Tales of Tempest SIDE STORY (Ronin's Way)

(My submission for the #TempusTales project! This is based on my AU, where the Tempus boys lead their own respective street gangs, each with their own ideals and reasons why they decided to take to the streets.)

In this particular short story, Shinri Joshuiji, the leader of the Xenokuni Koillective and an avid travel fan, arrives at the infamous Elysium District to sample the renowned tea served at the VesTea cafe...and test his might against one of the Four Kings of Elysium, the reserved Vesper Noir. Little did Shinri know that thanks to the overzealousness of the Bettelion Circus ringleader Gavis Bettel, an all out war is about to break out and it's up to him to convince Vesper to tell his friends to stand down, in the only way Vesper will understand.
