her chair flipped over. "How dare you defy my fucking request?!" She shouted so loud, that some workers came out of the factory and looked at what was happening here. Yaguchi's face didn't even flinch. "Because you failed in every way. As a mother and as a businesswoman! you're not even worthy of being called mother by Akira and Makoto! I'm done with you here and if you can, pull it off to this place, before the security guards take it out!"
