Apologies and forgiveness for something unforgivable

A Threat and an Executive seat

*at Ogai Mori's and the executive's hall*

"Koyou-san, Chuuya-kun and Akutagawa-kun. I awaited you. Be free and take a seat.",Mori,the Boss of this criminal organization greeted as polite and smiling as usual."

"Boss."Akutagawa and Chuuya replied. They both touched the ground with one knee showing respect towards their superior leader.

Akutagawa took a look around and his gaze was set on Paul Verlaine, the "King of Assassins". He rarely saw him in the headquarters.

Ryūnosuke himself didn't came here often but as the leader of the command unit and the Attack Force he got the permission to enter this hall.

"Rintarouuu~!!! How is this dress? Huh?..why are they all here? Ryūnosuke-san, please play with me! I wanna play Hide and Seek!"

Akutagawa secretly rolled his eyes: That girl was quite annoying but the Boss liked her so everyone here was "forced" to play with her:"Later, Elise, okay? I have important things to discuss with the Boss."

"Ah, yes, let's move to our conversation again. I've heard and seen that you improved your fighting skills and strategic thinking a lot.

And this is precisely why, I want to make you an offer:

"I want you to become my fourth executive."

"What ?!",Akutagawa thought. He was stunned by those words. His facial expression showed how surprised he was, despite controlling his feelings at any situation most of the time.

"As you know, Dazai-kun is or was the youngest executive in the history of the Port Mafia, followed by Chuuya-kun some months later. If you accept my offer of becoming an executive before your 21st birthday, which is in 35 days, you will be the third youngest. I will give you that time until your birthday to think about my offer.", Mori explained with a cunning smile and in his calculating voice.

"Didn't Dazai-san always wished that I would become an executive? Will I finally be able to satisfy him for once? But he already left... It's useless.

But maybe I can prove me by becoming one. The Boss knows exactly that I will agree. Maybe not today and not this week but surely soon."

"I'll think about your offer until the first March. I thank you for this offer.", Akutagawa finally answered with his cold and emotionless tone.

"Very well then. Until you made your decision you will be envolved in the executive matters to give you a good chance to see what responsibilities and challenges will await you.

And here's the first crisis already. This is directed at all of you, Koyou, Chuuya, Verlaine: I've got this threat this morning exactly at 11 am. But the most interesting part is that our spies near to the Detective Agency reported five minutes later that my old partner Fukuzawa received the identical threat at 11 am..."

They all glanced at the phone, wondering who would have a death wish and threat the Port Mafia's Boss and the president of the Detective Agency, the two most powerful organizations in Japan with the strongest gifted in whole Yokohama.

"Your organization will go down at our hands before the first of the third month in the year. We are far more powerful than you will ever be. Be prepared for your end because there won't be any chances for you to escape. We are the true ones."

"Pfhh..., that sounds like a weak gang full of little criminals that are doing some random dumb shit for me.", Chuuya said, not really thinking that this could actually be dangerous.

"In general you are right, Chuuya-kun, but I've gotten such a threat in the same style before

...from the Sheep."

Chuuya hissed. The Sheep, his old organization, is causing troubles again.

Mori continued:"And because of the fact that our rival organization, the Detective Agency, got involved, we shouldn't underestimate the importance of this threat and don't let our guards down.

And this is the reason why I and Fukuzawa are planning...

an alliance between the Port Mafia and the Detective Agency."
