When did I say goodbye? (Soukoku)

CH 2

"Are all the bodies here ?"

"Yes sir "

They have lost way too many people, Port Mafia executive Nakahara Chuuya sighed.
This Guild is causing more trouble than he thought, they would.

"I am leaving the rest to you Hirotsu-san, boss has called for me"

"Rest assured Nakahara-san "

He has been to the boss's office so many times, call it his intuitions but something feels off about this visit.

"I am here, boss"

"Oh Chuuya-kun you don't look well, is something wrong ?"

"I am fine boss. We just retrieved the bodies of our men. We have lost too many people "

"I know, that is the reason I called you here. We are making an alliance with the armed detective agency "

"The detective agency? "

Chuuya never questioned his boss's decisions before but his personal feelings aside the armed detective agency is their number one enemy.

"They are the only gifted agency powerful enough to make an alliance with. They also have a lot of familiar faces, we can trust them for now.
We need to drive away the guild as soon as possible, we can't let some foreigners destroy our city."

Chuuya understands. He shouldn't let his personal life interfere with the wellness of the city.

"If boss trusts them I don't have any issue"

"That's good. Tonight you will go the place Q is being held at. Dazai-kun will be there as well.
Nothing is better than bringing back Soukoku to show them that taking over Yokohama is not as easy as they thought.
What do you say Chuuya-kun?"

The smile Dr. Mori has says enough.
Chuuya has no other choice but to accept

"I will send you the time and place of the attack, please reach in time I don't want to make a bad impression on the Agency. Am I clear?"

"Yes boss, I will be on time"

"Good, you can go home for now"

"Thank you boss"

Sending him home early means a lot of things.
First thing being,
'take care of the child you never know what happens'
It's not a nice gesture, it's a threat.

If Chuuya refuses to the alliance, nothing may happen to him but he can't say the same for his daughter.
He has kept her hidden for the past four years, but Dr. Mori has always shown him that he is aware of the child's existence and will not hesitate to hold her over Chuuya if needed.
Chuuya is sure he also knows who the other father is.

"Mama!", a little girl ran to him as soon as he opened the door.

"Rei, I told you not to run"
His voice so soft and gentle no one will believe he is the same scary mafia guy.

"Mama is fast today!"

"Yes I am", he picked up the child and went inside.

He has kept Rei in a small apartment within the town not far from the Port Mafia base but hidden enough to not cause any suspicions among enemies

"Nakahara-san, you are back. Should I leave now ?"
Rei's nanny was handpicked by Kouyou, she is well trained in weapons and is to never leave Rei with anyone other than Kouyou or Chuuya himself.

"No, I am not here for long, you probably need to stay the night as well"

"Mama not sleep with me today?" Rei pouted
