Quick answers
Case history
犯罪組織のボスの家に生まれた花桜梨とその兄の大和にとって、
父の死後に「セブンスムーン」の跡目を継ぐのは自明のことでもあった。
そして何年もの間、かれらは対等の立場で組織を率いて利益と成功を
もたらし、やがてはアメリカへの進出をも目論むようになった。
思い描いていた計画は単純で、 大和がアメリカに渡って花桜梨の
国際的な存在感を高め、その間花桜梨は日本に残って国内を統制する、
といったものだった。 兄妹にとって不運だったのは、花桜梨が日本で
指揮をとるという計画を快く思わない部下たちがいたことだった。
そして迅速かつ暴力的な形で、反乱は発生した。大和は花桜梨を
守るために命を落とし、花桜梨と数人の忠実な部下たちは、
その大和の犠牲のおかげもあって、日本からアメリカへと
逃げ延びることに成功した。
アメリカに着いた花桜梨たちを出迎えたのは、本来であれば大和が
会う予定となっていた男であった。彼は日本人の名前になじみが
なかったため性別の区別がついておらず、花桜梨のことを
「ヤマト」と呼んだ。花桜梨は男の間違いを正そうと思ったが、
結局そのままにした。兄の記憶を残し続けるためにも、その名を名乗り、
その夢を受け継ぐことが最善の道であろうと考えたからだ。
