Location: Harusawa Corporation — Executive Dining Lounge (Tokyo)
The meeting had wrapped up.
The final contract was signed. The terms were sealed.
Now, in the refined calm of the executive dining lounge—elegant lighting, polished floors, the distant clink of porcelain—Kazuma and Keiko sat across from Satoshi, the head of Harusawa Corporation.
The air was lighter, but still held a veneer of formality.
Satoshi rose gracefully and extended his hand with a composed smile.
"Thank you for this opportunity," he said.
"Having the Takahashi Group as not just a key stakeholder, but also a strategic partner, continues to be our greatest strength."
Kazuma stood and shook his hand firmly, meeting his gaze.
"Likewise, Mister Satoshi. We're honored to support Harusawa Corporation's vision."
Satoshi chuckled politely, then slightly turned toward Keiko, with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
