In the Shuei Clan, there are three positions under the Clan Head or Boss.
While unofficially the young master is higher than the three positions. These three positions are equal to each other.
-First Lieutenant or Second-in-command
-Second Lieutenant or Third-in-command
-Assistant to the boss or Administrator
The Assistant or administrator is in charge of most of the administration and workings of Yakuza, below the Administrator are Law advisors, advisors, counsellors, accountants, and many more.
Below the two lieutenants are the Big brothers followed by the Little brothers and so on.
Income came from feudal tax, casinos, drug trafficking, human trafficking, brothels, protection rackets, arms and drugs smuggling, real estate, and legal investment.
In Japan, Yakuza is semi-legitimate and most of the time well-received by the public. Surprisingly they invest a lot and also help a lot of people like the event from 2011.
Shuei Clan is one of the biggest Yakuza groups in Japan, right now. So the dissatisfaction of the members of this foreign gang walking around their territory is like a spit on their faces.
Big gangs have pride, y'know? The Shuei Clan is always under the control of the Ichijou Family.
If not for Raku dating the daughter of the Bee hive's boss, then this city is covered with blood by now.
'The members have right to be angry, even I don't know what is the boss is thinking.' Ryu thought as he walked away from those hot-blooded younglings of their gang.
Ryu, the first lieutenant of the Shuei Clan, the second-in-command, and one of the three persons below the Boss also feels helpless right now.
Since Raku's father had become head of the clan, he is brutal when he is young and established the current peak of the Shuei clan and has always been in a head-on confrontation with the govermrnt but even that can't stop him and even gave the current face-scars of the current Commissioner of the Police, that's the highest Police rank!
Establishing the current power of the Shuei Clan by eliminating the rival clans but alas. Now the boss became old, it seems he lost a lot of steam. That's the thoughts of Ryu.
Even though he is slightly dissatisfied with the decision of the boss, who is he to question the lord, he is only his sword.
'I hope the young master will take us to greater heights.' He hopefully thought, but alas, Raku wants to become a civil servant and he can only helplessly sigh. 'I hope the young master changes his mind.'

Inside the residence, there is a commotion. Well, because the young master has come out from his nest and seems to have somewhere to go.
"Young Master, you going to a date?"
"Is young master will have a date again with that half-Japanese girl of those bee-f*ckers?"
"Maybe the young boss will meet other girls! The future boss deserves many worthy consorts!"
"Sheesh, young boss It's so hot this day why are you wearing that?"
"It's hot today because young master wears that outfit!"
"Jeez, guys! Enough with your compliments. I know I'm cool!" I said happily.
'As I thought! My outfit is right! I'm dripping as always!' The outfit I decided on in two seconds is shorts, a jacket, and sunglasses. I know, I drip so hard.
Cool as I may be, I still don't forget the purpose of my outfit! Entice woman! That's right!
Wearing my sunglasses, I turned to these Yakuzas: "Aight, I'm going out!"
I got out of the residence and immediately heard a shout: "PREPARE THE LIMOUSINE!"
'The what—' And bam! There's immediately a limousine in front of me. And the pathway to the thing is laid in front of me.
"This..."
'THIS IS SO COOL! Haha! Limousine huh? This is befitting a man like me!' I thought as I walked through the pathway, with Yakuzas on both sides of the path up bowing.
'Hehe! I like this feeling! Is this what Japanese crime bosses feel? This is the best! I like it!'
"Where are you heading young master?" After I entered the limousine, the driver asked me. I looked at him before falling into thought.
Now that I think about it, I recalled "me" or rather the original wuss Raku in a scene. The backstory of this whole thing. Flashback as they call it.
—
"Ichijou-Kun!"
"I" became flustered seeing this girl approaching me. The girl I've always liked since middle school. That is Onodera.
"Y-Yo Onodera, w-what's up?"
"Can I have a minute... Umm... Well... Okay–" Onodera seems to be looking for the word she has to say.
'Oh God, she's so cute! W-Why she's avoiding eye contact, d-does she hates me?!' Immerse to "my" thoughts.
"Umm... Are you–" She's sure having her time while I'm dying of anxiety due to this sudden interaction.
But the next continued words that left her rosy lips left me stunned. "A-Are you busy this weekend?"
'Eh?' My brain short-circuited for a second.
'Ehhhh?! I-Is she asking me out?!' But the reality is often disappointing.
While I'm still flustered, she continued her words that made me more disappointed: "Well the truth is... I would like your help at work."
I felt that I just pulled away from my fantasy and can't help but sigh: 'Oh, just work... I thought she's going to ask me out on a date–'
'But that wouldn't happen...' But then I felt something. I can feel the shining beacon of hope from a distance and come to a realization.
'Work?' My eyes shot open as if I found gold.
'What work? Do you mean at the Japanese candies shop that her family owns?!' It means I have a chance!
Still avoiding eye contact, Onodera adds: "Well, one of our employees has something to do, so he couldn't make it and my mom wanted to get someone who could cook–"
There's a hue of pink on her cheeks as she continues once more: "A-And well, I didn't know anyone better at cooking than you Ichijou-kun..."
"... S-So well, if you don't mind..."
'Count me fucking in.'
—
And back to the present.
'This Raku guy is lamer than I thought! Tch, I can't believe she won't even make a move on her, what a wuss!'
