Odasaku's pov :
It was the next day, early morning. I was usually in my room resting waiting for any calls if I would get, but to my surprise I got a call from the Mafia's Headquarters.
"Oda Sakunosuke? The Boss is looking for you."
Hanging up the phone, I hurriedly changed my clothes running out of my room and heading straight towards the office. I greeted my colleagues who were on guard duty at the entrance and I walked through the European Decorated Luxury Lobby of the Mafia Headquarters entering the elevator. Everything was spotless with no trace of fingerprints. There were guards with black suits and guns with hundreds of CCTV cameras and scanning devices everywhere.
The elevator continues to go upwards. It was the tallest building in the city and looking out from the glass of it's elevator, the entire Yokohama City was in view which was beautiful. With each floor passing, I wondered in my mind why the Leader suddenly summoned me.
Thinking about it calmly, only the Executives are allowed to enter the topmost floor to speak with the Boss directly, so for a lower staff member like me, it was the first time I was going up towards his office.
The elevator door opens interrupting my thoughts and I walked out as the guards checked my clothings. The scanning devices scanned my identity and after alot of formalities, I stood infront of the huge big door of the Leader's room.
I took a nervous breathe before declaring, "Boss, It's Odasaku. I am coming in."
"Come Elise, how about you wear this dress? Just for a bit, for a little while! Just for a second!"
Suspicious voices were coming from inside the room when the door opened by the guards and I entered the room.
Two people chasing one another, One is a middle aged man wearing complete black clothes which is our Boss. And another one was a little girl named Elise, who was probably around 7-8 years old.
(Elise was Mori Ougai's summon; or his ability called the 'Vita Sexualis'. Normally he doesn't let anyone know about his ability.)
.......
"Please, Elise.. try it on, alright? I picked this one super carefully. Look at the beautiful deep red floral pattern. It's beautiful" The Boss insisted the girl to wear a red little frock.
"Look, it's not like I hate pretty clothes. But I do hate your desperation." Elise replied.
"Boss! ..You called for me?" I spoke up again catching their attention.
Hearing my voice, the two figures turn their heads to me. The Leader surveys the surroundings again before he moves behind the desk in the center of the office and presses a button. Big glass windows displaying endless view of Yokohama is hidden instantly turning into a grey wall. The room turns dark everywhere and the faint yellow dim light turns on spotting the Leader sitting quietly on his desk. The little girl 'Elise' also disappeared. I stood straight infront of him respectfully with my arms behind.
