"It's nothing at all. You don't have to worry about it."
Everyone's attention turned to her.
Even if she claimed it was nothing, none of them could just let it go. The tension in the room made it impossible to believe her. This wasn't something small or trivial—it was about one of their own. And when it came to the safety of a member of their group, worrying wasn't optional. It was natural. It was instinct.
"It's just a letter telling me they want to meet with me," Yumi continued, her eyes lowering slightly before shifting toward Kouhei. "But I'm assuming it's not really me they're after. It's you, Okumura-san."
"M-Me?" Kouhei's voice cracked in surprise, his finger pointing at his own chest.
"Well, it does make sense," Yuuna muttered, narrowing her eyes. "Kouhei-kun is becoming more well-known in the underworld. Naturally, someone in the Nagano Family would notice. But the fact that they went through Yumi instead of sending the letter straight to him… that's just disgusting."
