Ota Masayuki entered the room, somewhat bewildered, to see the commander of this operation, Ono Shunyu, frowning as he flipped through a stack of intelligence reports.
He didn't even look up when he heard the footsteps, simply asking, "Ota, how are things outside?"
"It's deserted. I couldn't even find a place to eat," Ota Masayuki complained, sitting down across from Ono Shunyu.
"Heh, Ota, you truly live up to your nickname, the 'Kyoto Foodie.' Always eating wherever you go," Ono Shunyu said, looking up with an exasperated smile.
"We're not the same. You shoulder the high hopes of the entire Ono Clan, so of course you have to work twice as hard. As for me, I'm just an insignificant second son of the Ota family. No one pays me any mind," Ota Masayuki said nonchalantly.
As childhood friends and now colleagues, Ota Masayuki and Ono Shunyu were on excellent terms, so they could afford to be casual with one another.