'If it is was me— ah nope, I have no right to say since I have no experience. Mom said that if you didn't experience it, shut your trap.' I seriously thought.
'Sigh, I want to eat mom's dishes but now I'm this wuss now and in a weird dream or nightmare that is...'
"Uhm y-young master, where are you heading?" The driver pulled me back to reality.
'Oh, it seems I've been quiet when reliving this wuss' memories.' I scoffed inside my head.
"Where?—" I grinned. "Of course, to the Onodera Japanese Sweets Shop, I heard they have good sweets there. I want to have a taste."
---
I can already see the shop from a distance. It seems from this wuss' memories, he'd been here a couple of times to buy and sometimes stood there like a doofus because he's a pussy and embarrassed to ask Onodera out.
'Hmp! But not me! I'm brimming with confidence and not a pussy!' I proudly thought.
"Aight, drop me here." Seeing we're getting ever closer to the shop I decided to disembark.
"Young boss, we'll escort you!" Said the Yakuzas that followed me here.
"Nope." I immediately decline. 'I'm busy getting a girl here and approval of her family, I might go home a son-in-law haha!~ Ehem, anyway I need no such distraction.'
"Anyway, starting today, secretly guard this residence," I ordered sternly.
"B-But this is not under our jurisdiction young master!" One yakuza-guy replied. I immediately turned to him with a stern gaze.
Seeing the man sweating profusely. 'Hmm, my gaze can still scare huh.' I thought.
In the past, I just need to give a person a stern gaze and he or she will give me his wallet. This is my ability, I called it "Cool man's stare".
'Be thankful wuss, this is my ability! Ain't yours. Hmp!'
Withdrawing my gaze, I continued saying: "Don't worry I'll tell father about it. Just guard the perimeters will ya? I think you know what to do with suspicious guys."
"Yes, young master!" They replied. Satisfied with their reply, I waved my hand and directly walk to the destination of the shop.
I'm not the one to overstep my authority, it seems our clan has not officially established my position in the gang yet. Well, original wuss Raku wants to be a civil servant after all and refused to attend to gang matters. 'Tsk, this Raku is cringeworthy. I'm tempted to do some gang stuff–'
'You know what? I'll do what I want as long I am here.' I chuckled.
These Yakuza escorts that are following right now are just obeying my orders because they don't want to offend their next Boss. I'm the next-in-line after all.
'I want to get involved and make more money haha!'
Without realizing it I'm already in front of the shop. Looking at the storefront, yes it is a plain candy shop. Not that big nor small, about two-story I believe. I think it is also their house.
'This is how I envisioned my marijuana shop! Of course medical marijuana! I am a man of the law, after all. I can even recite the whole Bill of rights, preamble included!' Feeling good about myself I strolled closer to the entrance.
It's an open entrance, when I'm about to step forward, I noticed myself hesitating involuntarily.
'The f*ck? Hey, you wuss are influencing me right now? Hmp! You pussy, here's comes mister cool guy making his entrance!' I forcefully push myself inside the shop and noticed a lady sitting on the storefront.
"Excuse me—"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY SHIPMENTS?!" My words are cut-off by a thunderous shout that belongs to a woman.
"FUCK IF I KNOW! DO SOMETHING. IT'S YOUR JOB, RIGHT?" The lady I saw earlier is the one doing the shouting. I have no say, It ain't my business I'm here to get a girl's heart with my charms.
"LISTEN UP! IT BETTER BE HERE TONIGHT! I GET IT FROM YOU AFTER THAT, GOT IT?—" She said to the landline phone on her side.
Bang! "Jesus!" She shouted once more as she angrily put down the landline.
She then mumbled something under her breath and as if finally noticing my presence she turned her gaze in my direction. "Hm?"
It's not every day you saw someone triggered as she is, but you don't give a damn about it anyway. 'Oh right, she's looking at me now. She seems to be working here since this is a family shop, she may be a relative or close associate. I need to make a good first impression!'
"Hello–"
"What are looking at? What does a student have to do here?! You looking down on sweets?" She said looking at me murderously.
'Looking down on sweets?' Left me confused, not gonna lie but. 'How dare you looked at me with those eyes of hers? I hate people looking at me like that. Does she want to square up?' My initial confused face is replaced with a serious one. I hate people that look down on me, in my life, no one ever looked at me like that without getting beat like a pulp.
I'm about to ask this lady why she's such a b*tch and if she wants to have a fistfight when another person comes to my view.
"Mom! Wait a minute!"
"Kosaki?" The lady looked at the person that have arrived.
'Kosaki. T-That's! Wait, her mom is that b-' Now that I think about it, they do look the same.
"That's the person who's working for us today!" Kosaki defended.
"Eh?" From the looks of this b- I mean her mom and my future mother-in-law. Yep, I'm that confident. She does not have a clue about me.
The girl, Kosaki Onodera, finally turned her look to me. Her face became embarrassed and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks. Her current look seemed to have left me dazed.
Then our eyes met, her face became more redden but she continued what's she's going to say: "G-Good morning Ichijou-kun... T-Thanks for coming today."
And I'm helplessly fell to a trance-like state that I never once in my life felt. This is something I don't have inside and has to do with the original Raku-wuss guy.
