It is finally a break time for Chiaki from his shift, he went to the locker room, take off his bow tie, vest and apron as he hangs up properly in his locker.

He makes his way out from the café to one of his favourite lunch spot, the ramen restaurant at the end of the road. It isn't like he loves ramen or something. It's just he prefers a Japanese meal over the western meal that offered by the café where he's working. That's all.

"Welcome, Homura!" greet the owner of the ramen restaurant when he saw one of his regular. Chiaki sits at one of the chairs at the counter and places his order.

"I almost didn't recognize you" a voice from his side greet him and when he turns around, he gasped.

"A-aohitsugi?!" shocked Chiaki, he drastically stands up and retreated a bit when saw Samatoki, the yakuza member from the rival group that he battle with a few weeks ago, is sitting next to him.

"Now, now, calm down, I didn't come here to give a punch or two... I'm here to dine in...unless you're asking it, right, owner??" Samatoki speaks to the owner.

The owner laughs it off, "If you wanna fight, get out from my shop" Chiaki look at the owner, Seems like the owner just chills knowing yakuza dine in his restaurant. Monologue Chiaki.

Chiaki sit back, "Why are you here?" ask Chiaki in the alert, since he didn't bring his hypnosis microphone with him.

"Hah? What do you think people do in the ramen restaurant?" ask Samatoki. "I'm starving, that's it!" add him. Hearing Samatoki's word, Chiaki convinced that Samatoki is not stalking or purposely look for him or something like that.

Luckily, the restaurant is not packed because it is not peak hours, so, literally, it's only two or three customers in the premise. The fuss he made just now didn't cause a trouble.

"Right, boy, I don't know your name yet, what's your name?" ask Samatoki. Chiaki looks at the yakuza next to him.

"Homura, Homura Chiaki" replied him, "...and I'm not a boy, I'm just a year younger than you"

"Huh? I really thought you're much younger," comment Samatoki. Well, he cannot blame Samatoki since he does has a baby-face feature. A second later, their drink arrives.

An awkward silence between them.

"So, you really are not yakuza, aren't you?" Chiaki glanced at Samatoki.

"Why do you said so?"

"You know? In Yokohama Division, we have two yakuza groups. The Shimoda and Harbour Yakuza..."

"You surprised when you saw me just now, while this is not Shimoda's area, this is the Harbour Yakuza's area, you know," Samatoki telling the facts by refers his yakuza group as 'Harbour Yakuza'. Chiaki glared at Samatoki, sweats when he learned about that. None of the Shimoda people ever told him that important piece of information. "So, I can assure you, either you're stupidly brave enough or you not even yakuza in the first place"

Chiaki sighs, deeply, "Yeah, I'm not one of you guys, just a mere servant for Shimoda," admitted Chiaki.

"Let me guess, you're working only for that brat, isn't?" Chiaki smiles as he nodded. "Yeah, just a mere coincidence"

"I'm in debt with the group's money lender and one day, I rescued Yuto by using hypmic belongs to him and he scouted me to work for him..." tell Chiaki. "In exchange, they'll protect me and my sister and also my debt consider paid" add Chiaki.

Samatoki sighs, "As I thought, that brat is totally cunning, that's why I hate him"

Chiaki smiles, "You are right, he is young, yet his brain is brilliant...with twist stuff"
