Perhaps the only word that could describe Gan'an Shinomiya's feelings at the time was sour. Forget the Shinomiya Family—they would never dare do something like this. Even the Sanzenin Family...
Even that freakishly talented young lady, said to rival Keiryu Doma in the stock market, would not dare treat her own family business as a joke.

The country's economy had long since become as stagnant as dead water—
Wasn't the reason the Shinomiya Family had fallen into its current twilight state that most industries
