Daisuke Kura used to live on the main street and ran a small assembly and processing factory.
Although it was a small and medium-sized business that only subcontracted, it was doing well for several years after starting the business, but it gradually became difficult to manage.
While he was holding his head, Kura saw a TV news story about a large American company undergoing a major restructuring. The manager of the company is a person who ranks high on the list of the world's richest people, and was famous for overworking many of his employees at low wages and repeating restructuring many times.
Kura couldn't help but think that this person was like a devil, an extremely ominous existence. From Kura's point of view, he doesn't want to fire any of the employees who work at his factory.
"You are useless because you are like that."
His college classmate, a much more successful business owner friend, laughed funny when he heard about Kura's situation and complaints.
"A lot of successful business owners are psychopaths who are extremely greedy, have a strong desire to improve, and think of others as nothing more than objects, right? It's ironic, but people who work for a company like that can make a living.A good guy like you makes a mistake and loses employees. I'm going to do it."
Although he admitted that the story had one side of the truth, that was why Kura felt frustrated and angry.
In the first place, even though his friend says such things, he treats his company's employees with care. And yet he speaks of it.
(In other words, I don't have the management skills to stick to my ideals. I don't have the power. And... the ones who prey on people are stronger. That kind of guy wins... huh?)
"Reality is designed so that evil wins in the end." Those with power are often evil. Kura gradually came to think of this, and decided to reorganize the company into a backstreet organization under the pretext that a manager of his own level would not have to cut off the heads of his employees.
After that, Kura transformed himself into a weapon smuggling organization, an organization that seemed to be the ultimate evil in terms of Kura's values. He convinced his employees, too.
"Someone, somewhere, will get hurt and die with what they made." But it will feed us. I can't cut off the employees, but I don't mind if people who have absolutely nothing to do with each other kill each other.
If they weren't aware that people were dying because of the weapons they made, they wouldn't have any remorse. First of all, if we can justify it for our own survival, we won't feel inferior.
However, Kura doesn't want to see people being killed with the weapons they made. If he sees it, he is likely to quit this job. I think he's cowardly, but that's Kura's honest feelings.
The brewery's organization was fairly successful, and the number of factories increased from one to four. New members also increased. The newly developed BC weapon attracted attention from all over the world, and was thought to be an opportunity for the organization to make a leap forward.
However, it is stronger to become evil - a situation occurred that completely overturned Kura's sense of values, which he believed that evil would survive.
Those who claim to be allies of justice, with power that far surpasses that of Kura's organization, are trying to destroy themselves as evil. With a sense of justice and other motives where nothing can be gained just by losing.

After the nightmarish dinner, Kura returned to his hideout and immediately summoned Kakinuma to his room.
"Is it your fault that I made you kill Aizawa Makoto?"
As soon as Kakinuma entered the room, his surviving bodyguards followed behind him, and Kura asked with a stern look as he sat on a chair.
"... yeah, is that so?"
After a few seconds of hesitation, Kakinuma acknowledged with a crooked smile, lifting only one corner of his mouth.
"Makoto Aizawa didn't die. And he said it was my money. About two of my people were killed, and I was about to be killed too."
"No, that was really hard. I'm glad you're safe."
Kakinuma responded politely and rudely to Kura, who spoke indifferently. Seeing that he was defiant no matter how you look at it, Kura was wary. You never know when he will bare his fangs.
"Why did you do that to me without my permission? Just in case, I'll ask you the reason."
He tries to suppress his anger and keep calm, but in fact he doesn't need to suppress it anymore. Kura has already made up his mind to execute the imprudent man in front of him.
"Isn't it obvious? Once I killed Yukioka Junko's only guardian, Makoto Aizawa, I could kill Yukioka at any time. I took the plunge because I had that chance. Moreover, I had the opportunity to slaughter Tsukina and Amano together. was"
Kakinuma said arrogantly while still laughing.
"I'm asking you to explain the reason why you killed someone who is an ally for us. And if even that fails, it won't be a good idea."
Kura stood up. Kakinuma put his hand in his pants pocket and, with a distorted smile, stared at Kura with a hostile gaze.
