Kenji parked the car at the designated spots for the event attendees. The hotel staffs were busy leading the guests to the hall. Heisuke silently followed Mr. Hokama and Kenji inside the lobby.

"Good morning, misters. Are you here for..."

Mr. Hokama smiled at the hotel concierge who greeted their small group of three. The young man in a maroon and yellow uniform immediately showed the way to them.

This Man Was So Admirable
