Chapter 107 - 105: Lonely Kanzaki Ryoma
Alright," Amon Kotaro responded, acknowledging the situation.
He trusted Mado Kureo's judgment and chose not to press further.
Ui Koori, standing nearby, remained silent. This was Kanzaki Ryoma's decision, and even as his superior, Ui wouldn't interfere.
Ui then addressed Ryoma, "Kanzaki, we should hurry; the meeting is about to start."
Together, they proceeded to the conference room for the 11th Ward Special Countermeasures Meeting.
"Hello, everyone. We're here," Shinohara Yukinori announced as he entered the room, greeting those present.
"I've been waiting for you, Shinohara," Marude Itsuki said with a grin, hands casually tucked into his pockets.
"You seem quite pleased, Marude. When I got your call, I thought it was something serious," Shinohara replied.
"Of course, this time as chief commander, it's a big promotion worth celebrating," Marude said, his excitement evident. "If we do well, there might be another promotion!"
Amon observed Marude's demeanor with a neutral expression. The recent annihilation of CCG forces in the 11th Ward by Aogiri Tree weighed heavily on him. The loss of so many colleagues contrasted sharply with Marude's elation over his promotion.
Despite his reservations, Amon maintained his composure, respecting the chain of command.
