Summary
He tuned out Fukuzawa' speech. He didn't need to listen to know what had happened: Fukuzawa had needed a favour; Mori-san had had the power to grant it. For the right price, of course.
Didn't take him much to add everything up and find the right answer: there was only one thing that the Agency had that could interest the Port Mafia. He felt Ranpo-san's eyes on him, and stubbornly didn't raise his to meet them.
He feebly wondered who Mori-san had named, in the end. Like it mattered, really.
Ah, Odasaku, he thought. You'd be very proud of me, now.
He got up, and everybody turned to him. He pointed to himself.
“I volunteer.”
(Or, the Agency pays its debt.)
