Episode 17

CEO: -Well, yes, but being with you I think that anything becomes tastier.

Amai gives a little smile. Then the two sit on the park bench:

Amai: -Do you think the symbols your father saw in the letter are the same ones Tachimaru taught me? And if so, what do you think she wanted to tell me?

CEO: -We'll only know by seeing, but surely she wanted to leave you a message.

Amai: -Do I really need to know? I think I'm fine with this life now.

CEO: -It's about your mother! It's good to know, after all, you only ended up in the mafia because of her.

Amai: -I understand.

CEO: -I wanted to apologize about the punishment, but you were wrong and I couldn't go easy on you, I had to show the others that I'm strict, otherwise they would start to think that just because you're my friend I can let you off the hook, they would start to disrespect me as a boss.

Amai: -I understand, relax, I wasn't even thinking about that anymore.

CEO: -Do you have any dreams?

Amai: -Why such a... strange and random question?

CEO: -I want to know more about you.

Amai: -I dreamed of going to the beach, I never had the opportunity to go.

CEO: -That's it? Wow.

Amai: -What about you?

CEO: -When I was a kid, my dream was to be rich.

Amai: -But aren't you?

CEO: -I guess so, but it turned out not to be what I imagined, today I really hope to live simple moments like this, without any headaches.

Amai: -I get it, but let's stop with this talk, shall we? I don't want to get depressed now. How about a game?

CEO: -What kind?

Amai: -Like this, I'll take five pebbles, I'll shuffle them, and you try to guess how many pebbles are in my hand, if you guess right, I'll do whatever you want. Then you just repeat, also take five pebbles and if I guess how many are in your hand you do whatever I want 😚.

CEO: -Hmm, I like it, let's go then.

Amai: -Okay, I'll start.

Amai gets up and goes to look for ten pebbles. After finding the ten, he comes back and gives five to the CEO:

Amai: -I'll shuffle and you try to guess, right?

CEO: -Right.

Amai: -Guess?

CEO: -Hmm... three?

Amai opens his hand and there were three pebbles.

Amai: -You got it, a bet is a bet, what do you want?

CEO: -Hmm... go to the middle of the square and shout that you love me.

Amai: -Kkk how childish.

CEO: -A bet is a bet.

Amai gets up from the bench, goes to the center of the square and shouts:

Amai: - BOSSSS I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!

Amai comes back and sits down again:

CEO: -What was that?

Amai: -I did what you asked, shouted "that you love me".

CEO: -Cheater. Well now it's my turn, I want to see you get it right! How many?

Amai: -Hmm, none.

CEO: -No way, how did you know?

Amai: -I just figured you'd do that.

CEO: -What do you want? Tell me already.

Amai: -I want you to give me a hug.

CEO: -A hug? Uh... I'll give you one later.

Amai: -You're going to stall me.

CEO: -I won't, believe me.

Amai: -Okay.

CEO: -I'm going to buy a water, do you want anything?

Amai: -No.

CEO: -Aren't you coming with me?

Amai: -kkk it's right here, I'll watch you while you go.

So he went to buy the water. On the way back someone bumped into the CEO:

Someone: -I'm sorry, sir.

CEO: -Watch where you're going!

Someone: -I'm without my glasses.

CEO: -Oh, it's okay.

Then the person gets up and leaves, Amai comes running to talk to the CEO:

Amai: -Are you okay?

CEO: -I am, he just bumped into me.

Then the two of them went back to where they were sitting.

CEO: -I think we better go home, it's getting late (night).

When the CEO reaches into his waist to get his car keys, he couldn't find them.

(I didn't know the name, so I left an image to better explain)

The CEO starts looking for the keys, and out of nowhere Amai nudges him:

Amai: -Boss, I don't think things are going to be very good around here, look, there's someone in your car.

The CEO looks:

CEO: -Wait, it's the person who bumped into me, I was such an idiot, I wasn't paying attention, I ended up getting careless.

The man started the car and started coming at them with everything, the people who were in the square started running and screaming.

Amai: -What do we do? He's going to run us over.

CEO: -I don't know, just don't die.

The CEO ran to one side, Amai stood there thinking about what to do:

Amai thought many things in less than five seconds:

Amai: -How do you dodge a speeding car? Do I throw myself on the ground and the car will go straight over? No, that's too careless, I'll wait for him to get close and jump on top of the car? No, haha, that's against physics... Ah, high places.

Amai looks around and sees a tree, then runs and climbs that tree so fast. Meanwhile the CEO climbed another tree, takes his gun from his waist and shot to puncture the car's tires. The car hit the stone bench and stopped.

Amai: -Hmm, now that there's no car, it's my turn.

He climbs down from the tree while the man got out of the car and ran:

Amai: -Not today!

He grabs a piece of stone from the broken bench and aims it right at his head:

Amai: -Holy mirage, help me, LOOK AT THE STONE

Then he threw the stone and hit the man squarely in the head, at the same time the man fell to the ground.

Amai: -Ouch, I felt the pain from here.

The CEO ran over to the man so he wouldn't escape. The man was bleeding from his head, crying in pain:

CEO: -Who are you? Why did you want to run us over?

The man did not respond and immediately took the knife he had in his pocket and killed himself with a stab to the neck. Blood splattered on Amai:

Amai: -Ew, why did he do that?

CEO: -He didn't want to be tortured to give up the information he had, they're usually trained to even kill themselves but they shouldn't give up information.

Amai: -I swear, if it were me I'd rather live.

CEO: -You wouldn't have a choice, if anything leaked out, the mafia would come after you and kill you.

Hmm...

Amai: -Now what? Your car is wrecked.

I think we can still drive home, well, it's just wrecked. The CEO called someone from the mafia:

CEO: -Hello? I have a little job for you right now, come here to get rid of a dead body and make up an excuse to fool the people who saw this happen.

He gave the address and left the rest in the hands of his subordinates.

Then Amai and the CEO got into the wrecked car and went back home.

SOME TIME LATER IN THE CEO'S FATHER'S ROOM WHERE THE LETTER WAS...

Amai: -Why does he have a dresser with so many drawers, ugh, I'm too lazy to look.

The CEO arrived:

CEO: -I'm back, I went to get myself a drink, I'm going to drink while you search... want a little sip?
