"Alex, you said tha' boss is gonna come! Where's he ?"

Alex's eye twitches in irritation.

"Bones...for the 50th time, he will be here at 3. It's 11 now."

"Eh ?" Bones questions. "That's so long."

"It's 4 hours, Bones. Besides you should be happy you have that time."

"Why ?"

Alex gestures around the room, which was littered with beer cans, potato chip packets, cigarette boxes and other waste.

"... I'll start when Kong's back."

"Start what ?"

Kong enters the dirty rooms and throws his jacket on the couch.

Bones groans and Alex smiles in satisfaction.

"Well Bones, you'd better get started. Kong too. You have a good 4 hours to clean before Boss comes."

Bones nods obediently but stops when a question pops in his head.

"Um...Alex ? Why's the boss comin' 'ere ? Ain't he gotta go MIA and shit ?"

Alex frowns but then relaxs.

"I think the boss needs something... Now, stop with the questions and clean this place until it's fucking spotless !"

"Yes, Boss number 2 !"

'He's in pain.'

That's the first thing Eiji noticed when he looked at his new mentor.

'But he's so young.'

Eiji is currently seated with him in the study. After his Father introduced him, Seijirou left for a meeting.

'He's probably going to cut someone's fingers off.'

"Okumura-kun, as you have already heard, my name is Hanashobu Shiro. I'm pleased to be working with you."

"... Hanashobu-sensei..."

Shiro wrinkles his nose at this.

"Please call me Shiro. Sensei makes me sound old."

"...Shiro-san." Eiji tried. Shiro seems appeased by it.

"Then please call me Eiji."

Shiro shakes his head.

"I apologize, Okumura-kun. But I was instructed to only refer to you by your family name."

'I see.'

"Shiro-san, if you do not mind me asking, how old are you ?"
