The Mugino Family head really was not in the mansion.

He had left on a job before midnight.

The well-polished black bulletproof car was parked on the curb in the verdant city outskirts.

“Oh, the sun’s coming out already. I really am becoming nocturnal now. That’s so bad for your health… The line is so fuzzy when doing things online, but now that that amateurish group of false billing scammers causing so much trouble in the area has been dismantled in a game of .50 caliber target practice, I really thought I could rest easy and get some sleep, but now this.”

The elderly family head left the car.

The man in a fancy Italian suit breathed in the biting chill of the early morning air, released a white breath, and gazed into the morning sun. Without really focusing on it.

A maid called Kagyu bowed respectfully next to him. She had only just been promoted from the troops to the Management. That meant she was still a new Manager. That wasn’t a position that normally let one speak directly to the head.

The reason for this was obvious.

“We still cannot reach Sakuya-sama. Roll call is underway, but we still do not know how much of the Management has rebelled. Plus, those who did obediently respond could always be spies.”

“I see.”

“Shizuri-sama was seen around, but we do not know where she has gone. According to the troops present, she did not seem intent on joining Sakuya-sama. She escaped after catching Manager Mujinayama off guard. …That we had no information on her before this suggests Sakuya-sama’s faction was monitoring her actions and keeping any reports from reaching the Family as a whole.”

“…I see.”

The number of butlers and maids who responded to his lowered gaze was noticeably small. All the trump cards known as the old-timers or veterans were missing. Even Mujinayama, who had acted as the chief holding Management together, had left the head’s side and gone into hiding.

That would explain why Shizuri’s presence in Yokohama had not reached the head’s ears.

Their betrayal had not been revealed by mistake. At this point, there was nothing he could do with this knowledge. Sakuya was making her intentions clear.

The amount of Management on your side was directly linked to your strength in the Bloodline.

This alone revealed the scope of Mugino Sakuya’s rebellion. Maybe that was a natural cause of concern for the one whose throne was being targeted.

Except this wasn’t about that.

“I can only think of one reason Mujinayama would freeze long enough for Shizuri to escape. She fried my diorama, didn’t she?”

He had spent 40 years on that. A man would have things he prized more than his life. Quite a few things.

The Italian suit man’s shoulders slumped and he leaned his weight against the handle of the shovel sticking into the ground.