"I heard that you didn't even get permission to remodel the Red Tormenter. You remodeled it without permission, even borrowed its name and sold it without permission. As the person in charge, I was responsible for this act against a dangerous person named Junko Yukioka. It wouldn't be strange at all if she killed me.
"Hey... what do you think a person's worth is?"
Kakinuma suddenly changes his tone and asks him an unrelated question.
"It doesn't matter if they aren't respected - get a position and a position to subdue many people, and move them. How many people can you subjugate, how big can you do with them? I think that's the highest value as a person.There's nothing else.At least I don't feel worth.
Kakinuma reveals his ambitions and talks in a drunken tone. Kura gives Kakinuma a look of contempt from the bottom of his heart.
"For a poor-hearted fellow like you, just being the boss of the mountain and bragging about it will make you feel good. You don't have the ability to do that when you don't even understand such an obvious thing.Well, I was certainly incompetent when I made someone like you number two.
"No, you're talented. You've just evaluated my talent!"
Kakinuma fired a small pistol that he kept in his pocket. The bullet pierces the bulletproof fiber in Kura's suit, and blood oozes out of his abdomen.
"Talent? Were you overconfident that you had talent?"
Kura collapsed sideways and mocked him with a pained expression.
His bodyguard tried to pull out his gun, but Kakinuma, who already had the gun in his pocket, was quicker. Like Kura, he is shot in the abdomen and collapses.
"Hahahahaha, starting today, I'm the head here. This is the quickest and cleverest move. I'll avenge Junko Yukioka, who killed the previous boss. Yeah, it's a good scenario.And since the organization defeated even Junko Yukioka, the name and reputation of the organization has risen, and the orders are pouring in.What do you think? You're an incompetent ex-boss. This ugly organization will definitely be reborn into a more powerful organization with my power in the future.
Kakinuma looked down at the storehouse and triumphantly triumphed.
"It's not going to go so well."
Immediately after that, the door was opened, and a voice that sounded heartless or astonished rang out. The one who appeared was Makoto Aizawa, holding a pistol in one hand.
When Kakinuma turned around, his eyes widened in shock and fear. With his muzzle pointed at Kakinuma, Makoto steps into the room.
"Well, Kakinuma-kun, you're a man..."
"That's why we, who saw the scene just now, are the perfect witnesses."
Then Fukuda and Junko entered the room in that order. Kakinuma was dressed with his back removed.
he has no escape. He's got a gun pointed at him from behind, so he can't even stand around. In the first place, it was impossible to deal with this number of opponents.
"It's not a fatal wound.
"Fukuda, you are..."
While giving Kura first aid, Fukuda joked with a mischievous smile.
"Well, it seems like you've done a lot of things."
With a carefree smile on her face, Junko tapped Kakinuma's shoulder from behind.
"Selling similar products of the Yukioka brand. Unauthorized remodeling of the Yukioka brand. Attempted murder of Shin-kun and I. That's amazing. It's been a long time since a child has done so much for me, and I think he deserves praise. Yeah. I don't mean to be ironic. I think it's just the power of action that's amazing. It's a shame that you didn't think about the future at all."
Seeing the composition of Junko telling the frightened Kakinuma with a smile, Kura felt a slight chill as he watched from the side.
"The most terrible thing is that he shot Kura-san after deceiving him and tried to blame him, and killed the child he was dating as a test subject for the virus."
Putting aside the Kura case, it was a mystery to Kakinuma why Junko knew about the latter case.
"Help me! If it's worthy of praise, use it! I'm a man who is useful in many ways!"
"Of course I'm going to do that. That's why I'm going to catch him without killing him."
Junko accepted Kakinuma's plea for life with a carefree smile. Hearing that, Kura looked surprised for a moment, but he soon realized his intentions. Given how this sweet mad scientist has treated those who oppose him, he's the natural answer.
"The price I ask is to become my test subject. According to my rules, people who are hostile to me can also be test subjects, so yes, it's just right. You gave me your consent, no, I'm really happy. A self-confident child like you often produces good results."
(This is the result of asking me to use it)
Even though his face twisted in pain, Kura sneered at this exhilarating move.
