Part 1: Daughters of the tiger den.

Yn visited his club to see how business was. Sakura and the hostesses all greeted their big boss.

Sakura/Hostesses:(bows) Welcome back, boss.

Yn: Whoa-whoa! No need to be so formal.

Sakura: To keep our prestige we must stay prestige.

Yn: Well... Thank you for the welcome. Can I have a drink?

Sakura: Of course. What would you like?

Yn: Ice tea.

Sakura: Right away. After me.

Following Sakura to the bar, she prepares Yn's usual choice of lemon iced tea. With a big sip, he and she talked business.

Yn: How's business?

Sakura: Income is steady. No issues.

Yn: Nothing causing trouble?

Sakura: Of course not.

Hostess: Excuse me, we aren't open-hey!

Yn/Sakura:?

Turning to the entrance, the two Yakuza found a squad of ladies in leather barging into the club.

Yn: Sorry, we aren't that kind of club.

Sakura: They're...

Yn: Hm? What's wrong?

Sakura: Boss, those are the outfits worn by the "Tiger Den" trainees.

Yn: "Tiger Den"? Are you talking about that warehouse where your father trained all those girls?

Sakura: I completely forgot about them...

Sakura: Why are you here!?

Tiger girl: Our new master- I mean father... Sent us.

Yn: New father?

Sakura: My father died! Abandon this father of yours and go live your lives!

Tiger girl 2: Hmph! Of course, the princess wouldn't understand...

Sakura:(glares) Excuse me...?

Tiger girl 3: Things are not that simple! We have our little sisters to look after...

Sakura: Orphanages exist for a reason. I will hear NO EXCUSES over perpetuating that sin!

Sakura: Girls. Leave us to our guests.

The hostesses leave the room as Yn and Sakura rip off their tops to summon their persona.

End of part 1


Part 2: Faint ignorance

Surrounded by the unconscious assassins of the Tiger's den they just beat up. Yn and Sakura looked at one another.

Sakura: I must head to the Tiger's den and settle this.

Sakura: These girls should be free not under the control of some other master.

Yn: I'm coming with you.

Sakura: Boss, this mistake is entirely my own. Allow me to make amends.

Sakura: I should have made sure they disbanded... I just...

Yn: Any mistake you make is mine as well. Take me to the Tigers Den, we will settle this together.

Sakura:... Understood.

Grabbing their jackets, the two head off to a shipping yard with many warehouses. Both Yn and Sakura said little to each other, neither being the most talkative type.
