Kanba sat in a deserted subway car, legs crossed, Penguin No. 1 at his side. The black-suited men stood in front of him, surrounding him.

Without any hint of agitation, Kanba took the envelope from one of the men. “Perfect. This should be enough for Himari’s medicine.” No. 1 gave a stoic nod as well. Kanba slipped the envelope inside his jacket pocket. “Now then, about the next job…”

Just then, the doors connecting to the next car clattered open. Kanba turned to see Masako, makeshift gun in hand, and Esmeralda, glaring directly at him.

“Goodness! We’ll have to crush them soooon!” Masako somersaulted into the car, popping back up and shooting each one of the black-suited men, who had been too stunned to move.

“Masako!” By the time Kanba could react, most of the men in black were already on the floor.

Masako faced off with Kanba, who was still sitting, not moving a muscle. Her hair was immaculate, not a single strand coming loose from her curls. She wore a navy-blue blouse with a bowtie at the neck, and a knee-length skirt with an intricate black print. Black tights adorned her legs, and on her feet were high-heeled ankle boots in a lively blue hue.

She leveled the gun at his forehead. “Do you have any idea what you’re doing? I told you, didn’t I? You stand at the edge of that frozen shelf as we speak. If you take another step, you’ll fall into the icy sea!”

“That’s none of your business.” Kanba lifted his head slightly, looking coldly back at her.

Masako frowned. “If you need money, I’ll pay it. That should work, shouldn’t it?”

“You’re gonna break into the Natsume family funds?” Kanba managed to say.

“Yes. I’ll crush them until there’s nothing left, just before you fall into the sea and become food for the orcas. All right?”

Without warning, she shot at Kanba. The bullet rushed just past his ear, shattering a window. He leapt from the seat and grabbed the barrel of Masako’s gun. “You’re just gonna shoot me?!” he demanded.

“What exactly is so appealing about that little girl?” asked Masako, her voice trembling slightly.

“What’re you talkin’ about?”

“Please just be straight with me. I came here to find you. I know everything about you.”

Kanba glared back at her, saying nothing.

“If you don’t know, then shall I say it for you? You’re in love with that young woman. And there’s nothing you can do about it, no matter how much you fight it!”

Kanba felt a twinge of pain in his heart as she said this. However, he did not let it show as he turned the muzzle of the gun away from him. “Just who the hell are you talking about? All I want to do is protect my family.”

“Which means that I’ll never be good enough for you, will I?” said Masako, voice wavering faintly. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she pulled another gun from behind her back, aiming it once again at Kanba.

“Enough already.”

Masako bit her lip hard, gripping both of the guns.
