Five minutes later, Tanaka Nanten, wearing a loose Japanese-style robe, arrived outside a serene room.
After taking a deep breath, Tanaka Nanten reached out and gently knocked on the door. With his action, the crisp knocking sound spread throughout the entire corridor.
Following that, a low voice came from inside the room.
"It's Nanten, isn't it? Come in!"
"Yes, big brother!"
Having replied, Tanaka Nanten carefully pushed the door open and entered...
As soon as he entered, Tanaka Nanten caught a whiff of tea aroma and, looking up, he saw his older brother, Tanaka Shoichi, fiddling with his tea set.
"Big brother! I'm here!"
"Uh huh!"
Tanaka Shoichi nodded slightly and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I know about Kitano's matter. Condolences to you."
Hearing condolences, he clenched his fists tightly and said in a cold voice, "Big brother, since you know, you should take revenge for him!"
"Of course! He was my nephew; I will naturally seek vengeance for him!"
