One day, Hibiki gets word that Buyuu’s uncle, himself gunning for a position as successor, is planning to assassinate Buyuu. When Hibiki advises his employer to refrain from going out, not only does Buyuu take Hibiki’s hands in his, but rather than go out, he presses for Hibiki to come to bed with him.
