00: Introduction

The sun was setting on another regular day as Testu and Minaru closed up the shop for the day and prepared to head back for the night. It had been another succeful day with everything going at its regular pace. Ojou stopped by to inform them she would be late coming home tonight. She was most likely going out with her co-workers again.

"Oi, Testu look" said Minaru after a while of silent cleaning getting the Oedo Henchman's attention. A young girl stood a small distance away with her back facing them. Her black hair, decorated with waves of blond streaks, brought the attention of passersby. The henchmen watched the girl for a moment until she turned to face their direction. She shuffled in her faded Jeans turning her head from one direction to another looking for something. Though barely seen from the overly large black hoody she wore the men could see a thin piece of folded paper in her hand.

Was she lost?

She seemed to catch sight of the two men for she stared back at them. "Excuse me…" s gentle voice called from her mouth as she approached them. "I'm looking for a Takoyaki shop…. I was told it's somewhere around here?" she asked with a hopeful expression

"Sorry but we're closed for the day" Testu spoke politely before turning back to work. The girl's hopeful expression did not falter.

"Then might one of you be…" she paused to look at the paper in her hand "Asakura Testu?"

"You know her Testu?" asked Minaru who gave Testu a curious look. Testu quickly shook his head.

"You are Asakura Testu?" the younger girl inquired her eyes locking on Testu.

"Who are you?"

The girl immediately bowed before Testu. "I am Mastushima Umeki" she said and straightened up with a down cast stare. "I'm… anno… your younger sister"

"….eh?"
