Chapter 12: Yamada Gumi
"Today's matter, I can settle it without you!" The phone attached to his face suddenly lit up the screen, and a message appeared in Wade's eyes.
Wade, who was bored, immediately became interested when he saw the source of the news; Quickly sat up from the bed, and his fingers tapped quickly on the glowing screen, as if he were playing the piano.
As the night comes like a nightmare, the steel behemoths that rise in the sky in Nishi-ku, Osaka City light up their lights one after another, and start another lively night.
It was an ordinary edifice; In the high-rise West End, it is just one of the most ordinary members.
It does not have the height of a group of buildings, it is only the height of ordinary buildings; It doesn't have a weird or unusual appearance, it's just a regular rectangular building; But it is also the most extraordinary of all the buildings, if not because of anything else, but because of its owner, one of the three most powerful gangs in the Gokudo Collective in Osaka City, the Yamada Gumi.
On the top floor of the building, there is a specially divided conference room.
It has a Toei Edo period style decoration, and a stream flows down the uneven rockery into a man-made lake; The pink and white cherry blossom trees on both sides swayed slightly, shaking off the petals and floating on the surface of the lake.
In the center of the conference room, a large red torii gate is erected, and a name tag hanging in the center of the torii gate is engraved with three large characters - Yamada gummi.
Passing through the torii gate, you can see two rows of suits and leather shoes in the spacious conference room, where the members of the Yamada group are lined up in an orderly manner.
In front of them, a simple and elegant wooden chair was placed in the center of the wall; Its foundation was a step higher, and the sheathed sword hung silently from the back of the wooden chair, like a dragon lying still, and at the hilt of the sword, a hovering golden dragon opened its mouth to latch on to the root of the hilt, as if the blade had come out of its mouth.
This is an ancestral sword.
A lean man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist was sitting in a well-cut suit, his eyes as sharp as an eagle swept over everyone's body, exuding a powerful aura that shocked people's hearts.
"Mr. Shimada, your younger brother, Mr. Nosa, wants to see you." The man standing beside him, looking down at the neatly arranged line in front of him, suddenly bent down and whispered in Shimada's ear in a respectful tone.
He is the second-in-command of the Yamada group, second only to Shimada's presence in the entire organization - Keisi Ueda.
"Let him in." Shimada's voice is as strong as a bell, giving people a powerful sense of shock.
As his words fell, the originally closed door automatically retreated to both sides, and a young man who was somewhat similar to Shimada but dressed as a gangster walked through the door.
If Wade were standing here at this moment, then he would have found that this so-called Nosa was the gangster who stopped Yukina Ezaki before.
"Brother!" Finding the familiar figure on the wooden chair, Nosa let out a call from a distance of more than ten meters.
He trotted through the torii gate to the steps in front of the wooden chair, and then looked up at the man with a serious expression in front of him, and the joy on his face unconsciously revealed.
Shimada was clearly not impressed by his brother's exaggerated behavior.
The expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and the sharp eagle-like gaze pierced into Nosa's heart like a sharp blade, making him tremble, as if it was not his own flesh and blood brother who was staring at him, but a cold-blooded and ruthless hungry wolf.
"Come on, I'm used to your routines. I can tell you, even my own brother is not allowed to break the laws of our extreme path at will. There was a faint chill in Shimada's tone, like a polar wind, but it was the soul rather than the body that blew it.
"Brother, you misunderstood, I will never mess around, this time I just want to borrow a few people from you, and bring a few guys by the way." Hearing the coldness in Shimada's tone, Nosa hurriedly explained the purpose of his trip to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"How many people to borrow, and still want guys? You're afraid that you won't be able to get any more girls you like, right? Listening to his own brother's explanation, Shimada couldn't help but sneer.
In his eyes, this younger brother's pattern is always limited to the present, and it is completely whimsical to want him to do anything big.
"Uh......" Nosa's face instantly became embarrassed; His gaze began to wander from side to side, and he was slightly relieved when he was sure that no one had a mocking expression on his face. No more awkwardness.
