Exchange (Soukoku & Shin Soukoku)

3- The Port Mafia

Atsushi has already had the chance to meet the mob boss, the time they were both locked in Anne's room during the triangular dispute between organizations. Although they didn't talk much, Mori seemed to him to be an intelligent person, and even kind.

Therefore, he assumed that the boss's office would be dark, with a long dining table with many guards on either side, watching over the safety of their leader. Instead, Ougai Mori was found facing a blonde girl with a pile of dresses around her.

"Pleeeeeeeease Elise-chan~" The black-haired man begged kneeling in front of the girl "This dress would suit you so well~"

"I said no, Rintaro!" Elise complained.

"Ahem, Boss..." Chuuya cleared his throat.

With unparalleled speed, Mori hid the dresses and sat down at her desk.

"You saw nothing." warned.

Atsushi and Kenji entered, followed by Nakahara. The three bowed.

"I see you've already brought our interns" The boss continued nonchalantly "That's very good. Tell me, what do you think of the Port Mafia?"

"There are some very nice buildings" Kenji commented helpfully "They're big."

"Oh yes. They were only worth a few billion dollars each one. What does Atsushi-kun think?"

"Oh, well..." The weretiger twisted his fingers nervously "Everything is very big. And expensive."

Chuuya smiled.

"Unlike your cheap agency." Said.

"Chuuya-kun, we are not here to make our guests feel bad" Mori scolded "Instead, we have to make them feel welcome. Would you give them a tour?"

"Of course, Boss" He bowed respectfully "With your permission. Come on, kids."

They said goodbye, and once he had the three out of his office, Mori sighed. Elise came out from behind the desk.

"That happen to you for fool, Rintaro idiot." Said she " I'll go eat something."

"Elise-chan..." He muttered pitifully as he watched the girl walk away.

A few floors down, Chuuya, Atsushi, and Kenji bumped into Akutagawa, who wasn't too pleased.

"Jinko?"

"Akutagawa."

"Jinko!"

"Akutagawa!"

"JINKO!"

"AKUTAGAWA!"

"Kenji!" He exclaimed. The rivals stopped to look at him.

"Thank you, Kenji," Chuuya said. "And, you two, stop with your nonsense."

Letting out a grunt, they looked away.

"Why did you send for me, Chuuya-san?" The mob dog asked reluctantly.

"Can't I send for my subordinate?" The older questioned "I'm your superior, and I don't owe you any explanations. So, do you have a problem with it?"

Akutagawa muttered a denial looking at the floor and coughed slightly. Chuuya clapped his hands.

"Very good, now let's go with Black Lizard."

He led them down a hallway that led to a door. Akutagawa stepped forward, and as soon as he opened it, a spray of water hit him full in the face. Kenji and Chuuya laughed outright, and although Atsushi wanted to hold back, he ended up laughing too.
