Dinner with the Yakuza Boss

Ryo had just settled in for a peaceful afternoon when his phone buzzed.

📱 Unknown Number: "Come to the mansion tonight. 7 PM sharp. Don't be late."

Ryo (reading, sweating): "Wait… MANSION?!"

Then, before he could react—a black car pulled up outside his house.

Ayane (leaning in the doorway, grinning): "Oh? Looks like someone's important."Ryo (panicking): "NO. THIS IS BAD. REALLY BAD."

The car window rolled down, revealing a huge, terrifying Yakuza guy.

Yakuza Guy: "Get in. The boss is waiting."

Ryo's soul left his body.

Ryo: "W-Wait, I have rights—"Yakuza Guy: "No, you don't."

And just like that, he was dragged away.

Before Ryo could even process his potential death, the car stopped—but not at a hideout.

It was a massive, luxurious mansion.

Ryo (blinking): "Wait… I was expecting a torture chamber."Yakuza Guy (ignoring him): "The boss is inside. Move it."

As Ryo stepped in, he was greeted by a long dining table, filled with expensive food… and the boss himself.

Yakuza Boss (grinning): "Takahashi! You actually showed up. Sit."

Ryo nervously sat down, fully expecting to be shot.

But before things got worse…

💥 The front door burst open!

Haruka (panting): "RYO! DON'T SIGN ANYTHING!"Misaki (adjusting gloves): "I knew something shady was happening."Reika (smiling): "Ara~ What an interesting gathering."Ayane (calmly sitting next to Ryo): "Oh, I wouldn't miss this for the world."

Ryo's heart dropped.

Ryo (muttering): "WHY. ARE YOU. ALL HERE?"Haruka: "We're here to save you!"Ryo: "From WHAT?!"

Yakuza Boss (laughing): "Hah! I like these girls. Fine, you all can stay. Let's eat."

And just like that… dinner started.

As food was served, the boss leaned in toward Ryo.

Yakuza Boss: "Now, let's talk about you."Ryo (sweating): "U-Uh… yes, sir?"Yakuza Boss: "I hear… you have many women fighting over you."

💀 Dead silence. 💀

Ryo (choking on food): "I—WHAT?!"Haruka & Misaki (outraged): "WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!"Ayane (grinning): "Oh, this is getting good."Reika (smiling): "I'd like to hear this too."

The Yakuza boss sipped his tea, unfazed.

Yakuza Boss: "Listen, kid. Women are dangerous. I should know—I married four times."Ryo: "That's… not helping."

Yakuza Boss (grinning): "So tell me, Takahashi… which girl are you picking?"

💀 More silence. 💀

Ryo (internally): I'M GOING TO DIE.

Haruka, Misaki, Ayane, and Reika all turned toward him.

Their eyes burned with interest.

Haruka (blushing): "Y-Yeah, Ryo… Who are you picking?"Misaki (smirking): "Choose wisely, Takahashi."Reika (tilting her head): "Ara~ I'm curious too."Ayane (grinning, cracking her knuckles): "Go ahead, Ryo. Pick."

Ryo looked at the boss for help.

Ryo (whispering): "Sir. Please. Help me."Yakuza Boss (laughing): "Nope. This is entertaining."

With zero options left, Ryo did what he did best—he talked his way out.

Ryo (clearing throat): "You see, sir… love is a complicated thing."Yakuza Boss: "Hoh?"

Ryo dramatically held up a chopstick.

Ryo: "Love is like chopsticks. You can't use just one. It's all about balance."Haruka, Misaki, Ayane, & Reika: "Hah?"

Ryo, feeling himself now, continued.

Ryo: "You see, each of these girls… represents a part of my life. Together, they form a perfect equilibrium. Choosing just one would destroy the harmony of the universe."

Haruka (confused): "Wait… are you comparing us to chopsticks?"Misaki (flatly): "Takahashi. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Ryo (dramatically sighing): "And yet, you're all still listening."

Silence.

Yakuza Boss (laughing heartily): "Hah! Kid, you're either a genius or the biggest idiot I've ever met."

Ryo: "I like to think it's both, sir."

And just like that… Ryo somehow survived.

As they left the mansion, Ryo wiped sweat off his forehead.

Ryo (relieved): "Phew. That went better than expected."

Then, he realized the girls were staring at him.

Ryo: "…What?"

Ayane (grinning): "So we're chopsticks, huh?"Haruka (cracking her knuckles): "Care to explain that, Ryo?"Misaki (adjusting gloves): "I think he needs a lesson on proper metaphors."Reika (smiling sweetly): "Ara~ I think we should all talk with him. Privately."

Ryo turned pale.

Ryo: "W-Wait. We just left the Yakuza mansion! You can't—"

Ayane: "Oh, we can."

And that night, Ryo's suffering continued.
