Summary[]
Sakamoto is living a peaceful life with his wife and daughter when Shin, his partner from the hitman days and clairvoyant comes to visit him. He tries to convince Sakamoto to come back of the hitman world, but Sakamoto disagrees. Shin then has to kill Sakamoto, due to the fact that he left the hitman world. However, Shin is defeated, and upon defeat begs those from the Dondenkai to spare Sakamoto. It isn't successful and he is cornered by the men. However, Sakamoto appears and makes quick work of those present. Shin comes to work in Sakamoto's shop and over the next few days, they have encounters with various characters, including Lu Shaotang.
