Chapter 4: Search

Several hours later, night had fully set, and the red-light district was at its bustling peak of activity.

In the blind alley beside the brothel where Takahisa had murdered the young master, a group of twenty-odd rough-looking men were solemnly gathered. The young master’s corpse was still lying on the ground, but the rain was falling so heavily, the puddle of blood beneath him had washed away.

The group of men all paid no heed to the rain falling on them as they looked down at the young master’s corpse with looks of clear grief. Then, they looked at the single man they had surrounded.

The man was the receptionist of the brothel Julia worked at. He was also the man who had first discovered the young master’s corpse. It had taken him roughly half an hour to find the young master’s body, upon which he had hurriedly informed the appropriate higher-ups. That was what had led to this gathering of men, but...

The receptionist was pale and trembling as he prostrated himself on the ground. He had just finished reporting what had happened to the man in his midforties before him, who was standing with a terrifyingly angry look on his face. As soon as he finished listening to the details the receptionist gave him, the man in his midforties opened his mouth.

“So...” he began slowly. Everyone immediately shuddered as though the air had gotten colder.

“In short, you were watching the store when Sammy went outside to educate Julia. She then came back alone and ran up to the second floor, then ran back down and rushed out of the store.”

“Sammy” was the name of the young master; the man in his midforties gave the summary of the receptionist’s report himself.

“Y-Yes, Mr. Norman!” The receptionist nodded through his trembling disposition.

“You found that strange and left the brothel to question Julia, only to see her running away with an immigrant kid who wore noble-like clothes. That kid was Julia’s customer just moments prior. Is that right?”

“That is exactly right!”

“Hmm. I see. You may raise your head,” Norman said, ordering the receptionist around in a voice devoid of emotion.

“Y-Yes sir... Gah!”

The receptionist tried to raise his head gratefully, only to be met with the sight of Norman’s shoe swinging at his mouth. Blood and teeth splattered across the ground. The receptionist was knocked back from his kneeling position, falling onto his back.

“Wha?!” The receptionist held his mouth as he fell back heavily onto the wet ground. Blood rushed from his mouth.

“Are you kidding me? What do you mean you returned to your post after you saw Julia leave? You were just standing in the store like a fool while Sammy was dead?”

Norman looked down at the writhing man with bloodshot eyes.

“I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” the receptionist slurred, slamming his head against the ground over and over again in apology.

“You being sorry won’t bring Sammy back to life!” Norman yelled, aiming a kick at the receptionist’s shoulder.

“Gah!” The receptionist flew back once more and writhed on the ground.
