Chapter 49: “How could they take our work without paying any price?” It was a clear, sunny day with a cloudless sky. The road back to Tokyo was nearly empty. On both sides of the gray-brown road, dense green shrubs appeared from time to time, dotted with clusters of blooming flowers scattered across the greenish-brown landscape. Driving alone, Nagayama Naoki turned on the car radio. Current City Pop music filled the cabin, its bright rhythm carried in through the breeze, putting him in…-

Chapter 48: “Akina, Akemi, Mom Will Keep This Compensation for You First” In the evening, the Nakamori family gathered in the living room. “WHAT?! 3 million yen?” Nakamori Akio doubted his ears. “Akina, Akemi, you didn’t get tricked into doing something illegal, did you?” At this point in time, the Nakamori family had not yet fallen into the money-driven trap that would later come with Akina’s fame. They had occasional conflicts, but remained a united family overall. Hearing…

Chapter 2 — 002: Want to Get Rich Overnight? Pay the Rent First! Uuuuu… While Nagayama Naoki was letting his thoughts wander, the water he had put on earlier began to boil. His stomach, freshly treated, couldn’t handle drinks that were too cold or too hot, so he set the kettle aside to let it cool.

Chapter 1 — 001: Who Says Youth Cannot Return? Tokyo, October 1980 — Showa Year 55. There was not the slightest hint of autumn. The lingering heat of the “autumn tiger” still raged, and the nine-o’clock morning sun was no weaker than noon. A young nurse, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, hurried to a hospital room. Through the small window in the door, she saw a thin young man inside packing his belongings. She pushed the door open. “Naoki-san, already packing? Have you…

Chapter 18: Work for Me, Kakuzu Lightning Country, a certain coastal port city. After leaving the bounty exchange, Menma and Kakuzu arrived at an open area. “If you’re not a wanted man with a bounty, leave the money and walk away. I can spare your life,” Kakuzu said in a hoarse voice, placing the money case into his storage scroll. He was an extremely arrogant man.

Chapter 17: An Encounter with Kakuzu at the Bounty Exchange Lightning Country, a coastal port city. Under a gloomy sky, Kakuzu’s figure in a black cloak moved slowly through the bustling streets, exuding an aura that kept others at a distance. His cold teal eyes scanned the surrounding pedestrians, as if evaluating their worth. His presence was oppressive; passersby avoided him, unwilling to meet his gaze.