"Alas, it's bad luck for me to have your brother. Fujimura Yuehiro, you pick out four brothers and take the guys with Yamada Nosa, I don't need to say more about how you should behave. Shimada, who had always been indifferent, suddenly felt a little helpless; He casually greeted one of his men, and then slowly closed his eyes, indicating that Nosa would leave.
Nosa is also very acquainted, and after hearing Shimada's words, he thanked him repeatedly; Then he left the conference room very consciously, and with him left five members of the Yamada group.
"Mr. Shimada, do you need me to send someone to check on Mr. Shimada?" With Nosa's departure, Keiyou Ueda, who had been standing silently beside Shimada, suddenly spoke, looking at his eyes, obviously not very worried about the boss's own brother.
Shimada waved his hand, and then said in a calm tone: "I believe in Fujimura Yuehiro's judgment ability, presumably he will definitely not mess with my younger brother." ”
A pink and white cherry blossom fluttered in the wind and finally landed in the palm of Edazaki Yukina's palm.
Yukina Ezaki, who was in a fugue state, felt the touch of her palm, subconsciously looked at her palm, and then gently twisted the petals, blowing out a breath of fresh air to let it continue to float in the air.
The figure reappeared on the other side of the rooftop; She saw him, and he saw her.
"Why is this guy again?" Esaki Yukina frowned slightly, and her slender legs opened and were about to turn away; But she suddenly stopped where she was, and the second foot was not able to take a step after all.
The figure of Wade and the gangsters confronting him appeared in front of him at sunset the day before yesterday, recalling Wade's serious expression at that moment, Ezaki Yukina suddenly felt that this seemingly flowery guy was not as annoying as before.
"Ah, isn't this Ezaki-san? What a coincidence, also come to the rooftop to see the cherry blossoms? Wade stopped beside Edazaki Yukina, reached out and plucked a pink and white cherry blossom from the cherry tree next to him, and carefully delivered it to Ezaki Yukina; There is also a sunny smile on his handsome face.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was smiling at him under the sun, Esaki Yukina's spirit was actually in a trance for a moment.
At that moment, she only felt that the sense of lack that had always existed in her heart suddenly disappeared, and her face was also inexplicably familiar after only three days of meeting.
"Have we met before?" Recovering from her trance, Edazaki Yukina tilted her head slightly and asked Wade; Wade, who heard this, also smiled, just like when he first came to the classroom that day and saw Ezaki Yukina.
"What?! Is she actually impressed? Isn't that a dream of mine, but in some parallel universe? Or is it ...... Is this also a dream? The question that should have delighted Wade became weird the moment Edazaki Yukina asked it.
Wade, unable to control his brain, began to combine this sentence with everything that had happened before, and came to another conclusion that made him tremble.
Although the doubts in his heart were thick, Wade still grasped the rare opportunity in front of him: "Is there one? But I lived in Tokyo before the comet, and even Osaka only came after I woke up. ”
"Wake up?" Esaki Yukina immediately grasped the point of Wade's words.
"Well, when Tokyo was destroyed by a comet, I observed a comet at Mt. Fuji and escaped the disaster; But then he was struck by lightning on a rescue helicopter and fell into a coma. Wade moderately simplified his past experiences and didn't mention anything about the illusion.
“…… I'll go first. The bell rang suddenly, and Yukina Ezaki took this opportunity to end the conversation immediately.
At this time, she didn't want to get to know Wade deeply, and she would say so much to Wade before out of gratitude. Now that her goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to talk to Wade anymore.
"You......" Wade looked helplessly at the back that was gradually moving away. He looked at the cherry blossom in his hand, which was still bright, and gently placed it on the ground.
I walked back to the school building and walked out of the school gate.
"Finally let me find you." A pair of eyes watched Wade leave from a cafeteria across the campus.
In the deserted alley behind him, five strong men in black leather clothes were tying a sleeping girl hand and foot and covering her with black cloth.
