Synopsis
Small-scale negotiator Mebuki faces his enigmatic past when former classmate Hyoudou reappears with unclear protective intentions.
Mebuki Akira is a negotiator who specializes in helping everyday people resolve small-scale disputes—whether it's dealing with troublesome neighbors or navigating tricky situations with local lenders. His quiet life takes an unexpected turn when Hyoudou Juetsu, a figure from his past, reappears. Now a prominent member of a local organization, Hyoudou offers his assistance in protecting Mebuki's office, though his true intentions remain unclear. The two share a complicated history, with unresolved tensions from their school days creating friction between them. As Hyoudou attempts to insinuate himself into Mebuki's life, their interactions hint at deeper motivations and past connections that neither has fully addressed.
